Book 5! Reader X Baki Characters ~The Bottle Of Curse~

"I'll help!"

That same night,Guevaru invited you to stay over at his place for the night, and reassured the others that he would explain what exactly happened previously at the beach.

You were expecting him to bring you to his house,but instead,Guevaru brought you to a lighthouse.His, lighthouse!It wasn't far from the dock and on the way he explained that the reason he stayed there was because he was responsible of looking out if any ship came by,incase it came to attack his island.Guevaru is always alert on the top of the lighthouse and looks for intruders.When he wants to sleep,one of his soldiers takes his place.

The others listened in amusement, unlike you as you were slowly drifting off to sleep in Yujiro's arms.The only thing keeping you awake was the coldness of your lower body as you were still wet,you were shivering as the night was a bit cooler than usual.

Once you reached the lighthouse,it was even more massive up close.It was colored in thick red and white straps,and at the top was a balcony with a beacon.With Guevaru leading the way,you climbed the stairs and reached the first floor.

You had never seen a lighthouse upclose,more of go inside it,and to your surprise it was very cozy and tidy.The first floor was both a living room and a small kitchen combined,Guevaru storaged food and supplies there aswell as some stuff he needed while sailing the sea.

The second floor reminded you of your attic,it was filled with maps and decorated with pictures of ships, pictures of previous generations and either story books or books to learn how to navigate the sea.Guevaru had studied these books a thousand times each and still couldn't get enough of them,but the books he liked the most were the pirate books his grandfather had gifted him.However,these books were hidden under his rooms bed for personal reasons,and that was the last floor,on the top of the lighthouse.

After giving you a tour of his lighthouse,Guevaru looked through his clothes and gave you a shirt,his pants were too big for you and his shirt aswell,but the shirt alone was comfortable for you,so you removed the wet shorts and with Yujiro's help put on the shirt tha covered you like a shirt dress.

"I think it would be best if we let Y/n sleep,we have a lot to discuss and she will get a headache", Guevaru said looking at you with pity as your eyes were half closed from exhaustion.

"My room is upstairs,let her rest on my bed", Guevaru said to Yujiro who was still holding you and he nodded before climbing up the stairs to the upper floor.

Once Yujiro reached the last floor,he could hear the seas waves coming from outside,the cool breeze blowing in the room through the balcony and the nightly air filling the atmosphere.

On one side of the room was a simple bed and on the other a desk with maps,a light up lantern and several stacked books.

Yujiro layed you on the bed and took a last glance at you before walking out to the balcony to light up a cigarette.You layed there half conscious and was about to close your eyes to sleep when you smelt the cigarette burning and coughed,then managed to stand up in annoyance and walked out to the balcony.

"Why do you have to smoke so late",you stood next to Yujiro as he stared at the sea in the distance and he raised an eyebrow on how you were still awake.

"Is there a time limit on when I can light up a cigarette?",he looked away and puffed out more smoke in a lazy manner and you coughed again trying to get rid of the smoke with your hand.Yujiro looked at you again and after seeing how much the cigarette was affecting you,he finally put it out.

"Go sleep,it's late.I can't stay here all night,I want to go downstairs and hear what the others will discuss about".

"No one is forcing you to stay.Besides,I'm not in the mood to sleep.I want to stay awake",you looked away from him and watched the sea and the night sky with the sparkling stars reflecting on it.
