A self-imposed challenge of my own creation, running from February 1, 2016 to February 29, 2016. I only plan to start these stories (producing around a thousand words for each), not to finish them within the month.




















Are You Ready? [3/?]
Date: 2016-04-06 03:39 am (UTC)If Galen didn't believe her, he gave no sign of it. He merely smiled at her, coy as a young man could be, and said, "Same as everyone else, I'd wager. To relax, and to have fun."
Sparrow hummed softly. "You know, in the three years I've been here, I don't think I've actually had any fun in this room."
Galen grinned like he thought she was playing a game with him, and perhaps she was; but whatever Sparrow was up to, Frost rather doubted it was as good for him as Galen seemed to think. "I find that hard to believe. Surely the rest of the Circle has something to offer you. Kieran Bell, for instance."
To Frost's surprise, Sparrow only laughed. He watched her uncertainly, now growing sincerely curious about what it was that she was doing tonight; as far as he knew, Sparrow didn't think much of Bell, and he had thought she'd respond to mention of him almost as unenthusiastically as she would any other reminder of Simon. Instead, she seemed perfectly at ease.
"What about him?"
"Well," Galen said, "the way he tells it, he had quite a bit of fun with the both of you. Though perhaps he isn't as good as he says he is? You haven't had him back in a while, after all, have you?"
Frost found himself watching Sparrow's back closely, eyes searching for a single sign of discomfort; oddly, he still found none, and so he let Galen keep going, perhaps in spite of his better judgement. He wanted to know where this was going as surely as the younger man did.
"No, we haven't," Sparrow answered evenly. "But that wasn't because he disappointed us--and it also never happened here."
Galen smiled as if he'd gotten exactly what he'd wanted from her, and Frost felt the faintest stab of suspicion. The man was up to something as surely as Sparrow herself was, and he had a feeling Galen's motives were far more decipherable than his wife's. "Why not?"
"And give these voyeurs a show?"
Galen hummed. "Shy, then?"
"Let's go with that."
"What a pity. I'm sure that comes as a disappointment to all these voyeurs."
"Oh, I'm sure it does," Sparrow agreed, the faintest hint of something a bit less than friendly in her tone. Whether it was meant to discourage Galen or simply directed at the aforementioned voyeurs, he couldn't tell; either way, he inched just a bit closer to her until their chairs were close enough for him to slide an arm around her waist. To his surprise, she leaned into him in a slight but unmistakable movement, and still he wondered what exactly had gotten into her tonight. He had half a mind to try getting rid of Galen himself, if only so he could ask her.
But Sparrow was far from done with him, it seemed. "You, though," she said, her eyes on Galen, "you're not shy at all, are you?"
Now the young man's gaze was locked upon her own, his eyes boring into ears as if eh was trying to figure out exactly what she was getting at--what she wanted him to do, and if doing it would actually help to get him what he wanted. "Not a bit," he agreed, and then Frost watched his gaze flicker away again, but this time it didn't fall upon him. Instead, it went straight past him and to the crowd beyond their little corner.
"No," he said, turning back to her finally, "I'm definitely not. Far from it." He offered her another smile, one he clearly thought was innocent but failed to be anything such. "In fact, I actually wanted to ask you: are you done with Bell?"
Though he still couldn't see her from his angle, Frost could perfectly picture the roll of her eyes that Sparrow must have been giving Galen right then. "Does it matter?" she asked. "It's not like I have some claim to him; you can still fuck him even if he's fucking us. Or do you have something against sharing?"
Frost watched Galen's eyes light up as Sparrow said those words, and now Frost was sure Galen thought he was getting exactly what he wanted from her; and from the way Sparrow was talking, Frost was beginning to suspect the boy might actually be right.
