Author: rikachi
Pairing: Akame (RyoDa hints)
Genre: Romance, drama (of sorts), weirdness, AU
Rating: R
Word Count: ~3900
Summary: "One night in the peculiar city of Tokyo, the weirdest of things can happen, but only to those with the curiosity and courage to look past the neon lights and cigarette smoke. They call it concrete jungle, and Akanishi Jin and Kamenashi Kazuya are the urban beasts of the night."

A/N - Okay folks, it's been ages since I've finished anything by myself so I'm freaking out about this one. Originally, superhero0008 was gonna beta this but as we've just sent her a gigantic fic for bigbang_je I decided not to bother her with this. Also, I was anxious to post this soon because this is a VERY late birthday present for mazauric, her bd was in April and it's August. Whoopsie ^_^' I'm sorry sweetie. I'm content with the outcome.. ..I think? I don't know, this is a glorious mess. Try to enjoy.

Oh, and if you want a soundtrack for this thing, try M83's Midnight City, I listened to it non-stop while writing. And for the record, I've struggled with this one all year, so you'd expect something a bit more lengthy.. D: I tried!

Anyways, enjoy (if you can..)

Title: Paint Me in a Million Dreams
Author: rikachi
Pairing: Akame
Rating: R
Genre: Romance, Drama, Angst
Beta by: None
Disclaimer: I do not own the characters
Summary: ”What do you want?” Every word feels heavy on Kazuya's lips and he feels like he's acting against the laws of nature, or the world itself, for not allowing his urges to take over.

You know what I want, Jin wants to answer, but instead glues his eyes to his burning cigarette. He was never good with words, or pompous, big things like his love for Kazuya.

A/N - Well then, here goes.. I'm freaking out right now, this is the first individual work I've published since Summertime, which was over half a year ago D: I took incredibly long with this, and it's nowhere near as long as I planned initially, but I felt like I didn't want to make it longer with this type of prose. If you want a song to go with this one-shot, I recommend Imogen Heap's Hide and Seek.

Happy belated birthday Emi, sorry I took so long. I hope you like it enough to collaborate with me again sometime!
