Yes. (I need to make Gokaiger icons if I'm going to keep making Gokaiger entries.)
------------
Marvelous-san had his arms crossed and a scowl on his face, which was a bad sign.
Gai knew that his captain wasn't upset at him, but rather at what had happened that day. He was disturbed at what had happened too, but he'd known that he was going to be rescued anyway, and his aunt really had meant well.
He himself had been sat down on the couch and commanded to go nowhere, which made him want to protest, but not while Marvelous-san was in that mood. He'd learned fast not to argue with Marvelous-san's commands. Ahim-san had told him shortly after they got back on board that it always took Marvelous-san a day or two to let an endangered crew member out of his sight. She'd shared a story of how she'd been kidnapped, and she'd ended up with Marvelous-san sharing her bed - though not in a sexual way, she'd protested - for the night, and then not permitted to leave the Galleon without someone with her for a few days after that. And there had been something else that the crew wasn't willing to talk about, but it had happened shortly before Gai himself had come on board, and Marvelous was still edgy about that.
Gai was personally glad that his tiny room and his equally tiny bed meant that he wasn't going to end up with sudden captain for the night.
But at least he'd been able to talk Marvelous-san out of doing something deadly to his aunt. He had the sense that Marvelous-san would have killed her if she hadn't been a close relative and Gai hadn't convinced him that he was safe and wouldn't go near her again, at least without somebody with him. Not that he wanted to; it would take him a while himself to walk into that house without a bit of fear. His aunt had meant well, but he hadn't liked being handcuffed to a headboard, no matter how well she'd treated him.
He remembered that brief glimpse of her, holding that stand of hers and pointing it in Marvelous-san's direction. Marvelous hadn't let go of him until they were just below the Galleon, and Gai suspected that he came close to sharing a rope with him.
There were worse things, he knew, and at least they'd come for him like a true team. He wished his aunt could see them, how protective they were, how well they took care of each other. He was lucky. He had good friends and he was fulfilling his dream, and he was sure he'd be more upset at his aunt if he hadn't been so tired and scared, not that he'd admit it to Marvelous-san or anybody else.
He wanted to take a nap, which wouldn't be surprising since he'd been drugged. The couch was inviting, but he thought briefly of defying orders and going to his own bed. Finally, he decided staying still was best, so he carefully put the tea he'd been drinking down, and lay down on the couch.
The couch was warm and comfortable, and as he closed his eyes, he knew he wouldn't be conscious for long.
