Title: Return
Rating: G
Pairing: Rimmer/Lister (implied)
Disclaimer: Don't own, don't make money from. Red Dwarf, that is.
Spoilers: Stoke Me A Clipper
Notes: Drabble



Act it out with your wig askew, step by step, as we line up. Mechanoid, cat-creature, grotty space-bum bunkmate. Shake hands, pat shoulders, grin as best you can.

Don't look into my eyes.

Don't linger at the warmth between us.

Don't shudder as the scent of me rams straight into your brain, evoking memories and feelings you didn't know were there.

Don't hesitate.

Don't grab my shoulder a little too hard as you turn away. We hate one another, remember?

Don't look back. Don't fecking hesitate. Brave lad. In return, I will stay, smiling contently, wishing you luck.

And nothing else.

WHY DO THEY HAVE TO ACT LIKE THAT?! Like... men! Can't they just have sex or something?!?!

Eeeeyah!

Maginificent. Fantastic. *sigh*

Luck and nothing else. Indeed.

I'd quote the best bits, but it's the whole thing. Thank you!

She's got issues, yeaaaaah.

Ahem. That wasn't directed at you, that was directed at Lister. Winamp is good at playing certain songs at the right time.

Oh, but boys are stupid!

That was too sad..*sniffles*
Beautiful that. Only as a result of all the fic I've read, I can't watch Stoke without crying. Like it wasn't bad before.

I did wonder what the custom drabble will be. I can't say I'm all that surprised ;D
