prelude

well, we're not quite there on this coast, but close enough -

happy birthday dorrie6!!!

for you, a little present to tide you over until dom, lij and i stop fighting. we're about to start group therapy. we're none of us good at listening :)


dom doesn't remember his first impression of elijah. he makes excuses to himself - things were crazy when they first arrived, and it's not like they were love at first sight or any movie bullshit like that. dom knows better than that. but then, dom knew better about a lot of things before he met elijah.

dom knew things about guys, and actors, and americans. bloody hell did he know things about americans. some things he was wrong about, some things he was right about, and some things turned out to not matter.

some of these things, he suspected, were purely elijah.

dom is still fairly sure, just for the sake of example, that most people don't burrow into your lap, bury their face in your shirt, and demand that you buy them a beer. and if they do, it's highly unlikely that this event would occur within 48 hours of first meeting.

but it happens. and though elijah's plea is partially muffled by giggling and cotton dom hears it and gives in. elijah slithers back to his seat in the booth, pausing long enough to bestow a sloppy kiss on dom's cheek.

dom wonders if elijah's really that drunk.

I'm kinda giddy. And it's only 6:15. SOS.

well, i'm glad you like it :) it was so frustrating! they would give me little bits of stories, and i would try to chip away the block to get the rest and i just couldn't do it. drove me nuts. so i pared them into double drabbles instead. tricksy false domlijahs.

Well, three double-drabbles is a fine fine thing indeed! :) :) :)
