Song drabble meme!

the song drabble meme

It's pretty simple and fun, folks. This is how this works!
( 01 ) Have a playlist ready! Don't use all your songs--try and narrow it down a little.
( 02 ) Let everyone know how many songs you're working with. Also, which characters you would be willing to write about.
( 03 ) Others tag your post, picking a character or pairing or friendship or familial relationship or whatever, and then choose a number from your list.
( 04 ) Write a drabble related to that song, using that/those character(s)!

HERE'S THE CATCH:
You only have the length of the song to write a drabble!
(Or, you could, you know.  Just put the song on repeat until you hit a stopping point.  Who's gonna know?)

Here's a handy HTML box, if you so desire!

<b>Characters:</b> -Name || (<lj user="username"></lj> ) -Name || (<lj user="username"></lj> ) <b>Number of Tracks:</b>

Cassie and Nate, 230

The Sound of Silence

[staturity]

"Hey." Cassie's comm crackled with the familiar voice of the Blue Beetle.

"What's up?"

"Got a minute? I saw Nate again. I figured you'd want to talk."

"What? Oh. Oh yeah. Baxter Building again?"

"Yup. Be there in 15?"

"See you."

This was the third time they'd done this. It was starting to become routine.

Cassie got to the roof of the Baxter Building early for once. As always her mind was racing but as always it came to a sudden halt when Jaime arrived.

"He's fine, as usual. Things went well. We're seeing each other again next Saturday."

Seeing each... "That's... good. I guess."

"You know you shouldn't worry about him. I've been keeping a close eye on him for you."

"I... guess you have."

Jaime stared at her for a bit, trying to figure her out. "You know usually you've got a lot more questions. Is everything O.K.?"

"Uh- well I just- sorry, this is really weird for me."

"Yeah, I get that. Shut up ah sorry, that was to my symbiote not you."

"Uh." Cassie cleared her throat. "So when did you two start... you know."

Jaime blinked. "What?"

"You know. Seeing each other."

"...Like I said, we first met at the Expo."

"No, I mean, you know."

"No, I really don't." He paused. "Are we having two conversations here? Because it's really starting to feel that way."

Cassie rubbed her forehead. "Augh I mean, dating. When did you two start dating."

"When did we WHAT?! O.K., now I KNOW we're having two different conversations. Why did you think- we're not together! Dios! Why does everyone think we're gay?"

Homeward Bound

[staturity]

Billy had offered to drop Cassie off at her home but if anything he was more tired than she was. If that was possible. Besides, after being gone almost a week (or was it more than a week?), her mother would freak out if she was randomly teleported home. No, showing up on the front steps was better. It's not like she hadn't done it before.

She took the subway. And as soon as she sat down she leaned back and closed her eyes. That didn't last long.

"Where have you been?" It was Nate, sitting right next to her, sounding both annoyed and worried.

"I could ask you the same question." She groaned, slowly opened her eyes, and craned her head to look at him. "Thought you would've heard. Teddy had a giant space adventure. Which means I had a giant space adventure too. I'd love to tell you more but-" She gestured to the crowd of people around them. "And I don't think I've slept in two days. Except four hours on the trip back."

"You weren't hurt, then?"

"Not any more than usual. I didn't know you cared." She was too tired to put any emotion behind the statement.

Nate frowned and looked away. "Of course I care."

"Mm, well at the next stop I can tell you all about it. My mom can wait another few hours." She yawned and closed her eyes. "So how about you wake me when we get off? I'm about to pass out."

"Alright."

"Mmm." Cassie leaned over to rest her head against his shoulder and was asleep before Nate could protest. Which, on reflection, he decided he didn't want to.
