Luna got back to the Tundra Express a bit later then she expected. She looked towards Mordecai's house. It seemed peacefull.
As she got in, she said quietly "Hello? Mordecai? You here?"
But then she saw him. He was sitting all alone on the couch, his face buried in his hands.
"Hey, Mordecai..." she said, quite worried about him.
He looked upat her and stood up quickly and walk towards her "Look, I know you heard what I said, I'm sorry, I didn't..." then he looked down "... Is that Rakk?"
Luna smiled "Yeah, I thought we could drink a bit... And don't worry, Lilith explained you didn't mean it."
Mordecai looked away "Did she... Say anything... Else?"
Luna smirked "No, why? Is there something she isn't supposed to say?"
Mordecai didn't look at her, but just grabbed a bottle from the box she was carrying "Stop messing with me. Come on, drink one."
She opened a bottle and took a sip. It was better then the beer she remembered.
They were having a small talk until Mordecai drank about four bottles.
Luna was watching him quite carefully. He looked at her "Why are you staring?"
Luna blushed and looked at the floor "I was just wondering... Could you tell me about Bloodwing?"
Mordecai grabbed a bottle and chugged it in one go, "She was... My best friend. We met about 12 years ago when I was searching for a Vault. Back then, I was about to die. A bandit had his gun on my head, and just as he was about to pull the trigger Bloodwing flew down and ripped his eyes out" Mordecai smiled.
"That's kinda brutal," Luna laughed.
"Yeah, she was," he smiled even more, "and since that moment we became inseparable. She was my... Partner in crime, my guardian,... Well, she was a he back then..."
"Wait what? It changed genders?" Luna was surprised.
"Yeah, special species," he said while drinking another bottle, "In the middle of their life they change their gender. Weird, I know."
"Not weird, just... Fascinating." Luna said.
She was drinking with Mordecai, but she was a bit worried, because she didn't hold alcohol as well as Mordecai apparently did.
"Fuck, I already feel it in my head," said Luna, grabbing her head.
"Well, that's a good sign, since you have to deal with my blabbering," Mordecai smiled.
"I... I don't mind listening. I'm interested," Luna blushed.
"I really miss her," he said putting his goggles off. His eyes were tearing up, "I really do."
His eyes. His brown, deep eyes, now filled with tears. Luna could sense the pain in them, the pain she otherwise didn't see. He was so deeply hurt it was unbelievable.
"M-Morde-" she started, but Mordecai cut her off.
"I'm sorry about taking my goggles off. I don't do that a lot," then he smiled a bit "But my eyes also don't sweat a lot" he joked.
Luna laughed a bit "You know, it's ok to cry."
Mordecai grabbed another bottle "No, it's not."
Luna knew it was difficult topic for him, but she wanted to know more "So what else happened on your adventure with Bloodwing?"
Mordecai continued talking for hours. He told her about the fun times they had together, how they fought the bandits, how many times they saved each other...
All the was to her death. How Jack experimented on her, how he tied a bomb around her next so she exploded. "Look," he said, while taking something out of his closet, "This is the last thing I have of her"
He handed here two feathers. They were beautiful.
"She... She must have been... Beautiful." Luna said, watching the feathers.
"More deadly than beautiful, " Mordecai smiled, "Since she was covered in blood most of the time."
"Disgusting," Luna added. She was drunk, so she didn't really care anymore.
Mordecai looked at her "Come on, come with me," he was just as drunk as she was.
He led her up the stairs and onto the balcony.
"Come on, to the roof!" he said, jumping on, almost falling off.
"Be carefull," Luna laughed, as Mordecai helped her up. There were two sniper rifles on the roof, she was guessing from the last time they were shooting.
"Ok, so..." Mordecai started, "... Last time I said I'mm grant you anything if you shoot the Skag, right?"
"That is correct, yes," Luna said.
Mordecai pointed into the distance "Do you see that Varkid over there?"
Luna looked through the scope of a sniper rifle "Ugh, I think I see it, but it's all blurry."
Mordecai leaned closer to Luna "What do I get if I hit it?"
Luna smirked "You decide on the price."
Mordecai lifted his sniper rifle and took a deep breath.
No way he's gonna hit it. He's way too drunk for that.
He pulled the trigger...
And the Varkid fell on the floor.
"Boom, headshot!" Mordecai said happily.
"H-how did you... That distance... W-what, h-how?" Luna was shocked.
Mordecai smirked "I warned you about this. I told you I shoot even better when I'm drunk."
Luna looked at him, and he was now staring at her with a serious face.
W-why is he...
But Luna's thought was distracted by Mordecai's lips crashing against hers. She was shocked, but she kissed back.
After a while, Mordecai stood up and jumped back to the balcony as Luna followed him. When they were both on the balcony Mordecai pinned Luna to the wall and kissed passionately.
He's so aggressive. Why do I like this so much?!
He grabbed her hair lightly and pulled her head back a bit so he could kiss her neck.
As he did, she couldn't think anymore. She felt like she was melting.
He put his hand on her neck, running his little finger over her collarbone and kissing her lips passionately.
"Mordecai, I-..." Luna started.
Mordecai whispered into her ear "Do you want me to stop?"
She could hear the lust in his voice, and she couldn't speak anymore.
Mordecai backed away a little, looked into her eyes and smiled "That's what I thought." and continued kissing her.
He picked her up and she wrapped her legs around his body.
Damn, he's skinny but strong.
He carried her to the bedroom where he gently pushed her onto the bed.
"You can stop me if you feel uncomfortable." he whispered into her ear again.
"N-no, don't stop," Luna said, and with that, Mordecai got on top of her and unbuttoned her shirt. He kissed her collarbone. Lower, the chest. Lower and lower with every kiss. He stopped on the stomach as he put his shirt off.
"Holy fuck. He might be skinny but he's sexy as hell"
"Why thank you," Mordecai smirked.
"Fuck, did I say that out loud?" Luna blushed.
Mordecai didn't answer but instead kissed her even more passionately.
Before they knew what was happening they were both naked, having romantic, passionate sex.
Why am I falling in love with this man?
