Linables' GenRex Drabbles #4-5
Replies...
Dimmensional Traveler: Thanks! I'm so glad you liked it. For you, I shall write Beverly's reaction to her new nephew. :)
Yellowplus: Thank you! I love Holix too and I agree, they really should have kissed or confessed their feelings by the end of the series!
Bramblerose4u: I'm so glad you reviewed, and that you like this! I really like your work, so I'm honoured. Since you asked so enthusiastically, I'll continue "Shirts Vs. Skins". I do want Noah to confess as well! ;) And you can go ahead and steal any of my ideas that you want, I know they'll be in good hands! XD Oh, and the sour cream and onion with ketchup thing is pretty much just random, that was the first chips flavour that I thought of, haha. Although I am a ketchup fiend, so that might have had something to do with it.
Hope you all (and of course any new readers!) enjoy these next two drabbles!

Beverly has some interesting ideas for her new nephew's name.
Rex sat with Bobo at a table in the dining room of the headquarters, eating a well-deserved large lunch. He and his primate sidekick had just been discussing the finer points of a new prank when they heard someone else enter the room. They turned to see Beverly, Doctor Holiday's teenage sister. Sharing a knowing look, Rex and Bobo zipped their lips. They liked the girl, but they knew that she couldn't keep a secret.
Beverly grabbed a drink and made her way to the occupied table, sitting across from the boys. She promptly greeted them with her usual wide smile.
"Hi guys!" she said. "How's it going?"
"Pretty good," answered Rex, taking a bite of his sandwich. "How're you?"
"Oh, I'm so excited!" Beverly exclaimed. "My sister just let me feel her baby kick! I got so excited, and even more excited when she said that I could help her name him!"
Rex made a face, remembering his own encounter with the unborn child and it's powerful kick. Bobo just laughed.
"So, what kind of name are you thinkin', sweetheart?" he asked.
Beverly beamed, obviously proud of her idea.
"Well, you know, since his mother is a scientist, and his father is a ninja ex-assassin, and kind of like a superhero, I was thinking Bruce like Bruce Wayne...or maybe Peter like Peter Parker. Maybe both if she has another!"
#5 - Shirts Vs. Skins 2 - Rated K+
Noah pressed the ice pack firmly to his left eye while sitting on a bench in the locker room, waiting for Rex to return from his shower. They had recently finished playing a game of basketball with some of Noah's schoolmates, and for reasons that the mildly embarrassed blonde preferred not to think about, he was now sporting a darkening purple patch over his eye.
Those same reasons that had led to his black eye had also led to his decision to not join his friend in taking a shower. Noah winced at the thought of how distracted he might become upon seeing Rex with even less on. This really had become a problem, he thought. There were limited options for correcting the problem - and since Noah couldn't bear the thought of not seeing his 'distraction' again, the only other choice was to fess up. But that seemed even more frightening a basketball to the face.
The ice pack was become slightly soft now, but Noah still pressed it tightly to his face. It wasn't so much about his eye hurting, even. He just hoped that it might cool him off and deter the blush he could feel on his cheeks. Just in time, too. At that moment, Noah heard the shower shut off, and seconds later, his friend joined him in the locker room. Noah said a silent thank you to whatever god had given Rex the good sense to dress before coming out.
"Hey Noah!" said the aforementioned boy. "How are you doing? Do you need me to get you another ice pack?"
Noah smiled at Rex's obvious worry and thoughtfulness.
"Nah, I'm alright. It doesn't even hurt that much."
"Are you sure?"
"I promise. Come on, let's get out of here."
So gathering their things, the boys left the locker room. But it wasn't long before Rex posed another question to Noah - one that was quite a lot more difficult to answer.
"So Noe, what happened back there? You're so good at basketball, it's not like you to get so distracted."
Noah gulped silently. He gaped for a moment, searching for a way out. "Uh..." he started. "I, um...I was just staring at something that I shouldn't have been staring at."
Ah, I know! Sorry! That was a really mean place for me to end that. But don't worry, "Shirts vs. Skins" will have at least one more part. This one was just getting really long already!
Also, I have an idea for a longer Noex story that I'm thinking of writing. But I'll keep writing these, as long as people want them. I'll probably throw in some heavy Holix ones as well, since I know those are popular. :)
'Til next time!
