mindcrackloveI'm trying to get these even closer to the final battle with like loads of people and all that cuz I can tell some people are liking the mini fics a bit more than the chapter series so this may be a bit rushed or something I don't know. Leave in comments how you feel about something fast or more slow. Obviously the fight won't be next chapter but maybe chapter ten or eleven. SO anyways enjoy.
Doc
I was a bit apprehensive about Pyro joining the group. Even though everyone welcomed him warmly he was still very hesitant. He was a young man and didn’t seem up to the task of fighting the Mapmaker. The entire walk I was eyeing Pyro watching as he would talk happily as if the war wasn’t even happening. When the moon started rising we stopped to set up a camp. The Tsar and Kurt quickly created tents and everyone went to bed in pairs or in Beef, Pause, and Etho’s case, trios. Kurt slept with Zisteau, Bdubs slept with Nebris, and that left me with Pyro. I waited until Pyro was asleep to leave the tent for a breather. I sat on a fallen tree bringing a hand to my sword. Hadn’t been touched since after the Chieftain died. I watched the ashes of the fire in the pit not noticing the man coming from the tent behind me. “Doc?” I turned quickly drawing the sword in a fluid practiced motion. I let my arms fall slack as I saw Pyro standing before me. “Don’t do that.” He shrugged. “You seemed distant from the others. Not speaking and all.” I waved a hand dismissively. “I’m always like that, after…” My voice trailed off making Pyro come forward quizzically. “After what?” I sighed, “Sit down I will tell the story.”
Pyro
Watching Doc leave the tent was painful. I could tell he was troubled and I couldn’t just let him bottle himself up and just snap one day. I walked outside quietly hoping not to startle him. “Doc?” He stood quickly drawing his sword making my arms fly up. He lowered his sword upon realizing it was me and I wiped sweat from my brow. “Don’t do that.” I shrugged at his remark. “You seem very distant from the others. Not speaking and all.” I watched as he sat down on the log with a plunk. He motioned for me to sit down. “I’m always like that after…” I leaned in close. “After what?” Doc retold the story of The Chieftain and his death and resurrection. “Blame was a very close friend to me. When I was scarred he helped me feel better about myself.” A tear rolled down his cheek and I instinctively leaned in for a hug. He seemed surprised at the contact but slowly relaxed in my touch. “Doc. We will get him back.” He nodded disheartenedly. I looked at his face concerned. He was still bleary-eyed and distant I could tell so I did the most unexpected thing even for me. I kissed him. Doc’s eyes shot open as our lips brushed. When I pulled out I looked at him sheepishly. “We should get to sleep before everyone gets suspicious.” He nodded waving towards the tent. “I’ll be there soon I just need some alone time.” I nodded walking back before resealing the tent leaving him outside.
Nebris
I watched Pyro leave before coming from my tent in concern. “Doc.” He jumped clutching his chest. “Will you people stop doing that, Great Notch.” I chuckled sitting beside him. “I saw you.” He looked at me blushing. “He started it I know but you enjoyed it I can tell.” He opened his mouth to say something before hanging his head. “I did. But I feel I shouldn’t have.” He nodded. “We all have our significant others.” My eyes glinted making Doc look at me. “How about you.” “How about me what?” Doc inspected me poking and prodding. “Your significant other.” I chuckled nervously. “Hehe no one.” When I finished my sentence he ripped at my collar showing a blue, purple welt and teeth marks. He grinned widely. “Etho…” I nodded cowardly. “He’s just so…” He held up a hand stopping me. “Ah! Save it for tomorrow. I’m tired and I promised Pyro I’d be back soon.” I just watched him as he slipped silently into his tent. I looked out onto the horizon then went back to my tent.
