mindcrackloveI'll try posting these here in sets of five, though they are orginially from my tumblr. My goal is for each to be at least 300 words and so far I'm doing good.

~Holding Hands
They were an odd pair, two boys much too old to be trick-or-treating. One was dressed in a cheery mottled green with four little square legs hanging by his ankles and a black frown painted on his face. There was a name tag on his chest, General Spaz, it read. The man walking beside him was dressed in all black with a tail and dragon wings on his back.
Their fingers were intertwined between them, arms swinging with each step. Smiles were plastered to their faces as they walked up to a house, ringing the doorbell and begging, Trick or Treat. As they stepped up to the door, Etho shoved Nebris out of the way, laughing freely as the dragon fell into the bushes.
The gentleman who answered the door, previously ready to turn them away because this was a children's holiday and they were not children, couldn't help but smile, watching as Etho pulled Nebris up and gave him an apologetic kiss on the cheek. The gentlemen gladly gave them candy, maybe a few more than normal but hey, who's counting?
The duo left, hands finding each other, but not before Nebris had reached into Etho's bag and stolen a piece of chocolate. Etho flicked his nose but otherwise didn't interfere as he ate it. Nebris grinned and offered his back to the taller man. Etho jumped on without hesitation, wrapping his legs and burying his nose into Nebris' hair. As they walked off towards the next house, Etho leaned down and hissed in Nebris' ear, imitating the sizzle of a creeper, Nebris only jumped a little bit, reaching up to smack Etho. The creeper dodged the hand, but also managed to pull Nebris off-balance, who had to throw his arms out to steady himself. Etho giggled at his flailing and covered the dragon's eyes, leaning back and forth and attempting to make him trip. He succeeded and they went tumbling down into a pile of leaves, laughing and grinning and flailing.
~Cuddling
Etho curled up in Nebris' lap, snuggling down into the blankets as the movie started playing. They had decided to watch a Halloween movie, seeing as the holiday had just passed. Etho rested his head on Nebris' chest, letting the gentle rise of each breath calm him.
With the first scream, Etho nearly jumped from the couch, throwing the bowl of popcorn into the air. Popcorn rained down around them as Nebris laughed gently, stroking Etho's hair and fixing the blanket on top of them.
"Is little Etherps scared of the monster under the bed?" Nebris teased, taking a few pieces of the popcorn that managed to stay in the bowl and popping them into his mouth.
"No, I'm not scared, " Etho began, flustered at the accusation with color rising to his cheeks, "I was just surprised." It was all very believable, that is until the music began playing, the quiet crescendo that tells you that something is going to jump out very soon, and Etho hid his eyes under the blanket.
"It's okay, I'll protect you." Nebris said reaching his arms around Etho and pulling him closer. The Ninja reached out of the blanket to flick Nebris in the nose, managing to hit his mark, even with his eyes covered.
Etho waited a few moments before peeking his eyes out and looking to the TV to see the monster sneaking up behind another victim. He titled his head up to catch Nebris' lips in an attempt to distract himself. The kiss ended abruptly with a scream and Etho felt Nebris' breath hitch against his lips.
"Is Nebsy scared?" He teased, whispering the words into his lips.
"No, just surprised." Nebris responded, but pressed this close together, they could feel each others hearts beating a mile a minute.
"It's okay, we can be scared together." Etho giggled, snuggling closer and turning back to the movie.
~Gaming
It was their first collaboration alone and they were certain the 'salad' would be blowing up from this alone. Never mind the fact that they were actually sitting next to one another, fingers still intertwined as they introduced themselves.
"Hello, how's it going everybody, this is Etho."
"Hey guys, Nebris here with the first episode of our play through of Superhostile number 15, Overgrown Island."
"Get your snacks."
Around them Vechs' newest map loaded, giant palm frond looking trees looming overhead and while they were beautiful they cast massive shadows where mobs were already spawning. Etho swung his square fist in the direction of mobs, thankfully still oblivious.
"We are so dead."
Nebris chuckled and prodded Etho in the arm, "Your dead, I'm going to go read the signs, you can go start gathering supplies."
"Whatever you say." Nebris tried leaning over to peer at Etho's screen to see what he had furiously began to type, but he received a flick to his nose. "Aren't you suppose to be reading the signs?"
