Sports Night: Flirtational Theory by Shrift
Flirtational Theory (Dan/Casey | PG | 5,912 words) deals with Dan and Casey after the series finale. Dan flirts, and Casey's oblivious. There's more to it than just that though; this story is meaty. The dialogue's so utterly these guys, which is great because the dialogue was one of the great things about the show. Aah! I have much love for this story. Much love, I tell you!
Excerpt:
"You were flirting with me?" Casey said incredulously, and having said it out loud, he realized that it hadn't exactly come out the way he had intended it to. Except for the part where he hadn't intended to say anything of the kind.
"Possibly, yes." The smile on Danny's face wasn't entirely pleasant. It was like Danny's disappointed look after unexpectedly biting into a pickle.
"Wait a minute." Casey held up his hands in surprise. "You were flirting with me and I missed it? How could I have missed it?"
"Casey, Casey, Casey..." Danny said, sliding his hand up over Casey's shoulder to cup the back of his neck and shake him slightly. "You missed it because you are the most oblivious man on the face of this planet, my friend."
Danny took his hand away, and the back of Casey's neck felt cold. "On what basis do you make this assumption?"
When Danny smiled this time it felt real, nervous anger mostly gone from his face. "Oh, I make this assumption based on the fact that I've been flirting with you almost every day for the last ten years and you've never caught on, Casey."
