[Nathan Barley] Fic: This Wasn't On My List
This Wasn't On My List
Dan/Jones, R, 986 words.
This is for the_reverand, who I made want Santa!Dan. It was supposed to be for the boosh_shorts holiday challenge, but it absolutely refused to be 200 words. It also absolutely refused to be the crack I was expecting and turned into a big angsty/soppy Roadtrip wank. :P Not with any actual wanking, though there is a bit of ( Read more... )

"I do it every year. You sayin' yes yet or've I gotta blow you?"
So great. Just so direct and fun, all at the same time.
"She got real bad pneumonia this one winter. Spent ages in hospital and nearly didn't make it. And I was only like, thirteen, and she's all the family I got, so...." Jones shrugs and Dan can guess the rest. "I never believed in God or nothing, but they had this big glowy plastic nativity scene in the front garden. I used to sit there and talk to the weird little neon Jesus, and I promised him that if she could be okay, I'd do something to make it better for the other kids."
So many people make promises like this and don't keep them, or keep them for a little bit and then forget. And this is such a cool thing for Jones to want to do, plus he gets to put a lot of himself into it. I can see a bunch of kids just loving him for coming into their lives and treating them like normal kids. And Dan's going along with it tell Jones that he loves him. The words don't really have to be said.
Now I'm crying. Thanks.
But I still love you.

Dan does love the everliving crap out of Jones, but it's going to take a lot more years and a couple of broken bones for him to really come to terms with it. ;__;
Jones totally keeps even the really mad promises, always. That's part of why he's awesome. It's sort of a riff on the Kinder egg wagering thing, I guess. I know way too much about a guy who was in a show for five minutes. XD
<3 Thank you so much, my dear. *deposits neatly starched pile of monogrammed hankies just in case*
