Welcome readers, you have entered my challenge zone. Because I have trouble with continuing stories, I have decided to challenge myself. I am going to post a one-shot everyday; from today (June 1st) to the end of the month (June 30th). The theme is as the title states; Enjoy the Little Things. So here we go; the introduction below will be the same for every chapter.
Introduction: As Tallahassee from Zombieland says, "Enjoy the little things." So I decided to write a series of one-shots based loosely on things that happen to me in real life that I enjoy. They won't always be long, but they won't always be short either. Just depends on the moment. Enjoy!
Disclaimer: I do not/ nor will I ever own South Park. If I did, I would be a happy girl.
Kyle's POV
I'm sitting here on Stan's couch, it's a Friday evening and it's super cold even though it's June. Then again, we live in the snowy mountains of Colorado. Stan and I are taking turns playing Mario Kart on the Wii since his other controller won't work. So while he plays, I'm sitting here eating Goldfish and watching him.
I can't help but giggle quietly at his super serious face as he concentrates on the game. The occasional 'mother-fucker' that comes from his mouth whenever he gets hit or falls short of first place makes me laugh as well.
"Dude, are you ok?"
My head snaps up and I meet a pair of sapphire eyes. "What?" I ask dumbly. Stan laughs and hands me the controller.
"It's your turn, dude," he tells me as he takes the bag of Goldfish out of my hands.
I stare at the name of the next race. "Dude, I've never played this one before." I say as the timer begins going down.
"It doesn't matter; you don't have to place first." Stan assures me.
The timer gets to one and I press the two button on the Wii remote, my character's car backfires. "Shit!" I shout as I desperately try to get back to first place. I can hear Stan laughing next to me, the plastic bag of Goldfish crinkling with each handful he pulls out.
"Dude!" Stan shouts, snapping me from my trance. My mind snaps back to the game just as I run off a cliff. Trying not to swear, I get a mystery power-up box. Thankfully I get the rocket thing which gets me from twelfth place to about seventh.
"Damn it!" I shout before thrusting the remote in Stan's hands. "Dude, save me!" I beg him, making my lip quiver to add to my pathetic-ness. He laughs at me and takes the controller, going back into game mode.
I smile and watch him as he tries to get my character back into first place. Suddenly I get a strange feeling in the bottom of my stomach as I watch Stan. I take in every detail of his face; from the scrunched up face he is making when he isn't cursing, to the little pieces of Goldfish cracker around his lips.
The race ends and Stan looks at me with his eyes filled with pride. I don't hear what he says to me, I can only concentrate on his lips. On a strange impulse, I wipe the Goldfish remains of his face with my sleeve. Stan looks at me weirdly and I blush.
"You had Goldfish on your face, dude." I finally manage to say. Stan smiles lightly and thanks me before going back to the game. I sigh to myself and smile.
I wouldn't trade this time for anything.
Yep, that was it. Short but still sweet. So give me a review or don't, I don't really care because I am determined to keep posting til the end of the month. See you tomorrow.
