Title: Poison'd Flattery Rating: PG Word Count: 113 Pairing: Jon/Zahir – Team Bend-a-lot Round/Fight: 1/A Summary: Some people think Jon is prettier than he is smart. Author's Note: Throughout SMACKDOWN, I'll be posting pieces inspired by quotes and speeches from Shakespeare, because I'm a huge fangirl. They will be for no particular pairing, just whoever seems to fit (though they may be disproportionately J/Z). This series is based on a soliloquy from Henry V, for reasons which should become abundantly clear.
~~~~~~
What drink'st thou oft, instead of homage sweet, But poison'd flattery?
Here, in the quiet of their rooms, Jon's laugh was slightly hysterical. He sank onto his bed, one hand over his eyes, chuckling bitterly. Zahir eyed him, wary of this odd mood.
“He honestly thought I'm that stupid and vain!” Jon gasped. “Standing there, with the scratches plain as day on his son's face, and he though a little praise, a touch of flattery, would sway my opinion.” When he looked up, his gaze burned, eyes a touch too wide. “I'm not such a bad king as that, am I?”
Zahir sat beside him, placing a careful hand on his monarch's knee. “No. Genlith is an idiot, no more.”
