Kera got up and shook her head. Laughing and grabbing more snow. It was late when she started shivering and stoped laughing. Kera held herself tightly to try and keep warm

Jonathan noticed Kera and walked over to her, wrapping an arm around her. He was getting cold himself, so he didn’t have to ask.

Bull paused and took a deep breath, watching the mist puffing from his mouth and nose. He then turned to the pair.

“I was wondering when you two were gonna pause. Early mornings here are always the fucking coldest. Hmm… hot cocoa for everybody? I can make a damn good cup of it,”Bull asked, heading back to the ship.

Kera smiled gratefully " thanks bull " she said, her voice A bit Shakey

“Yup,”Bull replied.

Bull went to put up his winter gear, then led the way to the galley. He cleaned the coffeemaker and got some hot water going. While he was waiting on that, he got out three cups and anything else he needed.

Kera sat at the table and shivered quite a bit. She regretted going out so early. Her teeth chattered softly as she curled up

Jonathan sat down next to Kera and held her close so they could share some warmth. He was shivering, but not as bad as she was.

Bull finished making the hot cocoa and passed them each a cup, sitting down and holding his cup with shaky hands.

“Well, even though we pretty much froze ourselves, that was fun, wasn’t it?”Jonathan asked after a moment, chuckling.

" yeah!" Kera said with a soft smile. She took a sip of her drink and sighed happily " really good bull, again thanks so much."

“Yeah it was. And you’re welcome,”Bull replied.

Jonathan snickered, then gave Kera a soft smile back. Bull noticed this and hummed.

“Okay, I got to ask. I overheard Boris mumbling something about you two being together. I didn’t get a chance to ask him, though. So, is that true, you’re a couple now?”Bull asked, looking between them inquisitively.

“Yes,”Jonathan replied calmly.

Bull blinked, then turned to Kera to hear her answer.

Kera nodded softly " yeah, I hope there won't be a problem. That's what I was trying to say earlier. " She said and laid her head on Jonathan

Jonathan turned, smiling at Kera.

Bull just stared at them for a moment. He then shook his head.

“How did you two end up like this after, what, a day or two? Before that, you two were basically enemies. It’s confusing as shit.”

“It’s a long story,”Jonathan replied, snickering as he looked up.

That only seemed to bewilder Bull even more.

" I'd had a crush on him as kids too, though I didn't even know it was him until I was told about max and him. Though we were separated young.."

Bull shook his head and sighed.

“And let me guess, you were crushing on her,”he said to Jonathan.

“Actually no. I was terrified of Kera as a kid. Though, that was mostly caused by Max, but that’s a whole other subject. But, despite my terror, I was fascinated by her,”Jonathan replied with a snicker, glancing at Kera with a warm smile.

Bull hummed.

“Now, what’s this whole separation deal?”he asked, genuinely curious.

“I was, like, eleven or so, when it happened. But separation is pretty much it. Our parents and the other adult crewmates just vanished from what I know, and we’ve been on our own since. Max and I basically fended for ourselves up until he started the Tricky Skippers crew. I’m not sure about Kera here. And, kinda like she said, I didn’t even realize it was her until we started talking,”Jonathan explained.

Bull blinked, then hummed again. He turned to Kera.

“What about you? Pretty much the same story up until you met Keigo?”he asked.

" actually no, keigo and I found each other not that long after my dad disappeared. He said he knew my dad and was the last one to see him. During the years we grew close but we never got any farther then a peck on the cheek. We were always so busy with the crew and things that we forgot about our relationship. The day I got caught was the day keigo realized that. Mostly because he never thought he'd see me give up. But I sat there, watching keigo seize and..and… The shot rang so loud.." Kera had teared up from talking about her 'accident', her voice becoming Shakey.

Jonathan gently rubbed her back, looking at Kera with concern. He then held her close, continuing to rub her back. It pained him that she was still haunted by that moment.

Bull listened closely then sighed, shaking his head.

“Don’t focus on that moment too much, alright? It won’t do you any good. It’s already past. Now, considering what you said about Keigo knowing your pa, has he ever given you a clue to what happened to him? Does he even know? And who are your parents anyway? I get the sense that I might know them, or, at least, of them,”Bull asked, looking between the two.

“My mother was Captain Esmeralda May. My father, I remember him being called Theo a lot, was the helmsman,”Jonathan answered.

Bull considered the names a moment, then pointed at Kera.

“And yours?”

" Edward, Edward revera, he picked up extra projects and cooked. " She said softly and relaxed In Jonathan's arms " I never knew my mother. I was always told she died at birth."

Bull winced at the mention of how Kera’s mother supposedly died. He then hummed, deep in thought for a moment.

“I think I might have sold weapons to Esmeralda and her crew around twenty years ago,”Bull said.

He then looked at the pair, studied their features. He nodded after a moment.

“Yeah. You got Esmeralda’s brown hair. And you… I can’t remember much of Edmund’s face at the moment, but I can tell the relation. Anyway, we only met three times and that was it, so I really didn’t get to know them,”Bull explained.

Jonathan stared at Bull, unsure how to react.

Kera studied bull, yawning softly and leaning a little more on Jonathan. " Thanks for the info bull.."

(Happy New Year)

Bull shrugged,”I got around when I was younger. But, anyway, you look ready for a nap. Hell, I think a nap would do us all good.”

Bull then stood and stretched, yawning loudly. He then grabbed the three empty cups before heading out of the galley.

“‘Night, you two. I had fun,”Bull said before disappearing.

Jonathan snickered,”Goodnight, Bull.”

Jonathan then turned to Kera, yawning a bit.

“Well, should we head back?”Jonathan asked softly.

" yeah but I don't really wanna move.." she pouted.

Jonathan snickered.

“I know the feeling. But… if we get up now, we can cuddle up together under a nice, cozy blanket. Eh?”

" mmm finnneee" she said and got up. Kera walked back to the bedroom and got into the blankets " warm " she said happily

Jonathan chuckled at Kera’s response, then followed her and snuggled up with her. He chuckled again, then yawned.

“I’m glad you’re warm. Goodnight, Kera. Or… technically morning, but either way,”he said softly, smiling at her.
