AN: I began writing drabbles about a week ago for my cousin. She got me into Kazuma x Kimishima, and you have her to thank(blame) for me sharing my collection.
...I suppose I've always been awed by authors who can manage to write an emotional story in so few words, so I've been wanting to do the same thing myself and I figured it was as good a time as any to try out writing that way.

Anyway, these drabbles are random...basically whatever I'm feeling at the moment affects my writing. All of these are 100 or 150 words...I like keeping things simple and easy.

Warnings: There are spoilers for the first twelve episodes...but I'm sure if you're reading this, you already know what I'm talking about.

I do not own s-cry-ed...my longing to own Straight Cougar is wishful thinking at best.

'Nothing lasts forever.'

The truth of that statement struck Kazuma like a well-aimed attack as he stared dejectedly at the empty, emotionless bed. No warmth radiated from the pristine sheets and the unyielding mattress was less than tempting.

Just from a simple glance at the bunk, Kazuma felt the dull aching begin in his chest again and he turned away from the bed and swallowed with difficulty, trying to choke down the damning sob that throbbed in his throat.

Wiping viciously at his blurry eyes, Kazuma settled on the floor, his back slumped against the bed. He tipped back his neck and stared apathetically at the shadowed ceiling, trying to suppress the rushes of emotion jolting through his heart and brain.

Kazuma wasn't ready to face…sleeping in a bed alone.

Burying his tear-stained cheeks in his arms, Kazuma let his exhausted, heart-broken body sleep uneasily on the cold, unforgiving floor.
