Day 26 - Narrow

<< Day 25 MASTER LIST Day 27 >>

~Canon for The Artist and the Engineer~

———

You stepped backward until your back was against the mirror. Viktor caged you in his arms, the scent of booze suffocating in the narrow space between you. Paint was smeared across his chest.

“I…” You licked your lips. “I’m only going to say this because I know you won’t remember tomorrow.”

“Then why say it, dove?”

“Because I don’t want to hurt you. It can’t hurt if you don’t remember. - I want to be with you. But I can’t.”

“But why?” Viktor’s mouth brushed yours.

“I’m a mess, you know that,” you whispered.

“But you want me?”

“More than anything.”

Day 26 - Narrow

Please tell me I am not the only one thinking aloud at the most embarrassing times? (/ω＼)

You were squeezed between a cold wall and a warm body in a narrow nook that was pretending to be a storage. 

So close your nose was touching his chest. Musk, vanilla, patchouli and something else you didn’t recognize, wrapping around you. A weird sense of comfort in a situation far away from enjoyable.

You were way too close to be able to ponder about perfume notes. The heat radiating from him and from your face could probably start a fire. 

You wondered, ”Does he hear my heart pounding? “

“I don’t hear it” came an answer just above your ear.

Drabble Challenge 2025 Day 26 Prompt: Narrow

Logan and Haru narrowed their eyes through their binoculars as they spied on the new builder.

“What’s she doing?” Haru asked.

“Looks like she’s stalkin’ a rocket rooster.”

She crept slowly up to the snoozing rooster, pulled her arm back, and flung her rock.  It bounced off the rooster, startling it, and it began to flap, cluck, and fire defensive rockets.  She screeched and ran from the crazed rooster, zig zagging back and forth, hands flapping, as she dodged the rockets.

The bandits laughed harder than they had in years.

“She’s gonna be a fun one to watch,” Logan wheezed.

Drabble Challenge — Day 26: Narrow

On AO3

   Perhaps hiding together in a closet wasn’t the best idea. Maybe, just maybe, they could have gone their separate ways and hid in two different spots. Jamil should have thought about it before agreeing to play hide-and-seek with Kalim and his siblings.

   They used to be able to crawl in there and stay for a long time, but that was when they were kids – this narrow closet wasn’t made for two teenagers to hide in. Ignoring Kalim’s hair tickling his cheeks and his warm breath hitting his collarbone, Jamil ground his teeth.

   Perhaps that was a new form of torture.

May Drabble Challenge Day 26: Narrow

These three need an asylum, I swear.

"Goodness, you people are so narrow-minded, it's horrific."

Dusa's complaints fell on deaf ears. Iom and Reka were slumped against each other on the small settee, unfazed by the rush of shopping assistants and customers.

Dusa adjusted the straps of her dress.

"Crossed behind my back? Or shall I remove them completely?"

"Whatever works for you," Iom provided.

"People. I've had a more fun time shopping with my great-grandmama, who was completely blind and had Alzheimer's."

"What the heck is Alzheimer's?" Reka asked.

"No clue. Don't ask. Just make her pick something."

"Maybe the purple skirt?"

"I wanna go home."
