Marco leaned against the door fighting his want to hold her as he watched the woman before him.
He gave a light scoff "I almost believed you-yoi." He stated watching her distant expression fade and her eyes lock on his. The flashes of her beside him fluttered through his head and clouded his vision for a moment as she leaned forward on her arms between her legs.
"About breakfast?" She asked and then looking at his blank face nodded "So not that then?" She asked. Marco gave a soft "no." "I almost believed what you said about the people-yoi." He stated with a light smile "But that's not the whole truth is it-yoi?" He asked her.
Domino scoffed "No, actually that was real." She stated looking down. Marco narrowed his eyes and then rolled them.
"To you maybe-yoi. But you didn't answer the mans question. If these people wanted to be free so badly they attacked the Marines then why don't you get the hint-yoi?" He asked.
Domino let out a sly smile and tilted her head "Because while I sympathize, I still have orders. This isn't some place we can just pack up and leave you know? Honestly If it was a matter of just me and my men I wouldn't be here." She stated and then gave him a serious look. "It's a little to close to home, you know?" She asked him honestly. He nodded and then crossed his arms.
"So you won't just leave-yoi?" He asked giving a knowing smile "Even for an attack from the heavy hitters?" He smirked.
Domino rolled her eyes and dropped her head "You act like I'll just give this place up Birdy boy." She teased. Marco rolled his eyes "Name calling now are we-yoi?" He responded his arms still crossed but his body relaxing.
Domino shrugged "Can you blame me? I need every inch I can get." She spoke in an alluring tone. Marco snapped his eyes back at her "Poor choice of words-yoi." He moved closer to her only for her to stick out her leg and stop him.
He mocked surprise as she nodded "I mean what I say. But lets be serious now." She stated her tone turning harsh Marco smiled before holding up his hands in defense and moving to lean against the wall again. His body burning as he watched her move.
"Serious? Whats the fun in that-yoi?" He asked again before watching her face shift to a frown and felt his whole body cave to her every move. He was weak against her and he enjoyed it.
"Fun or not you threatened us. You don't think I'd actually let that slide?" She stated moving to cross her arms and moved closer to the edge so her legs softly touched the ground.
Marco shrugged "It wouldn't be much of a fight would it-yoi?" He teased. It was his turn to rouse her like she did him. But he wasn't sure if she was driven mad like she did him. He was finding it hard to look at her without wanting to walk up and pin her to that very counter. But that wasn't the only thing that drove him crazy. While there attraction was there it was something else that drove him mad about her. Every time his eyes graced her body all he could remember was her body with his. How she was only his. But now sat another woman, she wasn't relaxed and though she smiled it seemed pained. It disgusted him that she left. Or it disgusted him that when he looked at her suddenly everything in the world melted away and he hated that more. But he didn't hate her. He couldn't stop thinking about how her body felt with his, or the sleepy look she gave him as she tried to lay on his shoulder. Or her voice lulling him into another sense of nostalgia.
"You think so?" She asked smiling. Marco nodded "I know so-yoi." She rolled her eyes "I remember I had you beat a couple of times. Or do you need a reminder?" She asked him biting her lip slightly once again sending him into a frenzy but still he held himself back. He wasn't done playing just yet.
"I had you screaming a few too-yoi." He responded giving her his own look. Domino took in a deep breath feeling her body grow hot and bit her lip again but quickly ran her hand through her hair to distract her from the perfect man before her.
His rippling abs, his blond hair, and how he looked at her all drove her crazy but she was still a marine and a damn proud one at that. She couldn't let this man win again.
"See, hmm," She giggled breaking away from Marcos stare which soon turned in to a bright smile in return before they both looked away. She shrugged "So that was then, this is now. Now I'll win." She stated beginning to stand up with a smile.
Marco nodded "Sure sure only if I let you-yoi." He teased in his relaxed tone moving towards her. Neither one of them knew exactly why they where pulled towards the other. It just happened the gap had closed and Marco stood a few inches away from her he was so close he could pull him to her and nibble her neck much like he did before but instead she rolled her eyes and pushed him away again. Marco feigned shook before leaning back as she moved back to the counter top.
