Ivy awoke shivering. The blanket that had been covering her had fallen away, leaving her bare skin exposed to the cool air. She rolled over towards Pain only to find him looking over at her, already holding up the blanket for her to crawl back in.
She pressed herself against him, craving his warmth as he wrapped his arms around her to facilitate the process.
“Sorry to wake you,” she said softly. “I must have rolled over in my sleep.”
“You’re cold.”
“The blanket ran away?” she said. She propped herself up a little and gave him a teasing smile. “Unless you’re a blanket hog.”
He laughed as he pushed her onto her back, playfully pinning her to the bed.
“A blanket hog?” he asked her as he kissed her soundly on the mouth.
“Yes. A blanket hog,” she said as she wrapped her arms around his neck.
They kissed deeply and passionately for a few minutes, Pain’s fingertips tracing the curves of her body.
“Mmmmm…” he growled. “We need to get up. We have some things to get done this morning.”
“I know,” Ivy sighed. She knew he was right and if they stayed where they were, she knew they would get distracted. So, she slid out from underneath the covers, retrieved her own clothing and started to dress.

Isahiah lied sprawled on one of the lounging area couch, squeezing the bridge of his nose to combat his pulsing headache, when the shrill call of the tea kettle he had left on the stove a handful of minutes prior startled him. He got to his feet and walked over to the kitchen range, his baggy eyes and slouched demeanor testaments to a night bereft of sleep, when he became conscious of another presence in the room. "Who's there?" he asked drearily as he killed the burner and helped himself to the dish cupboards.

Pain's Bunk
From his bed Pain watched as Ivy got dressed and coyly commented as she slipped on her panties, "Well now ain't that a pretty sight to see." A topless Ivy turned to face Pain. He smiled and said to her, "And that ain't a bad sight neither."
Ivy smiled, picked up one of Pain's shirts, and threw it at him, giggling as it covered his face. "Get dressed, blanket hog."
"Make me, shirt thrower." replied Pain, pulling the shirt from his face and sticking his tongue out at her, as he got out of bed and stretched.
They stared at each other for what seemed like forever, before Ivy jumped into Pain's arms, wrapping her arms around his neck and her legs around his waist, their tongues probing each others' mouths. Pain sat Ivy down on his desk and hands started to explore their bodies as they continued to passionately kiss.
Pain pulled his mouth away from Ivy's and rasped, "This is really really fun, baobei, and I really do enjoy it, but we're gettin' each other distracted from what we need to be doin'. Besides.." He gave her a wink and a devilish smile before continuing, "We've got that whole shower thing to address. We can continue the fun in there."
"Mmmmm." Ivy moaned, as she admired Pain's body. "I'd like that."
Pain gave her one last kiss before unwrapping her arms and legs from around him. As he got himself dressed, he smiled and said, "I hope you like your showers hot and steamy, cause that's the way I like mine." He picked up the shirt she had dropped earlier when she had lustfully jumped into his arms. As he handed it to her, he winked and commented, "Oh and I like to use hot water in my showers too. I hope that's alright with you."

"Hot shower?" she asked. "I like hot."
She gave him a long kiss and quickly started up the ladder. About halfway up, she suddenly stopped. Pain looked up at her to see her gripping the rungs with her eyes closed and forehead touching the metal.
"Bao bei? You OK?" he asked.
She opened her eyes and looked down at him.
"Remind me that for now, slower is better."
"Slower was definitely better last night," Pain commented with a wistful look on his face.
Ivy poked him in the chest with her foot.
"I meant when going up the ladder. Got a little dizzy is all."
"You're fine now though?"
"I'm good," she said as she finished climbing up to the foredeck.
Pain embraced her once he got up there, picking her up and kissing her deeply while he moved closer to the galley. It was almost a replay of the previous night, just in opposite direction.
They crossed the threshold into the galley, stumbling a little and giggling softly when they heard:

Pain set Ivy down on the floor and they both looked at him like they had gotten caught with their hands in the cookie jar.
"Um... Sorry," Ivy said. "We didn't mean to bother you. Just came for some breakfast."

Isahiah turned towards the couple and gave a tired smile. "It's quite all right," he said. "I had a rough night, and it's impacting my mood."
He examined the content of the cupboards, frowning as he found that most of the china had been nicked and chipped through extended use and perfunctory handling, and eventually pulled out a relatively intact-looking teacup. Its inner walls were besmirched with the tawny stain of coffee, and a crack snaked down its brim all the way to its base, but he decided it would have to do, and poured himself a cupful of tea.
He brought the cup to his lips and took a lengthy sip from it. "Would you fancy some tea? If so, have at it. There's water aplenty," he offered.

"I could go for some tea." replied Pain with a smile. He turned to Ivy and asked, "You want some tea, baobei?"
"Yes please." Ivy replied. With a smile to both Pain and Isahiah, she added, "Thank you."
Pain procured two mugs, one for each of them. Both were chipped and were white with a faded Blue Sun logo emblazoned on them. While Pain poured some tea into them, he asked Isahiah, "So. Are we early to breakfast or are the three of us late to the breakfast club?"

"I wouldn't know," Isahiah said. "I haven't been on this ship long enough to fully grasp its day-to-day procedures. Although..." Tiny ridges surfaced at the corners of his weary eyes has he smiled. "...I don't suppose it would cause too much of a commotion for us to get things started here while everyone else is still in bed. We'll call it... preparatory measures. Plus, I'm absolutely ravenous."
He drew another sip from his cracked mug. "So what are we having?"

Ivy took a few sips of her tea and set it down. She moved to stand next to Pain. He wrapped his arms around her as he seemed to be thinking about what he should make.
"Yes, darling," she said as she slid her hand behind Pain's body and gave him a subtle grope, a move that Isahiah wouldn't be able to see. She flashed him a smile as he looked down at her. "What exactly did you have in mind? and what can I do to help."

Pain appreciated what Ivy was doing and made sure in his mind that he would return the favor as soon as possible. He looked down at her, smiled and said, "Well you could assist me with food preparation, honey. It's always nice to have an extra set of hands."
He looked up at Isahiah and said, "I'm afraid we'll most likely be havin' protein and the like, but I'll do my best to spice it up."
He gave the man a nod and a grin before leading Ivy over and into the pantry. Making sure they couldn't be seen, Pain lifted Ivy up and pinned her to the shelves. His hands slid their way underneath her shirt as he kissed her, finding their way upward and stopped.
Giving Ivy a gentle rub and squeeze, Pain whispered into her ear, "You are a very naughty girl, baobei." His eyes drifted over to a can on the shelf and he asked, "Can the very naughty girl please hand me that can of beans? I'd be ever so grateful if'n you would."

"With a bit of convincing, I might think about it," she whispered.
Pain smiled as she leaned in and proceeded to take possession of his mouth, their tongues mingling together in a savage dance while their hands wandered over each other's bodies. When they parted, Pain leaned his forehead against hers.
"Well, Tommy," he said. "It's nice for you to come by."
"Couldn't be helped," she said as she kissed him again.
That's when they heard a knock on the pantry door. A voice drifted through the door. It was River.
"Save it for the shower," she said softly. "It's time you should be thinking about food."
