A/N: thanks to those who have said they're liking this so far! I'm really enjoying writing... Drabbles are very therapeutic - I really recommend trying them if you haven't already :) If you're in the mood to read something much better written than my nonsense, I suggest you try Underestimated by Kitty O, or One Hundred by Ultra-Geek, or one of jaqtkd's drabbles from The Eyes To See. Or basically any other drabbles you can find. Everyone's doing them at the moment, so it shouldn't be hard!

Gazes met, faked smiles shared; both so keen to convince the other that neither saw the reflection in their companion's eyes.
