Drabble: Overnight

[callistosh65.livejournal.com]

Prompt word: Overnight

He blames adrenaline for the first time, alcohol for the second, and gratitude for the third when he slams into Bodie's injured arms before the locks have even clicked.

And it is three. Doyle has no idea who the fuck Bodie thinks he's kidding by pretending not to be sure.

Besides, if Mr Oh-So Casual can't bloody count, then how come he wakes up after the fourth time with his arms and mouth full of a Bodie who hasn't left, and whose grip on his arms will bruise by morning?

Overnight they've gone and done it, then. Partners to partners.

Oh this is gorgeous, I loved that Bodie didnt let go of him.

[callistosh65.livejournal.com]

Thanks - yup, wanted Bodie to say it all in actions rather than words.

Gods, I love that image. Sometimes it's hard to decide who needs whom the most but in the end I think they draw even. Partners indeed - come hell or high water, through hell and back. Love it!

[callistosh65.livejournal.com]

Thank you! I think they draw even too, even though they can be very different in how they show that need.

... who hasn't left. And I bet he can count quite well, too, though he doesn't want to admit it. I love that he admits it in action not words - very appropriate. In bed together - just where they should be!

[callistosh65.livejournal.com]

Thanks - I could just imagine Bodie pretending to be casual about it all and not fooling Doyle for one bloody second!

Mr. Oh-So-Casual! I love that! This one is great. They've crossed the line, eh? Cool.

[callistosh65.livejournal.com]

They sure have - and I wanted to make that line about the feelings, the caring, etc more than about the sex itself. ( And just for you, Kat, a different kind of icon:))

[sc-fossil.livejournal.com]

Oh, pretty boys! And it's canon. LOL!

Oh they've gone and done it .. and Ray might be a bit cross and Bodie might be a bit casual, but they are *so* bound together now. I love how Ray slams into Bodie's injured arms before the locks have even clicked" .. it just sums up the love and sex and tenderness and violence. They are lovely .. *grins like a ninny*

[callistosh65.livejournal.com]

I love how there can be tenderness, need, casual fakery, and a hard edge to them at times, but you still want to love and squeeze 'em to death, and have them no place but with each other.

Yay! I love the idea of Bodie insisting he can't be sure how often they've done it and Ray knowing beyond a doubt that he's lying. I like how nothing's said, but it's all understood in the end, regardless.

[callistosh65.livejournal.com]

I love how Doyle sees through Bodie's exterior, and lets him get away with it to a certain point. And thanks for picking up on 'nothing is said but it's all understood'. Actions speak louder than words with these two!

[miwahni.livejournal.com]

That's just lovely. Bodie, giving himself away just by his continued presence, and Doyle understanding, letting Bodie get away with things unstated.

[callistosh65.livejournal.com]

Yeah, sentimental marshamallow underneath is our Bodie really. And I like playing around with the idea that Doyle 'knows' and just lets him get away with being Bodie. Thanks, I'm really glad you got what I was going for here.

[empty-mirrors.livejournal.com]

Love this. Just... yes.

[callistosh65.livejournal.com]

Life in a word, eh? And 'yes' is a very satisfying one for me, so thank you.

[crimson-37.livejournal.com]

Well, one day it had to sink in, didn't it? This was lovely. Thank you and thanks for sharing. :)

[callistosh65.livejournal.com]

Thank s - I'm glad it worked for you. And the lads always get there eventually.*g*

[moth2fic.livejournal.com]

'Overnight they've gone and done it, then.' Love that line!

[callistosh65.livejournal.com]

Thank you. Just seemed like quite a Doyle-way to put it.*g*

[magnifica7.livejournal.com]

Thank you for sharing your drabbles - I have a weakness for this artform and you certainly delivered! :)

[callistosh65.livejournal.com]

Thank you, you're very welcome. I too like the drabble form, I just haven't done so many of them in Pros. But this challenge was terrfic fun and we all went a little nuts in terms of sheer quantity of the things!