"Please Phoenix, you're on my turf now. You'd think you win?" She called out to him her eyes giving him a look of disbelief. Marco smirk almost licking his lips before he stopped himself. This woman was driving him mad.
"I know I will Marine-yoi." He almost growled before he had to mentally hold himself back. She was just to intoxicating. Neither one of them have had a single drop of alcohol and yet they where just as hot for each other as that night a month ago.
Domino took a deep breath and pulled on her tank top before realizing that Marco sent her a knowing look. She then gave a light smile and jumped back on the counter spreading her legs and leaning in between them giving Marco a clear view of her chest. "You could try it Phoenix, but I promise you won't." her sultry voice luring Marco towards her. He felt his body grow hotter as he moved before he saw a quick smirk cross her face. He sent her a small glare before he looked away.
Realizing what she had meant by on my turf. He had originally put it as a side thought for her meaning land knowing her devil fruit. But that wasn't what she meant at all. "Sadist-yoi." He stated leaning away from her watching as she gave a pout.
"Can't blame a girl for trying? Was I at least a little bit sexy?" She questioned. The way she sounded wasn't sad but more proud. This too drove him crazy. But the fact he almost feel for it was even worse. He was at war with her and if he had moved he would of lost and he was not going to do that again.
He had his pride after all.
"Maybe-yoi." He spoke before looking at her "But like I said, I will be the one to win Marine-yoi." He stated before walking towards her he watched as she held in a breath and straightened up as he moved to lightly pull her face towards his so their lips where matched.
He loved how her body was like putty in his hands. It was a powerful feeling that was better than any high he could get from anywhere else. It was a type of power he didn't know he wanted till he had it. And he had her. Domino knew it that was why she let him get away with this soft touch. She even found herself pushing her body closer to his.
"Trust me-yoi." He voice whispered before he leaned to close the gap. Domino moved with him but before their lips could meet she felt Marco's smile as he pulled back watching Dominos eyes send him a glare.
"I thought you said it wouldn't be easy-yoi?" He asked her before pulling away as she blinked and reached for something anything to throw at him before twisting her wrists.
"Think you're cute huh?" She asked as a a ring of Pineapple plants appeared around him breaking the wood floor as their roots began to grow deeper. What he didn't notice was how she moved her wrists to weave a trap around him.
He tilted his head seeing the fully ripe pineapples and looking at how small they were compared to his own height and simply scoffed. "No, these, these are cute-yoi." He smiled looking at them before lifting his legs up to step over it. "Like you." He began to tease, however as he saw her smile grow wide and watched her jump off the counter and twist her arm a quick green lacing formed around his foot pulling him down over the fruits. His other leg quickly growing stiff as well bringing him to his knees straddled over a very pointy Pineapple fruit.
Marco looked from her to the thorn netting now digging in to his calves. He then gave a small shake of the head planning to move from the netting when he looked down and saw that these plants where now black. Quickly he looked back to Domino who held a vine with two black fingers trailing down the stems that now wrapped around him.
She gave a light wave and walked closer to the kneeling Marco who tried to watch how far down he leaned. "Like I said Phoenix," She stated moving closer to him her lips spread slightly and bit her lip as Marco moved his arms to balance looking for a brief moment frantic. "You are on my turf." She cooed making sure she pronounced every syllable in that sultry tone that drove him mad.
He looked up at her a plan forming in his head as he quickly wrapped his hands around her waist and pulled her down, knocking the vine from her hold and quickly snapping the vines to hold her bridal style.
Domino barely blinked before her arms quickly wrapped around Marcos neck with a squeak to see him give a winning smile.
"I believe you were wrong Marine-yoi." He teased looking down at how her hair fell exposing her shoulders and framing her body. He looked at how her honey eyes were wide and her breathing was now heavy. He watched as her eyes moved down his body and how she gave him that look that drove him wild.
Quickly he captured her lips with his own and the battle begun. Domino moved her body, so she now wrapped her legs around his waist. His arms quickly went to her firm ass to support and squeeze as they moved against each other. He quickly moved her towards the counter placing her there and pulling himself away only to hear a small moan of disapproval from the marine. He looked once again at her chest before her hand went to his face pulling him to look at her own soft smile.
