Hello everyone! Welcome to my first chapter, just an announcement, I will no stop adding chapters till I run out of ideas. If anyone has ideas for an one shot, please send me a message or review if you have any ideas!
This chapter is a Chiro/Antauri, father son one shot.
The monkey team was out that day, leaving a raven-haired boy home alone to his thoughts. Home… this was his home… Right?
That question had lingered in the young boy's mind ever since he had awoken the monkey team. Chiro had always felt close to the monkey team… like a family. But Chiro had never asked if the team felt the same about him.
What if they only took him in because of pity? If Mandarin was still the monkey team's leader there would be no place for Chiro.
He would probably still be at the orphanage, only seeing the monkeys from time to time when they saved the city.
Chiro sighed in frustration. He didn't want to believe that was the case. That, THAT was the only reason the team made him their leader. But there was always that possibility.
Chiro's attention moved from his ceiling down to the picture next to his bed. He smiled softly. The picture was taken a few months after he had woken up the team. They had gone to the park and Jinmay just happened to bring a camera.
Gibson smiled with amusement at Otto who was grinning happily as he held up some flowers to the camera. Sprx was behind Gibson, smirking mockingly as he held up his two index fingers behind Gibson's head, making it seem as if the blue simian had robotic bunny ears.
Chiro was sitting in the lush green grass with a happy smile one his face, while Nova placed a flower crown on his head.
Antauri stared at Chiro with a soft smile on his face.
Chiro stared at the photo with a happy smile on his face.
"Chiro…Chiro!" a stern, yet soft voice called to him.
Chiro blinked and looked over his shoulder at a familiar silver monkey.
"Oh Antauri your back." The boy smiled. "I'm sorry, I didn't hear you come in."
"I apologize if I disturbed your thinking Chiro." The wise monkey nodded. "I just wanted to let you know we've returned from the store."
Chiro smiled and nodded towards his mentor, his comrade, his…father. Chiro's eyes widened in realization, his face turning red. He quickly turned away from the silver simian and faced towards the wall.
"Chiro, is something wrong." Antauri asked softly. "I sense something is troubling you."
"N-Nothing, nothings wrong Antauri." The young boy lied. Antauri wasn't fooled.
"Chiro." Antauri said sternly, grabbing the boy's chin and turning the child's head towards his.
Chiro flinched. He could never lie to Antauri when he gave him "the look."
"I…" Chiro started, but was un-able to finish. What if Antauri didn't feel the same way?
Antauri blinked at the boy. What ever it was that was disturbing the boy must have been something very serious.
"Antauri… what do you… think of me?" Chiro said nervously.
Antauri stared at the child in surprise. Was this what he was worried about?
Antauri smiled and placed his hand on Chiro's head, running his metal fingers through his raven hair.
Chiro blushed and stared at Antauri confused.
"Chiro, to me you are an important comrade, a true friend…" Antauri paused. "My son." Antauri smiled at the boy.
Chiro sniffed, tears streaming down his red face. "A-Antauri." He sobbed, pulling the silver monkey into a hug. Antauri blinked in surprise but hugged he "son" back.
"A-And y-your like my d-dad." Chiro stuttered, trying to calm him self.
Antauri smiled happily at that and began to rub Chiro's back, whispering comforting words in the young boy's ear.
Chiro was Antauri's treasure, his precious little boy. He would protect him with his life. Raise him to be a wonderful man.
Antauri pulled away from Chiro and began to stroke his cheek, rubbing away the tears that fell from Chiro's innocent sea colored eyes.
Chiro smiled shyly at his "father"
"Why didn't you tell me sooner?" Antauri asked?
"I didn't know if you felt the same." Chiro looked down at his feet. Antauri smiled kindly at his "son"
A mischievous smirk appeared on the silver simian's face as he took a step closer to the boy.
Chiro stared at Antauri confused.
"You should never keep secrets, my "son". Antauri smirked as he transformed his left hand into ghost claws.
Chiro's eyes widened in fear. Antauri had only done this once before… but Chiro had learned then, Antauri shows no mercy.
"A-Antauri, no." Chiro tried to say sternly, but his voice squeaked. Chiro tried to flee, but the silver simian was too strong. He placed his right hand on Chiro's shoulder, preventing him from moving, while his left ghost hand hovered dangerously close to Chiro's stomach.
Chiro stared at his "father" in fear as the silver monkey placed the tips of his ghost claws on top of his stomach.
The room soon filled with laughter from the child. "A-Antauri! Ha-ha! S-Stop it, I-I get it!" the boy laughed.
"Sorry my "son" but you need to learn not to hide things from me.' Antauri smirked as he began to tickle faster.
Chiro began to laugh harder, his face slowly beginning to turn blue.
Chiro knew now. The team truly did love him, not as their leader… but as their family.
Chiro had a family, and he was determined to protect them, no matter what the cost.
Allie: And here's the end of the first one shot. I hope you all enjoyed it. I know I enjoyed writing it!
Chiro: *blushes* Do you really feel that way about me Antauri?
Antauri: *smiles and begins to pet Chiro's head* Of course my "son"
Allie: AWE! So cute!
