Title: Just a Test
Rating: G
Length: 375
Competitor: Dom
Round/Fight: 1/A
Summary: Dom takes Neal’s threat very seriously.
-
For his two whole weeks of leave, he studiously avoided Kel. The palace was large and he was positive that it wouldn’t be difficult, but Dom definitely didn’t count on finding her every place he tried to take refuge. The third time he turned a corner and almost bumped into her back, Dom started wondering if maybe paranoia was a valid concern, that maybe he really was stalking her unconsciously. Neal had made it quite clear the very first day his squad arrived in Corus –
Neal grabbed Dom by the shoulder and dragged him forward until they were almost nose to nose. This was a side of his cousin that Dom had never seen, but although he knew he could probably take down Sir Meathead in a fight, the look in Neal’s eye hinted that this was a precarious situation.
“You may be my family,” Neal threatened, “but if you keep giving Kel those steamy looks, I’m going to spell you silly.” A fist fight was one thing, but once Neal brought his Gift into it... well, that made Dom a little wary.
“Steamy looks? Don’t you think you’re exaggerating a bit?” he tried tentatively, but lifted his hands in defeat when Neal glowered at him.
“She isn’t one of those girls, Domitan! Promise me!”
Well, they were as close as brothers and after all, a promise was a promise. Maybe staying away from his new pal had its merits – none of the city girls would be scared away by her commanding presence.
“I thought hide-and-seek was a child’s game, but I think I’m losing.”
Dom jumped just about a foot into the air at Kel’s voice, looking around wildly to find her standing with her hands on her hips and an eyebrow raised. “Can’t stay – you’re not – I said –” he spluttered, flattening himself against the wall behind him. “If Neal –”
He broke off when Kel laughed, and stared at her as she said, “Actually, Neal sent me here to find you. He wanted me to give you this note.”
Taking the proffered parchment with budding suspicion, Dom unrolled it and read aloud:
“Just testing you! My support and best wishes to the happy couple!”
That meathead was definitely in for it now.
