Chapter 4
Waking up to the creaking sound of the boat whooshing back and forth. Rubbing his eyes he was laying on his side facing Ahri. Who was
also facing him. Admiring her beauty, she stirred slightly which moved her slightly closer to Galven. Stunned from how good she looked, he looked at her fox ears which twitched a little as she layed there. Then suddenly her eye lids opened to reveal weary golden eyes staring directly right at him. For around a minute they were just laying there starting into each other's eyes. Both of them blushing, but they couldn't seem to take their eyes off of each other.
"Sorry for staring…" Said Galven looking away twisting on his other side.
Blushing Ahri decided to do something risky that she had never done before. She wrapped her arms around his stomach which was muscled up. Then she rested her on his shoulder.
"Umm Ahri what are you doing?"
"Just trying something" Ahri said with a deep shade of red on her face. When suddenly the whole boat shifted and Galven landed on top of Ahri which made them both blush even more which seemed impossible. Getting off of Ahri Galven quickly grabbed his bag and threw a shirt on. Grabbing his mask he put it on and ran out of the room to see why the boat shifted. Finally reaching the top of the ship, he looked around wondering why the ship shifted so awkwardly when he overheard a Conversation
"...Yeah the boats right engine broke, I believe the hextech core on it malfunctioned." Said a strange looking man who was talking in a group. Deciding to go tell Ahri what happened he turned around and saw Ahri wearing a red sort of dress like the exact same one he saw on the day he met her. Then he realized everyone who was on the front hall of the ship was staring directly at Ahri in aww. Suddenly a little jealous, he walked over to Ahri and explained the whole thing.
"So we only have 1 engine to run on?" Ahri said confused.
"Yeah but I might be able to talk to the captain and see if I can help him with it." Said Galven
who was adjusting his mask.
"I see but how? The engine is in water right?"
"Yeah I know I might have to jump in and work on it."
"Well then let's go see if we can find him" Said Ahri. Looking around for something that could tell them where the captain is. Seeing a semi large group of people complaining at one figure in the middle of them, Galven quickly ran over there and walked in the middle of the crowd. Seeing a tall, muscular man with tan skin and a look on his face that told Galven he was scared of the furious people that were surrounding him.
Everyone who was surrounding him was scream and demanding refunds because of how the trip is going to take longer when Galven broke the chatter by shouting.
"SHUT UP!" Screamed Galven. Listening as the chatter slowly faded away. Turning around the to face the captain he said "I might be able fix that hextech core on your engine, but your gonna have to stop this ship and let me take a look at it."
"Y-yyeah but the hextech core is not under water it's in the engine room." Said the captain still a little startled.
After a couple minutes of just standing there Galven said "well what are you waiting for bring me to the engine room.
"Oh sorry" the captain said. Starting to walk out of the crowd that was surrounding him. Walking out into the opening.
He spotted Ahri and said to her "You coming to the engine room?" Seeing her nod he motioned for her to follow him and the captain. When the captain turned around to see who was coming he was immediately seduced by Ahri's good looks. Ahri noticed this to and didn't think this was a good time for men to be flirting with her.
"Hello good looking" the captain said seductively. Galven didn't seem to notice what he said so she ran up to Galven and gave him a quick kiss on his check which startled him. After the kiss on the cheek Galven looked down at Ahri and saw her blushing pretty hard. Then he did something Ahri would've never imagined him doing , he winked at her with a smile on his face. Then walking away leaving Ahri in aww he followed the captain who looked a little mad from the exchange that Ahri and Galven just had. Finally reaching the bottom of the ship where the engine room was he looked at the captain who threw him a toolkit. Examining the hextech core that seemed to be glinting slightly.
After examining it for a while Galven said "The hextech core's wiring has been messed up, it short circuited the engine. I should be able to rewire it. Then we should be good to go."
"So uh… You don't need me?" Said the captain looking from Ahri to Galven. Watching Galven role his eyes and nod. Then the captain slowly walked away, hearing the creaking of the steps that the captain was stepping on Ahri looked over to Galven who was wiring the Hextech core.
After about 10 minutes of working Ahri said "How did you learn to work with hextech machinery?"