"What you wants up here. Marco." She spoke softly. He let out a growl before quickly going for her neck nipping and biting as her body moved in his hands. "Don't say my name like that-yoi." He warned between biting on her ear only to hear another light moan. "Like what?" She asked knowing the answer but wanting to hear it anyway.
"Like you want me-yoi." He softly whispered across her ears. She let the sound carry chills down her spin as she pushed herself in to him.
"Maybe I do? Is that so bad?" She tried to hold back another moan from her lips as he moved down her neck. "Yes-yoi." He nodded against her skin. She smiled and let her hands run down his back lightly clawing at it only to hear his own sounds in return.
"Then by all means stop." She shrugged before he stopped and pulled away watching her face daring him to respond before her shook his head.
"No." Was all he said and once again he was back on her body. However it didn't last long before a terrifying sound and sight pulled the two away with quick breaths. Marco stayed over Domino as she buried her face in his chest shaking her head. "Freaken fuck." She spoke as she heard a light but feminine cough.
"See and you were worried about them." Thatch's playful voice tease as Marco sent Domino a look "Opps," He mouthed sticking his tongue out.
Domino gave a light giggle and pushed him away to see an angry red head look between the two of them then sighed her red tipped fingernails going to her temples. "I did not see this." She stated before Domino shrugged and reached for Marco. "Good nough for me?" She asked him who in return nodded before a quick and short Adaline pushed the two aside standing between them.
She turned towards Marco, flames in her eyes but was unknowing of Domino holding her hand above Adalines and making a clean sweep over her with a smile. Marco gave a light smile in return as Adaline pointed "You need to stay away from her. It is just to much paperwork!" She whisper shouted. Marco held out his hands with a relaxed smile playing along as Adaline quickly turn around catching Domino's hand in midair.
Domino gave her a guilty smile and crossed her eyes at Adaline's finger. "And you captain! You I have more hope for. How dare you let this happen in a sleazy back room like this." She shook her head "You are a woman of standards." She stated. Domino nodded and moved to jump off the table quickly towering over the smaller woman who only stood firm.
"You should not allow yourself to be taken here. Pick somewhere else, like a bed for gods sake don't be to easy! We'll never win if you'll lie on your back anywhere." She stated with a stern voice. Domino looked down at her and held up her own hand.
"1, on my back is the last position I'll ever be in." She started as Marco nodded to himself to Thatch's surprise. "And 2, would my bed be an acceptable place?" She asked seriously looking over Adaline to see a pale faced Thatch and a smirking Marco. They had much unfinished business and Domino would be damned if a drunk Adaline would stop her from getting it.
Adaline took in a deep breath and shook her head "Wait no what am I saying? This is bad very bad." She mumbled before Domino grabbed her shoulders and leaned in. "Ada, I love you but let me get mine and you go get yours." She smiled nodding with big eyes.
Adaline turned around and looked at Thatch before she furrowed her eyebrows and frowned "Him? But he's not even interested." She stated out loud making a signal at how she cut open his face.
To which Thatch let out a loud laugh as did the others.
Domino looked up at the other two and sent them glares as Adaline looked at the two straight faces and then at Domino. What she didn't see was the minuet the two faces broke and tried to hold it together for fear of Domino's rage.
Thatch looked down at the floor and pointed to the ring of pineapples and then Marco who waved him off.
"Oh my, dear sweet drunk little Ada. How about this." Domino smiled as Adaline moved from one foot to another. "How about I escort this wonderfully endowed man to my room and you try and find out if this one is interested. Okay? we'll compare and contrast tomorrow?" She stated to see Marco and Thatch make faces and then Marco nod with a proud smile. As Thatch looked uneasy between the two.
Adaline's eyes went big and she smiled "With charts?" She asked growing giddy. Domino took a second to bite back the nervous giggle and the smile and nodded. "Hmm mmh. Yeap." She tried really hard not to break. Sure sending your best friend in to the arms of a pirate for your own wants was devious and un-marine like but the marines had never had a man like Marco in mind when they made those rules.
