I Can't Write Drabbles Properly. :-(
It's sad but true. They get too long and plot-y. And I connect them to each other. So, I present what could be the beginning of a story of connected drabbles, but could also be something I forget about for a few years and come back to when none of you are interested anymore.
So, I present:
Title: The Start of Something New
Pairing: George/Mitchell (but not yet)
Rating: PG? so far anyway.
Summary: Drabbles based on one word beginning with each letter of the alphabet. Letters A-C.
Absence - n the state of not being present; the time of this; a lack; inattention.
George’s transformation night meant date night for Mitchell. Which in turn meant Annie was left alone in the house. Which again meant that as Mitchell had run down his battery playing waltzes on his music player on his phone, Annie was the only one able to answer the house phone when George called the next morning.
Annie had grown close to both men, as close as she was to the house, they were now part of her support system, so she easily appeared next to the bed Mitchell was lying in with a nameless (but, thankfully still living) girl.
And they drove down to pick up George and the seventeen year old girl whose ankle he had bitten, about three second before he started changing back.
Belong - vi to have a proper place; to be related (to); (with to) to be a member; to be owned.
“Of course you can stay here.” Mitchell’s voice seemed to take on an unnatural vibrancy whenever he knew he was doing something to annoy George.
“Thanks. Where?”
“You can take George’s room.” Smiled Mitchell.
“What?”
“Well, it’s your fault. If it was me who had turned a girl and she had no-where to stay which was why she had been wondering around the woods in the middle of the night in the first place, she could sleep in my room.” Mitchell shrugged and took a bite of toast. Where he had found toast George did not know.
“Yes, but when you turn a girl, she sleeps with you first, so yes, she would sleep in your bed, but you would sleep there too.”
“Technicalities.” Mitchell turned back to the girl. “Welcome.”
Charm - n an alluring quality, fascination; a magic verse or formula; something though to possess occult power; an object bringing luck; a trinket on a bracelet. *vt to delight, captivate; to influence as if by magic.
“George, shove over.”
“Look, it’s not my fault you can manage to sleep in a bed which is quite frankly, narrower than me, I mean, don’t you move in your sleep?”
“Not much.”
“Hmph.”
“George, seriously, I’m cold and squashed with you hogging everything. I need a duvet and a mattress.”
“This is your fault anyway, you’re lucky I didn’t just decide for you that you wouldn’t be sleeping in your bed anymore and you would have to sleep on the sofa. Be thankful.”
“Charming.”
“I like to think of myself as a very charismatic person.”
“You couldn’t charm your way out of a paper bag.”
“I don’t know, I charmed my way into a vampire’s bed didn’t I? They’re notoriously nice places or so I had heard. Such lies people can tell you.”
“People do not charm their way into vampire’s beds. Vampire’s charm people there so that they can kill them. Surely this is the most common rumour going around about vampires?”
“I don’t know. My English Literature teacher told me that Dracula was a book about the sexual empowerment of women.”
“It was also a book about killing people.”
“And the Twilight series made getting into the vampire’s bed an ultimate goal for, like, four hundred pages.”
“And then she was almost killed and had a demon spawn growing in her belly. And I think we can assume from the main characters all out obsession with the vampire that all was not well in her brain.”
“You’re always telling me how things aren’t right in my brain.”
“That is true. So, are you happy to be here, in my bed? Been planning how to get here?”
“I would honestly rather be in my own. If there wasn’t a girl many years younger than me in it already.”
“Are you sure? You can tell me if you have an all consuming love for me if you like. I will help you by taking you so roughly it leaves bruises and a demon spawn in your belly -”
“I don’t even know how this conversation started -”
“ -You will then be filled with a female sexual empowerment.”
“ - But it must end. Now. Good night Mitchell.”
So, I present:
