You peer around the metallic corridors carefully, tiptoeing through the ship silently as you make your way to the observation room. It sure was cold on this ship, then again you didn't think robotic aliens didn't need to be warm. You reach the room and go to the giant window that looked out at the stars. Right now the pirates were fast asleep since your sleeping schedules were very different. Leaning on the railing you become very aware you weren't alone.

"Hello ___, enjoying your time alone?" The captain's calm question makes you look back to find red eyes gazing at you in the dark room. Your heart gave a jump, stomach churning uneasily.

"Ah, hello captain, can't sleep?" You ask turning to him as he approaches. He's taken an unsettling interest in you.

"I was hoping to see you actually." Kid purrs fingers sliding up your thigh. Your fingers twitch, feeling alarmed again. He had a habit of coming onto you, and it freaked you out because you were aware of his intentions. His metal hand rests on the railing beside you as he leans down to look at your face. "You've been avoiding me."

"I-I have not, I've just been busy with chores." You manage carefully meeting his eyes. He smiles with a chuckle fingers trailing up your stomach steadily.

"Don't lie. Just admit it, you're scared of me. So inexperienced with the way the universe works, how often different beings come together for... Sexual purposes?" He tilts his head glancing to the side. You blush heavily, heart going wild with fear and uneasiness. Kid looks back at your face and smiles again. "Don't worry, the Donquixote Family removes the reproductive organs from those they abduct, those aliens sell better." He moves his body closer.

"I'll be gentle at first," He purrs, tipping your chin. You weren't entirely sure what it was that caused it, but you snapped. Pushing him away you glare at him shaking.

"I'm not a toy Kid! And that happens to be a sensitive subject for me! I'm not going to give myself to you unless I'm in love with you. And I don't love you. You scare me and that's about it!" You snap before storming out, leaving the pirate captain utterly shocked. You hide in the room given to you utterly embarrassed and angry. "Stupid Robotee...."

Now he seemed to be avoiding you. You were thankful for that, apparently the Robotee's weakness was the word love. Must be bothered by something he had no understanding of. Or he understood and it made him uncomfortable. Either way, you were no longer worried about him. Surprisingly working on a Space pirate ship wasn't as horrible as you imagined, in fact it was interesting.

"___," You look up as Killer comes over.

"I'm almost finished here Killer. Is there anything else that needs to be done?" You ask.

"No, I want you to be my sparring partner, bring what weapons you want after you're done, I'll be waiting in the training room." He tells you before going past. You pale slightly. Sparring partner? Oh this may ensure your death...

After you were finished cleaning, you grab the power gloves and gun before heading to the training room. You walk in finding that you and Killer had an audience. Even Kid was there to watch. Swallowing nervously going to stand across from him and getting ready.

"Are you ready?" Killer asks. You offer a nod getting ready. He suddenly lunges with his blades. The speed surprised you and you swiftly roll to the side, dodging the blades. He turns on you swiftly, blades glinting. Finding an opening, you swing your fisr, connecting with his stomach. A cough sounds behind the mask but he still moves to follow through with his attack. You roll away again fist connecting with his side. He grunts slashing at you. The blade grazes your cheek and your eyes widen, flipping back and striking the floor as he lunges after you. The ground juts up, hooking his foot and tripping him. You swiftly grab his arm, slamming him into the ground, gun trained on his head.

"Oops, sorry." You holster your gun and stand up as the others applaud.

"Heh... I underestimated you ___." Killer gets up easily.

"What?" You ask confused.

"It was to see if you can handle yourself in a fight.... I wasn't expecting you to have so much back bone." His voice makes you look over to find Kid smiling in approval. You raise an eyebrow before looking away.

"So... Initiation into the crew?" You guess.

"That's right." Kid rumbles.

"Come on, let's celebrate! We have a special dinner for you ___." Killer rumbles pulling you along to the galley. You were confused until you saw the very American buffet that sat in the galley. A grin comes to your lips and you giggle putting a hand over your mouth. How unexpected.

"There's a smile finally." Heat chuckles patting your head.

"I can't believe... Is that really-"

"We send underlings all over to get food. I had some go visit Earth..." Kid speaks up. You look back at him in clear surprise. He just shrugs. "Plus you don't touch half of what Wire makes. I want to see if Earth food is just as good."

"Ah... Don't be mad at me if you don't like it." You muse making a plate. They soon follow your example. You dig in giggling a bit more, you missed your home food. Drake was the one that helped you find some food you liked, even cooked for you once. You pause, feeling your chest squeeze. How was he? Did they escape the acid?

"Hey, you okay ___?" Killer brings you back.

"Yeah, it's just been a while..." You smile peering at the others, they seemed to be enjoying it, you pause as your eyes meet Kid's. He offers a smirk and you look back down with a blush finishing your food before putting up your plate and then heading out to the observation room. You look out at the nearing galaxy, pulling out the spacer pendant out. You look at it and frown.

"Don't tell me you miss being a spacer?" Kid rumbles behind you. You look back at him and pause.

"Not really, I just miss my friend I suppose." You put it back in your pocket.

"You're okay with joining the crew right?" He asks, watching you carefully.

"I don't have anywhere else to go Kid. And your crew treats me well, and..." You look at him, 'Youve stopped your advances...' You add silently.

"I get it... Sorry about uh.... Making you angry earlier. I didn't know Earthlings were.... Emotional about that sort of thing..." He manages awkwardly.

"So most er... Beings are like that out here?" You lean back on the railing, folding your arms.

"Well yeah... I guess earthlings treasure themselves more than others." He muses looking to the side. "It's a bit odd.. but I can get used to it." He mutters.

"You might have to," You offer a smile.
