Challenge: Challenge 72: Kisses
Characters/Pairing: Nick/Stephen
Warnings: angst

Stephen wondered who got the kisses that were no longer given to him. Was it Connor who Nick kissed now, snatching them from that clever mouth while no one was looking? Nick's lips crushed against Connor's, needing and wanting, where once they had wanted his?

Maybe it was Abby. Pretty, pert Abby, who Nick was kissing now. Soft and sweet as fresh ice cream, but warm instead of cold.

Or was it Jenny's bright, bold lips that took the place of his?

It didn't really matter, in the end. Because Nick wasn't kissing him anymore.

Awwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww
*sniff* Someone needs to kiss the boy better, Nick preferably. :)
Lovely sad drabble!

[reggietate.livejournal.com]

Thanks :-) Yes, definitely Nick. I'd write it myself, but for me writing drabbles is like getting blood out of a stone - it takes an awful lot of effort!

[verito295.livejournal.com]

LOL Believe me I know.
I could never write a drabble, my brain simply doesn't work that way :)

[reggietate.livejournal.com]

Mine just barely does. Now and then I can think of one, but usually I'm stumped, so when I do manage to write one I'm chuffed to bits even if it's not brilliant (which I have to say I don't think this one is).

[verito295.livejournal.com]

Awww, no honestly I loved the this one, I think you did a great job with the angst and the sadness of it

[reggietate.livejournal.com]

Thanks :-) And practice makes perfect - or better, at least! They're harder than writing poetry.

[bigtitch.livejournal.com]

Aw, great drabble.
And yay! We're back to angst! ;)

[reggietate.livejournal.com]

Aw, great drabble.

Thanks :-)

And yay! We're back to angst! ;)

Back? :-) I barely left it and I was already getting angst-withdrawal symptoms.

And may I ask (iz no doubt dumb) what the BRB in your Stephen icon stands for? It's been puzzling me for ages :-)

[bigtitch.livejournal.com]

BRB= Be Right Back
Used when you're on instant messaging and stepping away from the computer for a bit.

[reggietate.livejournal.com]

Doh! Mind you, I suppose you can forgive my dumbness a little, I've never really used instant messaging. Thanks :-)

I'm glad you asked, because I have no clue what most of these internet and text-speak acronyms mean either.

[bigtitch.livejournal.com]

Always forgiven. And as I used to tell my trainees - 'There's no such thing as a stupid question. There's only stuff you know and stuff you don't.' Nobody can know everything. I had to move to Manchester before I realised that Cheshire wasn't on the south coast.

[deinonychus-1.livejournal.com]

Awwwwww. Poor Stephen *huggles him*.

[telperion-15.livejournal.com]

Ouch. But in a good way! Maybe...

[reggietate.livejournal.com]

Thanks :-) Yes, it's definitely an ouch situation. Poor lonely Stephen...

[fredbassett]

Oh ouch! The Angst is Back!

Great drabble.

[reggietate.livejournal.com]

Oh ouch! The Angst is Back!

Angsty? Moi? *looks innocent*

Great drabble.
Thanks :-)

You know... this isn't helping me stay in the nearly fluffy mood I'm in while I avoid writing my last song drabble because I'm not feeling fluffy enough!

*blinks*

I hope you understand that because I'm not even sure I do. ;-)

Loved it, m'dear, angst and all.

It means my cunning plan to spread more angst in the world is succeeding *cackles evilly*

Loved it, m'dear, angst and all.

Thank you :-)

Erk! A sad, angsty drabble -- and it works really well.

[reggietate.livejournal.com]

Ta! It is pretty sad. S2 is not a happy time for our Stephen.

[lukadreaming.livejournal.com]

Which is why I seem to be cowering away from S2 . . .!

[reggietate.livejournal.com]

What, and you an old Angst-Hound? For shame!:-) I think that's why I spend so much time writing fics set in S2 - built-in angst. Tho' with your primary pairing being Stephen/Ryan I can understand why you tend to avoid it.

[lukadreaming.livejournal.com]

LOL, exactly! I can recline in my deckchair and admire the view of the pyramids *bg*.

[reggietate.livejournal.com]

I may end up joining you on a far more regular basis if our fears about S3 prove justified!

[lukadreaming.livejournal.com]

I've got a very bad feeling in my water about S3. I shall happily play in the S1 sandpit and ignore the rest *g*.

[reggietate.livejournal.com]

I've got a very bad feeling in my water about S3.

Please God we get some positive information soon!

[fififolle]

Poor old Stephen. Perhaps it's better if he doesn't know...
:)

[mysteriousaliwz.livejournal.com]

Oh dear.

*hugs poor, comfortless Stephen to her bosom*

[reggietate.livejournal.com]

Thank you :-) I'm sure he feels a little better now. And perhaps between us we can all beat some sense into Nick one day!

[cordeliadelayne]

*heart breaks* Aw, poor Stephen.

[reggietate.livejournal.com]

Yes, I'm afraid the angst-bunny bit me again. Glad you liked it.

[adafrog.livejournal.com]

*cries*

[reggietate.livejournal.com]

Thank you *hands tissues*.
