You Jump, I Jump
Summary: A modern, piratey twist to the classic love story of Titanic centered around the pairing of Joe and Marvelous. How it progresses even I don't know. So we'll find out together.
Series: Kaizoku Sentai Gokaiger
Pairing: Joe/Marvelous, slight Luka/Ahim
A/N: Since I haven't done this in a while I thought I'd make a lengthy fanfic this time around with short chapters to beef up the suspense a little and practice my writing skills a bit more. With creativity flying out the window I'll stick to chapter numbers than titles this time around.
"Kocchi kocchi desu~!" Gai offered, half-pulling Don towards the nose of the ship with a silly grin on his face.
"Why are you being so hyper?" Don complained with a light flail.
"Because! I've never met someone as cool as Don-san before!" Gai declared eagerly.
This definitely made Don stop in his tracks as he stared dumbly at the hyperactive boy. "I-I don't know where you get that impression from, but you really think I'm cool...?" Don asked tentatively. He had never received the praise before.
Gai gave him a firm nod of appraisal. "What's not cool about you?" he exclaimed when he turned his attention from the ocean and back to Don, running back to him for good measure and proceeded to list off Don's attributes that he thought made him cool - his hair, his attitude, his laugh, his smile.
Don flushed at this. Gai was someone he had literally just met on the ship, and in the 10 minutes they spent cruising around the cruise ship - no pun intended - Don did not once expect them to just... click. He smiled and nodded his thanks over to Gai. "D-Domo..." he said, scratching the back of his head sheepishly.
Gai pulled Don towards the nose of the ship; a place Don had recalled visiting when he and Joe had first scrambled onboard after the poker game. The sun was setting, and the horizon gave off a beautiful shade of orange touching the calm waters of the ocean.
Both leaned on the railings to overlook the view, both sighing in content.
"I'm glad I got to see this sunset with you, Don-san," Gai said quietly.
Don turned to Gai and nodded his sentiments. "Same here," he agreed, smiling. "Where are you headed once we reach America?"
Gai shrugged his shoulders. "Don't really know," he admitted. "It was an impromptu trip for me and my friend really."
"So can I go with you?" he asked hopefully, eyes sparkling in hope. "I don't really have a set place to go, so maybe I could travel around with you~"
Don nodded. "Sounds like a plan."
"Yosha!" Gai cheered, jumping in ecstasy before he lost his balance.
"Look out!" Don cried in surprise, grabbing Gai to steady him. Once the younger had settled, they looked at each other and laughed. The two boys decided to enjoy themselves some more after the sun had completely set running back to do just a bit more exploring.
