Come back, come back to Me 8
Author Note: Reviews are needed :D
Ahim woke up in a warm chest.
It was firm and broad, and the heartbeat was steady and slumber pace. She was laying on denim, and she could fell the long hair around her face that wasn't her own.
"Joe-san…" she murmured, clutching at his blue jean jacket cloth and sniffing, "I…"
"Ahim-sama," he touched her shoulder slowly, cautiously. If he wanted Luka, he could be himself and relax and flirt like a devil.
He didn't want to break the small princess, but he did want her.
"Joe-san…you need not constrain yourself," she kept her eyes on his, "I do want you as well."
He leaned down and kissed her lips, "Let's wait a while, ne?"
She kissed back…she was more forceful than he'd thought, "Hai."
Marvelous wanted her too.
But in the meantime, he'd have to see Joe get her.
Torture.
He strode quietly down the street. He wasn't so stupid as to run away. But right now was a good time to take a walk.
A long walk.
He didn't know where he could go to heal his heart. Well, he didn't know anywhere else.
"Well…" he strode into the bar, "type to go get drunk as hell."
Her parents would have wanted her to marry a prince charming. Somebody to sweep her off her feet and love her right. To bring strong, yet soft hands and caring eyes. To be just as pure-souled as she and a protecter.
Well, he wasn't pure-souled. He had an adorable shyness of her, and his eyes were worried for her safety. His hands were tough, and he was a two-sword fighter. Maybe he wasn't a prince charming.
But she still loved him.
And yet, at the same time, she had a strong emotional pull towards the man even further from being a prince anything. His hands were daring and curious, and his eyes were firy black ambers. He was a protecter and a flirt, and he was always smirking about something. He had enough confidence for a million princes and the first mate.
She was a princess, and he was a bit of a player.
But even the player knew better than to play the princess.
He couldn't do that not only because he loved her, but also because she had her prince to keep her safe.
In the captain's opinion, it felt great when you got so drunk you forget your own name and did things you would never do. But when you woke up, hangovers weren't so great.
"Ugh..." he winced as he rubbed the back of his head, groaning loudly a protest to the headache, "Hakasae!"
As expected, he'd waken up on the Galleon. Luka, Gai, and Don had probably fetched him somewhere around the time he passed out. The blonde just nodded, already used to the drill when his captain got booze happy.
"So...what was it for this time?" Gokai Yellow inquired, plopping down on a chair and looking at her captain.
"What do you think?" it was obvious by now what was going down between Joe, Ahim, and himself to everyone by this point.
"Point taken," she stretched and laid back across two of the chairs, "demo...you're always getting stoned."
"Yeah, yeah," he snorted shortly and leaned back. He did have his reasons for the things he did.
Luka got that. After all, he wasn't the only heavy drinker on the ship when things got rough...
Or when a heart got broken.
"Ahim-sama..." the first mate looked eyes with her, "nani do you want for me? What can I bring to you that you want from Marvelous?"
"Nothing," she shook her head, "I mean...it is just..." It just felt too awkward to try and explain her loving towards both.
Joe was her prince charming. Everyone knew that, and that included her.
Marvelous just needed to find a place in her heart.
