Anthology of Love

Disclaimer: I don't own Xiaolin Showdown, or any of the characters in it, so...don't say I didn't tell you that they weren't.
Warning(s):Ok, cursing, malexmale relationship, strong references to sex, but no actual sex scenes, and...probably general stupidity, corniness, or idiocy aside from that.
Notes: Well, lately I've been seeing a good deal of those one-word prompts for short/one-sentence stories, and so I figured I'd give it a try. I did a few, and found something out about myself: I really like them! XD So this would be the result.

371. Silence-
Chase was highly pleased.
He hadn't had to use the duct tape to achieve his desired silence for going on two weeks now. It seemed like the albino could be trained, after all!
"Chase, can we get one of those weiner dogs? I'll take care of it and everything, feed it, clean up after it, take it for walks around the citadel; it'd be great, you know? Its first name could be Oscar and its last name'd be Mayer, and on Halloween we could put a bun on it and spray red and yellow squiggly lines on his back with spray-paint, and..."
...Nevermind.
Jack Spicer was untrainable.
372. Moo-
"This may be the sheer most irresponsible and just plain stupidest thing you've ever done," the warlord ranted in a fury, " and with you, that's saying something!"
Jack took a casual, slurping sip of his milkshake, as if totally unaware of the absolute disarray of his lover's palace around him, the shattered bits of glass and other debris strewn over the floor, several big cats unconscious or intoxicated by catnip, and the mysterious, clear liquid in random puddles on the ground.
"Hey, easy, Chase," he soothed, "don't have a cow."
Upon then looking at his milkshake and realizing that there was also a picture of a cow on it, Jack giggled before stating, "Moo."
Chase roared in blind rage, kicking over a passed-out warrior from frustration.
373. Baby-
Jack gasped as he felt large hands working the tense muscles of his shoulders into submission, leaning back into his lover's chest with a relaxed sigh.
"Hey, Chase," he practically purred, eyes sliding shut from the pleased calm that resonated from his core, "what's with the visit?"
The goth was a bit concerned when his beloved didn't immediately reply, but he soon heard the firm statement of, "I've been thinking, Jack..."
Cracking an eye open, the teen questioned, "Yeah?"
It seemed that the warlord was hesitant to broaching whatever it was that he wanted to say, but it was soon overcome, and Chase demanded, "Let's have a baby."
"Wh-what?!" Jack sputtered in surprise, whirling about to face the older man. "You serious?!"
"As a heart-attack," Chase assured, "I want to have a child with you."
"But-but-but-but...why? How?" Jack's tone was that of one helplessly confused.
"You are the first one with whom I've been so deeply and so long involved, and I would like an heir from you." Chase's tone, on the other hand, was calm, collected, and casual, as if he wasn't talking about something that was a big deal.
"And as I see it, there are a number of ways how; first, the question is: would you want to? I won't force you into anything, rabbit."
Jack took a moment to think about it and briefly pictured a family scene, a faceless child in his arms and a tender look on his face, Chase behind him with his hands on his shoulders as he softly nuzzled his younger lover's throat, pleased with the small family he had been given.
An intense warmth welled up in his chest at the mental image, and though he knew it would be hard to raise a child, Jack was unable to force down the sudden sheer want of it.
"I want to," he decided. "But how are we gonna-"
"Hush, mate," Chase coaxed, scooping the youth into his lap and petting his hair, "like I said, there is more than one way for us to have a family, and it will be your choice how we will go about it."
Jack was touched at the responsibility given to him by his lover, and so listened carefully as the man continued.
"We could adopt, first of all."
The albino considered this, but soon declined, "No. It'd be nice to save an orphan and all, but...it seems impersonal to me, y'know? It would just be some stranger's kid, not really ours."
"Fair enough," Chase accepted, proposing, "then perhaps we could use a surrogate-"
"Hell no!" Jack outright refused, "I don't want some slut touching you, even if it is for a baby, and I doubt you'd stand it if it was the other way around!"
"True, lover, true," Chase agreed, calming the younger male with a quick kiss, "there is one other way..."
Jack was puzzled: how else could they, a homosexual couple, get a child?
"We could try the natural approach: you could conceive."
"Huh?" the goth gaped dumbly, "What do you mean, 'conceive'? Like...get pregnant?"
"Yes, 'get pregnant'," Chase scoffed, "it wouldn't take much magic to make it possible for that to happen, and, of course, I would make sure it would be entirely safe; what do you think of that one, rabbit?"
