Puppet Master One-shots! //Puppet Couple Fics~

#2.~♡ Fire - Drill ♡*** (Torch X Tunneler)

     "Come on guys, we gotta get the hell out of here!" Blade yelled, ushering his friends out of the door to the old hotel they've called home for decades.

Jester, Pinhead, Miss Leech, and the rest hurried past their leader through a broken window that led outside. The fire alarm was going off and smoke filled the atmosphere, causing panic within their tiny puppet community. Blade didn't have time to investigate where the source was as his greatest concern was to get his comrades to safety.

Once he thought everyone had made it out, he followed suit, eager to do roll call.

There was just one problem that Blade would soon figure out...

And that was the problem of the two puppets that stayed behind while the rest stood outside, oblivious to the cause of this sudden scare.

   "Were not going," Torch stated, taking ahold of his mate's arm.

    "What do you mean?" Tunneler asked, annoyed by the way Torch grabbed onto him.

   "I mean't, were staying behind while those simpletons cower into the outside world over a little smoke," The metal puppet said, rolling his yellow pupils. "I started a small fire and let it burn until the smoke alarms detected it. I wanted to get everyone out of the hotel."

This revelation made by Torch shocked Tunneler but not by much. He knew Torch was an asshole but he didn't know he could be so dumb.

    "What!? What the hell is wrong with you Torch!? What would have happened if the fire spread and it became too late for us to escape!?" Tunneler shouted, clenching his fists.

The soldier could not believe he was still dating this brainless metal-headed puppet with anger issues.

Torch shrugged, unfazed by his partner's tone.

   "If you hadn't noticed, fire is my specialty. I know how to control it. But if that HAD happened-," Torch trailed off a bit in thought. "Uh, I don't know. Oh well," he shrugged again, dismissing how disgusted Tunneler looked with him.

He was used to this reaction.

  "Why would you do something like this, Torch?" Tunneler questioned, taking a deep breath to calm himself down. He was at his wit's end with his boyfriend.

Torch looked down for a moment before slowly looking back up to meet Tunneler's gaze again. He didn't want to sound lame or even weak with emotions but he had to be open with Tunneler, seeing as how he actually cared about him.

    "It's for you," He replied in a low voice. "I wanted everyone out so that they would stop bothering you and I could have you all to myself for once."

Tunneler's eyes widened and his lips parted. His heart began hammering in his chest and the drill puppet couldn't keep his cheeks from burning a deep crimson red. The German soldier was in total awe over his hothead partner's words, he almost felt bad for getting so mad at him.

   "F-For me?" Tunneler squeaked, placing his palm against his chest in a flattered manner. "You could have just asked, you know?" Tunneler gave Torch a tiny smirk, kind of liking his possessive attitude.

  "What's the fun in that?" Torch muttered, stepping up to Tunneler and putting his arms around the more petite puppet's frame. "Someone's always needing you for something, it's about time I needed you."

The pitch black eyes of the soldier seemed to spark with colors, truly admiring his partner for once.

   "Well," Tunneler began, biting his lower lip flirtatiously. "Here I am. You have me all to yourself now. Until Blade comes to look for us."
