Jalmont: Drabbles 1-5
Here, I edited the drabbles and numbered them. *smiles* I hope they're easier to read now.
1.
Elmont gave a harsh sigh as he leaned against the wall, watching the new recruits train under the head guard in the kingdom.
"Ugh, pathetic." He mumbled to himself.
"Give them a chance." Another guard, Christian, said with a light chuckle, crossing his arms.
"You can give them a chance, I couldn't care less about the new recruits." Elmont muttered to himself before pushing off the wall, nodding to the guards and watching with annoyance as the recruits dispersed and he gave another harsh sigh.
"What's this? The infamous captain, annoyed?" Elmont turned his head with a smirk to a grinning brown haired boy with bright blue eyes.
"Well hello, and what's a pretty boy like you doing out in the barracks?" Elmont chuckled as Jack glared at him.
"Watch it Elmont." He huffed as Elmont walked towards him, pulling the boy close and planting a kiss on his forehead.
"So no hello to your dear old boyfriend?" Elmont snickered and Jack shrugged.
"Hm, hello Elmont." Jack said jokingly.
2.
Jack sniffled, wiping roughly at his tears, sitting curled up in his bed. He had been sitting in his room for an hour, crying over a silly little break up.
The thing that caused the breakup was the fact that Jack found Isabelle cheating on him, and she had said insulting things to him when he found out, degrading him and the worst thing was that she had been the one to break up with him, throwing him out of her house and he had to go back to his own apartment that he shared with his best friend Elmont.
Elmont sighed, as he stood outside the boys room, frowning at the boy on the bed. "Jack?" Elmont tilted his head as the boy stifled his sniffles and looked up timidly.
"E-elmont...?" Jack wiped more tears from his face, clearing up the small frown that he had on his face.
"Can I come in?" Elmont asked and Jack nodded, sitting up straighter just as Elmont nsat on the bed across from him. "Do you want to talk about it?" He asked and Jack looked away from him and found a small pattern on the bed particularly interesting.
"I... there's nothing to talk about." He answered and Elmont gave a soft sigh.
"For what it's worth Jack, I still love you, always have and always will." Elmont smiled.
"T-thank you... Elmont." Jack said, and for the first time that day, he smiled.
3.
Jack grumbled, slamming the door behind him. He and Isabelle had gotten into another fight about their former relationship and he once again told her off while she was desperate to get back with him.
"Go away Isabelle, leave me alone." Jack growled, glaring at the blonde as she tried to cling onto him.
"B-but Jack, we could've had something!" She pleaded before seething. "It's that bastards fault, it's all Elmont's fault!"
"Don't you dare say anything bad about him!" Jack snapped and she backed away, still seething.
"He corrupted your mind Jack, if it weren't for him, you would still be with me." She said and he huffed.
"No! I love him and there is nothing you can do about that Isabelle!" And with that, he left.
He sighed and sat on the couch, his face buried in his hands. For the first time in so long, he had actually said that he loved Elmont in front of another person, and he never thought he'd say that to her of all people.
"Honey, I'm home!" Elmont said as he walked through the door in his usual cheerful manner.
"Elmont..." Jack greeted, still upset.
"Hmpf, well hello to you too." The older man huffed in a joking way and Jack looked up, still frowning, but as soon as he had his eyes were wide and Elmont grinned.
"E-elmont?" Jack gasped, seeing the small black and white ball of fur on the mans shoulder. The little kitten perked up at hearing his voice and mewed in a very adorable way that instantly cheered the younger up and Elmont picked the kit off of his shoulders; handing her to the boy.
"Happy Anniversary." He whispered in his ear, chuckling at the excitement in the others eyes.
"You remembered!" Jack smiled brightly before hugging the older man, kissing him passionately before breaking away, almost purring softly, or maybe that was the kitten. "Thank you Elmont, I love you!"
"Love you too, Jack." Elmont chuckled.
4.
Jack ran through the castle as fast as he could, panicked and panting, his eyes wide with fear and worry.
