Happy Birthday Kas!
Prepare for some Flash Fiction, which is just a bunch of little drabbles in one chapter.
Sugar Rush
:: (Established Iambic Prose)
"I COULD DO THIS ALL DAY!" Andrew Riter shook his head as he watched his mate fly around and around in circles, pupils blown wide from ghost chocolate that he had eaten that day. It had been hours and he was still on a sugar rush, flying into things and acting like a cat on catnip.
"I'm sure you could," Andrew muttered dryly, watching as Danny started looping around him before flying in and out of the bookshelves. Heading towards the garden, and hoping the peacefulness would calm Danny down, he was beaten when Danny got to the doors first. And slammed into them. Hard.
It took three seconds and Danny's groan of pain before Andrew was doubled over in laughter, glad he no longer needed breath. It was just- He had flew into a glass door. Who even did that?! Andrew was usually rather conservative but a goddamn glass door.
"Ow," Danny muttered, pulling himself up and silently realizing that he had flown into a glass door. He knew this would never be forgotten. Andrew would hold this over him for the rest of their unnatural lives. Hearing relative silence he looked back, making an ungodly snorting sound at seeing Andrew had passed out from laughing so hard.
It may have been petty to laugh as hard as he did but he didn't care, this was revenge in his eyes.

Fire Reveals What We Hold Most Dear
:: (Established Iambic Prose)
Danny breathed heavily, panic making him unable to change into his ghost form as the fires blazed around him. Andrew, still in his human illusion, had dragged him off into a corner and was trying to calm him down so they could escape. "Danny- Danny! I need you to listen to me, okay? We need to get out of here, especially before the smoke reaches your lungs."
"I- I can't- Not again-" Cursing Andrew tugged Danny down to the floor, trying to get him away from the smoke as much as possible. What had started as a simple trip to the bookstore had ended in a store wide fire starting, Danny freezing up as soon as he saw the flames, which Andrew couldn't figure out a reason for. He himself had been startled by the fires but he had done his best to keep calm.
"Danny, please, I need you to start paying attention. You need to change into your ghost-"
"NO!" Danny screamed, looking even more panicked and trying to escape Andrew's hold. "No, no, no, no no! I can't watch you die all over again!" Body freezing Andrew blinked, body feeling cold. How- He had never told Danny how he had died. "I can't watch you burn to death in the library all over again!"
"Danny...how do you know that..." Andrew asked quietly, heart breaking as he saw Danny's expression, terrified and horrified in equal amounts as tears ran down his face.
"Who do you think started the fire?"

Meet the Fentons
:: (Established Iambic Prose) (Human Andrew AU)
"I had to meet your parents eventually, mon cher," Andrew pointed out, Danny only groaning and hiding his face under his pillow, Andrew sitting on the bed beside him and rubbing his back. "I don't think it went that bad."
"The kitchen caught on fire when Mom tried to cook," Danny pointed out, voice flat as he heard knocking on his locked bedroom door. Grabbing the nearest thing to him he threw it at the door, the knocking stopping. Andrew only gave him a look, Danny huffing. "I am from this point on telling people I'm adopted."
"Danny..."
"What? Jazz did it!" Danny defended, stretching himself out over Andrew's lap, who just shook his head and lightly rubbed his back again. "The kitchen caught on fire, you almost caught on fire, Dad almost ended shoving you into the Ghost Zone by accident, and Jazz kept trying to give me the talk."
"...I can see why you are feeling anger over the last one," Andrew finally conceded, Danny groaning and blushing a bright red. "That bad?"
"Mortifying. She then proceeded to tell me that the first time you did anything wrong you would disappear in the middle of the night never to be seen again."
"...you sister is very terrifying." Danny only grunted in agreement, worn out from the disaster that had been Andrew officially meeting his family. "It always could have been-"
"Don't you dare," Danny hissed, both boys blinking when they heard renewed knocking at the door, Jazz screaming about being safe and using condoms. Andrew coughed nervously, Danny giving him a side glare from where he was laying. "I warned you."
"My apologies."

Once Upon A Time
:: (Established Iambic Prose) (Ghost Hunter Danny AU) (Half Ghost Andrew AU)
"Aaanddrreewww," Danny whined pitifully, "Saaave meee."
"I told you if you kept doing things like jumping off two-story buildings you would eventually break something," Andrew replied, unsympathetic to his boyfriend's whining. The two had been fighting a ghost when Danny had somehow thought leaping from a building was a good idea when Andrew wasn't there to catch him. "Maybe next time you'll think before doing something stupid."
"So says the speed-healer," Danny huffed, glaring at his broken leg. Honestly it wasn't that bad, and they had caught the ghost! "It's so boring in here."
"That's called punishment," Andrew pointed out, shifting around in the uncomfortable sitting chair. Since Danny was confined to the hospital for a few days yet and Andrew was at at school all day he usually spent the night with Danny, phasing through the walls and hiding from nurses.
"You are cruel and heartless," Danny huffed, looking irritated as he pulled the cover over his face, hoping to suffocate to death. Feeling the blanket pulled away and an amused Andrew looking down at him he poked his tongue out. "I'm bored. Read me a story."
"...you want me to read you a story..." Andrew repeated, looking confused as he held Danny's head still and looked into his eyes. "Wow, judging by your pupils I'm guessing they have you on rather strong stuff."
"It's great," Danny agreed, grinning widely. "I feel like I can fly."
"Wow, no, that- That is a terrible idea," Andrew spoke, kissing Danny's forehead. "Please stay on the ground unless I'm actually there to catch you...like I should have been..."
"If you do a guilt trip I will hit you with my pillow."
"I'm not-" Andrew was cut off as a pillow was suddenly in his face. Blinking he looked over at Danny, who was putting the pillow back under his head. "Did you just hit me in the face with a pillow."
"You were warned. Now read to me." Andrew managed to resist for a good ten seconds before he sighed, sitting back in his uncomfortable hospital chair. "No, you have to lay next to me and read to me." Seeing Andrew's look he did his best pout. "I'm cold and lonely."
Andrew didn't even last a second. Soon he was tucked in next to Danny, being carefully of the bruised body and broken leg, and quietly telling him a a story as he fell asleep, looking almost amused at how adorable Danny looked when he was asleep, "You really shall be the end of me, mon cher..."

How Many Lightbulbs...
:: (Established Iambic Prose)
"So boys, answer me this, how many ghosts does it take to change a light bulb?" While Andrew blushed and looked at the ceiling in stoic silence Danny glared down at Sam, who was holding her phone up and taking pictures of the two, who were trapped in a green, ghost-proof net five feet of the floor.
"Sammy I swear-"
"None, because they forget this is a ghost hunter's lab and end up getting trapped while changing one!" Sam still couldn't believe that trying to change a broken light had ended up with them trapped and covered in scratches, various ghost traps broken and scattered around her feet. "How did you even manage this?"
"Just get us down," Danny whined, looking pained as Sam shook her head and reached for a stray axe, walking over to the other side of the room. "Wait- Wait Sam- What are you- DON'T-" A swift slice of the rope and the two were on the ground, groaning at their rough landing. "Sammy...I hate you..."
"Whoops, guess I should have thought things through."
Honestly.
