I was challenged by a good friend of mine to write ten different drabbles based on songs that were picked by my shuffle feature on iTunes. This is one of them.
Based on the song: The James Bond Theme Song
Word Count: 278
Bond. James Bond. - DG/Cain
Agreeing to sit with DG in the garden while she sketched was probably something Cain should have put a little more thought into. To any normal person, sitting in a garden and watching over the youngest princess would have been an insanely easy assignment. That is, of course, if they didn't know the youngest person. But Cain did know DG and he also knew of her tendency to spend the entire time spent outside singing and humming under her breath. Cain didn't mind the singing, he could deal with it, except today he'd woken up late, stubbed his toe on his nightstand while getting ready and had left his trusty fedora in his room in his haste to meet the princess. All of these events and now the singing-cum-humming had him at his wits end.
Cain took a deep breath, closing his eyes as the princess started in on another song. No singing this time, just humming and he opened one eye to peek at her.
"Forget the words, princess?"
"There are no words. It's the James Bond theme song."
"I don't know what that means."
"James Bond is a Secret Agent. He's had books, comics, and movies about him. He's so good, he gets his own song. It's usually played while he's sneaking around, fighting crime and defeating the bad guy who's usually trying to destroy and/or take over the world."
Cain nodded once and then continued his survey of the surroundings.
"Kind of reminds me of you a bit, but he has better fashion sense." She paused. "Maybe I should make up a theme song for you, Cain."
"Absolutely not."
"And I have perfect fashion sense."
