Chapter 9 - The Cruise (Pt. 3)

After Dream and Killer had received their slips, Bubbly looked down at her list before calling out, "Sci and Fell."

"Really? I'm stuck with that nerd?" Fell yelled, throwing his arms into the air, "Oh come on!"

"Ouch," Sci mumbled.

"It's alright, Fell has a hard time showing happiness!" Blue assured Sci, patting his shoulder.

"I'll do it alone, I don't need this nerd!" Fell said, crossing his arms.

"You have to do it together," Bubbly said at the same time Sci said while grabbing the slip of paper,

"We have to do it together."

"Well I ain't doing that bullish*t!" Fell said.

"Blue, are you on the main deck?" Edge's voice called from down a hall.

"Yeah, come on over!" Blue yelled to his Fiancé.

"Let's get f*cking going then!" Fell suddenly said with a sudden desire to work with Sci, grabbing his sweater and running off into another hallway with Fell practically flying behind him.

"Fell!" Sci yelped as the door slammed shut behind them, "Slow down!"

Fell screeched to a stop, Sci slamming face first into Fell's back before falling to the floor.

"Fine nerd, can't handle anything with that weak body of yours?" Fell growled, his red eye glowing softly, "Well, I changed my mind, let's just get the stupid assignment over with. What does the d*m slip say?"

Sci sighed, opening the slip before reading it out loud, "Anchor. She wants us to bring her a full on anchor?"

"What the f*ck is wrong with this d*m captain?" Sci demanded, "How in the ever loving sh*t do we find an anchor and bring it back to her?"

"Well, it should be easy to find it," Sci said, standing up, "Because on ships like these, it's usually on the side of the ship. We just have to look on both sides and find it."

"Of course the knowledge freak would know that!" Fell said, rolling his red eye, "Anything else freak?"

"Stop."

"Hm?"

Sci crossed his arms, glaring at Fell to the best of his ability, "If we're going to finish this," He said firmly, "I want respect."

"What freak?" Fell asked, looking rather confused.

"If we're going to work together like this, I don't want you to be rude to me!" Sci said, throwing his arms next to his body, "I'm getting sick of it, I've only met you yesterday and all you've done is yell at me and be rude!"

Fell broke out into laughter, "Oh please," He said, rolling his eye, "You're being a bab-"

"Stop it!" Sci suddenly yelled, "All throughout high school I was bullied, and I didn't get this job just to get more bullied! I can't stand it Fell!"

Silence.

Sci breathed heavily, watching Fell with a uncertain expression. Fell might laugh at him, or yell back, or do something to hurt him. But he didn't expect what Fell did next.

"Which side of the ship do you want to look on?" Fell asked, a bored expression on his face.

"What?" Sci asked, raising his non existent eyebrows.

"I ain't ganna cushion you, but I ain't ganna be a jerk if it bothers you so d*m much. But I still will call you nerd, if it won't bother you," Fell said, crossing his arms as he frowned, "So, which side should we look on first?"

"Um, it won't bother me..." Sci said, caught off guard, "And... The left... The left side..."

"Let's get going then, nerd."

Fell started to walk towards Sci, who shrunk back a bit in fear, scrunching his eyes closed. He was pressed against the wall, his bones shaking in fear. He was afraid Fell had just tricked him so he could neat him up.

Many bullies did it within high school.

However, he felt no punches, no stings from slaps, no insults hurled in his general direction. Instead, a soft bone hand rested on his cheek, wiping away a few tears threatening to spill, which he didn't know he even had in his eye sockets with his thumb.

"No need to cry nerd," Fell said quietly, wiping away the tears softly, "We're already surrounded by salty water, if you make more we might sink the ship."

And at that moment, when Sci looked up into Fell's reassuring sockets, he knew one thing.

