DWC 2024 - Day 5 - Captive/Skill

Everything was getting hazier by the moment as his vision focused in on the elf, the acting breathing was so tiring as he lay still under the eye of the watcher. There were a million and one questions running through his brain to ask, but the only one at the forefront was if he could just sleep. Sleeping sounded so nice at this point as grew stiller by the blink.

"I understand time is not something to really worry about, but I would like to insist on an answer sooner than later," the elf continued as he leaned closer into the orc's face. His skin was dark purple like a night elf's and the eyes the standard glowing yellow but there something far more otherworldly. There shouldn't be pupils. Sand. Swirling sand.

A smooth hand came to gently brush open his eyes again as he looked up at the elf who was smiling sadly as he was showing a hope in those eyes. "Sevlaz, it is time. Otherwise we will have to do this over again and I am loathe to do it again to you. Flowing is easier on you than it is to reverse it. Six times is far to many."

Six? Six times? How many times did he have to die?

"Six."

A soft nod given.

"Indeed my long suffering friend, hell is repetition and I do not wish you suffer in it any longer than you must. So please, could you give me an answer this time? You are chosen and I feel you best suited but I will not choose for you. Consent is key."

Consent. So tired.

Tired.

"Drat."

@daily-writing-challenge

How a 10 foot, half ton tauren could come up behind him without making a noise was something a marvel for Sevlaz as he looked up into the brindle faced male. Sheared horns, bronze nose ring, and one hard pale blue eye only addedto the intimidation the warrior of his arsenal as he stared back at the orc.

"Grin."

There was a heavy cough as Sevlaz cleared his throat and started to stand up. "Raincal-"

The thick three fingered hand caught him in the chest and with the ease of pushing over a child sat Sevlaz back on his stool. "Sit."

"Right, sure thing," Sevlaz answered as he noted how easily he was forced back down. "What can I-"

"Shutup."

"Alright."

The tauren leaden down to look him in the eye, his bearded jaw set firm as he spoke. "You know why I'm here."

"Uh, I would think an omelet or perhaps one of these kabobs. Erik could you fox- er fix up a stick or seven for..?" The thief was turning back toward the cook. Unceremoniously the above flap clattered down to seal off the cooking area of the vulpera's, the wood vibrating the painted on sad face with a word bubble 'Closed!' Sevlaz growled and faced the mercenary again. "Sorry looks like they're closed now."

"Pity," the deep baritone was short and hard as he never broke his gaze.

"Very much so, Cah. And I would guess you're here per An'wei."

The tauren mercenary, Cahall would nod curtly. "You'd be right."

"About the job?"

"Two for two."

"Well, I mean it's just taking me a bit to get an in and these things take time. Silvermoon isn't what it used to be," Sevlaz continued to press the conversation, his hands talking as much as he was. "My old contacts are either reformed, abroad, or well..."

"Dead."

"Exactly," the thief added as turned his permanent grin to to Cahall again. The tauren was not smiling. He never did.

There was a moment Sevlaz believed that was how the conversation was going to end, but that huge hand would reach forward and gently slip it's wrist thick fingers through the leather straps of Sev's vest. If he'd been shoved back into his seat like a newborn, he was lifted just the same like a kitten to dangle in the air at the tauren's eye level. There might have been an urge to kick out or struggle but knowing the warrior's reputation, it would have just ended a lot worse for him.

"Per the contract," Cahall growled softly as he drew the orc closer to his face. "You got one week to have it in the broker's hands. If not, I will be bringing back you back to them."

"One. Piece. At. A. Time." Each word was emphasized like a gong struck, no eye contact broken and inches only between the pair.

The thief cleared his throat again, the guttural gunk in his throat cleared and swallowed once again. "I'll do what I can."

"I'm sure." And the orc was lowered again to the ground. "I'm sorry."

"Sorry? I mean it's fine, you're doing your job. It's what you do," Sev answered breathlessly as he found him counting his blessing to feel the dirt under his feet again. The warrior's grip was still tight about the straps on his chest as he heard the creak of the fist growing firmer.

There was a shake of Cahall's shaggy head. A grunt of effort matching the lift while the muscles flexed to propel the orc from the ground.

"Wait! Wait! WA-" Sevlaz started to yell as he felt the earth disappear beneath him again. Air was rushing in his ears as the eerie feeling of weightlessness took over to speed him across the street barely having time to lift his arms to shield him from the impending landing. Thankfully the fruit stand across from Erik's was gracious enough to break his fall.

"My mangos!' The shrill scream of the vendor echoed throughout the street as the wreckage of his livelihood littered the ground and the bruised orc thief. Sevlaz groaned from the pile of broken fruit as he saw the world upside down, the lumbering form of the warrior striding off into the capital.

