Most say the way back home seems shorter than it is though it seemed longer than the trip there. I stared out of the window of my quarters thinking- the way home had its moments; Ink had another attack in which I along with Geno sustained damage in, his left arm is now the same opaque colour as the substance leaking from his eyes. He hasn't been the same obnoxious lover I knew- he's been quiet and sad, no longer flirting with me, or even messing with Nightmare.
I know he's in pain and I haven't admitted it until now, but I'm scared.
Why am I even scared? He's fine, there's a cure, and all we need to do is pick it up and cure him! Everything is okay- Speaking of Ink- he was curled up on a leather trunk I had placed in the room watching as I looked out the window at the approaching island. His stare was chilling yet somehow comforting. I let out a breath as I stood up and headed toward the door with a quick pace. "Where are you going?"
He asked his tone was soft though it sounded forced. I turn toward him with a smile laying my hand on the doorknob. "My island is approaching, and I must check in with something. You can come if you want."
Ink nodded his head crawling down from the trunk and over to me, using his arms to pull himself around. He must have a lot of stamina and upper body strength to crawl around like that without getting tired in a few minutes- I wonder if Geno ever wrote that trait down.
"C'mon just follow me and don't attack anyone!" I said the last part with a stern tone as the last thing I would want is someone getting bit, or worse- killed by him. He mischievously smiled at me though it quickly faded once I opened the door.
Walking onto the deck where my crew was securing the ship from floating off, the gangplank already attached to the docks. "So, why can't I attack anyone?" Ink asked with a breathy chuckle. I look down at him, him looking back at me with a gleeful stare. "What kind of question is that? You know why you can't attack anyone!" I jokingly snap- trying not to chuckle at him, It's nice seeing him start becoming his old self. The flirty tease he was.
His flirting might be awful and corny, but I enjoy it, and he wouldn't be the same without his unique behaviour. "We are going to check on my cat if you're wondering." Ink didn't respond- he seemed more focused on crawling than answering, and I could tell his arm was still bothering him, I couldn't imagine the pain he must feel.
"Don't worry, it's not that far of a walk!" I comment as I look down at Ink; trying to ease his mind with a conversation hoping to distract him from the pain. "What's the name of your cat?" He asked, looking around as people stared at us in shock, some even backing away.
"Oh! Her name is Sheba! She is amazing and the loveliest cat you could meet!" Ink chuckled at my enthusiasm a black tint darkening his cheekbones which I presume was blush. "You seem to love her a lot, but do you love her more than me?~" He asked, chuckling, it was meant to be a joke, but inside I knew he was curious for an answer. "Most definitely! You could die for all I care, as long as she is okay." I couldn't help but see a slight hint of sadness in him when I had said that though he knew it was only a joke.
I look ahead at the approaching building seeing Outer and Star outside watering some flowers that weren't originally there. They were a baby blue colour, quite elegant if you ask me.
"Outer, Star?" I call grabbing their attention- Outer instantly paused once he noticed Ink, though Star ran up to us, excited. "Hello!" Star greeted, holding his hand out for a handshake, which I kindly denied.
"I thought you went to sell that thing... Why is it still here, and not restrained?" Outer questioned, approaching us and standing between Ink and Star- he wasn't angry nor frightened; he was confused and didn't know what Ink could do. "Don't worry! He won't harm anyone, I hope, but he's friendly!" I scratch the back of my neck nervously. "And about why I didn't sell him... it's a long story." Outer and Star game me confused stares Outer no longer standing defensive though still highly confused. "Well, I need to check on Sheba and introduce him to her, see ya soon!" I quickly walk off, leaving Outer dumbfounded and Star curious, once Ink and I were inside I slammed the door shut and locked it.
"I'll have a lot to explain to him..." Ink smiled at me before crawling off to explore the new land known as my home. "Sheba! Come here, kitty, kitty, kitty!" I call as I walk into the living room watching as the Abyssinian cat jumps off the couch and walks over to me, meowing loudly, she rubs against my legs as she meows, I reach down lifting her into my arms, running my hand from her head down her back. "Ink! Get in here right now!"
I hear a groan of annoyance, then shuffling, Ink crawls into the living room looking up at me than the cat. Sheba hisses jumping out of my arms and onto the carpet raising the fur on her back as she growls at Ink, Ink returning the aggressive behaviour, his fins rasing up.
She usually didn't act like this, not even to strangers. Why Ink? "So, you're the one who my boyfriend cares more about?" I couldn't help but facepalm at what he said- was he getting jealous over a cat? Or is this supposed to be a joke? My ever-loving goodness, I can't deal with this! "What am I to do with such an idiot?" Sheba hisses and jumps toward Ink scratching his cheek.
"Oh! Wanna go you, man-stealing bitch!?" Ink snaps with venom, baring his teeth and growling deeply.
"I swear to god if you touch her, Ink, I will break every bone you have and throw you back into the sea!" Both Ink and Sheba lower their aggressive posture and relax a bit- Sheba quickly retreating under the recliner. "My goodness, wait here so I can get some alcohol and treat that scratch, and don't start a fight with her again! While I'm gone, go pick a movie from under the Tv!"
I thought introducing the two would be nice, but little did I know they would be aggressive with each other! I open the cabinet of the bathroom and take out a bottle of alcohol, and a cotton ball, walking back into the living room, Ink now laying on the couch and Sheba on the recliner- both glaring harshly at each other. Ignoring them, I walk over to Ink, gently pouring alcohol onto the ball of cotton. "This will sting a bit, but bear with me." Inks huffs, moving his injured cheek toward me, allowing me to dab the cotton onto his cheek, he slightly flinches but stays still.
Once done, I set the stuff onto the coffee table, not bothering to return it. "Did you pick a movie?" I ask, walking over to the Tv and standing in front of it. "I don't know what a movie is?"
He nervously chuckled hesitantly smiling at me. Of course he didn't know what a movie was, what did I expect from a sea creature? "Don't worry about that I'll just get one myself."
I crouch down scanning through the section of movies I had on display; I had far more than them, though they were in storage and I couldn't be bothered digging through them. "Ah, here we go! The Exorcist." Ink eyed me with a goofy expression watching as I put the DVD into the machine and switched channels. "Just by the name, I'm assuming this is something to do with horror?" I excitedly nod my head at him, plopping down on the other side of the couch. "Yep!"
I press play, leaning back and waiting for the movie to start, Ink doing the same.
________________________________________________
The movie was rolling its credits as I started drifting into sleep. I switched the channel to a calmer one turning the volume low, Ink had curled up with me and was already asleep, he was always peaceful when he slept, almost like a cat.
It was nice sleeping next to someone who doesn't wake you with their snoring.
His tail was wrapped around me along with his arms, his head rested above him, allowing comfort. Sheba had also joined our cuddling- purring as she slept beside us.
