Challenge Drabble the Third

[catslash]

And now, in a complete one-eighty, I present you with Fake People Fic! kleenexwoman requested George/Marty.

DISCLAIMER: Back to the Future was created by Robert Zemeckis and Bob Gayle. Has nothing to do with me.

WARNING: Why, yes, that does mean that the below drabble contains implied incest intended to desecrate your fond childhood memories! Enjoy!


Marty waits for years for George to remember. He has to, Marty thinks, he can't have just forgotten that night in 1955. Thirty years isn't that long. A hundred years wouldn't be long enough.

He is ever aware, searching for hints in George's conduct, maybe something in the shape of lingering eye contact or a lengthy hug, maybe something smaller than that. He tries it himself, even, initiating borderline appropriate contact, and gets nothing, not even the slightest blink.

Never once in those years of waiting does it occur to him that a lack of reaction can speak for itself.

Whee!
I like this. Different perspective on a practically fanon event...and just on the border of angsty. Very well-done.

(will you post this on bttf_slash plz?)

Thanks. I wanted to try a different angle. I hope I sufficiently got across the possibility that George does, in fact, remember but is restraining himself - I fought with that last sentence for like twenty minutes and even resorted to consulting the AppleWorks thesaurus. Well, whatever came across, I'm glad you liked.

I shall post to bttf_slash shortly. =D
