So what do you think? Solo looked to his partner.
“Napoleon really?” Illya's face remain emotionless, though the tone of his voice gave away in disdain.
“I want to know your opinion. Tell me what you think?”
The Russian restrained from rolling his eyes this time, and simply stared at the American.
“Come on buddy boy, how hard can it be?”
Illya finally huffed his exasperation.” Fine, my opinion is that I have no opinion.”
“Stop being evasive will you?” Napoleon was beginning to lose his patience.“Why can’t you just help me out here?”
“You are the fashion plate my friend, not I. If I had my way the color would be black and not ….what is that, ‘forest green?”
“Oh that’s right, Mister Man of Mystery, everything with you has to be black. Why am I bothering to ask you?”Napoleon crinkled his nose, making a face at the stubborn blond.
“Well now that you mention it, that is not actually the truth; I am not adverse to a bit of color now and then,”Illya countered.” If you recall, I do have a burgundy blazer and the blue one with the leather lapels and then of course there is my grey suit and my parka is powder blue. Still in this case your choice of color is not exactly my cup of tea. Speaking of which, it is lunch time and I am hungry so will you please make your decision so we can go eat?”
“Here I am asking for your help and all you can think about is that stomach of yours.”
Illya responded with one of his patented blue-eyed stares but when that didn't work he finally gave in. “Fine! Try it on then and let us get this over with?”
“Well you’re not the one who’ll be wearing it.” Napoleon slipped into the garment, smoothing it out with his hands. “So, again I ask, what do you think? Mind you this is just a sample. Del will be custom making one for me, fitted just right.”
“If you must know, the color is a bit too Christmas-like to me… and crushed velvet? Tsk... now a dark burgundy would be much more suitable.”
“You know I don’t like that color chum.”
“So you have told me time and again when I wear my jacket.”
Napoleon picked up another sample, this time it was royal blue with a subtle check print in the fabric.
“Too bourgeois,”Illya snorted.” Why do you need a smoking jacket anyway? You quit smoking a while ago, did you not?”
“Smoking jackets are suave, sophisticated and the ladies love them.”
“Oh the ladies love them? I see. It is not a bit ridiculous as you will probably not be wearing it very long before one of them helps you remove it. It is just a waste of money in my estimation.”
This time Napoleon pulled a warm brown one from the rack, the lapels were black satin and the main fabric had a paisley print that was a slightly darker shade.
“Hmm, this I approve of if, you really must have one.” Illya crossed his arms in front of his chest.
“I think you’re right chum. It brings out the color of my eyes,” Napoleon smiled.
This time he couldn’t help it; Kuryakin rolled his eyes, shaking his head as he walked away....

I don like the story though. I can see Napoleon reclining in his smoking jacket and seducing his chosen lady :-)

Well there's also an aversion I have to Ian Paisley... but that's water under the bridge.
Yeah, Napoleon, a smoking jacket and seduction seem to just go together don't they?
Thanks for reading and commenting. "D
