Pairing: Ah, that would be telling!
Disclaimer: This never happened, as far as I know, but I'd bet dollars to donuts Elijah wishes it had!
Caress
by Serai
Elijah closed his eyes and sighed as a warm hand patted his carefully combed hair. The stage lights flared bright behind his eyelids, but it was easy to ignore them. Who cared about lights, the movements of the crew, the mike above his head - who could care about any of it when he was really, truly here?
The hand slid down to stroke his cheek, and a giggle burst from his lips at the feel of it. He opened his eyes and met the intense gaze and open smile. That beloved face - and he could touch, too, reach out and squeeze a soft shoulder. Oh, thank you, he thought to whoever had brought him here.
" 'Lijah," came the rough whisper, and the hand patted him happily. " 'Lijah."
At the sound of that voice speaking his name, a little shiver coursed through Elijah's chest. Oh, he was so happy. He felt as if he could melt away right now, into a little bubbling river. How long had he wanted to be here? Practically forever, it seemed.
A dream come true.
"OK, lockdown!" the AD shouted. Ever the pro, Elijah straightened up, and his companion gestured with his usual excitement.
"You ready now?" he asked. Elijah nodded with a giddy grin.
"Roll tape!" the director called. "And, action!"
"Elijah want…a COOKIE?" the furry blue monster shouted.
The little boy laughed aloud. "Yes! Chocolate chip!" he sang out.
He was in heaven.

Re: PS
By the by, read the fic you sent. Beautiful. Am pondering it now, and will see if I can take a whack at some ideas in the next day or two. I think Sam's got something to say about it. Should be fun. :)
