'Sup? To tide you guys over until my writer's block (the worst kind, where you know what you want to write but don't know how to write it) subsides and I get around to writing Chapter 12 of It'll be Fun, here's the first of hopefully many random Yogscast oneshots that will all be posted in this fic. First up, some Rythna, because this idea just sort of came into my head the other day and I liked it. This was slightly weird to write. Enjoy!


Rythian didn't like rainy days, and this particular rainy day was a bad one. He didn't feel like talking to anyone in Cabertown. Zoey was nagging him too much, Ravs was drunk, and Teep was, well, he was Teep. It's rather difficult to strike up a conversation with a mute dinosaur. In his mood, he had simply put on his mask and gone for a walk. After the Sjindig, he had become a bit more outgoing, but he wasn't going to talk to anyone. After mindlessly walking for some time, he found himself near Duncan's castle. He sat down under a tree near the station for the minecart track that led into the castle. He could go inside, but did he really want to talk to Duncan? Really? Rythian sat there, taking in the sights and sounds. Rain hit the ground endlessly, insects scurried about, some lights on Duncan's castle turned on, a nearby tree exploded into fragments- wait, what? It was the exploding tree that kickstarted Rythian's senses. He heard a shout.

"Geez! Sorry, didn't see you there."

"Duncan?"

"Oh! Rythian! Hi! Come in!"

Rythian started walking towards Duncan's castle, before backtracking to the cart station. Duncan wouldn't mind. He hopped in a cart, and pressed a button, sending him down the tracks.

After a slightly terrifying ride, Rythian arrived at the door to the castle. Duncan was serious about security. His door was actually two towering slabs of solid iron, moved by pistons and activated by computer. Rythian wasn't a fan. Duncan came over the intercom in the door control panel.

"Oh. Yeah. The door. I'll let you in."

There was a loud groaning noise as the two huge slabs of steel slid apart, revealing a small courtyard that contained some plants, a fountain, a couple of computer terminals, and Duncan, who was wearing his usual attire of lab coat, rubber gloves, black boots, and a pair of goggles perched on his forehead.

"Hi, Rythian."

"Hi, Duncan."

"This isn't the Rythian I know. What's the matter?"

Rythian sighed.

"I don't like the rain, I didn't feel like talking to anyone, and I was bored. I went for a walk, you exploded a tree somehow, and now I'm here."

"Let's solve problem one and get you inside. I just have to recalibrate the bio-scanner in the doorway, otherwise you will be electrocuted."

Rythian shrugged. Their war was over, so why the security?

"Nice thought. Anyway, where's Kim?"

"Oh, she finished her apprenticeship here, so I sent her off to work at the Jaffa factory."

Duncan fiddled with a computer for a bit before gesturing for Rythian to come inside. Once they were both inside, Duncan sat on a box.

"C'mon, Rythian", he chuckled, "We all know you can take your mask off. Let's talk face to face."

Rythian pulled his mask off. His face looked just as good as it had when Duncan had last seen it. Before Rythian did anything, Duncan grabbed him, pulled him forwards, and pecked him on the cheek.

"Umm, what was that for?"

"Not sure. Just felt like it needed to happen."

After a few seconds of contemplation, Rythian did something odd. He pulled Duncan close, and kissed him. They stayed like that for a few seconds, before breaking the kiss.

Duncan spoke his mind, "What about Zoey?"

"Judging by what just happened, do you think I care?"

"Nope."

They kissed one more time.

"I like you, Rythian.", Duncan giggled, "A lot."

Rythian smiled and said, "Duncan, dare I say that I love you?"

"You just did."

They laughed, and hugged.

Rythian spoke softly, "Duncan?"

"Yeah?"

"Can I stay the night? It's getting late, and I don't want to walk home in the dark."

"I could fly you home in my ship."

"Nah. I think I'll stay.

So he did.


A/N: Yay for slash pairings! I'm sure this sort of thing will get easier to write the more I do it. The next oneshot will focus on what Zoey is up to at the time when this oneshot happens. Hint: It involves a pairing that you will NEVER have seen coming. Seriously. I'm not going to excite you guys then write some bloody Zoelna like everyone else who tries to ship Zoey with someone other than Rythian. 'Til next time.
