Drabble x 2: Accused / Divided
Parts of Slices.
Accused
(written for 1-million-words' Word of the Day: Vexatious.)
"I didn't-- What the f--"
Steve may not be wordy but it's rare he's rendered speechless. Danny standing there grinning certainly doesn't help.
"It's vexatious."
"What the hell--"
"It means that's one of the go-to tricks scumbag lawyers use to delay prosecution or even get the case thrown out."
The accusation is of course bogus, but nothing's more important than Danny understanding that.
"I didn't--"
"Chin's spy kit got us video evidence."
Steve can breathe again, knowing Danny witness he hasn't entrapped their target with promise of sex.
"D, I would never do that endangering a case."
"I trust you."

Divided
(written for 1-million-words' Word of the Day (05/05/2013): Incorrigible.)
Under the dusting of fine hair is Danny's pale skin, lacking even a hint of freckle hardly ever touched by the sun. The healthy pink underneath the skin an alluring contrast to the slowly developing tan barely an inch above, enthralls Steve's undivided attention every time he lays eyes on it.
Growing up in Hawaii, he could never have imagined a tan line's mesmerizing power.
Wants and desires, intertwined by one single line dividing two different skin tones.
In a sleepy slur, Danny mumbles into the pillow, "You're incorrigible. Staring is creepy."
Danny doesn't really mind, and Steve knows it.
