Time To Rest
By Periwinkle

“You’re hurt, tired. You need to rest.”

“I’m not that tired, don’t fuss.”

“You never admit when you’re hurting. Someone has to watch out for you.”

Illya rolled his eyes. Sometimes Napoleon’s mother hen tendencies drove him crazy. On the other hand, his partner’s insistence on fussing over him showed affection… “Really, I’m fine.”

“You always say that. I still think you should be in bed.” Napoleon had that don’t-argue-with-me look on his face. “Tell you what; I’ll get in bed with you.”

Illya wrapped his arms around the other man. “Why didn’t you say that in the first place?”

Oh, last line love! :D

I like a snappy ending. I think that's the hardest part of a drabble for me. I can come up with a great opening, but then I kind of flounder (no pun intended)

Thank you!

That's very different, isn't it, IK?

[periwinkle27.livejournal.com]

You got it!

[ifu-one.livejournal.com]

That's nice. Just right!

I love Illya's grin in your icon. It's one of my favorite moments of the show - especially when NS turns to look at him.

Thanks for the comment.

Yea, me too! It illustrates to me Illya's sense of humor, which so many writers forget is right there. he loves to see Napoleon caught by the short hairs and isn't above a few cuts of his own at his partner's expense.

And believe me, you're most welcomed

Perfect last line. Loved it.

I find last lines to be the hardest parts of drabbles - I'm just getting warmed up and the story has to end.

I can only say: Aaaaaaaaaaw~ *love is in the air* <3

Thank you. This drabble is getting the best response of any I've done in a long time.