Jack breathed deeply for a long moment, eyes wide; he could...get pregnant? Have a baby naturally?
...wow.
"I like it, " Jack decided, "let's do that one."
Chase was clearly pleased with the goth's choice, and he snaked a hand down to lay flat on his lover's stomach, kissing him roughly as a dark glow lit up his hand.
Jack moaned low in his chest at the weird feeling that began to emanate from his middle; it didn't hurt, per se, it was just...well, weird.
The man pulled away, the albino blinking up at him even as Chase plainly stated, "You are able to conceive, now, Jack. Would you like a minute to get used to the feeling, or do you want to begin trying for a little one now?"
Chase's answer was a smoldering, lustful look before Jack pounced on him, already tearing off clothes.
374. Mouth-
Chase absolutely reveled in the fact that Jack was a 'messy' eater.
"You've got a bit of chocolate sauce of your lip, Spicer..."
"Really?" the goth chirped in surprise, wiping at where he guessed the syrupy liquid was (and his guess, mind you, was wrong).
Chase chuckled darkly, tugging Jack closer and graciously offering, "I'll get it for you," before leaning forward to take his lover's bottom lip into his mouth, suckling lightly at it until the rich, chocolate flavor was gone.
Jack, face lightly flushed from the unexpected action, suddenly obtained a sly look and grabbed the bottle of chocolate sauce before tugging on the collar of his shirt and pouring some of it down along his chest, ignoring the slight shiver that wracked his body at the chill of the substance.
"Oh, Chase, look!" he exclaimed in faux dismay. "I spilled it all down my shirt, too!"
The warlord growled lustfully, practically tearing off his lover's shirt and licking a hot, chocolatey trail from Jack's flat stomach up to his collarbone, prompting a weak groan from the goth before he roughly tore the bottle from pale, calloused hands and tugged at the youth's waistband, squeezing a good amount of syrup out and making Jack yelp at the cold.
"Why, look at that, mate," Chase 'tsk'-ed, "you've even managed to get it in your underwear!" Putting on the air of someone being forced to do something troublesome, he continued, "I suppose I'll have to lick you clean, now..."
And then it was Jack who was glad for his 'messy' eating habits.
375. Fury-
"Chase, you're such an unbelievable bastard!" Jack snarled at his lover, "Here I am, fucking seven months pregnant, 'cause you fucking wanted a kid, and you don't even mother-fucking listen to me!"
Where any sensible mortal would run in terror at the goth's wild, hormone-induced fury, Chase got right in front of his lover, dropping to his knees to nuzzle affectionately at Jack's heavily-pregnant stomach as he apologized, "I'm sorry, mate, I was preoccupied with the monks; if it still means something to you, I'll listen now."
A soft whimper escaped the albino's throat at the caring gesture, and he, too, collapsed to the floor, whining as he held back tears upon Chase's cuddling of him up against the man's strong chest. "Oh, gawd, Chase, I'm so sorry! I'm such an awful bitch, lately! You should just kick me out, or something!"
Chase was sure to keep his tone gentle as he cradled the teen's swollen belly with one arm, assuring, "Never, Jack; I'll always put up with you."
The goth sniffled slightly, wiping away a few tears that had gotten free before falling silent.
"......I'm a little horny..."
Chase grinned, taking his lover's lips hungrily even as he internally cackled.
It was all about knowing how to deal with the mood swings...
376. Wizard-
Jack leapt into his master's lap, gratified to feel Chase's gloved fingers scratching affectionately at his head, rubbing over his fluffy white ears and drawing a deep purr from his throat.
Maybe soon, the dark wizard would realize that he wasn't really a kitten and change him back into a human!
If and when he did...maybe...maybe the cursed boy could finally tell Chase how he felt...
377. Rattles-
Jack smiled fondly as Salem giggled in his arms, her small, chubby hands shaking a black and red rattle back and forth with absolute delight.
His little girl was so precious!
Chase chose that moment to sneak up on the new mother, an arm curling around Jack's waist (careful of the tender area with the Caesarian scar) and turning the younger's face to his for a loving kiss.
Pulling away after a moment, the warlord turned his gaze to the dark-haired baby in his mate's arms, meeting the bright, mismatched red-and-gold eyes (only one affected with albinism and the poor sight that went with it) as he questioned, "And how is my lovely gem of a daughter today?"
