Paper Faces

by SorceressCirce

What lurks beneath masks and elaborate costumes is often a surprise...even to the ones wearing them. When past and present collide, the future is uncertain but inevitable. A tale of two men discovering themselves told in 100-word drabbles. Slash, AH, OOC

A shower erases only so much, but it leaves me feeling more human. I mix a Bloody Mary and lounge on my couch.

The pounding in my head is somewhat dulled when I dial Peter's number. A brief exchange of greetings and then I say, "Hey, sorry I ditched you last night. I…"

I trail off, unwilling to continue.

He laughs. "Yeah, we know. Charlotte saw you going upstairs."

I have no answer. The memories of upstairs are too fresh, too raw to explore.

"Cullen? What were you thinking, Jazz?"

"You know him?"

"You don't?"

"No… I guess I don't."

A/N: Two things I keep forgetting to mention –

First, I did a guest rec on TwiSlash Unveiled this week! If you get a chance, check it out – and then go read IngenueFic's work and leave her some love :) The rec is at http:/twislash(dot)blogspot(dot)com/2010/07/slash-guest-author-rec-sorceresscirce(dot)html

Second, I'm helping run the Plot Bunny Contest going on right now. You can submit plot bunnies as often as you want and request a couple to write. Entries are starting to come in, and we'd love to have yours! Visit http:/plotbunnycontest(dot)blogspot(dot)com/ for more information.
