          You were bored again, you wanted to pick on someone- Ah, this’ll be fun. A smirk finds it’s way onto your lips. Hello again Eustass Kid. You watch him and his crew take a seat in the corner of the pub. Lets play a different game of cat and mouse.
         “Bartender, I would like to order a drink for the man in the corner, red hair.” You smile, paying him. “Make it whiskey.” The bartender nods and goes to do so. Upon his return, you can sense curious gazes on you.
         “You sure that’s the kind person that you want to attract?” The bartender asks.
         “Don’t worry about me bartender,” You giggle lightly. After a little while, you decide to order another drink for the redhead. The bartender returns, giving you a curious look now. Then someone sits beside you at the bar.
          “You want something beautiful?” Kid purrs with a knowing smile- but he didn’t, he had no idea what you were up to.
         “I might… I’ve heard a lot about you, Mr. Eustass.” You smile back.
         “Call me Kid. What can I do for ya?” He rumbles.
         “I was hoping a big strong man like yourself could walk me home…” You breathe, leaning on him, fingers walking up his arm softly. He swallows and smiles.
         “You’re safe with me.” He says huskily. You smile more and get up, walking for the door, fingertips grazing his neck playfully. You go out and he’s right behind you. “So, what’s your name?” He places an arm around your shoulders. He smelt good.
        “___, thanks for agreeing to come Kid. It was sweet.” You smile hugging his torso. He chuckles, rubbing his neck, cheeks darkening slightly.
         “Lets keep it between us, I do have a reputation.” He murmurs.
         “Of course.” You hum.
         “So… Where do you live?” He inquires looking around as you lead him to the edge of town.
         “Just up this path, it’s scary in the woods…” You hug him tighter.
         “Hey, don’t worry, I’ll protect ya. You’ll be home safe and sound soon.” He rubs your shoulder softly. How strange, he wasn’t acting like you anticipated. He doesn’t make any other moves as you lead him deeper. Finally, you pull away with a quiet sigh. “___? Something wrong?” He inquires.
          “You… Are really… Too damn sweet. I cant believe you let me lead you out here.” You say, starting to pace. “A-And you haven’t done anything like I was expecting.”
           “Alright, what are you talking about, was this a trick?” Kid seemed to grit his teeth, and you feel some guilt. Ah well…
          The blades come out and you collide into him, taking him down. Your knees pin down his arms, blade inches above his face. His eyes widen. “It’s you…” He breathes. You falter and frown, sheathing the blade.
          “Damn…” You sit back on his chest. You puff your cheeks and fold your arms. He blinks up at you in confusion.
           “What are you… What are you doing?” He inquires.
           “Don’t talk to me right now… Or look at me with those puppy dog eyes.” You grumble.
           “Puppy dog??... What the hell are you talking about?” He huffs.
           “I said don’t talk, I’m debating what to do now.” You retort looking around.
           “What? Suddenly don’t want to kill me?” He scoffs.
           “Yes.” You frown at him briefly.
           “Then let me up.” He says.
           “No… Wait…” You rub your temple. He frowns in annoyance and shifts before sitting up suddenly. You fall back on his lap, blades on his neck instinctively. He blinks at you, grabbing your wrists and moving the blades away. He leans forward with a frown.
          “If you’re going to pin someone down, make sure you got weight to keep them down.” He growls.
            “Well it was only supposed to take a second to kill you.” You defend. His eyes narrow and you smirk, pecking his lips. “I killed Eustass Kid. And he made it so easy.” You hiss jumping to your feet and moving away.
            “You punk…” He snarls getting up.
            “Hahaha, and you called me beautiful! So sweet.” You tease. He blushes lightly, glaring at you.
            “You better not be laughing at me.” He rumbles.
            “I’m not laughing at you Kid. Im just enjoying making you all red, you must’ve had a crush on me.” You wink smiling.
            “I did not!” He snaps. You snicker slipping into the shadows.
            “But you did, were you hoping for a kiss?” You move behind him, feeling up his chest. “Or were you hoping for more?” You whisper. He tenses and you grope his chest. “You have fantastic man boobs.”
           “Get the hell off!” He snaps spinning around as hop back giggling. “And they’re called pecs!”
           “Oh, so they’re called pecs, as in…” You go up to him and peck his chest.
            “… I’m gonna kill you…” He murmurs.
           “Have fun finding town again.” You breathe before walking away into the darkness. You find a tree to climb, walking over branches calmly as you watch him look around.
            “Pain in the ass..” He grumbles, starting in the wrong direction.
            “You’re cold.” Your voice echoes around him. He stops and tries another direction. “There you go, good boy.”
           “Do you enjoy getting on people’s nerves?” He questions.
           “Actually no, but I do like watching you get heated.” You smirk keeping up with him in the trees. He shakes his head at that. “You have very kissable lips by the way.”
           “… Stop talking to me….” He blushes.
           “Tasted like whiskey too.”
           “You’re so damn sneaky.”
           “Mhm, my prey never sees it coming..” You decide to land beside him, making him jump slightly. “Kid I’m scared, will you hold me again?” You tilt your head. He glares at you before putting you in a headlock.
           “Sure, I’ll hold you.” He chuckles as you try to escape.
           “Is this what I get for loving you?” You pout. He freezes, raising an eyebrow and releasing you.
            “… What…???” He huffs.
            “Marry me Kid, lets run away together.” You chuckle straightening up. His eyes narrow at you.
            “You’re a little shit.” He grumbles.
            “I mean it, see?” You hold up a ring.
