Lately things Have been pretty odd Sense Kadoc had rejoined our side. When ever he saw me he would greet me and for some reason when ever any of the Nemos were around. They would quickly try to get between us. It was like they were trying to keep us apart as much as they could. Even if we're just greeting each other. That's it.
All the Nemos had been extra friendly toward me lately too. I mean they were always friendly to start with. But this just felt a bit different. Did something change I didn't know about? I felt confused and lost by what was happening here. It didn't feel like much changed, but something clearly did.

"Master~" I felt one of the Marine's grabbed my arms as I was walking down the hallway. "Oh, hi there." I smiled and patted him on the head. He hugged onto my arm. He smiled looking up at me, "Master Master I got a question. Please answer it alright?" The Marines didn't ask me questions that much, so I was a bit surprised to hear that. "Oh, sure what's your question." I smiled at him. "Master I was wondering if Captain ever told you..." He started to say as I heard a yell at the beginning of the hallway. I blinked as I looked up to see Captain standing there. Nemo? he quickly ran up to us and pulled marine off my arm. "uhhh...I was looking for him. e-excuse us Master!" He yelled running off with the marine in arm. I just stood there watching them run off. huh? what was that all about?

"What the hell are you doing!" I yelled pulling on the marine's nose. "Captain ahh that hurts!" I glared at him. "Good maybe you will learn a lesson!" I was so annoyed. He just try to tell master that I. ahhh no! if I hasn't showed up when I did he would have! "But Captain we told you! if you didn't we would!" Wait...Wait he said We? I let out a yell. "Please don't tell me all of you guys are going to..." he nodded to me. "Of course! we are tired of waiting for you to tell Master!" Shit shit shit! they were taking matters into their own hands. "No! I'm not...!"

"We don't care if you aren't ready!" Marine plainly told me. "Do you know how much you are thinking about Master lately?" he frowned. "Captain you never showed up to the Meeting last night!" uhh I forgot about it. "When you got back with master you didn't leave her side for day and half!" he pouted. "We know you love master. But if things keep going on like this. This will not help any of us!" he wasn't wrong. But...I still wasn't ready. "So, we are taking matters into our own hands today!" Wh-What?

I found myself running around the ship all day stopping each Nemo from trying to tell her. Why did she feel the need to check in on all the Nemos today?! I found master's in engineering next where Engineer was talking to her, and I quickly broke them up as fast as I could. "Captain? what are you doing...?" She asked as I pulled her to the other side of Engineering leaving master looking dumbfounded. "Knock it off!" She laughed at me, "well this suck. Captain got to me before I could let master know." She smirked at me, "Again...I will say it. Knock it off! This isn't funny!" I was getting annoyed I couldn't just let this keep going as it was. "You are right it isn't funny, Captain." Engineer Glared at me. "Perhaps someone should tell Master than we wouldn't have to go through this." Ugh. I just felt like I had been stabbed. "But that someone more worried about how she will react."

"But..."

"If you keep doubting yourself you will just keep making trouble for all of us."

She wasn't wrong.

"Don't forget you got a Rival now too."

She pointed at me. "I mean come on Captain! It's time for you to man up!" She wasn't wrong. I was in a bad spot. "I mean at least it only one other person and not many like the other Master. You got it pretty easy." She also wasn't wrong about that. The Other Master was Super Popular. "I mean you clearly got a head start. You have been around Master longer! So, it should be easy!" Wait...that was true. I have been with her for a bit now. I did know many things about her. I think I knew all her likes and dislikes by now. I'm sure she knew mine as well. Maybe I was thinking too much about this. Maybe I was overreacting of how she would feel once I told her. "Shut up." I told her as I quickly turned on the way to leave. "You clearly talk too much but..." She was right. "You aren't wrong." She wished me luck as I left. I started my search for her again. But this time was a bit different. I found her in the Mess Hall talking to Baker. She was showing her some chocolate she just had made. "Is it hard to shape it as you want?" She smiled, "Not once you get used to it. You have to shape it before it hardens."

"So, it is hard at first then?" Sometimes Master did make sweet for us but most of the time it was just cookies. She did hang out with baker when she was making them. "Master..." I whispered to her. I was dead set on it now. She quickly turned around and looked at me, "Oh hello Nemo. We sure are running into each other a lot today." Yeah...funny how that works huh? was all I could think about. "Oh, hello Captain. I was just about to Show master. The Chocolate I just finished with." She said holding up a big heart chocolate.

AHH

"Wow...it's so big. wouldn't that be easy to break if you aren't careful?" She smirked at me. It was telling me if you don't i will shorty. Did she write something on the other side? I felt really nervous looking at her. "True if you aren't careful. But this size you can even write something on it. ~" I gave her a look that said Don't you Dare. She smiled in return as the answer back. "Oh? that isn't hard to do?"

"Not at all. Would you like to see what I wrote on it?"

ahhh!

I quickly grabbed onto master's hand, "M-Master could you come with me please? I have to talk to you about something. Right now." I gave baker a look. "Ready? Now? But I want to see what she wrote on it." NO! "Aww Captain I really want to show Master what I wrote it on. I think She would like it." Like hell she would! "Please." I begged her. She could only give me a confused look. "Fine. you don't ask this kind of of stuff very much." I pulled Master out of the Mess Hall with me. "Well, that's no fun. I really wanted her to see the I love you side." Baker said to herself with a smile across her face.

I could hear myself screaming inside my head. That was too close. If we left any sooner She would have showed her. Ahh! "Nemo? What is this all about?" I frowned not answering Master as I pulled on her hand leading her away from the mess hall. I couldn't let this go on any longer. Because if I did...one of the Nemo Series would tell her. I have to man up and tell her. I led her back to her room and the door slowly closed behind us. "Nemo...?" She asked. My face was beet red I could feel it. I led her over to her bed and sat her down. She could only look confused at me. "Is something wrong?" She asked as I took my hat off and looked at her. "Sara...I'm sorry. Forgive me." I whispered to her as I placed my hat on her head using it to cover her eyes. "Eh? what are you doing?"

"This..." I whispered to her as I lightly planted a kiss on her lips. I'm sure she was shocked but I couldn't stop now. I couldn't. It was too late. Will you understand this action? Will you get my meaning from this?

I love you.
