cerealkiller0Title: Arguing with Thieves
Pairing/Characters: Ian, Megan, Don
Rating: PG
Prompt: #187 Debate
Word Count: 300
Disclaimer: I don't own Numb3rs.
Series: Buried Demons
Summary: Ian uses thievery to make a point.
Ian could hear the argument before the elevator doors even opened.
“You need sleep. Go home Don.”
“We've got all of those school personnel files to go through.”
“I can handle it. Ian's on his way in. David and Colby are on their way too. Did you even go home last night?”
The doors opened and Ian stepped out, almost walking directly into Megan, who was watching Don expectantly. Ian glanced over as well.
“I went home.” Don finally replied, not meeting Ian's eyes.
“What for a couple of hours before coming straight back here?” Megan persisted.
“I'm fine.” Don said stubbornly. “And we need to get back to work. That means going to the school, so let's go.”
“Don. Be reasonable. Megan can get the files. You can go. Who are you helping, working yourself into the ground like this?” Ian questioned. Don didn't answer.
“Fine. Don't be reasonable.” Ian muttered before swiftly grabbing hold of Don's arm twisting the man around.
Don jerked in his grip. “Ian, What the hell?!”
They scrambled for a moment, passing agents giving them strange looks before Don finally freed himself and glared furiously at the other man. Megan quirked an eyebrow at Ian wanting to know what he was trying to accomplish, pissing Don off more than he already was.. He met her eyes and grinned, holding up set of keys. Don's keys.
Don gaped for a moment in confusion, patting the pockets of his jeans, unable to believe that he hadn't noticed Ian swiping them. Maybe he really was tired.
“Let me take you home.”
Don finally nodded in defeat. Ian passed off Don's keys to Megan and gestured for Don to lead the way back down to Ian's truck.

Date: 2010-02-12 01:57 am (UTC)please don't take that in a harsh way... I really want to know what you think, but I don't fully get your comment. If it was geared towards the second thing, I'd really like to know. I know this is a bit of an odd format to write a long story in, so if I'm not making sense, then please tell me so I can improve.

Date: 2010-02-12 01:35 pm (UTC)it was a "is don at a breaking point for him and is it going to be good for him?" comment... although i'd take "you should post the next bit", i guess, since that's my ultimate goal: you post more fic, i get to read, i post non-ominous comments so as to encourage you to post more fic... and so the cycle goes!!!
i'm loving this series, completely. you really have me salivating at this don/ian thing (MMMmmm) and i hope i've shown you that in my support!

Date: 2010-02-12 04:06 pm (UTC)Breaking point for Don? Hmmm. He might be just too damn stubborn for that. I feel like the stress of it all might just kill Ian first.... but we'll see how it goes.
More should be up this weekend. Thanks again for commenting...and clarifying in this case ;)
