H50 drabble

Drabble following on from The best-laid plans.

Wish you were here

The picture on the postcard is a brightly-colored photograph of Caesars Palace. Steve flips the card over to read what's written on the back and sees Danny's familiar spider scrawl.

Hey babe,

Getting settled here in Vegas at last, too hot and sandy for me, but at least there aren't any sharks or jellyfish to worry about. Say hi to Chin from me, and tell Kono to remember that she's not a Navy SEAL and you're not a good role model. Gracie sends her love.

Look after yourself,

Danny.

Steve drops the postcard into the trash. He doesn't need reminders.

Ugh! Rip my heart out! I wouldn't have bothered to read it. Just toss it in the trash or into a junk drawer.

Ah, but Steve can't help but torture himself...

STEEEEEVE!

He's feeling pretty bitter about Danny right now :(

Well he's the idiot who kept his mouth shut too long...

[azziria.livejournal.com]

Yes, if he'd just manned up and said something earlier...

Poor Steve... You're enjoying this, aren't you? Making us all sad and heartbroken. :)

Who, me? *whistles innocently*

cause and effect, Steve. you have only yourself to blame.

then again, if Danny felt the same, he would've said something. so yeah, move on Steve.

What's that saying about 'Too late' being the saddest words in the English language?

:(

(Not the most elaborate comment, I know, but that's all I can do at the moment. That and pout.)

I think that Steve is mistaking being bitter for moving on :(
