[Chapter 8] First Kiss...oops.

The morning glow of the Hawkins caused Pup to wake up earlier than she wanted. She let out a big yawn and tried to stretch but...couldn't. When her eyes focused fully, she found that she was wrapped tightly in Silver's arms. She struggled and squirmed but failed to get lose. "Silverrrr!," she punched his arm, responding to the punch through sleep made him roll over on top of her, but not before she got to kick him in the stomach, waking him up. "Whuh-" "Can you NOT man handle me like that?!" "Wha?-" "You almost squished me to death!" She pushed his arms away from her and sat up, he sat up too. "Sorry lass, I didn't realize it." The room stayed silent after his apology, but the sound of his laughter broke it. "Killed ya, huh? You think I could?" She scoffed,"yes!" "Oh really? Let me try." He snatched her up in his arms and rolled over on top of her, but not completely. "Silv- Captain! Augh!" She kicked at him while her aggravated speech turned into laugher and giggling when he rubbed his face on hers while teasing her. "You playful little ass-" she laughed out. She went to get up but he pushed her back down but his laughing was halted when their lips touched for a moment. "Ew!" Pup slipped off the bed when Silver sat up. "Hahah..sorry about t'at..." He apologized, rubbing the back of his neck. "That was my firs- you kiss stealer!" She yelled as she slapped him. "You're gross!" She yelled, pinning her ears down. "Naow, see here lass, it was an accident!" She crossed her arms, she knew he was right. "It was only for half a second." He told her. She wiped her mouth. He cleared his throat and desperately thought of how to change the subject," ehehm....so wanna see some parts of the ship ye haven't seen yet?" She perked up her ears and brushed off what had just happened and nodded excitedly.

"This was not what I had in mind." She told silver while they hung on a plank near the bottom of the ship that was covered in barnacles. "Hahah, shoulda t'ought about that when you disobeyed me." He closed his normal eye and nudged her. "Yer lucky I didn't resort to another type of punishment." She looked at him, confused,"now...was that supposed to be..sexual or what?" He lifted his eye brows and shook his head in realization,"OH! Nonono- no lass..hah...I meant throwing ye over board!" She looked at him with wide eyes,"is that supposed to make me feel better or something?" She said sarcastically. "Heh. Jus' get ta work lass." He tossed her a scrape. "But how do I...?" "Lass don't tell me ya never screped barnicles of e ship before?!" She shook her head,"augh. Well.. This is how he do it..." He took the scrape from her,"see ya get it wedged under 'ere...," he continued to give her an example. "Okay, okay." She grabbed it back from him and started to do it herself. "Wait lass i-," she flipped a big one off the boat causing her to fall backwards off the plank. "AH!-," Silver quickly caught her and dragged her up to the plank or wood. "Don't go and throw yerself over-board!," he had his hands on her shoulders. He looked down at the abyss and back at her,"I'll hold ya." He held onto her waist, but not tightly. "Don't want me only crew fallin' off." Pup nodded and went back to scraping the barnacles off, and every time she got one off she fell back onto Silver.
They must've been there for hours....it was already dusk. Silvers eyes grew heavy, it felt nice to have her so close to him, he didn't know why but it brought him an almost overloading amount of comfort...so comfortable in fact, he almost fell asleep down there on the plank.
Pup turned back to him,"Silver! My arms are tirrredddd!" She whined and rubbed her eyes and wiped off the sweat on her forehead. Silver shot awake from his sleep,"yeah....i think," he took a big yawn," I thinks we should head back up...grab on to that rope and help me pull us up." He grabbed a rope and started pulling it down as she did the same, this caused the plank to start sliding up. Soon, they were back on the main deck. Silver walked in the cabin, took off his coat and tricorn, and pup slipped her jacket off of her. She turned around to see that Silver was fast asleep,"ugh..he didn't even do anything!" She took off her shirt and shorts, then slipped on one of Silver's old shirts. The shirt went down to her knees, almost. She then plopped down on top of Silver's stomach and fell asleep as the ship rocked gently to the wind. Suddenly, she felt something cold on her back that woke her up, it was Silver's arm. She didn't fend it off like she would've done if they were both awake, instead she just accepted it and layed on his chest, gripping onto his shirt lightly. "Goodnight, John...." She said and Silver mumbled through his sleep as if he could hear her from his dream world. The ship fell silent as the moonlight shinned through the window.
