Drabble for savyangel94

Bit long for a drabble, but hey ho, I like to use the term loosely.

Enjoy, savyangel94.

It was no news to Nathan that you'd been practising your combat technique.

He'd noticed that your hands no longer trembled when The Sirius was boarded and that you weren't as nervous around the cutlass he'd given you for protection as you used to be.  For the most part he was very proud of you - the fierce look you got in your eyes and the challenging smirk that drew across your lips when faced with an opponent lit a fire inside him - but a small, dark part of him couldn't help but notice that your eyes no longer immediately sought him out whenever you were in danger, that you didn't instinctively reach for him whenever he was close, and that tiny part of him couldn't help but feel... insignificant.

It was a stormy night when The Sirius was last boarded. The raging wind and rain coupled with the fierce rocking of the waters made it almost impossible for Eduardo to navigate away from the approaching vessel, so Captain Morgan decided it more prudent to prepare for combat. Nathan was last out on deck, and his stomach dropped when he couldn't see you through the clashing of blades and bodies.

He fought his way to the helm and let out a breath he didn't know he was holding when he saw you, still very much alive, but trapped between a grisly looking raider and being thrown overboard. As he opened his mouth to distract your foe, he found his jaw dropping for a completely different reason as you kicked the enemy raider's legs out from under him and then sharply knocked him on the head with the pommel of your cutlass. Giving Nathan a quick wink and a smile, you hopped over the now unconscious raider and rushed to aid your fellow pirates, leaving him dumbfounded... and slightly aroused.

So, watching you now, he can't say he's all that surprised that you were receiving training from Russel. As you and Russel traded playful blows on the deck while Thomas watched with rapt interest, Nathan couldn't help the tiny smile that spread across his face.  Your movements were solid and fluid, your stance was good, you were certainly giving Russel a run for his money.

"I think that's enough for now Russel, I'm beat," you panted lightly, wiping the sweat from your brow as you rested your hands on your knees.

Russel gave a light scoff, but the lazy wave of his hand in dismissal and huff of his shoulders told you he was just as winded as you were. As you dondered over to a nearby barrel and hoisted yourself up to sit on it, you noticed Nathan standing in the doorway to the quarters and beckoned him over with a grin.

"So, this is where you've been getting your training, eh." Nathan's voice was as even-toned as ever as he walked towards you, but you saw that glint in his eyes that told you he wasn't happy. You frowned a bit before grabbing his hands as soon he was close enough, trying to make eye-contact but finding Nathan staring intensely at your hands, his fingers drifting over what were the starting of callouses.

"I just... I didn't want to be a burden any more." you hefted a sigh, giving up trying to look at him and instead taking your hands back from his and examining your cutlass. "You gave me this, ya know... Why are you mad that I'm actually using it?".

"M'not... I just... Miss saving you."

You could barely him as he mumbled, but the slight blush on his cheeks and his sudden interest in his boots told you that you'd heard him correctly. You managed to hold in the giggle bubbling in your throat, but not the grin that threatened to take over your whole face, this insecure side of him was very endearing. You pushed him back slightly, hopping off the barrel and pulling him into a tight hug.

"Just because I'm learning to fight," you started as you grabbed his chin with one hand, making sure he was looking at you, "Does not mean that I don't need you. Without you, I doubt I'd have the strength."

Nathan didn't say anything, only tightening his grasp on you and pulling your head to his lie against his chest.

"Besides, I'm still a rookie. Russel almost took my finger off not ten minutes ago!" You felt him stiffen in your grasp, "Joking! I'm joking!" Nathan shook his head in disbelief, reaching down to place a gentle kiss on your forehead as he heard you mumble, "...sort of."

"You'll be the death of me, Savannah."

His tone was light as he let out a chuckle, and you knew that all was well.  A coy smile pulled at your lips, "You love it, really.".

"Aye." Was all he said to that.  "Although... You have very pretty fingers... I'd feel better if you trained with me from now on."  His hands moved down from your waist, lightly skimming past your hips before resting on your ass, giving it a light squeeze.

You hummed lightly, pulling his face down for a kiss.  "I bet you would... but I can think of better things to do with you right now.".

Aaaaand I'm back!

*insert 'Surprise Bitch' gif*

I see I've gained a few followers in my very long absence!  Welcome!  I promise to never disappear for this long without word ever again.

