Posting this prematurely as a birthday present to myself (?). I need an incentive to get working again xD
This is the first in a collection of drabbles I'm working on. Right now what I've got planned are mostly scenes I had in mind when I was writing ALiE and FC, but couldn't fit in. I'm also open to requests though.

"DARGH!" Yukimura flinched and ducked his head. A large bat fluttered on above his hair unperpetuped, then vanished back into the dark it had come out of.
The ride went on slowly through the black tunnel. Somewhere in the distance red eyes blinked once and disapeared again.
"Did you see that?," the teenager whispered in awe, pointing into the shadows. "Show yourself!" He called out a little louder, trying to hide the tremor in his voice.
"Huh? What?" Masamune didn't sound like he'd been paying attention to their surroundings at all. He considered the creature next to him far more interesting than anything he could possibly encounter in here.
"There were some really creepy - AHH", Yukimura let out a surprised squeal as they turned a corner suddenly and the face of a ghost laughed at him from out of nowhere.
"Those things aren't real, you know...," his friend chuckled.
"Are you sure?" The younger looked at him out of big round and innocent eyes that made Masamune want to answer 'Why, yes, of course Santa is real!'. He just couldn't win against Yukimura's most lethal weapon also known as the puppy eyes of doom.
"Ghosts don't exist," he affirmed. "These are all..." He never got further than that, because a very cheap looking imitation of a ghost chose exactly that moment to jump from the ceiling and almost all the way into the other teens lap, who gave a shriek, clutched his hands around Masamune's arm so hard it almost hurt and held on for dear life.
The older teen raised an eyebrow at the sudden action, but didn't shake his friend off.
"On another thought. Maybe they are real."
Yukimura's reaction was to edge still a little closer to him.
Masamune smirked.
Maybe visiting the haunted house hadn't been the lamest idea of the day, after all.
