TCM Ship Week @maskemasker

Day 7 Prompt: Marriage

Ship: Lefty Enright and Drayton Sawyer

"How'd you sleep, Boude?"

"Pretty well, what 'bout you?"

"I didn't sleep at all."

Lefty rolled his eyes. "Poor boy, hasn't slept in over 10 years."

Drayton snorted, continuing to move the spatula around the pan. And Lefty smiled at that sound.

They stayed in silence for a minute or two, Drayton focusing on the eggs, and Lefty focusing on Drayton. Life, as well as Drayton, has been glowing more then usual lately. He watched as he reached his hand to a plate and placed the eggs on it. Then he reached to the egg carton and picked two up. He then cracked both into the hot pan.

Just when he was digging more into the memories of that special day, Drayton turned around.

"How do you like yer' eggs, Boude?"

Lefty didn't listen. He looked at the ring on Drayton's left hand, holding onto the spatula. It was silver, and pretty damn expensive. He had spend three months salary on it, and it showed. He liked knowing it showed.

He smiled to himself, what a tradition man he was. Glitter makeup his little brothers had put on his face the morning of that day still somewhat remaining on his face. He could see a spark of pink glitter on the bottom of his left eye. What bright eyes he had. Even on the morning when he was tired and hadn't even had a cup of coffee yet. Just three days ago they had their wedding.

They got married at the courthouse, having their small wedding party in the backyard of the house. He could move his eyes to the walls, where he could see the remnants of the party they haven't cleaned up yet.

White ripped ribbons, half swept confetti, a full trash bag, present bags and paper, boxes of gifted kitchen supplies they haven't opened yet. And their pretty outfits in bags, ready to be shift off to the dry cleaners soon.

"Boude." Drayton repeated. "Yer' eggs! I haven't been married long enough to know how ya' like yer' eggs!"

Lefty's eyes widened and he shook his head quickly.

"Medium!"

Drayton turned around, but let out a loud shriek as he looked at the pan of two, burning eggs. He quickly turned the fire off and scrapped the burnt eggs off the pan into a plate next to him.

He then turned around angrily at his husband, gripping the spatula harder and his other hand on his hip. As he turned around, Lefty could see the details of the pretty apron he gave him for their wedding.

"The fuck you be lookin' at! Two eggs wasted! That's 3 cents each!"

Lefty couldn't help himself, and he began laughing loudly, throwing his back into the seat as he looked on at his shorter, angry husband.

"Was looking at you, doll face!"

Drayton shook his head angrily, crossing his arms.

"Lookin' at me?! Ya' look at me every damn day!"

"Lookin' at how pretty you are! And yer' ring. Yer' my husband y'know? Wanna see you wear that ring for the rest of yer' life."

Poor Drayton had the weakness of blushing easily, he shared it with his brothers. His face got slightly red as he looked down at the expensive ring on his finger.

"Distracted old man." Drayton murmured, but Lefty could see the slight smile in his eyes the more he looked down.

"You're so gorgeous with that ring, Dray."

"Oh shut up you." He let out an embarrassed chuckle and turned back to stove. "You just trynna distract me from wasting ma' 6 cents. I-I've been married long enough to know that!"

They ate medium eggs and burnt eggs that morning, looking at their pretty wedding rings. With Drayton promising he'll take their wedding outfits to the dry cleaners today, and clean up the ribbons and presents. Lefty didn't rush him.

Notes: I can’t believe this event is over! It was so fun to write for you!

[python-nebula]

This new case is very interesting indeed, I LOVED the ‘dramatic compilation of news clips with orchestral music’ at the beginning, Sherlock is so real for hating parties, the mic cutting out and finishing the sentence with a funny but unexpected swear, ‘I’m trying to understand how you mind works’ ‘you and me both mate’, John being suspicious of big corporations my beloved, Sherlock finding a random train interesting, ‘Goblins Piss’, Johns analogy of Britain looking like an old woman, I can’t wait for part 2!! OH ALSO BASKERVILLE MENTION??? (This is in the same vein as the Irene Adler name drop in TCM, what are they trying to do? /genq)

(Also I don’t think I’m gonna get around to giving a review of my thoughts on TRC pt2, but I did like it very much)

[hauntedjohnny]
