(Stellaron hunter base)
As the morning sun streamed through the Stellaron Hunter Base's windows, its gentle rays brightened the corridors, putting a warm glow on the walls and floors. Silver Wolf awoke in this peaceful haven of the day with an extraordinary determination.
Silver Wolf rose earlier than unusual, determined to seize the day. Each step she took echoed gently in the corridor, a cadence of purpose and determination leading her to the restroom. There, amidst the quiet hum of the base's machinery, she began her morning routine, ingrained by Y/n's continuous persistent.
After completing her morning routine, Silver Wolf made her way to the living room, greeted by the sight of Kafka bustling about in the kitchen, preparing breakfast, and Blade calmly meditating in his usual spot. The aroma of freshly brewed coffee filled the air, mingling with the gentle hum of the base's machinery.
Kafka: Good morning, Silvey. It's unusual to see you up before Y/n.
Silver Wolf: Well, we do have a task to attend to, after all. Speaking of which...
Silver Wolf scanned the living room, her eyes darting around in search of Y/n, but he was nowhere to be found.
Silver wolf:Where is Y/n? He's ually more of a morning person than I am. Ever since he was appointed as my partner, he's never woken up late once.
Kafka: Y/n might be in his room catching up on sleep. Waking up early every day is tough. Plus, yesterday's task was exhausting,don't you agree?
As Kafka continued to bustle about the kitchen, the aroma of breakfast began to fill the air. Silver Wolf watched her work, her mind still preoccupied with the absence of Y/n. She knew he must have been exhausted from yesterday's task, and the idea of him catching up on sleep in his room seemed plausible.
As Kafka focused on cooking, she noticed Silver Wolf's concerned expression. Sensing her unease, she turned to her with a gentle smile.
Kafka:Silvey, could you help wake him up gently? If he's still asleep, don't disturb him. And could you also wake up Firefly if you pass by her room? Thanks, sweetie.
Silver Wolf nodded in response, her mind already racing with thoughts about Y/n's well-being. With a reassuring smile, she left the kitchen and headed towards Y/n's room, determined to wake him up gently.
As Silver Wolf made her way through the corridor, her footsteps echoing softly against the walls of the base, she felt a sense of determination coursing through her. Approaching Y/n's door, she paused for a moment to gather her thoughts before knocking gently. Each tap of her knuckles against the wooden surface carried a silent plea, hoping to rouse Y/n from his slumber without startling him.
Silver Wolf: Y/n, are you in there? It's already early in the morning. Are you feeling alright today?
Despite her repeated knocks, there was no response from inside Y/n's room. Silver Wolf furrowed her brow in concern, wondering if Y/n was indeed alright.
Silver Wolf hesitated outside Y/n's door, feeling a mixture of concern and guilt gnawing at her. She knew she shouldn't barge into his room uninvited, but her worry for his well-being outweighed her sense of propriety.
Silver wolf: Pardon my intrusion,But I'm going to barge into your room without your permission.
she murmured to herself, steeling her resolve.
As she pushed the door open, Silver Wolf notice and saw Y/n sleeping soundly on his study table, surrounded by a chaotic pile of books and papers. The morning light filtered through the window, casting a warm glow on his peaceful face, his breathing steady and even.
Silver Wolf couldn't help but be shocked and surprised yet relief at the sight before her. She knew Y/n was intelligent and diligent, but seeing him asleep at his study table amidst a chaotic pile of books and papers was a whole new level of dedication.
As Silver Wolf bent down to Y/n's level, she gazed at his peaceful expression with a soft smile. Gently, she reached out and stroked his head, her fingers brushing through his hair with tenderness. Despite the chaos surrounding him, he looked so serene in his slumber, completely lost in the world of dreams.
As Silver Wolf let out a soft sigh, she couldn't help but express her thoughts aloud, despite knowing Y/n was sound asleep.
