Slightly Left of Normal by CC (PG)
Fandom: STARSKY AND HUTCH
Pairing: Starsky/Hutch
Why this must be read: Together, forever, and loving it. Hutch was forced to have a haircut thanks to a comment made at an inopportune time. Now his mustache is gone and his hair is as short as it was before they became lovers. This clean-cut, clean-shaven Hutch is a new experience for Starsky and he's loving every minute of it. That led to the boys discussing the properties of being normal.
"Do I really look that different?"
"Yes and no. I mean, you looked good before, but you look like you did then. . . ."
"Then when?"
"Before. You know, back when we were normal."
"Starsky, I'm as normal as I ever was; unfortunately, so are you. "
"You know what I'm trying to say. We're slightly left of normal now."
"Trust me--we didn't change; 'normal' did."
"Hutch, normal is normal. It's constant."
"I don't think so. It's more of a pattern that shifts around to fit what's natural, don't you think? Some things stay the same, but others change to fit the environment."
"We changed a lot of things, Hutch."
"Yeah, but some stuff is the same, like watching you eat beef stew for breakfast and doughnuts for lunch. Or sitting in the car for four hours playing 'guess a number' until I'm ready to shoot myself or you or both of us."
"Okay, but what about the things that changed? You're saying they're normal to you now?"
"Yep, 'normal' now is waking up with your fat, hairy leg wrapped around me. Ow, ow, ow--enough already--I'll take it back. Your, um, stocky leg wrapped around me. How's that?"
"Acceptable. What else?"
"Seriously? 'Normal' is going to work with the smartest man I know and coming home to the most beautiful man I know. Oh, this is fun. You're actually blushing. Let's see, what else? How about cutting my hair even though I don't want to, but because you asked me to? Or you loving me even when I don't deserve it. Or maybe most of all, it's feeling every nerve in my body light up just from the touch of your fingers on my lips."
Whatever state they're in--normal or left of normal--they're still the same boys and watching them experience life and love together is a wonderful thing.
