I don't own the band or the name of the song. Enjoy. PS, second oneshot's yaoi.

*Means of Defense (sequel to Monster in the Bathroom)*

"Skales, what are you—"

"SHHHHH!" Pythor stopped with surprise when the Hypnobrai hushed him harshly and loudly at him before holding up a broom like he's going to clobber someone with it when he comes around the corner.

"There's a monster here!" he hissed quietly. Pythor blinked with surprise before turning invisible.

"Alright," he whispered. "Ready when you are…" They quieted down when they heard running footsteps approaching…and a figure dashed forward!

"Skales, wait a—"

"GET 'IM!" Skales roared, beating the surprised monster on the head with the broom. Pythor would've helped him if he hadn't noticed who the monster really is.

"Skales, stop!" he cried, becoming visible again. "That's Kai!" Skales stopped and looked down with surprise. It is Kai!

"Uh, sorry, Kai," he said as the Red Ninja got up with a groan and rubbed his head. "I thought you were a monster."

"Nah, it's cool," he replied. "'Sides, you took care of my bad hair day…though I'd prefer a brush."

*Stay Like This With Me (sequel to Sneaking Out)*

As they reclined against the thick trunk of a tall tree, Cole sat on Skalidor's lap and rested his head against his throat just under his chin. He smiled as he caressed the snake's shoulder gently, loving how his replying purr relaxes him like his mother's melody.

Skalidor meanwhile feels content being with his Black Ninja. Ever since he first laid his golden eyes on him, he wanted so badly to make him his main squeeze (literally and figuratively). His black hair, dark eyes, and dark-and-silver ninja gear makes him look like one of his own Tribes-Snakes.

The Constrictai cherishes the nights they stay together, but it pains him when they part. But they know that they had to; otherwise, the others will get suspicious. Then they'll investigate and find out about their affair, and they'll tear them apart like Romeo and Juliet.

But…I really want to be with Cole, Skalidor thought to himself, screwing his eyes shut with a growl. Hearing it, Cole looked up to see the tears in his snake's eyes.

"Skali?" he asked, gently wiping his tears away. "Hey, hey…what's wro-" He stopped suddenly when the black snake quickly but gently grabbed his hand wiping his tears away…and opened his eyes to look into his.

"I…I want you to stay like this with me…longer than we usually do," he whispered to him with a lump in his throat. "I want to take you away with me…to marry you…have my Tribe accept you as one of our own…But I can't…if they find out about us, they'll take you away from me…I don't want that…but I want you, Cole…" The human then placed his finger on his scaly lips to shush him and gave him a gentle smile.

"If you really want me to stay with you like that, then I want you to do me a favor in return."

"Anything," Skalidor replied, squeezing his hand hopefully. Cole then brought his face closer to his.

"I want you to stay like this with me too." Then he pressed his lips into his for a kiss. With renewed hope in his heart, Skalidor wrapped his arms and coils around him and returned the kiss with a fiery passion.

*Fun While Working*

Pythor smiled and bobbed his head to the rhythm as he vacuumed the floor to Maroon 5's Animals. As he vacuumed, his tail dusted the shelves with a feather duster. Who says you can't have fun while working? Apparently, whoever said that didn't count on really good music to help past the time.

"Hey, Pythor, do you know where the—WHAT THE—" He stopped doing what he was doing and turned to Kai and Cole, who are standing at the doorway with gapping mouths.

"What?" he asked with annoyance. "I wanted some music to work to."

"But in that?" Kai asked, pointing at the apron he has on around his waist. Pythor looked down at it before shooting the two ninja a glare.

"Either of you laugh, and both of you are doing the windows." That shut both ninja up.
