(This chapter is dedicated to a friend who wanted a hot scene with Captain and Rip and she begged ((literally on her knees)) me till I gave in. So yes. Enjoy the shortness. They may or may not get a little steamy. You'll just have to wait and see. XD Song: 'Everything Will Be Alright' (c) The Killers)

I believe in you and me

I'm coming to find you, if it takes me all night

Wrong until you make it right, and I won't forget you

At least I'll try...

And run, and run tonight...

"He ist coming!" I yelled. I watched a giant black shadow plummeting towards the ship we were on. I was kneeling on one knee, holding my rifle and shivering. I wanted to run away but I couldn't move. I clenched my eyes shut and bowed my head, the only part of me I could move. I felt tears streaming down my face and my grip tightened on the barrel of the rifle. I waited for it all to end...why won't he just leave me alone!

I opened my eyes slowly and saw the dim hall lights above me. I was being carried somewhere by someone. I closed my eyes for a moment then opened them once more, looking at who was carrying me. Captain. I was glad it was him for some reason. I watched him while he carried me. He hadn't noticed I woke up, for he was looking forward. I blinked slightly, and then an evil grin crossed my face. I glanced up the hall to make sure no one was coming and I looked up at Captain, seeing he was still looking ahead. I laughed in my mind and snuggled close to him, wrapping my arms around him and closed my eyes so he'd think I was still asleep. I felt him stop, hearing the collar to his coat ruffle as he looked down at me. I laughed again in my mind and snuggled even closer to him, sneaking an eye open and looking up at him. I saw his eye twitching. I couldn't resist and started laughing.

Captain's eyes widened and he looked down at me, a glare crossing his face. He dropped me and I fell to the floor, still laughing. I stood and slid over to him, putting my arms around him once more. "Vhat ist ze matter, Captain? Don't tell me zis ist embarrassing you..." I smirked as two soldiers walked past us and stared, one even turning and watching. When Captain saw this he quickly pulled my arms away from him and held them away from him, at my sides.

He gave me a look saying, "What the hell do you think you're doing!" I merely laughed and rolled my eyes, shrugging. I moved closer to him as more soldiers passed and said "Vould you like to kiiiiiiss me Captain?" The soldiers snickered, eavesdropping and Captain clenched his eyes shut. No matter how hard he had tried to hide it, I saw him blush. I blinked, the want to embarrass him going away slightly.

'He ist…vhy ist he blushing? Does he really…nein. He vouldn't vant…I should stop.' And with that, I did. I pulled my arms away from him and moved away. I apologized quietly and saw a look of suprise cross his face, the blush going away. I turned and walked to my room, closing the door softly and leaned against it, sliding down slowly. Sighing, I put my head on my knees and closed my eyes. In my head I tried to figure out WHY I had done that. Entertainment? Thrills? Getting a reaction? Maybe I liked him...nein...not that...anything but that...I put my head in my hands and forced that thought out of my head. I stood up and took my jacket off, my eyes still closed. I removed my glasses and put them on the nightstand beside my coffin, then went to the bathroom and washed up. When I came out of the bathroom, wiping my face with a towel, I heard a knock on my door. I blinked, taking my glasses, slipping them on and walked to the door, tossing the towel behind me into the laundry bin. It was getting late and the sun was about to rise, so it made me wonder who it was. Major...nein...he didn't come to you...you came to him. Dok...? I thought a moment on that one...nein. No reason for him. Schrodinger or Zorin? Mmm...maybe Schrodinger. Nein...still no reason. I put my hand on the doorknob, knowing the only way to find out who it was, was to open the door. I turned the knob and opened the door slowly and standing there was...

Captain.

I blinked and stared at him, not really realizing it til his brows furrowed into a questioning look. I snapped out of it and scratched my head, laughing nervously. "Ehm...hallo Captain...umm..." I remembered my manners and stepped to the side. "Come in, if you vish..." I watched him. He was taller then the doorway and half of him was covered in shadows. He looked around him and then ducked into the room, standing straight once again after getting through the doorway. I closed the door slowly, my hands shaking. I looked at them. 'Vhat ist wrong vith me!' I stared at them for a bit longer, then remembered Captain was there. I spun around, leaning my back against the door and putting my hands quickly behind my back so he wouldn't see them. He was looking around the room when I turned and then he looked at me.

"..." Was of course, all he said. He lifted his hat, his blonde-ish hair showing, and scratched his head some, then placed the hat back on. I blinked, getting slightly uncomfortable.

"...Vhat brings you here at zis time of day?" I asked slowly, trying to avoid eye contact with him. But finally I knew I had to look at him in order to get an answer and I gulped quietly, and looked up. What happened then, I would never have expected, thought of, spoken of, or even DREAMED of. His hands were on the door beside my head in an instant and his face was inches away from mine. If he moved his face forward any more, our noses would've been touching. I began shaking, thinking 'Oh no...he's come to get revenge. He's going to kill me. I shouldn't have done it. I shouldn't have done it.' I quickly began apologizing and watched as he tilted his head, listening and watching me. I looked down at the floor and then saw him take a hand off the door. I clenched my eyes shut, ready to be hit, but instead his hand cupped my chin and tilted my head up. I slowly began to open one of my eyes but then I felt his lips on mine. At that, my eyes shot open. I looked at his face, which showed no sign of embarrassment at all. His eyes and nose were shadowed by the brim of his hat and he seemed at peace. I blinked slightly as he pulled away from the kiss. I'll admit it. I was in shock. It was something I never thought he would do, but I guess I was proved horribly wrong.

I looked at him and he had a look of sorry in his eyes. I felt my face grow hot as I gathered my courage enough to stand on my tiptoes and kiss him. He froze, probably now the one in the role of shock. I couldn't see his face, as my eyes were closed. I had dreamed about this. Me kissing him, but him kissing me...that wasn't part of the dream. I began to sink slightly as I began to get cramps in my calves from having to strain the muscle to be even NEAR his height. I was then pushed up against the door and held up by him. He was stronger then I had originally thought. Sure I had seen him fight, but his muscles must be quite large. I couldn't help but shake, feeling as if my body was tearing itself apart from shivering so much. He pushed my head back against the door, deepening the kiss and I couldn't help but return it. What happens after this, I will not tell a soul. It will forever remain between Captain and I, those who wish to know, will be denied. All I will tell you, my friends, is that if any had known, they would've thought we were more then just friends.

...Everything will be alright...
