Started a small October - Halloween challenge in an attempt to practice drabbling. I'll be posting one up each day, so there are three today so I can catch up. They'll be spread out through my Mayhem collections, four for each pairing except LawLu, KidKiller, and DoflaCroc will have five. The theme list was originally for drawing and if anyone wants it PM me and I'll send it to you.
How someone as tall as Doflamingo snuck around without making a sound was beyond Crocodile. The brush of feathers across the back of his neck before the blonde draped his arms over him alerted him to the other Warlord's presence.
"What do you want Bird?"
"Nothing, I haven't seen you in such a long time. I thought it'd be nice to come by say hello."
"Then learn to do so in a professional manner." Crocodile shrugged him off and continued down the hall.
"But our relation is anything but professional." Crocodile swore he could hear the grin stretch across Doflamingo's face. The tall blonde caught up to him easily. "They say this part of the building is haunted." He said almost conversationally.
"Hmpf," Crocodile led the way back to the meeting room where they would spend the next hour with the few other Warlords who had shown up and Marine officials. "Don't tell me you believe such nonsense."
"How can I not? We pirates have seen many a thing that most don't believe."
"That's just the Grand Line…" As Crocodile reached for the door that would bring the pair into the main corridor, the latch locked and the windows behind them shook violently.
He tried the handle anyway. The doors remained firmly shut. Behind them there was a swooshing sound accompanied by a sudden dimness. All of the curtains were closing down the hall in a line, the effect having an approaching darkness feel to it. The two warlords stood in silence for a moment before Doflamingo moved Crocodile to the side and kicked open the door. They left swiftly, ignoring the delighted giggle behind them.
