Well, I got the idea from all the drabbles in the Fullmetal Alchemist fandom, but these are snippets, cause drabbles are a 100 words exactly, and mine are longer. So... basically, these snippets are short scenes, usually either humor/romance (yes, that is what most of them are). :thinks: um... Oh, I'm open to any ideas/challenges/suggestions.
Disclaimer: If Dragon Knights was mine, I'd be drawing right now, not writing .

Dragon Knight Drabbles: Storms
Lykouleon knew Tetheus had been in a bad mood lately. A sudden youkai attack in a major city had forced him to make various trips back and forth, arrange military tactics of counter attacks, and dumped an overload of papers on him. All of this had driven the normally cool-headed and calm officer into a fume of bad-tempered glares and frowns.
So when he saw it was pouring outside, Lykouleon really had to pity any poor soul who happened to cross the black officer that night, and accidentally set off that bottled frustration. The former demon would most likely not be very pleased at all to have to do his nightly rounds in the windy, freezing storm, and anyone unlucky enough to irritate him in the slightest was in for a very bad encounter.
Thunder brewed ominously in the darkness of the castle grounds, and Tetheus' eyes flashed dangerously at the sight of the pouring storm, raining like the heavens had let a dam loose. His foot tapped irritably against the stone floor underneath the shelter of the courtyard roof.
But he wasn't going to complain about his job, it was the least he could do for Lykouleon after he'd taken him in, and he had too much pride to whine like Rath did when he had to do his work. He was an adult, after all, a responsible one, and he took his job seriously. Besides, complaining didn't do anything.
Nonetheless, he glared at the crashing curtain of water, hesitant to step out. He hated the rain.
"I don't know about Yokai, but humans catch colds easily when they go out in the rain. So we normally take umbrellas."
Had it been anyone else, the blak officer might have bitten his head off, but he knew the voice. Tetheus whirled around to face a sly-looking Kaistern, hand outstretched with an open umbrella in his grasp. He blinked and stared at the blue officer, hiding his amusement as the other began fidgeting uncomfortably under the iron gaze.
But then he reached out with a nod and small smile and took the umbrella. Kaistern beamed brightly, widening the smile on Tetheus' face a fraction. He turned around, umbrella held up, and stepped out into the rain.
"Um, Tetheus?"
The black officer turned curious crimson eyes on him.
"Can I go walk with you?"
This made him blink. He signaled towards the darkened skies, outpouring rain, "It's horrible weather."
Kaistern smiled almost shyly, answering even though he knew an explanation wasn't actually needed, "Well, I only got back from the trip today. Barely had time to say hello to you earlier, so I wanted to have some time to catch up with stuff…"
Tetheus didn't say anything, but the look in his eyes was enough of a signal for Kaistern, and the blue officer hurriedly took his place next to the black-haired man. Rain fell in torrents around him as Tetheus placed his arm around Kaistern's shoulders, letting the smaller man lean his head contentedly on his shoulder.
Lykouleon was surprised to find Tetheus smiling the next night when he'd excused himself to make his nightly rounds in the rain.
Ehem, I have no idea where this came from, and just in case you aren't really into Tetheus/kaistern, the next drabble is a humorous one... can't say about who, cause it'll give it away.
Anyway, reviews will be appreciated, and this will most likely be updated rather continously, since they're short and don't require that much effort. Thanks!
