[nakeisha.livejournal.com]

TITLE: Only One Thing Left
AUTHOR: Ashleigh Anpilova
FANDOM: Sapphire & Steel
PAIRING: Silver/Steel
SUMMARY: Silver has tried everything to get Steel's attention.
RATING: G
WORD COUNT: 300
CHALLENGE: 201 - 'Pass'
DISCLAIMER: I don't own these characters, nor am I making any money from them. I merely borrow them from time to time.



What do you do when someone fails to notice you've made a pass at them?

I mean, seriously, what do you do?

And it wasn't a covert pass either, it was blatant. And 'blatant' is not my style. I prefer the hint, the subtle pass, the gentle approach, the light flirting, the shared looks. But I already knew that wouldn't work with him.

Steel doesn't do subtle. Steel isn't subtle. Steel doesn't pick up hints. I've worked with him for enough years to know that.

So I made my plans, I knew what I'd do; I knew exactly how I'd approach it. How I'd make it so clear I was making a pass that even Steel couldn't mistake it.

Except he did.

I made my best approach, I planned everything down to the last detail, nothing could go wrong; I was sure of it. He was going to be mine; that or I was going to regret it deeply and painfully. Don't forget, Steel can tie lift cables with his bare hands.

Sapphire's amused 'I told you so', sent telepathically, did not help me at all. Nor did Steel's obliviousness help my sense of worth. For a moment as he ignored my pass, I almost wished he'd hit me. At least I'd have known he'd recognised it.

Some people would tell me to forget it. To forget Steel. To put aside my desire for him. To move on, find someone else.

But I can't. I'm in too deep. Because it's not just about getting Steel now, it's not just about conquering the man of steel. It's about love. Somewhere down the line I fell so deeply in love with him, I can't walk away.

There's only one thing left to do: actually kiss him. Even Steel couldn't ignore that. Could he?

You know it is the right thing to do.

I spy a new icon.

Hee.

It is. Yes. Well . . . Probably :-)

Thanks for reading.

[ashley-pitt.livejournal.com]

Yes....

You're welcome!

Hmmm, I also spy a theme :-)

Fun is good.

Hah! Another show from my childhood that must now be viewed from a different angle (through slash goggles). *g*

And a new fandom for the comm's ever-growing list!

Lovely. :D

*Smiles* Yes, I didn't see it first time round - it was only later :-)

Indeed. It's a fun comm, I'm glad I found it.

Thank you very much.

*holy smokes, another fic!* *glomps again*

Poor dense Steel, lol, he doesn't have a clue, does he?

Silver should definitely throw down the gauntlet and just kiss him senseless, (or kiss some sense into him - either works lol)

*Smiles* I realised I'd neglected this pairing and I still have a triple drabble challenge to finish, so . . . And I'm hoping my longer than 300 words bunny will oblige soon.

He doesn't, no. *Sighs*

Either works indeed. Hee. *Ponders*

Thank you for reading.

Ah, poor Silver! All his plans collide against Steel's obliviousness. He's gonna need to just kiss him :)
Lovely!

[nakeisha.livejournal.com]

I know. Bless him.

Steel really can be totally oblivious.

There is a sequel to this Vision Of The Future (http://community.livejournal.com/slashthedrabble/593406.html)

Thank you for reading.
