Warmth

chapter 5: " I don't drool "

" how far are they? " Kanan asked quietly while pretending to listen to music with his eyes closed.

" a few rows away, not too far " Leon said, he was probably panicking more than Kanan who was the one in the airplane while he was sitting at the office watching everything happening around Kanan in the airplane with the aid of over fifty cameras planted all over Kanan's body.

it was world war three when Sam insisted on an extra camera being planted on Kanan's boxers. Kanan couldn't help but shudder when he remembered that they could probably see inside his jeans back at the Abyss.

it had being a week since he had that argument with Sam but Sam finally gave in the days later after raining fire and brimstone on the whole office for what seemed like forever.

Even Kanan got his fair share of the unending nagging.

Kanan leaned back in his chair while stealthily taking a look at his targets. they where ten on the plane, scattered all over the economy, business and first class but only three who carried the actual or rather, what they wanted him to believe was the actual package and they sat just a few rows away from him in the business class.

the business class was a smart choice for them, scanty enough to keep their eyes on everybody but rowdy enough to stop anyone from noticing their odd movements. but what they didn't realise that this was an even better choice for Kanan, they were so busy watching others that they didn't realise they were being watched. According to their plan, there was supposed to be two more exchanges, one which had already happened and due to their underestimation, they didn't realise anyone from the Abyss would find out.

they were in for a big surprise.

" sir, why did you choose to follow this team when you know they are just serving as a decoy and the dragocjen is actually with the special forces?" sometimes, even Leon with the 130 IQ score can't keep up with is boss's mind.

"why ask? let's sit back, sip some champagne and watch the Lord get killed, " Sam said, his voice dripping with sarcasm as he plopped down on the chair beside Leon, he seems to not be paying attention but in fact, he was paying more attention than even Kanan himself.

" They're on the move " Sam told Kanan through the almost invisible ear pod in his ear, he was so keen that he noticed it first.

"I thought you were letting me commit suicide?" Kanan joked deciding to ruffle Sam's feathers a bit " it's a plan, they want to see who follows them, draw out their enemy from the crowd by acting suspicious, they're just going to the restroom, it's a smart move"

" don't be so overconfident you f**k face, keeping you f*****g eyes on them " Sam yelled, he was so worried that he felt he'd die from high blood pressure before Kanan even got off the plane.

" gee, chill mum " Kanan joked again, he sure was lucky he was miles away from Sam right now, he wouldn't dare do this if he was next to him or Sam might just shove the whole Abyss up his ass till it comes out of his mouth.

As expected, Sam wanted to yell again before suddenly one of Kanan's cameras went blank.

"yo!, Kanan, open your damn eyes, you're camera's blank dude, the one on your shoulder " Sam yelled, flying to the monitor at lightening speed once he noticed the oddity.

this sworn brother of his was gonna be the death of him.

kanan opened his eyes only to see a brown haired lady leaning on his shoulder, he wondered how he didn't even feel it when her head landed there but once he looked at the rest of her body, he understood.

the girl looked like she weighed as much as a pencil.

he had noticed the girl earlier, she had being crying at first when they boarded the plane but, he was to lazy to ask why, so he just sat in and treated the sobbing like music. [A/N: way to go Kanan, you just had to be a douche on the first meet with your female lead, I raised you better]

he would've left her head on his shoulder if she wasn't blocking the camera... oh, screw that, he just didn't want tears and snot all over his shirt in the first hour of the journey. he adjusted himself a little, but the brown haired shortcake didn't even stir, he tried it again but there was no reaction, she seemed to have been long gone.

so Kanan the last thing a gentleman would do in his situation he poked her forehead " shortcake, wake up" he whispered as he kept poking her. He just never dealt with a woman before, except his mum and she didn't even stay that long but now he had a crying pretty face seeking solace on his shoulder so he just.... poked her.

Astrid stirred a little, feeling like it was a dream, but when the poking didn't stop, she opened her eyes groggily "let me sleep a little, okay? " she whispered, adjusting her position before laying back down on his shoulder.

"what on earth is up with you man, now two cameras are blocked " Sam yelled so loud that Kanan felt like his ear drums were going to resign.

"chill out, I'm trying " he whisper-yelled back before returning to poke her head " lady, wake up! "

It seemed like all that crying and sobbing stressed her out a lot because she didn't seem to wake up one bit, but he really needed the two cameras she was blocking, they where at the best angle to the guy's he was tracking as they were sitting behind him and the cameras faced backwards.

finally, after spending 2 minutes getting annoyed while trying to be considerate and also wondering what weird creatures women where, he decided to transfer her head to his laps, after all, she looked like she really needed the sleep.

the transferring of her head must've made her quite uncomfortable coz she woke up mid-movement only to notice she was heading, cheek first for a stranger's genitals.

so she did what any lady would do "what the hell! " she whisper yelled, elbowing him in his stomach.

He let go of her immideately, wincing at the pain in his belly, it wasn't a lot considering she was just waking up but her little arms did pack a decent punch, plus he wasn't expecting it.

" what the hell where you trying to do you p*****t?! " She whisper yelled, trying not to drag attention, this plane was heading from Denmark to America so she wouldn't be surprised if she makes a fuss and her picture was plastered on the Internet as a certain Danish noble's daughter who was almost r***d on a plane so she planned to keep this quiet but still give the douche bag a peice of her mind.

" oh! your not dead or unconscious, " he observed, a little sarcasm dripping off words, he was just about to let her sorry head on his premium thighs and he was being accused of being a pervet?.

" what the?! " Astrid gasped, was he actually being rude to her after trying to take advantage of her on a plane? " you are supposed to be apologising and begging me not to report you to the damn police! "

" apologise? you must be a comedian, biggest joke of the century if you ask me. " he sneered, turning away.

" that's it! you would apologise right now, or I'll alert the hostess " Astrid may not have a prince's syndrome, but she did grow up as everyone's princess so an unapologetic r****t on a plane was pretty much a lot to swallow.

" again with that word 'apologise', if anyone's apologising, I think you should go first considering that you where snoozing and drooling very comfortably on my jacket and I was kind enough to transfer y..... to help you get comfortable " Kanan shot back, changing his words carefully so he doesn't sound like a p*****t again.

Astrid was momentarily flustered, she hadn't even noticed when she fell asleep, she wanted to drop it there but seeing his smug look, she wouldn't go down without a fight " i-i... umm, sleeping on your shoulder? you expect me to buy that? "

"enough proof for you? " Kanan asked, showing her the little wet patch on his shoulder that was actually from tears and not from drool but she didn't have to know that, did she?

" um.. I " Astrid had never felt so embarrassed in her life, she was so happy she didn't call the hostess or else this would all would have turned out to be a very big disgrace, not that it isn't already.

Kanan got up, and walked to the restroom obviously looking pissed off but her mouth was to embarrassed to listen to her right now so she just kept mum.

she didn't even know what to do, apologise? but he was leaving already!

"b-but.. I don't d-drool!"

unfortunately he was on gone.
