Toaci stayed on Bull's shoulder the whole time just watching him. Sometimes he would be sleeping and others he'd be just sitting there. Maybe it was the colder weather that kept toaci so tired.
Keigo smiled slightly when Amelia rubbed his back, taking a couple deep breaths and calming down fully.
Kera rubbed her arm, after having bashed it
Bull continued his weapon checking, but he did calm down a bit quicker with Toaci around. He didn’t know much about birds, but he was steadily gaining more respect for them.
A soft smile grew on Amelia’s lips as Keigo calmed. She continued to hold him and rub his back.
“I love you,”she said softly.
Boris listened closely, alert for anything else Kera might try.
“ the on day I come back to fuck keigo over for what he did and I get locked in a damn room!” kera Called aloud.
Keigo pulled back from Amelia “ I'm better now.. Thank you.”
Boris narrowed his eyes, concerned by Kera’s words. What had Keigo done? Did he truly deserve this woman’s vengeance? He doubted it. Something just seemed off about Kera, and Boris suspected that her being shot was the reason.
Amelia smiled warmly at him.
“You’re welcome, love. And, you’re still cuddly as can be,”she said, giggling a little bit.
“ yeah, I guess a bullet can't stop me huh” he said a bit happily
Kera banged on the door “ let me out damn it!”
Amelia giggled.
“Your cuddles are invincible. Nothing can stop that,”she said humorously, laughing.
Boris cursed under his breath. Bull was usually the guard. Boris was the damn medic! And where the fuck was Bull anyway?
He stayed silent, hoping Kera would shut up eventually.
Bull finished his weapon checks, reloaded the rifle he had held earlier, and headed out of his room, looking for where Boris had put Kera. He hoped someone was standing guard, because if that woman had escaped, Bull would kill her then probably shoot Boris in the foot for the trouble.
Kera was yelling up a storm. “ LET ME THE FUCK OUT!”
Keigo gave a small laugh, kissing Amelia. He pulled her a little bit closer to him before hearing kera shouting. He flinched a little
Boris winced at the yells, then saw Bull approaching and sighed in relief. He waved for Bull to take over and stepped aside.
Bull came up and slammed the butt of his rifle against the door.
“If you don’t shut the fuck up in there, you’re never getting out of that room!”Bull snapped at Kera.
Amelia savored the kiss, chuckling. When she felt him flinch, she rubbed his back again and kissed him on the forehead before leaning her forehead on his.
“Don’t let her get to you. Don’t let her scare you half to death before we even figure out what’s going on,”she cooed.
A fire gleamed deep in her soft eyes, one that glowed with experience. She wasn’t about to let anyone hurt Keigo, and she would be damned if this Kera woman made him suffer anymore.
Keigo sighed “ right. That's why I'm going to figure this the fuck out. Right here right now.” he said and let Amelia off before walking to her room. He was determined to get the goddamn reason out of her.
Kera flinched when she heard the bang “ who the hell are you!?”
Amelia nodded in understanding, then followed Keigo.
“I’m the guy who knocked you out, and I will gladly do it again. Now, calm your shit and explain why the fuck you’re here, and I might consider opening this fucking door,”Bull snarled.
Boris watched nearby, and was the first one to notice Keigo and Amelia’s approach. He waved in greeting, then held his finger over his mouth before pointing at Bull, telling the two to be quiet so Bull could interrogate Kera.
Keigo stood at the door. Waiting to hear what she had to say.
Kera laughed a bit “ keigo left me for dead! I just came to pay my respects and do the same, “
Bull huffed.
“There’s a big difference between leaving someone for dead and not knowing that same someone was still alive. You clearly can’t tell. Now, was that all you were planning?”he growled.
Amelia leaned against the wall opposite the door, glaring evilly at it. That this woman would even think of ‘repaying’ Keigo made her fingers wrap around the hilt of her dagger. Despite her anger, she periodically glanced at Keigo to make sure he was okay.
Boris grimaced at Kera’s words, shaking his head helplessly. He kept a close eye on Keigo, but otherwise stayed out of the situation.
Keigo seemed to shake a little, but there was a fight in his eyes. “ I didn't know you were dead kera. But it was all the same when I seized trying to protect you. “ he said,
Kera seemed shocked that he'd even bring it up. “ really kego? After id been there after every seizure! And comforted you when you woke up screaming in pain because of them! You're a fucking nuisance to anyone who even tries to love you. “ she called back out of rage.
At Kera’s words, Amelia visibly stiffened, her hand tightening around the hilt of her dagger so much that her knuckles turned white. Rage burned in her eyes and she shifted a leg, ready to pounce if the door was ever opened.
