《Only you can make me feel better... (Calamity x Drift)》Chapter 7: Almost the first kiss
Advertisement
I slowly woke up and finally heard the rain was over. I also had a weird dream. I saw Rodas again and this time he was standing in front of our house. It was creepy though. I opened my eyes and sat up. I saw Drift wasn't next to me. Deadfire and Raptor were snorring. I giggled at Raptor because he was laying in a weird position. He was on his stomach with one arm and one leg off the couch.
I stood up and walked around the house and just opened a door because I heard some voices coming from there. As I opened the door I saw Drift talking to John and Sunstrider and Technique were making breakfast. I greeted them. They all said goodmorning and then John walked towards me. John asked looking at me with a serious face. I said crossing my arms over my chest. John said and walked out of the kitchen. I looked at Drift and walked towards the living room.
I walked towards Deadfire and gave him a playful slap on his face. I said and he jolted up from the slap I gave him. He yelled with a fake sad face. I commanded. He whined. I teased and put my arms on my chest. Drift was enjoying this moment because he was laughing so hard.
Deadfire immediately stood up and looked around. He is so stupid sometimes. I said and walked towards Drift. He was cracked up by now because he was laughing so hard. Deadfire groaned and walked towards a door and noticed it was the bathroom. He got in and locked the door. I couldn't help but burst out laughing too like Drift was. Because of us laughing so hard, Raptor woke up.
Raptor is also stupid sometimes I noticed. Drift said between his laughter. Raptor immediately sat up and looked at us with heart eyes. I heard Deadfire yell from the bathroom. I cracked up even more and got tears in my eyes. Drift also go tears in his eyes as I looked at him. Raptor said annoyed and walked to a different bathroom. We finally stopped laughing and looked at each other. I said giggling. Drift said wiping away a tear. Then the rest of the team came in the living room including Deadfire and Raptor. Now we were all complete and sat at the table. Sunstrider and technique made delicious bacon and eggs and there were also these soft bread buns.

We enjoyed our breakfast so me, Deadfire, John and Drift went out towards the secret base. We went down with the elevator and I stared at the base in awe. It was big and there were computers all over and also other stuff that I didn't understand. But it looked interesting. We followed John to a computer room. John walked to the computer and opened his notes. Phone numbers then popped up on the screen. We did as John asked us and we also added the phone numbers on our phone from the other team members.
I dont know why but I was kind of happy I got Drift's number. John asked looking at us. I said looking at Deadfire but he also shaked his head no. John said. We walked back to the big house and said our goodbye's to everyone. They all said goodbye back so me and Deadfire were making our way to the door. Drift was walking behind us. When we were outside the house I gave Drift a hug. I said with a calm/soft voice. I felt Drift hug me back. He said with a sweet voice and broke and hug.
We looked at each other but what I didn't notice, is that we were slowly leaning in for a kiss. I still didn't have my bandanna on because I didn't feel like wearing it and I noticed Drift also didn't have his mask on. His lips were so full, that they looked very good. When we were centimeters away Deadfire coughed. We pulled away and I blushed like crazy. Deadfire said walking towards me. I asked with a confused face but Deadfire grabbed my wrist and pulled me along. I looked back at Drift and he is as confused as I am. I just gave him a smile and waved. He waved back and walked back inside.
We were 5 minutes away from our house but the way home was silent until Deadfire broke the awkwardness. Deadfire asked sounding awkward. I looked at Deadfire not understanding what he was referring to. Deadfire noticed my face expression. He said sounding like it was obvious what he said. I said looking away because I felt like I was blushing. Deadfire said trying to make things less awkward. I didn't know what to say so I remained silent. We arrived at our house and went inside. I went to the kitchen to get some water and Deadfire went up to his room. When I was drinking some water, my phone buzzed. I picked it up and saw it was a message from Drift.

