Video (Locked to Friends/Family of Killian and Ariel)

[mistakesmakeuswhoweare]

So, I thought, with a certain pair having run off on their little jaunt to Vegas, I'd surprise them with a gift when they got back. Nothing much, just a drabble or two of friend-fiction.

But I could use some beta readers. Any volunteers?

Oh, dear.

You know it's Ariel's birthday on the first?

[mistakesmakeuswhoweare]

All the better timing, then!

[moreweaponsthanyou]

Is it smut about the two of them?

[espigeonage]

If she hurts herself blushing, I'm entirely innocent.

...I don't think he wants to know. =/

[arrowpoint]

What the hell is friend-fiction?

[mistakesmakeuswhoweare]

Well, not all of it. There has to be a plot in there, too.

[mistakesmakeuswhoweare]

What do you think it is? It's like fanfiction, except you write it about your friends. Don't worry your pretty head, they're in good hands. I'm a professional.

[mistakesmakeuswhoweare]

You know, I've never seen anyone do that before. Now I sort of want to.

[arrowpoint]

Okay, why would you want to do that? You actually get to hang out with them. In real life, you know? You don't need to write pretend stuff.

[espigeonage]

When you blush hard enough it kind of hurts! Well, general 'you'. You might flush, but it's not quite the same.

[mistakesmakeuswhoweare]

I think you misunderstand the meaning of a gift. Real life has all these unfortunate inconveniences. Friend-fiction allows you to make a lovely little fantasy for them to indulge in. It's just for fun, sweet thing.

[mistakesmakeuswhoweare]

I was going to say, when have you ever seen me blush, Blue?

[espigeonage]

I've seen you turn red! [well, 'red'. Julien sees too many colors.] Quite a sight.

[mistakesmakeuswhoweare]

That's not blushing, and you know it.

[arrowpoint]

[He still looks confused. He shakes his head.]

Okay if you really want to but it seems kind of dumb. If you want to get gifts for them you can always buy something.

Besides, they might not like it. I don't think I'd like people writing about me like I was one of the Ninja Detective Brothers or something.

[mistakesmakeuswhoweare]

As easy as spending money can be, it means something else to have a highly-personalized, handcrafted gift presented out of love, don't you think?

Maybe I'll have to write some for you, and you'll see what I mean.

[espigeonage]

[He presses what's left of his hand, and lots of feathers, against his chest.] Why I never!

...Anyway. What did you have in mind? Not too explicit, I hope. I'm not sure either would read that far.

oh god XD

[arrowpoint]

I guess so, but anytime I try to make something by hand it turns out really crappy.

[He shrugs.]

I don't see the point, but try not to go too nuts, I guess.

[mistakesmakeuswhoweare]

Oh, it's just drabbles. Something soft for now. I'll save the good stuff for Christmas.

[mistakesmakeuswhoweare]

Really? Pity. You seem like the sort who'd be good with his hands.

So, are you volunteering or not?

[arrowpoint]

To read this thing? Nah, I've got other stuff I have to do.

[He runs a hand through his hair and sighs a little.]

[espigeonage]

Well then. Should I hope I get something then too? Or fear it?

[mistakesmakeuswhoweare]

Something on your mind, Kitten?

[mistakesmakeuswhoweare]

Are you saying you're scared of me, Blue?

[espigeonage]

I could be, if you like.
