If You Mustache

Summary:

Gurathin tries a new look.

For the Drabble December prompt "drones".

Notes:

(See the end of the work for notes.)

Work Text:

A drone hovers centimeters from my face; Murderbot must be back on Preservation.

What is THAT?

What?

The small fauna that crawled onto your upper lip and died.

It’s a mustache; you’ve seen mustaches before.

Not on you.

I’m trying something new.

I leave for ONE 14-cycle work contract and you “try something new”??

I'm guessing you don’t like it?

I do not.

For any reason or just because it’s different?

It’ll feel scratchy when we kiss.

You don’t know that. You haven’t kissed me yet.

Notes:

This silly little drabble literally came to me in a dream. I woke up, scrambled to jot something down in the notes app on my phone, and went back to sleep. This morning, when I checked it, the note just said:

"Mustache
What is that
What?
Don't be ah idiot"

 

...nailed it.
