Tin Man drabble requests 2.0

[surranndie]

I'm bored and restless. In the beginning stages of another epic Cain/Glitch story but far too fussy to focus on that alone.

Bring on the requests! Same limits apply as last time: Cain/Glitch or Ambrose/Cain; please no deathfic (at least not perma-death), bloodplay, etc. I'm pretty vanilla in my abilities! Make requests in the comments and I'll do my best to give you something for your time.

Glitch, for want of anything better to do on the days he forgot what all the shiny, noisy things in his old lab were meant to be used for, often found himself wandering down the halls of the palace. Down the stairs, to the left, guided by instinct he wandered until he recognized the corridor where Wyatt Cain's new office was located.

Not wanting to bother the Tin Man with his absentminded musings, Glitch glided past the open door and settled into a convenient alcove at the end of the hall. He smiled as he glanced out the window that overlooked the eastern garden, now in bright summer bloom.

Voices down the hall distracted him and he peeked around the corner.

Cain was seeing someone out of his office, a very attractive woman in a long, plain dress and carefully arranged hair.

As Glitch watched from his hidden perch, he saw Cain take both of her hands in his own and lean forward to kiss the woman's cheek. Jaw dropping in shock, Glitch stared for a moment as the woman ducked her head with a blush and a smile before walking down the hall toward the front exit.

Glitch had never seen Wyatt do that with anyone, let alone a strange woman.

Without thinking, Glitch stormed out of his alcove and stomped determinately down the hall. He caught Cain's arm before the cop could make it back into his office and Glitch spun him around, shoving him up against the opposite wall.

Cain gave a surprised grunt and tried to push back but found himself unable to budge the angry looking advisor holding him up. "What the hell is wrong with you?" he hissed, hands coming up to grip Glitch's upper arms.

"Who was that?" Glitch fumed, unsure himself of where this sudden rage was coming from.

Opening and closing his mouth a couple of times, Cain looked at Glitch in stunned confusion. "Who?"

"That...woman," the advisor nearly snarled. "The one you kissed."

Cain eyed him and shifted against the hard wall. "You mean my cousin?"

Glitch wavered and stumbled back, eyes wide. "Cousin?"

"Yeah, she saw that I was back on the job and tracked me down," Wyatt straightened and twisted the crick in his neck. "Family is important to me, Glitch," he explained gently. "I was taught to show them respect and love."

"Oh," Glitch breathed. He buried his face in his hands, stepping back blindly to lean against the wall behind him. "Oh gods, I'm so sorry, I don't know what that was."

Cain took a step forward and raised a hand to touch Glitch's chin, forcing the advisor to look at him. "Looked to me like you were jealous," he said carefully.

Glitch looked away as he thought about his own reaction. "Really? You think so?"

With a knowing smirk, Cain dipped his head and gave Glitch a teasing kiss on the lips. "Trust me, if I saw you kiss another person, I'd have had the same reaction."

"Oh!" Glitch grinned happily. "In that case, when I remember if I have any family, I'll be sure to introduce them to you first."

Wow, That really sucked me in, I was ready to settle in for a novella at least, LOL, but don't have a heart attack. You get those two so well, I want to write just like you when I grow up! Well, not just like you...that would be plagiarism...you know what I mean :)
