I immediately smiled «What is it about?»

◡☾︎𖦹☽︎◡

I woke up slowly hearing several people talking, I had no memory of how I fell asleep or how I was in my room.

I stood motionless until I was connected with reality again, as soon as I did I started to feel something next to me, I turned around and saw Graves next to me who was sleeping.

Why was he in my room?

I sat on the bed without taking my eyes off him, I reached out my hand towards his head as much as I was hesitating but in the end I stroked it slowly while a small smile appeared on my face.

I saw him slowly open his eyes, he looked at me confused, but he didn't move when he realized that I was caressing him.

«How..did I end up here?» I asked in a low tone voice.

«I was walking past Soap's room and I saw you asleep on his bed, he told me you weren't well at the time, so I asked him if I could take care of you since he was busy. Then I took you to your room..that's all I think»

«Thank you» I said simply laying down next to him.

I saw him approach me and wrap his arms around my waist placing his head on my chest.

«What time is it?» He asked sleepily.

«I don't know, I woke up just some minutes before you»

Hearing my words he took out the phone he had in his pocket and checked the time.

«It's 6:10» he said, putting the phone back where he'd gotten it from.

«What time do we have to leave?»

«Only the captain knows that»

«That means he'll come to my room to wake me up and he will find you here»

«Any problems with that?»

«N-no, but maybe he..»

I heard him sigh before seeing him get out of bed, I felt strange as soon as he pulled away from me.

«Shit I was about to forget..» He murmured running his hand over his face.

I saw him move away from the bed approaching the desk, not understanding what he wanted to do, I sat on the bed looking at him doubtfully.
He grabbed something and approached me, in his hands he had the collar he always wore, my gaze became more perplexed.

I saw him reach out to me as an invitation to take it, I looked at his hand and then at his face for explanations, but he said nothing.
Reluctantly I took it and looked at it still not understanding why he had given it to me.

«But you..» I began to speak looking into his eyes, but it seemed that he already understood what I meant.

«I am aware of what I told you, you can keep it until then»

«You make me worry so Graves.»

I saw him smile in amusement, but I didn't understand what he found funny.

«Take it as a gift» he said before ruffling my hair and walking out of the room.
I looked back at the collar, it seemed strange that he had given it to me so easily.

What did it mean?

(sorry for the length, the next one will be much longer)
