'Discovered Out Of Context' Challenge

[hambelandjemima.livejournal.com]

Just a dribbly drabble, so no need for a cut. Written for the DOOC challenge, part two. The quote I used is:

Are you drinking because he nearly died or because he didn't? From I, Claudius

- - - - - 

So Near, Yet So Far
 

His hand shakes as he lifts the tumbler to his mouth, the amber liquid sliding smoothly down his parched throat. It burns, but not as much as the craving that constantly burns within him, this need for his partner that simmers and bubbles; always just out of reach, because that’s where he keeps it.

 

He picks up the second glass. He always pours two drinks, because Bodie’s always here. Just because he’s in hospital doesn’t make him any less near.

 

They’ll be the death of each other. He knows it.

 

But they’ll go together, so it won’t matter at all.
