“Here we go Commander” - (challenge ficlet)
“Here we go Commander”
Wolffe froze as his General handed him a flat wrapped parcel.
“Er, thank you sir” he stammered after several moments as he looked open mouthed and bewildered at the neatly wrapped gift Plo had just handed him.
He carefully opened the soft paper to reveal a folded t-shirt.
Wolffe looked up at Plo who just gave him an encouraging nod of the head so Wolffe continued to unwrap it.
He unfolded the white t-shirt and held it against his armoured torso to to reveal a picture of a cute but grumpy looking cartoon wolf cub with the words ‘I don’t do mornings’ written across the bottom.
Wolffe looked at it for a few seconds before he frowned, his mouth opening and closing as he tried to find the words.
“Um” was all he managed.
“It’s you!” said Plo happily
“Me?”
“Yes”
Wolffe nodded and chewed the inside of his mouth for a bit.
“Ok, so, wow, um, this is how you see me?”
Plo inclined his head.
“Well you can be quite the challenge before your first cup of caf in the morning Commander”
Wolffe nodded gently, even he had to concede that truth.
“Thank you” he managed uneasily.
“And look at his grumpy little face!” said Plo pointing “he looks adorable”
“Hmmf” was all Wolffe could manage before his questioning frown deepened. “You think I look adorable?”
Plo hesitated, and despite his breather mask and tall build, he managed to squirm on the spot under Wolffe’s enquiring look.
“Well, ...yes” He tilted his head slightly “and I’ve seen you sleeping commander” he added pointing at the wolf pup and waggling his covered claw at how the pup was sprawled languidly with one leg in the air it’s tongue hanging out.
Wolffe went to say something and then paused.
“Hang on, when have you seen me sleeping?”
“It will be ideal for you to wear to bed” said Plo hurriedly. “most comfortable I would imagine”
“Hmm” scowled Wolffe, “Thank you sir”
“You see!” chuckled Plo with apparent amusement pointing at Wolffe’s scowl and then back to the grumpy faced pup.
Wolffe sighed with exasperation and looked at the picture again. He raised his eyebrows in a defeated manner.
There was no denying that it was like looking in a mirror.
Part 2 is my own fanart of Wolffe in his t-shirt modelling it for an insistant Plo.
Because he's grumpy and a tad camera shy he's got his helmet on.
