Fics like Double Kiss

“Do you play?” he asked, genuine curiosity coloring his voice. This was where I erred. I knew full well that I understood how to play pool, albeit only through fumbling attempts in my college days, blurred by the influence of cheap booze and low lights, but nonetheless, I knew the game as much as the average man. There was no reason for me not to give him such a simple truth, but my traitorous subconscious and its fatal longing for that which I shan't easily admit in writing had different plans. Against my better judgment, I replied, “No, I’m afraid I haven’t.” When Gatsby asks if Nick knows how to play pool, Nick plays the fool in hopes that Gatsby will give him some hands-on instructions. Nick gets his wish... and more.
