drabble: satsumas. dom/oz

[satsumas] - dom/oz for minervacat
verona beach christmas in july! prompt was oranges.

It doesn't feel quite like Christmas, but Dominic is used to that after New Zealand, seasons all upside down and backwards. Dominic has a gift for creating space for himself wherever, whenever, so when he gives all he has there is a place to come back to. He has help now; Oz is a scavenger, finding the little things, the magic.

Tonight Oz produces oranges like a magician, one in each palm, wrapped in red tissue paper crinkling. They take them down to the beach, curl together on the sand, flicking away the white bits, talking of everything and nothing.

the thing, for me, about the way you write this pairing is that it's so bare, and yet there's so much there all at the same time. this is no exception.

what I mean is: it's absolutely gorgeous, thank you.

I have a thing for oranges wrapped in tissue paper. It's this lovely holiday image that comes from books and things... something I haven't ever seen but makes me think of Laura Ingalls Wilder and so many things I loved as a child.

I know, this is a completely silly thing to get caught up in when this whole drabble is so beautiful, but. Yeah. Well, you know me.
