Chapter 5: Vacations and Revelations
You felt heavy and groggy, when you opened your eyes Shakky and Benn were talking in hushed voices. Both seemingly upset.
Did I really cause a fight at my workplace? I'm going to be fired for sure.
"Mr. Benn? Shakky?" You croaked out damn your throat was dry.
"Y/N!!! Don't ever scare us like that again! If you do I'm disowning you!" Shakky gripped you in an oxygen stealing embrace.
"Sorry..."
"I'm going to get you some water and a nurse. Be right back." When she left you were in a quiet room with your soon to be ex-boss. He had a frown on his face, his arms were crossed.
"What led up to him seeking you out at the store Y/N? Be honest with me."
You were, you told him everything. From Heat's friend breaking your bike, your dinner with Heat and then Bellamy being in the parking lot leaning on Heat's motorcycle. To how he mentioned Perona, you hitting him, how Bellamy started to go after you again to how Heat knocked him out.
"So basically a big mess. Instead of going after the guy who left him unconscious he came after you."
"Bellamy acts tough, but he's really a wimp who goes after opponents who he knows can't say no or can't fight back. I think he was on something too, he seemed way more...I don't know how to describe his behavior."
Mr. Benn let out a breath then finally came over to you and patted your head.
"I'm going to let the officers know that you're ready to talk. Tell them everything you told me, leave nothing out. Okay? And I'm putting you on your vacation early."
"I'm not fired?" He stared at you wide eyed and tilted his head to the side.
"Why would you be fired? You didn't start the fight you were defending yourself. Besides your my most loyal employee, firing you wouldn't do me or my business any good." He squeezed your shoulder and walked out.
"It's nice to know that I still have my day job."
You heard another knock on the door, in walked the same detective you saw before you passed out. You were more shocked as to who was behind him, it was Heat.
"Hello Ms. L/N, I'm just here to ask you a few questions. I understand your concussed, so I'll try to keep it brief."
"Uh yessir." Heat sat beside you on your bed, and placed an arm around you, the action had you raising a brow but you decided to ignore it. "Ahem, well this is what happened..."
"And he said that he was valuable to someone?"
"I have no idea what he meant it'd been a couple years since I'd seen Bellamy, he wasn't allowed in the bookstore and he didn't know where I lived plus he never sought me out after I threatened legal action against him." You left out the part where Benn threatened him.
"I see well we did take a drug test and while he was on something we have no idea what it is."
"So what's going to happen next?" Heat asked. "Am I going to be charged with assualt?"
"Wait what? Why would he be charged? I hit him first!"
"But mine knocked him out..." you were about to say something when someone else walked into the room and it was someone who you never wanted to see again. Donquixote Doflamingo. You retreated into Heats chest and even grabbed his leg, he saw this and brought you closer.
"Mufufufufu well, well...nice seeing you again Ms. Y/N."
No no no no no no! Why is he here? I haven't breached the contract that was made...why is he here?
"Mr. Donquixote...May I ask why you are here?"
"Why I heard my employee caused some trouble. You see Donquixote pharmacists are developing a new drug for those with ADHD. And Bellamy was one of the trials. It appears he was a failure though. I heard he attacked someone."
You were trembling at this point, Heat brought both arms around you and pulled you tight.
"I was hoping that the young lady wouldn't press charges against him since he wasn't in the right state of mind. Of course I'll compensate..."
"NO! I don't want your money!" You said a little too quickly, the detective and Heat both looked at you funny.
"Is that so? But if this goes to court you'll have tell the judge that you and your boyfriend attacked him unprovoked."
"I won't press charges. Keep him away from me and Heat. I also never want anything to do with Donquixote."
The tall man was smiling but you knew better than to think he was happy, it was the smile he wore when something didn't go his way, but he had to keep up appearances of his public image.
"Very well, since that's been solved I will leave. Good day."
When he left the room, you started to panic. What if he didn't leave you alone? What if he went after your newest work? What if he black mailed you?
"Y/N? Breath it's okay?" The nurses came in and gave you an oxygen mask. Heat never left your side. After a while you took the mask away from your face, and breathed normally again.
"Y/N, do you know Doflamingo?" Heat couldn't help but ask, judging by your reaction it wasn't a good thing.
"I-I used to work for his company. I used to be an animator. But it, it didn't work out. So I left but it was a difficult thing to do..."
"Okay...it's okay, you don't have to explain anything else." He wanted to know more, but you'd only just had a panic attack after the man in question left the room.
"I want to go home. Can I go home now please?" You didn't care if you sounded like a child, you couldn't stand to be in this room for one more minute.
