More drabbles
Alright, there's five this time (I think - if I counted right... it's always possible that my math is as off as my spelling is today).
#1 - Eric/Ryan - for alligator138 ; prompt: "spying"
Waiting - PG
Eric knows he shouldn't, but he can't help himself. The surge of jealousy he felt when Ryan asked if he could take Natalia out had taken over his mind. Instead of going home after work, he had driven to Ryan's place, where he sat in his car, down the street with a clear view of the driveway. He loses count of the hours he waits, and since his car is turned off and it's dark outside, there is no way to check without raising suspicion. When Ryan finally does return, he's alone and Eric lets out a sigh of relief.
#2 - Ryan/Flack - for talcat ; prompt: "out"
Outed - PG
Danny, Don and I are at a bar after work when it happens. They're talking about their first loves when suddenly the question gets directed at me.
"It was in seventh grade," I begin, feeling less uncomfortable than I had expected. "We were in math class together; he...." I stop, replaying what I've just said in my head, and yes, I did just out myself to my co-workers. I stare wide-eyed at them, unable to say anything, when I notice a glimmer of interest in Don's eyes and a smile on his lips. Maybe some good will come of this.
#3 - Eric/Ryan, Ryan/Flack - for talcat ; prompt: "jealousy"
Impasse - PG-13
It's a stand off. Don stares at Eric, Eric stares at Don, and Ryan alternates between both of them, unsure of whether to step in or just let them tear the crap out of each other. Eric's jealous of the friendship Ryan and Don have, and Don's jealous of the relationship he thinks Ryan and Eric have. A quick flash of two male dogs fighting over a female comes to his mind, and he shudders at just how close that comparison is to the situation at hand. Ryan then decides to step in; he doesn't want to be their bitch.
#4 - Eric/Ryan - for persikay ; prompt: "wardrobe" (inspired by something alligator138 said on TalkCSI)
Pink - PG
Eric's staring at me, and it's making me uncomfortable. Sure, I'm used to him staring at me, he does on a pretty regular basis, but this is different. He's staring at me and frowning. "What's wrong?"
"How is it that you look good in every color? You're the only man I know that can pull off a pink shirt."
I blink. That's what the frown is about? A shirt? Eric's still frowning, and it's starting to really bother me. "Well, maybe when we get home you'll help me pull it off?" He's staring again, but I'm used to that stare.
#5 - Nick/Greg - for vanna12 ; prompt: "Well, I am an ass man"
Spying - PG-13
I know I shouldn't eavesdrop, but I can't help myself. Nick is recounting what happened in autopsy to Greg, and when I hear "Well I am an ass man" come from my best friends lips, I am intrigued. I heard all about the butt cheek implants from Kepplar, who told me that Nick had been pretty amused by them. Now, I find himself watching as Nick explains to Greg just how cool they were. Greg, for his part, looked pretty amused.
"Nicky," he teased. "Baby, would you like me to get you a pair for your birthday?"
Wait... 'baby'? What?