Standing up Galven looked at her with his green eyes and said "Over the years on the run I have just tinkered with it and learned a lot about it."
"Oh I was just curious because before you told me about how you made that mask." Said Ahri
Then suddenly they heard some creaking of the stairs when a woman who had blue eyes, curvy body, medium size chest and a pretty face that had long blond hair on top of her head. She came down with 2 drinks in her hands. "The captain told me to bring you guys some water while you were working down here" she said with her eyes glued on Galven. Clearly astonished by his looks. She quickly walked to Ahri and gave her a glass of water. Then she turned around and faced Galven, walking over to Galven she was swaying her sides to get his attention. "Here is you drink handsome" said the woman batting her eyelashes at him.
Smirking Galven said "hey goodlooking."
Smiling the woman said "The names Carol, you're quite the charmer huh?"
Drinking his water Galven said "I guess so" he said bending down, continuing to work on the core. Handing the glass back to Carol while crouching, Carol quickly grabbed the glass then put her hand on his bicep to feel it which made Ahri furious
"Don't you have somewhere to be?" Ahri said with jealous look on her face.
Carol took her arm off then looked at Ahri and said "Sorry but he is too handsome." Walking over to Ahri she whispered "He isn't yours, I might just have my fun with him tonight." Then she quickly grabbed the glass that Ahri was holding and ran up stairs.
About 5 Minutes later Galven stood up and said "done" then walked over to Ahri who was still a little mad he said "I am going to go tell the captain and then go to the bar." Following Galven up the stairs he turned around halfway up the stairs and said "You know I have been curious if you believe that I am the Gladiator God."
Ahri scanning his green eyes said "I believe you, I have no reason not to."
Smiling Galven turned around and continued to walk up the stairs of the ship. Upon reaching the top he scanned his surrounding seeing the caption talking to someone, then he and Ahri walked over there.
"Ahh is it fixed?" Said the caption looking at Ahri.
"Yes it's fixed you should be able to run the engine now." Said Galven who was looking around for some sort of bar on the ship.
"Thank you so much!" The captain said quickly running to the top of the ship to turn on the engines.
Upon spotting a bar Galven walked over there and sat down. As the waiter walked over he said "What would you like?"
"Surprise me" replied Galven playing with a throwing knife on his belt. When the waiter came back with some thick looking drink Galven quickly downed it and stood up, thinking of what to do he pulled out the room key and headed towards there. When opening the door he laid on the covers and put his hands behind his head just staring at the ceiling wondering where Ahri went. Then he realized he wanted to see how well the engine would work. Standing up from the bed he walked out of the room as he made his way to the front of the hall when he saw a group of people crowded together deciding to see what it was he walked over there to see people fistfighting. Watching as a big man picked up his medium size opponent and dropping him on the ground knocking the medium sized man out cold.
"ARRGGRA" screamed the big man as he raised his hands high up in the air in victory.
"Who wants to take me on now?" The huge man asked the crowd.
With nothing better to do Galven raised his hand and stepped into the middle of the crowd.
"Galven what are you doing!" Screamed a familiar voice behind him Turning around to see Ahri with a look of worry on her face.
"Just wanting a challenge" Galven said putting his mask on his belt and raised his hands in a fighting style.
"Hahaha do you wished to be crushed little man?" The huge man said loudly so the whole crowd could hear. Slowly the big man threw his huge fist at Galven who just simply side stepped the punch. The man's punches were very slow, so Galven could dodge them with ease. Quickly slinging to the side after dodging another punch he kneed the man in the gut which made him bend over. Seeing his opportunity Galven quickly dropped his elbow down on the man's head with full force which knocked out the man cold. Ahri couldn't believe it. It only took Galven one hit to knock the huge man out cold. Rubbing his elbow Galven looked at the astonished crowd. Just shrugging it off he walked through the big crowd meeting Carol at the end of the crowd.
"Nice fight" she said seductively while edging closer to Galven.
"Hmmph" Galven muttered as he made his way back to his room. Which made Carol follow him there. Finding the room he took the key out of his pocket and opened it. Seeing the room he turned around and shut the door before Carol could even step in. After going to the bathroom Galven sat down on one of the chairs, deciding what to do he started sharpening his throwing knife.
