Slime (Alien 'verse)
Trio
Based in the 'verse from this drabble here. Set sometime before that one.
I've been working on a few drabbles from this Alien 'verse. Hope to post them here too.

Jonghyun flashed his fading and flickering flashlight around the pitch dark building, keeping his friends close behind him. They were looking for anything valuable they could keep or pawn. Or even a new flashlight would be nice. Anything.
Jonghyun quickly spun around, shinning the light on Minho, who had fallen to the floor with a shout. “Minho,” Jonghyun spoke in a loud whisper, “Watch where you-”
“It’s sticky,” Minho spoke over Jonghyun, lifting a hand with slimy goo dripping from it. Jonghyun took a closer look, moving the small light over Minho’s body. He was sitting in clear slime.
Alien.
Jonghyun swung his bag around himself tighter, hurrying towards Minho with an order, “Get up.” When Minho failed to do so by himself, slipping in the sticky slime, Jinki helped Jonghyun pull the youngest to his feet. The three hurried out of the dark building, not risking their lives any further.
Minho wasn’t as amused as Jonghyun and Jinki where when he had to sit around while his only pair of clothes were washed and hung to dry. They needed to put more clothes on their list of things to find.
When Minho shivered though, Jinki and Jonghyun sat beside him, arms wrapped around the younger to keep him warm. Minho drew his knees closer to his chest, mumbling, “Thanks.”
Jonghyun pulled Minho closer with a small laugh. “Just watch where you walk, eh?” Jonghyun leaned forward, looking to Jinki. “You too,” he told the oldest firmly, knowing the kind of trouble Jinki could get himself into, or at least in the past.
Jinki grinned and rubbed Minho’s bare skin to warm him. He was glad they all made it out unharmed.
