007. Hold
The men leave her leaning against the wall like a vacuum cleaner. He and his new crazymate could use one with all the tearing she does. Bedspreads. Wall paint. His hair.

"Sorry. Could have sworn I held you hostage before."
Her gaze is jumpy and he feels strangely naked without his mask.
"Hold me."
It is not a question. Vicious flares a nostril. Laughter rises.
She falls into his tensed lap like a doll.
A/N: Apparently Vicious/Jessiebelle is NeedsCounselingShipping. Now you know.
And as for the lengths, james78, since I cannot comment to you directly, a drabble is 100 words. Exactly. There is some debate over the word at large, but that's that. You can Google for more about the term, but I accept the challenge at exactly 100 words, no more and no less. Yeah, I'd love to expand these, especially with some of the couples, but the whole point is to see exactly how you can fit a story into 100 little words. A true challenge for me as I am far too wordy. A lot of thought goes into exactly which words to use, so your suggestion that they are done in a rush is a bit insulting. I nonetheless thank you for your comment and criticism.
