Drabbles: Being Human

Gah! These are horribly late! I asked for prompts about a month ago, and I've finally gotten around to them.
Two drabbles here, both relatively gen, one is slightly slashy if you squint. Apologies to
cruentum and
alba17 that you had to wait so long for these.
Pairing: Mitchell/Owen
Rating: PG
Prompt:
cruentum asked for this pairing with the prompt Owen: I am not who you think I am
Smiling benignly, Owen sips his tea, regarding Mitchell over his mug. They have to go – him and his boyfriend. Even though he's humoured Mitchell's excuse about the DVD, he can't have the neighbours upset. Sizing up Mitchell's wiry frame he smiles again. He's prepared for a fight if necessary. Scrawny Irish tosser'd never know what hit him.
*
Mitchell calmly observes Owen: tiny twitches in his forearm as he unconsciously clenches his fist; the mask-like appearance of his fixed smile; and flashes a grin. He's quit tearing people apart for fun, but for Owen he'd gladly make an exception.
Pairing: Mitchell/George
Rating: PG
Prompt:
alba17 wanted something about this pair with the prompt University
An impossibly beardy Open University presenter closes another programme and George sighs. “I wish I'd gone to university.”
Mitchell suppresses a smirk. “What would you have studied? Veterinary science?”
“Shut up!”George barks irritably, folding his arms.
“I went for a bit. Manchester. 1973.”
George regards Mitchell incredulously. “You? Went to university? What did you study?”
“I didn't really go for the lectures...” he breaks off. “So, what would you do?”
“I've always fancied History, actually.”
Mitchell quirks an eyebrow. “Well, I'm pretty much living history. You can study me if you like”

Date: 2009-05-07 08:04 pm (UTC)The end of the last drabble was great, and such a Mitchell thing to say. And I do like the idea that Mitchell would want to tear Owen apart, even if he holds it back.

Date: 2009-05-07 10:27 pm (UTC)I try not to think about it too much, else I might end up breeding a whole AU where Mitchell is causing a murderous one-man crimewave around Manchester and giving Gene the runaround. I can picture an interrogation in Lost and Found in my head just a liiiittle bit to clearly for my own sanity...

Date: 2009-05-08 07:25 am (UTC)I might jot some ideas down around the interrogation and maybe post it as a one-off. I should get down what Gene's shouting at me, I guess, before he stomps off in a huff.

Great little snippets!
