Friday Free-For-All
Heya, folks, seasons greetings and all that crap. It be Friday, so we get some room to play today! The sky is the limit, as it were, except for a few rules we need to just remind y'all about:
NO spoilers in prompts for at least one week after airing. Also, if your response contains spoilers, please warn for them and leave at least 3 empty lines before starting your fic.
Also, to make sure everyone gets a chance to prompt... no more than five prompts in a row, no more than 3 per fandom. You can always come back and prompt more after yours have been answered.
Please remember to be kind to you code monkeys (who work hard at a job that is time consuming) and code your prompts properly (fandom, pairing, prompt).
Examples:
Numb3rs, Colby/Charlie, The first time Colby called him "Professor"
Criminal Minds/Leverage, Reid/Eliot, "It's getting hot in here..."
Don't see anything that whets your appetite? Check out our lonely prompts archive here on delicious for some amazing ideas that just haven't been given homes yet.
Also, gird your loins, because next week is the start of yet another Quarterly Year Challenge, where we give you no prompts but instead offer lovely prizes to get you to write some of the prompts piling up in our archives.
Ready? Prompt!

Re: Vulnerable pt2
"Night Nate." The three called in unison as they headed out the door. Nate lifted his coffee cup in acknowledgement as he shook his head at the girls thought process all the while still watching Eliot.
Exactly 90 minutes after the hitter fell asleep Nate noticed movement. He watched as Eliot came to, expecting a jolt into wakefulness. Instead it was a slow process, complete with a lazy stretch and an uncoordinated fumble to rub his eyes as the younger man sat up and looked around the quite room. "Sorry, didn't mean for that to happen." Eliot said when he noticed that the only other person in the room was Nate.
Nate smiled at Eliot's clumsy movements. The poor guy was sleep drunk, his brain and body begging for more rest but his own stubbornness refusing to give in.
"Hey, don't worry about it." Standing up Nate gestured to the couch, "I have it on good authority that the couch is more comfortable than it looks. "
"Thanks but…." Waving his hand to the pillows and sleeping bag on the floor. "I already got my time in, I'll clean this up and be out of your hair in a five. " Staggering slightly as he bent to pick up the pillows Nate caught Eliot's arm.
"I think your body is trying to tell you it could use an extra go round, besides Parker took your keys. I guess she rode in with you and decided that she didn't want to stick around to see if the 90 minutes of sleep comment was true.
Eliot's eyebrows drew together as he reached into his blue jeans pocket and instead of coming out with his truck keys he found an IOU note from Parker. "She's just weird." He grumbled without any heat to his voice, shrugging his shoulders he took Nate up on his offer and settled down on the couch. "Thanks man" He mumbled, and to Nate's amazement slipped back to sleep within seconds. Grabbing the sleeping bag off the floor Nate covered the younger man. Instead of heading upstairs to his own waiting bed Nate found himself settling back into his chair. Content for the moment in his role of protector.
