WARNINGS: Couple having an argument, bullying mention, bruises & other minor injuries.

WC: 2,257

"I told you to be careful!"

"And I told you that I'm fine!"

"Don't lie to me, Helmeppo! I warned you that going to fight your dead-beat dad was going to end one way or another and now look at you!"

It was just an ordinary day until Helmeppo came back from work, bruised and bloodied. Naturally, seeing him in that state sent Star into a panic, rushing for the First Aid kit and ordering him to sit down. Tensions grew high, however, when Helmeppo and Star went into the kitchen to eat. That was when this whole debacle began. Helmeppo had mentioned previously how the Marines had found the location of Axe-Hand Morgan and had begun to advance but needed his assistance; Star knew it was a bad idea and told him to not go, a bad feeling bubbling deep within her gut. But he didn't listen. He was determined to beat him and capture him for good.

"I am perfectly capable of taking care of myself, Star." Helmeppo spoke with a sigh.

"I know that! But what if something terrible happens to you and I'm not there? What if Coby comes to our door crying because he couldn't save you? Hell, what if I am there and I’m not able to save you? I can't lose you, Helmeppo." Star responded, the strain in her voice not stopping her from speaking confidently.

Helmeppo took a deep breath and sighed. "I can't lose you either, but you need to understand that Marine life is not all sunshine and rainbows, okay? I chose this. I am not backing down from my choice."

Star swallowed hard, trying not to let emotions rush over her like a tsunami. She bit her lip and took a breath before speaking.

"You are so stubborn, do you know that?"

"Marines do have to be stubborn to beat their enemies, Star. You and I both know that."

"Yes, but that doesn't mean you can't fear death! You're not a fucking robot, Meppo!" Star exclaimed, fists clenched as she placed the dirty plate in the sink she didn't realise she was standing next to as she desperately tried not to cry.

"Just because I fear death doesn't mean I can't be stubborn. That's how I was made to be. I can't be that annoying brat I was 2 years ago anymore, I've got to be stronger - the strongest I have ever been - to beat my opponents. You need to understand that and stop worrying about me." Helmeppo argued, brushing some blonde locks out of his face as he stood up. Star's eye twitched.

"Stop worrying about you?! How the hell can I not?! You're my boyfriend, Meppo. I care about you…" Star spoke, tears finally pricking her eyes. Helmeppo opened his mouth, a frown prominent on his face as he spoke.

"Well, maybe you just care too much."

The way he spoke sent a dagger straight through her heart, the coldness in his tone freezing her blood. She swallowed the lump in her throat, bottom lip trembling.

"You are just like your father…”

Helmeppo’s breath hitched, eyebrows furrowing as he looked her dead in the eyes with a glare that threatened to break every fibre of her being.

“Star, don’t you dare.” He warned, trying not to lose his cool there and then. His path was not to become like his father but to be stronger. They both knew that. Yet Star couldn’t help but see the resemblance of Morgan’s dream in Helmeppo. And in all honesty, she was scared that he might become like him in the future.

“...You’re too focused on becoming stronger than your dad to realise that what you’re doing is hurting those around you.” Star continued, chest rising and falling rapidly as she desperately tried to calm her heart rate down. She could see how angry he had become, and although she wanted to stop talking, she needed to speak her mind. Helmeppo’s eyebrow twitched, fists clenched.

“Shut up…”

“You don’t need to fight him to prove you’re stronger than him, Helmeppo! You’ve got us… You’ve got me.” Star softly spoke, a small, reassuring smile planted on her lips as she reached out to grab his hand, only for him to jerk away. She looked at him with teary, confused and concerned eyes.

“Well, maybe I don’t need you,” Helmeppo mumbled, looking her dead in the eyes. Star blinked, not quite hearing him but also not wanting to hear what he just said again.

“...What?...” Star queried softly, her voice straining as a tear fell down her face.

“I don’t need you,” Helmeppo repeated, louder this time. Star stopped breathing for a moment, allowing silence to overtake her briefly.

“...You…You don’t mean it, right? Meppo, please tell me you don’t mean it-”

“Leave.”

“W…What?! Helmeppo, please, I-”

“LEAVE!” Helmeppo barked, making her flinch backwards. She whimpered, finally allowing emotions to take over her body, small sobs escaping her lips and steam fogging her glasses. She didn’t move for a moment, her feet somehow frozen to the ground with fear under his intense glare, before quickly rushing to get her bag and shoes on, her heart beating rapidly.

