And here are a few more drabbles. It's gotten rather busier at work, which is why I sort of slowed down with these. Regardless, enjoy anyway! Number 25 is dedicated to a certain someone, heh. You know who you are! ;)
24 – Worry
Every time he went on a mission with the others (and someone bothered to tell her about it) she always worried just a little. She wasn't worried that anything would hurt him, because he had her protection, and that made him invincible in her eyes.
She worried about the small things, like if anything would happen to his hair, or if he'd get a nasty cut on his face that would scar.
She knew that anyone else would scoff at those concerns, consider them to be trivial matters, but those people just didn't understand Neil the way that she did.
25 – Mother's Day
Herry tapped his foot impatiently and wondered why he had agreed to this. Shopping with Neil was always a long and drawn out affair.
"What do you think of these, Herry?" Neil was holding a pair of huge white framed sunglasses.
"Uh, Neil, those are women's glasses."
"Uh, yeah, I know! They're for Aphrodite."
"You're buying her sunglasses?"
"It's for Mother's Day!" Neil gave him a look that suggested that Herry ought to have known this.
"But Aphrodite isn't your mother, Neil."
"So? They'll look fabulous on her!"
"I can't believe you buy her presents."
"We're very close, you know."
26 – Dating
"Did you know that Narcissus had some guy that fell in love with him?"
"Oh yes, he was lovely."
"Being gay is pretty trendy these days. Do you think I should try it?"
"It couldn't hurt. Well, it could, actually…" The goddess mumbled that last line to herself, but Neil was so caught up in his thoughts that he wouldn't have heard it anyway.
"I'd have to be very selective, though. It would be very hard to find someone good looking enough."
"True."
"Oh man, if only I could clone myself! I could date me!"
"You'd be a trend setter."
