Nevada had talked to Stormy, THUS found it nesscary that it was time to talk to Gale. What about? Well...That was her little secret after all.
Okay no it was a roommate and a sister and best friend thing and she just wanted to make sure Gale understood what happened if anything happened to Stormy that you know...wasn't good.
Except Nevada didn't know how to find Gale so she pulled out her cell phone and sent him a text.Kurotomato Text to Gale: Hey there cutie, This is Nevada. Can we talk? Meet me at the mist lounge?

He was extremely confused about this text from Nevada, mostly because he:
a) didn't really know Nevada, except that she was Stormy's roommate, and
b) Did this have to do with Stormy.
c) It did, didn't it
Needless to say, Gale was a bit concerned about getting the text, but he obediently sent one back and then peeled himself off of the couch at his little yellow home and made his way to the Mist Lounge to look for the one called Nevada.Nyxtsuki Moon Text to Nevada:On my way. Be there in a few.

Once Gale entered the mist lounge, he'd notice that the room was well....not much really since they were still fixing it up. On one side was a large hole that was covered with plastic and some of the mist joke of pictures to cover it.
The other side was the counters, kitchen and a couch where a certain state was currently napping on. Because in waiting for Gale, she had sat on the couch....then laid on it. God it was just so comfy okay? and then stretched out...and closed her eyes.
She just really liked to sleep. Brown hair curtained around her like a blanket, arms tucked close to her but...she may have been drooling just a little.
Just a little. So cool.
Your move Gale.

The Mist lounge was empty.
Gale stared blankly around the room, then pulled out his phone to look at his phone. Nope, this was very definitely the place Nevada had asked him to meet her, and yet he didn't -
- nope wait, was that some hair -
Gale slipped around to the other side of the couch, and sure enough, there she was, flopped over and sound asleep. He shuffled his feet for a moment, trying to figure out what to do, if he should wake her, or just let her sleep.
Finally he decided on just carefully prodding her shoulder with his hand.
"Nevada?"

Nevada rolled away from the prodding with a sigh, which ended up her rolling off the couch and hitting the floor and a loud squeak.
A moment of silence.
"Uh..." Then suddenly Nevada, smoothing her jacket and her hair and looking at Gale with bright green eyes. She looked a little startled, probably from being woken up suddenly of her own doing before settling into a smooth lazy smile. She retook the couch and then offered a seat next to her.
"Have a seat handsome. We gots lots to talk about." She yawned, "Including why a strange girl is here making you talk to her."

Gale had reached out to try and stop her from falling, but, well, needless to say he'd been a little slow on the uptake.
"Er," he said. "Are you, ah...all right?"
He awkwardly grasped her arm, trying to help her up, and then stood beside the couch while she resettled herself on it, smoothing down her shirt. Gale eyed her curiously, tilting his head to the side, and then cautiously took a seat on the other side of the couch, turning sideways on it to look at her.
Handsome? That was both new and very peculiar, considering Gale didn't really think it applied to him, but he didn't correct her, instead saying, "Er. Well. Possibly...?"
Actually he was relatively sure this had to do with a Certain Someone, but he certainly wasn't going to be the first to bring her up.

"Of course I'm alright." She patted her arm and grinned, "Hunters can take a lot more than this." She snorted before resting her chin in her hand. He was an adorable little one, Just a bit taller than herself she assumed. She really liked the blonde with almost white blonde bangs...It was something she'd never seen before.
"Well I'm not one to beat around the bush so..." Nevada smiled at him, wickedly. "If you hurt Stormy in anyway, emotionally, physically or spiritually, I don't care about ranks, I don't care about weapons....I will hunt you down and kill you myself." She sat back now, still studying him. "Okay now that big sister protocol is out of the way...."
She eyed him carefully.
"Do you need to ask any questions that pertain to physical part of your relationship? I had the sex talk with Stormy and made her aware that I expect her to come to me with any questions or concerns. Would you like the same courtesy?"

