Author's Note: Hey, I'm updating this once more! Shock of a lifetime! XD No, I've been busy with other things, but I'm also posting a new chapter of "Tutoring a Holt" right now (already), so don't worry, I'm not neglecting that.
Anyway, a bit of an intro for this one. "Hello, love"- one of the most cliche lines in this fandom, true? Well, I happen to have my own thoughts on this, and since I've never seen anyone else do this before, I decided to make a drabble of it. Hope you enjoy! :D
"Don't call me love."
She was silly, overreacting over a simple moniker. Spitting the words at him like he had deliberately, gravely insulted her. Her tone like poison.
She misunderstood its meaning. Of course- she was American; naturally, she wouldn't realize "love" was merely a friendly term of address in England. She clearly thought he was trying to flirt with her (again), then stab her in the heart (again), when in reality, he meant no such thing.
Again, it was a friendly address! He wasn't saying he actually loved her!
(She was rather pretty, but that was beside the point.)
Author's Note: It really is a friendly term of address for a girl; I looked it up in a fit of geekiness. XD But that doesn't mean he doesn't still like her, heh-heh... I wanted to write something Ian/Amy-ish, but not too much. So this was born. Hope you enjoyed it; I may/may not write more sooner or later. It depends on if I get any ideas for it, so that's why I keep it marked "complete." :)
