Drabble. An experiment in voice. Elijah had known.
The Problem
The problem was that Elijah had known all along that Sean would kiss him back.
He'd been able to feel it in the way Sean almost breathed him in when they hugged, as if Sean wanted to memorize everything about him. He'd been able to see it whenever Sean looked at him like he was the most fascinating thing in the world.
And when he was with Sean, he felt fascinating and brilliant and wonderful in every way.
Because of all that, Elijah had known that Sean would kiss him back.
He just hadn't expected Sean to kiss him first.

Date: 2003-12-31 12:19 am (UTC)And yeah, first time writing Elijah (first time writing lotrips at all, actually). Strange new world.
I love the drabble structure - by chaining you in, it frees you, forces you, to be creative.
Anyway, I'm very glad that it worked for you - I read your fics recently (aka on my sudden, mad S/E adding spree) and went "Ooo!", so hearing that from you means a lot.
