They Mobilize

A/N: Hey guys!

So, Mind of the Childishly Naïve is doing this prompt challenge. I love a good prompt challenge and this one looks awesome, so I got the prompts from her and I'm giving it a shot too. I dunno what I'm doing for all the prompts yet, so if there's a character or something you'd like to see more of I'm open to suggestions. As usual with my one shot collections, I'll warn for pairings before any stories that have one.

I hope you enjoy! As always, your reviews are always read and greatly appreciated!

Sprx Laughed

And laughed.

And laughed.

As Antauri just stood in front of him without a muscle of his still expression loosening in the slightest.

"Haha..." He held up an index finger in front of Antauri. Hold on; I'm almost done. "Ha..."

And finally, Sprx, looked back up at his temporary commander.

"...Wait, you're serious? The kid's what, twelve?"

"Thirteen."

"Thirteen. Right. He's a kid, Antauri. You don't really think that he's the one we've been looking for, do you?" Of course, he said we in a very generalizing manner. Sprx wasn't sure what he thought of the idea of 'destiny' and 'chosen ones' to begin with, but that was an argument for another day, if ever. "He's a kid," he repeated, as if Antauri's patient ears hadn't heard him the first time.

"All the same, Chiro has shown great control over the Power Primate for one who has never been trained. The fact that he has any natural ability stands by itself as evidence of his abilities. And from what I have seen," Antauri's voice was warm, "he is a bright, kind young man who would make an excellent leader with a bit of guidance... Why are you smirking?"

"Because of how defensive you're being about somebody you've known for a week," Sprx replied, all too amused. "You sound like you're the kid's daddy or something."

Antauri flinched. It was a tiny flinch, and if Sprx blinked he would have missed it, but Antauri. Flinched. And just like that, Sprx was laughing his tail off again. Antauri's expression went from blank to flat out dry.

"I'm simply giving praise where praise is due to the Monkey Team's potential leader," Antauri insisted. "Speaking of which, I do believe I've left Chiro in the dark about our intentions long enough. I am going to organize a team meeting to discuss a manifesto to present to the boy, and I trust that you will be there, since you have such strong opinions on the matter."

"Ha... Right, I'll be down in a few." Antauri, satisfied, started towards the Bridge. Sprx collected himself and smiled back at the door the black money had left from.

"Well, I'll be. Maybe Antauri should ask the kid to join us. Seems like it'd be good for both of them."

A/N: Sometimes I worry when I write Antauri with Sprx, that I start to reach over into Gibson's voice. They're both such intelligent and stoic characters. X_x
