Drabble written for the [livejournal.com profile] 1_million_words word of the day prompt: Blue. Follows on from A time to die.

Dressing to impress

Danny checks himself in the mirror one last time, like he does every day. Pants crisply pressed; loafers freshly shone; shirt smartly buttoned... yesterday he wore the yellow shirt, the butter-soft color fresh to the eye, but today it's the blue shirt, bright as a piece of Hawaiian sky made cloth. It brings out the color of his eyes, or so he's been told. He briefly contemplates a tie but decides against it; he's noticed the way Steve's eyes linger on his unbuttoned throat, and it's Steve he's dressing for, because today might be the day that Steve wakes up.

My heart is aching for poor Danny...

He's trying to stay optimistic and put a brave face on things.

That's plain to see. And he will be rewarded. Right? :)

This set is so heartbreaking, I just ache for Danny. He's so easy to break apart.

He's trying to hard to keep it all together, poor love.

Oh Danny! I know you want your Steve back! He needs to wake up and give you a big hug and kiss!

I know... poor Danny.

Hanging on by his fingernails, isn't he. Poor Danny. Steve will be ok, you'll see. (He will, won't he?)

I *think* so... *ponders*

The whole idea of dressing nicely in the hopes of Steve waking up to see him is so heart-aching, but so good.

I had this mental image of Danny turning up there every day to sit with Steve and hoping against hope that today will be the day.

now i just wanna hug Danny. or maybe slap Steve up in the head till he wakes up.

[identity profile] azziria.livejournal.com 2013-02-18 06:16 am (UTC)(link)
Hug Danny. But don't muss his hair or crease his shirt. Only Steve's allowed to do that.

Just read all of these and they are so refreshing. This is not happy or fluff or schmoop; this is real, this is something that could happen. Thank you ever so much for writing these... I am feasting on them. The imagery is amazing and the first one... Ouch. These are heartbreakingly gorgeous.

More? *crosses fingers*

I don't think I'm done torturing poor Danny just yet...

You're breaking my heart with this series.

Sorry about that, just can't resist the angst...
