“Nino… Doesn’t that hurt you?” Matsu asked pointing at the tail that had been stuffed into one of the legs of the grey trousers, Nino spun round trying to look, until Matsu caught him by his shoulders not wanting him to get sick again.

“A little, Master, but when Nino tried to keep the tail out the tr-ou-ser-s fell off, Master” Nino murmured his cheeks flushing and Matsu smiled on Elzren they had worn toga type clothing so their tails could be free. Such clothing on board a space ship was impractical but he didn’t want the Feman to suffer

“Why don’t we cut a hole into them?”

“But they are Master’s…” Nino said looking horrified at the idea,

“So, it’s better than it hurting you” Matsu muttered, thinking who could be bothered by a pair of trousers or a few pairs of trousers since Nino couldn’t wear the same ones every day.

“Master is so nice to Nino” Nino purred with a smile, his eyes shining with adoration, and Matsu felt guilty, Nino was so sweetly innocent sometimes Matsu felt guilty for the thoughts he had about him. Giving a small cough he took out his knife and felt for the before cutting into the fabric and making a cut large enough to allow for movement but small enough to hide the Feman’s backside and then carefully pulled the tail through. Nino flicked it happily a few times running it over Matsu’s face, “Thank-you Master” He said with a smile, “Nino feels better”

“I’m glad” Matsu muttered getting up again, “Later we’ll do the same with some others…”

“That is too much Master…” Nino protested quickly “Nino is happy with these…”

“Nino…”

“Master is too good, to Nino, master never asks for anything, if Master wants anything…” Nino said almost breathlessly and Matsu blinked trying unsuccessfully to stop the images that sprang into his mind. He coughed pushing away the image of Nino moaning underneath him in his bed, to reassure the Feman

“You did enough, you helped on Elzren if it wasn’t for you we would never have been able to get home”

“But master brought, Nino with him, Magic man told Nino that it was against your rules, but Master still brought Nino with him” Matsu made a mental note to smack the doctor painfully later, Nino already had an inferiority complex without knowing about that.

Matsu stared at Nino’s large hopeful eyes, it would be against the law to take Nino back with him, but he suspected that being called a betrayer in one village meant that you were in all of them. How long would the Feman survive alone, blood was dribbling from the cuts on his face and taking his sleeve he dabbed them gently “Okay, Nino, you can come with us” He said there was a muttered whispering from his crew, Aiba gave a loud ‘Eh?’ but the Feman’s eyes shone,

“Thank-you Master!” He gasped breathlessly, excitement in his face “We should leave the village master” He said nervous looking around and Matsu noticed that the other Femen were circling the men. Matsu couldn’t agree more and they left the village quickly, only stopping when they reached a small clearing near a river that had crystal clear water with strange yellowy flowers that seemed to grow on the surface. Everything on Elzren was a lot like earth had been before technology, earth barely resembled anything like this now. Most of the surface, was covered by buildings, the few spots of green that were left were closely protected it cost money to gain a pass to visit them. Matsu looked at the Feman wondering if he knew what coming with him would mean. He never spent much time on any planet preferring to stay aboard the Arashi, he had earned the right to be the captain and he used his ship as his path of freedom. If Nino did come with him he might feel trapped. Matsu blinked when he felt Nino tugging at his arm and when he looked at him there was an excited glint in his eyes “Master… What does master need to make his boat fly?” Nino asked hoping around excitedly, “Magic…”

“I guess it flies by a kind of magic…” Matsu said thoughtful, wondering how to explain this to someone who had only just discovered how chariots worked. Nino was staring at him with interest, and Matsu thought of everything he had been told in the academy and knew that it would be too far over the Feman’s head. “But we don’t need magic…We would need metal…”

“What is m-et-al master?” Nino asked trying out the word the translator couldn’t translate. Matsu smiled taking his knife out of his pocket. It was an antique blade that he had won in a space port. Nino eyed it for a minute thoughtfully “We don’t have that master but... The others that came… They left things… Would that help, Master, Nino can show it to master…”

“You can?”

