Habits
Title: Habit Breaking
Author: Susan
Rating: G once more! *disgust*
Word count: 99. Woo! Just made it...
Pairings or characters involved: D, Leon.
Notes: Don't ask me where this came from. I was just sitting here, browsing the old drabbles (I'm determined to read them all. So many good ones...), when the first line hit me. Wrote it, carried on with the rest of the drabble. This is why I shouldn't go on the computor... And OOH! It's even on challenge thing! I didn't realise that until now!
And I've been staring at it for what - Ten minutes now?
D sits. Watching. Waiting.
Leon slams open the door. Scowling. Blustering.
D looks up, mismatched eyes giving nothing away.
Leon stops, mid-rant, looks away.
D throws his tea cup across the room, watching impassively as it shatters against a wall.
Leon thumps the door, then scrubs his eyes with the heel of his palm.
D strokes his hair behind an ear with a trembling hand. Leon will not be coming. Not anymore.
Leon runs a hand through his hair, looking round with bewildered frustration. D’s not there. Not anymore.
Isn’t it amazing how hard it is to break a habit?
