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.

DRABBLE: Not All Gossip Is Malicious

“Heard an entertaining bit of gossip today, old fruit,” Bertie announced jovially as Jeeves delivered the evening splash.

“Gossip, sir?” Jeeves prompted as Bertie tossed back a swallow.

A merry glint sparkled the Wooster eyes. “Yes. Seems a certain bachelor with bad luck at engagements may be pursuing two different girls at the same time.”

Brows high, Jeeves’ eyes widened as he spoke in hushed, scandalised tones, “Really, sir?”

“Sound familiar, Jeeves?” Bertie asked, leaning closer.

“I couldn’t say,” murmured Jeeves demurely.

“Au contraire, mon amour, appears you already did,” teased Bertie, kissing his man with gentle thoroughness. “Excellent work.”
