Thanks for the reviews! Here's the next one-shot! Enjoy!
Mortal Kombat
The theme music of Mortal Kombat filled the recreational room. Mole was sprawled out on the couch, his fingers gliding over the buttons as he fought his opponent. His tongue poked out of the side of his mouth as he slammed his thumb into the red button over and over again.
A tiny foot hit his cheek. He shoved it out of the way.
"Quit it, Alec,"Mole grumbled. In return, Alec grinned cheekily as he pressed his bare toe into Mole's cheek once more. The transhuman lost his concentration and Alec annihilated his game character. Alec threw a victorious fist into the air, hooting loudly as Mole shoved the little boy's foot away. "You cheated."
"Nah, I just made a tactical decision,"Alec responded. He stuck his feet into Mole's face, wiggling his toes. "What you don't like my feet, Lizard Breath?"
Mole shoved Alec's foot out of the way and the kid giggled. Mole scowled. It had been peaceful yesterday and then the Winchesters showed up, bringing along the ten-year-old terror who tormented Mole's life. Alec followed him around all day, every day, asking obscene questions and talking about absolutely nothing. Mole swore the kid just liked to hear his own voice.
"No, Princess,"Mole growled, wrinkling his lizard nose. "Doesn't Dean or Sam force you to bathe?"
"Occasionally,"Alec responded, again kicking Mole in the arm. Mole glared. Yeah, he was going to pound the kid. Mole figured Alec needed a beat down every few hours, just to remember his place. The kid loved to push buttons and he had figured out every button to push within the first day of meeting Mole. Now, Mole couldn't get rid of him.
"Do you wanna keep botherin' me,"Mole snapped as he restarted the game. "Or do you wanna play a second round?"Alec sat up, a competitive grin on his face.
"Prepare to be owned,"Alec said, choosing his character. Johnny Cage.
"Not this time,"Mole grumbled right back, matching Alec's grin. "Prepare to be destroyed." He wasn't playing fair this time. If the kid wanted to fight dirty than Mole would happily oblige.
"In your dreams, Scales," Alec quipped. Mole picked out Reptile this time. Alec cackled. "Fitting." Mole flipped him off and Alec responded by elbowing him. They turned the volume up, the music pounding their eardrums.
Alec was kneeling on the couch, bouncing to the music, as Johnny Cage flipped over Reptile, punching his opponent in the back. He was humming loudly to the music, knowing it would distract Mole from the fight. He would purposefully thump a foot against the lizard's thigh, matching the beat of the drums and base.
Mole had had enough. He licked his thumb as he used his other hand to throw a series of punches at Cage. He jammed his wet thumb into Alec's ears. Alec slammed his hand against his ear, giving a startled yelp as Mole used the moment of distraction to finish Cage off. He copied Alec's earlier move, by throwing a victorious fist in the air. The kitten was still rubbing his ear, face twisted in disgust.
"Ewww, lizard slobber,"Alec moaned. Mole punched Alec in the bicep.
"Serves you right, Kitty Cat"Mole stated, gleefully. "What? Can't handle payback?" He licked his thumb again, moving it closer to Alec's face. Alec slapped his hand away, rolling away from the hand. "Afraid you might catch something?"
"Yeah,"Alec retorted, wiping at his ear. "Who knows what type of weird bacteria is in your spit. I might keel over and die because of you."
"Are you makin' fun of my komodo dragon DNA?"Mole questioned. He was trying to look annoyed, he really was, but bantering with Alec was too much fun.
"Yeah,"Alec quipped. "Haven't you watched animal planet? Komodo dragons have some nasty spit. The spit is actually what kills their prey." Alec smirked. "I might die from infection because of you."
Mole rolled his eyes. "Sorry, I might have killed you with my venomous spit,"he, sarcastically, responded. A smirk curved his lips. "Not."
"You'd miss my beautiful and charming personality if I died,"Alec retorted. "The guilt would eat you alive."
"I highly doubt it,"Mole responded. In truth, he probably would miss Alec. It was hard to find someone to banter with and poke fun at. Alec just opened the gates and Mole took every opportunity to hassle him. He knew Alec loved it. He loved it too. These nonsense conversations made him feel like a normal teenager. And Alec was the little brother he wished he never had.
