Title: The Naked Man
Word Count: 300
Rating: T-M (I suck at ratings; strong T, I guess)
Disclaimer: don't own them; they own me. Title and premise stolen from How I Met Your Mother.
A/N: Thanks to kick_galvanic for the beta.
A/N 2: Set between Abstinence and Spooning.
After dinner, Bill drove Laura home in Galactica. She decided she liked thinking of the car by that name.
“Coffee?”
“Sure.”
Laura went into the kitchen, leaving Bill alone with his thoughts for a few minutes.
“Maybe I should give you some space,” he said when she returned to the living room.
“Are you breaking up with me, U-Haul man?”
“Of course not. I just don’t believe comfort is a reason for sex.”
“No? What are your reasons for sex?”
“Love.”
“You’re such a romantic. I disagree, though.”
“Yeah? What are your reasons?”
“I once had sex with a man just because he was naked.”
“Really?”
“Yup. The date wasn’t going well. It was a blind date, and I was in a vulnerable place. I went to the bathroom for a few minutes planning on ending it. When I came back, Sean was completely naked.”
“What did you do?”
“I laughed and figured what the hell.”
“Then what?”
“I threw him out of my bed and asked him not to call me again.”
“I’m not sure that would work for me.”
“Hmm. I’ll go get the coffees.”
Laura decided to test Bill’s theory. She needed comfort, anyway, and proving Bill wrong would be a nice bonus. When she returned with the coffees, she played the role of the naked man.
“I, um, see the merit of the naked man scenario.”
“I thought you would.”
“Lose the coffee!”
“Yes, sir. Right away, sir. Anything you say, sir.”
---------------
“The naked man, huh?”
“It went better this time. Less awkward. More comfort.”
“Does this mean I’ll never see you again?”
“In this case, you’re the chick, so it’s up to you, Bill.”
“Then I’d like to explore more of your reasons, please.”
“Maybe you can show me how love works, one day.”
