Disclaimer: I do NOT own Looney Tunes, Warner Brothers, Duck Dodgers, etc. If I DID, things would probably be interestingly weirder. XD I ONLY own MY OC(s).
Pairing(s): Commander X-2/Marvin the Martian and my OC Kitna Nox.
Author's Note(s): Title is a play on "Misinterpretation" which is fun because as usual, it has more than one meaning. XD YAY for puns and wordplay!
Sorry this update took so long, but eh, life happens. LoL X3 Got caught up working on my other fics and stuff.
"Captain and Commander"
"Miss Interpretation"
As the doors opened, the Queen's attention shifted to see the arrival of Kitna. She wondered what had taken so long, but thought that could wait until later. Tyr'ahnee stood to greet her, as the smaller female approached.
The Commander noticed the direction the Queen was looking, but when he tried to look, he found his view blocked by the two guards on either side of him. But as a figure passed by, did he find his eyes unconsciously drawn to her small yet sylphlike form.
And when she stood up beside Tyr'ahnee and turned to face him, did he feel like all the air had suddenly been sucked from his lungs and his chest tighten in an oddly nice yet painful way.
The Halfling wore a turquoise outfit that consisted of shoes like the Queen's, as well as a bandana to keep that snowy white hair out of her eyes, a bandeau top and billowed pants; none of which were see-through like Tyr'ahnee's, and seemed far more elegant because of it.
As well as traditional Martian jewelry similar to the Queen's, except the green gem was a much lighter shade and on her necklace rather than her forehead. And while this ensemble was tasteful and showed off her shapely lithe form, it was her ruby red eyes that stunned him the most.
But these sudden strange and slightly painful feelings made him feel anxious and baffled, and he didn't like it one bit. In fact, it only added to his anger that she made him feel all weird and not understand why.
Maybe it was some kind of sneaky Earth trick or this was how he felt disgusted at seeing a half-breed like her. Yeah… that had to be it. It couldn't be that she looked so good that it took his breath away. No way!
It had to be because she looked so hideous! What with her having a visible mouth and all. Yes, that sounded more like him. And when she coolly turned her attention upon him like she was studying him, he merely glowered back; wishing that for once looks could kill so that he could be rid of one less Earth pest.
His fists clenched hard enough to feel his nails digging through his gloves when a small, knowing smile curled those pouty red lips; like she knew something he didn't. And he very much hated that.
"Sorry to have made you wait, your Majesty." Kitna apologized with a slightly sheepish grin to her cousin, who seemed in much better spirits at the smaller woman's arrival; much to X-2's disdain. "It's quite alright, Kit. We were only going over a few things." Tyr'ahnee replied in kind.
Kitna moved to stand right beside her cousin, as the queen sat back down. "Kitna, this is Commander X-2." The Queen began the introduction with a gesture of the hand to Marvin.
"And this is my cousin, and your future Princess of Mars, should you live long enough to see it that is, Captain Kitna Nox of the Galactic Protectorate of Earth." Tyr'ahnee finished; eyes narrowing on the part mentioning Marvin's mortality.
He gulped at the possibility that he might die if unable to prove his innocence; somehow finding solace in blaming the blasted Earth mutt for his predicament. "Hello Commander… I wish we could've met under better circumstances." Kitna greeted politely; observing his reactions closely.
X-2 found he was slightly taken aback by her welcoming tone, despite the fact that he could've and had attempted to kill her; even if it was Dork Dodgers he was after, but was able to keep up his hateful attitude. "You and me both. Though I doubt it would've made much difference to how I feel about you." He told her dryly.
She couldn't help smirking on the inside at a chance to mess with him a little. If he was going to act hateful and mean, then Kitna was going to have some fun. "But Commander!" Kitna exclaimed coyly with a bashful wave of her hand. "We've only just met!"
Marvin's eyes bugged out comically, as his heart skipped a beat, and he felt inexplicably warm at the way she batted her eyelashes at him and spoke in a manner he found alarmingly charming.
He had to shake his head to snap out of it; reminding himself that he was supposed to hate her, not acting like a thunderstruck goof. Kitna's smile widened at his reaction; finding it interesting and also a little pleased seeing as he supposedly hated Earth creatures like her… or so he claimed.
It took a moment to compose himself, but when he did, he shot her a heated glare. Though it only upset him even more when he noticed it didn't faze the soon to be princess in the least. "Th-that's not what I meant!" He cried in vexation.
Tyr'ahnee watched their interactions and couldn't help finding it oddly entertaining to see her cousin fluster the Commander so. 'There she goes…' The Queen thought as she tried not to chuckle at her quirky cousins antics.
"You mean, you're not confessing your love for me?" Kitna asked in the same falsely sweet and shy manner; feigning a look of hurt that made him hesitate slightly before he retorted; feeling more flustered by the halfling every minute.
"WH-WHAT?! No! Of course not!" His face felt oddly warm and he felt angrier to realize that she'd made him blush.
"So… does that mean you don't believe in love at first sight?" Kitna queried in a tone to match her look of fake hurt. Despite it being false, it still made his chest tighten in a weird way he didn't like. "That would be a definite no." He stated flatly; his arms crossed over his chest.
Both the Queen and Kitna found his reddening cheeks to be noteworthy; Kitna more so than her cousin, as Tyr'ahnee took it more for anger than anything else. "Oh really…" The lovely young captain began as she tilted her head slightly to the side and then smirked cockily.
"Should I walk by again then?" She teased; her voice lowering in a playful manner that made the poor Commander stare at her blushingly and dumbstruck before clenching his fists and looking like he wished he had his taser. "I'd very much prefer it if you didn't!" He gritted out acidly.
Tyr'ahnee cleared her throat; doing her best not to laugh at her cousins amusing little display. "Shall we proceed with the interrogation cousin?" Kitna nodded, but kept her mellow gaze upon X-2; much to his chagrin.
"The Commander informs me that his ship was so badly damaged that he was unable to communicate or discern other ships properly, so he assumed you were Captain Dodgers and commenced his assault upon your vessel." Tyr'ie explained curtly; ignoring X-2's existence entirely, which he found hurtful.
Why was it that the only attention he received wasn't from his Queen, but from that insolent little cur of a captain? "I see…" The half Martian woman, who was just an inch or so taller than Marvin, mused thoughtfully.
She took in the appearance of the Commander for the first time since having entered the room; having been too caught up in playing before, and she didn't like what she saw. Despite all his zealous disdain, he looked rather exhausted as if he hadn't been sleeping well if at all, as well as rather unkempt. Not something you'd see often from someone with a freakishly clean a room as his.
She could understand that being imprisoned while awaiting a judgment that could very well end your life could do that to you. Kitna had been captured by enemies before and had to get away.
So it was easy to see that her cousin had certainly made sure he was being punished even before a sentence was given. Not something Kitna approved of entirely, but she supposed she could understand Tyr'ie's side of things as well… Even if the young captain didn't take very kindly to it.
To be continued...
TA DA! XD So, Marvin finally got a look at Kitna. LoL, I mean, I don't care how much you hate someone or supposedly hate them, you can always see if they're attractive or not in most cases; at least in this one.
Kitna is a surprisingly kind soul in contrast to her cousin Tyr'ie, and though this tends to confuse the Queen at times, they still manage to get along surprisingly well and fun stuff like that.
Until next chapter, tootles you lovelies you! ;3
