(Y/N)'s P.O.V
Jim and I talked for a while before getting comfortable, my hammock below his. So it went me, Jim, and the Flatula squishy alien above him.
I giggle as Jim smacks one of his tentacles away from his face, and he playfully glares down at me and grins, rolling his eyes before getting comfortable.
My smile starts to fade as I think about everything that happened.
That scream... Was that Mr. Arrow I heard?
I shake my head with a shiver.
And Scroop... Could he really be the one that killed my parents? If he is... I'm gonna make sure he pays. I
I grit my teeth as Scroops eyes flash in my mind, my heart still racing with adrenaline as I softly sigh.
I almost died today... If it wasn't for Silver, I would have met the same fate as Mr. Arrow. And then I wouldn't be able to tell Jim how I feel...
I pause, shaking my head, making my hammock sway.
How do I feel about him?
I groan in annoyance as sleep fails to take me away, and I get up, heading to the stairs leading to the main deck.
I need some air.
...
Jim's P.O.V
I playfully glare at (Y/N) when she laughs at me smacking Flatula's squishy tentacles away, and I can't help but smile at her.
I roll my eyes and lay down, attempting to get comfortable, thinking about what happened today.
(Y/N) almost died... And I just... Froze!
I lowly growl to myself, ruffling my hair in aggravation.
If Silver didn't take action... She would be dead... And I would never see her again... I wouldn't be able tell her how I felt...
I hear (Y/N)'s hammock squeak slightly before it stops.
I love her... I really do.
My thoughts pause when I hear (Y/N) groan in annoyance. I peek down at her and watch as she gets up and heads to the stairs, going to the main deck.
I need to tell her. And I need to do it now.
...
(Y/N)'s P.O.V
I huff in annoyance, walking to the edge of the ship. I lean against the railing on my forearms, sighing.
A set of hands grabs my shoulders, Jim's voice whispering in my ear.
"Boo."
I jump in surprise and gasp, Jim quickly backing away before I could accidentally smack him with an amused grin on his face. My heart was racing in my chest as I hold a hand to my heart, sighing loudly with relief as I playfully shove his shoulder with a huff.
"Jerk! You scared me half to death!" I glare at him, pretending to be angry.
I cross my arms and turn away stiffly, hiding my grin as I pretend to ignore him.
I'm glad he's here.
"Aw, come on, (Y/N)! It was a joke! Come on, you're not really mad, are ya?" Jim whines, walking to my side.
I turn my head away, biting my lip to hide my smile.
"(Y/N)."
I stiffle a giggle as he pokes my cheek.
"(Y/N)!" He whines once more, drawing out each syllable of my name as he shifts closer to me.
I still ignore him, Jim letting out a deep sigh.
"All right. Didn't wanna do this, but you left me no choice!"
I burst out laughing when he begins to tickle my side, my eyes wide as I turn and quickly hit his hand away as he beams widely with amusement.
"Gotcha!" Jim laughs, reaching over and lightly tickling along my side once more.
"Stop, dummy!" I protest with laughter, turning to make a move to bolt.
"Never!" He laughs, wrapping his arms around me and yanking me close to him as he continues his attack on me, one arm wrapped around me and the other tickling my side.
"I won't be held responsible for your injuries!" I warn, making him laugh harder at my threat.
"All right, all right!"
He finally stops his attack, and we're both left slightly panting from laughing. He removes his arm from around my waist, a grin on my face as I turn to face him.
"Been awhile since we've messed around like that," I joke, looking up at him and pausing when I notice how close our faces were.
He notices too, his playful smile dropping as a red hue spreading on his cheeks, my own heating up.
When did he get so tall?
"... Yeah. Guess, uh, it's been kind of... tense here. Feels nice to... laugh." Jim quietly says with a sheepish chuckle, clearing his throat as he shifts and steps a bit closer.
"Right..." I awkwardly mumble, unsure on what to do as I gaze up at him with a blush.
"Listen... I, uh... I..." Jim stammers out, looking anywhere at my face, refusing to meet my eyes as his cheeks dust with a soft pink blush as well.
"Jim?" I question, making his eyes shift from my lips to my eyes, where he finally makes eye contact.
He swallows thickly, and I notice his hands were lightly shaking.
"Are you... Okay?" I quietly ask, feeling his forehead. "You feel like you have a fever."
