Ready to Board (Drabble #8)
Posted: Fri Sep 19, 2003 1:54 am
This hit me last night as I was lying in bed waiting for my brain to turn off and allow sleep to finally take over.
Title: Ready to board?
Word Count: 158 (I really tried, I did, but if I took anything else out, it'd suck worse. Don't hate me!!)
Rating: G
Pairing: 1+R
?So you going to go for it??
Heero stared at the table, then the paper in his hand. Making the wrong decision would cost him everything. However, taking this chance would mean beating Zechs. Even so, he didn?t want to look stupid in front of Relena who currently looked lovely caressing her swollen belly.
Silence surrounded him, broken intermittently by various actions from Duo, Wufei, and Quatre. Relena hummed softly. Trowa and Zechs remained silent, both patient as they awaited the decision.
Finally Heero cleared his throat.
?Professor Plum in the conservatory with the lead pipe.?
All eyes transfixed on the miniature manila envelope as Heero studied the three cards before replacing them back inside.
?Well?? Duo asked.
?The game is over,? Heero stated. ?For me.?
Relena smiled and resumed her humming and the caressing of her belly. Only she and Trowa did not seem put off by Heero?s loss. It was his first board game after all.
I also thought about making a longer version of this but I don't know if it'd be worth it. So there ya go, the short and sweet version. *shakes head* I'm losing my touch. I WICKED I tell you! WICKED!! I love ANGST!! And here I am being all sweet and fluffy-ish.
