One last drabble before bed!

[myrebelcat.livejournal.com]

I'm sure it's not yet midnight somewhere in the world. So I'm grabbing one more prompt from moth2fic, and I'm using it my title, because it's late and I'm too tired to think of anything cleverer.



Overnight

Love, decided Doyle, was an incomprehensible thing.

Bodie wasn’t a particularly attractive sight. He was lying on his back with his mouth open, dribbling onto his chin. Lovely habit, that. When Bodie was tired enough he could soak whole pillows.

And then there was that other thing Bodie did. The reason why Doyle was awake at three in the morning.

“Oi!” Doyle kicked him. “Stop snoring!”

Bodie blinked and smiled drowsily. Rolling over, he threw an arm across Doyle’s chest and fell damply asleep on his shoulder.

Three in the bloody morning, and...

Maybe not as incomprehensible as all that.

~end~

Jeez, Rebel, tired doesn't really show with you, y'know.*g* Another beaut of a drabble. Love all the feeling here, all beautifully unexplained and just *there* in the image of Bodie "damply asleep on his shoulder" - I love that choice of "damply"!

Yay, you did another one! And you write great drabbles when tired. Drooling Bodie had me in stitches. And I bet he does snore like there's not tomorrow. Hach ja, what we endure from those we love...

[empty-mirrors.livejournal.com]

LOL. Sweet.

I love that even when Doyle kicks him awake at 3am Bodie just smiles and snuggles in closer. And Doyle lets him. Yup, must be love all right! Sweet!

Aww bless him. I can, ahem, sympathise with Bodie drooling ;-) Lovely drabble.

Thanks! I was on my way to bed when that image occurred to me, and I had to write just one more. I'm glad you liked it! :-)

[myrebelcat.livejournal.com]

Thank you! Glad you liked it. :-)

I keep staring at your icon... It's, erm, hypnotizing.

I began this drabble highly amused by the idea of them being incompatible in bed, and then Doyle insisted it was all right, regardless. Which gave me a much better ending than, "I can't sleep with you, Bodie. You snore." ;-)

Thanks!

That's because I'm usually sleep deprived, for one reason or another. Kids, dog, cats, etc... No one knows the well-rested me!

That's the lovely thing about drabbles - the word restriction forces you to write between the lines, and say things without coming right out and saying them. And yeah, only someone in love would put up with having his shoulder drooled on. ;-)

I love that you've managed to take a not terribly romantic image and make it incredibly sweet. Lovely.

[myrebelcat.livejournal.com]

Well, actually, when I'm particularly overtired I drool in my sleep, too. But luckily for my husband I'm not an octopus at night, I stay put on my own pillow.

Thank you! :-)

[myrebelcat.livejournal.com]

Thank you! :-)

I'm not a big fan of grand romance, I much prefer the real ordinary ways people show they love each other. A little drool on the pillow makes me feel much mushier than the moon and stars in his eyes ever will.

[schnuffi.livejournal.com]

One can always rely on Doyle to "make" it alright *G*

And that icon andreathelion made for me after we've been watching Rogue *snicker*

[faramir-boromir.livejournal.com]

That's love, innit? When you love somebody in spite of the drool or whatever. Thanks for giving us Doyle's take on a distinctly-unbeautiful-Bodie.

I'm with you on the grand romance. And I think the reason I love this piece so very much is that it totally hit home. I knew my guy was the One when he fell asleep and drooled on my shoulder and I thought it was cute.

[myrebelcat.livejournal.com]

Even Bodie can't be beautiful all the time, eh? ;-)

I'm glad you liked my drabble!

[solosundance.livejournal.com]

When Bodie was tired enough he could soak whole pillows .... oh bless. Bodie's definitely the drooler in this partnership, just like Starsky is in the other one. Heh!

[crimson-37.livejournal.com]

I love that no matter how disgusting or irritating Bodie is Doyle loves him never the less. Really great, with none of the slushiness. :)

Thank you!

[myrebelcat.livejournal.com]

You're welcome! There's nothing slushy about true love.

[sc-fossil.livejournal.com]

Ain't love grand? Doyle loves Bodie no matter what. Now that is true love. Thank you, Rebel.

[myrebelcat.livejournal.com]

It's something about the unselfconscious ones... It's just so tempting to make them drool in their sleep. ;-)

[myrebelcat.livejournal.com]

You're welcome! I had a lot of fun imagining a sleeping Bodie curled up around Ray. :-)

[moth2fic.livejournal.com]

Mmmmmm. Must be love!

[myrebelcat.livejournal.com]

Yeah... :-)

Thanks!

Wonderful drabbling - loved each and every one of them! Thank you so much for sharing! :)

[myrebelcat.livejournal.com]

Oh, thank you very much! It's lovely to get surprise feedback on these drabbles.
