"Come on, Shin-chan!" Kaito urged with a laugh, dragging his exasperated lover.
"Alright, alright! Don't make me drop my books!" He warned, tightly holding his book about survival; which had so many fascinating things in it, from making clever shelters, to identifying poisonous plants.
Kaito had gotten some books too, but Shinichi wasn't sure where he squirreled them away at, since he wasn't carrying them.
Magicians...
Up ahead, in a secluded corner of a lovely café, a scorned lover was preparing to murder her cheating boyfriend –
Lady Luck smacked Death.
"Be nice!" The Lady scolded him. "This is the first time that our boys have had any free time together in almost two months!"
"You're exaggerating; a month and a week is hardly, 'two months'." He replied, blandly. "Besides...you know that I can't do anything for him – he isn't directly tied to me, unlike my Champion."
The Lady sighed at this, staring at the murderous mortal.
Luck was a Chaotic force, unlike Death, which was a force of Order. In light of that, she was (usually) allowed to tweak things.
So she did.
Trip. She commanded, changing Destiny.
The woman – who had taken a step forwards to her boyfriend with a sweet smile, hiding her knife – tripped, stumbling into the surprised arms of her boyfriend, and dropping her knife.
"Whoa, are you okay?" He asked, giving the dropped knife a confused look, but he didn't ask about it. His girlfriend was very fond of sharp, pointy objects.
She gritted her teeth. "Fine." She snapped, pulling away from him.
Blinking, her boyfriend stared at her in bemusement. "Hm...I guess this would be the wrong time to ask you to marry me then, huh?" He observed, and she turned around to openly gawp at him.
"What?"
He blushed, grinning sheepishly. "Oops. I still don't have a ring – which is a bummer, because yesterday my cousin tried to help me...um, dear? Are you okay? You look really pale..."
As the man tried to comfort his suddenly shaken and horrified lover, Kaito and Shinichi obliviously entered the café.
"So, what do you want?" Shinichi asked Kaito, tucking his book under his arm, before pulling out his wallet. This was his treat, as an apology for being so busy with his cases lately.
Kaito is too good for me, Shinichi wearily thought. The magician hadn't complained at all, or said a single peep about feeling neglected, persistently supporting Shinichi through each case, singing him to sleep and making sure that he had plenty to eat, and lots of rest.
"Ooo! Ooo! I want a hot chocolate with a, hmm..." Kaito peered up at the dessert selections, torn between a chocolate cake and a strawberry tiramisu.
Shinichi grinned at his conflicted expression, his blue eyes flickering around the café. He stared briefly at the sight of a man comforting a pale and guilt-stricken looking woman, before politely looking away.
It wasn't any of his business, after all.
Unseen, Lady Luck smiled with smug contentment, and Death quietly linked arms with her, standing close to her.
Death used to be annoyed when Luck would interfere with his reaping of souls, but now...
He loved it when the Lady tweaked things.
Glasses: Yay! A drabble with Lady Luck and Death! I've been wanting write one for a while now. XD
Oh, yes – see? Drabbles. Yay!
I didn't forget.
