[echoes]

Title: The Aftermath Of Paperclips And Partial Nudity
Fandom: Merlin RPF
Character/Pairing: Colin/Bradley, appearances by Angel, Katie, and Joe Dempsie
Rating: PG-13
Word Count: ~800
Summary: In which the Paperclip Incident makes stuff happen. Four separate conversations taking place during another one of those Important Meetings. Prequel-type thing to Passing Notes.
Notes: OK, so. doompaw and I wrote this weird comment fic about Katie bullying Bradley, I discussed the repercussions of such an event with thisissirius, and then I ran into this conversation I once had about Bradley being weird with sophieisgod and this baby was born. YOU CAN BLAME THEM FOR THIS.

Also, while you're here: facesofbradley (run by thisissirius and lonelyfajita), a comm about Bradley's Stupid Face. IT'S AS AWESOME AS IT SOUNDS, AND I LOVE IT TO A RIDICULOUS DEGREE.

"Angel thinks I'm a habitual liar," Bradley says out of the blue, plunking down in Colin's personal space. He immediately has one arm around his shoulder and is sitting much too close for their supposed secret-relationship.

"Angel thinks you were dropped on your head a lot as a child, or possibly even recently, and it made you delusional," Colin corrects.

When Bradley pouts, he sticks his lower lip out to a ridiculous extent in a way that makes him look sort of like a camel. It's pretty unfortunate.

"That's because Angel is--" Bradley looks left and right conspicuously "---a dirty hussy."

"I'll be sure to tell her that," Katie says from directly behind them. "Though for the record I'm pretty sure she thinks Bradley has a learning disorder. A genetic one."

(KATIE WINS. FOR LIFE. Popping up when Bradley everyone least expects it!)

"From the...ponies?" Bradley says, utterly confused. Everyone knew he wasn't directly descended from ponies right? Because that would just be weird.

Katie gives him a look of unparalleled...well, Bradley's not entirely sure what it is. A mix of 'You're an idiot' and 'WHY DO I KNOW YOU?', with a handy bit of 'I will stab you with my shoe' going on as well. Katie tends to wear it a lot in front of him. "No," she says slowly, "Not from the ponies."

Colin makes a smothered coughing sound that's a probably a laugh in disguise. Traitor.
