Hello Nerdians, and welcome to another chapter of Ship-Fic Drabbles! I removed the update chapters and actually looked at the chapter count, and we're nearly at 30 chapters! I don't know if I'll do a special chapter then or wait until we hit fifty... you guys tell me what to do!
I finally... FINALLY wrote an ImmortalAnex, and I'm pretty proud of it. It follows the canon of the one-shot I wrote (It's called Daaaaaaad, except I always get the amount of a's wrong) but the only thing I changed was the age. Eddie is now 5, Aleks is 6 and James is 7.
ENJOY
Good Luck
An ImmortalAnex Fic
Kevin sat crossed legged on the grass, picking up dandelions and grass and winding them up in a big mess and then holding them up to the sun and examining them. Aleks was hanging upside down from a tree branch on the massive tree growing in his backyard, and James was sitting by the swing set with Eddie trying to convince him a monster lived in the shed. From the look on Eddie's face, he was convinced.
"Aleks!" Kevin said, looking up at him. "Come down, I wanna show you something!" Aleks shifted and climbed down swiftly. The six year old was like a monkey and full of energy, quite like his adopted brother James. Aleks dropped down beside Kevin and looked down at the other six year old boy, who smiled brightly and held up a small green clover.
"Here! It's got four leaves; it'll give you good luck!" Kevin said proudly. Aleks smiled and took it gently from his hand, looking at it and cocking his head to the left.
"Thanks, but we have Seamus to give us good luck," Aleks giggled.
"Aleks! Don't be rude!" Jordan called. Aleks and Kevin giggled and Aleks sat down beside Kevin, crossing his legs and twirling the clover between his fingers.
"I wonder if I will get good luck," Aleks wondered out loud. "Maybe I'll get a-" Aleks was cut off by Eddie screaming loudly and running away from James, who fell apart laughing. Eddie flew across the lawn, up the stairs and leapt into Dan, who was sitting in his chair on the porch watching the children. Eddie was sobbing loudly and Dan held him close, patting his back and glaring at James.
"James! What did you do?" Dan snapped. James looked down and stubbed his toes in the grass, jamming his hands in his pockets.
"I just told him a story," James muttered. "It's not my fault he's such a scaredy-cat."
"It wants to eat my brains!" Eddie wailed, burying his head in Dan's shoulder. A head of messy blonde hair poked up over the fence.
"Is it zombies?" Seamus asked excitedly, their neighbour always eager to investigate horror. He often bragged his mum had let him see scary movies, leaving Kevin and Aleks in awe of their friend. Eddie paled even further and Dan sighed, standing up and still holding Eddie to his chest.
"I'm taking him inside. Behave yourselves!" Dan ordered, pushing open the sliding door and walking into the kitchen to console Eddie. Seamus wiggled up and fell over the fence, landing hard on his rear. James laughed and Aleks winced, but Seamus just scowled and stood up, wiping dirt off his backside.
"I bet its zombies," Seamus said sourly.
"It's not even real. He's just scared of everything," James said, rolling his eyes. The two seven year olds walked across the lawn and sat on the porch steps together, talking animatedly about school. Aleks turned his attention back to Kevin, who was currently trying to do a rollie-polly backwards.
"You look like a pretzel," Aleks commented, and Kevin smiled at him from his awkward position. Kevin completed his backwards roll and Aleks applauded.
"Maybe you should have the clover," Aleks said, biting his lip. "Then you'll have good luck and you'll be able to do more fancy gymnastic thingys." Kevin smiled and shook his head.
"Nope! I picked it for you, so it's yours," he replied. Aleks blushed and held it closer.
"Thanks, Kevin," he mumbled. Kevin's cheeks lit up and he looked away, rubbing the back of his neck.
"It's fine," he replied. Silence passed until James called out.
"Gaaaaaaay!" he whisper-yelled, making himself and Seamus giggle like idiots. Their already red cheeks grew hotter and they inched away from each other, looking awkward.
"James! Where did you learn that word?" Dan snapped, marching out and folding his arms, a tear-stained Eddie behind him and clutching at his leg.
"Benny from school," James said indifferently.
"Stay away from Benny, he's being rude. And stop behaving so inappropriately!" Dan scolded. James' face fell and Seamus rolled his eyes as Dan walked back inside, Eddie still clinging to him like a baby Koala. Dan paused and looked back out the door.
"Oh, and Kevin! You're parents are picking you up later, they got caught in traffic," Dan said, before disappearing inside. Kevin smiled brightly and Aleks watched Seamus flick his hair out of his eyes and smirk.
"Dude," Seamus chuckled. "Burn." Aleks cast a glance at Kevin and smiled lopsidedly.
"It does give you good luck," Aleks whispered. "I wished for James to get in trouble." Kevin fell on his back and laughed, looking up at the sky and the leaves and Aleks fell beside him. The two lay there together, and Aleks was content. He hadn't really wished for James to get in trouble. He'd wished for more time with Kevin.