His red gaze should be filled with rage at being manhandled but instead red fur and golden eyes.

"Sev!" Erik yelled as he began to pull the orc back up around from his upside down heap into a sitting heap. "You alright?"

Sevlaz nodded as he wiped some mushed mango from his face.

"Good good good," the vulpera continued before opening his palm. "So it's gonna be like two gold for those kabobs."

A handful of crushed fruit was hardly the tip he expected.

Felix had been planning his revenge. 

After Seungmin’s merciless teasing the day before, Lixie was ready to make the puppy have a taste of his own medicine, and now was the perfect opportunity. 

Seungmin relaxed onto the couch, chatting with Minho over the phone as Felix crept up on him from behind. 

Felix could see Seungmin’s expression shift as he began talking to Minho, a warm smile spreading across his face. 

The soft sound of their conversation filled the room, but all Felix could focus on was the way Seungmin’s arms were relaxed, exposing his vulnerable armpits.

With a mischievous glint in his eyes, Felix slowly crept closer, ready to execute his plan. 

He wiggled his fingers, grinning to himself, then suddenly lunged forward, digging his fingers into Seungmin’s sides before quickly transitioning to his armpits.

Seungmin’s response was instantaneous. His body jerked, a surprised yelp escaping his lips as he bit down on his lower lip to stifle the laugh that threatened to spill out. “H-Hey!! Lix! I’m on a cahall!!” He shrieked gently, squirming side to side as Felix grinned behind him. 

“Hey, what’s going on?” Minho’s voice echoed through the phone, confusion lacing his words. 

“N-Nothing!!” Seungmin exclaimed, trying to maintain his composure but clearly struggling. His cheeks were flushed with a mix of embarrassment and excitement as he shot a glare back at Felix, who was reveling in his member’s reaction. “Lixie is just—AH!! He keeps t-touching my—my makeup!!” Seungmin muttered, giggles threatening to overflow. 

Felix slipped a finger into Minnie’s belly button. 

Seungmin gasped, biting his lip harder, his voice rising in pitch. He twisted and turned, trying to escape Felix’s grip, but Lixie was relentless, a playful glint in his eyes.

“AHAHAA—Mihinho hyuhuhung!! HEHEEHEHELP!!” The puppy gave in, laughter pouring from his lips as he dropped his phone on the couch, squealing and laughing and twisting adorably as Lixie’s fingers found every single spot to make him suffer. 

“Oh Seungminnie~” Minho teased over the phone, giggling as Seungmin howled, Felix’s eyes twinkled.  

With one final, determined effort, Seungmin managed to twist away from Felix’s grasp, darting to the opposite side of the couch, his face flushed and laughter still spilling from his lips. “Youhuhure so dead!!” He managed to say between breaths, a mixture of annoyance and amusement evident in his tone.

Felix, still laughing, leaned against the back of the couch, exhilarated by the successful execution of his plan.

Seungmin finally caught his breath, leaning against the couch with a mix of exasperation and glee. “You’re the worst!!”

“Oh Seungmin?” Came a voice from the phone. “I’m on my way~”

DWC 2024 - Day 7 - Peculiar/Theory

Flashes of red in the darkness floated through his vision. Swimming bits of light and fuzz in a familiar void at the edge of sleep. There was a kind of terror to it but a comfort as well, the familiarity that he knew from dreaming as a child. Or resting under a tree among the tall trees of Nagrand. The warmth of a hand on his chest and the clicking of tusks to tusks. Beautiful.

But it was getting warmer. The hand was gone. Hot breath on his skin growing stronger and less controlled. The red growing brighter and brighter until it was beyond uncomfortable. He needed to cover his eyes, which meant opening them.

A blue sky stretched far and wide carrying lazy white clouds and the wisp of hot breath mingled with dimming grains.

Grains? His eyes would blink faster as he looked up, focus slowly returning as he caught clearer sight of the clouds. Felt the heat of the sun far above him. The hot wind of the grasslands punishing bare ruined skin. Dirt under his fingernails.

"The hell?" Sevlaz heard himself croak, the words foreign to his ears and the empty echo around him. He did not want to do that again.

He would slowly trace the ground, the soil running beneath his fingertips as they brushed against coarse fibers that could only be high grasses of a field. The grass felt soft and brittle to his touch as if the sun had stripped it of any kind of moisture but it was too stubborn to just roll over and die. Apparently he could relate more than he thought as he let the idea sink in.

He should be dead.

Or was he dead?

If he was dead, then this could either be heaven or hell but the sun was far to bright to be either of them. Weakly his hand would come to his chest, just like a memory had before. He sat very still, letting his breath come by slow shallow means as he waited to feel. Something. Anything.

Thump.

Thump.

Thump thump.

It was beating.

"How?"

