Akumarayne: *opens curtains* We don't own anything – if we did a LOTTA things would've happened... a lot of 'inappropriate' things probably.
Sawahii: And there you have the disclaimer from the lovely Aku-chan herself! Introduciiiinnggg the charming Shiaori on stage! To help me with the intro summary!
Shiaori: Hiiii *blinks, juggles*
Sawahii: Dah! Nuuu, Shi-chan, the summary!
Shiaori: You know those moments where the scene goes dark? It's usually at a moment where you really feel like something important is going on but the most paranoid of us will never know it might well be something perverse is happening but we don't know. For all intents and purposes we'll assume its alternative PAs... or possibly failed attempts at stealing Faizes's trademarked evil black scarf...
We, the SRF-006 crew (because SRF obviously stands for Super Rambling Forumers right?), proudly present to you a collection of random PA stories! Who says we need to mass produce Love Potions to get to the good parts?
Title: Hide and Go Peek
Written by: Sawahii
Characters/Pairings: Edge, Lymle and Faize. Slight EdgexFaize if you squint.
A/N: This is dedicated to Akumarayne for just being too awesome and coming up with the idea of co-writing in the first place! And also not to mention the title of this fic 'Not So Private Actions'; the achievement name; and writing the majority of the chapters so far! Really thanks so much!
Hide and Go Peek
Bright green eyes moved rapidly left to right across the page; brain absorbing the key information; one hand tangled in his vibrant blond locks, the other tapping the pen, rather irritatingly, off the desk. This was a sight to behold as Captain Edge Maverick of the SRF-003 Calnus was doing work for once!
Generally, paperwork of any sort was carelessly shoved into the hands of a certain lime-haired Eldarian and returned to him for signing. However after being scolded by the First Officer for not fulfilling his own duties, the poor blond was locked in his room (much akin to that of a naughty child) until he had completed that skyscraper of paper on his desk. To be fair, it really wasn't all that much because luckily his workaholic alien friend had done most of it prior to the scolding, shoving, and pad-locking.
BEEP, FWOOSH. The sound of the door startled him. He didn't expect to be let out of his jail so quickly! Or maybe they were just checking up on him, anyhow, just in case he continued to shuffle through the papers to make it look like he was busy the whole time, not staring blankly into the wall from boredom.
There was a scuffle of footsteps, too small and soft from anyone of a large build, "...Edgie, I'm bored."
He swivelled around to face the girl, who was still shorter than he was sitting down, "Well, what do you want to play?" Meanwhile, in his mind he wondered how the tiny brunette had managed to unlock the door without getting the key and pass-code from Reimi... she rarely says no to Lymle, especially when the girl makes her puppy dog eyes and 'I'm bored; play with me' face as proven many a time that Lymle in the kitchen was literally a recipe for catastrophe.
As soon as the word "play" was mentioned the Lemurisian's eyes practically lit up and grabbed his hand enthusiastically in attempt to drag him up so that they can start playing immediately. "Let's play hide and seek! You go hide now, 'kay?" She commanded as she shoved him out of the room, once he was out, the child darted back into the room and counting could be heard, "1. 2. 3. 4-"
'Hmmm, now where to hide?' he contemplated. They played this game so many times now that the clever girl knew his all of usual hiding spots. 'There must be somewhere I haven't hidden in before... well, there were always the bathrooms, I guess...' he thought to himself. It was just a choice of which one now, though both held memories that were not so pleasant to recall as Edge shivered at the disturbing thought of barging in on Bacchus using the little robot's room but supposed it was the lesser of the two evils if it were to happen.
Fortunately for the blond captain there was no cyborg using the bathroom this time, 'And I'll just hide in the toilet cubicle; Lymle wouldn't think to check in here!' However, unfortunately –or perhaps fortunately to some fangirls' delight – the green-haired Eldarian entered the room and the shuffling of clothes could be heard from Edge's hiding place.
At this moment, there were two words kept repeating themselves in the hider's mind, 'Oh. Crap.' In the meantime, the person remained oblivious to any other presence in the bathroom other than himself as he proceeded to shower. Fan-girls, here is a box of tissues for any nose-bleeds you may suffer from during the imagination of this scene.
Frantic, he speculated the options: A) barge out right now, telling Faize or Bacchus the truth; B) crawl out, pretending to be a cat; C) wait it out and hope the person doesn't find out. Option C was most appealing, mostly because it was too late for him to apologise for plan A – the guy was already showering for Lemuris' sake! And he doubted plan B would go as well as it did with Reimi. He wouldn't want a punch from whoever was in there... speaking of which does Bacchus even shower? Well he's probably blood-proof, he thought whilst rest his head on his hand against the wall, leaning against something which sunk in, 'Oh Aeos, help me.'
FLUSH!
Meanwhile, the person, who was still taking his sweet time showering, was scorched by the hot water from of the sudden flush of the toilet, resulting in a very girly scream - 'Oh so it was Faize after all.'
The shower doors banged open and there was some shuffling about before the Eldarian dared to ask who it was.
At a loss for words, Edge mewed guiltily, "...Meow?"
"Edge is that you?" he slowly approached the door.
WHIR
"Uhhh... I swear! It isn't what it looks like!" Edge cried innocently with hands up in the air in an 'I surrender!' fashion; whereas the other teen's flushed shoulders shook gently. Was it from embarrassment? He was persuaded otherwise when he saw Faize's piercing eyes from underneath the dripping green bangs - for a split second they almost seemed crimson. From nervousness, eyes shifted its attention elsewhere, "...Uhhh... those tattoos are really cool? Where did you get them done?" The blond asked partly in genuine curiosity, but for the most part in attempt to change the subject and perhaps safely make a quick escape as he slowly edged towards the door, eyes briefly focussing on the exit. Not amused, the Eldarian made a swift flick motion with his wrist.
FAIZE used ICE NEEDLES! It was a direct hit! Super effective! EDGE fainted!
A/N: Hehe, sorry couldn't help but to add in the Pokémon reference at the end! XD
So, as mentioned above, this idea stemmed from Aku-chan and as you can see we have plenty of fun in the forums (especially in the Story Ideas thread where lots of wonderful ideas are always afloat)! Shi-chan's dedication should be coming up soon! (I think... *pokes Brain-kun alive with stick* Get working you!)
Though I feel a bit sorry for Edge, he seems to be the object of abuse – whoops! Sorry Edge! We're going to be laughing at your expense! XD
Anyhow, onwards with the next one!
