Shine Bright Like A Diamond

dark-blue-mondays:

Harrison perused the selection of high end watches with idle curiosity.  He certainly did not need a new watch, and in fact, Wayne would probably roll his eyes at anything he brought home.  He could just hear Wayne’s tone as his mate pointed out that he had a cabinet full of watches.  But after six weeks of being a stay-at-home dad, the blue man felt like he deserved something special and sparkly.  Or several sparkly things as it were.  

In fact the entire day was a bit of a treat.  Wayne had taken Devin to play with Six and Alice’s daughter, and while Harrison could have tagged along, he was relishing having some time all to himself.  He loved his son beyond words, but he already felt like he’d changed enough diapers for a lifetime.  Now he was seated and sipping sparkling water as the staff brought him dozens of designer watches to peruse on velvet trays. 

He couldn’t decide between a pair of Versace watches, so he decided to get them both.  Perhaps one would be a gift for Sheldon once he made up his mind.   When nothing had caught his eye after a half an hour, he considered leaving with just the Versaces.  But then he saw a Bvlgari watch so obscenely crusted in diamonds that no price was listed and instantly his hands went to the soft leather of the strap so he could try it on hi slender blue wrist.

The door to the shop banged open, smoke billowing inside as laser lights flashed. From speakers held by Brain Bots Trespassing started playing and blared throughout the shop. with a swagger and a shimmy Megamind strutted into the jewelry, de-gun already in hand. As “wait till ya get a load of me!” was sang he grinned wickedly at the staff, “Please, do try and behave yourselves, soft headed sheeple. Keep your hands away from any hidden buttons and we can all have just a lovely time!”

A small crowd of brain bots filed in behind him, snapping their jaws and looking threatening. One stopped in front of Harrison and bowged inquisitively.