"I... I'm fine, I just... I need to tell you, that I..." Jim trails off, and I move my hand from his forehead.
I notice he was slowly leaning down, closer to my face as my heart hammers in my chest.
"Yes...?" I urge, softly.
"That... I..." His face was dangerously close to my own, and his nose slightly brushed against mine. "That I--"
"Jimbo! Lassie!" A familiar voice yells, cheerfully.
We both exclaim in surprise and jump apart, both of our faces a bright red as Jim scowls with irritation, turning to the voice.
...
Jim's P.O.V
My heart hammered madly in my chest, and my stomach was erupting with a volcano of butterflies. My breath nearly hitches when my nose brushed against hers as she stared at me with slightly wide eyes, a large blush on her cheeks.
"That I--" I start, but was cut off by a familiar cheerful voice booming.
"Jimbo! Lassie!"
We both jump away from each other, my face burning in a blush and I could faintly see she was blushing as well. I scowl with irritation, glancing to the source of the voice.
Why is it that every time I try to kiss her, we are interrupted?!
"Didn't I tell the two of ya's to head on to bed? Yous gots a lot of work tomorrow," Silver pauses, looking between us.
I glare at him in annoyance and a slow smirk spreads on his face. I move my glare from him, gesturing and looking at (Y/N), my gaze flicking back to him.
"Ah..." He trails off, dragging out the word. "I see! Don't need to tell this old Cyborg when he isn't wanted!"
"It's... Erm, fine... If you want to join us," (Y/N) squeaks out, making my anger slightly fade at her adorableness.
Silver glances at (Y/N) and back at me, and I jerk my head, using a 'shoo' motion to urge him to leave.
Silver snorts and my cheeks flare up again, both in embarrassment and slight frustration.
"That's alright, Lassie, but me heart is warmed at your kind invitation!" Silver places a hand on his heart dramatically before gently ruffling her hair, walking past her to me.
He ruffles my hair with more force and whispered lowly so (Y/N) wouldn't hear.
"When you get her, don't let 'er go, James," Silver pulls away and walks off to continue his night watch.
"Well... We should, uh... Get to bed," (Y/N) mumbles, turning to the direction of our quarters.
I felt my heart drop.
No.
She starts walking away.
Say something, dummy!
My feet stagger forward on their own, and I grab (Y/N)'s arm, spinning her around to face me as I step closer to her. I hear her gasp of surprise as I pull her to my chest, my arm wrapped around her waist and my other hand coming up and cupping the side of her jaw.
She blinks rapidly, staring at me with wide doe eyes as she blushes heavily.
Neither of us move for a moment, my heart beating loudly in my ears. I open my mouth to speak when she surprises me by lightly placing her lips onto mine, making my words die in my throat, and my heart nearly explodes. Her eyes were shut, and I find myself slowly closing my own.
My stomach flutters, making me smile.
I lightly kiss her back, since both of us were inexperienced it was a little awkward and clumsy, but it was amazing.
I tilt my head slightly, deepening the kiss before we both slowly pull away from each other.
I open my eyes and she slowly does the same, her face a bright shade of red that reached her ears.
"I... I am so sorry, I just... I didn't-- I, erm!" She stammers out, trying to pull away from me.
I hold her closely to me, not letting her run away.
"Well, I'm not sorry!" I start laughing, my heart in my throat. "Oh my gosh, you just-- we just... Wow!" I laugh again in happiness, shaking my head and running a hand through my hair.
I grab her hips, laughing as I pick her up and spinning around, making her squeal and laugh.
"I love you!" I laugh, freezing when I realize what I said. "Oh... What I meant was, erm... I really like you!" I lie, sighing and setting her down.
She gives me a raised brow look, making me falter.
"... I meant it... I-- I love you. I have... For a while now. Longer than I should admit," I sheepishly confess, rubbing my neck as I laugh bashfully while blushing.
(Y/N) smiles softly, grabbing my hand.
"Well, I love you, too!" She laughs, a wide grin on her face.
I sigh with relief, lacing our fingers together tightly.
I bring up her hand and kiss the back of it, smiling triumphantly when she giggles and blushes, knowing I caused this adorable reaction.
We both lean against the railing and she rests her head on my shoulder.
She shivers slightly, so I gently nudge her off for a second, shrugging off my jacket and wrapping it around her.
(Y/N) smiles and snuggles into it before resting her head on me again.
