A little bit of Numb3rs in the night...

[oddegg]

A little drabble for Numb3rs100.
Which I did in about a minute ::huffs on fingernails, polishes on shirt:: (*g*)

Title: Set a Thief
Pairing/Characters: Colby/David
Rating: G
Summary: Someone observes and draws conclusions.
Word Count: 100
Notes/Warnings: As well as the main pair, there's hinted don/charlie, 'cos I just can't leave those boys alone!
Disclaimer: Not even close to being mine.


Don wonders.
Do they think people don’t know? Sometimes he just wants to say to them
“This is the FBI, guys. We’re trained to observe!”

Colby even smelled of David’s cologne this morning.

Don sits at his desk and notices the small pass Colby’s finger makes over David’s as he passes him coffee. The tiny smile David gives him back. He catches Megan’s eye and raises one brow but she just looks puzzled, and it occurs to him –

Is he just better at spying these clandestine signals than the others?

And what does that say about him? Him and Charlie?

Excellent work here, and the last line packs a punch.

Thank you! It's harder than I thought to hit 100, no more, no less. And I never really fancied Colby for a fic before.

Mind you, that was before I read entangled_now's 'The Inappropriate Ass Fondling Gun Story'. All gun and no knickers !Slut Colby - I can go for that!

Lovely !

Yay, Colby/David fic! I just adore these two - they crack me up with their cuteness every time they're on screen together!

And I love how we're seeing it through Don's eyes, too.

Glad you like it - and the fact that it's Don.

I'm gonna have to try something Numb3r'y without one of the brothers Eppes in it soon though.

(But that might lead to withdrawal symptoms, maybe I should just cut down slowly?)

I liked this a lot until I got to the last line.

Then I LOVED it.
