Press

He could press close against Doyle all day long. Feel the heat of him, the lightning-flash energy of him rushing from pulse to pulse, feel his chest rising as he stared at the map and thought and schemed.

Imagine all that warmth and movement his, his against pale sheets, his in the dim night light, against the soft slow thrum of the sleeping city. And Doyle would lose his frown, his thoughts, lose everything except Bodie, lying there together.

He could press close against Doyle all day long.

But he wouldn't.

I offered drabbles for icons last night, and this is the first one. Yeay writing, even if it is "just" drabbles!

Oh, that's nice! It has that bittersweet twist, doesn't it? He could do this, but he wouldn't. Ooh. Thank you! That's delightful. I really like the idea, too, of Doyle losing everything but the truth of being with Bodie. ::sigh::

Cheers!

And yay for kick-starting writing!

I seem to be in a sort of bittersweet place today... not sure the other icons are going to get much better! Glad you liked it though, and yeay for writing again! I just want words today...

That was a bit sad! Poor Bodie. He should! Thanks.

He should, shouldn't he! *sniffs sadly for Bodie*... *g*

Nothing 'just' about your drabbles at all, mate. They are wonderful snips of the lads. Love the bittersweet nature the last line gives this one.

Sigh! Already the last/the first?
I promise - from now on I will go forwards.

That were lovely - running to see the time - 70 minutes!
Thank you!

Lol - the first/last indeed! Although I still have half a dozen more to write for yesterday's requests - but they'll have to come tomorrow... *g*

Thank you! Hope it was worth your 70 minutes!

If that wasn't worth it...

And you never know if the next day will be also "a good day to write"! ;-)

(Maybe tomorrow you would have done other things with my Felix...)

Lol - that's true... Tuesday was a good day to write! Shall cross my fingers for more days like that - writing-wise, at least... *g*

Very nice, very sensual, very Doyle - I like the imagery of pale sheets, dim night, soft thrum of sleeping city - and the fact that he could stay there all day, but he wouldn't. Perfect!

Ah, thank you! *vbg*

Ah, finally some time to enjoy the drabble meme. I love the 2nd paragraph. I just wish he would. The self denial hurts. Guess we have to rely on Doyle to lean back first then.

Ha - excellent idea! Maybe Doyle will lean back first! *g*
