The Unexplained

(A/N: Remember, shorts have nothing to do with the current plot! Keep that in mind!)

-IshNyx-

The elvish prince sits on his bed, his hands together in that mischievous manner you'd see in movies where the main villain has just come up with something very clever and possibly sinister.

But that was not the young man's intentions as he stood, grinned in a knowing way before he skipped off to find his best friend.

"Cooooner!" He exclaims, stopping in front of the werewolf, who's currently in the kitchen, watching Cas cook. Jack smirks, "Gimme a hug!" He holds out his arms.

Cas glances up from stirring something in a pot on the stove and raises an eyebrow. Conner, however, sighs and smiles, before stepping forward to hug Jack. Jack cackles, swerving away and he grabs Cas, before shoving her into Conner's outstretched arms. Jack cackles and zips off.

For a moment, neither of them move. Conner's arms have wrapped around Cas's smaller body, and she's pressed against his chest, her face in his bicep. She's blushing as she slowly pulls away and out of Conner's arm as he lets go. His eyes are wide and he laughs nervously, taking a step back.

"W-Well..." He smiles, a little sheepishly as he watches her. Cas simply continues to blush as she turns back to the pot, hiding her blushing cheeks behind her hair as her hands shake a little. Conner leans against a counter and starts to watch her again.

Off in the living room...

Phe laughs as she tosses her control to the side, standing and throwing her arms up in triumph. "Beat ya again!" She snickers, smirking at the adorable cinnamon roll who looks up at her and pouts.

"No fair..." Austin sighs and sets his controller down as well, just as Jack walks in and grins.

"Austin! Give your good friend a hug!" Austin blinks, looking up at Phe in confusion before he stands and walks to Jack to give him a hug.

"Why?"Austin asks, narrowing his eyes.

"Just because," Jack says with a grin, motioning him to hurry up and give him a hug.

Austin hesitantly steps forward, holding his arms out only slightly. "I don't trust you..."

Phe shrieks as she's suddenly grabbed by Jack and, just like what happened to Cas, is shoved into Austin's outstretched arms.  Once again, Jack cackles and runs off.

Phe quickly jerks away, her eyes wide, and you can't tell that she's blushing due to her dark complexion. Austin stares at her before turns his head in the direction Jack ran off in and flips him off. Phe laughs softly, patting Austin's chest, before sitting down again.

Inside, she's a wreck, with Moirai cackling and teasing her about what else could've happened if she hadn't pulled away.

Outside...

Merlin sits outside in the grass, his eyes closed, a slight scowl on his brow, and Aurora sits behind him in the grass as she presses her palms into his sore back.

Jack starts to sneak up behind them before he jumps in front of Merlin and Aurora. Aurora lets out a little yelp and falls back, but Merlin just opens his eyes and scowls. "The hell?--"

"Come here and gimme a hug!" Jack says, holding out his arms.

Merlin stands, frowning. "What? No. Let's go somewhere else Aurora." He turns on his heel to leave.

"Please?"

"No," Merlin mutters and picks up his cloak, putting it on.

Jack slowly reaches out and grabs Aurora by the shoulders. She squeaks and glances at Jack with confusion, who smirks. "Pleeeeeeeease?" he asks.

Merlin whirls around. "NO!"

It is at that moment that Jack throws Aurora forward into Merlin, and their mouths collide. The two of them stare at each other with wide eyes, not pulling away, before Merlin stumbles back and snarls at Jack. "What the FUCKING HELL?!"

Jack yelps. "Uh oh..."

Merlin starts to shoot blasts of every element at Jack as they chase each other in circles, the elf squealing each time he gets singed or barely hit, and Merlin continues to grit his teeth, close behind him. Meanwhile, Aurora stands where she was left her whole face bright red and her fingertips touching her lips, her eyes wide and full of embarrassment.

In Abby's room...

Abby is currently organizing her bookshelf under Cas's stern orders.

"ABBY!" A frantic Jack runs in. "Help! Merlin's hurting me!" He runs over and hides behind her, as she had been standing with a book in her hands.

Merlin, hot on his trail, skids to a stop in front of the doorway and glowers at Jack. "You little fucking-"

He's cut off as Abby glares at him, scowling right back. "Get out of my room." She mutters. "You're not allowed to hurt him!"

Merlin breathes heavily, glowering at a cowering Jack, before he turns and leaves, his cloak billowing behind him.

Jack sighs with relief, slumping against the wall, and gives Abby a sheepish smile. "Thanks."

She rolls her eyes and puts the book away on the shelf. "What did you do this time?" She smiles, amused.

He grins and sits down on her bed, "I was playing matchmaker. He and Aurora were one of the test subjects!" He smirks, lowering his voice, "and they...kissed!" He whispers.

Abby's eyes go wide before she laughs. "He's going to hate you for a week now." Jack shrugs simply, smiling as he watches her before he stands and simply wraps his arms around her.

Abby blinks, before sighing and she hugs him back, resting her cheek against his chest. "You're such a dork, you know that right?" She asks, her eyes flicking up to his face.

Jack gives her his adorable, child-like grin in response, "Your dork..." He whispers, kissing the top of her head.

Abby blushes a little, which she never does unless she's with Jack, and she looks down happily.
