“ promise?” he asked half-jokingly. He held her hand until they got to the door nudging their helmets together.

She smiled, looking into his eyes with sincerity.

“Of course I promise. I don’t know what I’d do without your cuddles,”she said with a giggle.

“Now, go on back in, this way I can come back that much quicker,”she added, teasing him.

“ okay” he said and hopping back into his own airlock

(Sorry for the length)

Amelia smiled at him again, then made her way back to her ship. She quickly glanced around, noting no marks, then went inside. She took her helmet off after a moment, then noticed a flashing light on one of the monitors.

Curious, Amelia approached and tapped on it, realizing that it was a voice message. The name made her hesitate, but she quickly reminded herself that this man had always been a friend to her. She clicked on the message.

“Hey, Heartbreaker, it’s Beta-Man. I just wanted to say hello to an old friend, who, apparently, just resurfaced from the void. Found a hot girl, did ya? Anyways, I also wanted to say that there’s a new girl about, big beautiful bitch, let me tell you… and, if you’re interested, we can hook up again and meet her. Sound like a plan, eh? Bite at me when you can. See ya!”

A click marked the end of the message and the flashing light went out. Amelia sat down in the pilot’s seat, a hand covering her mouth in order to contain her emotions.

It had been over a year since anyone from the Tricky Skippers had contacted her. Thankfully, it was Beta-Man, the second-in-command of the gang, one of her oldest friends. Unfortunately, she didn’t much look forward to meeting his older brother, the leader, again.

Amelia sighed and decided to wait on contacting Beta-Man. As she headed out, she grabbed a small pad she used for messaging others when away from her ship. She then composed herself and headed out, floating back to the side of Keigo’s ship and waiting.

Keigo opened his airlock, waiting for her. “ hey love, what's wrong. You look worried “ he said mournfully “ something happen?”

“Shit, am I that obvious? I’ll tell you in a minute. There’s some good news, and some bad news,”she replied, snorting.

Amelia stepped in, shutting the door. When the air was pressurized again, she quickly shed her suit.

“Your room?”she asked, suddenly feeling very nervous.

It had been a while since she was this shaken up, excluding the occasional nightmare. And she didn’t know how Keigo would react to the message she had gotten, or the context behind it.

“Amelia.. What's going on!?” he said worried and took her to his room. He looked just as worried as her.

(Sorry again about the length, and for any future long posts like this)

She sat down on his bed and pulled out the pad.

“Just listen, then I’ll explain,”Amelia bade.

She played the message again. When it finished, she took a deep breath.

“Beta-Man is the second-in-command of a gang I used to hang out with, called the Tricky Skippers. They’re small but crafty, and he’s talking about a potentially big heist that he wants me to be a part of. It’s funny the way he speaks in code.”

She paused, brushing a strand of hair behind her ear.

“Beta-Man, his real name is Jonathan but everybody just calls him by his codename, has been a friend of mine for years. We practically grew up together. His older brother, Maxim, or Fire-Breather, is the leader of the Tricky Skippers. Maxim is my ex…”

Amelia paused again to take several deep breaths. She then pointed at the scar on her neck.

“Maxim gave me this. And, I’m sure you noticed last night that it’s bigger than it looks. I shot his leg off in retaliation, and… if Jonathan hadn’t of heard that shot, I would be dead.”

Amelia took another deep breath, wiping away tears.

“After I healed up, I left and haven’t heard from them since, until now. And it’s been over a year.”

Amelia looked at Keigo shakily.

Keigo flinched when he heard the story though it was more worry than anger. “ Amelia.. “ he said. The man sat down next to her and pulled her into his lap. Hugging her tightly. “ don't go, I don't want them hurting you or it being a setup. “ he said with genuine concern “ if you wanna go, I'm coming with, no crew just us. “ he spoke next to her ear quietly. Keigo seemed to understand and never once showed any sign of anger or rejection, just the same deep love for her as always. “ dipshit one hurt you and I'm not going to let it happen again” he said like the protective boyfriend he was.

Amelia set the pad aside as he pulled her into his lap, then wrapped around Keigo, breathing deeply as tears continued to drip from her eyes.

“Jonathan wouldn’t set me up. That’s not his way, even if someone put a gun to his head. If he’s found something, it’s solid. And, the others aren’t all that bad either. It’s just Maxim. But, since it’s been so long, I don’t know. I don’t know what to do, what to think…”she trailed off with a shaky sigh.

“And I don’t want want to risk you getting hurt, or worse. I also don’t know what I’d need to do if you ended up having a seizure. I… I’m just so lost…”she trailed off again, too flustered to know what else to say.

Keigo just held her, rubbing his hand up her back. He rocked his back a little, rocking her in the process. “ it's okay.. It's your decision, I'm just worried for you.”

(Idea- She doesn’t go and they end up running across the ‘big bitch’, or go after it as well, and encounter the Tricky Skippers. Or something along those lines. Yes? No? I’m fine with either way)

Amelia was silent for a moment, savoring his hold. She slowly calmed down.

“I won’t go. Jonathan’s like a brother, but I can’t. And I’ll have to send a message back to him, but I can do that later,”she breathed.

After saying that, she seemed to calm down considerably, though she didn’t move from his grip.

Keigo kissed her head “ that's okay Amelia. “

(grin)

Amelia smiled slightly and snuggled against him.

“Thank you,”she breathed.

She had so much more to say about her appreciation of him, but she didn’t know how to say it.

“ your welcome” Keigo said, still rubbing her back

Amelia’s smile grew. A few minutes later, she was starting to doze off. She caught herself though.

“So, before I fall asleep like this, do you need to go back to work?”she asked, chuckling.

“… I'm sure I can work later in the night”

Amelia giggled.

“You spoil me, love. Though, I won’t be upset if you have to work. I know captaining a ship can be a handful sometimes,”she said quietly.

“ it's is with a whole damn crew, but I'm sure they've got it for a few hours. “ he said

“Alright,”Amelia said, starting to doze off again.

Abruptly, a loud buzz came from the pad and it lit up, revealing a second message from Beta-Man, along with attachments. Amelia jumped at the buzz, then laughed.

“I completely forgot. Jonathan always sends schematics of the ship he’s spying on. You want to look, or just ignore it?”Amelia asked.
