Day 21 - Choice

(reposting)

“If you could choose again… Would you still choose me?” you didn’t know what kind of evil spirit possessed you to ask the question aloud.

He paused mid stir of the pudding he was cooling. Here you were, sick after an unexpected storm. Zayne, ever the kind doctor, decided to spend his rare day off looking after you. 

He looked at you, eyes somewhere between hurt and shock, maybe both. 

“What question is that, (y/n)? “ he gently touched your cheek, hands comfortably cold compared to the heat you felt  “There was never a choice. It was always you”

"We 'eard," started Kuegler, "that our little burdy found a mate."

Your mind flickered to Viktor's face. "We aren't together! He isn't a part of this. Leave him alone."

"Then I suppose yous got a choice to make," Boulder warned.

He came behind you, clamping a large hand painfully around your shoulder. He towered over you. You hated this, being pinned. Cornered like a rabbit by foxes.

You swallowed the knot in your throat. "I'll take whatever option keeps him safe and away from you."

Kuegler smirked. "That's a good burd. I knew you was smart. - C'mon, we got business."

Drabble Challenge — Day 21: Choice

On AO3

    If Jamil picked the wrong choice, if he didn’t have the option to turn back anymore, it wasn’t entirely on him. It was Kalim’s fault too.

   Kalim could have chosen to push Jamil away when he kissed him on impulse a few minutes ago instead of wrapping his arms around his neck, leading to them tumbling on the bed. He could have protested when Jamil expertly tugged at the string of his tank top, untying its delicate knot.

   But, he’d chosen to spur Jamil on instead – by kissing the base of his neck so he was even more at fault.

Drabble Challenge 2025 Day 21 Prompt: Choice

“Well, Justice, what’re ya thinkin’?  Blonde, brunette, or redhead?” Logan grinned over the rim of his whiskey glass.

“Stop it, Lo, they ain’t lookin’ at me,” Justice ducked his head bashfully.

“Oh, I beg to differ, my friend,” Owen said.  “They are definitely looking at you.”

“Go on, Just, make a choice,” Logan egged him on.

Justice stood up and made his way over to the trio that had been casting glances his way while Logan and Owen watched.  Returning minutes later they asked who he’d chosen.  

He just smiled saucily.

“Why choose at all?” He returned to the ladies.

May Drabble Challenge Day 21: Choice

I'm catching up, slowly. Life's been a bit intense at the moment. General Lem is one of my favourites.

++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

General Lem scrutinised the man before her with the acuity of a bird of prey. For all his excess height, Colonel Iom Kubo shrank like a toddler caught stealing candy.

How can humans win this war, she mused, when we cower under our own gaze.

"General," he greeted, straightening himself.

Lem smiled, quite fond of Kubo. He believed in the cause and was ready to make the right choice when needed, unlike her own children. Those two crumbled into dust at the first obstacle.

They are better off dead, after all. They were not suited for the fight of life.
