no smacks...! O.o

I'm feeling pretty damn lame and guilty for not having anything to post for so long... so you get this. ^__^ It's a draft, so the finished part may look quite different - just a heads-up in case you archive these things.




Duo moved toward the French doors, shivering in his sweater. “Damn, Heero; it’s freaking *pouring* out there! You can’t fly in that, can you?”

Heero joined him, wrapping his arms around his Chosen’s waist as they watched the deluge. Good thing the balcony was of the open-work variety; they’d be standing in rising water if it wasn’t. Might be good to leave a reminder to Maintenance to inspect the roofs. “I could… in a dire, life-threatening emergency, but it would be neither pretty nor graceful and I would not be a happy Dragon on the other end,” he smiled. “We’re not designed for wet weather flying. Our wings can shed an enormous amount of water, but they do absorb some and that leads to stalling. We’ll catch a port home tonight.” He turned the Banshee around to kiss the end of his nose. “Besides, if we flew, you’d be soaked and then some.”

Duo grinned and wrinkled his nose. “There is that. I’d be all night getting my hair dry.”

Heero’s phone rang and he let go of Duo to rumble a “moshi-moshi”.

Duo drifted back to his own desk to finish clearing it off for the weekend, not intending to eavesdrop on Heero’s call. That intention blew up when he heard Heero say sharply, “Raia, why are you whispering? I cannot understand you.”

“Problem?” he mouthed, rejoining the Wyvern. Heero shrugged, intent on the phone.

“Raia, just speak up,” he growled.

“I *can’t*!” Duo heard her say faintly. “He’s sitting right here!”

“Who is?”

“The vampire!”

Heero held the phone away from his ear, glaring at it, then glanced at the French doors where, in spite of the torrential rain, it was clearly still daylight.

“There is a vampire in Q’s anteroom, during daylight hours?”

“Yes!” she hissed.

Heero gave a great sigh. “Well, fuck,” he muttered. “All right; I’ll come down.”

“Hurry up,” Raia demanded. “I don’t like the way he’s staring at my neck.”

Heero closed his phone. “I’m afraid we’re going to be a bit later; do you mind?”

“Are you kidding?! A vampire in Q’s office?! This I have to see!” He grabbed his jacket, bouncing to the doorway in anticipation.

“If it’s who I think it is, he’s not that impressive…” Heero warned sourly.

“Don’t care. I’ve never a vampire before,” Duo grinned. “Hey, is he going to tell me he ‘vants to suck my bluud’?”

“Not if he knows what’s good for him,” Heero grumbled. “I’ll prune his fangs if he even looks like he wants a taste of you.”

Cool! This looks like fun....(~.^)

[lavendarlizard.livejournal.com]

I sure hope so. ^__^ Recent weeks have not been kind to my fic production. =p

[yanagi-wa.livejournal.com]

Heero isn't a happy dragon about now. I do hope the vampire doesn't even look at Duo. Great snippet.

[lavendarlizard.livejournal.com]

He can probably look; Heero is rather proud of the Banshee, but any attempt at touching will be met with... um... irritation? O.o

[yanagi-wa.livejournal.com]

O.o, right back at ya. And the looking had better be one quick glance, or else.

[merula31]

Sounds like Duo's been watching too many vampire movies. *giggles*

[lavendarlizard.livejournal.com]

All those formative years as a Human teenager... ^___^ Lotta unlearning to do, still. ^.o

[pellsfan.livejournal.com]

Oh this is fun. Loved the image of Heero flying in the rain. And the comment about pruning the vamp's fangs is delicious.

And why on earth would you be anxious? Do you have any idea how many people love this universe you've created? Even the ones who don't comment? *glares at the lurkers*. Come on people, show the love!

LOVE

[lavendarlizard.livejournal.com]

Oooooh...! Puppy is so cute! ^_____^

[gumbypuppy.livejournal.com]

Cute puppy=love.

[ravensilver.livejournal.com]

LOVE

[lavendarlizard.livejournal.com]

*hughughug* Thanks! ^.~

Wyverns don't come equiped with the water-repelling oils of birds; if they spend enough time in water, they get to looking pretty sad, and who wants to be around a sad-looking Wyvern. O.O Especially a grumpy, sad-looking Wyvern.... >_>


*hugs* I'm afraid it's an occupational hazard for me. One part of my life starts to keel over and I fear that it will spread to the important parts. O.O

[rogue53.livejournal.com]

Love, love, lots of love...

And oh boy! A vampire!

Can't wait...

'Prune his fangs'

*giggles*

[lavendarlizard.livejournal.com]

Hopefully, it won't come to that. >_> Not sure the vamp would survive... O.o

[kiria-dk.livejournal.com]

Yays! This promises to be massively entertaining! I can't wait to see what the end-product looks like. And don't worry about taking the time you need. We love your stuff and understand that you actually have a real life besides writing fic. For instance, I've had a story in the works for Sunhawk since September, and it's still not done... Speaking of, it's not going to get done unless I work on it... *toddles off to write, leaving a plate of cookies for the Dragon*

[lavendarlizard.livejournal.com]

mmmmmmmmmmm....... *cookies....* ^_____________^

I just have so many ideas... and then I get stressed and can't get them onto paper.... >_>

[sunhawk16.livejournal.com]

And all of a sudden, Duo is not so worried about the rain! ^o^ Raia needs to get text messaging! :D

[lavendarlizard.livejournal.com]

Well, to be fair, she's never met a vampire before either, so she's a little... uncertain? ^___^ All those bad films, filled with misinformation.

Hm... I can just see Heero trying to text with his talons... *snork!*

[sunhawk16.livejournal.com]

I'm learning to text because my kid texts me. I have to take off my stupid glasses to see the darn keypad. ~_~ Darn show off kid can text me from class without even looking at her stupid phone. And she makes fewer typos than I do!

[lavendarlizard.livejournal.com]

Do you have regular phones or the ones with the full qwerty keyboard? More of my tentative research toward joining the 'connected' world... ^__^

[sunhawk16.livejournal.com]

Just the regular phone keypad. It took some getting used to the texting, but I'm getting better. I just can't memorize the stupid thing the way the kids do. O.o

[lavendarlizard.livejournal.com]

Well, they're practically born with keyboards and keypads in their hot little paws... *rolls eyes*

Hey, did you know that there are two different kinds of cellphones? Or different 'platforms' is maybe what I mean... It's not bad enough trying to find a carrier and a plan, now I have to decide on a possibly-non-portable phone as well! O.O Help!

[sunhawk16.livejournal.com]

I just took what the guy at work gave me. O.O Platforms? Non-portable? Uh... maybe you should make a post and ask for the input of the almighty f-list? I have no idea. Is that for the pay as you go phones?

[lavendarlizard.livejournal.com]

I probably should... This is really confusing... O.o

I was talking to a sales guy about the real phones, because eventually I'll need to go that way - life has a way of laughing at 'pay-as-you-go' - and he starting going on about 'platforms' and how some carriers use one and some use another and I want a phone that's portable... and then my eyes glazed over and the white noise began....

And I just read that the PUC has approved another area code split for my area. >.< Swell.

[sunhawk16.livejournal.com]

Like talking insurance or taxes! ^o^ After about five minutes, all I hear is that noise the adults make in the Charlie Brown cartoon!
