I've just found this in a file, marked 2011, and can't seem to find it posted anywhere, so just for the sake of completion... *g*

Angel Hair
by Slantedlight

There are some names that Doyle doesn’t mind – Sherlock, Batman, even Raymundo – and some that are guaranteed to make his eyes flash. Goldilocks was pretty good, and the Bionic Golly, but Bodie’s latest soubriquet will do it every time.

Angel-hair.

“Get us another pint, Angel-hair,” he’ll say, reaching out to ruffle Doyle’s crop of curls, or “You finished that report yet, Angel-hair?” wrapping both hands around Doyle’s head in happy emphasis.

Yeah, it winds Doyle up something chronic, a good laugh.

It doesn’t have anything to do with being able to touch Doyle like that in public. Nothing at all.

It's funny because if I read that anywhere else, particularly between the average couple, I'd probably think 'yuk' but because it's them I love it. (Could just see Bodie doing that as well!) Glad you found it, thank you!

Lol - I must admit to frowning slightly when I started to read it myself, but of course it's Bodie teasing and taunting for the joy of it rather than being soppy, so I decided it was post-able... *g*

OH silly me! I hadn't seen that image when I was typing my first comment! Great stuff.

Hee — thank you! I'm no graphic artist, but I couldn't resist making the pic a bit more appropriate to the drabble. Although Doyle should really be frowning . *g*
