An Apple A Day - A Little Drabble Do Ya

[glennagirl.livejournal.com]

Illya Kuryakin had returned to Headquarters with two apples in his pockets.  At present the fruit was being dissected and analyzed for their content, much to the amusement of his partner.
“So Illya, find anything interesting in those apples?”
The Russian gave an almost imperceptible shake of his head.  Napoleon thought he looked slightly disappointed.
“Nothing out of the ordinary.  It seems that apples are merely … apples.  It was a whim, nothing more.”
“So, how do you feel about that?”
The expression could be likened to a slow burn.
“Are you playing therapist now?”
“Are you playing patient?”
“Blockhead.”

Or those other ones that are open wide

Napoleon reached as far as he could, trying to grab hold of Illya’s hand.

He was dangling on the edge of an Oubliette. If he fell, he’d be lost forever... there was no way out, only in.

“Hang in there,” Solo grunted.

“I am losing my grip,” Illya’s voice echoed.

I welcome-the mouths that burst open after

Solo pulled with all his might, dragging the Russian up and over the edge. Together they lay gasping for breath.

“I thought I was surely going to die.”

“Not if I could help it chum, not today.”

They  looked at each other, bursting out laughing...a nervous release no doubt.

in the deep calm of the human face.

Their eyes met and in that moment, no words were needed.

Napoleon had saved his friends life, and Illya would do the same for him the next time.

They were more than partners, or friends... what they had touched the soul, they were ‘skhozhiye kharaktery_kindred spirits.’ Illya had once said...

Hey, they got the font right...

“The tide’s going out; this is what flooded your chamber,” the woman said, “it leads to the sea.”

Solo licked dry lips, hating the thought of having to swim to freedom.

“Do not worry, my friend, you will be fine, I will make sure of it.” Illya reassured him, knowing how much Napoleon hated being in the water.

The agents lowered themselves into the underground river.

“Are you coming?” Napoleon asked his lady friend.

“No, I must return, be safe my love,” she blew him a kiss and disappeared.

“I guess we follow and see where it leads,” Solo sighed.