“Yes, Master, I didn’t like it, it hurt Nino but I will show it to master…”

“Nino it doesn’t have to be tonight, we can go tomorrow” Matsu smiled grabbing the Feman’s hand to stop him from running off.

“Sorry, Master”

“It’s okay, you were just trying to help” Matsu smiled “But you should rest…”

“Will Master sleep with Nino?” Nino asked

“I bet he’d like to” A voice came from the dark, and Matsu was reminded that they weren’t alone, he had been forgetting it a lot recently, ever since he had met the Feman, but he couldn’t help it he found Nino so bewitching it wasn’t fair. Growing up in spaceports and on spaceships innocence was something that you lost early, Nino had boundless innocence and there was so much wonder in his eyes. Matsu wanted to protect that to treasure it forever

“Who said that?” Matsu snapped glaring at the men, trying to recognise the voice, the men shuffled a little but none of them spoke up, Nino looked nervous wondering if he had done something wrong, luckily, Matsu thought not understanding the implication of what was just said.

“Master?” he whispered and the captain quickly smiled reassuringly, turning to him,

“It’s okay, Nino, come on” He said tugging his hand and led him a little way from the others, and they settled down, Nino snuggling up to his chest, “Nino, can I stroke your ears?” he whispered wondering if that was a strange request but they looked so comfortable it was almost impossible to resist. Nino didn’t seem to think it was strange, he just wordlessly nodded. Matsu brought his hand up and slowly stroked one of the ears, happy that they were a soft and silky as they looked. Nino started purring, his chest vibrating against Matsu’s

“That feels nice, Master” The Feman said sleepily, and the captain gave a smile, turning his attention to Nino’s other ear, pushing all his earlier doubts away as the Feman fell to sleep, knowing that he couldn’t let him go.

“Can I really keep you?” He asked, Nino didn’t answer just gave a light snore his purr’s continuing. Matsu hugged him tightly quickly falling to sleep. When he woke the next morning Nino was no longer next to him he sat up rubbing his eyes looking around, it was still early and most of his men were still asleep, suddenly he heard a light splashing in the stream and he noticed Nino’s yellow toga dis-guarded on the bank. Slowly he moved towards the water, gulping when he saw Nino in the shallow water surrounded by the yellow flowers, water was soaking his hair, causing it to cling to his face, the Feman’s eyes were shining happily as he poured the water over him, his tail flicking around causing ripples and Matsu was torn between disappointed and relieved that his complete vision of the Feman’s body was distorted.

“He’s cute ne?” Aiba asked softly in his ear, causing Matsu to jump spinning around with an almost blush in his face ashamed that he had been caught staring. He grabbed Aiba’s arm and pulled him away from the bank, the doctor gave a laugh “What only you’re allowed to look?”

“Shut up, was it you last night?”

“No, but you shouldn’t be too hard on the others, it was just a joke, in all the years we’ve known you you’ve never shown this much interest in anyone else… No-one even knew you swung this way” Aiba laughed not even looking apologetic when Matsu glared at him. “It’s not a bad thing, hell I’m bi, myself”

“It’s not like that” Matsu denied, though he knew it was pointless the doctor gave a loud laugh

“Well you were almost drooling just now…Are you really taking him with us?”

“If we can get the Arashi going” Matsu nodded, and Aiba chewed his lip worriedly about to open his mouth and say something when the water splashed and the Feman came to the bank, water running down his body. Matsu marched forwards grabbing the toga and wrapping it around him like a towel. “You shouldn’t walk around like that” He snapped more harshly than he had intended

“I’m sorry, master” Nino said softly, his ears flattening against his head “Is it wrong?”

“No… But people can see you… Naked” Matsu whispered, knowing he really meant ‘Other people can see you naked’ Matsu dried the Feman as quickly as possible, trying not to notice how fresh Nino smelt, and then attempted to do the toga. Nino giggled when he made mistakes

“Not like that master… That goes there” Nino told him holding his hands to show him how to wrap it. “Thank-you master” the Feman said looking up at him and that was when Matsu realised how close they were. He moved away quickly suddenly realising he was going to find it nearly impossible to keep his hands off of Nino the longer they were together.
