Double Drabble
Title: The Roses
Notes: Thanks to catcayman for the beta...you keep me in line!
And the condom goes to: Brian
Four evenings in a row, Brian stopped at the flower stand. The third day, the vendor asked if Brian would like to buy some. Brian hesitated but finally refused.
On the fourth evening, he bought a dozen. As the vendor handed them to Brian he said, "Good luck."
A middle-aged couple waited with Brian at the next corner. "Those are beautiful," one of them remarked. Closing his eyes briefly, Brian handed the flowers to her as the light changed, waving off her surprised protest. He passed another vendor; his mouth tightened, but he didn't slow. He walked alone into the darkness.
Title: The Picnic
Notes: I'm breaking my own condom rule this time, Justin gets one too.
And the condom goes to: Justin
Four afternoons in a row, Justin went to the market. He looked at the fancy cheeses and the gourmet olives, but he didn't buy anything.
He found ways to justify a picnic. Brian Kinney didn't believe in romance, but he had to eat, right? Even if the food was served on the floor and candles were lit, it was still just a meal.
On the fourth afternoon, he bought the cheeses and the olives and the candles and the wine. Closing his eyes briefly, he hoped for the best. Then, he set it up and waited alone in the candlelight.
