" will you clean the coffee pot please?" She asked softly kera let her arms fall at the sound of keigo entering " hey beta"
" will you clean the coffee pot please?" She asked softly kera let her arms fall at the sound of keigo entering " hey beta"
“Sure.”
Jonathan stood, noticing Keigo come into the galley.
“Hey, Keigo,”he greeted with a casual wave as he headed to clean out the coffeemaker.
As he did so, Edgar decided to perch on his head again. He couldn’t help but snicker at that.
Boris came in a few minutes after Keigo.
“Morning everybody. Nice hairdo, Beta,”he said.
Jonathan burst into laughter.
Kera laughed softly. Her voice was sweet this time, she looked over at Jonathan. Her snowy blue eyes filled with happiness
Keigo laughed as well. He noticed the marks on kera wondering where they came from " heya kera, got some bruises on your neck, you okay?"
“Bruises?”Boris asked with concern. He looked at Kera inquisitively.
Jonathan didn’t pause as he rinsed the coffee pot, hoping to hide the subtle blush that had creeped on his face. He wasn’t sure what to do.
Damn, Keigo’s got a good eye! Though… I suppose I did get a little carried away last night.
" it's nothing! Really! I.. I'm fine.." Kera said with a soft chuckle.
" Okay then. You mit have Boris look into those. " He said and smiled as he watched kera walk over to Jonathan
“I can grab my med bag once I’m done eating, if you want. I’m casual,”Boris said.
He was still a bit concerned, but he wouldn’t push the issue if Kera insisted on it. Hell, she could’ve laid on something, or bumped into something, and it had left marks. It happened.
Jonathan did his best to suppress an embarrassed chuckle at Kera’s response. Thankfully, Keigo didn’t pry.
“Edgar!”
Jonathan burst into laughter as Edgar did a little dance on his head. Then the bird flew to one of the tables, looking for something to play with.
Jonathan finally finished cleaning the coffee pot and put the pot and filter back. He then noticed Kera and smiled a bit.
I probably look like an awkward little kid. Hopefully not. Fuck…
Kera laughed with him, making herself some tea and filling the ship with the smell of peppermint
Jonathan sat back down, drinking his coffee. He turned when he saw Edgar stalking toward an empty cup. He snickered.
Amelia woke to the smell of peppermint and decided to get up, curious. When she came into the galley, she recognized the smell as peppermint tea.
She greeted everyone, receiving waves from Boris and Jonathan. She then chuckled at the sight of Edgar as she sat down next to Keigo. Though, she did notice someone was missing.
“Where’s Bull? Or did he come out earlier?”she asked.
," not sure where hes at now but he did come out earlier." Kera said and sipped her tea neck to Jonathan. She yawned softly and went to go look for the sullen beast
Amelia shrugged, noticing that Kera and Jonathan were sitting next to each other. It still bewildered her that they had known each other.
She affectionately leaned against Keigo, watching as Kera left.
Bull was brooding in his room. He kept replaying the conversation with Jonathan and Kera earlier in his head, over and over. It was strange that Jonathan would become so defensive of someone like Kera after just one day.
“Were they just childhood friends that lost touch, or is something else going on?”Bull asked his thoughts aloud.
" do you really wanna know?" Kera spoke softly. Her feet fell soundlessly as she entered his room
Bull looked up with a glare, his hand immediately sliding under his pillow where a gun was doubtlessly hidden.
“Why are you in here? And why the fuck is Jonathan defending you now when two days ago you were going after him?”he growled.
KERA lowered her head " I didn't mean to scare him. I just wanted to show him something but he seemed so shut up…" She spoke softly
Bull’s glare sharpened.
“There’s a reason for that! Folks like you and ol’ Shithead have preyed on him since I met the kid. Now, I don’t know what you two were like as children, but if you’re like Maxim in any fucking way, I won’t just smack you in the head, I’ll shoot you. Jonathan is a good fucking kid, got a heart as big as his brain, but he’s only now getting out from under that asshole called his brother. I won’t tolerate anyone fucking that up for him,”Bull said, his voice stern.
" I'm not like max." She said heated
Bull huffed.
“Then why did you jump on him when you could’ve simply asked to show him something? That’s what shuts him down, and he was already quieter than usual because Shithead fucking died.”
Kera flinched whenever he mentioned the death. " I jumped because I was Stupid. Just, don't ride my ass about it" kera hoped Jonathan would come to her rescue. She hated being alone with bull
“You were fucking stupid, huh? That’s a whiny excuse. Growing desperate because you can’t hide your nature?”Bull growled.
He noticed the flinch and an eyebrow rose.
“Did you not know he was dead, or did you? Do you want to how that fucking prick died?”Bull asked.
Jonathan was watching Edgar play with a cup when he glanced at the clock. He realized that Kera had been gone a bit longer than he had thought. Where was she? Did she find Bull?
Jonathan then decided to check while on his way back to his room. He grabbed a sandwich and his coffee, then headed out, wondering if Kera was alright.
Edgar noticed him leave, but decided to play around a bit longer.
" h..how'd he die.. please tell me.." she asked softly
Bull hummed, noting Kera’s reaction.
“Now, I will say this beforehand, I didn’t see it happen. I just cleaned up the mess afterward,”he stated.
He then explained the basic idea of how Maxim and Amelia had been in a bad relationship, and how the rest of the crew eventually met Keigo and joined him.
“… Well, after we left, it turned out that Maxim had stowed away on Amelia’s ship. He then ambushed Kei while the pair of them were checking the ships. Kei got shot and Amelia went to defend him, putting three bullets in Shithead and one of her daggers straight through his fucking heart. And that, is how ol’ Shithead met his well-deserved end.”
Jonathan walked down the hall and noticed Bull’s door was cracked. He approached cautiously, hoping Bull and Kera weren’t fighting. As he drew near, he heard Bull’s last bit on how Maxim died and froze.
Tears welled in Jonathan’s eyes and his hands started to shake badly. He gasped and quickly disappeared in his room, setting aside his sandwich and coffee and curling up against the wall.
Kera heard Jonathan's gasp " babe.." she said and went after him. Kera walked into his room and sighed " hey.." she said as tears streamed down her face
Bull stood at the sound of the gasp, though his heart sank when he heard the fast moving footsteps. He had hoped it wasn’t Jonathan, but it undoubtedly was.
He then narrowed his eyes in confusion when Kera ran after him.
“‘Babe’?”he mumbled, an eyebrow raised. That definitely sounded more serious than friendship.
Jonathan shakily looked up at Kera’s entrance, two long tear streaks already on his face.
“I… didn’t know… how…”he breathed, his shaky voice barely audible. He curled up again, oblivious to Edgar entering the room at that moment.
Edgar chirped and cooed, trying to get Jonathan’s attention, to no avail.
Kera shut his door, walking up to his bed and pulling him close. " I'm so sorry.."
Jonathan wrapped around Kera, desperately needing the comfort. He didn’t seem to hear her apology as he cried.
Edgar curled up next to the pair, chirping occasionally and lightly plucking at Jonathan’s shirt.
Kera held out her hand for Edgar " I'm sorry bud.." she said softly to the birdy
She held onto Jonathan tightly and nuzzled into him