“I was right…You are just like your father…” She whimpered before she rushed out the door, slamming it shut behind her and leaving Helmeppo alone with his thoughts. He bit his bottom lip as he sat back down, rubbing his temples in both frustration and regret. Time had passed, and although Helmeppo didn’t need to see the time, he knew it was getting late. Throughout this time he had begun to think about what Star had said and he had come to realise that she was right. He had become far too focused on becoming stronger than his father to realise that he has slowly begun to turn into him. The fear on her face when she saw just how angry he was replayed in his head, making him angry at himself. He raised his head to look towards the door as if expecting her to magically return, but upon glancing at the clock on the wall, he knew that wasn’t possible. Cursing under his breath, he got up and put his coat, hat and visor on before storming out the door, locking it behind him before fast-walking down the road to look for her. It was dark out, so he knew it had been hours since he last saw her, making worry course through his veins.

He didn’t get very far before his Baby Transponder Snail began to ring. Answering it with haste, he grumbled. “What?”

“Helmeppo, it’s me, Coby!” The sound of his friend’s voice made him light up a little.

“Coby! Thank god! Have you seen Star?!” Helmeppo frantically asked, desperately wanting to know the whereabouts of his girlfriend.

“About that…She came to my office crying, she was in an absolute state. I got her to calm down and she stayed for a while but she just left.” Explained Coby. Helmeppo cursed under his breath.

“That’s just great. Do you know where she could’ve gone?” He asked, looking around. He heard Coby sigh.

“No, I don’t. Helmeppo, what happened?”

“I’ll tell you later. Right now I need to find her. Can you help me-” Before he could ask his friend for help, he saw someone in the distance, standing at the end of the road.

“...I’ll call you back.” Helmeppo spoke, hanging up and stepping forward to take a closer look at the figure. The brunette hair in a messy plait gave the identity of this figure away, even before it turned around to face him; there, in front of him, stood Star. Tears still fell freely down her red cheeks from her puffy eyes that seemed to widen a little once she noticed him, her bottom lip trembling as she took a step back, thinking he was someone else.

“...M…Meppo…?” She softly asked, stepping forward again. Helmeppo could tell she was tired and scared by the way she trembled and panted. Starting off slow and cautious, he began to walk over to her.

“Star!” He exclaimed as he swiftly engulfed her in a hug, arms wrapping securely around her as she trembled in his arms, a lump forming in her throat as she gripped onto him for dear life. Violent sobs ripped through her body as she cried into his chest. Helmeppo hushed her, kissing the top of her head.

“Let’s get you home.” He softly spoke, walking back home with her. As they got in, Helmeppo noticed bruises on her face and arms that were definitely not there before. Closing the door behind him, he sat her down and took off his coat, hat and visor before sitting down next to her, where she instantly clinged to him and continued to sob into his chest.

“I-I was so scared, I just kept running and running and I didn’t know where I was going and-”

“That’s enough,” Helmeppo spoke, his soft tone interrupting her and making her look up at him. He looked at her injuries again, looking down at her knees to find scrapes, scratches and bruises on them. “What happened?”

Star whimpered, sniffling a little. “...You know those thugs you saved me from and turned into Marines?” She asked. Helmeppo reluctantly nodded, an uneasy feeling bubbling in his gut.

“Well, after I visited Coby, they thought it would be funny to chase me through really dark alleyways with weapons. I tripped up several times and bumped into a lot of things trying to escape them. I…I wanted to defend myself somehow, so I turned and tried to fight them but I was too scared to move, so they dragged me by my feet and hair for a little bit before I kicked them away and ran for it…” She explained, sobbing through sentences. Helmeppo’s eye twitched, opening his mouth to say something but Star interrupted him again.

“I’m sorry, Meppo…!” She whined, clinging to his shirt like her life depended on it. Helmeppo looked at her with confusion, a hand coming up to cup her cheek, watching as she flinched a little at the contact.

“What? Star, you shouldn’t be sorry. I’m the one who should be sorry. I never meant any of the things I said…I do need you, Star…I don’t know what I’d do without you.” Helmeppo apologised, swallowing the lump in his throat and holding her close. Star whimpered, a string of sobs leaving her mouth and tears falling down her face. Helmeppo gently captured her lips with his own, to which she deepened by wrapping her arms around his neck. They parted, Helmeppo kissing her cheeks and peppering her face with soft kisses, gently kissing the bruises he saw on her. He cupped her face in his hands again and looked at her.

