Zooming Around - Fandom Christmas in July 2020
Summary: Fandom Christmas in July 2020 drabble: July 13 - prompt "Cabin fever"
Rating: T
A/N - One of thirty-one prompts for the thirty-one days of July. I plan to fill as many of them as I can with two hundred word drabbles.
Please do yourself a favor and look up John Finnemore’s Youtube channel for episodes of ‘Cabin Fever – Fitton.’
Zooming Around
13. Prompt – Cabin fever
Fandom – Cabin Pressure
Ship – Gen, all character friendships
Title – Zooming Around
“This is brilliant!”
An extreme close up of Arthur’s eye filled his share of the chat split screen. It was quickly replaced by an unpleasant view up his left nostril as he got distracted examining the camera of his new tablet.
“Why am I doing this?” Douglas grumbled into a cup of coffee, barely able to keep his eyes open; looking uncharacteristically disheveled, as if he’d been awoken at some ungodly hour. Which he had.
Martin looked equally sleepy in his video feed. “Because it’s Christmas morning and Arthur has been quarantined in Carolyn’s granny flat, suffering from chicken pox, for nearly a week. It was this or caroling in the snow.”
“Which I expressly forbid the second Arthur suggested it.” Carolyn shuddered from her quarter of the screen. “I will consider your gratitude a given.”
“At least you don’t share a wall with him.” Herc winced. “We were treated to a horrible rendition of ‘God Rest You Merry, Gentleman’ at dawn.”
“It’s ‘get dressed, ye merry gentleman’. You know, hurry and get up because it’s Christmas day.” Arthur finally pulled back enough that they could see his face.
“Oh, God.” Martin dropped his head into his hands. “Not again.”
