Only a day late: a little Valentine's snippet from the boys from Favor.
When Micky got back from his Dickens seminar he found a carrier bag propped up against his room door; a thin, plain blue, probably-from-the-student-union, plastic bag. He nudged it cautiously with his foot.
Inside the bag something shifted and clunked against the floor.
Curious, Micky picked the bag up by one handle, holding it at a cautious distance, in case this was someone's idea of a practical joke. April fools was a couple of months away, but when had that ever stopped the muppets he had to share a corridor with? Careful examination didn't reveal any unpleasant smells or dubious textures, so Micky finally peeked inside.
The bag contained a half-sized bottle of Jack Daniels, a burnt cd in a white paper envelope, a couple of condoms, and some Yorkie bars bundled together with an elastic band.
Mickey shrugged shifted the bag over to his left hand, and dug out his key ring. Inside his room, he dumped his rucksack on the desk, and tipped the contents of the plastic bag onto the rats-nest of his unmade bed.
The cd just said 'M', but there was a yellow sticky note trapped under the elastic on the chocolate bars, which Micky had to work free before he could read it.
No girls allowed - see you later - R
It took Micky a moment before he figured out what Rhys was getting at. He turned one of the Yorkie bars around in his hand, ran a finger of the 'no girls' roadsign on its label, and smiled to himself.
Fair game; when he'd said he didn't do Valentine's Day 'cos it was too girly, he hadn't been thinking of this.