"I'm going, I'm goi-" A death counter appeared at the side of the screen. Etho didn't mention it as he began punching the base of one of the giant trees. Nebris couldn't help but taunt, "Well, we all know I'm going to win this."
"You wish." As Nebris began reading the introduction and the rules, Etho gathered up the logs and began crafting wooden tools. The mobs ambled closer and Etho dropped into a crouch, walking slowly towards where Nebris was occupied, the hoard of mobs following obediently behind, a creeper in the lead.
"#4 Find wool in chests. Do not use sheep/ dye/ spider silk. #5 Survive in way-" Hiss BOOM.
Nebris blew up
"Well, I think things are off to a great start." Etho said, leaning over to give Nebris an apologetic kiss on his cheek as his death tally rose to one
~Date
The first thing Etho spotted when he walked in the door was the abomination of a food on the kitchen island. He promptly turned around and walked back out.
"I see how it is." He called over shoulder.
"See how what is? I'm cooking us dinner. What on earth could you possibly be upset about?"
"Why do you have to cook with it? Why does everyone? It only ruins the food."
"You can't honestly be talking about the onion." Nebris left the food he was preparing to chase down Etho, it hadn't started to boil yet, it could survive a moment without him. He found Etho pouting on the bed, mumbling about stupid onions. Nebris crawled up beside him, catching his chin lightly to tilt his head up and leaning it for kiss. Etho shook himself free, arms crossing and staring coldly at Nebris.
Nebris took it as a challenge and jumped forward. He used his body weight to pin Etho to the bed then attacked his sides with his fingers. His fingers prodded and poked, tickling mercilessly until Etho dissolved into a fit of laughter.
Except he didn't. Etho kept his infamous ninja calm, his tense body the only indication of how hard he was holding back. Nebris sighed.
"You really don't like onions."
"No and you will be sleeping on the couch if you put any in."
"Okay, okay," Nebris raised his hands in mock surrender, "I'll save it for something else."
Etho smiled and gave Nebris a quick peck on the lips, "Thanks, now get back to cooking, I'm hungry." Nebris smiled and obliged, going back to the kitchen to finish preparing the soup.
Dinner was served not soon after and when Etho walked back into the kitchen the offending piece of food was no where in sight. Nebris had also dimmed the lights and set up candles, but Etho noticed the pleasant lack of onion first.
They ate and just talked, something they had had less and less time for as they got busier and it was nice spending the night enjoying each other's company.
The soup was good, though something tasted off, but after the argument about the onion, Etho didn't want to criticize the food. Nebris would only blame him.
It wasn't till later that night, after they had gone to bed, and Etho found himself going to the fridge for a late night snack that he realized what Nebris had done.
On the middle shelf, in plain view, mocking him, was half an onion.
And it wasn't until the next morning when Nebris woke up on couch, that Nebris realized that it may have been a bad idea.
~Kiss
Etho leaned his head against the window, eyes gazing unfocused at the clouds outside. It bothered him for some reason that clouds blocked the moonlight; his garden always looked best bathed in the gentle glow from the moon and stars . His warm breath fanned out on the glass, the cold air on the other side making it fog, disrupting his already poor view of his flowers. He didn't bother to wipe it away, closing his eyes instead.
A warm body sidled up next to him on the window seat, drawing him away from the chilling glass and into a comforting embrace. When he opened his eyes, a heart had been drawn in the fog from their breaths.
He pulled away enough to turn and face Nebris, lacing his fingers behind his neck to bring them closer. Foreheads touching, he smiled, leaning in just close enough to brush their lips then pulling away. Fingers threaded their way into his silvery hair, pulling gently at the strands.
Their lips brushed again and Etho pressed a small kiss to the corner of the smooth lips against his. Nebris' beard tickled his face and Etho kissed it, placing tiny kisses all around his face. He giggled lightly, buffeting Nebris with small puffs of air.
Purple eyes swept over his face, lingering on the ninja's lips teasing Nebris with showers of kisses. Nebris growled softly, impatient for a real kiss though he smiled, and drew him in for a kiss, nipping and sucking playfully at his lips. Etho' eyes fluttered closed, lost in the sensation.
Parting their lips to breathe, Etho nuzzled his nose against Nebris', feeling each breath as it ghosted over swollen lips.
Outside, the clouds parted, illuminating the man before him and he smiled, gazing happily into purple eyes that reflected the stars far better than any flowers.
Nebris stood, scooping Etho up with him and settling them together into the bed.
