Why this must be read: If you have read anything by Chelle, you know her delicious, witty, steaming style. And this story is just another instance serving for illustration of her amazing writing. This is a first time story (and yes, I have a thing for this kind of story) but not a very romantic one. Not in the usual sense of romantic, at least. But, oh, boy! you'll find it amusing, and smart, and very true to our heroes personalities. And I don't know about you, but, for me? smart and fun are sexy *g*

"I want to know if I’m just a project to you, an abstraction, or..." Duncan halted, his earlier rashness suddenly gone.
"If I genuinely care for you," Methos finished. "Christ, Highlander, haven’t we met your daily angst quotient yet?"
"Forget it." Duncan strode away, retrieved his fallen sword. "Let’s go." He started for the door.
He reached it before Methos finally spoke. "You’re not an experiment, or a project, or an abstraction, Duncan." Duncan stopped. "I know you’re real, flesh and blood, sinew and muscle, heat and..." Duncan turned around and flow of words ended.
"Can’t you ever answer a simple yes or no question?"
"I thought I was."
"With a simple yes or no."
"Yes."
"Yes what?"
"That’s it. Just yes. It’s what you wanted, isn’t it? A single syllable, a simple yes or no."
"Did it take you five thousand years to become this exasperating or were you born that way?"
"It’s a gift."
"That’s debatable."
"I answered your question. Why are we still bickering?"
"We’re in the middle of a warehouse. What else would you suggest we do?"
"Go someplace more comfortable?"
Duncan smiled, closed his eyes for a moment. "Come on. I’ll make dinner."

Now, go and read A Simple Question, you wouldn't be disappointed :)
