Festering (Get Backers)

Feb 16, 2005 06:41

I have GOT to stop doing this. Writing fics about series I haven't read/seen, that is. I've done it twice with Full Metal Alchemist, and now... I was talking to aguynamedgoo today, and he was ranting about the apparently popular BanxHimiko pairing in Get Backers fandom. Now, I don't know a whole lot about the two of them, but I do know that Ban killed Himiko's brother (for good reason) and hasn't explained to her why. Himiko adored her brother. I would think that would get between the two of them having any sort of relationship, unless it was...

They never talked about it.

Sometimes he felt like it was festering in the middle of their living room, dropping oozing chunks onto the rug. They both stepped over them, rather than cleaning them up.

She fucked him, arching up, dark hair shivering across her cheeks as she moved. They cuddled close in the aftermath, but she pulled away from him after she fell asleep, curling on her side like a child. It rotted between them then, as he lay insomniac in the gray dawnlight. She never mentioned it, so he never brought it up, because if they didn’t talk about it, they could pretend it didn’t exist.

But sometimes it smelled.
