Monday: Figurative Language

[nevcolleil.livejournal.com]

Good morning, dears :D I'm nevcolleil, and I'll be your guest host this week. Today is Monday and your prompt for the day is figurative language.
Sayings, expressions, comparisons... (And, if you can dig the Language Arts lingo, metaphors and similes. Heck, throw in some kennings if the fancy strikes you!)

Examples:

Any, any, "I didn't mean it literally!"
Chuck/White Collar, Chuck/Neal, like a cat on a hot tin roof
Angel, Wes +or/ Illyria, You should never speak metaphorically to an ancient god king... and this is why.

Just don't forget the rules:
♥ No more than five "live" prompts at any time.
♥ No more than three prompts from a specific fandom.
♥ No spoilers in your prompts until at least a week after release/air/publication date. If your fill is spoilerly, mark it obviously as such.
♥ Respect our codemonkey overlords, and format your prompts in the way that is pleasing to them (See Above Examples)
♥ Have fun! ;)

NCIS, McGee/Abby

[love-evil.livejournal.com]

McGee watches Abby leave with her date (a tall but skinny Engineering professor she bumped into buying groceries) and is green with envy. It's not so much the fact Abby is dating other men that bothers him, it's that they all seem to be just like him. He could understand if she went for someone with money, who drove a flash car and spent weekends with her in Paris. He could even understand her dating a military man who is silent and serious and knows 30 ways to kill a man with a toothbrush. But a geek who isn't lost when she babbles about science, who has forgotten more about computers than most people will ever know, who stumbles over his words because he's thrown by the fact that such a beautiful woman is interested in him...It makes him wonder why it isn't him holding her hand as they walk away into the sunset.
