Title: Save for Later
Word Count: 100
Rating: PG
Challenge: 296 – Leftovers
Characters/Pairing: Emily, Matt
Warnings/Spoilers: None


Emily didn't understand why Matt was so upset over her wanting to throw out the uneaten scraps of her lunch.

She didn't quite understand the concept of leftovers. Growing up in a wealthy household, any uneaten food was either thrown out or given to the dogs. But in Matt's world, edible food had been extremely scarce, causing people to fight for the measliest of crumbs.

Emily reconsidered her decision. "I suppose I could save this for later," she said before placing the bowl in the break room refrigerator.

Matt smiled in approval. "Just hope that Connor doesn’t find it first."

Nice one. Very vivid.

Thank you! I'm pleased you think so.

This really reflects their contrasting attitudes from their very different upbringings.

[dreamer-98.livejournal.com]

Thank you so much! I'm glad that came across.

Nice use of the prompt - it shows the contrast in their backgrounds.

[dreamer-98.livejournal.com]

Thank you! I'm glad you think so.

I wonder if Emily will quietly mention to Connor that it's in there so that she doesn't have to eat it? :-) Nice contrast between the two of them

[dreamer-98.livejournal.com]

LOL, she might do just that! Thank you for reading and commenting.

Wow. Poor Matt.

[dreamer-98.livejournal.com]

It must have been difficult for him. Thank you for reading!

[judithjohn.livejournal.com]

Yes, they would have widely divergent views on things like this. Well done.

[dreamer-98.livejournal.com]

It's interesting how something so small can create such different POVs. Thank you so much!

[knitekat.livejournal.com]

Nice look at their different backgrounds.

[dreamer-98.livejournal.com]

Thank you very much for reading and commenting. :)

This is so Matt! Waste must be so painful for him.
(Aside - I did finish mine before reading/commenting - honest! - but we're definitely on the same lines this week. Ho hum, shuffle.)

[dreamer-98.livejournal.com]

Thank you so much!

I believe you! In fact, I often worry before I post things that someone else is going to write something similar. But we took slightly different approaches, so it works. :)

[stealingpennies.livejournal.com]

Hee! Yes, I have a rule about not reading anyone else's P100s until I've done mine so I won't be influenced or downhearted by other people's brilliance! So I was 'Oh la la!' when I read yours. I did consider binning mine but didn't think I'd come up with an alternative in the time left. Interesting that while I don't think that Matt can be read as anything other than horrified by waste Emily feels equally valid either way. (We have have great minds as mentioned! :) )

Lovely compromise!

Thank you very much for reading! I'm glad you think so.

Nice drabble. Very believable for both their viewpoints on leftover food.

[dreamer-98.livejournal.com]

Thank you so much! I'm glad you thought it worked.

[nietie.livejournal.com]

Awww, nice contrast of the past and the future.

[dreamer-98.livejournal.com]

Thank you so much! I'm glad you think so.

[fredbassett]

Nice study in contrasts!

[dreamer-98.livejournal.com]

Thank you very much!

[flaccidduck.livejournal.com]

Great drabble

Thank you so much!

I always like fics that show the differences between their sensibilities, really nice. And lol, Connor, he would be the one to eat other people's food. *g*

[dreamer-98.livejournal.com]

Thanks so much, I'm glad it worked for you. And yes, trust Connor to eat any food that may be in sight. :)
