always in a sparrow's flutter.

The bird caught his attention as it flew from the bushes. Something had startled it.
Illya heard a twig snap, and he raised his weapon, aiming at the sound.

There was a rustle, and Napoleon stepped out, zipping his fly.

Sigh. “Next time take a piss somewhere farther away, please?”

Not one, not five--

A shot ricocheted above their heads, then another. Chips of brick rained down on  them as they hid behind their meager cover.

“Why is it we’re always outnumbered?” The American complained.”Why can’t we  be in the majority for once?”

“Keep hitting your targets and we will be.” Illya smiled.

and run, almost proudly, to the slaughterhouse.

As usual, they were outnumbered again. They had a mission to complete at all cost, even if it meant their lives... no choice now.

Napoleon looked into Illya’s cold blue eyes, saying a wordless goodbye. “Shall we  tovarisch?”

“Once more unto the breach, dear friend, once more,” Illya smiled.

is thanks to you.

Napoleon sat his vigil at his partner’s bedside, as he’d done so many times  before.  Illya always managed to pull through, even under the worst of circumstances.

Still Solo worried. There was always that small chance...

Those blue eyes fluttered open, speaking volumes without a word being said.

“Welcome back.”

but most of the fault, my dear brother, is yours.

“Ow!” Illya yelped, “Kindly remove your knee from my back.”

“Can’t... wedged in here like a sardine in a can.”

“Must you make your analogy using food. I am very hungry.”

“You’re always hungry. Never mind...just move to the side.”

“There is no side....ow! You did that on purpose.”

Caring for each other and fighting together, that's what partners are for.

At least in UNCLE...one would hope there's more to life than that for these two.
Thanks for commenting!

You've really got into this, haven't you? I'm enjoying what you're doing with the prompts.

Hi Birthday girl! I'm enjoying writing these very much. I've actually posted 14 chapters on FF.net and am just starting to post them here. They're almost like taking a snapshot, and the prompts are not always easy. I'm trying to keep these going for a while.

Thanks for reading and commenting. Hope you have a nice birthday!

Thank you ma'am. These half drabbles have become addicting and are fun to write, but still challenging of course. Some of the prompts are tough ones, and some very strange when taken out of the context of the poem.

Still on your roller coaster tour?