"I think you have to stay overnight Y/N, they're worried about your concussion."
"It'll be fine as long as I stay awake right?" You hit the nurse call button. "I'd like to go home. Please bring me the release forms for me please."
"Ms. Y/N, I don't think that's a good idea."
"Yes I do. Being here will be more stressful than anything."
"Y/N sweetie?" Shakky came back. "The nurses told me who came here. Where's that bastard now?"
"He left. Heat helped." You moved to get up but Heat grabbed your hand.
"I'll stay with you to help you stay awake."
Uh what?
"Young man you and my niece haven't been dating for long. She will stay with me tonight and I will keep her company. If you want to see her, you can come tomorrow morning, sound good?"
Dating? Whose dating who?
"Alright." Heat rose to stand he turned to you leaned down and hugged you. "I'll take you to buy a new bike tomorrow. Don't make any plans okay?"
"O-okay." The next thing he did surprised you, he leaned over you and kissed you on the forehead, and then gave you a piece of paper and then proceeded to leave.
You sat there dumbstruck for about thirty seconds before Shakky and the detective cleared their throats. You flushed and looked at the piece of paper and saw a phone number written on it.
"C'mon honey. Let's go to your place and get some things for you to stay over."
"Shakky I need to um, do work for my second job..."
"Haaa, okay fine. We'll wait for that then. But honey maybe you should make a hiatus for that?"
"No absolutely not!"
The detective escorted you out of the hospital and you arrived home. It was cluttered with dishes in the sink and your clean clothes on the couch waiting to be put away, but you went straight into the kitchen/dining/office area and went to your account to upload your latest episode. Your phone dinged alerting you to an email, then you remembered that you still hadn't listened to the music file that Captain Jack sent you. Shakky was on the phone with someone and while she was talking you decided to have a quick listen.
When you hit play you waited for a moment before the first sound came. Rain. Huh? Then the instruments and vocals began you knocked over your chair from standing up so quickly. This song was the one that Heat had, had you listen to when you were at the cafe. You couldn't believe it.
"Heat voices Captain Jack..." but they sounded nothing alike...Jack had a European accent and deep voice while Heat didn't.
You decided not to post the episode instead you made a quick animation that the shows finale would be delayed because of some last minute changes. You sent a quick reply to Captain Jack asking him if you could use the song for the end of the episode.
That had taken two hours, for you to complete. Many people were excited about the changes you were going to be making. Reading the comments they started their own conspiracy theories about why it was being delayed, you let their imaginations run wild. You were sketching Heat again. His handsome face being your source of inspiration for the last week.
You'd never felt such attraction to anyone before, sure you could appreciate a good looking guy but that didn't make you want to hang out with them or even try a conversation. But with Heat, it felt like he could easily read your mood and knew when to back off and when to talk. The only other person that did that was Shakky and she was family. What did that say about the man who was essentially a complete stranger?
"I can't believe he could be Captain Jack..." you started to sketch him as Jack. You also looked at the phone number again. Before you chickened out you called him.
You almost hung up after the second ring but then he picked up.
"Hello?" His voice always made your heart flutter.
"Uh hey it's Y/N...is this a bad time?"
"Y/N? No just hang on a second." You heard someone in the background but couldn't make out what they said. "Sorry about that what's up?"
"Um you remember that song you let me listen to? And how you said it was for a show?"
"Oh yeah. What about it?"
"It wouldn't happen to be for "A Pirates True Desire," would it?" It got really quiet on the other end of the phone. "Hello?"
"How did you know that?"
"Uh well I went to see if the new episode was up but DarkAngel03 said that it was going to be delayed."
"What?! Hang on a second..." he seemed to be typing something on a computer. "Holy shit...I can't believe it this is really happening."
"Congrats Heat." This confirmed he was Captain Jack.
"Hey Y/N, do you remember that night when we went to the cafe I told you I had something I wanted to talk about with you?"
"Yeah."
"I actually wanted to ask if you'd sing a duet with me."
"Huh?"
"I have a song for the opening theme for the show, the one you heard is meant for the credits. But I want to send DA03 the opening theme too. What do you say?"
"Um well, I mean I'm being put on leave from work early and I don't take my trip to New World Island for another 3 weeks so...I don't see why not."
"Really? Yes!!!" He yelled it was so loud and sudden you had to move the phone away from your ear. "Sorry got excited. Hey breakfast at Shakky's at 9 tomorrow morning? Then I'll take you to get a new bike?"
"Sounds good to me. I'll see you then."
"See you then Y/N. Good night."
"Good night."
You'd finally found a guy you vibed with and he was the main character from your show.
"Why????"
