Happiness

The sun shone warm on the flat white paving stones, soaked into Bodie's bones, his blood, his dreams. He woke slowly, revelling in it, in the fact that there was no one shooting at them, no one shouting for them, and there was another twelve days of just the same to come. He stretched lazily, feeling sleepy, cat-like.

Beside him Doyle dozed on his stomach, face half buried in the angle of his arms, and Bodie's gaze wandered across his shoulders, down the line of his tanning back, and even further.

Holiday, and cream of his very own.

He smiled.

Oh heeee! It could read as if Doyle was dozing on Bodie's tummy, and oh he should have been if I'd thought of it! But I didn't - I meant that he was lying face-down... prone... on his own tummy... *headdesk*

I like your version though! *g*

God, yeah, sorry....you wrote 'beside him' - how could I have missed that? Freudian, I'll be bound (bound? even more Freudian..)

Now we're being treated to a bit of romance, I see. How sweet is that? Although I suppose you could say they're just mates. *g* Thanks!

Lol - well, I certainly didn't mean to imply that they were "just mates"... *g* And yeah - romance is what it's all about... of course I see them dying tragically together as romantic too, but hey ho! *vbg*

Oh, I'm so glad you let my cat alive!

And how sweet and romantic and cat-like you can be!
"...He stretched lazily, feeling sleepy..."
Thank you!
I love it!

Oooooooh, nice description of Doyle's backside. No wonder Bodie enjoys their holiday so much. Also like it that Bodie does the cat-like stretch for once.

Lol! And Bodie is cat-like sometimes - a big, solid and sleek, lazy cat who's enjoying his world... *vbg*
