      the notion of watching a lover sleep had never been appealing to claude. after bellamy’s mom left him, he only felt longing for what could have been if she had chosen to stay. one night stands never amounted to more and claude never really wanted them to. he thought he could be happy with just bellamy in his life until a certain pirate made him realized he wanted more. watching her sleep was something he could do forever or at least until her eyelashes began to flutter as she opened her eyes. “finally awake?” he asked teasingly.

     “no chance. ain’t gonna let this go now.” nope, she’d brought this onto herself now. “so, claude, eh?? were ye gonna say ‘ave a crush on ‘cause that’s pretty cute. do i gotta do the whole big bro thing an’ threaten this dude’s ass?? done it fer cj.”

     sifting through all the paper on his desk, he finally found the one he wanted. writing out his ideas helped the captain and he never feared anyone seeing them because even he could admit his handwriting was terrible. it all looked like chicken scratch and doodles, none of it actual complete sentences. a pure mind dump. shaking his head, he crumpled up another piece of paper, throwing it across the room at the same time someone knocked before entering. “what do ye need, eden?” he questioned, not bothered by his crewmate’s presence, he was just frustrated with himself at the moment.

      “ I expected to find you at the mermaid lagoon or one of the bars in town,” Eros started, fingers brushing over the pictures of the available designs one could request to have painted on their face. “Not here doing charity work.” It was mostly teasing and some slight concern that his drinking buddy was going soft for a certain art teacher.

       “all this bad weather -- it’s making people a tad grumpy,” he remarked to the tech wizard. clyde had to admit that this move by the villains if they were in fact behind it was the best thing they had come up with so far. it almost made him want to add his own dark magic into the mix but he held back, watching and waiting for the perfect opportunity to reveal himself.
