Soul Food

by Kaesteranya

This is my dumping area for drabbles, shorts and flash fiction pieces I've written for Soul Eater. Most of them will be crack, some of them will be introspective, and a few more will probably be gay.

1. Idiots will be idiots

Idiots will be idiots.

The title for this piece is taken from the 31 Days theme for December 30, 2007.

If anyone ever bothered to ask Death the Kid about his rather unique way of holding his weapons, they would have been treated to a very roundabout, very lengthy lecture on bilateral symmetry and complex aesthetics and precision and efficiency on the battlefield. His side of the story revolved around the workings of the body and how holding his guns upside down and pulling the trigger with his pinky fingers was not only his way of proving to the world that even the weakest part of his hand was stronger than anything else, but also because it was more aesthetically pleasing to the eye for guns to be held upside.

Asking the Thompson sisters led to a very short and straightforward. In their transformed forms, the handles and triggers of their guns comprised of certain sensitive parts of their body, and Death the Kid was only too aware of this fact every time he picked them up. Holding the guns upside down was his downright weird albeit very Death the Kid-ish way of retaining some sort of dignity.
