Title: Pink (A 155-Word Fic)

Disclaimer: I plead the fifth. Or maybe I just need a fifth. Never mind.
Archive: Sure, why the heck not. Knock yourself out.
Notes: This song contains lines from Steven Tyler's song "Pink." I should never listen to music when I'm doing mind-numbing HTML on another story because things like this happen. What a crime, what a travesty. I hope you never look at the color pink the same way again. I don't.

They stood staring at the ceiling.
"I'm going to paint it pink."
"Pink," he asked, "like the bing on you..."
"Don't say it!" she interrupted.
"Say what," he asked, all innocence and light.
"I grew up listening to the same Aerosmith that you grew up with."
"I wanna wrap you in rubber."
"Oh god, if I paint it pink now I will never be able to look at it."
"Just think. When you're laying there looking up you'll be able to think of all sorts of wild things."
"Yeah, of you and that song."
"Oooo, you'd think of me. "
She rubbed the back of her neck. It was starting to stiffen as they continued to stare up.
"Pink is my favorite color," he whispered.
They finally looked at one another. They collapsed on the floor in laughter.
"Pink because you are so very," he choked out.
"Alright. I'll paint it pink," she gasped.

An afternote: Several people seemed to be a little confused by this story. I guess I just assumed (erroneously) everyone would know this particular Aerosmith song (or maybe I just thought everyone would take into account most of Aerosmith's songs are about sex). So to clear up any confusion you may feel after reading this piece, here are the lyrics.

Artist: Aerosmith
Album: Nine Lives
Title: Pink


Pink it's my new obsession
Pink it's not even a question
Pink on the lips of your lover, 'cause
Pink is the love you discover
Pink as the bing on your cherry
Pink 'cause you are so very
Pink it's the color of passion
'Cause today it just goes with the fashion
Pink it was love at first sight, yea
Pink when I turn out the light, and
Pink gets me high as a kite
And I think everything is going to be all right
No matter what we do tonight
You could be my flamingo
'Coz pink is the new kinda lingo
Pink like a deco umbrella
Itīs kink - but you donīt ever tell her
Pink it was love at first sight
Pink when I turn out the light
Pink gets me high as a kite
And I think everything is going to be all right
No matter what we do tonight
I want to be your lover
I wanna wrap you in rubber
As pink as the sheets that we lay on
Pink is my favorite crayon, yeah
Pink it was love at first sight
Pink when I turn out the light
Pink it's like red but not quite
And I think everything is going to be all right
No matter what we do tonight