Silver Wolf: *sighs*Even if you are sleeping peacefully, why do you have a knack for making your partner worry so much? Perhaps I keep overthinking that something might happen to you when I'm not around, as well as your carelessness on missions. Nonetheless, as long as I am present, I will ensure that nothing bad occurs to you.
She couldn't help but admire his dedication and determination, even in his moments of rest. It was moments like these that reminded her of the bond they shared and the trust they had in each other. With a silent promise to always support him.
As Silver Wolf stopped stroking Y/n's hair, a mischievous grin played on her lips. With a playful glint in her eyes, she retrieved a marker from her pocket, her mind set on seizing the moment.
silver wolf: Setting personal goals aside, it's quite unusual to witness you dropping your defenses. I'll seize this moment to indulge and make the most of it!
Silver Wolf couldn't stop laughing as she sketched a fantastic moustache on Y/n's face. With each marker stroke, she added subtle embellishments and flourishes, converting his serene look into one of whimsy and charm. As she worked, she couldn't help but smile at the sight of her partner, his features softened by slumber and unconscious of the creative embellishment on his face.
As Silver Wolf put the finishing touches on her masterpiece, she couldn't help but feel a sense of mischief and joy. Despite the seriousness of their duties, moments like these reminded her of the importance of laughter and camaraderie in their partnership. With a satisfied grin, she stepped back to admire her handiwork, knowing that when Y/n woke up, he would be in for a surprise.
Silver Wolf silently slipped out of the room, careful not to disturb Y/n's peaceful slumber. With a mischievous smile lingering on her lips, she headed back to the living room to join Kafka and Blade, eager to start the day with a sense of light-heartedness and joy.
(Y/n pov)
Y/n slowly regained consciousness, rubbing his eyes sleepily as he shifted in his seat. Still drowsy from just waking up, he glanced around the room, trying to piece together how he ended up sleeping at the study table. His memory was hazy from sleeping, making it difficult to recall the events leading up to his unexpected nap.
Y/n: How did I end up at the study table? Oh yeah, I got back from one of my operations with Silver Wolf, and straight away when we returned, I quickly opened my book to do some research... I can't even remember when I fell asleep.
With a tired yawn, Y/n stretched his arms and slowly rose from his seat, his movements sluggish from the grogginess of sleep. He made his way to the restroom, still feeling drowsy and in need of some wake-up time.
As Y/n stumbled into the bathroom, still half-asleep, he mechanically reached for his toothbrush, his groggy eyes squinting at the reflection in the mirror. With drowsiness still clinging to him, he applied toothpaste to the bristles, his mind drifting as he pondered the events of the previous day.
But as soon as his gaze met his own reflection, a sudden shock jolted him awake. The toothbrush slipped from his fingers, clattering into the basin below. His eyes widened in disbelief as he blinked rapidly, as if hoping the image before him would change. Yet, no matter how many times he rubbed his eyes, the sight remained unchanged.
As Y/n scream in surprise, his voice echoed off the bathroom walls, a mixture of shock and disbelief evident in his tone.
Y/n: W...WHATTT?
As Y/n's voice reverberated in the bathroom, a mixture of irritation and amusement colored his tone as he surveyed the doodle on his face.
Y/n: Who the hell have the guts to doodled onto my face as if I'm a whiteboard? Well, I have to admit, it's kind of funny, but seriously, who did this?
As Y/n chuckled at the absurdity of the situation, he couldn't help but feel a twinge of amazement at being the subject of such a prank. Nevertheless, the comical image staring back at him in the mirror brought a smile to his face despite his irritation.
Y/n furrowed his brows, pondering over the possible culprits within the Stellaron crew who could have pulled off such a prank. After careful consideration, only one name stood out,Silver Wolf. Her playful demeanor and mischievous tendencies made her the most likely suspect. With a mix of irritation and amusement, Y/n mentally prepared himself to confront her.
He pushed open the door with more force than intended, the hinges creaking loudly in protest. As the door swung open, he caught sight of someone passing by his room, her eyes widening in surprise at the sudden movement. A surprised squeak escaped her lips.
