Moments

by Danny Phantom SG-1

A collection of moments that crawled from my brain and squirmed onto the page, ready to haunt the minds of all who encounter them. Various genres and characters. Moment Eight: "It took a lot of work to get him this way," he said forebodingly. "And it's our job to make sure he stays like this."

Bromance

A short glance was the only acknowledgement that the other occupant of the bar had even noticed another presence.

"Hey," the newcomer greeted lowly.

A nod.

"Rough day?"

Another nod, though more reluctant.

"Wanna talk about it?"

This time, the white-haired ghost boy turned his head and stared with half-lidded eyes at his companion.

"Didn't think so," the other chuckled as he took a sip from his drink. "You know, I could report you for underage drinking."

A hollow laugh came as Phantom was finally prompted to respond verbally, "Ghost Zone. Pretty sure that's out of United States jurisdiction."

"I meant to Walker," the other tried, barely containing a slightly maniacal smirk.

Phantom's eyes simply narrowed, muscles tensing perceptibly as he gauged the sincerity of the threat. They stayed silent, both braced for a confrontation they knew wouldn't come, before Danny finally relaxed and sighed, staring back at his drink.

"It's almost not even fun anymore, Skulker," he admitted, bringing the glass to his lips. "All our threats these days are as empty as this glass is about to be."

And the hunter could only nod as he joined the ghost boy in downing his drink.
