Still (Shanks/Ben, "Of A Lifetime") - Challenge Completed!
Title: Still
Pairing: Shanks/Ben
Warnings: No spoilers
Rating: PG-13
Word Count: 100
Prompt: Of A Lifetime
The projected atmosphere hints at a man forecasting battles, weighing the future, considering the change of an era. Few would dare disturb such sober thought in their Captain.
But even fewer would recognise the deeper meaning in those tense shoulders, right fingers twitching towards his left shoulder.
Ben moves to stand beside him, and he doesn’t need to see the dulled light in Shanks’ eyes to know that his thoughts are not on their future, but firmly caught in the past.
“It’s coming,” Shanks murmurs, gaze fixed on the horizon.
“I’ll be here,” Ben replies, although he doesn’t need to.
