“ good.” she growled and went back to sketching

Tocai come out of the room, perching on bull. “ no cup, no war” he said and snuggled into the collar of bulls shirt.

Bull huffed disdainfully at Kera’s tone. He sipped at his coffee, then noticed Toaci. When the bird snuggled against him, he glanced at him in confusion.

“You’re a strange bird. And I could probably find a cup if you’re worried about it, but either way,”Bull said.

“ bad woman. Pretty bird hide.” he chirped softly

Kera heard toaci and just didn't give two shits “ that bird has hated me from day one

“Mm-hmm,”Bull replied to Kera emotionlessly.

He gently petted Toaci and finished his coffee. He now had yet another reason to not like Kera, and he understood Toaci enough to know that he was a pretty good judge of character.

Toaci gave a chirp to bulls touch.

A good bit later keigo came in, glaring at kera as he went. He got a cup of hot tea and took a longer drink.

Bull waved when Keigo came in. He then glared at his empty coffee cup for the hundredth time.

“I need to quit hanging out with Beta-Man,”Bull mumbled, snorting.

“ lemme guess, fourth cup in the hour?” he asked and took another sip of tea. He watched as toaci moved from bull to keigo, grabbing a cup. Then the most unexpected, or expected for keigo, happened. Toaci chucked the cup straight at kera. It his her square in the forehead.

“How’d you guess?”Bull asked, chuckling helplessly.

Bull watched Toaci as well. When he grabbed the cup and threw it at Kera, he couldn’t help snickering.

Keigo gave a small laugh, flinching a bit when kera stood abruptly and stormed to her room. He seemed to stay silent after that.

Toaci went to go fund Amelia, hanging out with just about everybody

Bull continued to snicker as Kera stormed off. He then noticed Keigo’s flinch and looked at him.

“Why the twitch? She’s got no sway over you. Or is that more a reaction that got burned into you? Fucking pissy one, that woman. About the only good thing I’ve seen from her is her drawing skills. The rest is shit,”Bull said.

Bull knew he was treading on delicate ground, but he didn’t much care. He despised Kera. And, maybe this could be the doorway to getting Keigo to clarify on what Kera had told him. Maybe.

Amelia slept soundly, stretched out on Keigo’s bed. Her arms had curled around the pillow, needing something to hold since Keigo wasn’t with her.

“… It's burned into my head.. Don't fuck with the new medic… I thought I lost her. I can still smell the copper of blood. But I don't remember much. All I remember is seeing my medic get shot.. My heart was racing and then a saw kera dragged up there. I started fighting like hell, I never saw my band it time before the ground rushed to my face. “ he spoke softly

Bull sighed.

“The fuck she do to you? And, clarify something for me. Are you and her truly the last of the Bloody Bandits? And was it a battle or an execution that you were caught in?”he asked.

Keigo pulled his shirt to expose the mark of the bloody bandits. “ we were set up, a mole inside the team.” he mumbled. “ it was an execution. We were all to be hunted and shot the next day. Three of us were caught one day. Me, kera, and my medic all had to watch the execution. Eventually they caught up. They had us my the necks like small cats. Emeir was shot first, then kera, I was supposed to go but when I started seizing they thought it was a message from the gods that I was cursed to live.”

“Fuck…”Bull said, shaking his head.

“She was also saying you were leader. That true?”he added.

“ yeah. I was their caption..” he said, looking up to bull “ why did I have to live..”

Bull nodded, then narrowed his eyes. He stood and moved to stand in front of Keigo, his eyes stern.

“Now, that sort of talking will only reward you with a fist in the mouth. You’re fucking alive, Keigo, that’s what fucking matters. The scars you’ve got from that horror show just means that it didn’t fucking kill you or break you. Be proud of that, boy. Be proud of what you’ve survived, and of what you’ve earned.”

keigo teared a bit “ b..but I can't get their yells out of my head bull. I let them all down.” he lowered his head. “ it's why I'm so scared to get close to anyone. I was scared to even ask Amelia to marry me. What if I fuck up again?”

Bull smirked.

“I’m going to be lenient on you and spare you the fist in the mouth part. But, get that shit out of your head. You did what you could in the moment, and that moment has long fucking passed. Yeah, the memories will still be there, but if you quit focusing so much on the pain, it’ll fade. Same with the doubts. Doubt is what kills you, boy, so quit doing it.”

“ I'll try, “ he gave a soft smile to bull, hoping to not forget his words. Keigo looked for Amelia for a bit before going to his room to find her. “ hey love..”

Bull nodded, then watched him leave. He then headed for the coffeemaker, freezing mid-step on the way there.

“That little shit has corrupted me indeed,”he grumbled.

Bull then turned around and headed to Jonathan’s room.

Amelia stirred at Keigo’s greeting and smiled warmly at him. She then stretched and yawned, moving to a sitting position.

“Hi. What’d I miss?”she asked, chuckling.

“… Nothing important “ he said and sat down, he pulled Amelia into his lap

“Oh, alright. I’ll interrogate you later,”she said with a yawn.

She giggled when Keigo moved her, then she wrapped her arms around him

Keigo wrapped his arms around her, nuzzling into the crook of her neck

“You alright, dear?”she mumbled.

Amelia snuggled up against him, moaning contentedly.

He took a shaker breath but remembered Bull's words “ yeah I'm fine. “
