-Fool's Gold
Paired Couple: MiguelXTulio/SLASH!/Lime
A/N: Miguel, Chel, Altivo, and Tulio do not belong to me, they belong to Dreamworks. So on and so forth... You guys really don't care about disclaimers, do you? You just wanna see two insanely hot men confess their love for each other, am I right? Well... Let's get to it, then.
"Miguel, I think we're going the wrong way..." A dark haired man with long black tresses in a ponytail and a black goatee stated aloud, gazing into the distance. Trees and foliage surrounded this wondrous place, and he was sure they were going in circles. Probably had been for quite some time, to his estimation.
It was well into the afternoon, with the sun passing through the sky at what seemed to be a fast pace.
"Nonsense, Tulio." The blond Spaniard replied with a laugh. "I'm positive that this is the right direction!"
"But this is the same tree we passed by earlier!" Tulio complained, pointed to a weeping willow whose branches bent so low into the river that ran next to them.
"I think you're just seeing things, compadre." The blond made his way past a thick overhang of leaves and vines off the same tree that Tulio had been talking about.
"Well, I'm not going to keep walking around in circles with a glorified donkey while you keep finding ways to lead us back to the way we started."
The horse that was Tulio's charge gave a derisive snort at the insult, glaring.
"If you want to take a rest from leading around Altivo, then hand the reigns over to me."
Grunting with annoyance, Tulio handed the reigns over to his friend. The white horse promptly stepped on his foot as it passed.
"OWWW!" Tulio cried, holding onto his booted foot. "Your horse is about to become our next meal if it does that again!"
"Relax, Tulio. I'm sure it was an accident." Miguel smiled, walking over to a dense cluster of bushes, scanning into the clearing beyond them.
Tulio let his foot go, gingerly testing it on the ground, and shared a look of venom with Altivo. That horse had caused them nothing but trouble since they had escaped Cortes' ship many moons ago.
Thinking back on their adventures, Tulio remembered his wonderment when him and Miguel had found El Dorado. It had truly been a marvelous sight! But the loss of so much gold when him, Miguel, and Chel had to block the entrance to El Dorado with their ship of gold had been the most painful thing to do...
It. Was. So. Much. Gold!
So much, in fact, that Tulio sometimes thought he saw gold horseshoes when Altivo walked. But he knew that this must have been a hallucination spurred by the loss.
As the temperamental, moody Spaniard followed after the blond, he was abruptly brought to a halt by a dark haired woman that swung in front of him from a tree branch. "Hey Tulio!"
"AAAHHH!" He fell on his butt, frightened from the sudden appearance of the woman.
She giggled, landing gracefully from her perch in the tree. "I didn't think you'd be that scared."
"Chel! Don't do that! What if I thought you were a snake or something? I could have-"
"What? Scream like a little girl?" The curvaceous woman teased, brushing dirt from her long skirt.
Miguel ran over to see what was the matter, having heard Tulio's high pitched scream.
"Oh... Did Chel give you a scare again?" He held out a hand to the dark haired man.
"Pffft. No... I was merely taking a rest, that's all." Tulio said stubbornly. "All this walking has me tired out."
Chel rolled her chocolate eyes, shaking her head.
