Primeval drabble: Surprise Insecurities

Title: Surprise Insecurities
Author: knitekat
Word Count: 100
Characters: Connor Temple
Rating: 12
Disclaimer: Primeval belongs to Impossible Pictures. Certainly not me. Writing for fun and will replace.
A/N: For the P100 challenge 331: Magnetic. Part of my Making An Impression drabble series and follows Self-doubts. Thanks go to Fred for looking this over for me, *hugs*.


To find out James harboured the same self-doubts as Connor did about being left was... well, shocking to say the least. James had always been what Connor thought of when people referred to a magnetic personality. He could gain the attention of a room merely by entering it, swaying people to his side and point-of-view through his command of language and people-skills.

He'd never thought to make the effort to reassure James, he'd never realised he needed too. Maybe he owed Burton something for making him aware of James' fears, but... fuck, he wished the bastard would leave them alone.

Aaaaaaawwww, sweet! Now Connor knows and they can be stronger together ^_^

Meh, Connor doesn't owe Burton anything.

Very sweet.

Burton doesn't like to lose and certainly not a prize like Connor so they'll still need to be on high alert and watch each other's back... really carefully... yep, careful...

Oh, where was I? Oh, yeah, of course James needs reassurance, Connor. He almost lost you. **knocks heads together and then huggles them both**

Burton has made a big mistake for himself, but at least it has helped our boys

So deep. Beautiful insight in Connor's thoughts in this awful predicament.

Awww. Everyone needs a little reassurance occasionally, even Lester.

Aw, lovely!

Aw! Their relationship is becoming a bit more equal. And, yes, Lester definitely has a magnetic personality.

I'm glad Connor sees that James isn't completely self-assured. It might (in Connor's mind) anyway put James on less of a pedestal.
