PotC Drabble - Happiness.

[order_of_chaos]

Title: Happiness.
Author: order_of_chaos
For jedipirate, to cheer up her Norrie!muse after she let the Black Bunny of Angst at him.
Pairing: Well, I never outright say it's Sparringon, but...
Rating: PG-13
Summary: A reunion.  No words, one kiss.  Happiness with not-quite-invisible shadows of past angst.
Warnings: Slash.  No, wait - I don't outright say that, either.  Drabble.
Disclaimer: PotC=notmine.

What is happiness?

Lover not missing not dead but alive to laugh at him and fling arms around him and knock him endlessly off-balance.  Heartbeat steady against his own.  Breathing unsteady, but for all the right reasons.  Body warm and pliant, melting like chocolate in his grasp, only twice as addictive, and bright bright smile tipped up to meet his own.  Rare stillness settling over them as their lips meet and James relaxes for the first time in months.  Then finally, finally, lazy-sweet slow exploration of each other’s mouths where words like I missed you go unspoken but not unheard and the whole world is just the two of them, together.  And will stay that way – two together - in laughter or tears or disaster or joy.  

What is happiness?  What should it be, but this?

:::::sigh::::: That's just lovely. I really adored this: Rare stillness settling over them as their lips meet......it says so much with so few words...the alliteration of '...stillness settling..." Beautiful! *G*

Oh, my. So Joycean. It reads like Penelope in "Ulysses".
*quotes*
"Yes, I will, yes."

"... words like I missed you go unspoken but not unheard and the whole world is just the two of them..."

Awwwww! *loves* That was absolutely wonderful! And now I feel all fuzzy and wish I could be like James. In love. Ah well...

*worships you*

Awwww! Eeeeeee! ^_^ *glomps you* *snuggles with fic* That's wonderful!

My muse is officially purring. ^_^!!

Lovely! I like the stream-of-consiousness feel of it, particularly the first line, which is probably the most Sparringtonish bit :)

And may I say that I covet your icon, because I really do.. covet it, I mean. That's brilliant too!

Ahhh... that kind of happiness sounds lovely, and is so well deserved.

More importantly, an excellent distraction from having to do school work!

That was really good.
I like the emotions and wording a lot.

Very sweet and loving, just like our guys.
A good antidote to the angst bunny. Maybe this comes just after-wards, and Jack woke up. Well, we can dream, right?

I love this. Plain and simple. Use of language and stream of consciousness is perfect... My favorite bit is probably words like I missed you go unspoken but not unheard and the whole world is just the two of them, together, but the last line made me smile in a "that's exactly right" kind of way, too.

Yes, yes, happy JamesMuse. I enjoy the sweet stillness of this. Happy JamesMuse makes me happy too.

Oh so sweet and happy! Surely happiness will abound for any JamesMuse when reading this...

Order_of_chaos, if that's the way you write to make our Jamesmuses happy: could you do one for me? Mine is being bitchy as of late, and I can't come out with a good one to save my life. Damn DMC! I miss our proper commodore! *gose off and cries*

I loved it by the way. "words like I missed you go unspoken but not unheard," I'm stealing that by the way, just so you know!
