Drabble: I'll Drink It By Myself (buzz)

[talkingtothesky]

Sam’s flat seems colder now, Hunt’s presence no longer filling up the dingy corners with inventive swears and muttered endearments. Sam doesn’t miss him, still sees him at work, but he does regret calling this whole thing off for the sake of Gene’s marriage. His conscience ought to go to hell if this is just a bloody fantasy.

All he’s got to warm the empty places is a bottle Gene brought round once which they somehow never got to drink together. Sam silently raises a toast to him and waits for the buzz to settle in, numbing the dull ache.

That's hardly a worthy substitute! But I have the feeling his conscience WILL go to hell in the very near future.

No, it isn't, and I hope so! Thanks. :)

“You OK, mon?”

Sam looked up to find Nelson giving him that particularly disquieting look of empathy that Sam had come to both appreciate and resent. Nelson knew things, but he wasn’t talking.

“How much have I had to drink tonight?”

Nelson shrugged. “One is too many and a thousand’s never enough.”

The words sounded familiar. Like something out of AA.

If anyone in this nightmarish existence needed twelve steps, it sure as hell wasn’t him. Or was it?

A new option. Insanity, coma, time-travel or acute alcoholism. He’d have to think about that.

But first he needed another drink.

Creative, profound, and disquieting.

He does drink an awful lot... He should watch out or he'll drink himself into another coma... "Let's go deeper!" -bad Inception joke-
Interesting drabble =P

Drabble: The Morning After

[debl_ns]

Sam felt pressure on his leg and realized it was, in fact, another leg. The additional body heat was pleasant after sleeping alone for so many nights on the single bed. Soft hair brushed his cheek, and he opened his eyes. Blankets were tossed about wild and free like waves on the North Sea.

“Regrets?” Sam asked.

Eyes the colour of the sky at dawn smiled into his. “Why should I? It was right last night and it still is.”

“There's nothing egoistic about you.” Sam grinned.

Gene frowned. “Ecclesias-what?”

He truly was home, Sam thought.
