Reflections, Jack/Liz, spiked hair, PG western_skies February 16 2009, 09:50:25 UTC

They were running late for the play, and it was actually Jack’s fault for once. He’d been in a fussy sort of mood all evening, fooling with his hair in the mirror long after she’d finished with hers, tilting his head from side to side, and frowning severely at his reflection as if he was taking a phone call from his mother. Liz watched him from bathroom doorway, crunching on cheese-curls (he always kept a stash at his apartment these days), and looking at the ripple of his strong shoulders under his dress shirt and the unhappy way his fingers sifted through his short locks. Agitated, blunt movements to spike it up in the usual way in the front, followed almost immediately by a dissatisfied sigh and impatient sweeps with his palms to smooth it down again into what Liz called a “flattened hayfield” look, which was oddly adorable in its distress. Then came another irritated sigh, a sharp tugging motion with one hand, and the process would start all over again ( ... )

That was great! Very cute, and I liked how Liz didn't have to spell everything out for Jack. At the same time, the conversation still had that nice banter-y quality.

Aww, this is perfect.

This was so cute! I loved the line, "She had discovered that, with she and Jack, it was more about what they didn’t have to say." Aww.

Great job! I actually laughed out loud in a couple spots, one of which is the following:

“You know, Lemon, it’s that sort of mannish declaration that prompts people like that boy at the Starbucks counter to address you as ‘Sir’." HAHAHA.

But my favorite part is the unspoken sentiment from Liz to Jack about his appearance, and then the knowledge that a lot of their communication is best when it's left as just that - unspoken.

Very nice drabble! :)
