Title: Curling
Fandom: Due South/Californication
Pairing: Lew/Turnbull
Length: 164 words
Rating: PG-13
Lew doesn’t understand curling. He’s never actually been into sports that much anyway, but curling, well, watching curling is kind of like watching people play chess, with brooms, on ice.
He sits down to watch it with Turnbull anyway. The first time it’s because he figures he can lay back, look like a slut, and distract Turnbull. It doesn’t work. Turnbull is so into it he actually sits on the edge of his seat. Lew can only stare in bewilderment.
He continues because watching Turnbull watch curling is fun. Turnbull gets so excited he’s always full of energy afterwards; he pounces on Lew every time, all hands and mouth. Lew is very supportive of this.
By the time Canada wins the gold medal in Vancouver, Lew can barely stand, but he figures things like, well, walking are entirely over-rated, unlike curling, for which he has gained a real appreciation, even if he still has no idea what the hell is going on the screen.