"Oh, she's just fine," Jack assured, bouncing Salem up and down slightly to the young girl's delight, "she grew a tail for ten minutes earlier and smacked Diol in the face with it, and she got a little chew-happy on Jeza's tail with her new fangs."
Chase laughed loudly and openly at the regaling of Salem's antics upon his unfortunate warriors, and gently rubbed a gloved hand over her small head, praising, "She'll be a fierce warrior one day; you've given me a strong child, Jack."
A thrill of pride shot through the albino's heart, and he easily allowed Chase to put his arms around him lovingly. Eyes fixed firmly on his- their child, he happily muttered, "Yeah, I guess I did..."
378. Octopus-
Chase froze upon opening a door in his palace, seeing his lover surrounded by three clowns, nine monkeys, and one octopus on his head while he juggled bowling pins on a unicycle, eyes wide and an expression that screamed 'guilty' at being caught doing...whatever this was.
The warlord, saying not a word, shut the door and walked away.
379. Incapable-
Chase had thought himself incapable of emotion, unable to feel.
Then, of course, he had stumbled upon one Jack Spicer in an abusive relationship, and it was then that he realized he still felt many things: rage upon seeing the bruises and cuts littered over the albino's stark-white skin, jealousy at every touch of the aggressive male to what he now recognized as his Jack, indignity towards seeing the teen take all the abuse thrown at him and still allow that scum to kiss him, and then finally, satisfaction while he lay in bed with his new lover, the goth curled up and asleep against him as he gazed with a smirk out his window at the gruesomely-tortured, bloody head on a pike outside.
No one fucked with Chase Young's property.
380. Gnome-
Chase growled upon returning from a brief outing, and he immediately teleported to his lover's room, snatching the goth up by the front of his shirt and demanding, "Why is there a gnome out in front, Spicer?!"
Jack's tone was completely innocent as he answered, "The flamingo was lonely."

A/N: Silence- I really want to get a weiner dog and do all that stuff Jack was talking about, with the name, and the Halloween, and...yeah. 0.o
Moo- If anyone's wondering, Naruto the Abridged Series, Episode 2, at the end:
Hokage: Kakashi! We need to end on something funny; pick up that milk!
Kakashi: Yes, sir! Ha ha, it has a picture of a cow on it. Ha ha ha, 'moo'.
XD
Baby- Because there's not enough mpreg for chack in general, and the only two I've done in this story already were barely anything. -.- Oh, and also? Matt was reading this aloud (with my mother present, by the way), and he misread Chase's line, "I won't force you into anything" as "I won't force anything into you" ...I was ready to kill him, I swear, I would've if he wasn't, like, 2 feet taller than me, a guy, and there weren't so many witnesses present. -.-" Stupid Matt... :shakes head disparagingly: But, thankfully, we all just laughed hysterically at it(my mom's cool like that, and she already knew I like yaoi), and no one got in trouble. :D
Mouth- ...I like chocolate. Don't you? XD
Fury- Continuation of Baby. Jack is tortured by his hormones, and Chase is a smooth operator for knowing how to handle it. XD
Wizard- Oh noes, someone has turned Jack into a kitty (my bet's on fairy-tale!Wuya)! And its up to Chase to figure out that Jack is actually a human so that he can change him back, 'cause otherwise, they'll just be wizard and pet cat instead of being lovers and making sweet, sweet love down by the fire! XD
Rattles- Continuation of Baby and Fury; Salem is my favorite name for a girl (Jack's my favorite for a boy ;D) so I had to make Chase and Jack's baby 'Salem'. Other than that...AREN'T THEY PRECIOUS?! XD
Octopus- Don't even ask, I don't know either, but Chase made a good move: just walk away. -.-
Incapable- I don't know why, I've just always been attracted to the idea of Jack moving on from his unreciprocated crush on Chase and smacking headfirst into an abusive relationship, thus prompting Chase to get really-super-jealous/angry and kill him. It sorta keeps them in character: Jack has bad luck in love and doesn't fight back, and Chase is uber-danerous and wouldn't admit his feelings for Jack until something happened to make it necessary.
Gnome- This is a continuation of Flamingo from Chapter 2 (holy crap, is it really Chapter 38 already?). Jack likes putting random lawn decorations in front of the citadel, much to Chase's chagrin; it makes it look less manly and pwnsom3. XD
And that's the end of Chapter 38 (posted the same day as Chapter 37), so thanks for reading, and I hope you liked it! :D