5 Minutes after Galven left with Carol Ahri saw Carol walking back with a disappointed look on her face which relieved Ahri but she didn't know exactly why. Do I like him? She thought to herself as she drank some sort of weird drink at the bar. Seeing it was starting to get dark outside she decided to head back to the room and see what Galven was doing. Upon opening the door with her key she walked in to see Galven throwing knife at a target he drew on the wall with a marker or something, she sat down on the bed to watch how well he was doing. Watching as he placed the throwing knife on the tips of his fingers, he would pull his hand slightly back and flick forward when throwing. Usually he hit the bullseye sometimes right by it.
"You wanna try?" Galven said quietly as he looked at her twirling a knife on his fingers.
"I have never even touched a knife before." Ahri said innocently.
Grabbing Ahri's hand he pulled her up from the chair. Smiling while looking at her he placed a throwing knife in her hand correctly on her finger tips then said "When you throw, fling your wrist not your elbow or arm." Ahri did as he commanded and threw it at the target which hit the far outer edges of the target. Seeing how she did Ahri jumped up in the air with glee
"I did it!" She said happily as she watched Galven pull the knife out of the wall.
"Keeping going, you did a lot better than I did on my first try" he said. Putting the knife back Into Ahri's hand he pulled away and said "try again." Throwing the blade this time Ahri made if slightly closer to the middle of the target. After about 20 minutes of practicing Ahri had gotten pretty good at it. She even managed to hit the Bullseye twice. She is pretty good at this Galven admitted. As Ahri threw the blade once more she grabbed it and handed it back to Galven.
"Thanks for teaching me how to use the knife" she said sheepishly.
Looking at her golden eyes Galven said "keep it"
Ahri's eyes widened happily "Thank you!" She said as she hugged him.
Pulling her into a tight embrace he said back quietly "no problem" smiling. Realizing how weird this was he let go of which mad her face flush red. Turning around Galven grabbed his cloak and said "wanna go get something to eat? I'll pay." He said turning around to see Ahri's golden eyes lit up with joy.
"Yes!" She said as she put her throwing knife on the table and ran into the bathroom to get ready. Seeing it was gonna be a while for her to get ready Galven sat down on the bed and thought to himself a little bet God me and Ahri have had such weird encounters that always make her blush. I don't know why but I like her… More than other people I have met. His thoughts were broke as Ahri walked in with a little makeup on this time. "Ready" she said smiling. Standing up Galven and Ahri walked to one of the few restaurants on the ship upon arriving a waiter walked up to them and and said
"Welcome! Is it just you fine couple tonight?"
"Yeah…" Ahri mutters blushing yet again. After the Waiter showed them their table and went to grab something Ahri said "Can you please take your mask off?"
Looking at Ahri Galven pulled off his mask then attached it to his belt. "Why does it matter we are just eating."
"Well I don't like the mask and you look a lot better with it off" she said looking down at the table.
"Sorry about that but I am back what would you like to drink?" Said the waiter out of nowhere.
"I'll have a some Orange Juice " Ahri said looking at her menu.
"Just get me a beer" said Galven who was looking at Ahri admiring her looks.
Once the waiter left Ahri looked at Galvin Sheepishly then said "so… Do you like that Carol woman?"
Looking at Ahri he replied "she is alright, I liked her at first but then she followed me into are room and tried to come inside. Which made me mad because I didn't invite her, it's like she thought she was already invited."
"Here is your drinks" the waiter said as he put them down on the table. "Now what would you like to have for food wise?"
"I'll have a club sandwich" Ahri said.
"Just get me a burger" Galven muttered to the waiter. After about 15 minutes later when the waiter came back he have them there food and told the how much it would cost. After paying and eating they went back to the room deciding to go to bed.
"Sleep on the bed with me again" Ahri said sheepishly.
"Well it is better than the ground… Alright" he said as he took his shirt of and laid down on the bed. Soon after Ahri got on the bed on the other side. Drifting into sleep he couldn't stop thinking about the fox woman right by him.
