H50 drabble

Drabble written for the [livejournal.com profile] 1_million_words word of the day prompt: Impeccable.

Future imperfect

Steve's in his dress blues, medal ribbons perfectly horizontal, tie perfectly straight, clean-shaven and with not a hair out of place, and his manners are impeccable, just like his uniform. He escorts Danny's mother into dinner on his arm as though she's the Queen of England, engages Danny's father in polite conversation that exhibits the appropriate level of interest without being intrusive, and generally behaves like the perfectly-trained Navy automaton that Danny knows he isn't.

It's driving Danny wild. All he can think about is how long it'll be until he can get Steve all alone and mess him up.

Who could resist the temptation to get him all messed up??

Steve totally has "company manners" and knows how to dress to impress

Danny prefers him naked and losing it... ;)

Your drabbles are pretty perfect themselves (sorry I haven't commented more. RL you know?) but this one! That last line was so unexcpected it absolutely made this one.

Oh, I understand all too well about RL! It's why I'm writing drabbles and not long, plotty fic...

I love that you called this "Future Imperfect." It is the perfect title for the perfect drabble!

You continually amaze me! How you can make 100 words say so much is an art!

Glad you like the title... something else that came to me in the middle of a business meeting!

oh Danny, Steve's doing what a good boyfriend/partner/son-in-law is supposed to. you should be thinking how to reward him instead of messing up him.

then again, i'm sure Steve like getting mess up as his reward. ;)

I'm sure Steve's more than happy to let Danny mess him up...

[identity profile] stellarmeadow.livejournal.com 2013-03-04 04:05 pm (UTC)(link)
Love it! You just know Danny's dying to mess Steve up any time he's all perfect. I think that's half the reason he messes up Steve's house so much - can't deny he was there getting comfy when his mark is all over the mess.

Who could resist wanting to mess Steve up when he's looking all hot and perfect in his dress blues??

[identity profile] stellarmeadow.livejournal.com 2013-03-04 04:15 pm (UTC)(link)
I couldn't. I was very amused that Danny had to fix Steve's tie before the custody hearing. You just know it was partly because it being messed up was making him think of everything he wanted to do to Steve. And partly a great excuse to touch him. *g*

This is such a lovey, lovely picture. Steve perfect in his uniform,perfect manners, of course Danny would like to ruin it all and in a good way ;)

Who in their right mind *wouldn't* want to mess him up??

[identity profile] kare.livejournal.com 2013-03-04 06:04 pm (UTC)(link)
ha, yes!

[identity profile] azziria.livejournal.com 2013-03-04 06:27 pm (UTC)(link)
Yes indeed! :)

I'm all grinny again! Wonderful wonderful!

Glad it made you smile :)

This is delightful! In my head, Steve is no doubt perfectly aware of the effect he's having on Danny and enjoying himself way too much, the big tease. *g*

[identity profile] azziria.livejournal.com 2013-03-04 07:44 pm (UTC)(link)
Oh yes, he's *completely* aware of the effect he's having on Danny!

[identity profile] gothikmaus.livejournal.com 2013-03-04 07:55 pm (UTC)(link)
I can just see Steve charming the hell out of Danny's parents and Danny being all frustrated about it. :D

[identity profile] azziria.livejournal.com 2013-03-04 08:16 pm (UTC)(link)
Well yes, because Danny's told them all these stories about what a lunatic Steve is, and then when they meet him he's oh-so-civilised and charm personified...

[identity profile] gothikmaus.livejournal.com 2013-03-04 11:04 pm (UTC)(link)
Danny's mum would be all "Tut, Daniel, you've always had the tendency to exaggerate things", Steve would smile his smug smile and Danny would have a hard time trying not to explode in front of everyone...

LOL! Steve in his uniform...dreams...

So gorgeous...
