The Odd Ones (Jim x reader)

Chapter 14

SILVER'S POV:

Jimbo and (y/n) continued to talk until (y/n) stared at her empty cup. "What's wrong?" Jim asked.

"I swear I had some water in here." She raised an eyebrow, her eyes changing into purple.

The cup suddenly turned into a pink giggly blob. "Morph!" Jim exclaimed, laughing with him.

I went over, pouring her another cup with water. "MORPHIE MAH BOY! Come to papa."

Morph heard my voice and spun around quickly. He gasped his tiny gasp, and flew over to me, rubbing into my cheek.

"But I thought....Morph was Jim's?"

"Oh, he was Silver's first. Then just before I went home from the Treasure Planet journey, he gave Morph to me." Jimbo said as he smiled. "He's kept an eye on me and has been my best friend ever since." I smiled at that.

Morph morphed into a small version of Amelia and repeated what she said earlier. (Y/n) was giggling, but I picked him up and shushed him. "It's not nice to repeat people Morph."

Jim sighed. "Sorry about that. He copies other people sometimes."

(Y/n) laughed and kissed Morph's head. "Don't worry, he made me smile." Her eyes were back to her normal green.

Morphie turned red with heart eyes. (Y/n) giggled. Jim covered his blush while watching them goof off.

Jim stood up and stretched his arms as soon as he saw my eyes watching his movements. "Hey (y/n), why don't you climb to the crow's nest and I'll meet you there? I gotta grab a couple things."

(Y/n) smiled brightly, her eyes LIME green, and ran up the stairs excitedly.

Jim watched her leave, watching her locks fall behind her. He let out a soft sigh.

I laughed. "You are definitely fallin'. No doubt about it, Jimbo."

He quickly turned around, surprised. "What? Pfft- no way! I'm only being nice to her."

"You've been blushin' since she got down here. And not to mention the conversations about her-"

"Alright alright, maybe I do...but you CAN'T tell her, and definitely NOT Amelia. She'll kill me in my sleep."

I placed my robotic hand against my heart. "On pirate's honor, Jimbo."

"Good, now I have to go. I don't want (y/n) to be waiting on me. Morph, are you coming?"

Morphie squealed in excitement and flew out of the kitchen. "I guess that answers that question." He sighed then waved goodbye to me.

I smiled then turned to cut some veggies.

After a while, I got done making lunch and dinner for the next day. I put it in the deep freezer then walked up the stairs to see lots of stars in the sky. I couldn't see Jimbo or (y/n) standing up in the crow's nest.

Hmmm.. I got curious.

I carefully climbed up, then when I reached to the top, I looked inside.

(Y/n) and Jimbo were snuggling each other, with Jim's constellation book in (y/n)'s lap. Jim had his arm around her waist, as she used his lap as a pillow.

I smiled and climbed down quietly.

They're all right. It's a hot enough night to not have a blanket, and both of them have been working a lot today. No wonder they're already asleep. I knew he likes her, but wow, how did he already have her asleep against him?? Silver, calm down, you're just being protective. She doesn't need to know just yet anyways. I'll wait until she has questions about me. Yeah I'll do that.

I looked up to see Amelia standing on the edge of the ship with Delbert. I couldn't see Sarah. I hid behind a beam, not meaning to listen to their conversation.

"Sarah...I need advice."

"What is it Delbert?"

Oh she was there, I didn't see her.

"It's about (y/n)...and Silver. I-I'm not talking down about them, but just worried."

"Dear, sit down before you get stressed." Amelia said.

I heard him sit down and sigh. "Thank you, sweetheart. Anyways, about (y/n). You know she's different..right?"

"Everyone is-"

"No, like she was born with powers."

Sarah gasped. "You mean...there's more? More than just ice, fire, and the flowers she grows in her hair?"

Delbert don't. You'll create panic. Don't do it. I know exactly what he's talking about. I should!

"Well...I don't know if she has any more, but, yes, she can create fire and ice with her bare hands. Her eyes change colors too, but her eyes have a normal green color when her emotions aren't taking over her."

I cursed under my breath. Damn you Doppler. (Y/n) should be telling Sarah about this when she's ready to tell people. Not saying it out loud while she's asleep.

"If she's struggling with this, we'll be there to help her. What does Silver have to do with this?"

There was a long pause. A very long one.

"Delbert...?"

"Silver is...her real father...She doesn't know, though. Don't tell her just yet. I know she's 18, but I need to find a good time to tell her."

"Who's her mother?"

"Her name was Faith."

"Was?"

"She died in the fire that wiped out (y/n)'s village when (y/n) was a baby."

"Oh..is that the reason he has-"

I left to go back to the kitchen. I couldn't listen to any more, it was making me upset. I stomped my way down the stairs then sat down at a table. I opened a locket that was around my neck and sadly sighed.

"I miss you Faith. I wish you could see how much (y/n) has grown. She really looks like you. This will be hard for me, going back home, but at least I get to visit you again."

I kissed the locket and closed it, putting it back in my shirt. Morph appeared out of nowhere and nuzzled into my cheek. "Hello there Morphie."

Morphie looked at me sadly and cooed. I held him close to my cheek. "I'm okay, I just wish they didn't talk about those things. And whatever you do, DON'T tell (y/n) anything, and don't repeat what Doppler said."

Morph nodded, zipping his lips. "Are you going to sleep with me or Jimbo? It's time for bed for you."

The pink blob yawned and pointed up, to the crow's nest. I stood up and grabbed his little blanket and pillow from the cabinet. He held it close to him and kissed my cheek goodnight, then left to go sleep with Jimbo. I smiled and went in the resting arrangements to lay down.

I stared at the full moon in the window for a long minute. "I love you Faith, always will. I'll see you soon. I'll protect my daughter during this trip. There are some things that she won't understand, but I'll be there for her, just like how you were there for me. Goodnight, my love."

And with that, I turned off my lantern and tossed over, my back turned towards the window, and went to sleep for the night.