Bull huffed,”Watch that fucking tone, missie!”
He then noticed Amelia’s reaction and rose an eyebrow. Amelia didn’t even acknowledge him. He glanced at Boris, and the man grimaced. It was a good thing that the door was steel, or Amelia might have already barged through and absolutely annihilated Kera.
Keigo noticed Amelia, he put his hand up. The male grabbed both the others wrists. “ let her out. She wants to ‘pay me back’ let her, though someone needs to hold Amelia” he said more to bull then anything
Bull snorted.
“I might let that woman out, but she ain’t putting one finger on you if I got any say in that. You’re our fucking Captain, and that shit don’t fly. Besides, Amelia’s hard to hold back when she’s like this,”Bull replied.
“I can vouch for that. She got pissed off at somebody and was dragging me on her way to get to whoever it was. She is stubborn as hell,”Boris commented.
“I’m glad I got the nickname ‘Bull’ before she did,”Bull snorted.
“Besides that, I agree with Bull. And I’m sure Beta-Man would as well. We’re not letting her hurt a hair on that head of yours, even in a fist fight. I’m getting some bad fucking vibes from that woman, as in she’s not right in the head sort of vibes,”Boris added.
Amelia turned and sighed irritably, taking a few deep breaths to calm herself.
“I won’t jump at her if you insist on letting her out, but Boris has a point. Something’s off, whether it’s her head or something else,”she said.
“ and that's what I wanna find out” he said and let go of Amelia's wrists “there's no way she should be alive right now.. “
Kera could hear them talking it over “ you guys act like I'm going to kill him or something! Just let me the fuck out!”
Amelia nodded. She took another deep breath, then glared at the door when Kera spoke.
Bull rolled his eyes at Kera’s words, then moved in front of the door, one hand poised to open it, the other holding his rifle. He looked at the others, particularly Keigo.
“You all ready?”Bull asked.
Boris shifted, holding his shotgun steadily. It was aimed at the floor, but he could easily lift it up if needed. He then nodded.
Amelia nodded, glancing up at Keigo.
Keigo took a deep breath, steadying his shaking body “ yeah I'm good” he said and started at the door
Kera waited for the door to open before stepping out. She glared daggers at keigo, and looking at the group. “ aren't we a diverse group..”
Amelia continued to glare, not bothering to reply to Kera’s words.
Bull rolled his eyes at Kera, holding his rifle with practiced ease.
“Get to the point, missie,”Bull snorted.
Boris stayed silent, watching the situation carefully.
“ I'm out of a damn ship, decided to vist my dead boyfriend. So I'm staying. And I want my old spot.”
Keigo scoffed, knowing exactly what that meant. “ the girl in front of you took that spot. And she's not going to give it up, nor will I let her.”
Amelia stepped forward to stand beside Keigo. She didn’t say a word, primarily because if she did try and speak she would probably end up murdering Kera. However, her lingering glare made it quite clear that Amelia wasn’t about to give up the mentioned spot without a very bloody fight.
Bull stared at Kera a moment, then shook his head.
“Alright. Clear something up for me. Not five minutes ago, you were screaming about ‘paying back’ Keigo here for supposedly leaving you for dead. Now, you’re wanting to rejoin his crew. How the fuck does that make sense? What, you planning on tormenting Keigo until he’s nothing more than your little slave? And don’t give me some shitty ass excuse like you were just pissed off. I know better,”Bull said.
“ actually you caught me. Your right. Keigos always been my little bitch. keigo I don't feel good or keigo I have a headache always worked”
Keigo growled a bit under his breath, he remembered the game she played on him and every seize she induced.
Bull and Boris both glared.
“You conniving bitch. Give me one good reason not to shoot you right now,”Bull hissed, aiming his rifle.
“Shooting her isn’t good enough,”Amelia growled.
Her hand had gone back to her dagger hilt. The list of things Amelia could do to Kera with just that one dagger. The list of other things she could do to Kera, whether she touched her at all or not. Amelia could do so much… so much to the one that had manipulated Keigo, used him, tormented him.
Bull glanced at Amelia with a raised eyebrow, then snorted. He then glanced at Keigo, deciding it was best for him to decide on Kera’s fate.
“ were not killing her. And we're not harming her. I'm not participating in a circle. She hurt me and then we’ll hurt her, eventually it will come back to me so no. “ he watched the group sternly and then looked to kera with a growl “ you can stay, but you fucking stay out of my crews business. Doors stay locked as long as your here. Understood?“ he said the last bit to the whole of his crew
Kera growled when keigo denied her. She'd fight with Amelia for his bullshit love but that didn't matter now
