The Dove Bounty (BoyxBoy)

Round 1: Goldfish

WARNING: Drug-use and light smut!

I could feel my blood boil beneath my skin, fueled with rage, and it was all directed at him. The damn Tech of the ship. He was supposed to be one of the top Techs in the galaxy. You'd think he'd be a professional; you'd think he wouldn't dick around fixing things on a fucking spaceship. Well, you'd think wrong. The shit I ask him to fix, "Always seems to FUCKING FAIL!" I let the words fly from my mouth without hesitation.

I know it would've been better to keep it to myself – keep my cool around the rest of the crew. They didn't seem to think it out of the ordinary, seeing as this was something that happened often these days... Me getting mad at Strauss and fuming up and down the hallways cursing up a storm.

I just couldn't take it anymore. I am a nice, easy going guy – or I would like to think that I am – but with him...

"Fucking Strauss," I muttered under my breath this time. I had become so weary of his games. Even with my photographic memory, it was too tiresome to remember and navigate without the Nav system to help me along.

It didn't help that the Captain was breathing down my neck for proper routes, schedules and all that fun stuff. It was more work than it needed to be mapping out and putting all the cords in by hand and remembering everything. "Aaaaaaaah," I pulled at my face dramatically and continued on the well known route to Strauss's room.

I could feel the adrenaline of rage slow as I stepped down to the lower floor, my hand dragged along the metal wall. "What can I even say to make him smarten up?" I thought out loud. "He's a stubborn, no-good, dirty feline. He should just follow a ball of yarn down a deep, deep hole!" Stopping in front of one of the few windows on the ship, I placed my forehead on the cool glass.

"He never fixes anything properly, no matter how many times I tell the Captain to get rid of him. He likes to play more than work... I bet I could do a better job." I complained while absently tracing a circle around one of the stars from the Tagal-May system.

"What am I supposed to doooo?" I once again went all dramatic and slammed my opened palmed hands against the windows and pulled down slowly. I gave a small chuckle to my theatrics.

"Do something nice for me and I'll fix whatever you like. Just like new," a smug voice cooed.

I spun around only to see the dirty feline himself; like a switch the rage came back. My eyes fumed at Strauss and it wasn't lost on him.

"Are you telling me you want me to suck your fucking dick to get shit done around here?" I was nearly screaming at the top of my voice to him, my hands balled at my side.

"Hey, I wouldn't deny it, and it would give me some much needed motivation." Strauss was smiling wide, but it soon faded seeing I was not he held his hands up in surrender, "Look, I heard Dove. I'm sorry the Cap's givin' you grief over the Nav being down. I already had a chat with him... and it's fixed, permanently." He gave a smug toothy grin, "I swear, you won't hear anymore about the Nav being down." He dropped his hands and moved his messy black hair from his smoke covered face.

With that being said I could feel some of the rage come to a simmer. Strauss set his orange cat eyes on me – he looked dangerous. It never helped when we were alone because the air sang a buzz that started a warmth throughout my body. It always got my nerves going.

"For the hundredth time, stop calling me Dove." I crossed my arms at him, the atmosphere was making it hard to think straight. "So does this mean that I won't have to call on you every other damn day to fix the fucking thing?"

It had been a few months since Strauss had started doing this to me and it got progressively worse since. He would make perverted advances with me too, which made me learn to keep my guard up around him – or try to. Being in charge of Communications and Navigations, I was used to staying aboard and rarely came into contact with hostiles. Not that I couldn't handle myself... something about being around Strauss just made my mind numb.
