87 Snuggling with Mommy

I don't remember when was the last time I felt so battered... when my eyes opened I didn't even know where I was, only one thought remained in my brain, I wanted my mom to be okay. 

There was a white ceiling and due to the scarce light around me, I could tell it was the evening or at least after dusk. I checked my body once my consciousness was fully back in, there were bandages all over my body.

'I think we overdid it'.

It is always like this every time we meet back... I wonder what it is... resentment over not seeing each other for so long? the thrill of fighting someone in a real fight we can enjoy? I don't know what it is, maybe it is both but we always end up giving it our all and either of us ends up injured, most of the time it is me. 

"Heso~ my god, you have woken up".

"..."

Being addressed like that I immediately knew where I was. The curtains were cast aside and a beautiful black-haired girl with wings and antenna shaped hair greeted me with their characteristic two-finger expression, I don't know who she was but she was a Skypean and I was her 'God'.

"Ugh, sorry... how did I end here?" I tried to stand up fruitlessly, the lady put me back on the bed with a pout.

"Please don't move my god, your body is not ready for it. After you hadn't returned to our lands for a week, Lady Primrose requested help in descending to the Blue Sea to look for you. They found you and your mother on the shore of an island, heavily injured... that's all I can tell you for now" The girl made sure everything was right, he saw many dials and devices that served as modern medical gadgets. 

"Both of us were heavily injured? How is my mom?!".

The beauty moved the curtain to my right-hand side away and I could see another bed where my mother lay, she was unconscious and was wrapped in as many bandages as I was. 

"Mom..." 

He never thought she'd be just as battered if not worse than him.

"She hasn't woken up yet, but she's stable... should be rising from her slumber soon, you see?" The beauty pointed at my mother's face and I had to resist the urge to curse out loud. 

She was smiling in satisfaction, I think she enjoyed the duel way more than I did, that battle maniac!

"Ugh-".

"My god, you shouldn't move!".

"Let me do this..."

I walked down from my bed and into hers, embracing her and covering us back with the quilt, I could only sleep comfortably like this.

"Where is the rest of my group?" I referred to my girls and Robin who should still be around Skypea, I had many other questions but I'm sure those could be answered later. 

"They should be in Angel Island, do you wish for me to call them? They left half an hour ago".

"No need... please just let them know I'm okay. You can retreat for now".

The beauty sighed, he wouldn't listen to anything she said. She could only wonder what those two went through to end up having such severe swells, the mother's wounds were mostly internal having been nearly scorched from the inside while he had a deep piercing wound on his chest. 

She thought they had fought a ferocious group of pirates together; if only she knew.

After the nurse left them Veyron snuggled against his unconscious Mom -without any wicked desires for now at least. Her arms wrapped up around his torso, for a moment he thought she had woken up but that wasn't the case.

"Veyron..."

"Mom?".

"Hmn, that hurt..."

Her eyes weren't open and she was mostly mumbling in a bit of discomfort; she was speaking in her sleep. He snickered and had both of their bodies levitate out of the bed, the discomfort disappeared right after when he erased the friction out of the equation. It was like slumbering on clouds. He waited for her eyes to flutter open about ten minutes later when she turned her head around.

She rubbed them cutely before rubbing his, her hands staggered. 

"Good morning".

"Morning".

Their eyes glared at one another for a bit before Mihawk realised her predicament and bandaged her body, she tried to twist but realised she couldn't since her whole body was floating together with his. Veyron put the two of them down and the pain was immediate. 

"Ouch".

"Sorry!".

"It is okay... worrywart".

After struggling a bit she got on her side, facing him... one of her legs lifted up and rested on top of him, and two slender hands started caressing his face tenderly in silence. It seemed she was recollecting every second of their previous 'date'.

"That was the best fight I've ever had" (Mihawk)

"I'm happy that you were satisfied..." (Veyron)

"I think we went a bit too far". (Mihawk)

"Yes... why do we always have to be like this?" (Veyron)

"I don't know... I only know whenever I'm with you, I want to give it my best" (Mihawk)

Her index finger trailed his lips for a few seconds before she approached it, his brows loosened expectantly and they touched... two pairs of dancing lips.  It started simply but slowly escalated, like two lovers that couldn't stay far apart, both pulled in.

When her hand started to unbutton his ragged shirt, though, he had to stop her by gripping her wrist. 

"We're in the infirmary... covered in bandages" He declared, recalling their current position.

Mihawk pouted, an odd expression to cover her beautiful countenance, she wished to continue heading down the rabbit hole. 

Veyron's lips curled up, "I missed you".

"Me too..."

"I thought you were angry at me".

"Only the first week, I hunted a few marines and let out my anger on them".

"H-How many?"

"Not many, Veyron... do you really want to talk about this or are you going to kiss me more?".

After spending so much time away from her son she didn't walk to talk about trivialities of how she sank a fleet of twenty ships or any nonsense like that. Seeing her this insistent he had to comply and take her lips again.

He struggled to get on top of her and she accepted it, helping him up and tasting that mouth that she missed for so long. 

"You've grown up and you're heavy too... with just eleven years. Are you going to be a giant?~"

"I hope not... am I eleven already?"

"How am I supposed to know as far as I know you're fifty~"

"..."

There was no quicker way to make him shy than to mention that detail, the secret only the two of them would ever know. 

"How about this...? Make today your birthday and then we don't have to be guessing".

"Isn't that a little rudimentary?"

"I never celebrated your birthday... sorry".

For a moment she showed true regret. After journeying through and experiencing the birthdays of a certain girl in the red-haired pirate ship, she noticed that birthdays were important for children like Veyron. He caressed her hair and laughed a bit.

"You know I don't care about those things".

"Still we should celebrate your birthday" She started pecking him, before Veyron knew her bandaged arms were wrapping his neck. 

"How?".

"Make love to me".

*BAANG!*

"Dracule Veyron".

The boy flinched and Mihawk gritted her teeth harshly at the sudden interruption, things were starting to get interesting. That was Primrose's voice. A few loud steps resonated in the room, the curtain opened abruptly and a crying woman lunged at him.

"HAAAAA!!"

Both he and Mihawk screamed in pain together when the beauty who was indeed very gorgeous but still heavy, jumped on them as if they were her mattress! 

"HEY! WHAT DO YOU THINK YOU'RE DOING, COW!?".

"SHUT UP YOU IRREPONSIBLE MOTHER! HOW CAN YOU DO THIS TO YOUR CHILD!? I WILL KILL YOU!"

They hadn't even been introduced yet Primrose and Mihawk were already having a row at each other. In the meantime, while Veyron tried to stop them he was pulled away by the sobbing Hancock, Sandersonia and Marigold. 

"Darling, I was so worried!".

"Little brother don't worry us like that again! When we found your body like that-".

"We thought your injuries were way worse!"

The three snakes were crying like never before while hugging him between their bodies, unaware that he was being suffocated by the breasts and his swollen body pained all over. 

"H-Hancock! Girls, wait!".

Standing not far away was Robin who was hugging her elbow awkwardly, she wanted to check up on him as well but the infirmary had already turned into the next Ragnarok with Mihawk going as far as to take Yoru who was on the side to fight the Empress of Amazon Lily here and now. 

That was until all their bodies and the elements in the infirmary began to levitate under the influence of Veyron's Psychokinesis... this technique always worked to calm crowds down. 

"Everyone, can you calm down? We're okay, this but a scratch!" Said the young man wrapped from head to toe in bandages. 

"No, it isn't!".
