Jonathan’s smile brightened at hers, and he stared at her with loving eyes.

" love you," she said softly

“Love ya, too,”Jonathan replied happily, his voice just as soft as hers.

Kera nuzzled against him, yawning softly

Jonathan tenderly wrapped his arms around her, yawning after her.

Kera intertwined their legs as she dowsed back asleep.

Jonathan chuckled, holding Kera close. He dozed off minutes after her.

“I’m done with her fucking shit! We need to get that two-faced fucking bitch out of here! First, she goes after everybody. Then, she hooks up with Beta. And now, she reveals that she’s a fucking champion in the fucking fighting ring, and that she was hiding that the entire time, even from you, Kei!”Bull snapped.

“Bull, don’t you think we should consider everything that’s happened before we just kick her out? Sure, she’s a definite bitch, but look at the way Jonathan has been acting. I haven’t seen him this close to normal since fucking Maxim died,”Amelia replied.

“And how do we know she’s not manipulating him, hmm? She grew up with him and Shithead. There’s no telling how good she is at manipulation, and a few well placed words and kisses here or there can do a lot to any man,”Bull retorted.

Keigo sat and listened, " I knew kera had her intentions, but, other then to me, she's done no harm. Nothing suggests she's manipulating him, and trust me I know what that feels and looks like. "

Bull sighed.

“But, how do we know she’s not manipulating him in private? Beta doesn’t often openly show what bothers him, and if she’s forcing him to act happy, then we’ve got a problem. A big one,”he said.

“I get that worry, but Jonathan is no idiot. If he’s in trouble, he’ll message one of us,”Amelia said.

“She’s a hacker, remember? And the other day, he was saying that she had terrified him as a kid. And with all that, and everything else she’s done, it bothers the shit out of me that Beta is with her,”Bull said.

" kera also scared Jonathan because she liked him back then and didn't know that following was stalking." He said

“And didn’t Maxim have a part to play in that situation as well?”Amelia added rhetorically.

Bull huffed.

“Despite all that, the fact that she can scare him so easily is something I don’t like. Besides, I still say she’s somehow manipulating him, because he still barely talks to the rest of us. He just acts happier about it. He’s been cooped up in his fucking room with that bitch for days now,”he insisted.

Amelia glanced at Keigo with a small smile.

“Just because he stays with her all the time doesn’t point to it as a bad thing. There is such a thing as wanting to be constantly around someone you like or love,”she mentioned, leaning contentedly against Keigo to further prove her point.

Bull almost glared at Amelia for suggesting that, then sighed heavily, shaking his head.

“Regardless of what the fuck is going on between the two, I still don’t like that they’re together. I, apparently, can’t fucking explain why, but I just have this bad fucking feeling, and I mean fucking bad, that Kera is going to get Beta hurt. Call me fucking paranoid if you want, but that feeling is there, and she’s got something to do with it. I just know she does,”he said.

" going on hunches can get you killed. Talking from experience. " Kera said as she stood in the doorway

Keigo chuckled when kera finally spoke up " finally get tired of it?"

Bull turned when Kera spoke and glared at her.

“Being always prepared improves my chances of living. Now why the fuck are you in here? Weaving a new lie to tell Beta?”he hissed.

“Bull,”Amelia warned.

He sighed, rolling his eyes but understanding her warning. If he got out of hand, Amelia would intervene, and she could easily be harsh with him.

Amelia watched Bull carefully, but was more curious what Keigo had meant. Tired of what? Bull being an ass? The general hostility of the crew toward her? Or something else?

“ Keira doesn’t take kindly to people talking behind her back. She has one rule. Just one. If you have something to say, say it to her face. And bull just broke that rule with no disregard of her being there about a good three fourths of the conversation.”

Keira reached into the cabinet and grabbed to poptart packets, put one in the toaster and the others on a plate with milk.

Bull rolled his eyes, watching Kera.

“Understandable, but I don’t think a conversation with the Captain about kicking her off necessarily requires her, particularly with her behavior,”he said.

“Bull, can you cool it for a moment? Because all you’re doing is making yourself look like a bigger ass. I get that you don’t trust, or like, Kera. I feel the same, and I’m not afraid to say that with her in the room. But, consider her most recent behavior, particularly toward Jonathan,”Amelia said.

Bull smirked, displeased by Amelia’s words. She sighed.

“Just think about it, please. Jonathan’s in pain. He won’t come to me, since I killed Maxim. And he might be avoiding Boris because he doesn’t know how to explain what’s going on. But, Kera knew Maxim as a kid, and understands how personal this pain is to Jonathan. It’s honestly weird for me to say this, given how I feel about Kera, but she’s actually helping him. And he needs that, even if he won’t openly admit it,”Amelia said.

Bull considered her words for a long moment, then gave a heavy sigh.

“Alright, you made your point, but I want proof that you’re actually soothing him. And something a bit more genuine than the fact that you’re humping his brains out,”Bull said, turning to Kera.

“Really, Bull?”Amelia commented with a sigh. She was blushing a bit at Bull’s blunt words about Jonathan and Kera’s relationship. It was still weird for her to think of the pair as an actual couple.

Kera shoot her head. " Go ask. He'll tell you himself. Even without me in there. " She said and popped her poptarts

(If you want, I can break this apart so the conversation involves Kera and Keigo more. I’m casual, whether you want to or not)

Bull glared at her, then glanced at Amelia.

“Could you bring him in here? I ain’t leaving, and I want you and Kei to be witnesses. If you want to, bring Boris too,”Bull said.