Curious to see who he had startled, Y/n peered around the door to find Firefly standing in the corridor, her expression a mix of confusion and surprise. She had been on her way to the living room, perhaps to join the others for breakfast or start her day's work.
Y/n's cheeks flushed with embarrassment as he realized his mistake. He hadn't meant to startle her, but his preoccupation with the prank on his face had made him oblivious to his surroundings. Clearing his throat awkwardly, he offered Firefly an apologetic smile.
Y/n: (turn around his head to avoid firefly to see his face)Sorry, Firefly. I didn't see you there, and it wasn't my intention to scare you. I should have opened it more slowly instead of swinging it open so roughly.
Firefly: No worries, Y/n. Everything's fine. It's particularly my fault too for not being prepared for surprises. But, um, is everything alright? You seem a bit off and troubled.
Y/n: (looks away even more) Oh, come on, Firefly. It's nothing, really. I'm just a bit out of sorts today, that's all. Probably just your imagination.
Firefly: (frowns in frustration) Y/n, I know you too well to believe that. You're always so open with us. What's really going on?
Y/n: (with a forced nonchalance) It's nothing serious to worry about, really...
As Firefly grows increasingly irritated, she abruptly turns Y/n to face her.
Firefly: You can't say that when you're hiding your face from me! I bet it's something...
As Firefly turned Y/n to face her, her frustration turned to shock as she caught sight of the doodles adorning his face. She was dumbfounded and flabbergasted, unable to believe what she was seeing.
Y/n: (blushing with humiliation). This is why I did not want to reveal my face to someone I knew. It is embarrassing.
As Y/n finished speaking, he noticed a mischievous grin forming on Firefly's lips, her eyes dancing with suppressed amusement. She struggled to contain her laughter, her hand pressed firmly over her mouth in a futile attempt to stifle the giggles threatening to burst forth.
Firefly: (trying to stifle her laughter) I'm sorry, Y/n, but I can't help it. It's just too funny.
Y/n: no worry is inresistable to not laugh at a doodle on the face to tell you the truth, I felt the same way after seeing my face like this.
Firefly: Well, it's definitely a unique look for you, Y/n. Looks like Silver Wolf has gotten you good this time around, huh?
Y/n: Yeah, that dwarf really struck me good.
Firefly: (chuckles) So, what nickname are you going to give Silver Wolf now?
Y/n: Hmm, I haven't thought about it yet. Maybe "Doodle Master" or "Prankster genius?
Firefly: (laughs) Those are pretty fitting! Knowing Silver Wolf, she'll probably find them hilarious too.
Y/n: I believe her pride would hurt if we made fun of her height.
Firefly: (chuckles) Yeah, probably best to avoid that. Silver Wolf can be pretty sensitive about her height.
Y/n: Exactly. We'll come up with something equally clever, but less likely to hurt her feelings.
Firefly: Just as I expected, Y/n. Even if someone does something mean to you, you still choose to respond with kindness rather than seeking revenge.
Y/n: Well, there's no point in stooping to someone else's level, right? Besides, Silver Wolf always means well, even if her pranks can be a bit... unexpected.
Firefly: That's true. She does have a way of keeping things interesting around here. But don't worry, I'm sure she'll get her fair share of teasing about this one
Y/n: Yeah, I guess so. But let's keep this between us for now, okay? I don't want Silver Wolf to think I'm plotting my revenge.
Firefly: Your secret's safe with me, Y/n. But I can't promise I won't chuckle a bit whenever I see her today.
Y/n: Fair enough. Let's just hope she doesn't come up with any more surprises for a while.
With a truce alliance forged between Y/n and Firefly, the fate of Silver Wolf hangs in the balance. Will she face repercussions for her prank, or will things settle down until the next unexpected twist? Only time will tell, and if the author finds the motivation to continue this short story, the answers will unfold in due course.
