Hi! Back with the latest drabble. This one's short and fluffy despite the prompt word :)
Drabble 3: Embalm
Being a dedicated writer often meant doing your research, and a lot of it. Otherwise your story's believability would be shattered by those knowledgeable on the subject. So Shauntal often found herself looking up things related to her current story. This would often lead to its own interesting diversions, or at least to some very strange subjects.
"Why are you Googling embalming?" asked Marshal, when he popped in after his run. His sweaty scent was strangely fragrant as he peered over her shoulder.
"Because I need it for my story," Shauntal explained. "You see, the killer used to embalm bodies, so I need to know how it's done..."
"Can I watch?" he asked.
"Why?" Shauntal asked. "Do you want to learn about embalming too?"
"No," Marshal answered. "I just like to spend time with you. Because I love you."
"I love you too," Shauntal said with a smile. "Okay, you can stay if you want. It'll probably be pretty boring, though, so leave whenever you want."
"Okay," said Marshal.
Marshal stayed there for the whole two hours. The only reason the research was taking that long was because he kept on cuddling her. Sometimes she rued the days she kept her door unlocked.
She didn't rue them enough to actually keep her door locked, though.
IIIIII
Well, hope you guys are enjoying things so far! We have a mix of fluffy and more serious drabbles, so let us know what kinds of drabbles you want. The default is fluff for now, unless you want otherwise. Also feel free to give us ideas/prompts for future drabbles, though there are 20-some now so it'll be awhile before any new ideas get posted. I want to post the challenge drabbles before any new stuff, and there's one for each letter so...yeah. XD But hey, ideas are welcome anytime!