Fell was an equation the math loving male was determined to solve.

~~~~~~

"It ain't here."

Fell leaned against the wall, picking between his golden tooth and another tooth with a toothpick. Sci sighed before climbing up from looking underneath the bed, not wanting to miss any spot. Sure, it was extremely unlikely for a captain to leave an anchor underneath a bed, but he wanted to check everywhere. He wanted to be thorough on his searching, so he could get this over with.

Sci was confused by Fell. Fell didn't act like he expected at all. The reason he became an Accountant was to avoid being near people, because he could often predict their behaviors so easily. In high school, everyone was so directed by their social roles that they were way to cliché for him to even have to second guess his predictions on how they would act, he was always spot on. He knew when the bullies would show up, where they usually stalked, when they were or weren't in the mood to attack him, and even when they would get their food. In the Office, it took longer, but he could still usually figure out how some days will turn out.

But Fell, he was different.

He was inconstant, always acting different. One moment he wouldn't care, the next he got angry at anything and everything. And then he hated Sci the next, and the moment after that he was being pretty darn nice to him, even comforting him a bit. Not to mention Sci couldn't decide how he felt about Fell, either. He didn't know of he was angry by him, afraid by him, or if he was attracted by him.

Either way, he was going to try and figure Fell out.

"Next room," Fell said, opening the door and motioning for Sci to go through first, like a gentleman.

"Uh... Thanks!" Sci squeaked, rushing out of the room as he blushed a light green.

The next room over, however, held a small surprise for them.

Fell stood behind Sci as the skeleton opened the door, a flash of red and purple jumping at Sci from the darkness of the room.

Sci screamed and was knocked back by the small animal, running into Fell's chest, Fell wrapping his arms around Sci's chest to keep them both stable.

"Nerd, what the f*ck?" Fell demanded, his red eye glowing a bit, "It's just a cat!"

Indeed, it was just a red and purple, bubble themed cat who had jumped at Sci. It then glanced at Fell before using Sci as a staircase, walking up his chest before leaping onto Fell's shoulder with a small meow.

"He- Get off!" Fell said, trying to whack the cat off after he let go of Sci, but it simply hung on with it's claws digging into his sweater.

Sci turned around and tried to pry the cat off of his sweater, but the cat hissed and swiped at Sci, who yelped and backed away with his hands held up.

"Ok, so we're not getting that thing off of me that way, nerd," Fell said, grunting as the claws dug into his shoulder bones.

"You ok?" Sci asked, "I should've not tried to grab it, sorry Fell,"

"Let's just look for that stupid anchor," Fell said, starting to walk doen the hallway to the next door, "We can look on the other side of the ship now."

~~~~~~

"Just because I said I'd be nice to you doesn't mean I'm going to make a conversation, nerd."

Fell has shoved his hands into his hoodie pockets, every once in awhile glancing at the darn cat on his shoulder before looking straight ahead again. He was going at a very fast pace, to the point where Sci was jogging just to keep up next to him.

"The can you *huff* at least slow down?" Sci asked, out of breath.

"Sure thing nerd," Fell said, slowing his pace to a walking speed, which Sci happily slowed down to as well.

"Hey! In here!" A familiar voice suddenly shouted, banging on the door following.

"Killer?" Fell asked, approaching the door with confusion.

"And Dream!" Another voice shouted from the same door.

"Dream?" Sci asked, raising an eyebrow.

"The f*ck are you doing in there?" Fell asked, leaning against the door, snickering at Sci, who giggled back.

"I saw something shiny and dove in, I didn't think it would lock behind us!" Dream quickly explained, his voice muffled through the door, "Just unlock the door!"

"That doesn't sound believable," Fell grunted, "Are you sure you aren't doing something more... Intimate then that?"

"No!" Both Dream and Killer yelled at the same time.

"Actually, Dream likes shiny things," Sci defended him, smiling at Fell, "He once drove into a ditch because he saw a piece of metal in the grass."

"Holy Crap that's hilarious, who does something that stupid?" Fell laughed loudly.

"Just open the door!" Dream begged, more pounding on the door following.

"Fine!" Fell sighed.

The door unlocked with a small click, both Dream and Killer tumbling out from the darkness of the supply closet. Killer landed on his back with a thump, Dream landing on his chest with an 'oof'.

Fell leaned over them with a smirk, his sharpened teeth in the biggest grin they all had even seen on him, Sci blushing slightly.

"I thought you were loyal to Horror, Killer?" Fell asked, smirking at his coworkers.

"I am!" Killer shrieked quickly, pushing Dream off of him.

"You ok?" Sci asked Dream, helping him up from the floor as Killer leaped up on his own.

"Fine, thanks," Dream thanked his friend.

"Hey, that's the cat!" Killer said, pointing to the cat Fell was pretty annoyed by.

"Oh, I'll grab it!" Dream said, reaching for the cat.

"I wouldn't do that-"

Sci was interrupted by the cat standing up and hissing, like it did when Sci tried to remove it, swiping it's claws at Dreams approaching hands. Dream screamed and jumped back against Killer, who was knocked backwards onto his pelvis bones on the floor.