Amelia sighed, shaking her head, but left. When she got to Jonathan’s room, she knocked, told him that there was a discussion going on, and waited for him to come out. Jonathan didn’t take long, though he looked like he’d just woken up from a nap, which he had.

Amelia then got Boris to come with, and led the pair to the others. Bull turned to watch them enter and Jonathan rolled his eyes, already guessing what was coming.

“Tell me honestly, Beta, has this bitch been manipulating you in any fucking way?”Bull asked.

“You’ve got to be fucking kidding me. Seriously, Bull? No. And don’t fucking question it, because I am well aware of what manipulation feels like!”Jonathan hissed.

“Has she treated you like shit in any way?”Bull continued.

“Since we found out that we knew each other, no. In fact, she’s been the exact opposite. So, ya can fuck off now with that bullshit.”

“Do you have proof?”

Jonathan rolled his eyes.

“Do I have to get the fucking security camera footage? I’m telling ya now, some of it’s explicit, and some of it is either us just hanging out or Kera comforting me. And Bull, before ya say anything else, I get it that you’re protective of me, and I do appreciate it, but you’re looking in the wrong fucking place for danger,”Jonathan stated.

Bull sighed irritably, then turned to Keigo, gesturing that he could take over the conversation. He then sat down, glaring at the wall. Amelia and Boris watched silently.

keigo shook his head. " shes stayin. thats final. kera's showed no signs of doing harm, manipulating or taking advantage of beta. hes perfectly fine." he said

kera chuckled and handed jonathan his poptarts " here, warmed them for ya," she said and leaned her head on his shoulder.

Bull sighed and nodded, disappointed but deferring to Keigo. He stayed silent, too irritated to be polite.

He didn’t turn to watch as Kera spoke to Jonathan. Instead, he continued to glare at the wall.

Boris watched everything calmly, pondering if he could talk to Bull later and help him calm down. Though, he had a feeling Bull wouldn’t be in the mood to talk to anyone later.

Amelia didn’t complain about Keigo’s decision. It would help Jonathan in the end, even if Bull continued to be upset about it. Jonathan was who she was concerned about, and if Kera made him happy, then Amelia would just have to suck it up and deal with Kera’s presence.

Jonathan listened to Keigo, inwardly relieved by his decision. The thought of losing Kera, particularly with the way his emotions currently were, was terrifying.

He turned away, pushing aside his thoughts, as Kera handed him the plate.

“Ooh, thank ya,”Jonathan said, smiling warmly at her.

Kera nodded and gave a soft smile. " Welcome. "

Keigo noticed bulls look." No one is allowed to harm Kera unless she invited you in her rink. Fighter or not I will not have this ship turned into a waring state two days from Amelia's wedding. Jonathan, your free to go. Kera stick around, I'm cleaning the coffee pot for ya now. "

Bull sighed, turning to Keigo.

“Yeah, I get that. I may be a grouchy bastard, but I learned a long time ago not to get violent with your own crew. Let’s just say, I lost my dignity, a ship, and the shipment inside said ship all in one day. Never again,”he replied.

“There was a couple close calls there six months ago,”Boris commented.

Bull snorted,”Whole other story there. I had ample reason to, at least think about, slamming Shank’s head into the wall, or decking Shithead.”

Boris shrugged,”True.”

Jonathan nodded at Keigo’s words, holding a poptart.

“I’ll finishing eating. After that, it would probably be a good idea if I properly brushed this mess,”he commented with a snicker, pointing at his disheveled hair. He had brushed it with his fingers while dressing, but he still had a bit of bedhead.

He then turned back to eating, deliberately ignoring the conversation between Bull and Boris.

kera got a cup of tea after the pot was cleaned. ( dude what if keigo didn't compleatly clean the pot on accident )

(Oof)

Bull and Boris continued rambling on, changing subjects repeatedly. It was clearly helping Bull calm down, and it eventually became obvious that Boris was deliberately changing subjects to further soothe the man.

Amelia watched everything, smiling a bit at what Boris was doing. He always seemed to know how to calm folks down.

Jonathan continued eating, glancing at Kera a few times as she made her tea, just because he could. He was actually in a fairly good mood, despite Bull’s irritating questions earlier.

kera had taken a drink, but only a few minutes later, kera started coughing. she set her up down, feeling her skin start to burn around her throat. why the hell couldn't she breathe.

Amelia and Bull turned, both watching Kera in confusion. Neither could think of a reason why Kera would abruptly start coughing.

Boris turned and straightened, confused and concerned. He shifted to get up, just in case he needed to. It could simply be that she had swallowed a bit too much tea at once. Hopefully.

Jonathan turned as well, watching Kera carefully.

“Kera?”he asked gently.

He glanced at the tea, then the coffeemaker. His eyes widened a bit. Had Keigo missed something while rinsing it?

“Boris!”he said urgently.

Boris, his hopes shattered at Jonathan’s expression, immediately got up and ran to grab his medkit.

Kera could feel her throat close as she started gasping for air. Tears streamed her face. Her neck and lower face turned red

“Hang in there, Kera. Hang in there,”Jonathan said. He repeatedly glanced at the door for Boris, impatiently waiting on him.

Amelia and Bull watched, a bit helpless in that moment since Boris was really the only person who could help Kera.

Boris hurriedly ran back, noticing Kera. Grimacing, he quickly sat down his bag and dug through it until he found a syringe with the medicine that would help her.

After a quick check of the dosage, Boris moved over and stabbed it into Kera’s thigh. He then watched her closely, watching for the medicine’s effects.

(He basically gave her an Epipen, I guess. I just left it vague because I have little knowledge of it)
