Fated Arrival?

Vitality

Treyku dashes home as fast as he can

"Shit, not good." I say to myself as I open the door panting a bit.

"Welcome back." Abisal greets me.

"Heyo." I say setting my sword at the door looking around a bit. "Is Pele here?" 

"She should be in the shower, I cooked some jambalaya so help yourself to it." Abisal waves off as she heads upstairs to bed. 

I head upstairs behind her to our room as I open the door quietly to hear the shower on. I set my stuff down and take off my jacket heading into the shower as Pele jumps a bit. 

"D-damn Treyku." Pele throws her hands up in a startled state rather than her composed stance as I laugh a bit. 

"Mind if I join in?" I ask as I take off my shirt. 

"Course." Pele sighs as she opens the glass door. 

I slide off the rest of my clothes as I lather some of the soap around my hands and begin washing Pele a bit while massaging her shoulders a bit. "Still tense huh?" I joke a bit as she still looks a bit flushed. 

"I was just thinking of some past stuff is all, I heard the door open just...I don't know." Pele punches me lightly as she relaxes a bit. 

"You too huh? Was thinkinking back at school and when I first met you." I say a bit soothingly as  I wash her back as she lets out a sigh. 

"Treyku." Pele says as we both go silent for a bit as the water hitting the ground even goes quiet for what feels like days.  

"Yeah?" I ask as I wash her arms. 

"I'm scared of what is to come." Pele says as I pull her in hugging her. 

"I'd be lying if I said I wasn't too." I mutter caressing her head. 

"I don't know even... Avaloveil has been weary lately and I have been anxious on top of that. I can't stop thinking of bad things....what if Anubis or Suki and Theo turn on us...what if Mother leaves...what if my crew gets hurt....what if I lose you." Pele mutters as I hear a quiver in her voice as I rub her back softly. 

"I don't know what is to come Pele...though us here now...and trusting in one another, is all we have. I won't ever leave you alone and Abisal would never leave you either...I believe in our friends." I say washing behind her ears as I begin to comb her hair in the shower.

"Maybe I am being clingy or letting this get to me." Pele begins to ramble tightening her grip as I wrap my hands around her neck pulling her in a long kiss. "Mm...." Pele relaxes a bit as I pull back. 

"Well let me be clingy then too. It's okay to be like this Pele, I have been doubting as well lately...I want us to...live our life, no one else." I say smiling a bit as Pele's ears wiggle a bit as she pulls me into a deep kiss.

Two minutes pass as she pulls back "You keep doing that and we'll drag this out again." Pele wipes her face as I pant a bit. 

"We already did it this morning and yesterday on top of that...though." I look the other way as Pele does as well. "I mean." 

"No..I already am flustered a bit, tease me again and I'll be the one...never mind." Pele shakes her head as she begins to wash me. 

We exit the shower after a while and head downstairs and eat the jambalaya watching a show on the couch. Pele rests her head in my chest as I wrap a blanket over us looking at her as she drops her empty bowl. "For her to fall asleep this early let alone this...she really must be tired." 

"Glad you caught on." Avaloveil's voice speaks as Pele sits upright. 

"O-oh." I flinch a bit as Avaloveil notions.