Welp. At least there was no sugarcoating it.
Gale sighed.
"I am not," he said lightly. "going to hurt Stormy in any way, shape or form, whether it be emotionally, physically, or spiritually. I already told myself that I would beat myself up if I hurt her. Besides," he gave Nevada slightly pointed look. "You really think I would be so dumb as to treat her terribly? She's worth more than that, you know."
But then his expression softened a little. "I promise," said Gale. "that I won't hurt her, I promise."
His face turned red, and Gale reached a hand up, rubbing at his forehead because why, why, he really didn't need to know, really he didn't, and why did he have the feeling Marcus and Bix were going to ask him the exact same thing and oh jeez was this how it was going to be now that he had a girlfriend -
Gale coughed a little.
"No, no, that's really all right, I don't need to know."

Oh yes, Nevada liked your answer Gale. She liked it very much. "To warn you though, It's not me you really have to be worried for. I actually caught on to your flirtations with Stormy at the cruise and encouraged it. It's her eclipse duo brothers you have to worry about." She smiled again, "Just a fair warning to you, Tuck is a moon hunter and Evan is a sun hunter. And both are big military men." She waited a beat. "She's worth a lot. And she's one of the few people I would probably die on the Island to protect. She's given something I lost for awhile. So I will protect it with all I have."
Oh gosh he was just so cute when he turned red. And she couldn't help it, sorry Stormy, you guys were too cute. She just had to tease.
"Well if you ever find yourself getting a bit touchy, or if you find that you want to do more, please come to me first." Nevada cocked her head, "I told Stormy that I have things that will help relax the body, Candles, bath soaks and such as well as tools to perform safe sex. Okay Gale?" She chuckled, reaching over to pat his knee. "It's a natural boy thing okay?"
She leaned back again. "But seriously, I'm glad that you and Stormy are together. You make her happy. You make her really happy, and on this Island. People deserve happy."

"Ah," said Gale, leaning back in his seat and crossing one leg over the other, his hands folded together in his lap. "Yes, I've heard of the 'brothers.' Stormy's mentioned them a few times."
He absently twisted the silver banded ring on his finger and gave Nevada a very level look. "Now for me to tell you something," said Gale quietly. "I'd die to protect her as well. She is very important to me, more so than I think anybody on this island actually understands. I've spent most of my life and all of my time here watching everyone else move on without me, watching people fall in love and start dating, watch them get married, in some cases, like my best mate Marcus. I've watched my other best mate fall in and out of liking someone and finally even he found someone. Now it's finally my turn to have the same sort of happiness that I've watched everyone else have."
His expression was gentle, yet firm. "You're telling me things I already know. She is worth a lot, she's worth everything. And I will stand by her for as long as she lets me, and even if this doesn't work out, I will still be there for her."
He hoped it would work out. He really hoped it worked out, but as he and everyone else on this damn island knew, sometimes things just didn't. Relationships around here were as turbulent as the waters that surrounded them.
Gale held one hand out towards Nevada, shaking his head. "No, really, that's okay, I don't need anything," he said quickly, his face now scarlet as he tried to keep his mind entirely level. "Really, it's okay, I'm fine."
He cleared his throat and added, a little shyly, his expression soft, "She makes me happy too, though I'm sure I'm relatively awkward in the boyfriend department, having never actually been a boyfriend before."

"Yes the brothers." Nevada smiled at him, "Other than that, and after meeting them...you've met her family! Glad you are part of it now." She sat back and listened to him. What he described, she wondered if she could relate in a way?
She watched Otto finally get Eva to like him more than just friends, she watched Candace and Dakota, And just learned of Heidi and Tuck so...it was slowly watching all the others find happiness...while she had ruined her chance at it. Funny.
"It's a good feeling huh?" She reached over, ruffling his hair. "And as I said, I am more than happy for you guys. Stormy is just...." She shrugged, she knew Gale understood.
And gosh he was just adorable...she couldn't help but reach out and hug him. Rubbing his red cheek with hers. It was nothing more than a sign of affection from a cat and she was gone just as quickly as she was there. "Well, offer stands Cutie." She grinned.
And now he was being all shy and stuff. Gosh it was like having a younger brother to tease and stuff.
"Can I offer another piece of advice? Just be honest with her. That's the best a girl can ask for..." She rolled her eyes over to him, "I told her to do the same. I don't want her holding secrets from you, though I won't be convincing her to tell you everything. That's for you." She sighed, "I'm glad that you took this well. Most guys would hate family interfering."

