commentfic party, anyone?

LJ refugees! It is Thursday and the internet is failing to entertain. Your mission, should you choose to accept it: COMMENTFIC.

Write or excerpt a thing on the theme of: stuck. Any interpretation, any scenario. Metaphorically, physically, locked in, locked out, handcuffed together, unintentional bodysharing, stranded at an airport, [insert cliche here]. All fandoms, pairings, lengths accepted! Write ten words, or write a couple thousand.

GO. \o/?

The Class - Kat & Ethan

First thing I've written in months. Jeezy creezy.

"How did you even --"

Ethan's eyes are wide, and Kat can already see a smirk developing at the corners of his mouth. He probably thinks he's being all un-emotive and shit, but he's failing miserably.

Then again, he actually has a full range of motion, unlike Kat, whose right arm is decidedly stuck to the bar at McCall's Pub.

"If I knew that, do you think I'd be in this position?"

"But you're stuck...to a BAR."

Only one arm is stuck, which means Kat can still take a swing at Ethan if he comes close enough. But he doesn't, the smart bastard. Instead she scrunches up her face and tries to figure out if she's within kicking distance. In the meantime, she'll distract him with banter.

"I have special skills."

"Obviously."

"Shut up. Yes, I'd totally make a lame-ass X-Man, but I'd still be cooler than you."

"Says the woman who's stuck to the bar."

"Stop mocking and come help me. You're a doctor -- serve and protect, dude."

"That's the police."

Eventually they manage to get pry her arm from the wood, but not before Ethan pulls out some ninja move, swooping in close like he's going to kiss her. Which hi, is totally not on.

"Argh, what you doing!" Kat yells, trying to pull away, but there's only so much lee way she has before ending up a human pretzel, or with her ass on the floor (and with her luck, an arm still attached to the bar above).

But instead of kissing her, he kisses the top of her head like she's a damn child.

When she finally manages to un-squick herself, Ethan's got her arm un-stuck and is carefully leaning against bar looking smug.

"What was that all about?"

"Nothing. Just the highlight of my week."

Kat punches him in the arm and moves to kick him too, but pulls back before making contact. Ethan flinches and Kat grins.

"And that was the highlight of mine."

Thank you! It really is a fandom of like, four people, but they always seem to be my go to when I try to write something after a long absence. :)
