ficlet: Attraction

I stumbled upon the [livejournal.com profile] stagesoflove challenge a few days ago and really liked the idea. I discovered the challenge too late to participate in it officially, but I wanted to try the idea out anyway. This is the first stage, attraction. I'll see if I can do all five.


Crawford was never sure quite how it happened. He entered Rosenkreuz, intent on finding a smart, obedient telepath to add to his team. He walked out with Schuldig. He had meant to find someone strong, but passive: someone who wouldn't ask questions about his business or interfere with his plans. Yet somehow, he'd managed to get himself stuck with an insolent, irresponsible teenager.

Schuldig was lazy, messy, and most irritating of all, irrepressibly nosy. He went through Crawford's things, and asked dozens of questions about topics Crawford would prefer to keep private. Not only that, he saw nothing wrong with using his telepathic abilities intrusively, and had absolutely no respect for the privacy of one's thoughts. Crawford was aware that it would be probably be wise to send Schuldig back and find another telepath.

And yet….

Crawford studied Schuldig's young body draped over the couch as he watched television.

Perhaps he’d give it a few more weeks.

Go Schu!

And poor Crawford. He doesn't have a clue.

Crawford is definitely pretty oblivious in this one. *g*

Wonderful, it makes me want more, more, more! *bangs head on desk, it doesn't help, is addicted to this crack*

Oh, thank you so much! There will definitely be more. I've got three more parts ready to go, as soon as I can do a quick edit.

Awwww. *g* Oh, Crawford, you're so screwed. And I mean that in the best way, of course.

Hee! Thanks. He's very screwed indeed. *g*

[identity profile] emungere.livejournal.com 2005-03-10 06:06 am (UTC)(link)
No? That's Brad and Schuldig, or at least it is on my computer...

[identity profile] missingwatch.livejournal.com 2005-03-10 06:07 am (UTC)(link)

[identity profile] missingwatch.livejournal.com 2005-03-10 06:08 am (UTC)(link)
yep, definitly still an anime chick with blue getting her brains screwed out. maybe my temporary internet files saved the icon or smthg?

Seems likely. Lulu's not there when I look at my userpics page.

c'mon crawford, life would be so much more boring without schuldig... who wants obedient?

[identity profile] cicer.livejournal.com 2005-03-10 08:40 pm (UTC)(link)
Bah! Obedient is boring! I suspect he just doesn't want to admit it. :)
