NDrabble : Shoulder to Shoulder

[callistosh65.livejournal.com]

With apologies to HG. I'm rereading Strange Days Indeed for the umpteenth time and this mutated from a moment in that. It's also stretched and battered into shape from smth else I attempted to write long ago.

My first official drabble in Pros



Shoulder to Shoulder

They stood, shoulder to bare shoulder at the kitchen doorway. Doyle chewed his lip. Bodie noticed.

"What?"

"Nothing."

"Come on, sunshine. Spill."

Bodie's indulgent tone made Doyle smile. He studied their bare feet on the lino.

"It's nothing... y'know, lovey-dovey."

"Be still my heart, then."

Doyle turned enough to cuff him. "Oi! I come off an undercover where I've been stuck with a bunch of bran-eating weirdos for five days, and all you've got in for me are eggs, and salt and vinegar crisps!"

"Bought you soft loo roll, what more do you want?"

Doyle bit the nearest shoulder.

Oh, more kitchen fic! And this one's particularly tasty. ;-) I especially adore your last line! The first thought that popped into my head on reading that was, "Go get 'im, Doyle!"

[callistosh65.livejournal.com]

Thanks - I loved the idea of them bare in the kitchen!

[probodie.livejournal.com]

ROFL! Eggs and salt and vinegar crisps!!! I'd be pissed off too.

Thanks for sharing.

Thanks - God love Bodie and his food choices, right?!

Love the 'be still my heart' line *g* Very nice, thanks!

[callistosh65.livejournal.com]

Thank you:-))

Yea, Sheila! This was great. "Doyle bit the nearest shoulder." Love that line. Thank you.

And I just reread Strange Days Indeed on my plane trip. I love that zine. Good choice!

[callistosh65.livejournal.com]

I *love* this zine, it's my favourite HG story.

[callistosh65.livejournal.com]

Thanks, Kat, gotta get an an oral fixation in there somewhere..*g*

[byslantedlight.livejournal.com]

Heeee! Excellent!

[callistosh65.livejournal.com]

Thanks - always happy to make you 'heee!'

[heliophile-oxon.livejournal.com]

"Be still my heart, then" - can just hear him saying that - and bit the nearest shoulder, oh yes! (I don't think he bit it too hard - just hard enough ...)

[callistosh65.livejournal.com]

Of course, a very gentle, slooow bite..*g*

[schnuffi.livejournal.com]

*snicker* That's great! Poor Ray - if I'd have the choice between Bodie's shoulder and eggs, salt and vinegar crisps I'd take the shoulder too. I so love those silly convos between them.

[callistosh65.livejournal.com]

Thanks - the silly convos are the best bits sometimes. All that love hidden in discussions on bog rolls and crisps.*g*

[schnuffi.livejournal.com]

Exactly! It's what makes them and their relationship so unique.

Doyle chewed his lip. Bodie noticed.
Fantastic - you have them in six words! That's what I call a drabble *g*
And soft bog roll .... ahahaha!

[callistosh65.livejournal.com]

Thanks! See? Bodie's not as thoughtless as Doyle thinks he is, five days of bran and I'd give importance to a soft loo roll, too.*g*

[empty-mirrors.livejournal.com]

LMAO oh yes. Bodie has his priorities right.

[callistosh65.livejournal.com]

'Course he does! A soft loo roll is definitely a good priority in Doyle's situation.*g*

[nakeisha.livejournal.com]

*Chuckles.

Nicely done.

[callistosh65.livejournal.com]

Thank you - I'm glad it made you smile!

"Bought you soft loo roll, what more do you want?"

LOL... this line had me laughing out loud. And so typical of Doyle not being able to keep to his dissatisfaction with Bodie's choice in menu to himself.

Really great! Thanks so much for sharing this.
I'd go for those shoulders to Doyle. *g*

[callistosh65.livejournal.com]

Thanks - I'm glad you giggled at the loo roll. Rather an appropriate priority actually, if Doyle's been eating bran for five days.*g*

And yeah, you and me both for those shoulders..

[moth2fic.livejournal.com]

Soft loo roll! Hee!
Yeah, a lot of people still bought the hard kind back in those days! What a way to show your love!

[callistosh65.livejournal.com]

a lot of people still bought the hard kind back in those days! I know, my mother used to act as if soft loo roll was an extravagance..See? Bodie can be thoughtful..*g*
