Few (or sort of a lot of) Words Wednesday

The last installment before I actually start posting for Pinto de Mayo, just to show it’s not all fluff. 

June 3rd, 2018

7:30 a.m.

LLAP: are you closeted?

CP: JFC it’s too early for this.  Good morning to you, too.

LLAP:  sorry.

LLAP: Good morning, Christopher.  How did you sleep?

CP: Fine until 15 seconds ago.

CP: We’re not having this conversation until I make coffee.

LLAP: That’s fair.

7:38 a.m.

LLAP: Did you fall back asleep?

CP:

CP: two more minutes

LLAP: okay.

LLAP: *the jeopardy song is going through my mind*

CP: shut up, you fucking different-time-zone-asshole.

7:41 a.m.

CP:  Okay, I’ve had my first sip.  What are you on about?

LLAP: I was searching for you and Adam online.

CP: why??

LLAP: I’ve been up a few hours.  Anyway, I think I found him.  Dark curly hair?  Skinny?

CP: That’s him.

LLAP: Anyway, I found pictures, but no real mention of him, and meanwhile there were blind items probably referring to you about beards and such, and I was just wondering if you were closeted and if that’s why he bailed.

LLAP:  Sorry, that came out way more harsh and stalkerish than I intended.

CP: What are you on?

LLAP: Nothing

LLAP: Well, I just had my 5th shot of espresso.

CP: unbelievable.

Pinto de Mayo Countdown

ato-the-bean:

Time to remember where I was with this fic and make some progress…

Mood:

5 days!

Actually, I’m definitely ready to START posting by Saturday.  The story probably won’t be done though… per my usual MO, it keeps growing, and…yeah.  But  I think I know how it’s ending, and I’m fairly sure I know how to get there, and it isn’t all the fluffy texts I’ve been sharing.  I’ve been trying not to give the story away too much.

I hope everyone else is doing well.  I’m excited to read some Pinto again, even if it’s old standby’s.  Tradition is a big part of coming home for the holidays, after all.

Six(ish) Sentence Sunday

My Pinto de Mayo fic isn’t done yet, but I got about 2300 words written today, and it’s much closer… so here’s hoping I can wrap it up.

LLAP:

LLAP: Moving Day.  No buyer’s renter’s remorse for this view.

LLAP: And I got rid of a lot of things as I packed, so I’m hoping unpacking won’t take as long.

10:26 a.m.

CP: Hope it’s going smoothly.  Can’t wait to see it with your stuff moved in.

LLAP:

LLAP: there used to be a stack in the center.

LLAP:  I met one of my neighbors.

CP:  Cool.  Nice?

LLAP: She has a chihuahua.

CP:  Oh.  Well, I’m sure she has some redeeming qualities.

LLAP: She likes my dogs.

CP:  There you go.

Few Words Wednesday

From the Pinto de Mayo fic… basically a continuation of the conversation from  Sunday’s teaser.

CP: When do rehearsals start?

LLAP: At 2.  I’m walking there now via the park.

CP: Write me tonight and let me know how it goes.

LLAP: I will.  What have you got today?

CP: Lunch meeting.  And I need to go if I’m not going to be late.  Traffic’s a mess.

LLAP: Yeah, here too.

CP: Really?

LLAP: No.

More from this crazy PdM thing that I’m still finding my way with.

April 2, 2018

10:27 a.m.

LLAP:

CP: Oh wow.  That’s beautiful.

LLAP: You’re missing the critical point.  It’s April second.

CP: You took this today?

LLAP: Just now.

CP: Well, it’s still really beautiful.

LLAP: In January this would be beautiful.  In April it’s just cruel.

LLAP:

CP: Brrr.  Poor cherry blossoms.

LLAP: Yeah.  And not just them.  Everyone over 12 has a worn, bitter, duped expression.  

CP: and under 12?

LLAP: A snow day by any other name…
