Evenin', Everyone.
Well, I've been quiet, but reading here regularly and enjoying it, and writing. Here's a double drabble [100 words each paragraph] that came to me a couple of days ago. Canon, with a touch of potential AU, could have been a lead-in to other things for them. Hope you like it, and don't mind the lack of a third paragraph in the 'game'.
Thanks again.

He had always remained grounded, his feet firmly planted in the brown tones of the earth reflected in his eyes, moving surely from one day to the next. Now he stood naked at the precipice, looking down into blue the color of an evening sky in late summer, with only air between. Heart pounding, his toes curled over the edge, sending stray pebbles into the blue below, making ripples that criss-crossed through the blue and shimmered with reflected sunlight. He hesitated, unsure whether to jump, to leave the safety of the known ground for a flight with an uncertain landing.
Then he felt a hand reach up and caress his cheek, and another hand brush against the back of his neck, fingers roaming through strands of sandy blonde hair, together assuring him softly and silently that everything would be alright. He opened his eyes and saw the man whose arms held him. He opened his heart to the emotions criss-crossing through eyes of blue, and found courage enough for both of them. Leaning down, he felt their lips meet in their first tentative kiss. Casting aside all doubts, he leapt willingly off the cliff and into a lifetime of love.