            “Alright, where’d you get that ring?”
             “Off a body earlier today.”
            “Why the hell would I want to marry you if you got the ring off a dead guy?”
            “Because it means I worked extra hard for it.”
            “How long did it take for the body to drop?”
            “A whole two seconds.”
            “….”
            “…. Why don’t you love me Kid?”
            “Im leaving.”
            He starts for town again and you follow behind looking at the stars. “Hey Kid, what’s it like having a crew?” You ask.
            “It’s fine. We party a lot.” He rubs his neck. “Why are you ask…” He looks back but you’re gone, “See ya…”

            You’ve never seen a woman eat like this before, it was odd to watch too. “Bring me more food! Do you want me to starve!?” She calls between bites in annoyance. Jewelry Bonney was her name, and she was beautiful. She had such a good figure too, where was this food going? You tilt your head, you felt no need to kill this woman.
          A slightly disappointed sigh leaves you as you exit the diner to look around. This was a stone island, so the the only real vegetation was the moss that covered some of it. You’ve been stuck here for two days, and the hunting has been scarce. You pout slightly and start for the piers.
       “Such a sad look on such a pretty face. Come tell Urouge what troubles you miss.” You look over at the large winged man as he pats beside him. Your eyes narrow. Great, another supernova. He smiles widely at you. “You look upset, shall I comfort you?” He spreads his arms out.
       “Sorry, you exceed my size regulations. In more ways than one I’m sure…” You frown at him. He blinks before laughing heartily in amusement.
        “I’ll take that as a compliment.” He chuckles.
        “You do that.” You hum carrying on to the piers. Still no merchants. Screw it, you’ve had enough of this place. So you stole a boat and had back out to sea.
         Days pass and not even another ship appears. You rub your temple, patience slipping. “Just one prey…. Please?” You look at the sky slightly pleading. Then you hear something and get up, looking around until you spot someone. He road over the waves as of powered a jet.
          You would’ve felt relieved if he wasn’t coming straight at you at such a high speed. Was he reading a newspaper right now. “Look out!” You call jumping up. He looked up too late and the boats collide, along with your bodies. You both fall into the water. You swiftly swim up and gasp for air.
         “You!... Where are you?” You look around annoyed. Oh wait… You look down before swiftly diving to the sinking man. You reach him and grab his arm, swimming up with him. “Oh you’re a heavy idiot…” You breathe carrying him over to his little boat that was still intact, and climb in. You pull him on board, his head on your lap. “Don’t die before I give you a piece of my mind.” You growl hitting him in the chest lightly.
          Saltwater spews up into your face and you feel the overwhelming urge to kill. Then his eyes ease open and he blinks up at you a few times. “… Angel…?” He mutters.
         “Actually, I’m the reaper that you just crashed into.” You respond with a tick mark. His eyes widen and he sits up suddenly, forehead smacking against yours. You growl, holding your  forehead.
         “I’m so sorry miss! I haven’t seen another ship in days! I thought it would be okay if I-…. Are you okay?” He looks at you in concern as you shake with a slight, murderous wrath.
        “You’re really unlucky pal—“ You break off as he places a hand over your forehead.
         “No wonder your face is so flushed, you have a fever.” He frowns. “You need to get dried off, come here.” He murmurs bringing you into his chest. You growl in response, trying to pull away. “Hey relax, it’s okay. I’m not going to hurt you miss.” He gives a soft smile. Your body wouldn’t move to hurt him. Damn his freckled face! “I’m Ace by the way, what’s your name?”
         “Tch…. ___...” You grumble, looking to the side.
        “Nice to meet you.” He hums. You tense as fire starts to lick over his skin. “I’m not going to burn you,” He chuckles in amusement, peering at your face. You click your tongue, avoiding his gaze. He smiles a bit, making sure your clothes ar dry before standing up. “I’ll take you to the next island so you can see a doctor.”
          This odd little boat was much faster than the ships you’ve ever been on. Now that he had mentioned it, you were starting to feel weak. When had you gotten sick? You frown slightly, honestly the only doctor you wanted to tend to you was Spike. You sigh quietly and look up at the stars. The cool air makes you shiver, you check you backpack for your blanket only to find it soaked. You frown and the boat slows.
         “You’re cold arent you?” He asks sitting behind you.
         “N-No Im-“ He pulls you onto his lap, holding you warmly.
         “You’re kinda stubborn, arent you?” He teases lightly. You scoff, avoiding his gaze.
          “You’re going to get sick…” You grumble.
          “Don’t you know? Idiots don’t get sick.” He jokes lightly. You pause, pressing your lips together, but you fail and giggle lightly. “I finally made you smile, that’s great.” He smiles widely.
           “Shut up…” You smile.
           “What are you doing out here all alone anyway? Are you looking for someone too?” He asks. You glance at him and look down.
           “Actually… I’m looking for pirates to hunt.” You admit.
          “Oh so, you’re a pirate hunter? No wonder you didn’t like me cuddling you.” He chuckles.
           “Yeah..” You breathe.
           “What’s wrong?” He asks, moving to check your temperature. You catch his hand.
           “You’re cuddling a pirate killer.” You murmur. He pauses before gripping your hand.
            “I don’t see that person right now. I see a woman that needs to find a doctor.” He smiles thoughtfully. You blink at him, feeling odd before pulling your hood over your face.
           “… Idiot…” You mutter, leaning back into him. He rumbles a laugh, hugging you closely.
           “You’re really cute, why don’t you become a pirate instead?”
           “I decline.”
