indeedsir_backupRules: (short and sweet)
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. Thanks.
Indulgence
Everybody needs a bit of pampering or TLC every now and again - or just some time to do the thing they love. Here are some words to kick you off - as ever feel free to use none, all or somewhere in between. chocolate, blanket, wine, bath, massage, food

They had staggered up the actors’ garret after a night of theatre and drinking. The second to make the first tolerable.
“Topping stuff. Try it, Bertie.” Tuppy passed the cup.
“ Now that is a treat. Don’t get much ‘pleasures of the flesh’ these days.”
“Think you’d get more, what with your fancy new valet.”
“So you’d think, but Meadows doesn’t believe in indulgence.”

Bertie is in for such a treat when Jeeves walks in the door...

Date: 2012-05-12 02:43 am (UTC)“Sorry, chums.” Bertie Wooster untangled his long limbs from the friendly pile on the Potter-Pirbright divan. “Can’t stay over for a frolic.”
Catsmeat sighed. “Another indulgence you valet will not permit?”
“He’d be off to my uncle. Or the constabulary.”
“With what proof? “
Bertie shrugged. “One keeps few secrets from the man who does one’s laundry.”
Tuppy shuddered. “You must get rid of the chap.”
“If only. What one did not hire one can not fire.”
“Say he ran off with the neighbor’s maid.” Catsmeat offered, eyes bright with narrative creation.
“Or the neighbor’s silver.” Tuppy amended.
“Smashing! Threaten to call the coppers on him first.”
“And when both servant and service were still at hand? I’d be all the worse off, with a valet bent on revenge.”
“True.” Tuppy rubbed his chins. “Still, there must be something that will work.”
“I could have him coshed.” Catsmeat offered brightly. “I know several rough sorts from backstage. That could get him out of the way for weeks.”
“Pleasant thought, but my uncle would just hire another.”
“Maybe the next valet would be kinder?”
“Hire your own – a nice one.”
“Perhaps.” Bertie retrieved his topper. “But I don’t hold much hope.”

From:Drabble: Reward
Date: 2012-05-12 08:19 am (UTC)I feel the warm, soft waft of his breath before his lips caress the nape of my neck, stirring the fine hair there. I shiver.
"I wish you wouldn't work so hard, love," he whispers.
"You are ample reward, Bertram."

Date: 2012-05-12 09:43 am (UTC)Where my mind immediately went, I don't even know.
As soon as I staggered into realizing how much I needed to be indulged once in a while, Jeeves had arranged everything. I still had no idea where on earth he had acquired the sailor suit I was wearing, so ill-suited to my age and gravity. Then again, I didn't really feel my age, sitting there in Jeeves's lap with my thumb in my mouth as he told me stories, big hands stealthily undoing my various buttons to slide in next to my skin. I shivered and cuddled closer, closing my eyes. I love Jeeves, but I adore my Daddy.

Date: 2012-05-14 06:03 am (UTC)“Won’t you join me? I can’t eat my birthday cake by myself, what?”
“A small slice, then, sir.”
The cake he’d made was covered in thick icing. Improbably, a little of said i. was now smeared on one side of his mouth. I reached to wipe it away and as the intimacy of that act struck me, a second thought galloped in on its heels. This was the impeccable Jeeves; he did not accidentally get icing on his face.
I let my hand drop to his shoulder and drew him to me.
The chocolate tasted even sweeter from his skin.

Date: 2012-05-14 09:50 pm (UTC)With a sigh and slightly slumped shoulders I departed from the boutique, Jeeves settling the purchase of a new dove grey suit.
I glanced sideways to where the same dove grey suit I had just been measured, was displayed. It was a pretty thing and accompanied by a spiffing purple tie.
Something I knew would not pass the doors of W1.
I looked at my reflection in the window and with some effort I took a sunny disposish. If Jeeves was pleased, so was this Wooster.
Surprisingly the next day, after my bath, a grey and purple attire awaited me.

Date: 2012-05-14 11:14 pm (UTC)“I must admit that my back is feeling much improved.”
Speaking of backs, mine is pressing up against his front rather deliciously.
“That may just be the champagne, but I appreciate praise.”
He chuckles, a rare enough sound to thrill me, and takes another sip from the flute.
“It’s lovely, the three of us in the tub together.”
“Three, my love?”
“Well, we mustn’t forget, Ducky.” I say, brandishing the little yellow fellow.
Reginald outright laughs at this, plants a kiss on the delicate Wooster shoulder.
“No, we mustn’t.” he agrees seriously, “Don’t let him have more to drink, though.”

-Sir, would you pass me the towel--
-Yes, yes. Sorry, but the door was unlocked, and... Oh.
-If you could just stop staring, sir--
-Quite, quite, yes. It's just... Oh, sorry!
-Mr. Wooster!
-The floor's a bit slippery, Jeeves, you can't blame a chap for--
-Sir, if you would just remove your hand from my--
-You are slippery too. I say, is this lotion?
-This is terribly improper--
-Hmm, a bit of self-gratification, eh Jeeves?
-Sir, please!
-Well, I can at least help you with that, I suppose...
-Oh. Carry on, sir.
