Discovered at a Wedding - Possibly a Wedding, with Cake

[erushi.livejournal.com]

Posting this tiny little ficlet right now, because I've a number of busy days ahead of me, and I'm not entirely sure I'll be able to finish the longer idea I had for my prompt, nevermind post it, on time.



Possibly a Wedding, with Cake

“A wedding,” he says, because that’s all he can say in the given circumstances, really, when one comes right down to it.

“A wedding,” cackles the reply: pleased, jovial, affirmative. “Invitations, flowers, cake, champagne. White for you, black for me. Cowley to give you away. Rings.”

“I’m not wearin’ – ”

“Of course, that’ll mean I won’t be able to see you for a bit. Groom can’t see the bride before the wedding, you know. ’s bad luck.” A thoughtful pause here. “Not sure if I’ll be able to stand it.”

“You’re daft, mate. You know that, don’t you? You’re an epic ballad of daft, a soap opera of daftness.”

“C’mon, sunshine. It'll be brilliant, it will. Don’t you want the world to know how much I love you?”

He refuses to even dignify that suggestion with a response.

“You did know I was joking, didn’t you?” is the whisper which eventually ghosts across his nape, each word a ticklish puff of warmth. Doyle does his best not to smile as he flattens his palm over the hand flattened over his belly; somewhere beneath his right ear is a broad smile carefully tucked away in the sensitive fold of skin above his neck and beneath his jaw.

“But I was serious about the rings.”

Oh cute! I kind of like the idea of the rings too... wonder where they'd wear them... *g* Thank you!

This made me smile! And of course there'd be cake, with Bodie.

*following vic's footpath* :)
That was sweet and lovely.
And I have my very own ideas, where they might wear the rings ...and that doesn't include fingers or nibbles ...ahem ...better take my coat now....

[erushi.livejournal.com]

Incredibly late reply (ack!), but yes, thank you very kindly for reading!

Glad you found it so. And all I'll say is, well, notice how I never specified what rings they were to be? *g*

[golden-bastet.livejournal.com]

You think you were late replying to this... :D

I really like this, how you play around wit the prompt. (I'd already decided long ago I wanted to write like you when I grow up.) Just found the story, but wanted to thank you all the same - and I'm glad I got to share some of your fic, late or not.
