Tough Chick
You were woken up by your door opening and boots approaching your bed. You crack an eye open and look up at Kid sleepily. He smirks, "Come on, breakfast and then back to the generator," He tells you. You sit up only to fall back on the bed. He sweatdrops, "Not good at getting up huh?" He guesses.
"Give me a minute," You yawn stretching.
"Alright, I'll be eating breakfast," He says strolling back out. You sit up rubbing your eyes, had to admit, felt weird being woken up by a person. Rolling your shoulders and stretching more, you get out of bed and to the bathroom to wash your face before changing, strapping on your 9mm and head out. You reach the dining room and plop down next to Kid yawning still.
"Bout time princess," He teases.
"Aw, did you miss me Kid?" You tease back. He chuckles as Sanji brings over breakfast.
"Here you two are, good luck with the generator~" Sanji chimes before disappearing back into the kitchen. You and Kid ate quickly before heading out.
"Where's my cooler?" You ask him.
"Oh, good idea," He murmurs, disappearing into a building. He comes out with your cooler. "Here, Killer stocked it up for us." He rumbles, coming back over. You take the handle with him and start out. "So, how was your first night in an actual bed?" He asks.
"It was pretty nice," You muse thoughtfully.
"I gotta ask, where have you been sleeping?" He inquires. You chuckle sheepishly.
"On the highway..." You admit scratching your nose.
"Did you have a blanket at least?" He asks.
"Nope, I lost that like a week ago..." You tell him.
"You're one tough chick, talk about roughing it," He grunts. You chuckle at that, true enough traveling on foot was hell for you.
"Yeah... How am I alive?" You mutter. He chuckles as you reach the generator.
"Like I said, you're a tough chick, we can use someone like you," He rumbles.
"For what?" You ask, raising an eyebrow. He shrugs.
"Not sure yet, but those tiny hands of yours are bound to be useful," He teases.
"They're not that tiny!" You puff your cheeks at him. He snickers and moves the panel on the generator.
"What the hell?" He mutters. You lean over to peer in.
"Looks like an animal chewed on the wiring..." You mutter, pulling back and looking for tracks. You stiffen when Kid suddenly starts to throw things angrily, cursing loudly.
"Fucking dammit! Those were the last of the wires!" He shouts. You blink and ease your hand onto his shoulder.
"Kid, relax, we'll just go get some from a nearby town," You assure softly.
"We already cleared out the towns west of ours," He tells you.
"Then we'll go north, there's a city that way, there's sure to be a lot to work with," You point out, remembering the map you had been looking at before leaving the last town. "Though it's bound to have a lot of mutants running around," You add rubbing your arms.
"You... Got a problem with mutants?" Kid inquires.
"Well, the last mutants I came across literally tried to eat me so... They kinda scare me... But if we need wires-" You check your clip, "-Then I'm game for the trip," You muse, giving him a smile as you holster your gun. He stares at you for a bit before chuckling.
"Alright, lets go get the truck and head there then," He rumbles. You pause.
"You got a truck to work?" You ask in amazement.
"Yeah, solar powered too." He informs you. You stare at his proud smile. This was him, the man of your fantasies. You knew it. He blinks and and raises a brow under your gaze. "What? You wanna hug me or something?" He teases. He wasn't expecting you to actually hug him, but you did. His skin was cool despite the heat. Kid tenses slightly and pats your back awkwardly.
"You're so cool," You murmur giving him a smile, "In more ways then one."
"Uh... Thanks... You wanna let go now?" He inquires.
"Nope." You respond just to watch his reaction, pink dusts his cheeks but then he smirks and lean down next to your ear.
"I'll give you more attention tonight if that's what you want," He rumbles against your ear, making you shiver slightly. You release him and grab the cooler handle to hide your blush.
"To the truck!" You declare, heading for town. Kid chuckles at your retreat, taking one last look at the generator before following suit.
The truck was beautiful, a dusty silver look, and sturdy looking. And the fact Kid was the one who designed just made you want to kiss the guy. Kid takes your cooler and eases it into the back, before closing the tailgate. "Get in," He chuckles, seeing you just admiring the truck. You blink and get in, closing the door and bouncing slightly with a grin. He rumbles a laugh. "Calm down ___," He chuckles, nudging you.
"I can't! This is fucking awesome! And you made this!" You breath, rubbing the arm rests. "And its been so long since I rode in a vehicle," You add. He laughs as he starts the truck, watching your breath catch and your lips pull up in a smile. The truck rumbled smoothly.
"Buckle up," He tells you. You swiftly do so and the truck rolls out of town, starting for the city.
"Think we'll be okay with just the two of us?" You ask.
"We'll be fine."
