One week left.... O.o

[lavandarlizard2]

Black Friday is almost upon us. Expect me to be a gibbering gekko by next Friday night. >.< I hate retail.

More BFB, Clanhold Chainsaw Masacre, featuring Trowa and Wufei. ^___^




Wufei adjusted his pillow for the third time, stifling his grumbles lest he wake Trowa. The Were-Puma could and did sleep anywhere and in any conditions, but he also awoke instantly at the slightest unexpected noise. Wufei settled back down, finally satisfied that the pillow was neither too flat nor too fluffy for his taste. The shades were open at the windows and he could easily see the stars of the Milky Way. Nice. The Castle was too close to the town for much star-gazing, and their apartment was on renter’s row just three blocks off the main highway. They were lucky to be able to see Venus or Mars, let alone any real stars.

Out here, the ambient light was at a minimum; only the occasional interior light from one of the dens peeked around a curtain or vane. Weres had no need of street lights at night and none of the small Clan shops sported any after-hours neon. The closest town was six miles away, over the hill and around a bend in the river, carefully out of sight.

This was a fairly pleasant place, he had to admit. And while rotten cats were rotten cats, these particular rotten cats had been very decent to him so far. Cathy had insisted on hearing the whole story, even going so far as to drag him out to the amphitheater so that everyone with an interest could listen. That was… hm… gratifying in a strangely puffy way. He hadn’t expected to have dozens of Were-Pumas crowded around him, eager to hear his tale of Demons and Danger. The youngsters had oohed and aahed; the adults had gasped and rumbled in all the appropriate places. Very gratifying… indeed.

Dinner had consisted of a number of his favorite foods. Platters of grilled river trout, bowls of sweet and sour cabbage, racks of barbequed ribs, chocolate cake as far as the eye could see…. Astounding, really. And everyone treated him as a national hero. The Puma Clan adored Duo, he knew, so taking a bullet for the Banshee was probably a big part of this nonsense. Still, his standing up to Zephyrus brought cheers and applause on its own merit. The Pumas didn’t like Zephyrus; Cathy had been as furious as Heero when Zephyrus pulled his seduction of Trowa. The female was wickedly protective of her younger brother and had threatened to slice and dice the hedonistic demon if she ever encountered him. As he recalled, he had offered to help her.

With that pleasant thought in mind, he finally drifted off to sleep.

I'll have a nice cup of hot chocolate ready for you when you get home.

As for this part.... Wufei is just adorable here. Rotten cats indeed! They may be rotten but he is certainly eating up the adoration. Wonderful.

O.O With Kahlua? Or valium?

Dragons don't need adoration. >_> Much.

Oooooh...! O.o I'll have to rein in the temptation to drown myself.... ^___^

It maybe retail but at least you HAVE a job. I can't seem to get one to save what little soul I have left *stage whispers* ...and trust me it ain't much. I've tapped my unemployment out and can't get an extention of any kind til my fat disabled ass is in a school of some kind and the universe is conspiring against me to keep me from getting into school. Not to mention the move to up north isn't going well either *makes an irritate huffing sound* Have I mentioned recently how much I love and adore BFB? Your post gave me a much needed smile :-D Thank you!

I went through a dozen or so applications to get this one. *sigh* People can't seem to make the mental gear shift that I don't care how much I made in my last job, I JUST NEED A JOB, DAMMIT. Since the lending market tanked the loan pushers are flooding the local job market. >.< Carpetbaggers.

Something will work out, eventually. ^__^ It's just that 'eventually' has its own timeline. =p

Grumpy to the end, isn't he? Great work.

[lavendarlizard.livejournal.com]

He's got to keep up appearances; can't have a bunch of felines thinking the dragon's gone soft. ^___^

[sunhawk16.livejournal.com]

Awwww... the grumpy dragon is getting petted! And he accepts it so... grudgingly! ^o^

Reminds me of a cat who just loves the tummy rubs and then remembers that he's supposed to be the evil spawn, but what the hell, the tummy rub is better. *winks at Halo* Marshmallow with teeth. ^___^

Aw, the rotten cats aren't so rotten! And I'm with the cats- I despise that demon!

*hugs you* I usually hide on Black Friday, but I suspect with relatives I shall be pulled out into it. I say we lay in a store of chocolate. *hugs again*

^___^ One of these days, Zephyrus is going to drop in on them by mistake... I'm sure Wufei would smirk.

Finally got the schedule for this coming week; I work 0600-1000 on Friday. O.o I'm going to spin this in a positive manner and stick my free Starbucks coupon in my bag and get a frappacchino on my way home. >_> Maybe a bag of mint chocolate Kisses, too. ^___^

That was sweet. Really really sweet and chocolate cake mmmmmmmmmmmmh! I was rereading BFB and diversions and I absolutely adore the fact the Duo passes out in orgasm with Heero. That made me laugh. Anyway, wonderful job.

[lavendarlizard.livejournal.com]

Heh. I'm not sure how pleased Heero is with that... *snerk!*

[katleap.livejournal.com]

It's gotta be a tad frustrating but it's hilarious. And he is the only one who can make Duo do that.

[lavendarlizard.livejournal.com]

A combination of 'Ha! Look what I can do!' and 'Oh shit!'

And the embarrassment of having to explain themselves to everyone else. ^___^
