ok, is there a picture of this belt buckle someplace?

[msktrnanny.livejournal.com]

yep, let me dig one up.

go here (http://pics.livejournal.com/msktrnanny/pic/000b3d2d). You'll have to zoom in on it, but it's there. Also, it' sa little hard to tell it's in marcasite, but it was.

The first thing you trip over is a red converse sneaker. You grumble to yourself about people who are twenty-five who still act like lazy, overgrown teenagers that don’t pick up after themselves. You move possibly seven steps forward when you trip over the matching shoe. This time you also manage to smack your knee into that ugly as ass table that Nick keeps in the foyer to toss his keys or mail on. You kick the table with your foot and stumble further into the dimly lit hallway toward the living room.

In the entrance way to the living room is a shirt on the floor. You pick it up, planning on tossing it onto the couch. That’s when you notice that the shirt is too small to be one of Nick’s, which to be honest, it sort of reminds you of something one of your sisters would wear. “Maybe Nick is getting lucky,” you think to yourself. If he is, you won’t yell at him too loudly for bailing out on you and not showing up for dinner like he’d promised. Or, you thinking to yourself, smirking, you could pay him back for ditching you by barging in on him and his girl.

There’s a pair of jeans on the other side of the living room that are Nick’s, and a shirt that you know is Nick’s is near the stairs. At the top of the stair is where you find the belt. You stand there for a few moments and stare at its buckle. You’ve seen it before, you know you have. There can’t be many belt buckles in the world with an ugly spider made of marcasite on them. You’re not sure why you keep moving toward Nick’s room, morbid curiosity more than likely. The very idea that he’s hidden something as big as you’re now suspecting, from you of all people, just boggles your mind.

The jeans on the floor outside of Nick’s bedroom are definitely a man’s and for a man who is shorter than Nick. Quietly you move until you can see into the bedroom, all thoughts of paying Nick back by embarrassing him leave you as you take in the scene in the room. Nick is sprawled naked in the middle of his bed, the sheet has been kicked down to the foot of the bed. The sight of Howie, curled on his side, head resting on Nick’s chest, the very way that even in sleep their hands are entwined tells you that this isn’t a new thing. You step back out of the room, shutting the door behind you. You’ll definitely be having a long talk with your brother in the morning.

End.

Ah, that's nice! It's almost like watching a scene in a film, the trail of clothes and clues leading to the revelation, and then the first sight of the POV character's actual face. Kewl story.

Thank you very much. :) I actually had fun writing this one, when I started it I thought it was going to be a PIA, but it wasn't.
