First Fight

Puddykatz! Here yea go. Not sure about it. Might try another one later.

…

The crew peaked into one of the storage rooms. Law was inside. The captain was grumbling to himself and pointlessly moving things around. The crew exchanged confused looks before slowly shrinking away from the room. They quietly tiptoed away, in fear they'd get caught by their grumpy captain. They found themselves at the rec. room. They peaked inside. Neo was sitting on the couch. She had her knees pulled up to her chest and was hugging them with tears shining in her blue eyes.

"Go talk to her, Penguin," Shachi pleaded. "Please?"

"Yeah," A crew mate agreed. "The chill they're creating in the sub is about to freeze everything. If this keeps up much longer, Neo's going to have to unfreeze us with her crystals."

"What happened anyway?" Bepo asked.

"We don't know," Another crew mate said. "They just came back from shopping like this."

"All right. I'll see what I can do," Penguin said. He watched the others disappear before heading into the room.

"What's wrong, Neo?" Penguin asked softly. He sat down by his sister.

"Law's upset with me," She whispered.

"What?" Penguin gave her a disbelieving look. "Why?"

"I don't know," Neo rubbed her right eye then looked at Penguin. "We were shopping. This guy spoke to me then suddenly Law was angry."

"Well, what did this guy say?" Penguin coaxed gently.

"Um, he said, 'Hello', then asked me how I was going. I answered him."

"Did he smile at you?"

"Yes. He then propped up on his elbow with his hand on his chin. He told me a joke and I laughed."

"I see." Penguin rubbed his chin in thought.

"What did I do wrong? Why is Law upset with me? I don't understand."

"You did nothing wrong, Neo. This is actually the captain's fault."

"What?"

"Try not to think about this anymore." Penguin hugged her. "I'll speak with the captain and clear this right up. Just don't cry. Okay?"

"Okay." Neo nodded. Penguin pressed his lips to her forehead before leaving the room.

Penguin thought carefully as he walked down the halls. He paused to look at his captain before entering the room Law was still in. "Captain, what I'm about to say, I say on Neo's behalf. So don't Shambles me into a million pieces."

Law sighed. "What is it?"

"You are a moron." Law glared at Penguin. The man jumped but held his ground. "You let your jealousy control you. Neo doesn't even realize that that guy was flirting with her."

Law's eyes softened into realization. Penguin continued. "You really need to go talk to her. She's on the verge of tears."

Without another word, Law rushed out of the room. Penguin watched him go before crashing to the ground in relief that he didn't get Shambled. Law bolted down the halls and into the rec. room. Neo raised her eyes to him. Before she could speak, Law was right in front of her. He pressed his lips to hers and kissed her intensely. Minutes later he pulled away from her panting. "I'm sorry. I was being stupid."

"What?" Neo asked, barely about to process his words.

"Penguin was right. I let my jealousy get out of control. I forgot you're not as socially aware as I am. You didn't realize that guy was flirting with you," Law said.

"Flirting? He was flirting?" Neo asked. She blinked and thought back to the guy at the store. "I'm sorry. I didn't know."

"No, I'm the one who's sorry. I made you feel bad. And I almost made you cry." Law tilted her chin up. He cringed at the tears in her eyes. He was glad they hadn't fallen yet. He hated seeing her cry, especially if the tears were caused by him. He leaned towards her and pressed his lips to the corner of her left eye. He then kissed the corner of her right eye before capturing her lips again with his own. He broke the kiss to let her refill her lungs. "I promise I won't let that happen again."

"Your not upset with me anymore?"

"No, love. Come here." Law took her in his arms and laid back on the couch, pulling her on top of him. He then recaptured her lips.

….

"Ah," The crew watched from the hallway as their captain and Neo made up and made out.

"You all, get away from there!" Penguin hissed quietly. "They've just made up. They don't need an audience. Go busy yourselves before the captain Shambles you all. Out! Out!"

The crew scattered. Penguin reached into the room and closed the door.
