A/N:: Welcome to another chappie! Thanks for the reviews! I know he readily accepted what happened, but his fire plays a big part with him now. Being a comfort and a reassurance as to what happened! Excuse any mistakes!
Enjoy!
"Lower my dosage?" I ask while Maybelle has me sitting in her small little office and gives a nod while tightening her hair in a ponytail.
"Yes, I think it would be beneficial as maybe your fire could help along with it as you have healed from this past injury." A nod slowly leaves me as it could possibly work and I look off to the side for a few seconds longer.
"It could, but we don't know until we try." I mention, Maybelle smiling with a nod of her head, glad I understood. "You let me know the set-up plan of it and about the dosages."
"Of course, I will keep you informed of everything along with Pops as I ran it by him as well." She comments, a nod leaving me as I was perfectly fine with Pops knowing. "Come back in a couple days, I should have something set up then. Continue your medicine as is right now."
"Alright," I reply before a hand waves at me that she was done since we already talked of my fire on necessarily needing to rest in it any longer. I agreed, but also promised myself to let it show up more often to quell the desire and let the ease fill me.
Leaving the infirmary, I am met with Lion commenting on who was finished with their sorting as we had half in the storage and the other in the two rooms for cleaning. The rooms were taking a little longer as a full-blown pillow fight broke out before they were scolded by Marco, having me laugh lightly. I waved it off, since that was the only task for the day, and Lion leans a bit in towards me with eyes flickering.
"They started it back up again with more joining though." A snort leaves me before we head for the room and I notice two pillows in the hall. Lion moves ahead of me, grabbing both as I can clearly hear rumbustious laughter and shouts of challenge. One is tossed to me, having me grin before moving to the room right behind Lion, both of us letting out a battle cry. Everyone had cheered while we joined in, me jumping over beds to land fluff into Kratos face.
Time flew by as we enjoyed the rowdy play, pillows slamming against each other and some feathers would escape from them. Laughter rang out the most, a name thrown out with a charge, and the 'oof's of being hit with a cushion. Hal had snuck up on me, shoulders to my knees as he swiftly gets me from my feet and I hanging upside down behind him. Complaints leave me as a few gave an onslaught of pillows, my sputters filled with laughter.
"Alright, alright, yoi!" The words have everyone stop and I can't see Marco at the door, but I can tell he was probably a little peeved. "I told you all earlier to finish up." The remark has me scoff before shifting to sit onto shoulders of Hal, who holds my ankles in place.
"Calm down, turkey. We'll clean up before hitting up dinner!" I mention, Marco seeming a little surprised I am the fray of things. "Right, guys?" I ask out with a glance around and most give agreement and cheers. "Plus, I will have sorting report done before sleeping tonight. No need to worry." I smile while moving the pillow I had to rest on Hal's head and lean on it.
"As long as you make sure everything is cleaned up and done with. Dinner should be ready in an hour." Marco merely replies as something lingers in his gaze that I have seen among the other commanders towards me.
"Sure thing, birdie~!" I holler as he had begun leaving and I soon move to get my pillow and nailed Iman in the face. "Game on!"
"Aye!"
-o-o-o-o-
"Is this revenge or something?" I inquire, my bandana tied around my neck as Izou was festering with some jewelry like necklaces on top of my head.
"If you must know, sort of." Izou continues as I sit on his bed while he makes work with fingers shifting to get things organized on my head properly. "Your lover is being a major cockblock for Thatch and me," a snort leaves me at hearing that before he pulls away while stepping back to gaze to me with hands to hips. "So, it would be great if you could be a sweetie and distract him for like, thirty minutes? And this adornment will help distract him more, like with the rhinestones I put on you."
"What do I get out of this?" I ask with a small frown, feeling the weight on my head as it felt different with it not being my bandana.
"Hopefully some time alone as well." A smirk lingers, having me flush with a few sputters and he chuckles. "I will let you make-up Thatch," the remark has me raise eyebrows before grinning.
"Deal!" I agree, having him chuckle before pulling my hands up and pushing me to the door.
"Now, go distract a certain bird." Izou remarks as I leave the room and Thatch is coming from the other door with a grin to me.