Sun above disappeared from his view as a shadow fell over him, his eyes desperate to focus on the source. A voice carrying the same weight and thickness came as the shadow stretched but dipped with the arrival of a face.

"Easy, friend."

Green skin. Dark hair. Red eyes. No. Not like his. They were red and orange, like a rising a sun. He'd seen that color a long time ago.

A hand would gently dip to cover his own hand, bearing scars and roughness much like his own. It gently squeezed his as the voice spoke again. "Just take a moment friend, help is on the way. You're safe."

He was safe. He was alive.

He'd survived.

@daily-writing-challenge

"200 gold, fucking robbery," Sevlaz grumbled as he stalked along the streets of Orgrimmar, having told Erik to give him some space while he tried to figure out what to do next. The fox had been adamant about being paid to which Sev had been all to happy to provide him with a half a crate of wrecked mangoes seeing as he had now become a 'primary investor'. Sans a crate and a coin purse, the thief had to figure out what to do next.

That damn cow had cost him way to much but had made it also very clear that he was going to be paying in pieces if he didn't get the damn job done for An'wei. Stealing from a house patriarch in the heart of Silvermoon was not the brightest choice, but when you're desperate and someone is willing to front you the first half of the fee it was hard to say no. With a groan, his hands would come up to rub vigorously at his face trying to clear his head.

He wanted to scream. It likely wouldn't have been out of place to do so given he was alone on the rampart looking out over Durotar.

"Could run," Sev muttered to himself as he began to search on his person for his clay pipe. "Could run south or across the sea. Not that hard to do. Hell heard about the dragon isles or that rock dwarf island. Lots of place Wei wouldn't find me."

The idea of this plot sounded better by the second as he imagined starting again on that island. Rumor was there was a bunch of fanatics underground worshiping a glowing rock and spider people all around. Money to be made for sure and easy to hide. Catch a boat, lay low and let the heat die down. Raincaller be looking for him but he'd not heard of him going much further than Tanaris or even across the great sea. Cow hated the water as far he knew.

"Yeah that's what I'll do-" There was a soft snap in his hand.

The pipe was cracked in half, bowl from stem with bits of silverleaf grain floating off into the wind.

Always with the grains.

His head fell just as the bits of clay fell from his hand into the air below to disappear over the ramparts of the great gate.

"Damn it."

He couldn't run. In more ways than one. This was supposed to be his second chance. Or seventh. Could one with this kind of reputation really keep count? Did he want too?

Chin raising he'd let his eyes close as he breathed in the dusty air, trying desperately to find some means of making this work without getting himself to dirty. Mind racing, imagination churning, and heart sinking into his stomach he knew very clearly what he needed.

A crew.

"Here we go again."

The words hung in his ears and in his heart before letting his out another deep breath and turning to head back into the city. He only had a week to figure this out and gather the right set of 'tools' to make it work. An'wei was only for promises.

A gentle desert breeze blew in behind him with a even softer reedy whine through the gables of the gate. The hot air would caress the back of his neck causing him to reach absently to shake off the bits of dirt that pelted him.

Grains of sand in the wind.

i was thinking about this scenario and i think it would make a good prompt if you like it!

Peter 1 hanging out with Harry(raimi) for the day! They're just kinda hanging out, Peter 1 asks him what he wants to do next and Harry is just like Peter 2 and cannot resist tickling the youngest bc he's so cute!

Ler!harry(raimi) lee!peter1

With the sentence starter:

"What do you wanna do now?"

(Aww, Anon, I love it! ❤️ Harry needs more love in the fandom! I just hope you like the idea ❤️)

"What do you want to do now?"

Harry slumped into the driver's seat. "I just want to sit for a moment. That was an intense basketball game."

"You were incredible out there Harry! How many three pointers did you make again?"

"Eight, but whose counting."

A horn honked at the two.

Harry and Peter waved out their windows.

"Bye G!" Harry called out.

"You were a beast out there man!" Peter added.

Harry grabbed his waterbottle as he settled back in his seat.

"What should we do now?" One asked again as he gulped down his own water.

"Let's see." The older of the two checked his watch. "Yikes! We gotta head back."

"So soon?"

"We're already 10 minutes past when I told Two when we'd be back. If we don't head back, we're going to get an earful."

"Aww."

Harry turned to the youngest Peter. He looked so young and innocent with his ruddy face and skewed curls. He also hadn't seen a smile that big ever on Peter 1.

For a moment, Harry's mind flashed to another younger Peter Parker with that same exact grin on his face.

The youngest studied Harry. "Why are you looking at me like that?"

"Because you look so much like your brother."

Peter 1 smiled. "Really?"

"Yep. Absolutely adorable."

Peter 1 groaned. "Everyone says I'm adorable."

"But yohou are!"

"How can I be adorable when I'm Spiderman?"

