A/N: For the P100 challenge 272: Keeping Secrets. Part of my Making An Impression drabble series and follows The Worst Day In Connor Temple's Life. Thanks go to the ever wonderful Fred for casting her eyes over it for me, cheers.


Matt wondered if the old custom of crossing your fingers for luck was based on fact. He crossed them anyway.

Even before Connor had collapsed when he'd heard the news, he wouldn't have been Matt's first choice for this mission. The younger man had blurted out the truth about the operation before and someone had died; who knew what he'd do in his grief.

Matt sighed, knowing Connor was their only chance for success and he deserved to know the truth – whether James was really dead and if it was Burton's fault.

This was one mission he'd keep secret.

Matt keeping secrets again? He should be careful with those. Poor Connor though, I want to scoop him up and wrap him in cotton wool.

He is, but this time it is more of Connor's secret than his own ;) *nods* I am being mean to Connor.

Thanks for reading.

Matt needed to be careful with this secret.

And poor Connor too *hugs him*

Matt will be, he just hopes Connor will as well.

*nods* Poor Connor needs a hug.

Thanks for reading.

Matt should be careful with this, Connor doesn't need more angst in his life.

From: [identity profile] knitekat.livejournal.com
I'm sure Matt will be. *nods* Connor certainly has enough angst.

Thanks for reading.

Yes, I think this time Connor will keep it secret but Matt's probably right to be worried.

Connor will do his best, this time it is personal ;) Matt is just worried that Connor might let something slip, but Connor has a good incentive to keep his mouth closed this time.

Thanks for reading.

Ah, but this is more Connor's secret *nods*

Thanks for reading.

Hopefully, Matt and Abby were to two who knew something was 'wrong' with Connor.

Thanks for reading.

Um, it isn't Matt's secret, it's Connor's this time.

*nods* They've all got them, but this one Connor has a real incentive to keep. *Connor always needs a hug*

*nods* Matt doesn't trust Philip, so he hopes it all works out for the best.

Uh-oh. I'm not sure keeping secrets is really the best choice in this circumstance. Matt better be careful.

Poor Connor. *Meep* *Huggles him close*

Date: 2012-07-27 07:27 pm (UTC)
From: [identity profile] knitekat.livejournal.com
It possibly is - they are keeping the secret from Philip.

Connor needs a huggle.

Thanks for reading.

Keeping secrets doesn't always work out well but I can understand Matt being worried.

True, but Matt has the best of intentions.

Thanks for reading.
