Use the word, the pic, or both!


Rules are here, though an additional one - you don't need to stick to the drabble of the hour. Remember, there are no rules! If you want to fill prompt one minutes after I post prompt 24, then that's great!

“I leave only for a week and you’ve already grown a beard.” Draco dropped the suitcase in the armchair along with his travel coat.

Harry, who was curled on the couch in tee shirt and sweatpants and a mug of tea between his hands, smiled upon his arrival. “I decided I needed a change of appearance. Do you like it?”

Draco looked at him thoughtfully, head tilted to one side. “Strangely I do.” Harry smiled warmly at his lover, then put the mug on the table and stood up.

Draco immediately stepped in his outstretched arms and kissed him squarely on the mouth, all sensual and slow, savouring every glorious second of the kiss.

“Your beard tickles,” Draco muttered when they parted. "But I don't mind. I missed you."

"Me too," Harry said and drew him back for another kiss.

Title Have you ever Wondered?
Summary This is so much crack, a poem about the injustice nature has produced, but may be for the best.
A/N This is a poem. Thing is, beards don't appeal to me that much ... so this was the only thing I could come up with.
Word count 115

Have you ever wondered why men have beards,
but women don’t?
Have you ever wondered why women get pregnant,
but men don’t?
Have you ever wondered, why women get periods,
but men don’t?

I bet you haven’t,
because we all know they’re just facts,
although, in all the justice fighting,
why has no one blamed nature?

Maybe if women had beards,
they’d get accepted into the rings of men.
Maybe if men could get pregnant,
there would be less divorces.
Maybe if men got periods,
they’d stop making fun of us.

Although, maybe nature has a point.
I don’t know about the beards,
but if men got pregnant,
the world would’ve been full
long ago.

So, the boys had facial hair in my Big Bang, but I kind of hand-waved it despite my lovely artists asking me for more detail. But when I saw the beard prompt I decided to go back to Antarctica and look at their beards. No need to have read Long Hours to understand this, just know that they're skiing across Antarctica and sleeping in a tent.

Harry gazed into the small hand mirror that Draco had handed him. He rubbed a hand over his chin, fascinated by the fuzziness there. He'd never grown a beard before.

"I can't believe you're so fascinated by a little facial hair, Potter."

"I can't believe you packed a mirror for your trek across Antarctica."

"I like to trim on occasion."

Draco stepped up behind him and Harry tried to ignore the heat at his back. A slender hand grabbed his own and angled the mirror to the left. Draco rested his chin on Harry's shoulder and peered into the small piece of glass.

"Mine looks better. Yours is all patchy."

"It'll catch up. There's just never been hair there before."

"Are you planning on something Dumbledore-style."

"No. Maybe I'll trim it into a strange shape."

"A question mark would suit. People would be able to tell that you're generally befuddled just by looking at you."

Harry thrust his elbow back and was gratified by the 'oof' as it connected with Draco's stomach.

"I like it," he said, gazing into the mirror again.

"Yes, yes, Potter. You look very manly."

Harry tried to ignore the flutter that comment brought to his gut, but he couldn't avoid the look he caught Draco giving him in the reflection of the mirror.
