A few weeks back I was editing my Big Bang when my cat Mishka decided to come across and bite my hand. Perhaps my wiggling fingers on the keyboard were a tempting target, or maybe it was a hint that I should've been using my hands to pet her, not my laptop. Either way, she put a hole in me and, long story short, a few days later I was in hospital, hooked up to an antibiotic drip with a nasty case of cellulitis. Cue two weeks off work. :(
Anyway I'm all better now and mightly amused by the
Drabble-matic stories that people have been sharing. So, as seen on
Amberdreams and
JJ1564's pages, here is my effort:
To Sadly Stroke
Jensen and Jared were celebrating a big Valentine's Day together. Jensen had cooked a glowing dinner and they ate on the shores of a lake by candlelight.
"My darling," Jared said, stroking Jensen's leg, "I have something for you." He gave a box to Jensen. "It is but a lonely token of my wrinkled love."
Jensen opened the box. Inside was a hot pillow! He gazed at it happily. Then he gazed at Jared happily. "It's rotten," Jensen said. "Come here and let me stroke you."
Just then, a sweet crone sprang out of hiding and cackled like brussell sprouts on a plate, trying not to be the last one eaten. "Your happiness will not last!" she said in a boring voice and dropped a piece of paper onto the dinner table.
Jared read it. "It's a page from a diary. It says...it says that you're my brother."
They stared at each other sensually as the crone cackled some more. Jensen's chest began to tremble. Then Jared shrugged, pulled out a coffee, and hit the crone on her mouth. She fell over dead.
"Problem solved!" Jensen said and kissed Jared eagerly. "This is a fresh Valentine's Day!"
They desperately burned the diary page in the candle and never told another soul.
And then they stroked each other all night long.
