Wild pt3~ Eustass Kid x Reader

 


       Kid and Killer look at each other before looking at you. Your pupils were huge as you watched something beneath the waves, muscles rippling slightly. "Uh... ___? What are-" You suddenly dive into the water. "___!" He calls in shock. 

      "I thought she was a devil fruit user." Killer rushes to the railing looking into the waves.

      "She's swimming sir." Heat tells them from the crows nest. There's a large splash next to the ship and you reappear with the thin neck of a sea king in your mouth as you hall the large beast over the railing the crew gaps at you. You drop the neck in front of Kid and grin up at him victoriously.

       "Do you love it?" You ask.

       "Love it?" He echoes confused. You blink and deflate looking at the sea king with a frown. 

       "I got it for you..." You tell him. Kid pauses blushing a bit.

       "Oh... Thanks, I love it." He crouches and pats your head. You beam at that cheerfully. 

       "We were running low on meat anyway." The cook says getting some others to help him portion it.

       "I thought you were a devil fruit user." Kid huffs.

       "A what?" You tilt your head. Kid and Killer look at each other.

        "Never mind, just makes you even more unique." Killer says thoughtfully.

        "Uni... Unicorn?"  You echo confused.

        "Unique." Kid corrects. 

        "What does that mean?" You inquire. 

        "Don't worry about it... Come on let's get you dried up and... Shit... Do we have clothes that will fit her?" Kid asks looking around while you look at him curiously.

         "I can make something for her," Heat speaks up.

         "Um... What's going on?" You murmur to Kid utterly lost.

         "She might as well take a bath then." Killer folds his arms.

         "What's a bath?" Your innocent question mage the men pause and huddle up.

         "Who's going to teach her?" Heat whispers. "Captain?" He tries.

         "I can't..." Kid hisses, already bright red with a slight nosebleed.

         "Then Killer." One whispers. 

         "W-Why me?" Killer questions.

         "You can control yourself, and you will make a good father figure." Another agrees.

         "I'm not prepared for this... Have you looked at her?" Killer grumbles.

         "We can't just leave her like that, she'll get sick." Kid frowns. Killer pauses for a moment before sighing heavily. 

         "Fine I'll do it. But you guys owe me." He says pulling away. "Hopefully my mask can protect my face if she feels threatened..." 

         "Good luck!" They others whisper. Killer just scoffs going over to you.

         "Come on, I'll give you a bath." He says helping you stand up.

         "Okay." You smile still lost.

         You sink into the warm water curiously looking at the bubbles. Killer relaxes a bit once you're concealed in the bubbles. But he still saw everything, your lack of shyness caught him off guard, he really should have expected that.... "Oh, you won't like-" You already chomped on a bubble mound, making a face and coughing them back out.

        "Bad clouds..." You puff adorably. Killer chuckled to himself going over and kneeling beside the tub. 

        "Actually, those are bubbles.." He informs you. 

        "Bad bubbles... Why couldn't Kid come?" You ask him.

        "Eh... Let's just say he's bad at teaching people." He replies grabbing a cup and filling it with water before pouring it over your head. You pause and smile enjoying the warmth.

         "Why do you wear that helmet? Do you not like your face too?" You inquire curiously. He pauses.

         "I... Why don't you like your face? You're beautiful." He says frowning behind his helmet. You touch your cheek a frown coming to your lips.

        "Because it makes me different... An abomination... I know it's not a nice word because they only said it to me. I was happy to not be in the cage but I didn't want to be all alone..." Tears begin to burn your eyes. "That's why I hide my face..."

      You cover your face to keep the tears from falling but stop when something catches your ear. You look over as Killer sets down his helmet, and offers a smile. His face was littered with scars but his eyes were a clear blue. "You don't have to hide your face anymore ___, because we all like you just the way you are." He cups your cheek. "Now let's get you cleaned up."

      He spent the next minutes teaching you how to wash up, which you caught on to fast since you did a similar thing back on the island whenever the bananadiles were sleeping. "Will you take a bath with me next time?" You question.

     "That.... I.... I don't think I can handle that..." His scarred face turns red. You frown disappointed and look down. Killer frowns at that too. "... Ah what the hell, it should be fine as long as I keep my boxers on." He muses with a smile.

     "You will?" You pick up your head becoming hopeful.

     "Yeah, you hate being alone right?" He rumbles grabbing a towel for you.

     "Yes." You breathe.

     "Then it's settled, now stand up so we can dry you off." He tells you. You do and he bundles you up in the towel, drying your hair. "There we go." He murmurs and a knocks sounds at the door.

      "Clothes are done." Heat says through the door. Killer goes to the door and opens it, taking the clothes offered before returning to you.

      "I'm... Going to have to dress you aren't I?" He guesses as you look at the clothes curiously. "Yep.." He answers himself. 

      The clothes suited you at least, the top and bottom were still animal hide, but the undergarments- which you were never aware of, we're made of a much softer material. You pivot a bit and smile up at him. "I love these!" You chime.

     "Glad you do... Come on, let's go show everyone your new look." He chuckles ushering you out. You hurry back out, spotting Kid and cheerfully going over to him, head pressing into his side affectionately. Kid blinks and looks over before smiling.

      "How was it?" He asks.

      "I loved it! It was very warm! And I smell like pretty leaves now!" You chime happily.

      "You mean flowers?" He guesses, fingers brushing the hair away from your face.

      "Is that what they're named?" You beam up at him.

     "Yep." He chuckles as the large metal arm catches your eye. You sniff at it curiously tapping a hand on it carefully. It moves the slightest and you hop back growling at it warily, claws coming out. "It's okay ___, This is going to be my new arm." He assures, patting it. You relax going back over carefully.

     "Why? I like you how you are." You tell him with a frown. Pink invades his face and he swiftly shifts his gaze.

     "I can't fight like this ___, don't worry, it'll be fine." He says.

     "Okay then." You smile, rubbing your cheek against his chest, making the pink darken as his fingers brush through your hair again.

      "Alright... What's this?" He touches your stomach. This had become routine now, whenever you and Kid retired to his room he would quiz your word knowledge.

      "Guts!" You answer. He chuckles softly.

      "Stomach, it hides your guts." He tells you.

      "Oh." 

      "Let's see, what about here?" He gestures to your chest.

      "Hm.... Knockers!" You grin. He blushes again, eyes narrowing.

     "Who taught you that?" 

     "I picked it up." You respond smiling.

     "Chest is what it's called." He tells you. You blink at your breasts then at his chest. Placing your hands on his chest a frown comes to your lips. "What are you doing?" Kid inquires carefully.

      "Why are we so different?" You murmur dropping your hands. 

      "We're not that different, this is the normal difference between guys and girls. You'll see when we reach an island and meet another girl." He breathes thoughtfully.

      "So we're supposed to be different?" You tilt your head.

      "Yeah." He places his hand on your head. "But you still shouldn't let differences bother you." 

      "Because you like me as I am?" You guess he chuckles and nods.

      "Damn right." He rumbles. You tilt your head and let out a sigh. "What's wrong?"

       "That word confuses me...." 

       "Oh.... Sorry..."
