Seven (but is it really) Sentence Sunday

Yes, I’ve given up with picking six sentences at the moment. No, I’m not sure if that will last, but we move! 

Thank you @aroace-genderfluid-sheep​ and @confused-bi-queer​ for the tags today!

I’m back with more from my COTTA 2023 piece, and this is the most ‘pantser’ story I’ve every written. We’re just going with pure vibes, baby (and the plot of The Road to El Dorado, but details!). I’m writing during Camp NaNoWriMo, and yet again, NaNo continues to show me just how much I can actually write if I put my mind to it. 12,500 was my word count goal for the whole of July ... and I’m already at 7,683!

So, without further ado, have a bit of Dev and Baz being absolute nightmares and embarrassing the shit out of Niall.

“What the hell happened to you out there today?” my cousin asks, giving me that patented Pitch eyebrow raise.

“Rope burn,” I say. I don’t mutter it, I certainly don’t mumble. I just don’t say it as loudly or clearly as I could have.

“You and Snow getting into the kinky shit now, are you?” Dev sneers, and Niall smacks him in the side.

“Wouldn’t you like to know,” I say, turning my back on them. “Running out of ideas for the bedroom?”

“Baz!” I glance back to see Niall has turned a shocking shade of red. It’s nothing compared to when Snow works up to a bluster, but I’ll give Niall his dues, he’s pretty close.

“It’s the twentieth century, Niall. Don’t tell me you’re still embarrassed by the sight of an uncovered ankle. Something tells me you’ve seen far more of my cousin than that.”

With that, I leave Niall gasping and gaping like a fish, trying to formulate a comeback, and Dev eyeing him in a way that tells me he’s imagining more than just Niall’s ankles being uncovered. 

It’s double the promised ‘seven’ sentences this Sunday, but I couldn’t leave off half this conversation. Some of it just demanded that shred more context. but a shred is all you’re getting 👀🙈
