"Against my own will that's how." Stella kept her face away from the other, for her face had reddened a bit after hearing Altheas amazing laugh.

Althea outright snorted, covering her smile with a hand in a feeble attempt to keep Stella from being offended. She moved her head to gain back eye contact, raising an eyebrow as she asked: "You didn't just toss your knives at them again?"

Stella looked away again, "I did. But my knives did nothing against their armor."

Althea winced, bumping Stella's shoulder with her own in an attempt to lighten the now somber mood. "No need to get down about it. What's done is done, there's nothing you can do to change it"

Stella was surprised by the shoulder bump and gave the other a curious look, "Hmpf wh-whatever…"

Althea raised an eyebrow, not buying this uninterested front, but said nothing. She left her shoulder resting against Stella's. "Since we'll be down here for a while, feel free to start some conversation. I've been bored as all hell down here. There's literally nothing to do."

"What kind of conversation?" Stella asked still a little surprised at Altheas movements.

A smirk spread across Althea's face. "Babe, I couldn't give less of a shit. At this point, you could read me a 500 page book on quantum theory and I'd listen to you."

Babe? Stella was stunned, she took a second before speaking again, "Um did I mishear you or did you just call me babe?" He face was a little red again.

Althea noticed Stella's blush with an internal cheer, pushing herself a little farther into her space. "Yeah, Babe, I did."

Stella blushed harder as the name was used again and Althea pushing closer, "W-why?" She didn't know what else to say.

Althea shrugged nonchalantly, easing her face closer to Stella's with as much subtly as she was capable of. "Because I want to. And because you're cute."

Stella’s face was red as a tomato by now and she was a little less confused but still a bit confused, “Um…but…we j-just met!”

"So?" Althea was practically pinning Stella against the wall now, one arm braced on the right side of her head and the other hovering by Althea's side. "Doesn't make you any less cute."

Stella shifted lightly, “I-uh, oh…you have a point…” she admitted.

Althea laughed again. "I know," she said, deciding to close the gap between their faces with a kiss. She pulled away after a few seconds, trying to gauge Stella's reaction.

Stella was surprised, eyes wide, heart pounding and face red. She opened her mouth to speak but nothing came out, she was still in shock.

Althea immediately backed away to give Stella some space, silently panicking. Fuck! Had she read this wrong? Was Stella going to be pissed at her? "Stella? You okay?"

“I’m uh, yes…yes I’m okay…” Stella sat awkwardly not knowing what to say. She really liked Althea but wasn’t great at expressing emotions, she buried her face in her hands trying to think.

That was bad, wasn't it!? Shit! Althea had just messed things up with the one person on this boat she actually liked, and now things were going to be weird and awkward and it was all her fault. "Sorry about that. I'll just go… stand over there, And stay out of your way," she said, crossing the hull of the boat and slumping against the far wall.

Stella leaned her head on the wall, not responding. She was distressed and could barely breathe, “God I’m such a fucking idiot…” she mumbled aloud mostly to herself.

Althea plopped to the ground and slammed her head into her knees. That was so stupid! She should've asked permission first. Or signaled her intentions better. Or… something! Anything! Gods, she was such an idiot.

Stella eventually stood up, wanting to apologize and nervously walked over to Althea, “Hey…Althea…” Stella paused, “I’m really sorry…the k-kiss was um nice, I was just surprised…”

Althea perked up considerable, a look of shock crossing her face. She hadn't fucked up? "Oh! Um…. sorry for surprising you? I really should've warned you or something anyway, so you really don't need to apologize."

Stella smiled, “No, no, it’s okay. I should’ve taken the hints, but I didn’t…” she laughed running her hand through her wavy golden brown hair.
