||Uncle Tor|| A One Shot Drabble

"Hey, what about this one? It's supposed t'be pretty good." Tor asked, picking up a copy of Far Cry 4.

"Maybe. I liked FC3." Ray said, browsing the shelves of the Game Stop. They'd come to stock up on games for when the summer drought hit.

"Daddy? Can I get this one, please?" Lily asked, running up with a copy of Omega Ruby.

"Sure." Ray said, patting her head. "I think I have a 3DS somewhere at home you can play it on."

"Thank you!" She smiled, holding the game close to her chest.

Tor just stood by, watching awkwardly. He wasn't very good with kids, despite having so many younger cousins. He hadn't seen his family much after the incident with Dis' Grimoire. So he didn't really know how to act around Lily.

"They seem to be out of Evolve. I'll ask if they have any copies in back, so watch Lily for a bit." Ray said, casually leaving Tor alone with his offspring as he went to look for a shop assistant.

'Oi, don't just leave me here with yer spawn!' Tor thought to himself, trying not to panic as he eyed Lily with trepidation. What was he supposed to do? What did you do with kids? Put on puppet shows? Duck tape them to the floor in front of the TV and put on educational cartoons? Bribe them with candy so they wouldn't cry? Probably bribe them with candy.

Lily stared back at him with her big emrand eyes, seemingly waiting for him to say something. He tried to ignore her, but she kept looking at him so expectantly. Like he was supposed to talk to her or something.

"Uh, ya wanna hear a joke?" He finally asked, not able to stand her silent gaze any longer.

She nodded.

"So, what do ya call a ring made of iron?" He asked, pausing for her to take a guess. She didn't. "A ferrous wheel."

She didn't laugh.

"Ok, uh, what do ya call a tooth in a glass of water?" He was greeted with silence. "A one molar solution."

No reaction.

"…How did carbon propose to Hydrogen? With a 'carbonkneel'."

Again, nothing.

At the end of his rope, Tor took a deep breath and brought out his best joke. "A neutron walks into a restaurant and orders a couple of sodas. As she is about to leave, she asks the waiter how much she owes. The waiter replies, 'For you, No Charge!'"

She just stared at him.

Utterly defeated, Tor hung his head in shame. He had failed to get even one giggle out of her with his jokes. He was a failure.

But then he felt someone take hold of his hand, and looked at it to see Lily was the one attacked to it.

"I like you Uncle Tor. You're nice." She said, smiling cheerfully up at him. It was a smile like a happy little yellow sun drawn in the upper righthand corner of a child's picture, full of innocence and joy.

"I, uh… thanks." Tor blushed, not sure how on earth he'd succeeded in getting her to like him. He felt kind of happy, though.

"Alright, I managed to snag the last copy." Ray said, coming back over towards them. He raised an eyebrow at Tor's blush. "What's with you?"

"Nothin'." He said, clearing his throat and avoiding eye contact.

"Well whatever, I think we're about ready to check out. You want to come with me to buy your game, Lily?" Ray asked, holding his hand out for his daughter as he smiled down at her.

"Ok!" Lily let go of Tor's hand and went over to her father, taking hold of his.

As they went off towards the register, Tor caught the whisper Lily gave to Ray. "I like Uncle Tor a lot. He's kind of pathetic."

"I just do not get kids…" Tor muttered, shoving his hands in his pockets and following along behind them. Well whatever. He'd take what he could get.

Hang in there Tor

leocentric

“So I told ya about that girl I went on a date with last week, right? Well she called me up today an’ asked to hang...” Tor says, says, taking another big swig of Jack. “I get there, fer the date, or whatever it was supposed to be... an’ we flirt, an’ go to the park like we did last time. Annnn’ we kiss and stuff. Only after a while she asks if we can go somewhere ‘more private’. Which I think means some sloppy makeouts, right? So she takes me to the club we first met at, y’know where I was covering a friend’s shift that one time? An’ she takes me to the back room. It was like, real fancy and shit. Fer private parties. So we start makin’ out, and it’s going good. But then she tells me she wants to do it. An’ I’m like ‘no, ye’re still a virgin, ya hadn’t even kissed anyone ‘fore me, ye’re not ready’. Then she gets this call, an’ says she has to go home, so I take her back to her dorm, right? Then when we get there, her sis opens the door all ‘I’m gonna kill ya’! An’ I’m like, ‘hey, if yer mad at her fer going on a date with me, then I should be here fer yer bitchin’ her out fer it.’ But it turns out, she ain’t mad at her sis fer goin’ on a date with me. She’s mad cause she is her sis! Her sis an’ her switched bodies ‘cause of some weird magic, and her sis pretended to be her to test me! I was on a date with her sis the whole fucking time and I’d thought it was her!”

||The Ritual of Unlife||

"Ya think ye're ready fer this?" Tor asked, stopping just outside the door to his parents lab. They'd come all the way to Wisconsin for this, and the entire way Tor had been explaining how this was going to work. He wasn't sure Ray had understood everything he'd said, so he was trying to make certain Ray was ready for what was about to happen.

||Vidja Gamez|| @Ray

Tor was looking through his video game collection, trying to pick something to play. Halo? Left4Dead? Mortal Combat? Ah, Grand Theft Auto. That would do. Tor popped the game disc into his PS2 and turned on the game, but didn't press start yet. He went to the kitchen and rounded up various flavors of chips and some mountain dew, and made sure there was beer and whisky in the fridge in case Ray asked for it.

||Girl's Day Out||

Dis tugged on her knee-high combat boots, dressed in her favorite purple short-shorts and a black tank-top with artful slashes across the breast area. She wore a purple bandeau beneath it to cover her bra so it didn't show. Arm warmers went from her hands to her elbows, and her fingernails were painted black-purple black. She looked all ready for a girl's day out, were it not for the slight tremor in her hands. But she knew with the fear, she couldn't let it hold her back. He had been caught. He was awaiting trial. He would be convicted. She had already given her statement, and the physical evidence had been handed over. Her therapist had suggested a girls day out to get her back into a more outgoing and regular routine, and she had agreed. All she had to do was wait to be picked up, go out and have a good time.

||Kiss and Make Up|| @AU Ko

Dis lay awake in bed, unable to sleep. She felt so lonely without Ko-chan snuggled up next to her. For the past few days Dis had been sulking, upset with her fiance. And to Ko's credit she had been doing everything she could to please Dis. The anger Dis had felt had already turned to longing, the girl never one to stay mad more than a few days at most. Quietly she slipped out from under the covers and padded to the living room. There was Ko-chan, asleep on the couch. Slowly, careful not to wake the other, Dis slipped under the blanket and wrapped herself up in Ko's arms. It felt so good to be held by Ko, to bury herself against her lovers chest and breath in her scent. Eyes shutting in blissful sleep, Dis waited patiently for morning.