"Why couldn't you sleep?" I softly ask, placing a feather kiss against her temple.
"I was thinking about the day you saved me. When we met," she responses, making my smile instantly vanish and I tense.
"Oh." I nod, "what... About it?"
(Y/N) looks over at me and gently rubs my forearm before setting her warm hand on my own, comforting me.
"You... Remember how I told you about the alien man with the yellow eyes?"
My brows furrow.
Where is she going with this...?
"Yes," I respond, waiting for her to finish.
"I... Think it was Scroop."
My blood freezes, rage erupting in my veins.
"What?!" I demand loudly, making her shush me frantically.
"You wanna wake the whole crew?" (Y/N) whispers, urgently. "Yes! I think it was him. No. Wait. I don't think. I know it was him. I can never forget his eyes."
(Y/N) lightly trembles, this time not from the cold.
I grab her and bring her close to me, hoping my presence comforts her.
It works, and she snuggles into my chest with a shaky breath.
"I'm gonna kill him," I growl to myself, making (Y/N) shake her head.
"Jim, no. It's... It's not okay, but I don't want you to get hurt. I'll make sure Amelia knows by the end of our voyage, and she will probably see to it that he is locked away forever," (Y/N) peeks up at me, placing a light kiss on my chin.
I glance down at her, my heart melting a bit at this as I blink rapidly with a wide grin before pressing a kiss to her forehead.
"All right. But if he gets away, I'll literally become a vigilante just to hunt him down to the end of the galaxy." I sternly say before leaning down, pecking her forehead before placing a gentle kiss on her lips, my stomach fluttering just as much as it did the first time.
"Well, now! Isn't this a bonnie little picture!" Silver's voice calls from above, making both of us yelp and jump back from each other.
I huff in annoyance and look up to the wheel where Silver was watching, resting his cheek on his hand with his elbow on the rail.
He raises a brow with a smirk and chuckles.
"I told ya the lad liked ya, Lassie!" Silver bellows out a laugh, and my face heats up.
"You... You told her?!" I yell, making him laugh harder, if possible.
I angrily huff, starting to walk towards the stairs leading to Silver when (Y/N) wraps her arms around me in a hug, making my anger vanish.
I grin and hug her back tightly.
"Aw," Silver coos, and (Y/N) pulls away with a sheepish smile. "Now, both of you should head off to bed. And stay there this time around."
(Y/N) and I nod in unison, and I grab her hand, walking to our quarters, both of us nearly exploding in embarrassment when Silver decides to yell,
"And no canoodling on this here ship!"
We both run away, Silver's laughter behind us.
...
(Y/N) and I slowly enter the quarters, trying not to wake anyone.
I huff in annoyance, seeing the Flatula guy's tentacles where dangling all over my hammock.
(Y/N) lightly laughs, making me glare at her with a pout.
She calms herself and shakes her head.
"Jim, if you want... We can share mine? If you don't mind," she quickly adds, and I stare at her for a second. (Y/N) takes this as a bad sign. "O-Or not, it was... It was only a suggestion!"
"Sure," I sheepishly smile, "if you're alright with it."
She stiffly nods with a awkward grin, and I climb into her hammock, holding out my arm, inviting her.
(Y/N)'s face turns a slight red as she remains rooted to her spot, and I lightly chuckle and roll my eyes before grabbing her arm and pulling her onto my chest.
She tries to climb off to give me room, but I hold her protectively against me.
"Jim?"
"Hmm?" I hum in response, her warmth making me sleepy.
"Are we... You know... Together, now?"
I can't help the snort that escapes me, "well, considering I've been madly in love with you forever, I would hope so."
(Y/N) lightly giggles and rests her cheek on my chest again.
"I love you," she yawns, her body relaxing.
"I love you too," I respond, my heart swelling in adoration for the girl in my arms.
"Now, go to sleep, darling." I gently rub her back.
I adjust my jacket over her shoulders so it acts like a blanket, and before I knew it we were both sound asleep.
...
owo hey there
I hope this wasn't too horrible
I've never really written love scenes before. Can you tell?
I was thinking of something Jim would call his girlfriend, and I dunno why, but "Darling" kept entering my head.
I wanted this in Jim's P.O.V because I haven't written a lot of chapters in his eyes.
Or maybe do it at the end?
I'll just go with the flow =w=
Bye, Lovelies! â¤
