Wings of Ivalice [[Rated R (ARR)]]

What the boy said made Elleron smirked. "Well then...seems like your in love.." The captain said before walking out of the bathroom, deciding it would be best if he went out and started to get supplies.

Enric looked at Elle, utterly confused. "I...what?" In love? He'd only just met Theory yesterday. He couldn't be. Enric shook his head. "I just want him safe...I don't want to lose him. I don't want to see him hurt like that ever again."

Ruyine drifted off to sleep with Theo in his arms, chittering sleepily. "Mmmn.."

"Thats love, kid. It strikes at the weirdest times..." Elleron said before finally exiting the ship, and going back to the market to buy supplies.

Theory snuggled closer to Ruyine, still muttering things about his nightmare.

Enric stared after Elle. Love? Did he love Theory? It didn't matter; it would take a long time for Theory to even understand what love was., even if he could feel anything for Enric

Sighing, Enric stumbled into the cabin. There wasn't room on the bed to squeeze in next to Theory and Ruyine but he wanted to stay as close as possible so he laid on the floor next to them.

Ruyine stirred a little and turned his head to see Enric on the floor. The half-orc moved over a inch or so and patted the bed to invite Enric to get between him and Theo.

Enric looked up, a little surprised, but didn't hesitate to climb into the new space, squeezing in next to Theory. Lying down, Enric grabbed on to Theory, holding him like he wanted to protect the boy from everything.

Elleron wandered about the city, buying supplies in varying degrees and telling them to be shipped to the Airodome gate where his ship was located. Though he was being careful on who he bough his supplies from.

Theory's lips twitched into a smile, smelling the familiar, and now less bloody, scent that belonged to Enric. Uncurling himself slightly, the hybrid boy snuggled against the thief.

Ruyine smiled softly at the two then went back to sleep, his arms around the both of them now.

Enric snuggled Theory close, leaving a butterfly kiss on the hybrid's cheek and then one more on the lips, before nuzzling into the curve of Theory's shoulder. He breathed in Theory's scent, just happy he was safe.

[[ 4 hour timeskip!]]

Elleron sighed as he walked through the airodome, this time with a few bags of supplies in his left arm while his right hand idly went through his now, much shorter hair. The half-viera decided it was time for a change in appearance and so he cut his waist long hair. "Wonder how they'll react." He said idly to himself as he walked through the gate that lead to his ship.

Enric picked his head up when he heard Elle enter because he wasn't asleep. He'd dozed, but never quite fallen asleep. Every time he'd tried to fall asleep, his mind had remembered what it felt like to sink. Sighing, he murmured a greeting to Elleron before putting his head back down between Ru and Theory.

Ruyine shifted sleepily and nuzzled the two younger boys protectively, twitching his ears in idle greeting to the half-viera.

Enric nudged his head back in a nuzzle to Ruyine. "Thanks," he whispered. For the first in a long time, he felt like he had a family and a home.

"No problem, kid..." Ruyine mumbled, still asleep.

Theory curled up again, nudging closer to the other boy if he could.

"Oh yeah fine don't wake up for the one who has all the supplies..." Elleron said sarcastically as he went to the galley first before actually walking into the cabins and seeing the three curled up on one bed. Atleast they are all getting along... He thought before walking to where the ramp was and sitting down on the top of it.

Enric chuckled to himself as Elle yelled at them before he nudged Ruyine. "He's your lover," Enric quipped. "You wake up for him." He nuzzled Theory's ear, hoping that the boy would forgive him when he woke.

"Okay, okay. Geez." Ruyine finally woke up and carefully got up from the bed, leaving his vest with the two boys so they'd have some part of him before he left the cabins.

He wondered around the ship before actually finding the half-viera who looked different with his shortened hair but he could tell it was him.

"So, you got your hair cut, huh? It looks nice."

"Oh, you can tell...?" Elleron laughed slightly before glancing over his shoulder, still not used to how short his hair was. Looking back down at the ramp he could see the gate and through it the rest of the airodome. Who needed cafes when you could people watch from your own airship?

Enric tugged the vest over both of them like a blanket so Theory could smell more of the familiar.

"Of course I can tell. You don't look *that* different." Ruyine retorted, sitting next to Elleron.

"So, do you like spying on people?" He teased.

The half-viera couldn't help but laugh, "Yeah when theres nothing else to do. Besides... spying is part of being a pirate...!" He said as he idly bumped against the half-orc every few seconds.

"Mmm..."Theory uncurled again, though it was because of the fact that he was with Enric, that and he could smell him, even if most of the boys original scent was masked by that of the elemental smell.

"Careful, you might get me riled up." Ruyine laughed, bumping back against Elle.

"I know it doesn't make a difference," he whispered, more to himself than to Theory. "But I think Elle's right and I love you." Enric sighed and closed his eyes again. He'd never be able to say that if Theory was awake. It would just make things harder.

"Psh...yeah right..." Elleron said though he did stop bumping against the half-orc. With a sigh, he leaned up against Ruyine and closed his eyes. "I heard some rumors when I was getting supplies... apparently my dads here too.."

Theory opened one yellow eye, though it looked pretty dulled like it did yesterday when the two met. "....you....do?" He whispered, as if still in a sleep.
