Mel's Advent Challenge: Star
Okay, so I haven't done any of the earlier prompts.
And I've NEVER written a drabble before (I thought Brandy's 15 minute challenges were hard!).
And I REALLY needed to be getting ready for work, instead of writing.
But I couldn't resist. (OOH! Plus also? It's EXACTLY 100 words! I've never done that before!)
So.
"Star"
Why had he interfered? He knew that AJ hated it when he defended his mom. And his mom rarely seemed to be appreciative. But...she was his MOM.
So Ryan had fought until AJ had him on the ground, boot heel pressed to his cheek. And Ryan had submitted. Begged. AJ laughed, allowing Ryan to stumble to his bed, then AJ went out for more beer. Just what this house needed.
Ryan lay on his bed, staring out the window at the night sky. It was black. Not a single star. Fine. It's not like he believed in wishes anymore, anyway.
I know that I ALWAYS say this whenever I post fic, but...I'm really nervous about this! I seem to be incapable of writing anything light and cheery, and I've never written something with this kind of word restriction, before. Nervous!