Adaline frowned and then turned from Domino to Marco "Don't leave so many goddamn marks on her again we had to write it off as a training accident!" She spoke before pointing to the far end of the room. "There's a back door, please do not tarnish our reputation." She spoke before grabbing Thatch by the collar and dragging him out of the door to his surprise.
Domino went wide eyed and blinked as Marco moved closer to her watching to door click close behind them. "She, scares me-yoi." He stated before turning to Domino who nodded "Trust me her bites worse then her bark." She stated wrapping her arms around Marco with a smile.
"Now where were we?" She asked him tilting her head a little. Marco looked up "I believe I was tarnishing your reputation-yoi?" He mocked before biting down on her neck as she nodded.
"Right, right. My room then?" She asked pulling him away and leading him by the hand out the doors and in to the brisk air.
Quickly she squeaked and wrapped her arms around her chest. "I thought this was a tropical island." She murmured to herself. Before nodding towards the tree line that ran in-between the districts.
Marco let out a smile thinking to offer her the very vest off his back. But it wouldn't do much good with it being open and sleeveless instead he scooped her up and held her close "Tell me where to go-yoi." He stated not looking down at her for fear he would have no choice but to take her right where they stood.
Domino wrapped her arms around his neck and shook her head "Straight ahead. But please, don't make a habit of this carrying thing." She stated before trying to make her large stature smaller. "But don't stop while your at it." She giggled as Marco smiled.
It didn't take long before the two were in sight of the Marine base where Domino tapped his shoulders and was set down softly remembering that she wasn't a some small woman. She was tall and muscular, and this man had carried her the whole way. It was freighting that he didn't even seemed the least bit tired.
She smiled and looked from the guard house to the entrance to him. "I hope I didn't tire you out Phoenix the fun hasn't eve began yet." She teased but then did a silent 'Thank you' as he gave a nod and looked at the guard house.
"So how are we getting in-yoi?" He asked her not ashamed that he was now grabbing her ass as he spoke. Domino's eyes went wide as she leaned back letting him and pointed to a tall window on the top of spiral structure. "You mean you've never broken in to a marine base before Phoenix?" She asked him mocking surprise.
He shook his head holding out his arms ready to lunge. "I've broken out of, never in." He paused "This should be fun-yoi." He mused giving a mischievous smile. Domino went wide eyes at the blue fire that began to grow around him and quickly swatted them away.
"No you brute! Your colors light up the night! Just follow me okay?" She stated leaning down towards the forest floor and twisting her wrists seeping her hands in the dirt. Marco watched with curiosity as lines began to form underneath the ground disrupting it and causing small piles to grow and fall over as green and brown roots began to appear rolling over each other and hiding back under the dirt before sprouting up along the side of the wall fanning and creeping its way towards the window before it stopped and Domino stood up wiping her hand on her pants.
"Now we walk." She stated. Marco looked at her confused and looked towards the guard tower. "That was nice to watch but wont we still get seen-yoi?" He asked her as she gave him a look and scoff. Before she motioned for him to look around. While he was watching the one set of roots he had failed to notice the other sets that fanned out and spread across the whole gap creating and mix with trees that now seemed to grow and shade the twos path in a natural way.
"If they can spot us through the foliage then I guess at that point we deserve to get caught huh?" She teased and began to walk calmly out in what used to be the open. Marco gawked for a second before he noticed the feet of open space between the large towering brick wall and the tree line was no longer existent.
"Just like the picture-yoi." He gasped before he caught Domino staring at him with a please smirk. "Ah so that's how you knew where we were." She exclaimed before continuing.
Marco watched that as she walked the very trees around her seemed to morph and bend with her. Then he noticed that she kept twisting her wrist as the trees they passed began to decay as new ones moved forward.
"And here I thought it was a connection." She continued looking over her shoulder to see a bewilder Marco watching everything she did. She smiled "How about my pretty flowers now?" She mused.
Marco shook his head as he picked up the pace behind her. "You have an awakened Devil Fruit power-yoi?" He asked her mesmerized by this woman.
She shrugged "I think? I've had my powers since I was a kid and used it in a lot of ways, so naturally I picked up some tricks." She explained as she held up her arm as she twisted her wrist. "It's kind of like sewing, but if your fingers were the needles and tree roots the thread. But it can be killer on my wrist." She smiled as she reached the edge of the brick wall where Marco realized the vines on the wall weren't meant to climb but merely a guiding line as they rose from the ground effortlessly.
