Author’s note: It’s my first attempt at AU and I have never watched anything like Startrek or Star Wars, so I might fail at describing anything related to that :p Also it's the first time I ever wrote using a prompt which made me pretty nervous...
This is my gift for

Captain Nino was the wildest, most dangerous, most feared space pirate you could find anywhere. Wherever his star ship appeared, terror and panic reigned. He robbed, he stole and he scared people to death. The stories about his brutality and ruthlessness were wild and numerous. There wasn’t a single living soul this side of the universe that didn’t start shaking just thinking about him. He never made prisoners either (not that there ever was a need - everyone always ran as fast as they could in the opposite direction wherever he landed.)
That’s why he was in a very, very bad mood right now. Before him sat a tiny man with short dark hair, adorably chubby cheeks and beautiful long fingers that Nino was decidedly not staring at. Said man had been brought back from their latest robbing by his underling Aiba who had happily announced that he had found the man in the bakery he had been stealing from and since he was so nice why couldn’t they keep him? Besides the man had said that he had nothing better to do anyway and followed him -Aiba- without much ado whatsoever.
So now Nino was faced with a captive who was looking serenely at his surroundings without the slightest trace of fear. He needed to correct that, he decided. Immediately.
"I am the dread space pirate Nino!“
“Err… hello?”
“You have no idea who I am, right?”
“Well, you’re this Nino you just said…”
“You never heard of the curse of the star troopers? The vicious Nino? The greatest robber in this galaxy?”
“No?”
Nino sighed heavily and palmed his face. “I’m so going to kill Aiba this time,” he muttered. Then he straightened and faced his captive with a steely glare. “You are prisoner of space pirate Nino who has plagued the milky-way for the last twenty years! Prepare to die!”
“How can you have plagued the milky-way for twenty years?” the man inquired interested. “You are hardly through puberty… 17 or 18 at the most…”
“Wh-what?!” Nino spluttered. “I am 29 years old!!”
“You don’t look like that,” his captive shrugged. And after a moment of pondering, “How can you have been a pirate since the age of 9? I mean, most robberies take place at night, didn’t you have to be at bed at that time already?”
Nino turned an even darker red. “For your information, I am Ninomiya Kazunari the second, only son and heir of the greatest and most feared space robber that has ever travelled through space: Ninomiya Kazuya!” he snarled.
“Ah, so you took over the family business? So did I… well I was supposed to but now that you’ve brought me with you…”
Nino tried to regain some control over the conversation. “But even if I am the second generation-“
“Why did you keep your father’s name? I mean, it’s quite obvious you cannot be this red pirate thingy…”
“Dread pirate!! And it’s better for business, okay? People have come to fear the mere name. Makes robbing more comfortable when everyone starts running away the moment you enter their house,” Nino pouted.
“Ah, now I get it,” the other nodded solemnly. “You’re using it like a kind of brand. So, Kazu-chan, what are going to do with me now?”
“K-Kazu-chan?” Nino was nothing short of fainting from shock.
“Well, you just admitted yourself that you’re not really Captain Nino and I have to call you some way, ne~”
“I- this… Don’t think… I-I…” Nino stuttered.
Luckily the door slid open at that exact moment and Jun entered the room.
“Dinner’s ready,” he announced sounding bored.
“Oh! Yes, err- let, let’s go then,” Nino hoped sincerely that for once Jun wouldn’t be perceptive and not take notice of his dark-red blush.
“Brilliant, I’m starving!” chirped his captive happily getting up.
“Don’t get your hopes too high,” Jun told him unenthusiastically. “Sho cooked and you don’t want to eat what Sho cooks.”
“Sho cooked?” Nino asked shocked. “Why didn’t you?”
“Hey, I can either navigate the ship or cook. And unless you want Aiba to be in charge of steering…”
Nino opened his mouth but closed it quickly, contemplating both possibilities. Apparently neither suited him.
They were interrupted by a loud noise. Both turned towards the third man who smiled apologetically. “Sorry, but my stomach’s completely empty. I haven’t eaten since you’ve taken me captive.”
“That was only two hours ago!” Nino exclaimed but was stopped by another loud rumble of his prisoner’s stomach. “Okay, okay, let’s go. Eating Sho’s meals is punishment enough even on a good day…”
======
“Umai~!”
