Drabble 2: Bad Day
By: Kigen
Unofficially entitled Bedtime Stories of a Crimson Nightmare… Drabble two!
Drabble two brings us YohLyserg, a little angst, and fluff. And it'll still be rated T for at least two chapters after this!
Disclaimer: Lyserg was never kidnapped by Hao and had Yoh come save him. This is proof that Shaman King isn't mine.
:-:-:-:-:
Lyserg swore under his breath. Today could not have been any worse.
He still didn't know how to use the cell phone that he had gotten only a few days before. He had taken the wrong bus and now had no idea where he was. The cell phone said it was roaming. And even though he wasn't sure what that meant, from the electronic "Will you except the roaming charges?", he felt as though he was throwing away the rest of his parents' immense fortune. It had taken him eight separate tries to call Yoh because he couldn't remember the stupid number (he lived with Yoh and never had to call himself). It was getting dark. He was still lost. And now?
His damn battery was going dead.
"Pick up, pick up." Lyserg chanted under his breath as the phone rang and rang. Please let him get the number right this time.
"Hello?" Thank the spirits!
"Yoh?"
"Lyserg? Is that you? Where are you? You were supposed to be back by now."
"I'm...lost."
"Lost?"
"Yes, Yoh. Lost."
"Do you have any idea where you are?"
"Some place called...Midori..." Lyserg looked at a sign. Why the hell was the town called green anyway?
"Midori? How did you get all the way out there?"
"I don't know Yoh." Lyserg sighed. "Can you please come get me?"
"Okay, hold on. I'll get there as soon as i can."
"Okay Yoh. Yoh? Yoh?" Lyserg looked at his phone.
The battery had died...
Biting back a distressed whimper, Lyserg slide to the ground; his back against the tree he hiding under. It was getting dark, he was lost, his phone was dead and he had no idea when Yoh was gonna get here... What else could go wrong?
Something wet hit his face.
Looking up and blinking, Lyserg didn't know wither to cry or laugh.
It was raining. RAINING!
Groaning to himself, Lyserg wrapped his arms around his knees and buried his face in his knees. The only thing missing was the cliché wanted axe murder who would find him, cold and alone; then kill him in a very painful, bloody way.
It was about half an hour later when Yoh found Lyserg. The poor boy was curled up into a ball, soaked to the bone, shivering, and looking absolutely pitiful.
Kneeling next to the boy, Yoh warped his arms around Lyserg. He smiled when Lyserg hugged back.
"Let's get home and warmed up, all right?" Yoh asked softly.
Lyserg nodded, letting yoh pull him to his feet and into the car that Manta had provided (along with a driver).
Once home, Lyserg found himself being given a hot bath, warm meal, and before he could blink, wrapped up in a thick blanket with Yoh.
With a sigh, Lyserg buried his face in Yoh's neck. He snuggled close as Yoh wrapped his arms around the boy
At least not everything about his day had been bad.
:-:-:-:-:
The end was fluffy, wasn't it? Hoped you all enjoyed the second drabble. Next time will be either another HaoLyserg or HaoLysergYoh. Please read and review.
Ja manna-san.
