B.L.E.M.

Jared discovers Blythe's initials

“Whatcha doin’?”

“Working.”

“How ‘bout now?”

“Still working.”

“Now?”

“Jared, I swear to the Gods of immortality, I will find a way to kill you if you don’t leave me alone.” Blythe threatened as he finished initialing a paper and set it on the ‘finished’ pile.

Jared just sighed and picked up the paper Blythe had just set down.

“Hey!” the lawyer complained as Jared made a move to fold the paper into a paper airplane. He stopped when something on the paper caught his eye.

“Pfft…BWA-HA-HA! BLYTHE! YOUR INITIALS SPELL BLEM!” Jared exclaimed, dropping the paper and clutching his sides. The silver haired boy fell off of the side of Blythe’s desk, where he had been perched to annoy the immortal lawyer.

Blythe wasn’t amused by Jared’s discovery. Especially now that his whole stack of papers were on the floor.

“I swear Jared. Get out. Now.” Blythe threatened.

Jared straightened up and said, “Fine!” He stood up and stomped out of the room angrily, leaving Blythe to pick up the papers.

Of course, Blythe shouldn’t have thought this was over. He should have known that Jared wouldn’t drop his initials so easily, but Blythe wasn’t prepared at all when he went to work the next day and saw his name on his door crossed off with black paint, and underneath it the letters ‘B.L.E.M.’

Author's Note

This is an old story I made spur of the moment. Blythe's full name is Blythe-Lee Equality Masako, if that wasn't mentioned here. Yes, most people wouldn't use both the B and the L like Blythe does, but you know, if he didn't this wouldn't be funny. So you're over it.

Uploaded as the picture is a picture of Blythe from the comic my friend drew based off of this story. I'll go upload the full comic in my pictures.

Haha this is some really great flash-fiction. The characters have very vivid personalities that show through despite the fact that it's flash-fiction, which is an amazing thing. The story is short (obviously :P —but in a good way) and documents a few hours in the lives of these 2 characters but it's very finished, and comes together very tightly as a whole. I loved it!!!

This reminds me of a friend I had in high school. One day we were in band and I saw her carrying her trumpet case with the word LAB on it. When I asked her why it had LAB on it she told it was her initials .
Funny story. Congrats on winning!