"Course you would,"Alec replied. He grinned, moving closer to Mole. "Nobody can resist my adorable qualities and face." Man, this kid had an ego. Mole wasn't surprised though, Dean had an ego the size of Texas too. To add emphasis to his damn adorable face, Alec fluttered his lashes at Mole. Mole sneered.
"You mean pounding it in, right?"Mole ribbed. "You're correct, I'm having a very hard time resisting."
Alec laughed loudly, the mock not lost on Mole. He slapped Mole's shoulder. Mole frowned. "Oh, Mole,"Alec drawled. "You're a crack up. Really, stand-up comedian quality." He gave two thumbs up, the arrogant smirk still there. "A celebrity in the making." That's it..."Umph." Alec found himself on the ground, tackled by Mole. Alec struggled in the teen's grip, before slamming his foot into Mole's face and sending the lizard back.
"Eat feet, Flickers," Alec shouted. Mole pounced again and the boys rolled across the ground, both trying to get the upper hand. Both with equal strength. Though Mole was slightly stronger, while Alec was faster. Teeth gritted as backs hit the couch and the game was forgotten about for now.
"Flickers?"Mole grumbled, questioning the weird name-calling.
"Yeah,"Alec grumbled, shoving Mole back. "Because your tongue flickers." Alec rolled over the couch, avoiding the pillow that was tossed at his head. Mole quirked a brow, grasping a second pillow. Alec rolled his eyes. "Lizard tongues flicker."Mole threw the pillow, hitting Alec in the face. The boy fell backwards. Mole jumped over the couch, standing over a sprawled Alec.
"Still making fun of others animal DNA I see, Pussy-Cat,"Mole quipped. Alec smirked, sitting.
"It brings me life,"Alec explained. "Makes me feel more important. Superior even."
"Course it does,"Mole scoffed. He pointed a finger at Alec. "That's the Cat DNA talking."
Alec wiggled his brows. "Yup,"Alec agreed. Mole smacked him with the pillow before Alec leapt forward, wrapping arms around his legs, and tackled him into the couch.
They continued their verbal smack-down as they poked, hit, and kicked each other. Mole rolled over, getting the upper-hand. He pinned Alec, gathering up a giant spit wad in his mouth.
Alec struggled, trying to avoid the dripping spit. "No, Mole," Alec cried out. "You might kill me!" Yeah, Mole could only hope. Alec's hand got out of his grip, slapping Mole's cheek. The spit plopped onto the boy's cheek. "Ewww,"Alec groaned, kicking Mole off. He wiped the spit off his cheek as Mole laughed at his pity party. "That's just nasty, dude."
"Serves you right, Kitten,"Mole quipped, rubbing his swelling cheek. Alec slapped hard. Mole could probably call that fight, a cat fight. Mole grinned as he repeated his joke. Alec facepalmed himself.
"Mole,"Alec groaned. "That was just lame even for you." Mole snorted, pushing Alec over and falling back into the couch.
"Most of your jokes are lame anyways,"Mole retorted, grabbing the controller.
"I object to that statement,"Alec responded. "I'm hilarious." Mole grunted, elbowing Alec. Alec made a grab for the second controller.
"Because Dean says you are?"Mole needled.
"Yup,"Alec stated, flickering through the character list. He was done playing Johnny Cage.
"Hate to break it to you, Fluffy,"Mole responded. Alec glared at the new nickname. Mole was definitely keeping that one. It would be used on special occasions. "But, you and Dean share the same lame sense of humor."
"Dad and I object,"Alec said. "Together we could be a two man show. A Saturday night comedy hit."
"Keep dreamin',"Mole muttered. Alec flicked him in the cheek. Mole batted his hand away before getting comfortable on the couch. "Ready for round three?" Or round four. Round three had been their little living room battle. Mole had definitely won that. Mole: Two, Alec...well, one if the first game counted. In Mole's mind, it didn't.
"Yup,"Alec replied, popping the 'p'. "Ready to be crushed into dust, Pea Brain?"
"Only if you are, Meow Mix." Mole hit the start button and the two boys once again were absorbed in their game. Their ultimate showdown.
Thanks for reading! Hope you enjoyed the fun banter. Review please! :D
