Orange's eyes flutter open. She woke up to painful aching sensations, along with a powerful migraine.
Ack.. What happened last night? Huh? Orange uncovered herself, revealing bandages wrapped quite crudely around her legs. Confused and curious, Orange gently unwrapped a bandage to reveal..
..a massive bite mark. This-- Is not what I expected. Orange gulped, re-wrapping the bandage and sitting there idly, thinking. "..Why can't I remember anything?" Orange muttered to herself, sighing briefly. However, her thinking was interrupted when the door to her room creaked open.
"..Ah, you're awake. Good morning, love."
Love? Eh?- Oh wait.. WAIT- Orange's thoughts finally clicked together. she facepalmed and flopped back onto the bed, wincing on impact. ..Of course. Now I remember. Instead of becoming the alien's lunch, I'm now their plaything! Yay..!
"Is something bothering you?"
Orange turned her head, seeing Black crouched down, looking at her with curious, yet ominous eyes. She scooted away slightly, feeling an overwhelming sensation to run, but her aching body grounded her to the bed. "..No?-" She managed, her head pounding even more. She sighed shakily, tossing the blanket over her head.
"Something is obviously wrong. Tell me." Black's tone was no longer gentle, revolting back to its cold, commanding state. Orange flinched, peeking her head out from under the blanket. "I-I'm fine, really, I-It's truly nothing..!-"
Before Orange could finish up her lie, the blanket is swiped off of her from above, and she is scooped up, into Black's arms. "Eek-" Orange felt Black's hand gently press onto her forehead, and heard a drained, yet annoyed huff.
"You have a migraine, love. You could've told me." Black growled in an annoyed tone, looking at Orange sternly. "..How'd you know?" Orange managed to squeak, fidgeting with her fingers, like a nervous child would.
"I could feel it. It's a natural sense, if you will." Black grumbled, looking back at the door. He sighed, looking back down at Orange. "I could take you to medbay, love. I don't like seeing you in obvious pain."
What? Is this man for real? "Uh.." Orange stammered, faltering with her words. Is he actually caring for me? Of all people, ME? "..Sure?-" Orange said, her voice full of hesitancy.
Black smiled. It was rather a.. strange smile, but a smile. He turned, still carrying Orange in his arms, and swiftly made his way out of her room, towards medbay. God he moves so fast- Orange thought, placing a hand on her forehead. Her head continued to pound, but rather more intensely than before. "..Could you slow down? It hurts even more-"
Black paused, looking down at Orange. "It hurts whenever I move too fast?" Orange nodded, finally feeling herself trust Black, just a tiny bit more.. Man.. Pink told me this man was rutheless, and yet, here he is, carin' about me.. Huh. Black slowed his pace, and Orange's migraine began to pound less.
When they arrived in medbay, Black gently sat Orange down on one of the beds, opening up a cabinet, searching for some pain relief. After searching for five or so minutes, Black grew frustrated, not being able to find the pain relief. "Where is it?" They snarled, pushing bottles of pills out of the cabinet, the bottles landing with clattering thuds.
Orange couldn't help but giggle. This was rather.. A funny, and entertaining moment for her. Black shot them a dangerous glare, but instantly looked away, their face pinked slightly. "..Did I do something wrong?" Orange asked, wincing and grabbing their head, still keeping her friendly attitude. After getting no reply from Black, Orange stood up.
Her legs wobbled as she stumbled about, slowly but surely making her way over to the cabinet. She reached inside, and gently pushed a bottle aside, feeling her fingers wrap around a rather wide, bulky bottle. She pulled it out, staggering back. Quickly stabilizing herself, she examined the bottle.
"You forgot to look behind the blue bottle, whatever it is." Orange said, popping the bottle open and putting a pill into her mouth. She fumbled, trying to find something to stabilize herself, and failed. Orange yelped, heading straight for the floor.
When Orange finally opened her eyes, she looked up to see Black staring at her, long and hard. "You almost face-planted, love." Orange felt herself blushing a bit, seeing as he was so close. Black grinned, a deep, rather pleased growl escaping them. "Am I too close for you, darling?~"
Shit, shit, shit, this is what you get for not listening to Pink-
Before Orange could finish her thought, Black pulled her into a passionate kiss. As much as Orange wanted to resist, she couldn't. God damnit Orange, you've earned this. This is what you get for not listening to Pink! You get a love-sick alien!
After Black pulled away, he lifted her up, helping her stand properly. "Is that pill still in your mouth, or did I make you swallow?" He cooed in a rather flirtatious tone. Orange looked away, her face a bright red. "..it's gone."
Black, without warning, scooped Orange up in his arms. "Good.. Because I want more..~"
Shit- Now I remember what fully happened last night-
..It's gonna be a wild ride, isn't it?
