weekly drabble challenge

[momentarylapse8.livejournal.com]

Rules:

1) A drabble is, by definition, a 100-word story therefore all responses should be 100 words exactly, no exceptions.
2) You may also choose to respond to this challenge with a five-minute sketch.
3) PLEASE put the word DRABBLE at the top of your post. That way people can easily spot the drabbles in amongst any reader comments they receive.

RATING: I don't think this should be limited so reader beware that they could be any rating (you could put it in the subject line if you feel it needs it)

PLEASE try to remember to make each drabble a comment in response to the original post. That way, if the comments start to collapse, the drabbles themselves should remain visible.

[ Gossip 5/5 ]


“Good morning Reggie.” Bertram Wilberforce Wooster smiled at the vision of his man glowing in the morning light. “I’d wondered where you’d scampered off to so early.”

“Necessary errands,” Jeeves answered softly. Sitting on the bed, he passed over the heavy tray. Fresh tea nestled between roses and pastries.

“For me?” Bertie’s smile was brighter than the morning.

“Always, Bertram.” Jeeves thought back on the tasks of the morning, both those his young lover knew of and those he never would. Leaning down, he placed a tender kiss on the rumpled blond curls. “Everything I do, it’s always for you.”

This is brilliant, seriously. Giving Bertie that kind of reputation can certainly protect both of them.

Thank you :-)
I rather wondered if people would get it... but yes - If Bertie is a clever womanizer ( or just rather a charming letch) and Jeeves is the long-suffering but clearly-not-jealous enabler then clearly - CLEARLY - any and all other rumors that might start around are vicious libel.
(I was actually inspired by some of the 'defenses' of the time, many of which came down to 'but I'm his girlfriend' or even
'but he's been seen with women' - and which evidently (Pun very much intended!) persuaded the juries of the day.

The touch I thought most brilliant was Jeeves getting so feisty about them NOT gossiping about Mr. Wooster. You know, since he is above such things.

Oh, clever. ...Jeeves would be this clever though, wouldn't he? Absolutely fabulous! ♥

OH, MY, YES! Brilliant. Excellent work, old thing, absolutely!

(Alas, mine will seem a poor copy of yours, but I had no idea what you'd written till I came here to read and then post.)

Nonsense, old bean. :-) There is never a 'poor' in the Wooster universe. LOL
Looking forward with great hope and anticipation to anything and everything you write - because it's always creative and wonderful. (And most of all - it's JOOSTER!~!!!) *grin*

Ohh, bless your little buttons!
Thanks for the lovely!

And, yes! Jooster! \o/
