numb3rsflashficTitle: The Ghost of You
Pairing/Characters: Billy/Charlie
Rating/Category: PG13
Spoilers: Man Hunt
Summary: After Don's death Billy and Charlie are haunted by their loss
Notes/Warnings: Read the disclaimer on my LJ
It's his ghost that keeps them apart.
Two together, yet incomplete, even after they can't help but talk around talking about him.
"I miss him."
Charlie finally breaks the fragile silence with the words they think but must not say.
"Don't..." Billy warns
They both loved him.
Neither can bring him back.
Not with Billy's strength, his gun, his badge, his alpha leadership...
Not with Charlie's genes, his dark hair, his familiar yet dissimilar features...
Not with Don's cologne all over them...
Not in his bed...
"Damn it, Charlie!" Billy pulls away, the unspoken name like a splash of ice water on their afterglow. "I miss him too," he finally mumbles, breaking.
Charlie wraps himself around him, seeking and offering comfort, and it begins again.
It's his ghost that keeps them together.

I can think of some writing you could do... ;-)

Evil 4evah!

It took me a second to get that, but that's funny!
