#frogerweek2020

“Playing scrabble until 6:00 a.m”

It ends with a moment of euphoria, except it’s not really an end, and it could even be a beginning.

AKA: five times Freddie said no, and one time he said yes.

I wrote a little something for Froger Week 2020, hosted by the lovely @emmaandorlando

The prompt I chose was “quarantined”

“In order to avoid spreading the COVID-19 virus, all citizens are advised to stay in their homes and avoid going outside at all costs.”

Roger sighed in frustration and grabbed the remote.  Surely there was something better on a different channel.  Day in and day out it felt like the news was just a constant stream of “COVID” this and “COVID” that.  And now the rumored lockdown had officially begun.

He knew that staying inside would be the best way to try and keep people healthy, but that didn’t mean he had to be happy about being shut in his apartment until further notice.

“Roger, in case you forgot, it’s your turn to play.”

He looked at the tile rack again and grimaced. Right, that was the problem, how could he make a word with only consonants and so few free vowels on the board? Most importantly, how could he even hope to win now?!

OR: A quiet evening at Roger's house, with his partner and husband Freddie.

Hi! ❤ Happy Froger Week 2020 everyone! 😊 I can't wait to read everyone's work!! Seeing so many new Froger fics makes me very happy 🥰

Anyway, here's one of my contributions to this wonderful event, mixing day 2 prompt "Growing old together" and day 4 "Playing Scrabble until 6 A.M" (and also a bit of last year "50th birthday prompt). The others will come eventually 😂

Thanks a lot @emmaandorlando​ for hosting Froger week 🥰!