To all of you that have stuck with me, thank you so much.  It's nice to see I haven't been abandoned.

Long story short, I have been in the hospital for pretty much the whole duration I've been gone.  I don't really want to go into too many details because it was not a pleasant time for me.  Suffice it to say that it was touch and go for a while, things didn't look good for me, but I have made a (pretty much) full recovery and am looking forward to brighter days ahead.

I'm so so so SO sorry for just disappearing off the edge of the universe (especially those waiting for the give-away, yikes) but I didn't really have the opportunity to get on here, simply because I was not well enough and wanted to spend my time with friends and family.

Don't worry, I shouldn't be seeing the inside of a hospital for a while.  Well, not from a bed anyway.

I have SO MUCH to catch up on!  It was lovely coming back to so many new fics and headcanons drawthecurtainstarttheplay!  Your writing always cheers me up.

AND I have started writing again, so expect a post in the next few minutes savyangel94 ;)

Good health and happiness to you all, lovelies.

[otomefever]

You are such a sweetheart.  Thank you.  I hope it's worth your excitement :)

Don't worry.

Don't worry.  I have not forgotten about the giveaway.

I'm going to start writing tomorrow, so savyangel94 can look forward to her 'drabble' being published within the next few days ;)

Because I didn't have much time to make sure that the giveaway post didn't get buried (exams are a major leech on time), and because most of you picked things that I am more familiar with, I think I'll be able to make the 'drabbles' a bit longer.

I'll try to get them done as quickly as I can, but please be patient with me.  I just want to make sure that I'm giving you all the best I can possibly give :)

And then the sneezing starts.

you know you’ve played too many voltage games when you can’t count the number of times anymore when voltage has the “oh no! it started raining out of nowhere” kind of scene. 

[otomefever]

You do stand a chance, Kenta. What you don't have is a bloody route in English. Yes, I am still bitter about it. And where the hell did that hat come from?! Seriously, it appears for no reason and nobody mentions anything.

These guys, I swear... Ryu, you will be the death of me.

Alba balked visibly at his words, glancing back to Katsuragi for confirmation before fixing her gaze on Sora. "I... What... I don't understand how this could happen." Her voice shook, brow pulled down into a heavy frown as she could feel her hands start to tremble in Sora's grip. "Please, tell me you're joking."

3. The world is going to end in three days

"What!?" You heard Sora shout in the bodyguard room. "Only 3 days? Why didn’t we know sooner!? What about our client?"

"I don’t know, Sora, but she’s your responsibility, you have to tell her." Chief said calmly.

[otomefever]

Alba eyed everyone in the room warily, expecting them to start teasing her for being so gullible. Her eyes widened slightly when she noticed the expression on Sora's face, he looked... too serious, it worried her. She took a slight step towards him, "Sora... What's going on?". She couldn't keep the concern out of her voice, she knew Sora was a brilliant actor but this was too much.

"I don’t know, Sora, but she’s your responsibility, you have to tell her." Chief said calmly.

[otomefever]

Alba raised an eyebrow, before entering the room and closing the door behind her. " The world is... Has Mizuki been making his special herbal tea, again? ", her voice was full of disbelief. The fact that Katsuragi hadn't told Sora off for being ridiculous made her seriously doubt the sanity of everyone in the room.

[otomefever]

@hirosuesora Alba slowed her pace as she heard shouting, and eventually came to a stop before the door to the bodyguard room. By this point the voices had quieted and she could only hear the muffled tones of what sounded like Mr Katsuragi. Not wanting to be caught eavesdropping, she hesitantly brought her fist to the door before knocking twice, opening the door slightly and peeking inside. "Excuse me... I don't mean to interrupt. Is everything alright?"

[otomefever]

I have found my weakness... Man tears. Especially when they belong to cocky gits like Ichy. I'm not crying, goddamnit, I just have sand in my eyes.

[otomefever]

Okay, I take back everything I said about not being interested in DDiWT. These guys are too precious.

[otomefever]

Kenta Makabe, everyone. He’s a bonus *winks*

[otomefever]

Aah— Have we ever talked about how adorable Sora’s smile is?! Look at that cutie~ He blushes as he laughs, how is that not adorable?! It’s no wonder he was one of my first Voltage guys! I can’t explain it, I just love him so much!
