Paired Couple: MiguelXTulio/SLASH!/Lime
A/N: Miguel, Chel, Altivo, and Tulio do not belong to me, they belong to Dreamworks. So on and so forth...
The next morning found the three of them looking to an early sunrise peeking through the trees. Without what little supplies they had before they were captured, Miguel, Tulio, and Chel left the campsite and headed in the opposite direction than that of the village of the cannibals. After two hours, it seemed that the blond had lost all heart in their search for Tollan, however, and lagged behind the other two. Perhaps this was all just a lost cause. Looking for El Dorado had been easy, since they had a map to go by. But now, without any sort of direction, he was sure that they had no hope of finding Tollan. Even more so, a member of their meager band had died to protect them. Who else would be dead next if they kept with the search?
"Hey, guys, let's stop for a bit." He called to them.
Chel and Tulio turned around, giving him curious glances.
"What's wrong, Miguel? Are you wanting to rest a bit?" Chel asked.
Miguel looked down at the dirt, thinking really hard on how to say what he was thinking. He licked his lips a couple of times, uncertain if he'd be able to get the words out properly, if at all.
"You okay, amigo?"
The blond Spaniard grabbed onto the raven-haired man's hand on his shoulder. With those dark blue eyes looking into his emerald irises in concern, he began to choke up. They had come so far in their adventure. He knew that Tulio would be upset to give it up now. But his fear for his friends gnawed at his mind since last night, rendering him to restless nightmares of ocelots and cougars chancing upon the band and killing Tulio and Chel mercilessly.
"I-I don't think we should continue on. We should turn back to El Dorado..."
Tulio's eyes widened in surprise.
"Turn back?" Chel interjected. "But why? We have come this far! The least we could do is carry on-"
Tulio shook Miguel's shoulders. "Miguel, what are you saying? This adventure was as much your dream as it was mine and Chel's. You can't turn back now!"
"Look Tulio! Someone is already dead because of this madcap adventure!" The usually cheerful blond yelled back. "It's become too risky!"
"Risky? You knew that from the moment we stole that map back in Spain to get to El Dorado! You knew the dangers and consequences that could and would inevitably arise from all of this! Maldita sea, Miguel!"
Miguel stood there in silence, unwavering, as his best friend raged on with his back turned to him. Then, Tulio narrowed his eyes on him over his shoulder, thinking about how all the events from leaving Spain lead up to this moment.
"...You!"
"Me? Me what?"
"This is your fault!" Tulio screamed. "You wanted that damned map so badly, so we won it-"
"Cheated, actually." Miguel corrected.
"Whatever! We got the map to El Dorado, even though I didn't even want to go on that adventure! Then, we were kidnapped by Cortes and his men on their way over here after being stuck in barrels for who knows how long-also compliments to you! Then, when we escaped with Altivo, who you inadvertently invited along, we crash landed on the beach and you wanted to go and find El Dorado!"
"I didn't see you object! Especially when we found the city!" Miguel raged back. "And we didn't 'crash land' on the beach-we softly landed upon it."
Chel ran towards the two men and stood between them with arms outstretched as soon as the raven haired Spaniard stomped towards his friend, looking ready to brawl.
"Stop it, both of you!"
"Why should I, Chel? After all, it's my fault that we're in this mess right now! It was all my fault that Altivo died! Isn't that right, Tulio? Is that what you wanted to hear, compadre?"
"Yes! Because it's always your FAULT!"
Just as Miguel lunged over the native woman's left arm, she grabbed his wrist and twisted it until he fell to the ground onto his knees, while in the meantime, she kicked Tulio in the stomach- which had left him doubled over in pain.
When their tempers were subdued, she finally addressed them. "You both are acting like such idiots right now!" Chel scolded. "Sure! We don't know where Tollan is and we possibly have a tribe of the Terbokneylznyath following after us! So what? Through all that we have been through, is it really worth this fight?"
Both men, although still very upset, looked down in shame, unwilling to admit just yet that she was right.
Miguel stood up, rubbing his bruised wrist. Tulio got up from kneeling on the ground, holding his gut, and looked into Miguel's green eyes. What he found there was apology.
"I'm-"
"-sorry-"
"I-"
"-shouldn't-"
"-have said those things..."
"-have blamed you..."
They both trailed off, feeling foolish. They gave each other shy smiles and embraced momentarily.
"I really am sorry. I'm a horrible friend."
"No, you're not, Miguel. You're the best friend I could ever have. There's nothing I would do to change that. Not for all the gold in the world, amigo." Tulio stepped out of the embrace and cuffed the blond playfully on the shoulder.
Chel smiled at the both of them, shaking her head. "See? You two were just being a couple of boneheads!" She slapped both of them on the backs of their heads as she walked ahead of them. "So are we going to find Tollan, or what?"
With her back turned, Tulio looked over at Miguel and winked. Miguel grinned mischievously, knowing exactly what was to transpire and nodded back. Both men quietly stalked the petite woman that walked ahead of them. At the right moment, they ran toward her unsuspecting back and grabbed an end of her-Miguel holding onto her arms and Tulio holding onto her feet.
They ran with her in their arms, screaming, when they spotted a small pond and threw her in.
Too late, Chel had grabbed Miguel's shirt at the last second, and they both toppled into the water, splashing Tulio in the process.
A/N: So, a little breather to take away the sting of Altivo's death... I know it was hard, but trust me, it was hard having to kill off a character. I do hope you forgive me... And without further ado, R&R and stay tuned! The next chapter will be what you've all been waiting for... :D
