slashthedrabble Challenge #207: Signs

He likes his playmates to be shallow. They are just pretty, gossiping, frivolous one-night conquests. A seemingly endless supply waiting to be bedded.

He doesn’t notice me. Except when I need to save his life. Just an extra pair of hands. I can tell what he’s thinking before he does, usually. But he never thinks of me. Not like that. I see myself in the mirror and know why.

I have no make-up or mascara. I’m too bony and too short. No voluptuous figure, cleavage or curvy hips to flaunt. I am too deep for him. And just too plain.

Hi and thanks for the welcome. I try to dash off drabbles but I'm always worried about posting them. I'm trying to work my way up to longer slashy stories *g*.

Poor Illya. That's just so heartbreaking.

And we know it's totally not true, but sometimes how we look at ourselves isn't how the world sees us. Especially concerning matters of the heart.

Someimes I felt sorry for Illya, what else he can do to win Napoleon's love? But, at the end..

"I am too deep for him"

That is exactly Napoleon's fear and that will bring him to Illya
