It's Friday! I hope you guys have enjoyed my themes for this week. My last one is all about summertime. Barbecues, swimming pool, heat waves, summer vacations, you name it. As long as you manage to squeeze summer in there somewhere you're good.
Just a few rules:
No more than five prompts in a row.
No more than three prompts in the same fandom.
Use the character's full names and fandom's full name for ease adding to the Lonely Prompts spreadsheet.
If your prompt or fill contains anything that can be a trigger for the reader, please add a warning for that to give the reader the chance to decide if they want to read or not.
No spoilers in prompts for a month after airing. Use the spoiler cut option found here.
If your fill contains spoilers, warn and leave plenty of space, or use the above mentioned spoiler cut.
Prompts should be formatted as follows: [Use the character's full names and fandom's full name]
Fandom, Character +/ Character, Prompt
Some examples to get the ball rolling...
Harry Potter, Remus Lupin/Sirius Black, dog days of summer
DCU, Jason Todd/Bruce Wayne, Jason's first trip to the beach
Any, any, I see you boys of summer in your ruin.
We are now using AO3 to bookmark filled prompts. If you fill a prompt and post it to AO3 please add it to the Bite Sized Bits of Fic from 2015 collection. See further notes on this new option here.

Date: 2015-06-20 12:44 am (UTC)He doesn't even play baseball, Miles sneers, but Bass just looks at him, steady. He'd gone to the fucking homecoming dance - date and all - because Miles had to be there, and this was just a barbecue. If he had to go, so did Miles.
"Fucking baseball. Get a real sport," Miles mutters. "At least it's out by the lake and we can swim and shit."
Bass hides his smile and plays his top card. "There'll be a keg. And since it's off-season..."
Espresso-dark eyes light with the kind of enthusiasm that Miles Matheson reserves for booze, sex, and - jackpot - drugs. "What'd you score?"
"A little weed. Supposed to be good, though. We do the barbecue thing, swim a bit, then take off up the lake."
He doesn't say "just the two of us". Doesn't have to. He knows they'll both get handsy once they get a few beers onboard, and god, if they swim ... they'll be horny as fuck, and neither of them are known for their self control. So they'll do what they always do, bro it up for the masses, then disappear.
Bass licks his lips, mind glazing over as the days events unroll in his imagination. He's picturing beads of lake water making their way down the planes of that long, bony back, catching one with the tip of his tongue. Following another, maybe, tugging off Miles's swimshorts so he can watch it venture lower, sliding into the cavern between two low hills, his recently discovered Promised Land. Reaching around to grasp ...
"Bass?"
He coughs a little and his voice is croaky when he finally manages to summon it.
"Fuck the barbecue. Not like we'll be seeing any of those dudes once we ship out. Let's just head up the lake ourselves."
"You don't want to say goodbye?"
"Nah. Just you and me, brother. The way it should be."
