Equilateral
Prompt: 300 Prompts Celebration Bonus Prompt, Triple
Summary: Three outside views on Ian and Charlie's relationship.
Notes: I went for a different sort of style, here, with three 100-word segments that make up one story.
Amita froze, the office door half-open, when Edgerton caught her eyes. Charlie, leaning over his desk, was oblivious. She backed away quietly, wary, pinned by that cold, assessing glare. She ground her teeth at finding him here, but avoided a confrontation.
Suddenly Charlie straightened from his desk, eyes alight with the excitement of a new discovery, and Edgerton's gaze slid away from hers, eyes softening with affection at the rush of babble from his lover, explaining the breakthrough.
Amita took a deep breath, making herself scarce while Edgerton was distracted, still unable to reconcile the idea of the strange couple.
Colby paused at the door, hearing familiar voices and wanting to avoid interrupting. The team - plus Edgerton - were about to head out on what was probably going to be an weekend-long hunt, after all, and they deserved a proper goodbye.
Colby flushed a little, hearing their conversation, though he didn't mean to eavesdrop, and moved away to wait. It wasn't long before Edgerton was striding out, Charlie at his heels, stopping him for a last kiss.
Colby averted his eyes, smiling slightly. He still didn't quite understand whythey were such a great match, but he was happy for them.
Larry leaned against the doorframe, watching the couple in the garage.
They weren't doing anything that particularly displayed their status asa couple, currently, but they were still fascinating.
Ian had noticed Larry instantly, but he merely raised a brow in question, then ignored Larry when he remained in the doorway.
Charlie chuckled as Ian tossed a file aside and leaned over his shoulder to point out something on the boards.
Charlie waved his hands away, still laughing as he explained the expression. Ian wrapped his arms around Charlie's waist.
Larry had been the only one unsurprised by their relationship.
