Partner

Just something a little light. Could be the tired talking, but I think Partners is winding down in what they can do for the next eight months. Ah well. Wait... six months? I think it's six now...

I can't quite think straight.

Read, Review and Enjoy.





“Auhi,” Mik murmured, curling tight against the soft warmth that lay between himself and the wall.

Paw giggled and ran a hand down Mik’s leg suggestively.

Dirty. Dirty thoughts.

“Does that entice you?” Mik murmured, opening his eyes despite his growing desire to sleep, “Auhi.”

Paw giggled despite his attempt to keep a serious face. Both hands flew to the Sidhe’s mouth to stop the giggling.

A reaffirming that he was this being, this person.

“What does Auhi mean?” Mik murmured as Paw burst into laughter, “now I’m feeling like this is a very bad prank.”

“Nonnonono,” Paw stifled his laughter, “not prank. Not bad.”

“Then what is it?”

“Mik,” Paw giggled as he tried to speak, “has been hot for Paw’s brother.”

Mik could almost see the twisted humour, “But Mik has been calling Paw, Paw because that’s what Paw said Paw’s name was, even though it really is Paw’s brother’s name and therefore … Paw’s name is Paw.”

Paw snorted and rolled onto his back, holding his sides, “Mik hot for Paw’s brother.” and a howl of laughter.

“Wait a minute. If Paw’s brother’s name is Paw and therefore Paw is Paw, then Mik is hot for Paw’s brother who is named Paw. So. Paw’s brother’s name is Paw and Paw’s name is Paw.”

It was a circle of strange. Yet at the same time it seemed exactly the type of thing that Paw would find hilariously funny. Mik frowned as he waited for Paw to stop giggling, as he tried to word a certain something out. Paw hiccupped and wiped a tear from his eye.

“So.” Mik muttered in all seriousness, “Mik would have to be hot for Paw and Paw’s brother least he have to tell everyone that Paw’s brother is really Auhi and Auhi’s brother is really Paw and Mik isn’t interested in Paw, not the way he’s interested in Auhi?”

“Mik hot for Paw and Paw’s brother?” Paw blinked at Mik.

“Mm… I suppose I could be.”

“But if Mik hot for Paw and Paw’s brother, then Mik not hot for Auhi and couldn’t be hot for Auhi and thusly Mik is hot for Paw and Paw’s brother named Paw.”

“Maybe it’s just me being people, but that one made absolutely no sense.”

“Not supposed to.”

“Ah. Kind of like how much wood could a woodchuck chuck if a wood chuck could chuck wood.”

Paw blinked at Mik, “How much?”

“Or…” Mik pushed the covers off of himself and slid out of bed, “if a tree falls in the forest and no one’s around, does it make a sound?”

“People know these things?” Paw followed Mik to the bathroom.”

“Know what things?”

“Strange things.”

Mik frowned at Paw and took up his toothbrush, “You don’t know riddles?”

“Riddles?”

“You’re at a cliff, there’s a ravine and its really deep. All you have to get across is rope, but you’ve call all the rope you need, how do you get across?”

“Leap.”

“You’re people in this case,” Mik went about brushing his teeth as Paw hummed and hawed and looked very serious as he tried to figure it out. As Mik spat out the foam from brushing his teeth, Paw sighed and shrugged.

“Paw gives up.”

“Does Auhi give up?”

“Auhi never gives up,” Paw said, then whined, a sound that came from the back of his throat and sounded utterly pitiful, “no talk like that. Paw. Paw. Paw.”

“Hey,” Mik dropped his toothbrush into its little cup and turned, pulling Paw into his arms, “Paw and Auhi are the same to Mik. Mik loves them both.”

“Mik loves Paw more,” Paw growled.

Could Sidhe have split personality disorder?

“Ehm… Well he does put out.” Mik muttered.

To which Paw burst into giggles, “Paw puts out but Paw is dead and Mik is hot for Paw’s brother, Paw. Paw is dead. Paw is alive, Paw is dead, Paw is alive. Paw is hot!”

All the man could think of doing was patting Paw’s head lightly and saying, “come on little man, we have an appointment to do the MRI again.”

“Little? Paw realises it’s been a while so Mik hasn’t really seen it,” Paw pulled his pants away from himself and looked down, “but that not little.”
