Okay, I give in. I've been trying to avoid this meme but I keep seeing it and I'm a pushover, but you all knew that right? Also, my flist is pretty small so how many requests could I get?

I'll also post this when I know castalie is at work as I know she'll laugh at me ;)

Give me a slash pairing and situation and I'll write you a ficlet. My fandoms are popslash, TS and MX.

Just don't expect much okay? *g*

Here you go hon. It's not a pairing I've ever done before so I hope I did it justice for you :)

Again, split in two for length, sorry.

Part 1

“Can you remember the time you and Kevin got into that catfight? Everyone thought he was gonna cream you. But you just got into his face about dissing your band.” Laughing softly in remembrance, Howie reached for another carrot, smiling his thanks when Lance passed one across the table. “You looked like a little wild cat, all gleaming eyes and white teeth.”

His own carrot held firmly in his hand, Lance pointed it at Howie. “One, I never got into catfights. Two, even if I had there was no way that Kevin would have creamed me. I may have been smaller back then but I was no pushover. Three, dissing? I think you’re thinking about Justin, I didn’t talk like that. Four…well maybe I can be a wildcat at times” Lance punctuated each point with a jab toward Howie, then bit the end off the carrot with sharp perfect teeth.

Howie wrenched his brain away from the images of Lance’s lips wrapped round the carrot with difficulty, squirming in his chair a little as Lance watched him without the hint of a smile, only his eyes showing how amused he really was. “Tease, and you did have catfights. Between you and Kirkpatrick I’m surprised we didn’t kill each other back then, I know Kevin nearly lost it a few times.”

“Well Kevin shouldn’t be such a prissy bitch.” Holding up his hand Lance stopped Howie as he started to talk. “And before you start I like the guy. I wouldn’t invite him here all the time if I didn’t, but he does get a stick up his ass on occasions. But I like him fine; just the same way you like Chris even though he broke our blender last time he was here and can be a hyperactive idiot at times. Do you think we need more peppers in this?”

The bowl Lance indicated was three quarters full of salad and Howie looked at it thoughtfully, matching salad amount with numbers of guests coming. “Maybe one more yellow one. JC likes those; he says they remind him of sunshine and warmth.”

“You talked to C?” Lance sounded surprised as he went to get another pepper.

“He phoned this morning, wanted to know what time we were firing up the BBQ.”

“And that led to a conversation about yellow peppers?”

“Yeah.” Scooping the chopped carrot up, Howie dropped it into the coleslaw he was making and tried to remember how they had ended up talking about yellow peppers. “We talked about the BBQ then he started telling me how he’d been shopping yesterday. Apparently there’s a new vintage clothes shop just opened that all the cats love. He’s bought you a shirt by the way; he’ll be bringing it tonight. Then he started talking about Chris’ t-shirt with the chillies on the front, which somehow led to peppers then…argh, I don’t know.”

“That sounds like C alright.” Laughing, Lance started to deseed the pepper. “Did you remember to get those tiny hot dogs for Bri and Chris?”

“Yes I got them. I saw your note on the fridge, and the reminder in my Palm.” Laughing, Howie walked round the table to stand behind Lance and cuddle him from behind. “I’ve bought everything you said. Joey’s beer, Nick’s favourite soda, the low

Part 2

fat burgers Justin and Kevin like. The guest rooms are all aired out for when we inevitably have drunken guests crash here and I even bought band aids with Sponge Bob Square pants on in case the kids have any accidents. The party will be a success, they’re our friends, things don’t have to be perfect.

“Want to bet Chris, Nick and Justin will have those band aids on by the end of the night?” Sighing, Lance leaned back against Howie. “You’re right. I just want it to be special you know.”

“I know. But it would be special even if it was just us, two dry buns and a can of cheap hot dogs. I just want to be with you, and remember back when. Our friends being here is just a bonus, so don’t worry so much. We’re going to have a wonderful BBQ and celebrate our anniversary in style. Maybe I’ll tell the others how I fell in love with a wildcat with gleaming eyes and white teeth.”

“I think they know that one already.”

“So I’ll tell it again. I love you Lance Bass and I don’t care who knows it.” Hugging Lance tighter for a moment, Howie kissed him against his neck then stood. “The marinade should be ready now; I’ll go and get it while you tell me again how you would have won a fight with Kevin.”

Eeeeeeeeee! Oh, it's wonderful, thank you so much! :-D I love it and I want to have its little Mochaminty babies. Heeeeeeeeeeeeee. :))))))))))))))

Thank you for the comment!

Mochaminty babies, I want some too!

I'm so glad you liked it, like I said it's a pairing I hadn't even thought about before *g*

I loved it, too. Lovely. Howie was wonderful, Lance was lovely, and I loved Chris and Kevin, even in their absence.

it's a pairing I hadn't even thought about before

Sadly, that seems to be how it is in much of the fandom. ::frowns:: I don't understand why. They're both pretty, and famous, and they go to the opening of everything from restruants to clubs to envelopes. More people should write them.

::nods::

Thank you!

I'm glad you liked everyone, it was difficult judging how much to mention any of the others without taking anything away from Howie and Lance.

I figure if they're sitting cooking they'll be talking about people they know, so I used the opportunity to sneak Chris and Kevin in ;)

About the Howie/Lance thing. I know I didn't think about them because my mind was focussed almost totally on Chris and Kevin. Even if I did write them with someone else, like Lance or Nick it was those two I was thinking about.

Then I got my sesa and had to write Nick/JC, JC/Joey then these ficlets have thrown up some pairings I certainly haven't thought about. I've a AJ/Joey on my list still!

LOL, this is a long way of say that I can see the appeal of pairings outside of the Chris and Kevin ones now.

So yes, more people should write Howie/Lance, I totally agree!

Awww...

..This one was tons o' fun, too; I love your Lance, he's a wonderful cross of uber-organized control freak while simultaneously being the sweet Southern gentleman... ..very nice. And Sweet Howie D, too, of course.

[turps33.livejournal.com]

I must admit to having an eeep moment when Noora asked for this, but I think it came out okay.

I could just see Lance and Howie making salad etc and talking across the table. And yeah, Lance is a control-freak but Howie would have it no other way. Plus he makes up for it in lots of other ways! ;)

I'm glad you enjoyed it!
