Title: Time Skips
Author: Soshite
Summary: A series of sentences about the moments in the lives of Alex Mercer and Desmond Miles, both platonic and not so platonic.
Rated: T
Disclaimer: I do not own Desmond Miles or Alex Mercer, they belong to Ubisoft and Activision respectively.
Author's Note: I think I barely got the gist of Alex's personality. If I'm waaaaay off base I'm sorry. I really tried. Only just recently started playing Prototype. I know how Desmond gets though! =D Anyways, a little series about the pairing of Desmond and Alex. Yay for crossovers! There will be fifty in all!
Times Skips 1 - 11
#01 – Walking
Walking was always a waste of time, especially when Desmond and Alex could jump, climb and glide their way back home, together.
#02 – Waltz
Whenever Desmond sparred with Alex – during those times when the assassin seemed to lack any common sense – it was like a careful waltz; Desmond always felt like he was following the older man's lead as they whirled, twirled and fluidly moved together in sync.
#03 – Wishes
Once, Alex asked his younger companion if he ever wished things had turned out differently; Desmond replied, "Sometimes," before forcing the older man to just shut up and go to bed.
#04 – Wonder
When Desmond was allowed to see what Alex had under the hood, he had to marvel at the small mass of brown curls the older man had hidden away; he had been expecting a crew cut or a bald head, or something terribly 'masculine' - deceptively soft curls and surprisingly blue eyes.
#05 – Worry
Neither of them could tell who worried more when their significant other disappeared; in the end Desmond had been pretty freaked out when he found out Alex was a terrorist and the ex-scientist was more than a little irritated when he had to bust the assassin out of Abstergo.
#06 – Whimsy
One night, as Doctor Mercer came into the bar for a drink and the man might have had one too many and Desmond hadn't kept count this time – the older man just pulled the bartender over the counter and kissed him.
#07 - Waste/Wasteland
New York had become a terrible, horrible place where taking the wrong turn had you running straight into trouble, but that was alright, as long as Desmond had Alex and vice versa; "I'll keep you safe."
#08 - Whiskey and rum
The first time Desmond and Alex had spoken was when Alex was still working for Gentek and the guy had just trudged into his bar, one stormy night, and gruffly asked for some whiskey and rum; "Rough day?"
#09 – War
Being with Alex meant being chased by tanks, having the possibility of being gunned down by a helicopter or having any place Desmond lived raided by Blackwatch of Abstergo - or god knew who else – but they had each other's back in this crazy war zone no matter what.
#10 – Weddings
"Apparently a meaningful relationship involves being bonded by law and having physical relations, which ultimately lead to having spawn and stress, so I thought we should go to the next level, and be properly bonded."
#11 – Stupidity
Desmond stared at Alex after his little speech and said, "Alex, you're an idiot."