Harry shrugged. "Two has done it for years."

"Pfft-."

Harry affectionately ruffled Peter 1's hair. However, when his fingers grazed a spot near One's ear, the youngest jumped with a loud squeal.

Harry pulled his hand away. "Are you okay? Did I hurt you?"

"N-no! You just . . . startled me!"

One of Harry's eyebrows arched upward. "Startled you?"

Peter 1 grinned nervously. "Y-yes!"

The older man grinned mischievously. Another memory of a much younger Peter 2 making the same excuse flashed across his mind. "Yohou ahare just like yohour brother."

One immediately jumped in between the passenger and driver seat to quickly slither into the backseat.

Harry burst out laughing. "Hehey!"

The older man followed Peter 1 between the seats to the back seat.

Peter 1 squealed and curled into a ball.

Harry landed on the other side of the back seat. "Gotcha!"

Even though One was a nervous giggle pile, Harry could see the excitement in the youngest Peter's smile and the way he leaned himself into a more comfortable position.

Harry closed his eyes and placed a finger to his temple. "I'm getting a vision. You are going to be the happiest in 2.5 seconds."

Peter 1 playfully kicked Harry. "Whatehever you sahay Lassihie."

Harry reopened his eyes and grinned at the youngest Peter. He pulled Peter 1 forward by the leg. "Cohome hehere you!"

The loudest happy laughter poured out of Peter 1's mouth as Harry attacked his ribs.

"Reheally? Ahare ahall Peter Parkers juhust programed toho behe adorable? Cahause thihis is just nohot fahair."

One couldn't respond in his laughter induced state, but his blush did darken at the teases.

"Ihi can't believe hohow easily you transition ihinto aha strawbeherry." The older Harry skittered his fingers from his ribs to his sides. "Ihits an increhidible talent."

"Sh-shuhush!" One giggled out as he squirmed.

"But I cahan't when I have the cutehest little strawberry in front ohof mehe!"

This made One's blush darken even more.

"See?" Harry moved to skitter his fingers along Peter 1's jawline. "Yohoure definitely a Parker."

One snorted. "Harryhyhyhyhy!"

"Yeah itty bitty?"

"Hehey! Thahat's whahat yohou cahall Twoho!"

"Noho, I call Two itsy bitsy. You know, lihike the nursery rhyme?" Harry paused his tickles. "You're itty bitty cahause you're tiny and cute."

"Stihill sohound thehe sahame."

Harry shrugged. "I cohould cahall you baby berry instead."

The blush on One's face reached it's darkest shade yet.

"Ah, baby beherry ihit is."

Peter 1 playfully pushed Harry. "Shuhut ihit."

"What did you say to me?" The older man began to jump around to random spots on Peter 1. "Whahat did you sahay toho me baby berry?"

"Wahait! WaHAIT Ihim sOHOHOryhyhy!"

Harry paused the tickles to take his phone out of his pocket. "Uh-huh, that's what they ahall say."

One caught his breath as Harry checked his phone. A familiar face was on Haharry's caller ID.

Harry answered the call. "Hey Pete, what's up? . . . Yeah . . . Yeah we're heading back now . . . I know, I know, I'm sorry. We were playing basketball and lost track of the time. . . Yeah he's right here."

Peter 1 giggled as Harry held out the phone. "Hihi Two!"

The older man then pulled the phone back to his ear. "See? we're both okay . . . Yeah, we'll be home in 20 . . . Alright, see you then worry wart."

"He ihis aha worry wart," One added after Harry ended the call.

Harry chuckled. "Cohome on. Before he sends the cavalry ahafter uhus."

The older man placed his hand on the handle to open the door. However, he removed it a second later. "Forget it."

"What are you---?"

Harry jumped back through the space in between the passenger and driver seat then slid into the driver's seat. Through the entire process, Peter 1 laughed at his older friend.

Harry chuckled. "Yohou cohoming uhup?"

A moment later, Peter 1 slid through the opening and into the passenger seat, giggling the entire time. The two laughed at the scenario for a good minute before they were finally able to settle down.

Harry readjusted himself into an upright position. "Ahalright, buhuckle up buttercup!"

Peter 1 sat up and buckled his seat belt. "Hehey Haharry?"

"Yeah Pete?"

One blushed. "Thahank yohou for tonight."

The older man started the car. "Thanks for coming along with me baby berry."

One blushed. "Noho Ihim not!"

Harry reached over to skitter his fingers across One's tummy "Yehes yohou ahare!"

One squeaked. "Noho!"

The older man pulled his hand back so he could start the car, but continued attacking the youngest until he finally admitted how cute he was. Then about 5 minutes away from home, Peter 1 dozed off to sleep.

Harry smiled at the sleeping form. And yes, he was the spitting image of his older brother.