"I'm afraid I don't have any family for Stormy to meet," said Gale, a little more quieter than he had intended, and it was supposed to have come out lighthearted - except it didn't, and he lapsed into a tense silence, Gale curling and uncurling his fingers.
"Yeah," he said, and shook himself mentally, giving Nevada an understanding sort of look. "She is just. There's no real way of putting it, she's just Stormy."
He really hoped that Marcus and Bix would not ask him the same sort of questions, but Gale was under the distinct impression that they most definitely probably would. Maybe he'd just keep his new relationship a secret. Maybe he just wouldn't mention it to them at all.
Maybe he'd just avoid them altogether. Gale smiled a little.
"I don't lie," he said. "At least not to the people that matter to me. There's little point in keeping secrets here, this island is too small. Everything gets brought to light eventually, and it's never pretty. I don't want that to ever happen to Stormy and me."
He leaned his head against his hand, his elbow propped against the back of the couch. "And it's not that big of a deal, honestly. Like I said, the island's small. We form our own little families, and I'm glad that Stormy has people like you to watch out for her. If my sister were al - here, I'd probably do the same thing."
The slip was unintentional, Gale clearing his throat, trying to act casual.

"There's no one here you consider family?" Nevada eyebrow winged really far up because if that was the case, Gale you just gained a big sister too. She will look out for you okay.
"I lied..." She admitted to him, looking away. "And I payed a terrible price for it. In a way though, I'm glad Stormy can see from my mistakes. And I'm glad I still have her as a friend even after so." She put her chin in her hand, watching him again.
"Your sister?" Nevada's eyes curiously looked over to him before looking away. "I thought my identical twin was dead till I came to this place. Instead she was sleeping in a pod...." She sighed, "it's like being dead isn't it? I thought I would never see her again..."

"Well," Gale amended. "There's Candace - she's sort of 'adopted' me as her younger brother - though at times I think she sometimes forgets I'm seventeen, not ten," he added, with a light tilt of his head. "I have Bix and Marcus, which I suppose are like brothers...maybe. Though if I told them that, it would probably go straight to their heads, so maybe not."
He watched Nevada carefully, his eyes flickering a little, but then he gave a small shrug. "People do the wrong thing sometimes," he said. "It doesn't mean they're a bad person, just that they made a bad decision - and I'm pretty sure there isn't one of us on this island that hasn't made a bad decision at some point."
Thinking of Leslie was painful. Something in Gale's face closed off at the phrase identical twin because Leslie was his twin, Leslie had been another part of him - and knowing that a different person's twin had woken up but not his own made his stomach turn over unpleasantly.
"She won't wake up," he said flatly, his voice low. "My sister is no longer alive, which means that there is no opportunity to wake up. I will not see her again in this lifetime."

"Well you are all cute and adorable..." Nevada giggled just a little, "But if it helps, Candace adopted me and Stormy too. Something about her little mist babies." She thought of how easily it was to just to think of someone like that. How she had let herself allow Candace and Stormy to be her sisters when her own slept in a pod.
"Thank you." She smiled again at him, oddly comforted by the younger boy. She understood why now Stormy felt more at ease with the hunter. His judgements had come with time, and he had a lot more time than either of the girls here on the island.
She watched as his face closed down and realized, he had been the same as here at one point. She had left her home after Alaska had, came to the Island after Alaska had....so why had she been the one to wake first? She had to watch her older twin for months after coming here, ever wondering if she was going to wake.
"I'm sorry." Nevada reached over and hugged Gale, "I'm sorry Gale. I know I can't relate as well but....for the longest time...Alaska had been missing to me. She left our home, for a couple of years I was by myself....Then I went looking for her. And came here....and it was almost a year till she woke." She squeezed him, "But I won't ever feel that pain of loss like you." She sighed.
"I won't be a replacement, but I can offer you another sister too. I'm a bit older if you don't mind though..." She smiled at him when she pulled back, "So I might be a little bossy."
