Ok so as I promised, here's one more chapter. Things start to get smooth~ XD Anyway I hope you like it. Next chapter will be up soon and it will be...mythical~ Can you guess?
In Captain's quarters
"Those Kirklands. They're all the same! Stupid Allistor leaving me to take care of this big idiotic baby for him. Me. Of all the crew members. Couldn't he at least send Dylan?...nevermind. I guess it doesn't matter anymore..."
She walked closer to the bed noticed that the blonde captain was asleep. Thankfully. An asleep Kirkland is always better than an awake one. She thought to herslef. She looked around the room. Not a bottle of rum around. Allistor must have tossed them all into the sea or something. Carmen sighed and sat on a chair next to the bed.
"Idiot. I have to take care of your dumbness because you don't know when you should stop drinkng.." She crossed her arms and observed him. He looked so peaceful when asleep. His hair was still messy and his cheeks were still pink from the alchohol. She hadn't see him like that before. He was weird...and...cute. What? Oh no, nope. She didn't just think Kirkland's cute! But he was. She couldn't help it, he looked like a sleeping bunny. And Carmen loved bunnies...well, turtles mostly but bunnies as well. And he really- nope. Stop thinking. She then heared a tiny moan of pain escaping his lips. She sighed.
"Of course. After drinking so much how are you expecting not to have a headache?...idiot." She brought her hand up to feel his head. He was burning. Of course. Now he had a fever. And who would have to deal with this? Her...well it was better than cleaning the deck she had to admit...She put a cloth of fabric into a bucket of water and carefully placed it on his forehead. She slightly grinned when she earned a relaxing sigh from the blond. She stood up. She should at least inform Allistor that his brother had a fever. Into her surprise though, when she turned around she felt a hand grabbing her wrist. She turned around to see Arthur holding her tight yet weakly. He looked up at her.
"Don't leave me" He said softly. His voice was weak and trembling. The woman looked back at him with slight pitty.
"I'm lonely" He continued "D-don't go...please" That for some unknown and annoying reasin made her heart ache. She softly nodded and sat beside him.
"You're not lonely"
"I am." He replied. "I'm a failure. Noone wants to be near me and everyone hates me" Carmen sighed. She never thought she'd say what she was about to say.
"You have me." She siad and gasped slightly at her own words. What the hell did she just say?!
"But you hate me..." he sighed "just like everyone else"
She slightly looked down then back at him "I don't hate you...well...I don't really like you either but...here I am" She softly smiled at him making him weakly smile back.
"Yeah..here you are..."
After a few minutes without talking Carmen decided to break the awkward silence.
"Well...Now get some rest and I'll make you something to get better, because no offense...your food sucks."
"Hey..." Arthur wanted to argue at that but ended up looking down. "...true.." He admited earning a small chuckle from Carmen
The emerald eyed woman gently placed her hand on his cheek and started stroking it slowly. Arthur actually blushed. She could tell that it wasn't from the alchohol. "Thank you..." He gently grinned and closed his eyes. "...Carmen" That was his last word before falling sleep for good. She felt her own face heat up as well turning into a dark pink. What had gotten into her? But how could she help it? He was so adorable and sweet and...and he called her with her name. He actually did. She smiled slightly at the thought of how nicely it sounded with his british accent. She then slightly pouted and looked away.
Those Kirklands.
