It's been, what, like a week or two since I woke up on the Victoria Punk? But during those days, I had gone and gotten attached to idiots.

While I am grateful for what Kid did, I don't wanna get attached to them when I have to leave... But then I could ask to jo

"What are you doing?"
"HOLY SHIT!" I jump at the sudden voice, slamming my journal closed and nearly falling off the railing. I loosen my tense body when I realize it had only been Killer.

During my time with them so far, I managed to find an empty notebook when I was snooping in Kid's room while he happened to be asleep. In my defense, Killer told me to go wake him up.

"H-holy shit! Killer, what the hell!? You scared the living crap outta me!"

"What were you doing?" He asks again with genuine curiosity.

"N-nothing." I scoff, avoiding his gaze peeping out through those damn holes.

"Alright then, anyways, just wanted to say we'll be arriving at the next island in a few days then you can finally be relieved of us "incompetent idiots." He informs, adding quotation marks to his words.

"Oh, alright... Thanks." And he walks off. My feet dangled off the side of the ship as I had been doing earlier.

I really didn't want to leave anymore. I had gotten too attached. Hell, even with Kid! I don't know what I want anymore. I wanted to leave at first but now... I let out a groan of agony.

"The hell you groaning about." Kid approaches. "You'll be outta here soon, so shut up will ya."

"Huh, no it's not that. I just- I.." I hesitate.

"You what? Just say it already damn it." He growls.

"It just.. I.. Nevermind..." I mutter. Why is it so hard to explain? So hard to even talk normally?

As he began walking away, I finally just happened to get my thoughts in order.

"Hey Kid?"

"What now!?" He snaps as he turns back, causing me to be nervous again.

"It's just.."

"If you have something to say, spit it out already and stop wasting my time." He snaps.

"I was just wondering if.. I could, possibly join? I- I don't know, it's just a thought." I quickly finish, getting off the railing to go elsewhere.

As I walked passed him, he quickly grabbed my wrist and I turned my head.

"You.. wanna join?" He asks confused, even.. hopeful? But why?

"Like I said, it's just a thought." I mutter.

"It's.. I'll think about it." And he lets go.