"Please be alive, please be alive!" He chanted out loud, even as he was running out of breath, but he had to get there or something worse might happen. He had to be there for him, they promised each other and he promised him he would come back alive, he had to... he didn't know what he would do if he died on him. "Elmont don't you dare die on me!" Jack shouted into the halls, just as he skidded to a halt in front of the nursery.
Relief flooded through his body as he heard the familiar chuckle from his best friend/boyfriend. "What a surprise." Elmont mused as he weakly stood up and Jack stalked over to him, relief washing out and filling up with anger.
"What the hell were you thinking going up against the elite team from Hero?" Jack shouted and Elmont raised an eyebrow at him. "You could've gotten seriously injured, or worse, you could have died, and then what!" Jack growled and Elmont chuckled again.
"So nice to see that my boyfriend was worried about me." He said and Jack stiffened.
"How can you joke about something like this...?" He asked, tearing up. "Do you have any idea what I've been through throughout the entire month and then just earlier today when I heard that the great Captain Elmont was 'gravely injured'? I was worried sick!" He fell on the bed, hugging the man tightly, not noticing the wince.
"Okay okay, I'm sorry... Jack, that hurts!" Elmont sighed when he saw that it was no use trying to pry the boy off of him so he sat up straighter and hugged him back. "Jack, I'm fine... you don't need to worry anymore."
"You have to promise you won't do anything rash like that ever again... please, Elmont." Jack pleaded, pulling back and Elmont smiled sincerely, nodding.
"I promise, Jack." He chuckled, kissing the boys forehead. "Besides, I think I'm done with being captain for this kingdom." Jack looked at him, shocked and confused.
"What do you mean?" He asked and Elmont smirked.
"What would say if I asked you if you wanted to travel with me, you know, go out and see the world, just you and I?" Jack's eyes widened and he nodded.
"I... I would love to! But what about the king, your duties? What about Isabelle and your friends?" Jack asked, frowning and Elmont sighed, laying down, pulling Jack down with him, wincing only slightly.
"We'll cross that bridge when we get to it." Elmont assured and Jack snuggled closer to him, smiling softly, feeling extremely exhausted.
5.
"Jack?" The boy turned his head with a small frown as he looked to a blonde girl, the princess.
"Isabelle," he greeted, not really wanting to talk to her because of the fit she threw when he dumped her and she thought that he did it for another woman, which was far from the truth but still oh so close. "What do you want?"
"My father told me." He froze at that and turned to her once again, eyes trained on her. "May I come in?" He gave a soft nod to that and sat down on a small couch that was in the room.
"W-what did he tell you...?" Jack asked, timid and afraid. He really didn't want her to be mad or hate him for the choice he made.
"About you... and Elmont." She lowered her head at that and he gulped.
"W-what about me and... h-him...?" She narrowed her eyes at him and he visibly shrank away. "O-oh..."
"Look Jack," she softened as she saw how frightened he looked and scooted closer to him, "I'm not saying that I don't like it, in fact I always thought you two would've made an excellent couple..." she paused and he tilted his head.
"R-really?" She nodded, with a small but sad smile.
"I just wish you would've told me, and I would've been okay with it." She hugged him and he blinked for a few seconds before hugging her back.
"Oh thank you Isabelle!" He said, giddy, now that he knew his best friend was okay with his relationship.
Just at that moment, Elmont walked into the room, about to shout his regular 'Honey, I'm home' bit but blinked as he stumbled onto the scene before him.
He cleared his throat, feeling awkward. "P-princess... Jack..." he greeted to the silence and Jack immediately pulled away from the hug and jumped up, running to the man and hugging him tightly, planting a small kiss to his lips, causing Elmont's eyes to widen. "J-jack...!" He choked before smiling and hugging him back, looking from the boy to the princess and then back to Jack.
"She approves!" Jack said in an excited and happy manner and Elmont grinned, nodding to the princess who had a small smile on her face and then a smirk.
"So... when's the wedding?" At this both boys broke apart with a choking Elmont and a giggling Jack.
