Pairing: How to put this...unrequited Bob Fossil/Dixon Bainbridge? Oh dear.
Rating: PG
A/N: Fossil finds the perfect gift for Bainbridge. This sounds much more horrifying than it actually is. I think. My second entry for 16.
Bob Fossil has thought about this for a long time. Too long, some might say. Those same people might also say that he really was getting a bit creepy about this whole thing, and by a bit creepy, they meant really effing creepy. But Bob Fossil doesn’t listen to these people, because they are arrogant pricks who don’t understand him.
Finally, he decides on the gift. It’s probably going to be a bit expensive, but if buying him this gift is going to get Fossil the privilege he has wanted for so long, it’ll be completely worth it.
He enters the office with some trepidation. The gift is in a bag he’s holding.
Dixon Bainbridge, Man of Action, glares at him. With dignity and poise. “What?” he says.
“BACON!” Fossil shrieks because he’s nervous. “Also, I got you a present.” He sets the bag on the desk.
Bainbridge examines it, opens it, tears off the wrapping, and reveals a sculpture of a falcon made entirely out of cheese. He gasps. “You know, I’m quite partial to cheese…and falcons.”
“I know,” Fossil says excitedly. “Since you like it, can I…pet your moustache, sir?”
“Absolutely not!” Bainbridge cries.
Oh. Maybe next time.
