Not
that her brother and Jack were much better. Those two just
tried to be more subtle about it. That was, if longing glances
and drooling could be considered "subtle." They wasted
so much time pretending that nothing was going on. So lame.
And it only served to make the whole thing more obvious. It
wasn't like no one had noticed Boone sneaking off every night.
They knew exactly where he was going - and with whom.
Besides, beard burn was difficult to hide, and it wasn't the
sort of thing that could be passed off as self-inflicted - certainly
not when it was on the backs of your thighs!
One
of these days, Shannon was going to have to fill him in on
the difference between a moan of pain and, well, you know. Moans
of pain just didn't sound anything like the noises those guys
made. Oh, and the morning-after limping? Clearly wasn't
due to any "sprained ankle." So pathetic.
If you're going to lie, at least do it well. And if you want
to fuck, then fuck. Don't make excuses for it, or try to hide
it. That was for idiots. Hello, Boone!
No,
she'd have to tell him. It wouldn't do for her brother to become
the laughing stock of the whole island. Bad enough everyone
thought him a thief. Stealing was one thing, but ignorance
was much worse. It could reflect badly on her. Not that she
gave a shit, of course. But still, best not to let these things
get out of hand.
There
was only one couple on the island that Shannon could get behind
- especially if it meant she got to watch! Sayid and
Sawyer's relationship whateverthehell was at least entertaining.
But then, when compared with the rest of the morons she was
trapped here with, watching paint dry would have been a damn
sight more fun! But the way Sawyer and Sayid would lash out
at each other, yelling, and throwing punches. It added some
real excitement to Shannon's day. She'd even heard rumours
that they were into a bit of kink, tying each other up, and
such. Nice. Not that it would have surprised her, not at all.
That Sayid guy seemed like he'd be a kinky little bastard.
And Sawyer? Well, he was up for anything and everything. Shannon
was lucky enough to have had the pleasure -- great, great
pleasure -- of discovering that for herself, right before
he'd chucked her over for a hate-hate fuckfest with soldierboy.
They
didn't try to hide anything, either, which made a refreshing
change from Jack and The Spoon. And they weren't nauseating
like Hurley and Charlie. So, Sawyer and Sayid? Shannon could
deal with that. The rest of them needed to get themselves lost
in the jungle somewhere. Anywhere! And soon.