"We already tried to take the d*m cat off my shoulder," Fell growled, giving a glare to the cat, "It really likes me."

"Sorry!" Dream said, rushing to Killer to help him up.

"Then how are we supposed to take it to the captain?" Killer asked, standing up before dusting off his dull outfit.

"Maybe she'll accept a picture?" Sci offered, not noticing the glare Fell gave him.

Fell turned back to Dream and tried to protest him taking the photo, but it was too late, Dream had already snapped the photo and saved it.

And Fell wasn't a fan of photos.

"What the hell?" Fell yelled, pushing the camera back, "He said of the cat, not the cat and me!"

"Sorry," Dream apologized.

"Just shut the f*ck up and don't do that again!" Fell threatened before storming off.

"Wait, Fell!" Sci yelled, chasing after his partner, "Fell!"

They both disappeared from behind s corner, vanishing from the sight of Dream and Killer, Fell's teeth clenched in annoyance as he rushed off. The cat clung to his hoodie, meowing softly as the speed he was going.

"Fell! Stop!" Sci said, managing to grab his free shoulder and pulling him back.

Fell's reflexes kicked in and he elbowed Sci in the face, making the shirter skeleton fall backwards, his glasses clattered to the ground next to him.

"Sh*t, Nerd, ya scared me!" Fell said, turning around as he stopped.

"I can't see without my glasses, where are my glasses?" Sci panicked, waving his hands over the ground for his glasses.

Fell kneeled down and grabbed his glasses, handing them to Sci. His parnter eagarly took them and placed them back onto his face, them tilting at an angle against his Skull, because on of the pieces of tape wouldn't stick to his bone.

"Uh, you fine?" Fell asked, blushing because he somehow found the crooked glasses attractive.

"Yeah, what was that?" Sci asked, looking up at Fell, who helped him up from the floor.

"I'm just a bit... Camera shy, yeah..." Fell said nervously, tugging at the collar of his coat while glancing to the side, "I just hope they don't show it to anyone else. Now, into this room!"

Fell changed the subject as he rushed to the nearest door, flinging open it and turning on the lights.

He was right, the anchor was in there.

Duck taped to the ceiling.

"The f*cking hell?" Fell demanded, looking up at the ceiling, "What bull sh*t is this?"

"How did she even manage that?" Sci asked, following his gaze to the anchor taped to the ceiling.

"How should we get it down?" Fell asked, looking at Sci.

"We can use this to knock down some of the tape," Sci said, grabbing a broom in the corner of the room.

He then stood to the side, poking at some of the tape, pulling it off. It turned out, however, the ducktape was unstable, causing the anchor to unattach from the ceiling. And since Sci was poking only one side, the other was still stuck at the ceiling, making the anchor swing at an angle towards him.

Fell was quick to react though, grabbing Sci's waist and yanking him to the side, completely avoiding the swinging hunk of metal. Sci and him barely made it safely before the anchor swung and crashed to the ground rather loudly.

However, when Fell had pulled Sci, the force ripped the only piece of tape keeping his glasses to his skull, making them fall to the ground. And when the anchor fell, it landed directly on the glasses, shattering them instantly.

"Thank you so much Fell!" Sci said quickly, squinting his eyes due to his lack of glasses, "But I just lost my glasses, can you find them again."

"Well, they fell off where you were standing, and... Now their broken..." Fell said, scratching the back of his neck.

"Oh no," Sci said, "I can't see without my glasses, what are we going to do?"

"Do you have your phone on you?" Fell asked.

Sci nodded quickly, fishing into his pocket before pulling it out, holding it out in front of him, unable to make out Fell from the blurred colors.

Fell grabbed the light green phone before taking a photo of the anchor, not wanting to even bother to carry it. He then put it back into Sci's still outstretched hand, helping him guide it back to his pocket.

"What about my glasses?" The scientist asked.

"Do you have any extra glasses?" His partner asked.

"Yeah, but back at the Office, in my desk. I didn't bring any with me."

"Here, we can do this." Fell said, wrapping his hand around Sci's, causing Sci to gasp and blush, "I'll help you around the ship, and we can ask around for some extra glasses, and if they don't have any I'll just drive you back to the Office once we're done here and get your glasses. Does that sound good?"

"Yeah, it's perfect..." Sci mumbled, resting his free hand on his cheek as he looked down at the blur of hands, "Absolutely perfect..."
