unexpected guard (skull x blackberry)

chapter 1: without ras.

It has been a few months since ras died. At least everyone thinks he's dead. He hasn't been seen or heard of for a long time. Even overripe seems to be gone with him.

Skull sits alone at a milk bar in his miniverse. This is how he has spent most of his days ever since ras disappeared. He blames himself for ras's disappearance.

BlackBerry enters the bar, looking for skull. Once he spots him, blackberry sits at the bar stool next to skull. It's very easy to see that skull had grown taller. A lot taller. BlackBerry greeted him.

"Skull."

"BlackBerry."

Skull responded, not looking up from his drink.

"Why are you here?"

"I need a favor."

"Well you're looking in the wrong place for one."

BlackBerry looked around, thinking of how to continue the conversation.
"You'll get paid."

Skull hesitated.

"How much?"

"How ever much you want, and I will supply you with a living space and food you agree."

BlackBerry didn't want to offer these items but it seemed like the best way to get skulls agreement.

"Whats the job?"

"A guard."

Skull snickered.

"A guard? You can't take care of yourself?"

Skull teased.

"Wh- I can! Its just been difficult. And ive been advised to get some help."

"Sure. So why are you really here? Mock me that I failed at protecting my friends?"

Skull talks with slight aggression in his voice, but he is rarely hostile.

"I see that you have failed, pathetically, at your job. I am hesitent to hire you for that reason but I can tell youve been taking better care of yourself, and training."

That had caught skull off guard.

"How do you know that?"

He questioned.

"A little birdie told me."

Skull stands up, towering over blackberry.

"Well tell that little 'birdie' of yours that i want nothing to do with you."

With that, skull stormed out of the bar.

A/N: hey so i know this is a rather short chapter but I'm just trying to lay down the ground work for the story.