She leaned on Marco as the motion jarred her. "You had this power and you didn't use it against us-yoi?" He asked as they could now see the ray of decaying trees just in time for the search light to pass over. He then looked and smiled to himself as he saw his ship in the distance.
"You didn't think you were the only ones just toying around did you?" She asked before turning towards the glass window and pulling it open. Marco held her carefully so she didn't fall off.
What Domino didn't tell him was there was no way she could have done something this elaborate on the ship due to the sole fact that the sea lacks a lot of lose dirt for her to use.
Marco watched as she jumped seamlessly through the window and motioned for him to follow. "Really? And here I thought you ran away because you were scared-yoi." He teased as he sat on the window seal before dropping down to her floor.
He watched as Domino quickly removed her shoes and began to stripe before tossing him a side glance. "Please like I said it was a tactical retreat to spare you." She spoke her alluring voice feeling Marco with that undeniable heat again as her clothing dropped to the floor. And she turned facing him.
"So now, should discuss your terms of surrender?" She cooed before Marco scoffed moving towards her "You'll be the one surrendering tonight-yoi." He stated before they collided once again.
Their bodies began to rise and fall throughout the night blending in to a seamless motion of just them. To say they were lost in each other was an understatement at best however as the night began to end Domino couldn't help but let the breathless moments take over as Marco laid on top of her moving his body to hers.
"Marco.." She moaned only for him to return her sounds with his own "Louder," He asked only to see a defiant glint in her eyes as she moved to cover her mouth before her body arched with euphoria once more.
Marco continued this time his hands found hers and held them above her head. "Don't-yoi." Was all he said as she smiled more biting down on her lips to keep from making a sound. She knew if she did she would lose and it would be him losing not her.
He pushed harder watching as her body moved with his. His arms holding her down as he did so. "That's how you want to play-yoi?" He growled before thrusting harder and moving down to bite roughly on her neck sending her body squirming beneath his. He had to give her credit she was doing very well but he was growing impatient. So he continued each thrust faster then the last.
He could feel her body tense and watched as her chest would bend forwards as she tried not to make a single sound but finally he heard it. A small moan escape her lips enough to send his head whirling. He watched as she couldn't stay still beneath him, a sign he was winning.
"Ahh, You...your unfair." She moaned again trying to move to kiss him before he held her down. A pleasured smile on his face. "Should we discuss your surrender-yoi?" He asked her before thrusting harder causing her to take in sharp breaths.
"No damn.., Marco." She moaned again this time trying to pull against him when he held her down moving his mouth around her body with a confident smirk. He could take his time and enjoy every last bit of her body.
"Come on, your so close-yoi." He whispered against her skin.
As much as he wanted to he felt himself beginning to lose his composure. He couldn't hold himself back much longer. Which was even more reason for him to take in every last second he had. He held her there as he continued now swirling his tongue around her nipple before she finally pulled away and tapped on his back wrapping her legs around him and holding him as tightly to her body as possible.
"I surrender."
She yelled before both of them collapsed in instant release. They laid their panting for a second as Domino looked at him wide eyed "You were that close?" She gasped before throwing herself down against the pillows and sighing moving for two towels beside her bed and slapped Marco with one.
He laughed "I almost said it first-yoi." He stated looking at a distraught Domino before she covered her face with her arm. "Damn, Damn. Redo." She stated bouncing up to Marcos surprise.
He blinked and threw out his hands "Damn woman give me a second-yoi." He called before he caught himself. Did he just ask for a break? Did...did he just lose?
Domino licked her lips and then turned to him. "I'm sorry did the big tough pirate just say he couldn't handle another round?" She asked her smile growing.
Marco covered his face groaning. He'd lost but in his defense he was spent. "Yes, after 8 rounds, I am done-yoi." He stated hiding his face so he didn't have to see a smiling triumphant Domino. "Yes but out of those 8 I have only won 4, which means we need a tie breaker." She stated nodding.
