X Series - Slices of Life
All of these are short-short little drabbles written entirely for my creative writing class that I happened to like enough to post them up well, except for one and that was because I was totally bs-ing that one just to get it done and may or may not expand upon someday.
Enjoy~
1. Avoiding someone
“Commander Zero!”
The blond reploid had only a moment to react before a blue blur collided with him. He grunted as he barely kept his balance, looking down at the mass of curly black hair beneath his nose.
“X?”
“You’ve got to help me!” the older reploid pleaded, green eyes wide. “Vile’s—“
“Oh, X~”
X cringed, and if possible, clung tighter. “Hide me! Please!”
2. An accident
“…X…X! Can you hear me? X!”
The brunet reploid stirred, wheezing as his artificial lungs struggled for air under the weight of the rubble on top of him. One eye slid open slowly, the other gone, crushed and destroyed by the same blow that had bent his cheekbone in.
“Z…Zero?” he wheezed painfully, staring up at the blond reploid looking through a gap in the rubble. Zero let out a shaky, relieved breath, reaching an unarmored hand towards him.
“Oh, thank Light,” he said, fingers carefully brushing some smaller pieces of stone and dirt off his face. “Just hang in there, okay? We’ll have you out in no time.”
3. Caught in a storm
“I told you it looked like it was going to rain.”
“Shut up, Axl. Just watch for the mavericks.”
The youngest of the trio grumbled, kicking his feet against the wall, staring out the window he was guarding. “Geez, someone’s grouchy…”
“Leave Zero alone, Axl,” X said, chuckling quietly. “And Z, relax. Your hair will be fine – if it’s not frizzing out yet it won’t at all. You know that.”
Zero muttered darkly, leaning against the doorframe. “…still don’t like this. Freaking rain.”
4. An embarrassing moment
“G-get off!”
“Not until you admit it!”
Too busy wrestling against the other, neither noticed the door open until they heard a choking noise. X craned his head back as far as he could while pinned to the floor, Zero looking up as well. Axl was in the door, his eyes wide as he stared at the two, before he turned and bolted.
“Paaleeettee! It’s true!” he screamed down the hall, leaving Zero baffled and X blushing.
“Zero,” X said, looking mortified. “Get off. Rumor control. Now.”
Notes: The Vile/X thing? Pure crack inspired by some fanart I stumbled across a while ago. Saw that prompt in the book when I was trying to pick out my five, had had had to do it~
