H50 drabble

Drabble written for the 1_million_words word of the day prompt: Wine.

The best-laid plans

The bottle of wine sits unopened on the counter, physical testimony to plans gone awry. Steve should put it away, he knows, give it away perhaps, but he can't bring himself to. It's a good bottle, French, nothing but the best for what he'd had planned. He'd been going to cook some good food, pour some good wine, and then confess his feelings. He'd been so sure about everything at last.

But Danny had his own news, and now the bottle stands gathering dust because Steve can't face the fact that Danny's never coming back to share it with him.

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.

I'm just going to apologise upfront...

( I nearly wet myself... )
