Rating: G
Word Count: 100
Prompt: 157 - slash pairings
Characters/Pairing (if any): Larry/Jonathan

He was shorter than Larry, but then, everyone was shorter than Larry. Still, short, built like he’d wrestle at 103 if he wrestled at all, which he didn’t. Had never been athletic, but Larry was okay with that. (Anyway, since the rumors had started to drift Larry’d gotten a pretty good idea where he stood with the jocks.) Soft brown eyes that saw a lot more than they were seen. A little-lost-boy look that Larry wanted to win him out of. And maybe, maybe gay.

After graduation, Larry thought. Everything done. Then he’d finally nerve up and ask Jonathan out.

This is sweet and wonderful and just a little bit sad in knowing what happens. I love the pairing. Well done!

[snickfic]

It's not a pairing I'd have ever thought of on my own, but someone prompted me with it, and then the drabble just wrote itself.

Glad you enjoyed. :)

Aww!
So cute.

[snickfic]

Glad you liked. :)

[deird1]

Lovely. And ever so slightly tragic...

[snickfic]

Yes to the tragic. I just rewatched "Graduation" last night, and was sad at how inconsequential Larry's death was. 'Cuz by the end I liked him quite a bit (especially having seen his alter ego in "The Wish").

Glad you enjoyed. :)

Aww, this is so sweet and ironic. Larry :(

[snickfic]

The Buffyverse is not short on irony.

Glad you liked. :)

That last paragraph? Awwww, poor Larry.

since the rumors had started to drift Larry’d gotten a pretty good idea where he stood with the jocks. I thought, based on a conversation Larry had with Xander, that the jocks were not being all assholey about it. He was pretty much in a place where everyone was cool with him, which sounds unlikely, I know.

Even with that bit that's non-canon but actually more realistic than canon, I like this story.

Soft brown eyes that saw a lot more than they were seen. Excellent description of Johnathan.

[snickfic]

It's true about the canon questionability. I wrote this to a prompt when I hadn't seen S3 in quite a while. But I'm glad you enjoyed it anyway. :)

Oh, those final thoughts just tug at the heart. I really wasn't expecting that little twinge.

Well done, dear.

[snickfic]

Hooray for unexpected twinge! The end is everything in a drabble, IMO.

Thank you. :)

I loves me some Larry fic, and this is so sweet and sad.

[snickfic]

Aw, thank you! (Is there a whole subgenre of Larry fic out there? 'Cuz I'm rather fond of him, too, but I hadn't seen much.)

[riccadonna.livejournal.com]

Ah, this is really sweet and sad, I'd never thought I could be moved by such a pairing, brava!

[snickfic]

Yay, thank you! It's not a pairing I'd have ever come up with, but someone prompted me with it and then it sort of wrote itself. :)

This is bittersweet knowing Larry and Jonathan's fates. Nice work.

[snickfic]

Bittersweet indeed, especially considering how short a time Larry has left. I'm glad you enjoyed it. :)
