Title : Not So Bad, After All

Fandom : Primeval
Rating : 15
Characters : Lester/Lyle
Disclaimer : Not mine no money made, don’t sue.
Spoilers : None
Summary : Written for Primeval100 Past Challenge 57, James Lester.

James Lester came awake to the smell of fried bacon emanating from the kitchen of his flat.

There’d been times when he’d wondered whether he was doing the right thing.

Starting a relationship on the rebound from a broken marriage probably wasn’t sensible, but it wasn’t exactly something he’d planned, either.

Last week he’d only had a large lawyer’s bill for company.

This week he had a barely domesticated Special Forces lieutenant, already causing havoc in his life, like an over-grown and persistently muddy puppy.

And he still had access to his kids.

Things could certainly be a lot worse.

Special forces men don't *do* domesticated. I think it's in their contracts, or something.

Poor, confused Lester.

[fredbassett]

You're right about that! I've just started reading Bravo Two Zero and McNab was onto wife 3 or 4 before he'd finished the intro.

[lukadreaming.livejournal.com]

Nice one! I like the thought of Lyle as an overgrown and muddy puppy *g8.

[fredbassett]

He's a caver, we're all muddy puppies :)

*attempts to wipe muddy paws on the mat*

[verito295.livejournal.com]

aww *snickers* I wonder what Lyle would say about being thoughts of as a 'overgrown muddy puppy' I bet he'd probably be quite proud of the not domesticated part :D
Love the touch of confusion and 'domestication' :)
I wonder what would a Lyle's pov be like *tosses lettuce to the bunnies*

[fredbassett]

*Nibbles lettuce*

I'll see what I can do before this challenge ends.

[rospberry.livejournal.com]

But puppies are adorable and affecionate and...ah, yes, I see James' point *grin*.

[fredbassett]

He's probably wondering is Lyle is even house-trained. He'll certainly think that when he hangs filthy rope and kit to dry in the bathroom.

[rospberry.livejournal.com]

Well, then, I'm sure James would have to punish him very severely. Several times. And think of some use for the rope once it's clean. *smiles angelically*

Awwww! :-)

[fredbassett]

LOL, thanks :)

[telperion-15.livejournal.com]

Of course you're doing the right thing, James!

Although you might have to accept the fact that your flat will never be clean again! *g*

[fredbassett]

And that his washing machine will soon have knackered bearings .... Modern technology and cave mud doesn't mix.

[joereaves.livejournal.com]

Awww that's quite sweet in a very Lyle/Lester way.

Love the puppy comment.

[fredbassett]

Glad you liked it!

[adafrog.livejournal.com]

Wonderful.

[fredbassett]

Thanks :)

an over-grown and persistently muddy puppy.
Hee! That's a lovely description of Lyle!

[fredbassett]

LOL, thanks :)

[byrons-brain.livejournal.com]

Mud Puppy Love!

[fredbassett]

LOL :)

[cordeliadelayne]

Awww :D

[fredbassett]

Thanks :)

[fififolle]

OMG! I missed this. And if I hadn't, it might have saved me a lot of soul-searching on Lester's behalf, ahaha. This was delightful, and an emotional rollercoaster, might I add.
'barely domesticated' *snort*
'persistently muddy puppy' muwahahaha! Poor Lester.
Aw, access to his kids. Bloody hell, punch in the guts there.
Brilliant.

[fredbassett]

Thanks, hon. We do collectively like our back-stories, don't we! :)

[fififolle]

Yes we do!

LOL! Did he really expect Lyle to come ready domesticated?

Lester must be very confused. Awesome drabble!

[fredbassett]

He's definitely not house-trained, that's for sure.

[knitekat.livejournal.com]

*snorts* Lyle the overgrown muddy puppy! Aww.. Lester's thoughts re still having his kids and that things could certainly be worst. Need more Lester/Lyle.

[fredbassett]

There is more L/L coming your way in the series.

[knitekat.livejournal.com]

Yes!! Feeds the bunnies and sneaks Fred a cookie (or two).

[sunsetdawn20.livejournal.com]

Awwwwwwwwwwwwwwww. Yes, I could repeat what has been said a hundred times: "barely domesticated" is sweet and "over-grown and persistently muddy puppy" is made of love, but I won't. Um... I just did. Oh well. lol

[fredbassett]

LOL, thanks, hon :)

[neferitiel.livejournal.com]

Lester you're damn lucky :D

[fredbassett]

There are time when he's probably agree. *g*

[darkhorse-99.livejournal.com]

LOLZ at the idea of a barely domesticated Special Forces lieutenant. Especially a muddy one.

[fredbassett]

LOL, well he's certainly not fully domesticated. *g*

[kerry-louise.livejournal.com]

But he's such a cute puppy *g*

[fredbassett]

He thinks so!

[goldarrow]

I don't think I can really add much to everyone else's comments, since they've homed in to the same lines that made me giggle.
But I can say that it was a fun look inside Lester's head as he tries to get used to a new relationship!

[fredbassett]

It was definitely all a bit strange to him at this stage.
