Blue Demon and His Princess {bl}

Part 7: Kraken

Morning came quickly, the sun shone through the window of the captain's room. Sunlight hit Asari's face, slowly waking him from his sleep.

Asari: *dazed. It's warm . . . *opens his eyes. ?

Asari stiffened, he found himself sleeping close against Seika's chest, using his arm as a pillow.

Asari: *blush. Right, I was so tired I fell asleep instantly. . .

He looks up at Seika's sleeping face. From so close he was able to observe Seika better.

Asari: . . . He's even more handsome up close. . . *notices the earrings. They're beautiful, I wonder if they were a gift . . .

Seika opens his eyes, Asari felt a shiver as the beautiful green with gold looked straight at him.

Seika: *smiles. Morning~ Were you going to attack me?

Asari: !! *frowns in embarrassment. No I wasn't.

Seika: Bummer~

Asari: We should get up. . .

Seika: *pouts. Buu~ Morning doesn't start until I get a kiss from you!

Asari: *blush, hesitated for a bit. . . . *kisses Seika gently.

Seika: *chuckles. You really like kisses don't you?

Asari: *blush. I-it's because . . You make it f-feel good . . .

Seika: . . . . . *pause. . . Damn. *happy. Ok, let's go. *lifts Asari up.

Asari: Wah~! Ahaha~

The two changed then stepped outside.

Seika: We're departing in a few hours, get everything ready!

The two walk across the deck, as they pass by the crew greets their captain.

Denis: Good morning Captain.

Seika: Good morning~

Genji: Morning Cap!

Gray: *still sleeping. . . .

Ichida: . . . . *nods.

Tabata: Morning Captain.

Seika: Morning, how's the ship today?

Tabata: It's fine but I'm gonna need more parts.

Seika: Alright.

The two continue to walk.

Everyone: 1 . . 2 . . 3 . . . Good Morning Asari-san~!!!

Asari: *surprised, smiles. Good morning!

Everyone: *happy. An angel . . . .

Seika: *grins.

Asari: Um, Seika?

Seika: Yes?

Asari: Can I do something to help? *hopeful.

Seika: *grins. . . . Actually. . .

Seika lead Asari to a room located a floor below. The room was beautiful and looked cozy with its shiny wooden floors and soft sofa next to the window. There were lots of bookshelves filling the walls, an elegant desk and chairs, and a large window to let the light in.

Asari: It's lovely.

Seika: *hands Asari a key. It is, and know it's yours.

Asari: Eh? I can't-

Seika: *stops him. This room is very special, I was actually looking to hire someone to work here full-time.

Asari: I don't know if I'm capable . . .

Seika: Don't be modest, you're more than capable. I know you're very intelligent. I don't want anyone else in this room but you.

Asari: *touched.

Seika: Plus, we could use this as our private hideout and mess around.

Asari: *blush. Seika!

Seika: I'm kidding. Kind of. But you'll take it right? *puppy eyes.

Asari: Cute. . . Alright. But what is my job anyway?

Seika: *grins. That is. . . All the information here can be used for many things to our advantage, to takeover thrones, countries, maybe even the world, if, we utilize it the right way.

Asari: I see, so I'm a strategist.

Seika: Gray comes over sometimes to deliver new information. Everything here . . . *bows. Is at your disposal.

Asari: *giggles then hesitant. Are you ok with leaving such important information to a stranger?

Seika: *smiles gently. You're no stranger to me. . .

Asari: *startled, slightly blushing.

Seika: Besides, I know you like reading about the world. *wink.

Asari: *smiles. Thank you.

Seika leaves the room, Asari looks around once again and feel a sort of thrill. He never felt like this back at home.

Asari: Home. . . . I wonder if they have information about the clan-

There's a sudden crashing sound.

Asari: *quickly runs out. What happened?

The moment Asari steps outside he sees a boulder flying towards him. At the last second, he's snatched up by Seika.

Seika: You ok?

Asari: *nods. Yes. That surprised me. *he hears a loud screech and sees a monster.

A gigantic octopus lay in front of the ship, it had a massive red body with long eight tentacles. It wrapped itself around the ship, trying to crush it through force. At the same time, attacking the crew with its other tentacles.

Asari: *amazed. A kraken?

Seika: Yup, it's not that uncommon in these areas. Most ships steer away but we can handle it.

Denis: Captain! Can you quickly get rid of this?! It's about to break the bow. Hogai-san!

Hogai: *holding a first aid kit. I'm comin'~ Don't rush an old man~

Seika: *puts Asari down, gives him a quick kiss. Wait for me here.

Asari: Be careful.

Seika begins to run, he jumps, ricocheting off the mast to the top pedestal, from there he unsheathed his sword then jumps again, bearing his swords at the kraken. He slashes at inhumane speed, unseeable to the naked eye then lands perfectly back onto the ship's floor. The beast freezes for a second then blood explodes from its body as it comes apart. The large tentacles fall on the ship, still moving about.

Everyone: *cheers.

Asari: *impressed.

Genji: Aw yeah~ Grilled kraken!!

Everyone: *boos.

Seika came back holding a large moving tentacle. He yelled out as the tentacle wrapped itself around his body. Asari watched in amusement as he watched the crew gather around their captain. Seika noticed and turned to Asari. He raised the tentacle high in the air, said some words then laughed out loud.

That was when Asari thought, "I really love this man".

Part 7.5
What he had said. . .

Seika: *cuts the kraken into pieces. Genji's definitely going to grill it. . . Woah!

The moving tentacle wrapped itself around his body. From afar he felt a gaze. He turned and saw Asari.

Seika: *silly grin, lifts the tentacle high in the air. Asari~ I'm a sucker for you~!! *laughs at his own joke.

Seika saw Asari crack a wide smile and laugh.
