When You Care Enough to Send the Very Best by Schnaucl Challenge #62 Consequences

Title: When You Care Enough to Send the Very Best
Pairing/Characters: Don/Nadine Don/Charlie
Rating/Category: PG/het/slash
Word Count: 157
Spoilers: None
Summary: Don is physically incapable of keeping it in his pants.
Notes/Warnings: Allusions to incest. My beta was the lovely and gracious [livejournal.com profile] spikedluv and any remaining mistakes are mine. The characters don't belong to me they belong to people at CBS. They make money off them, I don't. The inspiration and blame for this story can be found here. As soon as I saw it I thought of Don.



He almost deleted it, thinking it was spam. The subject line certainly made it seem that way. And even though he knew there were phishing sites and spam bots that hijacked e-mail addresses, it said was from Nadine, so he opened it. It looked like a goddamned Hallmark card, only the last time he checked, Hallmark didn’t make a “sorry you might have an STD” card.

Don was careful, he was always careful. But maybe not careful enough.

He had tried to be faithful, he had really honestly tried because he loved Charlie and because Charlie trusted him even when statistics, Don’s dating history and Charlie’s common sense dictated otherwise. But sometimes Charlie wasn’t there, he had conferences and classes, and Don needed to stop thinking and just feel something. So, Nadine.

He got tested as soon as he could. The wait seemed interminable. When he got the results he knew he’d have to break Charlie’s heart.