I slided the message to unlock it and read what he sent. Drift said with a laughing emoji. I replied back smiling at the screen. I received another message. Drift asked. I replied. Drift asked. I was getting kind of excited now. It kind of felt like a date to be honest.
He said. I said. He said. I said bye back and put my phone away. I felt like butterflies were flying in my stomach. I walked upstairs to Deadfire's room and knocked on it. I heard so I opened the door and saw him at his desk on his computer. I asked just to make sure. He turned around and faced me. He asked. I suggested. He said and grabbed his phone. I said and closed the door.
I walked to my room and just sat on bed. I usually wear my pajamas like comfy clothes when I don't have anything to do but now I was just exhausted and wanted to lay down. I got my laptop and turned it on. I laid down in a comfy way and started watching Netflix. I was really enjoying my series that I didn't notice it was already 22:37. I felt like my eyes were getting heavy and tried to keep them open. But I was very tired so I just gave up and fell asleep with my laptop still on and without changing into my pajamas.
I was sort of waking up. I could hear my surroundings and feel stuff but I couldn't open my eyes. I was like sleeping but then again not. Then I thought I heard a faint sound of glass breaking. But I wasn't really awake, so I couldn't think about it. I also thought I heard some footsteps walking in my room, then the sound of my door opening. The other footsteps were coming closer to me. When I felt like a finger was caressing my cheek, I was opening my eyes very slowly. When I got a sort of clear vision, I saw a man with a mask in front of me, and realized it was someone that broke into our house. My eyes shot open and wanted to scream for help. But he noticed what I wanted to do and immediately pressed a white cloth against my nose and mouth.
With his other hand he held my wrists so that I couldn't escape. I still tried to scream. But I didn't even bother holding my breath, because of experience, I knew it was useless. I was trying to break free from his grip though, but he was super strong. I noticed the chloroform was taking over me and making me feel weak, which caused me to struggle less. From the corner of my eye, I saw another man holding Deadfire, who was unconscious. The man walked towards the broken window and was staring at me and the man who had the cloth pressed against me. I was really anxious now and started crying. I was starting to lose my vision and fast enough, I completely stopped struggling and also didn't make any sound. Only my anxious breathing could still be heard. I was closing my eyes by now. When they were almost closed, I could hear the man chuckle a little. He whispered and then, everything was dark...

Shaman
*** Let's get this clear now: the MC is a trans woman. This is not a gender-bender. It's set in a fantasy world but the exploration of identity and gender is reality-based. Not a joke, not a kinky turn-on. If this is a problem for you, please just act like an adult and look elsewhere for something to read. *** Rating breakdown, since that should be public info: 2 x 5*, 1 x 4.5*, 1 x 3*, no reasons offered. A human shaman and healer returns from several years with the mysterious shyani, accompanied by her shapeshifting puma best friend. A valued friend, from her previous identity as a male student physician, has acquired an old shyani book, and extremists will not tolerate its presence in human hands. But back in human lands, the question arises: which world does she belong in? Generations ago, human explorers found a continent inhabited by an utterly alien culture of shapeshifting weyres and the shyani, humanoids who prefer dusk and dawn. A truce of sorts was eventually reached: humans claimed the rich lowlands, and the shyani and weyres retain the highlands. Along the border, practicality often rules, but on either side, old grudges linger in some hearts. As a student physician, Corin tried to take his own life, unable to bear the countless tiny wounds inflicted over twenty-one years of lying to himself in order to be, or pretend to be, socially acceptable. At the last improbable instant, intervention came, in the form of a spirit fox, who led him away from the existence he’d known in the lowlands and into the highlands. There, a puma weyre rescued him, and a shyani shaman helped him find his true self and offered a rebirth, a life with no more lies, and an important role to fill. Now a shaman and healer in her own right, Vixen who was once Corin learns that the one human who mattered to her in her previous life, then a fellow University student, has come into possession of an old shyani book, and the more fanatical shyani and weyres will stop at nothing to reclaim it and punish Jared. Even though it means going back into the lowlands and facing Jared as a woman, she can’t bear to just look the other way. This should be a short visit, just long enough to see the book into the proper hands and make sure Jared will not be killed for having it, and then she can return to the shyani community that has accepted her as their shaman. And, of course, her feline best friend Dayr insists on coming with her. But Jared is now a Lord, with considerable wealth and power, and his response to her presence isn’t one she expected. After years living with the shyani, she sees everything around her from a new perspective, and that makes it difficult to keep to the plan of making as few waves as possible. As an honoured guest in a highborn house, with only Jared aware that she has ever been anyone else, Vixen finds herself questioning where she belongs: with Dayr and the shyani, who accept her gender without question but have to make allowances for her differences, or with humans, in the culture she grew up in even though her past would mean a major scandal? *** Trigger warning: there are scenes of Vixen's previous life, which include some difficult moments and culminate in an (obviously unsuccessful) attempt at suicide before she finds her true self and a better life. Please be careful! This is the ONLY reason for the "Traumatising Content" tag.*** Complete stand-alone novel, 96K words. Also available on Scribble Hub and as a free ebook.

Kingdom of Ice
"170 years ago, in a world where humans have evolved such that they could live on the ocean floor, and form cities there, Commandant Franklin led a hunting party on a reconaissance expedition north, traveling from the outer edge of the Indian Ocean, all the way to the High Arctic. His goal: to find the fabled Northwest Passages for the Vicegerent of Tridention, and establish business with underwater arctic cities there. But the expedition went awry, and they never returned. Everyone in the party was presumed dead. Until now. When two of the hunters from that same expedition find their way back to Tridention after all these years, Watson, a retired commandant for one of Tridention's thirty-five hunting parties, agrees to help those hunters form a ragtag party of their own, against their leadership's wishes, and travel all the way back to the same Northwest Passages to recover the rest of the hunting expedition. The hope is that their commandant, and other hunters, are somehow still alive and can be brought back home safely. "
