The first FIVE (I'll take more than five, I'm feeling productive) people to comment in this post get to request that I write a drabblish thing of of any pairing/character of their choosing (within reason, people. Within reason :P). In return, they have to post this in their journal, regardless of their ability level. (If you absolutely can't write, I don't see why you wouldn't be able to offer drabbles, drawings or icons or something instead.)

Jason/Spinelli - Jason chooses Spin over Michael - Pt 1

[csi-sanders1129.livejournal.com]

He’s been waiting up for Spinelli for hours now, he’s about ready to send out search parties if he doesn’t hear something soon. It’s at half past three that the door creaks open and a muddy and wet and possibly bloody Spinelli slips into the dark of the penthouse. Michael is just behind him, looking similarly disheveled. It is clear that neither expects to be watched.

“Where were you?” Jason demands, launching himself off the couch. He bypasses Michael and goes straight for Spinelli who looks rather worse for wear.

“The Jackal, ugh,” Spinelli starts, sounding exhausted even with just those few words. “That is, Young Michael and I ended up in a bit of a, ugh, muddy, situation with some of his fellow classmates. Namely one Kiefer Bauer.”

Stone Cold eyes narrow. “What happened?” This question is directed not at Spinelli, but rather Michael. Only one of them is prone to fits of potential violence, and it is most definitely not the Ace of Cyberspace.

Michael frowns, his hands shoved deep into his jeans pockets – hiding bloodied knuckles, Jason would hazard to guess. “Hey! He jumped me! I was only defending myself. Then Spinelli showed up and things might have gotten a little out of control, but it was nothing I couldn’t handle, Uncle Jason.” He shrugs the whole thing off, as if it had been no big deal.

Spinelli looks hardly as at ease as Michael, which prompts Jason into further interrogation. “That what happened?” Jason asks his grasshopper.

The hacker bites his lip, glancing sharply at Michael. “Not… entirely.” He admits, which causes Michael to glare and scoff. “He neglected the mention the presence of his opponent’s knife, and also that Kiefer was not the instigator of the attack. It, as it appeared to the Jackal, seemed rather… unprovoked.”

“You’re lying!” Michael protests, pointing an accusatory finger at Spinelli (and, indeed, bloodied knuckles are revealed). “He pulled the knife on me first, I just fought back. I’m no coward; I don’t run from fights like you do.”

Jason watches them argue, trying to sort out the facts for himself.

“I was not running from the scuffle, rather trying to get you out of it before anything occurred that either you or your opponent would soon regret.” Spinelli counters, which gives Jason pause. Spinelli had gone running into a knife fight to keep Michael out of trouble? When had that’s started?

“And look what it got you! I was doing fine on my own!”

“Stop. Enough.” Jason declares, once again turning to Spinelli at the potentially alarming words. “What does he mean ‘what it got you’?”

Intense

I like how this starts with Jason being worried about Spinelli and then escalates into an intense situation with Michael thrown into the mix. There is mounting tension which you build so very well by leaving out bits and pieces of the information as Michael and Spinelli fill Jason in on what happen and yet clearly leave some things out. Great cliffhanger as well.