“Let’s get you cleaned up, okay? I’ll deal with those guys later…” Helmeppo reassured her, his tone shifting a littile before speaking again. “How about we go somewhere tomorrow, hm? Just the two of us?”

“What? Why?” Star questioned, somehow oblivious. Helmeppo deadpanned a little before chuckling.

“Well, we both have a day off tomorrow, and I don’t think a kiss and a cuddle is much of an apology, now is it?” Helmeppo rhetorically asked. Star smiled, shaking her head as Helmeppo wiped away the last of her tears. “So,” He continued. “How about a day out, hm?”

Star giggled, leaning into his touch. “I’d like that. But where to?”

“Well, I head that Sabaody is great this time of year.” Helmeppo mentioned, smirking a little.

Star gasped in excitement, her mood lightening up almost immediately. “The place we had our first date?!” She exclaimed, a big grin on her face. Helmeppo chuckled, pinching her cheeks a little.

“Yep. I want to treat you right for once…And I’ve been thinking about what you said earlier…I have to agree with you, my goal to be stronger than him does sound like his plan to be the strongest, doesn’t it?” He spoke with a sad chuckle. Star frowned, sighing.

“Meppo, I’m sorry for saying that you’re just like him. I was wrong; you're so much better than him! You don’t treat others like shit and you actually care about your subordinates and colleagues. And you know what,” Apologised Star, cupping his face in her hands. “You are much stronger than him. In more ways than one.” She kissed his nose and his chin before gently kissing his lips. Helmeppo hummed, a blush on his face as he almost melted into the kiss.

“I already forgive you…Now, how about we get you healed up this time, eh? Where did you leave the First Aid kit again?” Helmeppo asked as they pulled away. Star giggled and he swore he felt his heart jump.

“It’s in the small cupboard in the kitchen, the one closest to the window.” She responded, pecking his cheek as he stood up. Upon following her instructions, he came back with the kit and made her sit on the coffee table, kissing each and every wound he came across as he was patching her up.

“There we go. All better now,” Helmeppo spoke before kissing her softly on the lips. “Hungry?”

“Food??” Helmeppo chuckled at her reaction.

“I knew you were,” He spoke, giving her a headpat. “I think we still have some macaroni cheese left-”

“Please!” Star exclaimed excitedly, the mere mention of her comfort food making her stomach growl. Helmeppo laughed.

“Oh, alright.”

“Yay! Can I help you make it?”

“Absolutely.”

It was late. Seriously late. Star didn't know when Helmeppo would be home, or even if he'd be home. He said himself that he didn't know what time he would be back. She shuddered at the thought, not wanting to think about it a second further. With a sigh, she took off the clothes she had worn for work and got changed into some pyjamas, ready to settle down and go to sleep.

Maybe, she thought, she'd wake up during the night in the comfort of his embrace. Putting away her clothes, she stretched, grunting in relief as her muscles grew less tense. Still, she wondered, there had been times where he came home the next day with dirt on him from his missions with Coby that, although weren't as bad as she previously thought, worried her tremendously. As she was about to take her glasses off to clean them, she heard the door open, her head whipping to the side and body practically leaping down the hallway towards the stairs. There, at the bottom of the stairs, hanging up his coat, stood her boyfriend. She wanted ever so badly to leap into his arms, but she noticed that he looked tired. Walking down the stairs got his attention, offering a soft smile to Star as he took off his visor from his eyes and put them on his head while he took off his shoes.

"Hello, love! Sorry for coming home so late," He apologised as Star met him at the bottom. He wrapped his arms around her waist. "Did I wake you?" Star shook her head, a soft smile on her lips as she inspected his face. Her teal eyes darted to the small red liquid that began to trickle down his cheek. She narrowed her eyes before speaking. "You've got some ketchup on your... no, wait... that's blood." Star corrected herself as she gently swiped the red liquid with her thumb.

