A Rose Between the Thorns

Chapter 14

My attention returned to the third eye just as the Captains did. "Oh, second course yummy." Vetto remarked staring at the Captains. "Shame on you getting greedy. It's not polite to hog all the interesting battles for yourself you know. I've got to wonder how's it going to feel to tare them apart?" Captain Jack wondered preparing his blades. 

Why did I have to get stuck standing just behind him, deciding it was in my best interest I instead moved to stand in front of Yami but behind Nozel and Charlotte. "Probably not very satisfying, like tearing up a piece of paper. I was just about to finish them off when you morons decided to show up." Captain Jack started laughing and I had to agree, that wasn't the best way of putting it Yami.

"Kkk, yeah sure you were. Looking more ragged than usual over there." Yami puffed, disagreeing with the other Captains statement. "Me, please." Yep I definitely made the safest choice as Jack set his blades at Yami's throat. "Kkk, how about I work out some of my anger issues by cutting you into tiny pieces."

Yami wasn't fazed in the slightest by this though and just continued to annoy Jack further. "And there it is you're nuts. My sincerist apologies forgive me." Why does he have to act so calm, it isn't helping. "Kkk, scared now. I wasn't really going to do it, I'd much rather wait till your back in fighting shape before our next little skirmish. There isn't any point if it's not a challenge."

My head immediately turned to Charlotte as she spoke addressing Yami, knowing this is were the good stuff is. "Must we always come to get you out of trouble, you can't even stand up you miserable man." I could tell that Charlotte was trying hard not to stare at Yami, keeping her head and eye's cast down to avoid him. 

"Ah, it's not like that. The ground just love my ass so much it just doesn't want to ever let me go." Very poetic Yami, I though sarcastically. "Don't be an idiot. The ground has no love for an unwashed mistreat like yourself." Charlotte retorted annoyed by his words.

"Ooh, burn. That's some mouth you got on yah, not gonna be easy to find yourself a husband huh." That's not a way to speak to women Yami, how dense are you? Charlotte's vines were quick to wrap around Yami's neck in a warning. "I don't need any man to marry me, the battle field is my partner." Charlotte burst out saying.

Yami's expression changed from unfazed to mock annoyance. "I get that you're a warrior woman and all, but even for you that's pretty sad." Immediately Charlotte turned her head and hid her face, though not to well, because I was able to see how her cheeks flushed and her lips shivered as her eyes closed. And so the Charmy ship has begun, I thought excitedly squealing in my mind.

Nozel was the one to bring me out of my fangirling, as he brought the situation back to it's more serious tone, no fun. "So the Eye of the Midnight Sun, it's leader and it's top bras. The highest ranking members of the organisation that attacked our kingdom." His stare turned to a full on glare when he spoke his next words. "I'll bury you with my own hands."

"Oh Nozel you are so cool." Yami just had to tease even though Nozel was aching for a fight, I wouldn't put it past him to start the fight with Yami first. "Just stay out of trouble foreigner." Obviously Yami didn't take a thing he just said seriously and I couldn't thank him more, sometimes Nozel's seriousness can be a bit too much.

"Your concern for my wellbeing is truly touching, oh great and mighty Captain." Yami's gaze then turned from Nozel to me as I was stood in front of him and then his focussed turned to the four of us Black Bulls. "Hey, how do you guy's think he get's his hair to do that braid thing?" I knew this wasn't the time for jokes, but this was too much fun.

Asta started us off with his theory. "He's Royal so I figure he has a servant take care of it for him, don't yah think?" Next it was Finral's turn. "Honestly, I wouldn't be surprised if he has his own personal hair stylist." Yami chuckled at the thought and I joined in, not being able to hold it with how seriously they were taking the conversation. "I think that would qualify as the worst job ever." Even with knowing how Nozel truly was I still had to agree, I defiantly wouldn't do it.
