Drabble prompt: Reciprocal

[solosundance.livejournal.com]

“I’m here,” said Bodie’s voice.

After many silent hours, the whisper through the icy airwaves was an unexpected gift.

Belly-down on concrete, Doyle shut his eyes against the cold and wished he could crawl to him. Supposing neither of them died tonight in this dense, black landscape there might be a chance to show he had understood.

He tugged the handset close so it almost touched his lips, needing to speak to Bodie’s inner ear. If he didn’t understand, he might not be careful enough. Doyle’s voice was strangled by desire to find the right word.

“Likewise,” he said.

Heh-heh, knew you'd do one eventually..*g* And thank God you did because this is lump-in-the-throat brilliant. The lads in danger and reaching out to each other - I love the image of Doyle face down on the concrete strangled by desire to find the right word. to make Bodie careful. And he finds it.

"eventually" is the operative word actually *g* dragged out of me drip by flipping drop this was! I'm thrilled by the quality and number of the drabbles that have been produced today, it's been fab. My brain is a sad blob now though ... think a small sniffter might get me going again?

Oh... I want reassurance that everything ends right! It has to.

Terrific, scary atmosphere. I like the way you created a sense of real cold. Thanks!

funny isn't it ... I was thinking this had quite an upbeat ending ... gah, I must be even gloomier than I thought! I'm glad you felt the cold, that was what I had in mind. And I'm so impressed by the number and quality of what you've posted today. Very inspirational.

Beautiful. It's all mutual, and Ray finding the way to tell Bodie so much with just a word.

[solosundance.livejournal.com]

Thanks, I wanted their words to be very simple, partly because they were in a situation where they couldn't gab, and partly to show that they just don't *need* to, it's all understood.

Very emotional and tense. I liked the images you conveyed with the simple words. Thanks.

[empty-mirrors.livejournal.com]

JUst those few words passed between them and the world's alright. This was really something. You really conjured up the gritty concrete the cold dark night for me. Well done and thank you.

Thanks for sharing !
