SUNGLASSES
By Periwinkle

Napoleon had forgotten his sunglasses again. It always surprised Illya how a man of the sea, a sailor, like his partner, could forget something so vital, but he had.

He turned to remark to the American about poor memories when his eyes were caught by Napoleon’s face. The man was squinting, causing lines to appear around his eyes.

It also caused Illya’s breath to catch in his throat. His partner looked so appealing with his eyes crinkled like that. It wasn’t the Napoleon he was used to seeing. But it was one that he would like to see more often.
