"We just have to continue traveling over shallow waters, and eventually, we'll make it to Alaska,"
"But you have no basis for saying that,"
"Relax, it's just a little pep talk," Commander Mu La Flaga spoke as he poked Captain Murrue Ramius on the nose with a forefinger, smiling at her questioning squeak that slipped out of her mouth and confused expression.
She put on her best aggravated look as he walked away laughing, but it slowly melted away once she saw the humor ofthe situation. She covered up a chuckle as she ran to catch up to him.
"Commander, wait," She finally reached his pace; stopping him in his tracks once he heard her voice.
He smiled warmly, gently coaxing her to continue.
"I – It's just that – well – I – I wanted to thank you," She fumbled over her words, trying to get the appropriate ones out.
"For what?" Confusion filled his blue eyes, replacing the humor that's usually overflowing from them.
"For everything, you've always been there for me despite the fact that I havn't always been right, or made the best decisions. Even when no one else stood behind me, there you were, supporting me no matter how wrong I was, and for that, I thank you," She looked away shyly once she finished, afraid to look him in the eye for some outrageous reason.
"You didn't have to thank me, Captain," She looked up at him as he spoke those words, not so surprised that he would say something likethat.
"I don't do it because it's what I should be doing, or because it's the right thing to do. I do it because I care," She looked shocked when he said that, a blush spreading accross her cheeks, but that evaporated into a grateful smile, and a secretly overjoyed smile that he wasn't just protecting her out of curtsey.
"Thank you, commander,"
Instead of walking away playfully, chuckling all the way down to their destination, he turned to fully face her, stared at her for a few seconds, and then wrapped her up in a tight hug. She stood there frozen in shock or joy, she didn't know which, not knowing what to do. After a few more seconds, however, she realized how good it felt to be held in his strong arms, and she wrapped her arms around his middle and hugged him back equally as tight. And there they stood, him not caring if this was harassment, and her not caring who the hell saw them, because if there was anyone she wanted to be seen with, it was him.
:Just something short and sweet that I thought up at 11:03last night before crashing for school today. :yawns: long weekend. Suggestions are actually needed right about now. Although I do have another drabble all written down, its just a matter of me typing it up. But, first things first, SWSW needs updating :3 I tried to re-write this scene as best as I could, but it's been a while since I've seen the actual episode with this scene, so it's not perfect and some of the actual scenes just a touch redone. I just thought that it was about time she thanked him for saving her ass from accusation on more than one occasion xD Hope you all enjoyed it ;) Suggestions are loved :P
