Linkin Park: Brad/Chester, #070 Storm
Title: Noah
Fandom: Linkin Park
Characters: Brad/Chester
Prompt: #070 Storm
Word Count: 193
Rating: U
Summary: Brad should have helped him build the arc.
Chester is odd. Always has been. And no matter how cool he tries to be he’ll always stand out in the crowd as the slightly strange one.
So it doesn’t come as much of a surprise to Brad to find Chester building a boat in his back yard.
“It’s an arc,” he says as if it makes perfect sense.
“Why is it an arc?”
Chester lines up a plank of wood and nails it into place, “Floods coming.”
Brad raises an eyebrow. “What the fuck? Noah, it’s July.”
“So?” He says, pushing up his shades to meet Brad’s eyes. “You’re welcome to join me. But you have to help build it if you want to be on board.”
“No thanks,” says Brad.
***
The rain doesn’t stop and eventually all of the power goes out. The sewers back up so you’re never sure if the water is clean anymore. Brad tries to call Chester but the phone lines are down.
Chester on his arc, with two of every animal and enough food to last until the storm is out.
And Brad has to laugh. Should have just helped him build the damn boat.
