Post the last sentence you wrote (fanfic / original / anything) and tag as many people as there are words in the sentence.
βHey, Monkey, you got a sec?β
βProbably not. What do you want?β Technically a question, but Monk's voice is flat. He doesnβt look up from his... Well, it looks like some sort of tome. But Owen isnβt really a book kind of guy, so he doesnβt bother trying to identify it beyond that. Heβs also pretty sure Monk doesnβt actually want an answer, but if heβs going toβtechnicallyβask, then itβs not Owenβs fault if he gives one anyway.
βJust wanna show you something. Come on, itβll be fun,β he says with a lazy grin. He leans an elbow on top of Monkβs seat, a ratty recliner in Khattβs basement that probably had enough cushioning to be comfortable a couple decades ago.
Owen doesnβt need to see Monkβs face to feel the derision of his eye roll; heβs more than familiar with it by now. Thereβs something comforting about that familiarityβhow it was born from the trials and tribulations that led them to the wonderful friendship of their present. He could almost sigh.
βIf you take your pants off, Iβm leaving.β
βI just wanted to know if I should see a doctor!β Owen pouts and drapes himself over the chair, just enough to annoy Monk to the perfect degree of distraction, but without getting his eyebrows burned off again. Itβs a delicate balance. An art, practically. βAnyways, itβs cooler than that. Well, almost.β
Monk sighs and closes hisβin Owenβs opinion, comically oversizedβbook with a loud thump. He turns to Owen, levels him with his most unimpressed stareβlooking as unimpressed as Monk usually does is impressive in and of itselfβand finally rises from the chair in a way that is actually, genuinely, a little bit intimidating.
βMake this worth my while.β
