One Step Back
Fandom/Pairing: LotRPS, Sean Bean/Viggo Mortensen
Rating: PG
Length: 100 words
Warnings: Good old-fashioned garden-variety angst.
Disclaimer: This never happened. Just a writer's flight of fancy.

Note: I was in the mood for a nice punch-to-the-gut bit of angst this evening. The rest of my muses are so HAPPY! Sean and Viggo are always good for the twisty-chest feeling. Sorry, boys.

~*~*~

There were a million-odd ways to do this, but only one right way: that was the puzzle of it. I want and I need passed through Sean's mind and were just as readily dismissed. Wrong way, wrong time.

And then finally he was leaving, and Viggo was in the doorway saying goodbye.

He got almost close enough to kiss him before Viggo took one step back.

"It's not that I don't want... I just don't want it to change things," Viggo said, expression begging Sean to take it as he meant it.

"It's fine," Sean said, heart pounding. "Goodbye, Viggo."

Well... no. :D But I'm glad you read anyway!

OH! That hurts my heart!

Poor Sean. I'm not usually a drabble girl, but this is excellent. Packs quite the punch.

Thank you! That's just what I was going for. :)
