Thriends

Elkay stared out of the window, torrents of thoughts sloshing through his mind. He had been living with Teekay for a few weeks now, and although he was comfortable and feeling better, there were many things that were bothering him. Right now, the biggest issue Elkay had was how it was always dark outside. Elkay … Read more

“Am I a traitor?” Elkay suddenly asked as he swirled a glass of orangey drink in his hands. “What?” Teekay lifted his head up off the pile of cushions and glared at Elkay. He was sleepy and definitely too tipsy. Glancing at the nearest clock, he realised that he and Elkay had been drinking for … Read more

“What is that?” Elkay asked as the front door opened and Teekay stepped inside. Teekay was carrying a large bag of shopping, which he unceremoniously dumped on the dining table. “What are you doing?” Teekay replied with a completely unrelated question. “What are you cooking?” Elkay’s eyes drifted from the dining table to the frying … Read more

Elkay reached for the box of paper tissues, only to find that it was empty. In the space of several hours, he had emptied the entire box and he wasn’t sure whether there were any more boxes lying around. There wasn’t any bathroom paper. That was the first thing Elkay had gone through, after he’d … Read more

Elkay nearly dropped his bags in surprise as Teekay led him up towards his little home. “It is… so small…” Teekay stared at Elkay. “What do you mean?” “Your home is tiny.” “Yes, so?” Teekay ignored Elkay’s confusion and started unloading boxes from his equally small ship. It had been a quiet and awkward ride, … Read more

“WHY IS EVERYTHING ON FIRE?” Teekay screeched as he rushed up to the small house. “WHAT THE HELL HAPPENED?” The angry, slightly panicked Skyavok immediately turned to the solemn Rethan who was just standing there, watching it all happen. “WHAT DID YOU DO? DID YOU TRY AND COOK SOMETHING?” Elkay tutted. “No. I did not … Read more

“Are you alright, Teekay?” Arkadin asked as he sat on the bed next to the young Skyavok. “Define “alright”, because that could mean a lot of different things right now…” Teekay sighed. Arkadin rolled his eyes. “I’ll take that as a “no, I’m not alright” from you. Are you pissed off because Elkay’s here and … Read more

“Wow…” A Skyan, a Rethan and a Thraki sat on the awkwardly small sofa, waiting for Arkadin to finish what he was doing. The three of them had been sitting there for at least an hour, occasionally glancing at each other but mostly just staring at the floor. No one had said a word, not … Read more

Elkay woke up covered in sweat and slime and had no idea why. But clearly he had also done something to wake up Teekay, as the Skyan was standing in the doorway, towels in hand. “Bad dream?” “Somewhat, yes.” Teekay glanced at Elkay, then looked away. Elkay peeled himself off the bed and sighed, feeling … Read more

The bedroom was small but tidy. A cupboard for belongings, a small chair and table and a comfy bed with far too many blankets and pillows on it. The floor was cold but a rug along the bed stopped Elkay’s feet from getting too cold. There was a window but it was hidden behind blinds … Read more
