Chapter four: Kowalski's Confusion

(Kowalski's POV)

Rune came wearing dog collars one day. It was weird on how such a little change made her look so different. She looked more dangerous...more mysterious...more sexy......? Did I really just think that?!

Skipper gave us all a break that day, saying that it wouldn't be fair being so ahead of the rookie. Of course, we were all happy. Each of us went on with our own business. Rune, on the other hand, had "borrowed" a movie from Alice's office. I was amazed and kept wondering how she managed to get past everyone and not been seen since she had a inured leg. As Rune poped in the movie and I sat next to her to watch also. After awhile, Private got bored and left, but I stayed and got sucked into the movie.

I've must have been deeply sucked into the movie to not notice Rune! She was fast asleep, cuddling close to my chest. I blushed and got a bit nervous. "R-Rune? Rune, wake up," I shuddered.

Rune's eyes slowly opened. Without moving, she asked; "Is the movie over?"

"Yes, it is..."

"...Oh...You don't want me sleeping on you, don't you?"

I looked down and saw her huge deep blue eyes sparkling. I smiled a bit. "...No, it's quite alright..."

Rune seemed to smile, but now that she had been woken, she needed to move around, which, of course, made me blush even more.

Suddenly, Rune pressed up against me roughly, making me lie on the floor. She snuggled up to me and wrapped her tail around my waist.

I nervously looked around HQ. It looked as if everyone else was too busy to notice us. I sighed and let myself drowse off.

As I did, I began to question my feelings for Rune. Were we really just friends? I dout it. Every time she got close to me, I become nervous and don't know what to say... It reminded me of how I use to act around Doris-Wait, what!? But that would mean I did have feelings for Rune, but not friendship feelings, "feeling feelings" ...No... T-That can't be right. I'm just confused. Yeah, that's it! I'm confused! I couldn't possibly love that lemur! I mean, come on! She's a member of our team!...Still...

I jolted up from my dreaming when I heard a noise.

"Eeeeeeeeep!"

It was Rune! She was pressed against me, sat up and wrapping her arms around herself.

"Rune?!" Private and Skipper echoed.

"S-Sorry...it...was just a bad dream...you can all go to sleep," she said. It amazed me how she said it so calmly.

"What was the dream about?" Skipper asked.

Rune jolted over to him and whispered something in Skipper's ear cannal. Her eyes were wide with horror and soon, Skipper's eyes were too.

"That won't ever happen," Skipper reassured her in a flat tome.

Rune's tail twitched. "I really hope so...I couldn't handle loosing someone else who's close to me again," I heard her say.

So she had a nightmare of someone close to her dying? Poor thing.

Skipper whispered something to her and she nodded and she whispered and he shook his head and whispered something else.

I wished I could hear what was being said...

After awhile, Rune seemed to have completely calmed down. She ran over to my side and hugged me tight.

I blushed. "Er...? R-Rune?"

Rune replied by snuggling close to me and saying; "'Night, Kowalski."

"Ah...goodnight...?"

And she fell asleep on me once again.

Again, my emotions were all screwed up. Do I love Rune? I just didn't know! Arg! This bites! Hey, wait...something just occurred to me! The way Rune's been acting... does she love me?
