Just had to check what happened in the shower - sorry I didn't check properly for injuries, but it turned out to be superficial and they wanted to get into the shower and ...

Water’s hot. Bodie’s eyes are shut, shampoo sluicing down his chest and belly and … legs. He doesn’t even open his eyes when Doyle steps in with him, right up against him, wraps his arms around him and shakes him gently in a pantomime of exasperation. “You idiot.” Lays his head against Bodie’s cheek, forehead resting on Bodie’s shoulder. “You’re not made of bloody Kevlar either, you know.” He turns towards that beautiful mouth, grazes across bruise-darkened skin and just before their lips meet he stops – just for a second – to tell him in a whisper, “You stupid, stupid bastard.”

ETA that's my lot - I actually got tonight's RL work finished in spite of everything! Off to join the party down in the garden now ... bonfire's just  going nicely ....

See how the word bastard can totally mean somthing else when a good writer wants it to?? Love where you take this.

[heliophile-oxon.livejournal.com]

I love it when they insult each other and you know they love each other really - was hoping that might peek through! Thank you!

[myrebelcat.livejournal.com]

Oh, I'm glad you decided to let us peek in on their shower activities!

[heliophile-oxon.livejournal.com]

Couldn't resist - I hope they're enjoying themselves - the drabbling has certainly been fun! Thanks for commenting!

[schnuffi.livejournal.com]

Yay, thanks for the sequel! I sums them up quite well.

[heliophile-oxon.livejournal.com]

Thanks! They seem to have worked things out between them, I guess :)

[sc-fossil.livejournal.com]

That is so nice! Thanks for giving me a bit more to enjoy.

[heliophile-oxon.livejournal.com]

Glad you like! Well as long as the lads are enjoying themselves ...

As much as I love these drabbles of yours I'm sort of sorry that they haven't been incorporated in a lovely long story (well, you know what I'm like...*g*). Although there's nothing stopping you doing that I suppose, is there? hint, hint...

Off to join the party down in the garden now ... bonfire's just going nicely ....

Chuck a baked spud in for me, will ya? Or a couple of bangers would go down very nicely...

[heliophile-oxon.livejournal.com]

A lovely long story? Not too much chance of that for a while, much as I would love to. I think the bug has definitely bitten me, though! Probably take ages and ages, knowing me :(

I was too late for the sausages, but I snagged some popcorn - it was nice to sit out by the fire, and not cold at all (there's always at least one pyromaniac on these occasions, isn't there, who never stops putting more bits of wood on!).

Bad timing on your part then - too busy writing drabbles, y'see? popcorn - yuk! Can't stand the stuff...

Sounds like a nice way to spend your evening, anyway!

[byslantedlight.livejournal.com]

Ohhhh... love the lads in the shower, love the bit of h/c, love the gentle affection of it all... Thank you! (And enjoy your barbie... *g*)

[heliophile-oxon.livejournal.com]

Yeah, Doyle doesn't want his Bodie damaged but he's so glad to have him more or less in once piece that he can't be too angry this time. (Missed the sausages :( - had to make do with popcorn. But the music and fire were nice - love looking at the fire at night).

[miwahni.livejournal.com]

Love, exasperation and a dose of fright thrown in - all expressed beautifully. I think of all the drabbles, this is my favourite so far.

[heliophile-oxon.livejournal.com]

Thank you so much! Loving each other with insults seems about right for them, I think. That's such a lovely comment - I'm so glad you liked it!

[empty-mirrors.livejournal.com]

Them to tee. So much love said so rudely.

[heliophile-oxon.livejournal.com]

Yes, I'm sure they would be rude to each other like that (actually probably a lot more so)! But they love each other so very much - I think I sometimes tend to get a bit mushy over them, really, but that's OK as long as they never get mushy over each other! Love and insults, that's the way to go. Thanks so much for commenting!

[crimson-37.livejournal.com]

Ah, such affection. So I didn't get a Bodie in his vest, but hey, I'm not complaining. This was a such lovely moment that you shared with us. Thank you.

I'm so glad you got your Rl work finished and I hope you enjoyed your party!

[heliophile-oxon.livejournal.com]

I'll try and involve vests another time! They just seemed in a hurry to get naked together in the shower for some reason, I can't imagine why ...

It was the nicest way to be distracted from RL work, but I was relieved to get it finished and emailed off at last! I missed all the sausages, but fortunately there was still popcorn, music and a bonfire to flop exhausted by.

Thanks for commenting! Love your icon, btw.

[crimson-37.livejournal.com]

I'll look forward to that. All that white soft cotton stretched beautifully over that broad chest,those artfully chisled shoulders, that long strong neck, wonderfully exposed and vulnerable to Doyle's tender mercies... ooh sorry, got carried away. Anyone would think I had a thing about it...lol

So sorry you missed your sausages I hope you had something bit more substantial than popcorn for your dinner.

My icon? Why thank you. I've had it for ages but not used it. It felt a little too much like self promotion.

[moth2fic.livejournal.com]

You lit a few bonfires elsewhere!! Hot!

[heliophile-oxon.livejournal.com]

Wow, thank you so much! They just wanted to get into the shower together, and who am I to gainsay them?

Thanks for commenting!

[magnifica7.livejournal.com]

I like this. So much. :)

[heliophile-oxon.livejournal.com]

Thank you! I'm glad you liked it, and I appreciate your taking a moment to stop by and let me know.

You may not want to know this - or you may already - but just on the off-chance I thought I'd mention that this drabble is actually the third of a three-parter (it was all part of the grand dialj 2-day drabble challenge - there were drabbles flying everywhere!). The whole sequence is here http://www.thecircuitarchive.com/tca/archive/19/stupidbastard.html
(as I say, I'm not assuming you actually want to know this! it's just in case)

A lot of everybody's dialj 2-day challenge drabbles are on the archive, but I don't know which I'm afraid.

I know and I read/loved all three parts! :)

Reading all those little masterpieces was fun. I have a definite weakness for drabbles, so this was the perfect challenge for to check out. (I'm always behind with my reading. *sigh* I hope my next feedback will be more timely.)

Keep up the great work (and have fun writing!) :)