Worry began to worm its way into her stomach as Helmeppo visibly froze. His girlfriend looked at him with worry. "... Meppo... What happened out there?" Helmeppo slightly panicked. "Ah! Don't worry about me," He slightly stuttered, chuckling nervously. "Some robbers had guns when we pursued them, but they only managed to scratch my cheek with the thing!" That didn't seem to help, as Star's lips formed a frown. "... You could have died. Any further and I would've lost you..." She mumbled, holding one of his hands. Helmeppo sighed softly, cupping her cheek with one of his gloved hands and stroking it with his thumb.

Star swallowed the lump in her throat before speaking again. "Sit down. You need to be patched up." She softly demanded, pointing to the sofa. Helmeppo silently obeyed, a soft sigh escaping his lips as he sat down and watched as she went to the kitchen for the first aid kit. "Star, seriously, I'm fine." He tried to reassure her, but his attempt was in vain as she already positioned herself on his lap, putting the first aid kit next to them as she gently pushed him to lean back on the sofa. She got out a cotton swab, a plaster and wound disinfectant and got to work. "This might sting a bit. I need to disinfect it before I do anything else." Star softly mumbled, making Helmeppo chuckle slightly, smiling up at her. "Alright." He softly responded, his hands resting on her thighs as she cleaned up the small wound and put a plaster over it.

"Okay," Star lightly huffed, letting all her worries escape her. "Now you're fine." Helmeppo chuckled, squeezing her thighs gently before wrapping his arms around her waist. "All thanks to you, Nurse." He spoke, kissing both of her cheeks. The frown on her face softened a little as she cupped his face with her hands and leant down to gently kiss the bandaged cut before looking into his eyes with concern.

"Meppo, you need to be more careful. I know you can handle yourself, but who knows what could happen to you. I could lose you one day, and I wouldn't know what to do with myself if I did..." Star softly whined, trailing off as tears pricked her eyes at the sheer thought of losing the one she loved to heart. Helmeppo panicked, again. "Hey now, don't cry! You won't lose me, I promise." Promised Helmeppo, holding out his pinky finger for her to link with. And she did, rather firmly.

"You better keep that promise." She pouted, wiping away a stray tear. Helmeppo took the opportunity to link their hands together with a smile. "I will." He reassured her, sealing the promise with a soft kiss. Star blushed, but didn't hesitate to kiss back, wrapping her arms around his neck to deepen it a little. Air quickly became their enemy, forcing them apart momentarily so they could breathe. They smiled at eachother, but before either of them could speak, Star let out a yawn, making Helmeppo laugh a bit. "Tired, my Starlight?" "Not as tired as you, I bet," Responded Star, blushing a soft pink at the nickname. She got off from his lap and stretched before making her way towards the stairs. "I'm going to bed. Your dinner is in the microwave, so it should be fine to reheat. Join me when you're ready." That last sentance sounded like a question as she walked up the stairs.

Helmeppo smiled, chuckling to himself as he watched her disappear. "What am I going to do with you, Starshine?"

👠 🎃 🌻 🌱 🧊 💜

ace!! :D hello! :D ty for the ask! :DD

👠- What's the height difference between you & your F/O?

He's shorter by an inch, but other than that, we're about the same height <3

🎃 - You & your F/O go to a costume party! Who do you both dress up as?

Hmm...This one's a tricky one...

Rapunzel & Flynn Rider! He's Rapunzel, but in a suit, and I'm Flynn Rider! :D

🌻 - How does your F/O cheer you up?

Helmeppo is always quick to notice when I'm down, it's almost like he can sense the change in mood as soon as he enters the room. So, he stays with me. He gives me cuddles, plays video games with me and watches Legally Blonde the Musical with me. Yes, he does sing some of the tunes with me, too. Overall, it's just a lot of mushy lovey-dovey stuff and it's muah!! Chef's kiss! <33

🌱 - How does your F/O feel about nature?

I'd say he hasn't got a bias towards nature, if you know what I mean? He recycles quite a fair amount and takes walks whenever he feels the need to. That's about it, really.

🧊 - How does your F/O handle pressure?

Better than me, that's for sure. Helmeppo is used to pressure being put on him, being a Lieutenant Commander and all. So, he handles pressure quite well, all things considered. When he does eventually crack, though, I'm always there to make him feel better <3

💜 - Free space! Tell us a random headcanon you have about your F/O!

OKAY HEAR ME OUT! Helmeppo still has his undercut from when he had that bowl cut before W7 and it's so soft to touch! It's so soothing when you run your hands through it and UUGHHHH IT'S SO SOFTTTT! <3
