Kankri had left for his date not more than thirty minutes ago and Cronus was already pacing around. Was it going good? Was it not? He had to know, but how?
Who was he kidding, he knew how. This was obviously the time for his perfect sleuthing skills, a little espionage mission was in order right about now. Luckily Kankri told him where they were going, on a picnic down in the park. He exited his hive and made his way down to the spy on them.
He found them sitting by the pond, food spread out on a blanket. He ducked behind a tree near by. Kankri was chatting away Porrim's ear. He was back to his old chatty self. Porrim didn't seem to mind.
He had been there about five minutes when he heard something behind him, it sounded like a crash. "What are you doing?" Said someone with a heavy lisp. He turned around to see Mituna pulling himself up off the ground.
He shushed him and turned back to the pair. "None of your business, now get outta here before you get me caught." He waved a hand at him. He didn't want Mituna annoying him and distraction him.
Mituna knelt down beside him. "Why are you spying on them?" He poked Cronus' back. Cronus slapped his hand away. Mituna let out a small yelp.
"Like I said, none of your damn business." At this point he was getting pretty irritated. He didn't want this idiot blowing his cover.
"Can I spy with you?" He peeked from around the tree like Cronus. "Why are you spying on Kankri and Porrim?" He questioned.
"Listen, you can stay if you shut your trap." He put a finger to his lips, in return Mituna did the same.
Porrim had now scooted closer to Kankri, hell, she was practically on top of him. Kankri was saying how this kind of intimacy on the first date could trigger something and blah blah blah, the usual Kankri stuff. She threw her arms around him and started to lean in.
"You know you're cute when you rant." She whispered, she leaned in the few remaining inches and kissed him. Kankri turned a new shade of red he had never seen. Who did this broad think she was, kissing and everything and being all seductive. It was about time he put a stop to this. He just needed some help.
"This is gross, why are you watching them kiss?" Mituna had interrupted his thoughts. He think he just found his someone. Maybe he was good for something after all.
"Hey Tuna, can you do me a favor?" He smirked and put and arm around Mituna.
"Uh, what is it? I'm not sure if I can." He turned away, not comfortable with how close Cronus was.
"I just need you to create a distraction up there." He pointed towards the two, still kissing, Porrim definitely the dominant. The nerve to do such a thing in public. Now granted he would probably do that in public, but it was different. Well, not really... Oh shut up. It was different some how.
"I guess, but how?" He inched away from Cronus.
"Just do your little wheely thing." He picked up the skateboard and threw it to Mituna, he tried to catch but it hit him and he fell over. He picked him up and thrusted the skateboard into his chest. "Now go." He hopped on the skateboard and started riding in their direction.
He rode around them a few times, but they didn't seem to notice. He got a little closer this time, but still no reaction.
He rode passed them again, and according to Cronus' plan he fell right on his face a few feet away from them. Now maybe Mituna wasn't planning on falling, but Cronus was counting on it. And that did the trick because Kankri and Porrim snapped their heads around to see him after the crash. They both ran towards his aid.
To be honest, Cronus wasn't sure what his plan was after this. After they help him up they sure to go back to their date. He had to start thinking a head.
"Are you alright?" Porrim help him up and her motherly instincts kicked in, checking for bleeding or bruises. She had always been like that, all caring and loving, Cronus could see how she had some many suitors after her, that and her looks.
"I'm fine, Cronus told me to do it." He pointed over towards the tree he was behind. What was he doing? He wasn't suppose to tell, he's going to blow his cover! What an idiot, how could he have trusted him? He had to get out of there before they-
"Cronus, were you spying on us?" Kankri asked. He had made his way over to the tree and was standing before him.
"No, why would you think that chief?" He put up his hands and shrugged.
"Mituna told was. Now why would be lie? It's not right to spy in on other people, especially on with others are having intimate moments." The color came back to Kankri's cheeks at the thought. "I would like an apology. I would ask request that you respect others privacy-" had interrupted him.
"Kanny, it's okay, I can handle this." She said sweetly. Kankri shook his head and headed back to the blanket. When he was out of earshot Porrim turns back to him, the sweet look whipped of her face. "Look here, everyone knows you have a 'thing' for Kankri, but he wants nothing to do with you. It would just be best of you leave him alone from now on." Her glare as strong as ever.
"Look, I don't know what you're talking about." He put up his hands. Had he really been that obvious? It's not like he ever came on that hard, had he? He always thought he hid it well. Maybe?
She laughed. "Look, not everyone is as clueless as Kankri is. It's obvious you want to be his matesprite, but he's with me now. So leave him alone." She turned and headed back to Kankri. They had only been on one date, how could it be official yet?
"Uh, sorry for telling." He heard Mituna behind him. He was cowering in fear of what Cronus might do.
He turned and glared at him. He didn't know what to say, so instead he walked up to Mituna and tore his helmet of his head. "What are you doing?" He cried. He walked to a tree and threw his helmet up on to a tree branch and stormed off. He started jumping to reach it, but there was no way he could. Thanks to that idiot his chances were blown.
Well, maybe he never really had any to start out with.
I'm not sure if I like this chapter as much, but here it is anyway.
