Rating: G
Characters: Lester/Lyle, Abby
Authors Note: Lyle belongs to![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
fredbassett who also beta-read. Susan Lester belongs to fififolle . This is a follow-up to Softly, Softly.
"James, I've been sleeping with Abby."
It wasn't the content of Lyle's admission, spoken in their bedroom just before sleep claimed him, that bothered Lester. He had expected that Lyle, at some point, would miss the comfort offered by a woman’s body. He himself still relished the hugs Susan gave him when he visited her and the children. Hugs were a lot different to sex but... well, that thought was for another night.
It was the admission itself that bothered him and wasn't that just fucked up?
Lying in the dark, Lester realized he would rather have just stayed there.

on 2009-01-04 04:27 pm (UTC)Yup. I know Lyle wouldn't lie to him, and really, Lester is okay with the abstract idea of it. But he's not handling the reality of it so well!

on 2009-01-04 06:43 pm (UTC)Sorry, sorry. I didn't even intend for this but I just couldn't imagine Lyle keeping it from Lester! The stupid sod...

on 2009-01-04 10:34 pm (UTC)very very very nice.
see, slash doesn't have to be explicit. (that's to everyone) ;)
this is a nice conversation.
>Lying in the dark, Lester realized he would rather have just stayed there.
meaning, he would've rather been left in the dark on that matter? or am I misreading the closing line?
no subject
on 2009-01-04 11:07 pm (UTC)And yes, Lester would rather have stayed in the dark on the matter. You read it right. Was actually worried if it was going to come across correctly.

Loved the last line.

Thank you. Had some angst there with it as I wasn't sure it worked the way I needed it to work.

on 2009-04-03 11:36 pm (UTC)I love whipping that icon out at random moments just to make people lose higher brain functions. *eg*
And, um, the series really isn't over yet. It totally begs for more and I've started two different versions of the next part. Just have no idea when I'll finish the one I decide I like best LOL.
So, stay tuned!
Thanks again for all your comments. It's a kick when someone new finds your stuff. :-)
