Title: 6 a.m.
Author: viciouswishes
For: [livejournal.com profile] monanotlisa
Fandom: AtS
Pairing: None, Gunn (Fred/Gunn)
Setting: Post-"Double or Nothing."
Rating: G
Words: 100
Request: Gunn and "I'd like to have at my disposal complicated hybrid emotions, Germanic traincar constructions like, say, 'the happiness that attends disaster.'" - Middlesex, by Jeffrey Eugenides
Summary: For fanfic100 031. Sunrise, Gunn can't sleep.

Gunn frowns as he picks up the Playstation controller. Fred's been asleep for at least an hour, exhausted from taking out that nest of vampires.

Gunn spent the most of the night looking at her. Better than seeing nothing in Angel's eyes or watching Cordelia protect him from feeling.

It's 6 a.m., and the sun's starting to peek through the windows. Gunn always keeps his curtains open.

The game on the screen just reminds him of the ghost not sitting on the couch next to him. Not really a ghost, just a man no longer allowed in his life or in his home.

Gunn has indeed, complex hybrid emotions here. Well done!

One thing: sun's starting to peak through, should be "peek."

Thank you for the feedback.

Their relationship and its disintigration needed to do more of that on the show.
