"WATCH OUT!"

The lightning flashed in a blink of an eye as the main sail cracks, eyes widen getting blinded as smoke fiercely engulfs the air.

Coughing as other holds one up, the ship breaking, water raising.

"ABANDONED SHIP!"

Hearing screams and yelling, as loud thunders awoke with flashes, "I can't breath..."
Hitting the side of the ship, "We can't stay here anymore the ship is going down!"
Barely able to keep up with all the voices and sounds of one another.

Darkness takes hold...

"THOMA!"

•••

Quickly widens eyes open, breathing heavy, staring up at a ceiling.
Sitting up to feel something wet hit his lap, looking down to see a wet rag, "What?" he mumbled.
Gazing off the rag, he looks around the surrounding area, "Where-" he suddenly hears a door creek open.
He looks over to where the door is, he hears a sweet feminism voice.

"You're awake!"

He watches as she walks towards him, looking at her attire he seem to not recognize, "Um...miss?" he says.
"Yes?" he hears in response seeing her turn to him, "May I ask who are you and where am I?" he asks the young lady.
She blinks and giggles a little.

So formal, it's cute!

"Sorry for laughing, but my name is Kamisato Ayaka and your in my humble estate of Inazuma!" she says while her eyes a close and after a gentle smile forms.

A tad shocked, he soon smiles back before speaking, "It's alright and it's a pleasure to met you, Miss Ayaka!"

She blinks still smiling, he looks at her with a tad of confusion before realizing, "Oh! My apologies, I didn't tell you mine, I'm Thoma!" he says with an awkwardly smile, he could hear giggling which didn't help much with the awkward tension in the room at least that's what he felt.

(A/N: I'll be using their names because they now know each other!)

Ayaka stops giggling, gazing over to see Thoma blushing in embarrassment, she smiles.
"How are you feeling?" Ayaka asks, gently taking the rag off Thoma's lap.

It's warm?

Thoma looks down at his arms and chest, realization hits him that he's shirtless, blushing he grabs the blanket and covers more of himself which caught Ayaka off guard, "Eh!? Um what are you doing, Thoma?" she says, tilting her head slightly.

Thoma winces a tad embarrassed, "I'm sorry Miss Ayaka! It just that I'm like half naked..." Thoma exclaimed.
Ayaka blinks, "Is he embarrassed that I saw his upper body?"

Thoma moves up and sat up still holding onto the blanket, "Now that I think about it, how did I even get here? I can't remember anything beside me being on a ship?"

Ayaka watches as Thoma is lost in his thoughts, "I might know what you're thinking, how did I end up laying in my estate? Yes?" she stated.

Shocked, Thoma stares at her with wide eyes, "How did she-"

"I found you laying nearly dead on the shores of the Inazuma's beach, not far of a shipwreck..." she exclaimed.

Thoma eyes soften and gazed to the side, "So you saved me?" he says in a collected voice, to that Ayaka nods.

Thoma lays his arms down in a calming matter he smiles, shutting his eyes.

"Thank you, I'm truly indebted to you-"

Before he could continue Ayaka cuts him off, "I only found you! The one who helped truly save you is my elder brother..."

"...Kamisato Ayato..."

The guard helps hold Thoma up as Ayaka have been having troubles...

•••

Hearing footsteps, Ayaka quickly rushed to the sound, "Big brother!" she shouts getting the attention of a older but not to old man with long light blue hair, styled to the side.

"What's the matter?" he asks, holding his sister gently as he watches her catch her breath from rushing back to Kamisato Estate.

"We need to help him..." she says, panting.

"Help who?" he asks, but before he gotten an answer he sees the guard come in holding Thoma on his back...

"Quickly take him to a bed! I'll arrange a healer immediately!" he ordered to which the guard obeyed.

Turning to his sister he gives her a gentle smile...

"Don't worry sister, I don't let this poor man die on my watch..."

•••

Thoma looks over in shock of what he heard, Ayaka nods and moves away, "You should give him your thanks!" she says turning her head to the side looking over at Thoma from the corner of her eyes with a smile.

Thoma calms down and smiles back, "Of course, I do own him my life after all..."
