"What did you do to her ?!" Mariella shouts, waking you up in process. "I didn't do anything. I wouldn't dare to harm her !" a calm voice replies.
Piers.
You smile a little before stirring a bit. Piers rushes to your side. Wanting to help you to sit up he places his larger hand on the small of your back. You flinch forward at the sudden contact. Piers realises what he had done and apologizes "I'm sorry (y/n). I totally forgot-" "It's ok, Piers." You reassure him with a smile. He immediatly returns it.
"Oh grazie a dio (y/n). I thought you are still injured. And this idiota only made it worse." She pinches Piers head lightly. "Like I said, I wouldn't dare to harm her. I also wouldn't let anything else let harm her."
You blush at his tender words and look away. Piers turns to you again, still kneeling down beside you. "Anyways, are you hungry ?" "Yes. Actually I really am." You admit. You hadn't got anything to eat before you fell asleep yesterday.
Now that you think about it, you wonder how you even got here. Into your bed. 'Did I black out again ?'
"Mariella ? Did I black out again ?" Piers freezes in his tracks. Mariella stutteres "W-Well umm...I think you should ask Piers happened." She looks at the said man with a serious look. Piers sighs and turns to you again.
"What happened ? How did I get here ?" you ask with a little amount of panic in your voice. 'What if it happened again ? But I don't feel any pain....' you think, trying to calm yourself down. Piers rubs his nape and explains "W-Well...do you remember that we hid in that tent ?" You nod "And the things we talked about ?" Another nod "Y-You fell asleep and I carried you back here." 'Is that a blush ?!' you ask yourself while he explains.
Mariella chuckles at the sight. The lieutenant of their Captain flushed like a tomatoe and you look at him with wide eyes.
Mary breaks the awkward silence "Soooooo...do want to go to get some breakfast ?"
"Yes, I'll be there in a minute."
Piers is so tied up in his train of thoughts that he doesn't realize that he should leave so you can get ready. Only when Mary pulls at his arm he is back in reality. "Y-Y-Yes...I'll be outside. Waiting for you. Yeah...uhhm...excuse me then."
"What the hell was that ?" Mary asks more to herself than to you. But you don't know it either.

After 10 minutes you are ready to go. Mariella somehow got jeans and other clothes in your size yesterday. You picked a wine red jeans along with a wide black pullover. (Sorry if it isn't your style but I like my clothes comfortable :D) Your //short hair: is in a high pigtail, but your bangs are not in the tail | long hair: is done in a fishbone braid, which Mariella helped you with, on one side of your head, with a few bangs sticking out.//. Outside your tent, Piers is leaning on a wall checking his phone. Once he sees you he picks it away quickly and walks over to you.
"I'm ready !" you smile at him. He smiles back and offers you his arm again. You hook your arm around his, a bit more confident this time, but still a bit shy.
"Then let's go milady." Piers fake bows and you begin to walk with him.
"Today I'll finish my mission of showing you that my words are true. I mean if you are still interested." Piers says quickly.
"I'd love to." You say and realize it was a bit to much. "I mean...since you promised and you should never break a promise." You chuckle to hide your embarrassment. He chuckles with you.
The walk is quickly over and you enter the cafeteria tent. Piers, the gentleman he seems to be, holds the door open for you. You grin and step in with light pink tinted cheeks.
You scan the room. You see the familiar face of Finn and Chris. You look back at Piers.
"Where are we going to sit ?" Piers was going to answer, but a deep voice cut him off.
"Nivans ! Come over here. We have two seats left for you !" Chris waves the both of you over. Piers smiles at you and leads you to them.
You take a seat next to Finn and across from Piers. Chris sits next to Piers.
"How are doing ? Did Piers show you around ?" Chris looks briefly at his lieutenant. "Yes, he did. More or less. And he was very kind." You tell Chris with a smile.
"What do you mean 'more or less' ?" "Well-"
"We didn't manage to see everything. But we carry on where we left off yesterday." Piers interupts. You raise an eyebrow at Piers but he doesn't react to it.
"I see. Anyways, what didn't you got to see, (y/n) ?" "I didn't see Piers' skills yesterday, but he promised me that he'll show me today." you complain with a grin at Chris.
"How conveniently that Piers' schedule is canceled for today. So he has enough time to show you everything he promised." Chris grins at Piers.

After finishing the breakfast Chris nudges Piers' shoulder and whispers something to him and grins. Piers rolls hiss eyes and whispers something back at Chris with frustrated facial expression. Chris laughs and stands up together with Finn. "Excuse us. Finn and me are going to the gym." "What-" "Right, Finn ?" Chris says a bit firm. Finn has no idea what is going on and just nods awkwardly and follows Chris.
You look at Piers and when the two men left he says "Now that we ate, how about some traning ?" Piers asks with a smirk. You smirk and raise an eyebrow and lean over the table a bit and replie "Whenever you're ready, lieutenant." You say with a wide grin. Piers carries away your dishes and with your arms entangled again he leads the way to the training ground.
