Primeval Drabble

 “Tell me about the time you served in the Gulf Wars.”

They were in bed, snuggling and talking.

“Why?”

“I want to hear about the good and the bad. And I want to hear more about your past.”

“Well, it definitely wasn’t a fairy tale from Arabian Nights. And you, of all people, should know there’s not just good or bad, black or white, considering your history with Helen. There’s lots of grey.”

“I know!” Stephen punched Ryan softly. “But I want to hear about it.”

“I’ll tell you. But no bedtime story tonight. Let’s watch The Hurt Locker instead.”

I love this little snapshot of their life. And I want to know about Ryan's past as well!

I want to know about Ryan's past as well! Me too! Serving during a war has a huge influence on someone's life. I wonder how it influenced Ryan.

Most curious! Very nice. ^^

I can't blame Stephen wanting to know more about Ryan's experiences in the Gulf region.
Thanks! :D

I can imagine the tale is an interesting story in and of itself.

So can I. Let's hope Ryan finds the courage to tell Stephen more of his past.

I'd love to see some more backstory for Ryan as well.

This was a lovely snippet of their life together.

Thank you. I guess Stephen will have to have a little patience, but in time Ryan will tell more of his past.

That was lovely :)

*joins the chorus of demands to know more about Ryan's past*

Thank you.
I guess we all want to know more about our favourite SF-soidier's past. I wonder when he starts talking about it :)

Hmm... methinks Ryan is avoiding the subject...
Hey! I want to see The Hurt Locker. Can I snuggle up too? *g*

[identity profile] nietie.livejournal.com 2010-03-20 10:29 am (UTC)(link)
I want to join them too! Let's puppy pile in their bed! *bg*
The Hurt Locker is a wonderful film, showing a complex (and almost desperate) war situation.

Aww lovely little look at their relationship. :)

[identity profile] nietie.livejournal.com 2010-03-20 10:30 am (UTC)(link)
I love those boys :D
I hope Ryan finds the courage to open up about his past.

Hmmm. What is Ryan avoiding, I wonder? Nice look into their relationship.

[identity profile] nietie.livejournal.com 2010-03-20 10:32 am (UTC)(link)
I guess watching the film with Stephen will help him to talk about his experiences in the war.

Snuggles the boys - interesting glimpse into their lives!

I hope Ryan has the courage and time to start talking about it. *joins you in snuggling the boys*

[identity profile] deinonychus-1.livejournal.com 2010-03-21 06:36 pm (UTC)(link)
I can see Ryan being very reluctant to share stories like that with civilians. It's definitely a sign of trust that he would tell Stephen about it.

[identity profile] nietie.livejournal.com 2010-03-21 06:41 pm (UTC)(link)
Yes, it definitely is a good sign.

Thanks! :D

I like this - it's real-blokey, no nonsense stuff, just like them.

[identity profile] nietie.livejournal.com 2010-03-28 02:54 pm (UTC)(link)
Thank you! <3

Awwwww this is really cute!

[identity profile] nietie.livejournal.com 2010-04-03 10:52 am (UTC)(link)
Thank you. They're my favourite pairing :)
