Skull Centered Ideas

by Devil Wolf Girl

Just what the title says. A whole bunch of oneshots and drabbles mostly centered around Skull and the Arcobaleno. From running from fangirls to driving the getaway car. For now it's just centered around Skull but as the story progresses I might make it for whatever character I feel like for the oneshot. Reviews and Requests are loved! Rated T to be on the safe side.

*Viper's side of things when comforting Skull*

Viper was honestly shocked to see Skull so depressed. It only made the fact that he was a civilian stand out that much more. He wasn't used to the harsh realities of the mafia world like the other Arcobaleno.

"It wasn't your fault," Viper had told him, bringing him in for a hug. She ignored the tears falling on her cloak and focused on letting Skull know that she was there. Skull had choked out how he should have been fast enough. If he was the girl wouldn't be dead. Reborn stood in the doorway, watching the cloud and mist with an unreadable expression before he left. Viper understood. Reborn knew as much about comforting someone as Viper did. Which meant practically nothing.

So Viper did the only thing she could think of and let the boy cry on her shoulder. And man, did that say something. Skull was still just a child, but now he was an Arcobaleno. Forced into the mafia world because he had the strongest cloud flames. For now, Viper would let him be the child he was and not the Arcobaleno he had to be.

Skull had stopped crying when he pulled out of her hug. He hiccuped a little and had shaking breathing but he was calmer.

"Come," Viper said, standing and leading Skull to the kitchen. She made a drink of warm strawberry milk and made sure Skull drank every drop. She led him to his room and pulled the covers over him as he had started to drift off from emotional exhaustion. And if Skull had stopped her from leaving with a pained 'don't leave me' she wouldn't say anything. Merely settling against the headboard of the bed, Skull's head in her lap and his hands clenching the fabric of her cloak tightly. Viper calmingly ran a hand through his hair. Threading her fingers through the violet locks. She would be his support when he needed it. And if that earned her the nickname "mothering mist" then she was okay with that.

This was actually harder to write because I don't have the Seeking version written yet. That's probably the only flaw to using the randomizer to decide the order of writing fics. Oh well. It worked I guess. The Seeking version will be a lot longer. I think.

Please Review! Requests are still open! They probably will always be open.