"Looking good, little bro." Finger guns are at me, having me snort with eyes rolling. "Marco is near the mast."
"Thanks," I smile while trailing out and close the door as I make my way down to the main deck. Wondering around, most are chuckling as they know Izou reigned me in and I joked around near the commanders' rooms. It didn't take long before Marco found me with an eyebrow raised and coming up with eyes flickering at the adornment.
"What's the occasion?" The question lingers with a cooing as I had met him by the railing after excusing myself from my division brothers.
"Does Izou ever need a reason?" I ask with arms crossed and raising a brow and he chortles while a hand grips to one of mine.
"Did he run out of stones?" He stares along my face as I laugh lightly with a shrug.
"I don't know, he just dragged me in and promised a prank on Thatch." I grin at the thought of putting heavy make up on the fourth commander. A chuckle leaves Marco as he keeps eyes to me, having me a flush a little.
"Either way, it looks cuter like this, yoi." The words cause a festering and I grip his hand while blushing heatedly with free hand coming up to my chin. I want to cover my face at the mentioning and he gives cooing before tugging me closer. "Now, what's the real reason Izou decided to decorate you?" The question has me flick eyes up to notice him stare in knowing and I huff with a pout.
"You are not letting them have time together." I mutter with a frown showing and he raises a brow before sighing in realization.
"I see… I have been a little harsh with work, but if Thatch just did his work on time…" The words trail as he thinks while gazing off to the side and I chuckle. "I'll leave them alone for now as long as you trail along with me to my room." Blue eyes are dancing in a desire, having this heat start within me.
"Oh, I never…" I mention with head thrown back and he chuckles before he begins pulling me along.
"Come on, yoi. Let me get that jewelry out of your hair." The remark has me smiling and trailing behind him with small chatter. If anyone noticed us disappear, no one said anything and as I was pulled into his room, lips found mine.
A hum leaves me at the feel of him start to press along me as one hand is around my waist to pull me in close. I let flames trail along my chest and he pulls back enough to coo in happiness of the feel before I move hands to grip the back of his head. I meet him for a kiss as he moves his other hand to detangle the jewelry and letting them drop somewhere as our lips move. I let a tongue peek for exploration and he accepted with his joining and I moan while he shifts to have me against the wall.
Having my fire cascade along our front side quelled us both as his hand got the last chain out and pulled my bandana off from neck. Once it left me, he moved to trail kisses along my jaw and to my neck with nips. A soft groan leaves me while moving one hand to rest to his shoulder and the other lined along his side under his shirt. This soft growl lingers as he let's teeth nip harder and that has my hips buck with tight grips to him. It had been a long while since I had any type of foreplay and, even then, that wasn't much with the one-night stands wanting to just get it over with.
A knock resounds on the door behind me, having me purse lips with a shaky breath leaving me while Marco moves his forehead to my shoulder with a heavy sigh. "Yes?" The question comes out for the person on the other side.
"Pops made some adjustments to the course, Marco-chi." The voice and added part of Marco's name has me know it's Gill, the one who is in charge of navigation—under Marco, of course.
"Right now?" Marco question, not wanting to stop this moment and there is a soft hum on the other side.
"Also, Commander Blenheim-chi is looking for Ace-chi." A sigh leaves me this time and my lover pulls back with a hand rubbing to his eye as he has eyebrows set high, looking aggravated, but understanding.
"One moment, yoi." The words are almost mumbled, and Gill only agrees while I shift a little. I hadn't been too riled up yet and cooled off easily, going for a quick kiss to Marco, hands cupping his face.
"I would call this karma, old man." I remark with a smirk as he had been harsh with Izou and he only glares with a slight scowl. A laugh leaves me while grabbing my bandana before opening the door as Marco turns with grumbles and going to his desk. "Hey, Gill! Where is Blenheim?"
"In the meeting room," he merely comments with a small smile and I nod.
"Try not to overwork our commander!" I mention while moving past him and he chuckles lightly as I get the other door open.
"He does that on his own," the remark has Marco making a complaint and I am laughing while leaving.
