二十六 celebration

*warning - alcohol, etc. mature content*

It was strange.

You spent the next couple of days doing chores, work, and cleaning around the Polar Tang. Your shoulder wound barely hurt anymore.

You would do your daily stop in to see Riku who was still injured but seemed to be doing much better. You found it to be humorous how much he loved when you visited. He even was able to stand up and walk normally now, with little pain.

The only thing that was absent in all this was Law.

You hadn't seen him once since you had ran out of his quarters.

And everytime you thought about it made your stomach twist with embarrassment and guilt.

Why do I feel guilty?

You didn't know why, because you knew you shouldn't feel that way.

Perhaps your reaction was a bit much, but the man was being pushy, right?

Was it embarrassing to admit that you didn't know how to react because you were scared?

"Shiina."

A familiar voice pulled you from your thoughts.

You blinked, as you turned to Shachi who was sitting up on the counter you were leaning against,

"You keep zoning out."

"Right, sorry."

Penguin placed a hand on your shoulder,

"You okay?"

Ever since your one conversation with him, he had acted totally normal. Almost as if it had never happened.

You nodded,

"Yeah, just tired. I haven't been able to sleep these last couple days."

Riku chimed in,

"You're always welcome to come sleep in here."

"Perv," Shachi muttered under his breath.

"Hey! I am not a pervert!"

Riku continued to ramble as Penguin lightly squeezed your shoulder,

"If you can't sleep, come and wake me. I'd be happy to walk around the ship with you util you get tired."

You looked at him and gave a faint smile,

"Thanks."

"Hey are you two even listening?!"

"Hm?"

The two of you turned your attention back to Riku.

"I said, I think we ought to celebrate, hm?"

"Drinks and a night off- I'm in."

Shachi replied happily, as he clasped his hands behind his head.

"Don't get ahead of yourselves- one of you has to ask the captain first," Penguin replied as he crossed his arms.

Silence.

And then, all three heads slowly turned to you.

You blinked, realizing what was going on,

"Oh hell no! He's your captain you dweebs! I'm not asking!"

Shachi groaned,

"Oh come on! If you ask, he'll say yes!"
