“Connor?”

“I've almost convinced Burton to trust me.”

“That's good, isn't it?”

“You love me, right?”

“You know I do.”

“I love you too.”

“Connor? What's wrong?”

“I need you to be jealous.”

“I think I proved that the other day.”

“I need you to... well, to hit me.”

“Never.”

“Please, James. I know it will be enough to convince Burton.”

“I might yell at you, Connor, but I will never, ever hit you.”

“He's holding something back, I know he'll tell me if he sees you yell and hit me.”

“I love you, Connor, I could never hurt you.”

Oh, this is both sad and lovely. And very Lester.

Yes, really pulls at the heart-strings - and its tender at the same time.

So nicely done.

Eeeeep! I can imagine the horror on Lester's face

*nods* Lester is not happy about Connor's request. Not at all. Thanks for reading.

Eek! Wah! I can see Lester's horror ...

Sorry. *nods* Lester is not happy about it. Thanks for reading.

Poor Lester- he'll never be able to hurt Connor, even if Connor asks him to.

*nods* Lester won't. No matter what the cost will be.

That's too much to ask, even for James...

*nods* It is far too much to ask him. Thanks for reading.

*passes tissue* Sorry, but Connor had to ask and James had to say no.

Great use of dialogue to create tension in this!

Glad you thought so and thanks for looking at it for me.

Oh, that's a very tricky situation. Will Lester do what he abhorres for the sake of finding out Burton's secrets.

Date: 2011-10-08 04:14 pm (UTC)
From: [identity profile] knitekat.livejournal.com
It is, but I'm not sure Lester would do that even to learn what Burton's up to (and it depends on the next prompt)

*wibbles* I can't decide whether I want Connor to talk James into doing this or not - oh, the angst!

*pets* Connor would have to be very convincing. and it depends on the next prompt

*meep* I imagine that's not something Lester ever expected to be asked to do!

*Sorry* No, Lester never expected to be asked that. Thanks for reading.

Lovely moment between them and liked James being so firm about not wanting to hurt Connor. If it came down to it for saving the world reasons he might be persuaded but I loved his firm resolve here.

Thanks, glad you liked the drabble. James would need a hell of a lot of persuasion and a very good reason (ie saving the world) to even consider doing it. Thanks for reading.

*nods* Lester's certainly not happy with Connor's request. Thanks for reading.

aww, and meep! What are you doing, Connor?

Glad you liked it and that would depend on the prompts *vbg*

Oh, Connor, I don't think it's necesary... and Lester is not going to do it anyway.

*pets*

Connor's still determined to put his plan into action. No, Lester's not going to do that.

Thanks for reading.