Marco gave her a side glance "What I need is shower and some sleep, or do you marines not know what that is-yoi?" He asked her. All playfulness aside he was getting worried. He didn't know how else he could tell aside from the bags under eyes but she wasn't sleeping. And if he remembered the last time they were together she didn't sleep at all then. But in her defense he didn't as well. He turned gingerly and looked at Domino who sat up and nodded.
"Yeah they sleep." She stated looking back at him with a half glance. He leaned over her moving to wrap his arms around her exposed back.
"But you don't-yoi?" He asked her concerned. She scoffed and pulled away from him before walking over to a dresser that stood across from the bed. "I do, here and there." She mumbled before pulling out a pink floral night gown and some marine clothes.
"Not all together-yoi?" He asked her sitting up and watching as she placed the clothes neatly in a pile and shook her head walking back towards him. "No, not all together. The base is low on water so we'll have to share the shower that alright?" She asked him before he nodded and moved to stand up. He may be a pirate but he hated to be dirty longer then he needed to.
He followed as she lead him to a small door next to the drawer and quickly turned on the light. He took a second to look at himself in the mirror and see the marks she left on him with a smile. "That's not good for your health-yoi." He commented and then turned his head as she bent over to turn on the water.
She scoffed before standing straight the mark on her back flexing as she twisted her wrists. "Neither was this but that didn't stop them." She stated before she stopped and looked back at Marco who watched her with caring eyes.
"Sorry that was out of line. I know it's not good for my health, but I can't sleep all at once." She shook her head and turned around testing the water before wiggling her hand. "Still to cold." She mumbled Marco nodded "I understand. Sometimes it's hard to sleep on the ship but there's one thing that helps me-yoi." He stated before moving to hold Domino who gaze at him with wonder.
"Well?" She asked him. "Imagining you're with someone-yoi." He whispered feeling her body lean back against his closing her eyes before the feel of steam pulled them apart. She smiled and motioned for him to enter. "Winners first." She bowed. He gave a light nod and stepped in only to feel his power drained. "Sea water?" He asked her confused as he held out her hand for her to enter. She nodded leaning into him as she blinked growing tired. "Told you the water's busted that's why I need you, help me stay up." She teased leaning against him her power draining as the water washed over their bodies.
Marco shook his head. He was strong enough to withstand the stinging of the water however Domino was nearly slumped over. He let out a small laugh looking at her tired face. "How are you still standing?" She hummed slowly turning around to feel the water splash on her and drain her as it fell. Marco shrugged and wrapped his arms around her causing her to squeak as the water ran down their arms.
"I'm stronger-yoi." He whispered kissing her neck. Quickly she turned around and replaced her neck with a long white bottle. Marco smiled before pulling back. "You said no more." She hummed as Marco pulled away feeling his body draining. "I did. I did-yoi." He stated holding out the bottle and placing it back before he saw her smirk and mentally stop himself.
He fell for it. He just lost. Damn this woman. Domino looked back at his face running the water through her hair arching her chest towards him. "You lost." She cheerfully stated before turning back around. Marco tilted his head before leaning forward past her and turned the water to a sharp cold. Before jumping out of the shower dripping and laughing as Domino screamed.
"You brute!" As she tried to turn off the water but didn't have the strength so instead jumped out her hands covering her exposed body, as if he hadn't of already seen every inch of her tan smooth skin.
Marco laughed as he looked at Domino who leaned to turn the shower off before turning away to face him. "Don't laugh that was cold!" She stated trying not to see the smile that made his eyes light up.
She looked away quickly before she smiled to herself and then began to giggle as well.
Marco shrugged "Never trust a pirate-yoi." He teased her before reaching out for the towel she handed him trying to hide her smile with her hand over her face. "Especially a broken one." She stated before passing by him. She stopped and watched herself in the mirror her body changing and going ridged as she stared at her own body.
Marco watched as the pain that flashed before her face hurt him too. It was in that moment that her eyes met his through the mirror and she flashed a small smile before putting her head down and walking out the door. Marco furrowed his eyebrows before he shook his head. This wasn't his time to sit around and be someone he couldn't be for her. So instead he chose to hide the pain he felt knowing that this would have to end.
