So this one was a little hard for me to get inspired for, and it might not be quite as good as others, but I still kinda like what I ended up with. Hope you enjoy it too!

A Laugh

"Baaaaan-chaaaaaaan!"

Ban looked up to see his new partner Ginji waving and running towards him, grinning widely. "What took you so long, lightning punk?" Ban said as Ginji flopped onto the bench the brunette was sitting on. "Sorry Ban-chan I got a little lost and then the line was long and…"

Ban tuned out the rest of Ginji's babbling and focused instead on the burger in the blonde's hand. Snatching it, Ban finished eating before Ginji had stopped talking and began to greedily eye the blonde's burger.

Ban reached out to grab the other burger but stopped short when he was hit by a light shock.

"No way Ban-chan! This burger is mine!" Ginji said, sparks jumping across his skin. He took a huge bite of the burger, reveling in the meaty goodness.

Ban took the opportunity to lunge in and bite off a third of the burger. He heard a menacing crackle of electricity behind him and retreated from Ginji's retaliatory strike. The pair wrestled over what remained of the burger for a while, and eventually Ban decided to just let the lightning kid have the burger; getting electrocuted wasn't much fun after the first few times.

Ban looked up to hand over the burger and saw the weirdest thing he had ever seen in his life; a 3 foot tall version of Ginji. Ban stopped and stared, eyes wide, as the chibi pouted and folded its stubby arms angrily.

Ban started laughing so hard that he dropped the burger; he couldn't help it, his chibified partner was the funniest thing he had ever seen!

Ban held his sides, laughing so hard that tears streamed down his face. It was the first time he had laughed since Yamato's death; he didn't think he had ever laughed this hard in his entire life.

Ginji watched as Ban laughed himself hoarse. The brunette couldn't stop; the deformed THING in front of him was just too funny, although it was also kind of adorable (did I really just call something adorable? Ban thought).

And it was making puppy dog eyes at him. Ban could feel his heart starting to melt as he looked into those eyes, and his laughter slowly died away. He handed the chibi the sad remains of his burger.

Immediately, Ginji's face lit up in a huge megawatt smile. Paper fans appeared in his hands, and he immediately launched into a happy dance. Ban watched, completely entranced by the bizarre chibi in front of him.

Ginji suddenly turned back to normal and happily finished off his burger. "Thanks Ban-chan!" he said, smiling at his friend.

Ban nodded and wondered if the chibi thing was going to appear regularly from now on. Oh well, he thought, At least it'll be good for a laugh.
