Table

They were wrestling on the couch when Colby got his knee a little bit too close to Don’s goods. Don automatically did a little twist-shove move to protect himself, and ended up propelling Colby off the couch. He landed with ‘thunk’ on the coffee table, which gave an ominous groan just before it buckled under Colby’s weight and the force with which Don had thrown him.

Don rolled off the couch and knelt beside Colby. “Jesus, Colby, are you all right?”

It took a moment for Colby to catch his breath. “I think we’re gonna need a new coffee table.”


Mug

Don had a large coffee mug at work that Colby had presented to him as a joke. It was black and said ‘Boss’ in silver lettering. He used the mug everyday, merely smiling when Megan grinned and teased him about not taking it too seriously, or when David accused Colby of sucking up.

Don would glance at Colby when no one else was looking, and smile at him over the edge of the mug as he took a sip. They both knew that the joke was on their teammates, because Don had a matching mug at home that said, ‘Lover.’


Stirrer

Don didn’t do it on purpose. It was just habit. He mixed his coffee, and then he stuck the stirrer in his mouth. Sometimes he merely sucked the coffee off it, other times he chewed on it like he’d chewed on his pen caps in college.

He didn’t even realize he was doing it, until he’d glance up to find Colby staring at his mouth.

And then, Don had to admit, he made a production out of it, because he couldn’t resist the reaction it got, and the promise in Colby’s eyes that made Don wish they were home already.

The End

Love them all, but the mug one is especially wonderful. Although it does beg the question, if Colby gave the mugs, what did Don give in return? I love this pairing, and I'm really glad you wrote them - there can never be enough!

Thank you! I'm glad you enjoyed these, especially the mug one. *g*

I loved them all but the mug one was especially sweet, a secret signal between the boys when they're at work.

[spikedluv]

Thank you! I'm glad you enjoyed these, especially the mug one. Yes, that's exactly what I'd hoped to convey, their own secret signal. *g*

Love, love, love this. They are such a hot pair. I can just imagine what Colby will make Don do when they get home. Yummy!

Thank you so much for sharing.

[spikedluv]

Thanks so much! I'm very happy that you enjoyed these. Yeah, I'm sure Colby'll make Don pay for teasing him, however inadvertantly. *g*

Wow Don/Colby make a nice pair. I love the mug's. Okay if he has Boss at work and Lover at home what does Colby have at home?

[spikedluv]

Thank you! I'm glad you think they make a nice pair, and that you loved the mug one. *g*

Like everyone else, I really enjoyed these, particularly the boss one. But the stirrer imagery is the best *g*

Thank you! I'm glad you enjoyed these, especially the mug one, but I'm not surprised that you like the stirrer image the best. *g*
