The Custodians of the Chronology have a bet going. Also, Nate and Ray are a disgustingly cute couple.

Notes:

(See the end of the work for more notes.)

Work Text:

Ray laughed as he fired his gun at the monster in front of them. There were screams from the crowd around them, but they were ignored. He felt elated as it’s dead body dropped to the floor and Nate clapped him on the back. “Nice one!”

   

There was a grunt from his other side “Damn it, I wanted to kill that one!”

  

“Sorry Mick this one goes to Ray!” Nate said gleefully “Another point for team pretty haircut!” he and Ray high fived and Mick just glared and shoved his gun back into its holster. “Whatever. I’m still ahead. I killed that selkie last time.”

 

Ray smirked, “Just wait we’re going to catch up to you, I think Gideon said there’s a mermaid wreaking havoc sometime in the 1800s and my boyfriend happens to be a great swimmer.”

 

Nate draped his arm over Rays shoulders, smirking as well, “We are so going to win this bet!”

 

Mick turned away, already walking back to the ship, “Well then come on you lovesick idiots let’s go! I can’t wait to kill this fish and keep the minotaur head for my room. It will look great hanging above my desk.”

 

Nate slid his arm down from Rays shoulders and they rushed after him, “See, another reason we should be getting the minotaur head! Above the desk is a terrible place to put it!”

 

“Yeah!” Ray agreed, slipping his hand into Nate’s as they walked back into the ship “When we win and get the minotaur head it’s going right above our bed.” Mick ignored them and  walked to the kitchen, “I need a beer before we go to find this stupid fish. I don’t want to argue with you guys anymore, you’re a disgustingly open couple and it disturbs me.”

 

Ray straightened his back and smiled “Thanks!” he called at Micks retreating back, “This couple is going to beat you though!” Nate laughed and patted Rays back, “Come on let’s go get the spears out, I’m thinking we should kill this one in a more creative way,” Ray smiled widely at the idea, “We are so going to win that minotaur head.”
