[drabbles] they say that laughter is the best medicine
5 drabbles (3 in the Dreamcatcher universe, 2 other)
Pairings: Ohmiya for all
Rating: PG - PG-13
Disclaimer: I own nothing.
Notes: Most of these are set in the same universe as my series, Dreamcatcher, but whether you've read it or not, you should be able to understand these.
All of these drabbles are humorous (and at times full of crack), meant to be enjoyed rather than taken seriously. I hope they can brighten up your day, even if it's just by a little :)
Life Lessons
Nino/Ohno | PG-13 | ~250 | prompt: Christmas related (DC universe)
for hwlinyitw
“So let me get this straight.” Jun is exasperated, an eyebrow quirked in disbelief. “This old man watches small children while they sleep and play, knows their names and where they live… and late at night, he breaks into their house, eats their cookies, and leaves them presents if they’re ‘nice’ and coal in their stockings - which are giant socks - if they’re ‘naughty’.”
“Uh huh.”
“And then he climbs up the chimney, flies away in an open-aired sled in the middle of winter with his deer-”
“Rain deer. Although snow deer would make more sense, huh…”
“-And does this all around the world, then goes back to the north pole to prepare for doing the same thing next year with his short pointy-eared friends.”
“That’s right.”
Jun sighs. “I will never understand human holidays.”
But Ohno is already running off, waving goodbye. “Tonight, Nino’s telling me about something called Golden Week!”
“Maybe Nino should tell you why I think some old guy stalking children and coming into their homes at night only sounds like a potential way to get raped.”
“Potential rape, got it. I’ll have him show me that, too.”
Jun nods, but then squeaks as Ohno’s shutting the door. “Ohno Satoshi, don’t you dare ask him to show you about rape! I said tell, damnit!”
Ohno too far off now to hear, Jun sinks back into the couch and scowls. From what Ohno told him about Valentine’s Day, it’s probably too late to worry about that anyway.
Let It Snow
Nino/Ohno | PG | ~240 | prompt: Christmas related, DC universe
for mizuko_sakurai
Ohno takes a step closer to Nino as the younger man helps the strange dream-monster with his hat. “I don’t trust it,” Ohno scowls firmly, glaring into the monster’s black eyes.
Nino chuckles. “Oh-chan, don’t tell me you’ve never seen one of these back in the real world before.”
Oh, but Ohno has seen them, lurking around on the streets, watching innocent children play, waiting for its chance to strike. He’s even seen them on TV, on a documentary or something where it showed one kidnapping kids and being chased by police.
“I know what it is, and I don’t trust it.”
Nino links his arm with Ohno’s, giving him an amused smile. “But you trust me, don’t you? And besides, we’re in a dream. We won’t get hurt.”
True, Ohno thinks, but he gives the Snow Man another glare. It could come to life and start singing at any second. Ohno isn’t going to let his guard down.
Once Nino has tugged Ohno away, the dream-snowman smiles and clears its throat to start singing Frosty the Snowman in English. Nino bursts out laughing, and Ohno points his finger at the snow creature. “Quick! We have to defeat it before it turns the dream into a musical!”
The dream ends up becoming a musical anyway. But Nino praises the way Ohno sings, so Ohno can’t say he minds. You win this time, he thinks, eyeing the snowman.
The snowman winks back.
Excuses
Nino/Ohno | PG | ~230 | prompt: Ohno's birthday, DC universe
for strwberry_muse
“It’s my birthday,” Ohno says abruptly the moment they meet. Nino suddenly feels out of place.
“Congratulations,” Nino replies lamely. “How old are you?”
Ohno has to stop and think. “Twenty-four.”
“Oh.” There’s an awkward interval of silence - at least, it’s awkward to Nino, who’s standing there shuffling his feet. Ohno is just smiling obliviously.
“Do you celebrate birthdays in your world like we do? Like, with presents, or sometimes parties, maybe with food…”
“Not really. Jun gives me presents, but I think it’s just because he has an excuse to and he’s too embarrassed to do it without one. It’s no big deal in the Border.”
“Oh,” Nino says again. Ohno’s staring at him expectantly, and it’s making him even more uncomfortable. “So… why are you telling me if it’s not a big deal? I mean, it is, I just, uh-”
Ohno’s cheeks are flaring red before he can get the words out of his mouth. “S-so I have an excuse. Thanks for the present!” With a swift movement, Ohno leans in and presses their lips together, drawing them away just as quickly. He turns away from Nino then, courage all used up.
Nino blushes with him, but takes his hand to let him know that it’s okay. “Happy birthday,” Nino says, pushing his own lips against Ohno’s cheek, keeping them there.
He can feel Ohno smiling.
Fashion Advice
Nino/Ohno | PG | ~180 | prompt: Nino's smurf date shirt (HnA #61)
for beastlover
“That is the last time I’m ever asking you for fashion advice.”
Ohno tried to suppress his giggling with a pout. It didn’t work. “But you looked so cute!”
“Says the one who was chosen first,” Nino snarled, shooting Ohno a Look, “to the one who was chosen last. You just wanted to win, didn’t you?”
“Hey, you were the one who asked!”
Nino rolled his eyes. “Yeah, that was stupid of me. Ask the boyfriend whose mom still buys his clothes what t-shirt he thinks I should were if we went on a date. Screw it, I’m asking Jun next time.”
“Says the person chosen last to the person chosen first about the person chosen second to last.”
Nino crossed his arms over his chest and let out a huff. “Whatever. All I know is that I won’t be wearing anything on a date with you.”
Ohno snickered, and Nino moaned. “Because I’m not going on a date with you as a way to express my anger at your stupid fashion choices, you pervert!”
Ohno ignored him, practically skipping away. Nino facepalmed.
Boredom
Nino/Ohno +Sho | PG-13 | ~170
for wannatee_1984, just because <3
Sho freezes, fingers still twisting the door handle and one foot dangling in the air, about to step inside. A newspaper is folded and tucked under his arm. “Satoshi-kun… we’re only taking a break. You don’t have to change clothes.”
“I know.”
An eyebrow twitches. “Then, uh, is there a reason you’re stripping in the middle of the dressing room?”
Ohno glances at him as he kicks the jeans bunched up around his ankles into the corner. “Because. I got tired of my pants.”
Sho waits for a further explanation, but in typical Ohno fashion, Ohno is completely serious, acting as if it made total sense to everyone in the world except for Sho. “…Okay,” Sho answers weakly. Then he blinks. “Um, Nino, why are you doing it too?”
“Because,” he answers with a mischievous grin, tugging off his shirt as well so that he was clad only in boxers, “Oh-chan got tired of his pants.”
The headlines for today’s newspaper didn’t seem too interesting anyway, Sho tells himself as he flees.

P.S. - My crazy friend, Emily, inspired the last two. How? Let me show you.
My roommate (to 12 yr old): And girls who are the bad guys in movies always wear stuff like classy dresses, or leather.
E: ...or nothing.
(When we're in her dorm room and she randomly starts changing)
Me: ...Emily, why are taking your clothes off?
E: Because. I got tired of my pants.
Yes, I know. My friends are awesome XD and that includes all of you!
So, to all of you who have supported me and my fics: thank you ♥