Sho smiled proudly and a little disbelieving but nevertheless he offered the prisoner seconds which he gratefully accepted.
“Ohno-chan sure likes eating,” Aiba commented while he watched the man he had captured.
“Ohno-chan?” Jun sneered with a raised eyebrow.
Aiba smiled widely and immediately started to explain how he had found their prisoner at Ohno’s Bakery and that he was the son of the owner and…
“That’s enough!” Nino snapped. “You better not annoy me any further today, Aiba.”
Aiba had the decency to look guilty at that and managed to keep his features like that for at least one minute before he switched back to being the bubbly man from before.
Nino then directed his attention (or bad mood) at Sho. “What exactly is this supposed to be?” he gave a dark look towards the bubbling dish in front of them.
Sho blushed. “Just some soup slash nabe. Aiba suggested using some apples to make the taste a little sweeter. I guess if I had managed to peel and cut them nicer it’d look better.”
“I wouldn’t bet on that,” Nino muttered under his breath and pushed his bowl away. “If only you could take over at the pontoon bridge; you could switch with Jun.”
“It’s not my fault I have acrophobia,” Sho sulked.
“I can cook,” Ohno suddenly announced.
“No, thanks!” Nino snorted.
“My mum taught me loads of recipes, I’m really good,” he looked directly into Nino’s eyes, pleading silently.
“And we don’t need a prisoner to help us out.” Nino tried to look away, he really did. But somehow he found that he couldn’t.
“Stop that pout!” he jumped up, finally breaking eye-contact. Angrily he stomped towards the other man and grabbed his wrist. Pulling him along he growled, “Enough with all this! I am going to put you in your cell, Ohno-cha-, prisoner.”
“Can’t I finish dessert?” Ohno whined but followed Nino nonetheless.
The door closed with a smash leaving behind the other three. “He does realize that our ship hasn’t got any cells?” Jun wondered aloud.
=========
Nino marched them back to his captain’s compartment.
“It’s okay, you know,” Ohno told him.
“What is?” Nino bit back, doing his utmost to keep his stance this time.
“Calling me Ohno-chan.”
Nino turned around furiously. A big mistake but he only realized that when he was once again captured by those sparkling eyes. “I’m not calling you... *gulp* Oh… *double-gulp* -chan or anything…” he stammered getting gradually quieter.
Ohno chuckled and moved closer. “Oh-chan? I like that.”
Nino’s blush made a spectacular comeback. “You are still my captive and I am still-“ but he was silenced when Ohno closed the distance between them and kissed him. Nino stood stock-still, all his systems going haywire at the same time.
For once in his life he was speechless and just blinked at Ohno who had pulled back and now eyed him with visible smugness. He put his hand onto his lips that still tingled from the soft feel of Ohno’s lips.
“Breathe, Kazu-chan,” Ohno suggested.
Nino scowled at him. “Don’t get all cocky just because you kissed me!” he pouted.
“You could kiss me back, that way we’d be even.”
Nino gave him a dark look but complied nevertheless. “You’re gonna regret saying that,” he muttered before he pulled Ohno into a fierce embrace, kissing him hard.
“Not fair,” Ohno panted once Nino let him up for air. “You out-kissed me with this.”
Nino smiled brazenly, “You know how to get even~”
Ohno dared him.
==========
“What is this supposed to be?” Nino whined, prodding the contents of the bowl in front of him. “It looks horrible and don’t get me started on the smell!”
Ohno pouted. “That’s my special ankake cha-han!”
“Try it; it tastes better than it looks!” Aiba said with his mouth stuffed with rice. That he was swaying his spoon enthusiastically to get his point across and that on said spoon was still some food that hit Jun square in the face was filed away as collateral damage.
“It’s better than anything Sho ever served us,” Jun commented, picking rice out of his eye.
Sho was tempted to be offended but it was too true to be negated. So he just sighed and dug in. If you didn’t look too closely it was really quite tasty.
Nino didn’t give in just yet. “Oh-chan~, you have to make it up to me! Oh-chan, kiss me!”
Grinning Ohno put down the ladle with which he’d been serving and bent down to kiss their captain.
“Does this have to happen every single time we eat?” Jun asked exasperated. “Seriously, ever since Ohno joined us, all you do during meals is snog each other.”
Nino was too occupied to respond. After all he knew that a Space Pirate Captain had to claim his authority from time to time.
