Should everything fall apart (Nimona x Male OC)

Chapter 11 - Cat and Mouse

"Alright so...we just need to get the squire and question him, there's no need to make a scene-" Ballister is immediately cut off by Nimona as a cat chasing a rat

"....will you be quiet?!" He demanded frustrated

"Groans, counter point, your plan sucks and it's boring" She said while picking the rat again and lifting it above her mouth "where's the drama, the screams of terror!, we're villains, embrace it!" Before she could say anything else I jumped on her in the form of a cat aswell, pinning her down against the garbage can

"Y'know we're supposed to clean his name hun~" I said in a teasing tone, blushing slightly

"Wh-wha-? Who are you calling "hun" you little-" She said while laughing and pushing me away as we both chased each other, Ballister tried to hush us both desperately

"We're doing things my way this time, no one gets hurt" Ballister clarified firmly

"Aww but I wanted to get to the hurting people part" She said with a tone of disappointment, pushing my face away with her paws

I laughed "Sometimes plans come in handy, let's just find the squire and question him"

"Then hurt him" She added

"No then find proof!" I said in a correcting tone

We both kept on bickering like two morons about what to do

Groans "can we just get to the market please?" Ballister said while pulling his face down

"Roger that" Nimona replied transforming back into her human form and growing wings

"The next flight comes in 3-"

"Wait what?" I questioned

"2" "1-"

"Wha-?! Nonono!" Ballister quickly covered her from a civilian passing by while I held her from the waist

"You can't be seen with that!" Ballister demanded

"But this is quality side-kicking stuff! She reassured

Meanwhile I was beyond flustered because I held her waist without thinking, covering my face in embarrassment

Then suddenly a loud alarm sounded and the voice of a woman could be heard in the televisor above

Director: "Attention to all citizens, due to the horrible attack the institute suffered the previous day we are taking precautions to guarantee your safety, don't panic as this is just a test, just go one with your normal lives-"

"Oh a don't panic alarm, effective" Nimona said sarcastically

"You guys.....really wrecked havoc huh?" I said looking up at the monitor

"What?! No! I did not want to destroy half the damn institute!, she did!" Ballister corrected

"Wha!? How dare you Larry! I'm your sidekick you can't just expose me like that" She said in an offended tone

"....And may Gloreth guide you always"

When i heard that name my eyes widened in anger "Gloreth huh?....yeah let her guide and see where that's gonna get you"

The walls started to crack slightly and the floor was vibrating, both Nimona and Ballister looked at me concerned

"Oh...erm....s-sorry.....I just don't like Gloreth that much"

"Why is that? She's one of the reasons we train hard to protect this city"

"What do you even need protection from?" I questioned him

"Don't you get it?, the second we let our guard down something terrible comes over that wall!" Ballister exclaimed

"Have you ever been outside that wall at least?" Nimona questioned

"Uh yeah 'cause I have a death wish! No! Of course not!" He replied

Ethan: "How do you even know there's something dangerous outside?"

Ballister just stared at both of us "erm....well"

"Ugh....forget it" I sighed and looked at Nimona, she also looked at me, both of us with a nochalant expression, knowing perfectly there's nothing outside....we both got in easily in the first place

"Well this crowded with guards, we're going underground-, and no wings" Ballister said immediately stopping Nimona who was already offering to fly with them again

"You're gonna want 'em later" She reassured

The three of us used the stairs and Nimona spotted two wanted posters of herself and Ballister

"Oh look we're famous!"

"You've got to be kidding me" He said lowering his head

"Ah I love us" She said while staring at the picture in awe

"Egh what a shame I'm not there.....I think we both go well together eh?" I said to Nimona in a slightly flirty tone

"E-eh? W-well....yeah" She said, a little flustered

I giggled quietly, for someone so chaotic she sure got flustered easily

We noticed the guards required to see our faces at the end of the stairs

"Oh shoot, now what?" I asked

"Hehehe....who has four thumbs and is great at distractions?"

Both me and Ballister stared in disgust as Nimona waved her little extra thumbs at us

"Did you really practice how to screw human anatomy....just for that?" I asked her

"Of course" She replied confidently

"Pff-" I laughed a little....she's perfect...the way she is....

"Sigh...okay fine you can distract them
But dial it down or do something more discreet like-"

"Aaand she gone" he sighed

"Zero hesitation haha!" I chuckled

Suddenly evil laughter could be heard in the distance, revealing to be Nimona disguised as Ballister, kicking trash cans and easily fending off guards

"MUAHAHA, I'm ballister boldheart! I hate smiles! Not so much as I hate myself, can someone give me a hug? She said, clearly teasing him as I looked at him with a smug face

"I hope you guys like freestyle jazz!" Disguised Nimona said while running with a saxophone upstairs, then returning as a pink rat

"Our chariot awaits!" She said as I applauded her

"Marvellous! What a performance!" Bravo" I said teasingly as she bowed down in a playful manner

"Hey you never said you could turn into me!" Ballister exclaimed

"Oh by the way I can turn into you" She said, provoking him

"Well for the record that's nothing like me!"

"Yeah you're right you're never that much fun"

Meanwhile....a certain blonde knight was analyzing the camera footage with a squad of knights, after a discussion they departed to confront us at the destination
