Written a while ago. Back when they were actually still touring. Oh, the good ol' days. *wipes tear*
Edit: Well, this is the shortest thing I've ever written, but it's still, apparently, too long to be considered a "ficlet." I wasn't allowed to post it. Oops. Haha. So I'll just give the link instead. Seriously, it's short. :)
CONTEMPLATIONS IN FOUR-QUARTER TIME (http://mbnsyncfiction.com/contemplations.htm)
Thank you! I don't focus on Chris often enough. But I enjoyed doing this one. Glad you liked. :)
do you also write the rainbow boys/jc & lance stuff, i'm assuming?
Yes, that would be me. Is it that obvious? Haha. And I seriously need to get back to that one and update it. I am planning to do so way before Bassez Day. Promise. :)
With my mod hat on : not that it's not a lovely story, but it's disqualified for being posted before. This community is meant to be to inspire new fiction.
*takes hat off* It is lovely though, working through the thread of his late nigt thoughts. Thank you for the link!
To Chris Kirkpatrick the word life was defined as doing the most you can possibly do and make as much noise as possible. Silence was not golden or a virtue or anything else anyone tried to pass it on as being. There were things to do, places to go, people to see, people to be seen by, people to annoy, stuff to say. There was no time in his life for laying around. Unless he was hung over and really, that wasn’t quiet either was it. There was always moaning and griping about it to be done. In person, over the phone, it really didn’t matter. As long as it was done. This was Chris, an irresistible force of nature. Or something. It was one of the reasons he was caught by such complete surprise at the moment it happened. More appropriately the moment he realized it happened.
He had been laying there in bed grousing at the alarm clock’s audacity for going off when he was in the middle of the perfect dream. He’d been headed off into a good rolling boil too. Working himself up for a long rant. A hand slid across his abdomen, stopping in the middle of his chest right where his heart was underneath. He remembered taking a breath to continue or to make some snarky crack when the slight ‘shh’ reached his ears. A mouth brushing over his jaw before feeling the soft spike of hair lay against his cheek again.
There it was. The reason calm was calming, that warmth was warm, that reason for shutting up and being still. That perfect moment when all you can do is smile and sigh and lay there. Still.
Yeah, that was perfect... I kinda hate that you can't edit comments... I kinda wanted that one part to be 'that reason for shutting up and being quiet.' with 'still' being the kicker like that song by the commodores or lionel ritchie
"Cause I do love you.................................................................................... still"
Wonderful little story. I like the way Chris is beginning to work himself up and then, stills. Like letting out all air in a deep sigh and closing your eyes.
Not sure if this fits the bill or not, but.....
