Pairing: Dominic Monaghan/Billy Boyd
Disclaimer: I tell lies. It helps pass the time.
"Once I worked in a bait shop as an apprentice baiter. Then my master died and I became the master baiter." Dominic smiles triumphantly as Billy's face stretches and reddens delightfully in his laughter.
"That was very good, Dom." Billy says appreciatively, with a small nod. Dom accepts it with a knowing nod of his own.
"I do like to keep you on your toes..keep you alert" he snaps his fingers, "in your old age."
Billy begins hunting high and low through the cupboards. Dominic is leaning his elbows on the table doing nothing in particular other than bobbing his head to some song in his mind. Finally Billy finds what he's looking for, and turns to Dom brandishing a container that reads Diet Cranberry Juice with a small, triumphant war-cry.
"Oh God, not the Cranberry Juice." Dom makes a face of mock-horror. Billy pulls a glass from the cupboard.
"The elixir of life. You want some? No? Your loss. You'll die early, alone and crippled."
"From not drinking cranberry juice?"
"Yes."
Dom chuckles and Billy makes an I'm Serious face.
"You're addicted to that juice, you are. You crazy little man."
"I can quit any time." He insists.
"Keep telling yourself that." They stare at each other solemnly. Billy finally breaks up giggling. Dom tells him the cranberry juice is making him tipsy already. Billy kindly reminds Dom that he at least didn't have a few drinks then hire a cab to drive him past every golf course in Wellington for the sole purpose of screaming 'don't screw up' out the window.
Dom responds with a tiny reminiscent smile and murmurs, "Oh right. I had forgotten about that."
"Are Elijah and Sean filming today?" Billy asks.
"Could be." Dom replies. "Why?"
"I was just thinking about going to terrorize..I mean support them." Billy says around a dainty sip of juice.
"Capital idea, Old Bean."
"You're an old bean. At least that's sort of how you smell. Old beans and rotting vegetables."
Dom smiles and slides the container of juice across the table.
"I'll let you get away with that without a witty comeback on the assumption that the juice is poisoning an already feeble mind. Shall we find our hobbit friends?" He makes a show of standing and offering his arm.
"Chivalry isn't dead." Billy declares, taking it. They leave the trailer only after Billy carefully stows his juice in the refrigerator.
