Here's something and its about VigBean. Probably more than a drabble, less than a novella, bigger than a breadbox but smaller than... well you get the picture. This story continues in "Early Morning" and "Next Day". Hope you like them! :o)



“I’m drunk.”

“I know you are, baby. It’s okay. Shh. Just help me…”

“Whot?”

“Ow…Lift your leg…woah there, pal…you okay?”

“You’re talking like a bloody cowboy!”

“Hush. Help me get your clothes off so you can go to sleep.”

“Don’t want to. Want you to talk cowboy to me some more.”

“Baby. Please.”

“I’m sorry. I’m bloody drunk, aren’t I?”

“Yes, we’ve confirmed that point. Why are you on the floor?”

“I think I fell.”

“I think you just slumped and then slid.”

“Oh. It’s nice down here. I can see your toes. I like your toes.”

“Sean.”

“Hmmm?”

“Are we going to get you into bed?”

“Well, I don’t know, Vig…what are you planning to do to me once you have me there?”

“Help you hold onto the sheets to make the world stop spinning?”

“Shite…fuck…I do feel a twinge of that coming on. Why do I do this?”

“Come here, love.”

“You shouldn’t have to put up with this.”

“No, I suppose that’s true. But you shouldn’t have to put up with a lot of my shit either and you do. That’s what love is, I think.”

“Bloody romantic.”

“Bloody drunk.”

“Keep doing that. Your fingers through my hair. I never liked that from anyone but you.”

“You can still feel your scalp?”

“Yeah… Is there a reason we can’t sleep down here?”

“The floor?”

“Yeah…see, it’s comfortable. Ow. My shoes and your books. But those we can just shove under the bed, see?”

“You are road-testing it, aren’t you. Scooch over.”

“Bring some blankets down here, would you?’

“Oh, Seanie…put your head here and go to sleep.”

“I love you, Vig. You love me, too. Drunk or not.”

“I do. I most definitely do.”

I loved this sequence:

“No, I suppose that’s true. But you shouldn’t have to put up with a lot of my shit either and you do. That’s what love is, I think.”

“Bloody romantic.”

“Bloody drunk.”

“Keep doing that. Your fingers through my hair. I never liked that from anyone but you.”

“You can still feel your scalp?”


Funny and unexpectedly sweet. I love how you conveyed so many aspects of their relationship in such a brief piece. Well done.
