The Hunter

Electricity

Leezzz goooo

Y/N's POV:

I stir awake in the housing unit provided by Ragnis. It's not much, a simple plain bed, a window and a door. Nothing more, nothing less.

I look around the room trying to figure out what time it is. On the floor is a plate of food. Right there was a feast thrown to celebrate the unity of Spartans, Knights and Víkingur. All that remains is the Bushi.

By the empty plate of food is my armor. I don't even remember taking it off. I must've been tired as hell.

I'm pulled from my thoughts at the sound of a knock at the door.

Jess' POV:

I stand outside his door. The noise of the feast still rages on. These people don't know when enough is enough I suppose.

Y/N: Who is it?

Jess: It's me. Can I come in?

There's a pause before I hear the sound of metal being moved around. Come to think of it, his voice didn't have that regular modulated sound to it.

Could he be out of armor? If he's out of armor does that mean?

The door opens and in the dim light of his window I can see his silhouette. I look down at the ground slightly embarrassed.

Y/N: What do you need?

I start to look up slowly. In the nights dim light I can make out his body. His muscles seemingly pull me into a trance.

I keep going until I come to the head. But as my luck would have it, he put his helmet on. Nothing but a helmet and probably underwear.

Crap I'm staring. I can't stop staring at him.

Y/N: You going to answer?

Jess: R-right!

I feel my face heat up.

Jess: I uhh...can't sleep. They're too noisy and I feel uncomfortable...do you mind if I uhh...

I try to take a breath to calm myself down.

Jess: IfISleepWithYou?!

The words come out faster than I intended.

Y/N's POV:

I retain a straight face behind my helmet and look down at her. I'm used to her occasionally insinuating something along those lines when we were just starting out.

Y/N: Fine.

Jess: R-really?

Y/N: Yes. I can tell they were staring earlier.

Jess: Y-yeah they totally were.

I step to the side and she enters. I just close the door and walk over to the bed before laying down. Jess stands with her back against the door.

Y/N: You coming?

Jess: O-of course.

She hurriedly walks over to the bed before laying down. I scoot back and press myself against the wall of the room.

Jess: Your going to sleep with it on?

Y/N: Wasn't the plan. But yes.

She pauses before turning herself to look at me.

Jess: Your never going to let me see are you?

Y/N: No one can.

Jess:...even Helena?

Y/N: Shes seen.

Jess: O-oh...I see.

Y/N: Years ago before we were given our armor.

Jess: So she hasn't seen your face since you put on the helmet?

Y/N: No.

I watch as she moves her hands slowly to the curves of my helmet. My hands shoot out and grab her wrists.

Y/N: What're you doing.

Jess: I...I have a request to make of you Spartan.

I remain silent and stare at her from behind the visor.

Jess: If I cant see you...

Her hands lower and I let go of her wrists. She then traces the bottom of my helmet.

Jess: Can I feel you?

I ponder the request carefully. After some deliberation I decide that I trust her enough not to do anything to betray me.

Y/N: Okay.

I watch as her hands slide under my helmet. And then the sparks fly.

I feel every hair on my body raise up as the electricity of her touch shoots down my body.

I've been punched, grabbed and touched before. But all with malicious intent.

But this is different. Her hands are warm and soft. No presence of malice. Just a warm tingling feeling.

I feel her hands trace the line of my jaw before brushing over my lips. I feel a slight tap on my nose.

Jess: Huh, so you do only have one nose.

Y/N: Yes.

She pulls her hands away and I find myself yearning to feel her again. I need to feel her again.

Jess: Thank you, thats all I needed.

She turns her back to me and I begin to feel cold. Why am I so damn cold? It's Jess, she's so damn warm.

My body moves on its own. I wrap my arms around her waist and pull her against me. She yelps in surprise.

Jess: W-what're you doing?

Y/N: I'm cold.

Jess: O-oh...okay.

She snuggles herself against me. I feel the electricity again. I can't get enough of this feeling.

Jess: Your as warm as I always imagined.

Y/N: I'm not Diego.

Jess: I never let him touch me...I smacked him a few times when you were gone.

Y/N: I see.

I feel her hands trace my arms. Every vein and groove of my muscles.

Jess: I always thought you were built. I mean I've seen you take on private militaries, bounty hunters and many other things that would've dropped anyone.

Y/N: I was just better trained.

Jess: Understatement.

She lets out a sigh before I feel her relax against me. I feel my eyes grow heavy and finally I drift off to sleep.

It's the next day and I'm onboard the Redemption is we're heard towards the islands that house the Bushi.

Helena: We should be coming up on the Kamikaze.

Y/N: The Divine Wind.

Jess: Whats so Divine about it?

Helena: They're known to completely destroy ships and keep out invaders.

Jess: Then how are we supposed to get in?

Helena: We punch through. Once we're in we'll find the island. And once we do we make contact.

Y/N: And then we finally unite the clans.

Aaaaand scene
