The Most Unexpected Provocation - Cross Edge (boyxboy)

Title: The Most Unexpected Provocation

Summary: Reicher’s at it again; trying to provoke Raze into a battle. And again Lyner tries to interfere, which only prompts Reicher into discovering a new way to get on Raze’s –and everyone else’s- nerves.

Pairings: Ah, well, I guess Reicher/Lyner if one is to be technical, though there may be hints of others.

Warnings: Some swearing

Disclaimer: I do not own any character associated with anything to do with the game CrossEdge.

AN: ...Don’t ask me where this came from. Just don’t, do yourself a huge favour. Would this be considered as crack? I prefer Lyner with Ayatane, so...WHY MUSE, WHY?! I won’t upload this to FF.Net as I would probably get flamed for writing a Yaoi with two characters who are obviously NOT GAY!!1 -_-; So yeah, this will probably stay unseen here, hidden away...Oh, who cares? I wanted to write some Cross Edge Yaoi and I did! Bwahahahaha!

I’ll shut up now... o_o But surely, I’m not the only Cross Edge Yaoi fangirl, right?

An exasperated sigh passed Lyner’s lips as he listened to the now becoming far too common confrontations between Raze and the ever cocky Reicher. He was becoming annoyed with it, and he wasn’t even the one these taunts were being carelessly thrown at. Poor Raze.

 A hand being gently placed on his shoulder caused Lyner to tear his gaze away from the two bickering men. “Lyner?”

 Hearing the sound of Ayatane’s low voice as he whispered into his ear eased some of Lyner’s annoyance. But he was still ticked. With his brow furrowed, Lyner gave his best friend a frustrated look.

“I’ve had enough of this,” he said, indicating to the squabbling with a wave of his hand. “We have more Souls to release; we don’t have time ‘play’ with this guy. Besides, from the expressions of everyone; they’re tired of this as well.”

Ayatane allowed his gaze to glance around at the others who were accompanying them on a scouting mission for more Souls. Only half of everyone they’ve met and befriended so far in this world was here, the other half were waiting at the Save Point.

“Try not to battle with him,” Ayatane eventually said.

“As I said, we don’t have time,” Lyner replied as he smiled at his gentle friend. “I just want to tell him off.”

Ayatane returned his smile, but it wasn’t as reassured as he had hoped. “Still, be careful.”

“Don’t worry,” Lyner said softly. “If anything happens, I’m sure you’ll back me up, right?”

That earned him a true smile from Ayatane. “Of course.”

Lyner gave him another smile before turning on his heel and making his way over to the small confrontation, Raze, Lily and Whim all glaring angrily at Reicher. The only reason why this confrontation hadn’t dissolved into a physical battle was because Lily had ordered Raze not to battle and that Whim was actually holding onto Raze’s arm, pulling him back.

“I think that’s enough,” Lyner said as he pushed himself into the fray, putting himself in-between Reicher and Raze, both males startled to see him. “Haven’t you run out of witty taunts yet? I think you’re beginning to repeat yourself,” he said as he turned to glare at Reicher.

“Oh, it’s you again,” Reicher sighed dramatically with disdain as he surprisingly took a couple of steps backwards. “You’re always ruining my fun.”
