Progress

I've been writing a lot lately, which is good. I made serious progress on Whatever It Takes, Of Dreams and Miracles and The Girl Who Lived: The Chamber of Secrets, I just have to post the new chapters.

I also have several new short Instant Star stories. I don't know what it is about this show that fascinates me, but I was just motivated to write. Even if the pairing I like disturbs me to no end.

I have this weird fascitation with Tommy/Jude, even though the very concept disturbs me. I mean, as a rule I disaprove of the idea of 22 year-olds and 15 year-olds. It's just kind of icky. But that doesn't stop me from being inspired to write about that particular pairing.

Here's one of the new stories I've come up with. I think it's pretty good for what it is. I don't know what my new obsession with present tense is, but I've noticed I've been using it a lot. I assume it's a fad that will go away soon.


Real
By Misha

Disclaimer- I don't own any of the characters of "Instant Star" (if I did do you think she'd be fifteen?), I don't know who does, but it's not me and I'm not making any money off this, so don't sue me.

Author's Note- All right, I'm kind of obsessive about Instant Star. Even after only two episodes, I love the show. In fact, my only problem with it is the fact that she's 15, becuase I'm totally into Jude/Tommy, despite the wrongness. That said, this is another Jude/Tommy piece, I have quite a lot of those. What can I say, I write what I'm inspired to write. Well, that's all, enjoy.

Pairing- Tommy/Jude.

Summery- She's thought about kissing Tommy, but now that's it happening she can't believe it's real.

Spoilers- Up to "Come As You Are".

Rating- PG



Jude's thought a lot about kissing Tommy.

She has a crush on him, even if she doesn't want to admit it. She just can't help it, she's drawn to him. She thinks about what it would be like to kiss him, to really kiss him and have him kiss her back.

She knows she's too young, but she still can't help thinking about it. About him. She's especially thinking about it now, because he's right there beside her.

They're working on a new song. Not at the pier this time, they don't want to end up in Talk National again. This time Tommy takes her to his place.

She knows that she shouldn't read anything into it, but she's still psyched. They work on the song and as always she feels the connection between them. They make great music together.

They're on his couch. She can't believe they're in his living room.

His hand brushed her face by accident and she turns to really look at him, the guitar still in her hands. They can't tear their eyes away. She lets go of her guitar and it falls into her lap.

Tommy gently takes it from her and puts it down. They're eyes are still locked.

She leans in and so does he. Their lips meet. It's not like the last time they kissed. Where she kissed him and it was a disaster and a bad idea.

This is a real kiss. It's like melting. Or at least that's what it feels like to Jude. Tommy's one hand is in her hair and the other is on her back, her arms are around his neck.

It's a long kiss.

Finally they pull away, because they have to breath.

Tommy runs his hand through his hair. "What am I doing?" He mutters. "You're fifteen."

"Almost sixteen." She points out softly.

"It's still too young." He comments. "I'm seven years older than you, Jude."

She knows that, but she also knows how he makes her feel. SHe leans in to kiss him again. He responds and the kiss deepens.

He pulls away from her. "I shouldn't be doing this." He mutters, then he sighs. "I know it's wrong, but God help me, I can't stop."

They kiss again. A deep, passionate kiss. She's never been kissed like this before.

She can't believe it's happening. It's real. She's kissing Tommy. It's all she ever dreamed and more.

Because it's real.

The End

So there you go, an example of what I'm currently working on. Just short drabble. Nothing of substance, but cute none the less.
