Summary: Drabble based on challenge #017 Brown.

The earth was brown. Nick shuddered slightly when he looked at it. Brown, thick, unyielding.

Deadly.

Almost twenty-four hours he had been hidden beneath the earth. Lying underneath sand and dirt. In a glassy casket. And still he couldn't look at the brown earth without a slight tremble running through him. A hand at the small of his back tore him out of his dark thoughts and he looked at his lover. And for the first time he realized that Gil's hat was brown, too. A lighter brown.

Maybe he should concentrate on the lighter things in his life?
