Drabble - Work of Art

[ancastar.livejournal.com]

Title: Work of Art
Author: Ancasta
Format: Drabble (100 words exactly)
Circuit/ Pros Lib: Absolutely
Slash/Gen: Slash
Disclaimer: Not mine.
Notes: callistosh65  and I are having a drabble challenge this weekend.  This is my Pros effort.  The first sentence is hers.

 

There were times when Bodie cursed the day he'd joined CI5.

Meagre pay. Lousy hours. Too many spent sitting on his arse, waiting.

 

Like now, tucked in a Hull bedsit, watching the rundown semi-detached opposite. Rain splatted against the windowpane, like one of those modern paintings Ray was always going on about.

 

See how the colour blends, Bodie, on the canvas, not the palette. Beautiful, yeah?

 

Only Hull had no colour. Just grey. Countless shades of it.

 

The door opened. "Oi! Got your sandwich, you lazy sod."

 

Green eyes met his.

 

Beautiful, yeah.

 

Fuck Hull. Bodie's world had colour enough.

Thanks so much!

Romantic!
Ray brings a sandwich - but Bodie is lost in the green of his eyes.
Sigh!

Thanks so much! The golly does have lovely eyes.

Enjoyed this. Would like to see it go further though - can Bodie let Doyle know somehow how he colours Bodie's world? Thank you for sharing it.

Thanks. It might be able to go further, but it would require a sequel. I was trying to stay within the drabble 100 word format. It's tricky! :-)

Whee! Catching up (slowly)! I like this. I've always reckoned they were more alive, more vibrant, when they're around each other--like the rest of the world is in black and white and they're in color. So, heh, this works perfectly for me. Well done! *g*

Glad to hear you liked it. I'd never actually written a drabble until last weekend. I kind of like the exercise. :-)

I love this, really a work of art, too. (Made me smile on a day with a customer that get on my nerves big time.)
Must be beautiful eyes indeed if they could distract Bodie from his sandwich. :) Probably the sarnie brought some colour too, mustard yellow... with Doyle the colour seeped into the room, I can see that! Thank you for that!

Hi, there. Thanks so much for your kind comment. It truly brightened my day, even though it took me ages to tell you so. Sorry for that. Sometimes real life takes away my online time. Which I find miserably unfair. :-)

Absolutely no problem - I'm late with comments often, too, for RL reasons and because commenting in a foreign language takes time. I really love this it has this surprising little twist, it's perfect & complete.
