You were scared to wake up. You remembered there had been a storm last night but you were lost in your headache and nightmare. "Antonio ... Antonio!"
It was a strange cabin with maps all over the wall but well-organized, so were the books and notebooks on the bookshelf. You got off the bed and dashed out. You were on a strange ship which was smaller than SUNRISE or IRIS, capacity about fifty.
You pinched yourself, and it hurt. It wasn't your dream. Finally someone came into view.
The crimson eyes shone against white skin and silver white hair.
"Oh, you awake." He walked towards you.
"Wait! Where's Antonio? Is it your ship?"
He was startled, "He's in the kitchen. Ja, it is my ship-- The Awesome Hawk!"
(He helped us last night)
"...Good morning, sir. I'm--"
"(Y/N), right?" He smiled, waiting for your amazed expression.
"...Yes, Antonio told you .."
"Ja, and I remember it well, right? Absolutely it's Awesome me."
"Yea, yeah you are." Sweat on your face.
"Buenos días!" Antonio waved to you from behind. "Are you okay with your headache?"
Your memories last night flashed back into your mind, and you blushed, "Fine."
"Come and have breakfast." He led you to the kitchen.
------------------
Kirkland's side
Kirkland expanded his crew by conquering other pirates who headed for the Babeland. Another surprising thing was that he discovered that the SUNRISE had a secret room below. It was for missionaries. He got a book of symbols.
He looked up the pattern on your numbers in the book immediately and learnt something about it.
-----------------
You were having breakfast quietly, thinking about what had happened last night. Gilbert was busy directing his men to repair broken parts of the ship in the hurricane.
Antonio gave you a bottle of balm and added, "You can rub some on your temples when you feel headache. It will ease your pain."
"Thank you." When you touched his finger accidently, you felt abnormal heat. Staring up at his face, you couldn't find vigor in his green eyes. His lips were a bit too pale and dry.
"Are you all right, Antonio?"
He managed a smile to you, "I'm fine."
You didn't believe it and reached your hand to his forehead, which startled him.
It was like the heat of hot iron!
"My god, you’ve got a high fever!" You knew you were the one to blame. "Why didn't you say anything?"
"It's okay, Señorita. Fever is quite common on the sea. Taking some rest is enough..."He now had difficulty to speak. Also his sight went blur, breath went heavily.
"It's my fault." You were so worried, "Let me help you back to the cabin."
He smiled and nodded.
"What's wrong? Did he catch a fever?" Gilbert came across you.
"Yea" You twisted your eyebrow in guilt, "I'll get some hot water, would you please?"
"—Okay." Gilbert helped Antonio back to the cabin.
"Gracias." Antonio said weakly, lying down with one arm on his forehead.
"I was wondering why didn't you come down after last night's nightmare." Gilbert said teasingly, "After all, you are a human."
"I must get well as soon as possible." He closed his eyes.
"Well, it takes time. Tell me about your adventure later." Gilbert was to leave when you came in.
He smiled to you, which made you bewildered.
Antonio was almost unconscious at that time but he still tried to thank you with a smile.
---------------------
The humid weather hung in air before the sun came out. A few hours later, the fever remitted. You gave a sigh of relief. He had to eat something after waking up, you thought. So you went to the kitchen to make some food.
The crew liked to see sun after continuous cold weather but when it started burning, the sailors began to complain.
You went back to the cabin to check on Antonio but there was nobody to be seen. You searched around and finally found him on top of the forecastle.
"Antonio?" You called him gently.
He turned to you with his usual shinny smile "Hola, Señorita"
"Do you feel better now?"
"Surely I do, thank you very much for taking care of me." He walked up to you.
"Please don't say that. You've risked your life to take care of me." Your tears were struggling again.
He took you in his arms. You hugged him tightly.
He grinned and patted your back.
"Oh right, I made you some food." You released him and dragged him to the kitchen.
"Si?" Antonio was surprised.
Unfortunately, the hungry albino Captain had had your mashed potato. One crew member told you that Captain was having dessert on the quarter deck.
You both laughed and didn't know why.
Antonio liked your tomato soup a lot. Actually it was you secretly learn from him yesterday.
----------------
"How's the potato?" Antonio asked in laughter, sitting down on the chair.
"Special, something exotic." The Prussian spoke well of it.
You giggled."Danke, Captain."
"Oh, you made it?!"He was embarrassed.
You nodded.
"Now, it's time to tell you."
Gilbert took a sip of beer, "Go ahead."
You looked at Antonio and he nodded to you"(Y/N), Gilbert will lend us a hand." And then you told him about the situation, which almost choked him. But he was totally aroused by your miracle. "That's super awesome!" He stood up and leaned to you with hands on the table, "Leave it to awesome me! I assure you that we'll get the three numbers!"
"There's one more thing-- we have to maintain a good relationship with Mr. Kirkland until we get all the pieces of the CLOCK." You were glad he'd help you.
"I see. But I have one question." Gilbert sat back on his chair. "Which side will you stand for--by the time you fix the CLOCK？You know we are rivals."
You were now in a dilemma. Antonio didn't step in. Actually he was the one who wanted to know most.
"..."You hesitated and continued, "I will leave then."
"You mean you will go back to your world and leave us like nothing happened?" Gilbert was a bit indignant.
"No, I don't mean in that way!" You hated being contorted, and defended for yourself, "By that time I would have disappeared with the CLOCK. No, I don't want to see you killing each other for some so-called supreme treasure."
"......" They didn't say anything.
"Captain, the fog is thickening and there's something in it from the north." Some crewmates reported. Gilbert excused himself to check it out.
You heart still beat fast. Antonio stood up and leaned on the railing, messy brown hair flowing in the hair.
"You love him. Si." He said these words as if he was talking to himself.
"..." You were shocked, heart beating faster. You couldn't deny it. However, you could not deny that you like Antonio, either.
You didn't hear the footsteps .Then you felt strong arms around you from behind, and you heard a gentle voice whispering, "Te amo."
Before you got it across, Gilbert's loud voice interrupted you. "Toni, we’ve got problems!"