"What do you mean broken-yoi?" He asked as he watched Domino throw on her night gown and smiled at how childish she looked in pink flowers. Domino rolled her eyes before launching his boxers towards him at lightning speeds.
Marco caught them and the hint that came with it. "You are! Your devil fruit, not only do you get to heal yourself but you can heal others? That so is not fair!" She called at him leaning against her desk and watched as he walked over to the bed and threw himself on it a confident smile on his face as he laid there legs crossed.
"It does come in handy, I especially enjoy the look on peoples face when they realize that it'll take a lot more then some over grown weeds to take me down-yoi." He stated looking up at Domino who held an offended look on her face before approaching him.
"Who's the sadistic one now phoenix?" She asked him moving over to her bed and shaking her head looking at how comfortable made him. "Still you-yoi." He stated before propping himself up motioning for her to lay down.
She gave him wide eyes, the nerve of this guy he was on her bed in her room on her base and here he is acting as if he owned the place. But she sighed and moved to lay down moving so she grumbled as she laid on top of him her arm draped over his chest.
"I don't deny that accusation, however I don't like it." She mumbled moving her head to nuzzled her head on his shoulder. Marco shrugged only noticing now that has hand had absently went to her back and was running his fingers through her wet hair. The smell of sea salt of was thick in the air but It reminded him of the sea, so he allowed it to take him away to a sense of comfort.
"But it's the truth, why would I lie-yoi?" He asked her with a mock tone craning his neck to look down at her peaceful smile. She gave a light scoff with her eyes closed. "Oh please, save me that Marco. We've more then passed that." She yawned before looking at him with sleepy eyes to see his relaxed eyes looking back at her. She smiled "Don't look so surprised. We're both lying to ourselves. It's just a matter of believes who the longest." She hummed as Marco rolled his eyes.
He knew this to be true. They were both lying to themselves to think that something this euphoric could last.
It wasn't hard to realize but still he tried to push it away because for some reason in the moments he had with her the world was stopped in its very tracks. Nothing else mattered. Maybe that's why he sought her? Either way thinking about it only brought him down so he didn't instead he chuckled to himself.
Domino lifted her head. How dare he move while she was almost asleep. Did he know that he was very comfortable? He must of seen her glance before he removed his hand from her back and put it under his head. She didn't notice till after he pulled away but her back was suddenly colder then before.
"What's so funny?" She asked him her face twisting with curiosity and anger. "You think we're the same-yoi?" He asked her and looked down at her sleepy eyes.
"No." She smiled trying hard not to fall for his failed attempt at a goad. He nodded "Good, keep that in mind-yoi." He stated his voice still playful but his tone had a dark feel to it.
Domino rolled her eyes and turned away from him. It was his turn to feel the warmth of her body leave his. "Act all smug birdy boy, but I think you realized it by now. What we're doing. Its more then fun." She nuzzled her head in to the pillow. "But neither of us will cross the lines we've drawn so lets keep dancing a bit longer hmm?" She hummed.
Marco shrugged and stretched himself a bit more almost pushing Domino off the small bed. "Maybe-yoi." He stated then laughed to himself getting her attention once more. This time she growled her annoyance and turned around moving to straddle him to his surprise.
"For someone who's concerned about my sleep you sure are keep me from getting it." She stated harshly her body leaning over his. Marco held up his arms a triumphant smirk across his face. Before Domino groaned and held her head down dropping back to the side. "Damn it, I lost." She groaned covering her face. Marco nodded and patted her head "It's okay Marine, you tried that counts-yoi." He teased her before wrapping his arms around her and turning so he could be as close to her as possible.
"I'll get you back one day." She mumbled pulling his arm under her head and wrapping her arms around it. "This is mine now, you can have it back later." She mumbled in to his skin. Marco let out a smile and whispered in her ear "You can have all of me if you like-yoi." He pulled his head back as he heard a soft yawn.
"Maybe." She whispered before it went quiet. He let himself smile thinking of a great retort when he leaned over and noticed that she was knocked out. A small smile on her face as she slept. Marco sighed and put his head next to hers.
Domino felt as Marco laid his head down and couldn't help but smile to herself. He didn't know it yet but she had won! She tricked him more then he had tricked her.
After all that's what this was. Just tricks.
