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)!
Take as long as you need; there's no time limits here!
And here's some helpful HTML to make it pretty!

Folding in beside Dave is as easy as breathing.
She does it a lot: when she's scared of the box under the bed or scared of the dark or simply just wants to have someone to hold onto. And sometimes, it's the other way around; he shows up at her door often enough, a wisp of a shadow in the darkness, softly illuminated by her nightlight. Without his sunglasses, Dave almost looks too fragile, and as he slips in beside her, wrapping his arms around her carefully (he can't hurt her, she's too precious to him), she tells him stories.
They're real to her, at least -- stories of forests and the smell of rain as it fell on her island, of rock climbing and cliff jumping and swimming in the cove. It's always something happy; Dave likes to think that it's always sunny where she comes from, the sun searing his eyes even in his imagination. Jade just likes to share her happy stories with him, watching his face as she gently strokes his cheek. She tells them until she falls asleep, though sometimes he falls asleep first, it's not often. They have messed up sleeping schedules -- four in the morning and then five in the afternoon, naps intermittently and food in between. But at least they're together, she thinks. She likes the feelings of arms holding her close, of waking up sprawled across a familiar face, hands clasped together.
And in dreams, it's not so bad -- if he's next to her, the dreams are all sunshine and clear skies, picnics on her island or on LOFAF or who knows where. Sometimes he kisses her in her dreams, and when she wakes up the next morning with an empty bed, she places her hand on her lips and wonders if it was really real, or if she imagined it all. Dave smiles when he sleeps, and though she's not sure what he's dreaming about (though she's curious, she wants to ask Alex if she can help her find out), she doesn't dare ruin the moment. Instead, she leans in and kisses him, making him stir as she slips out of her bed and into the kitchen. There's always cereal in the morning, and sometimes he wakes up to the soft munching of Lucky Charms as Jade sits on the bed, watching him roll around in the early morning light. But mostly they eat them together, sitting at the kitchen table in their pajamas, able to say nothing and yet feel everything.
But it's always dreams that she looks forward to -- waking up to the soft brush of a hand against her side, the feel of hair as it brushes against her neck, head nuzzling into her shoulder. At least then, with stories full of sunshine, they can both have good dreams together.
