"What the hell is this?" Kid grumbles looking at the paper in annoyed frustration. "Makes no damn sense...." You look up from your math homework curiously.
"What are you stuck on?" You ask making him pause since he had forgotten you were there. He turns to you.
"Hey, since you're kinda like a girl, you understand poems right?" He asks holding up the paper. You blink and withhold a giggle.
"I do luckily for you, what are you stuck on exactly?" You ask.
"The message, is it about the ocean or something? And what does a rose have to do with it?" He asks.
"Oh. I actually know this one.." You read it over and nod. "It's about fading beauty. The person who wrote this is talking about how sometimes looking at something which beautiful can some times whilt or fade and never be beautiful again. They also wonder if they will do the same and fade." You try to explain. He blinks and reads it over.
"That makes way more sense." He mutters turning away to write the answer. "What a lousy poem." He adds. You blink.
"Why do you say that?"
"It sounds shallow. If you stood there admiring the look of it for so long, why couldn't you find what else made it beautiful? Roses still smell nice even if they dry up. And the ocean waves still sounds calming and beautiful." He huffs. You gap at his back. What he said was surprising and beautiful itself.
"What about people?" You inquire curiously. He stops with a hum.
"Well... Some people are beautiful, and spunky, and brave, athletic..." He trails off thinking about someone obviously. "What's not to find beautiful?"
"You were just thinking about a girl weren't you?" You press curiously, imagining the kind of woman that had caught his attention. Kid shifts and you see his ears redden with a blush.
"Sh-Shut up..." He mutters. You blink fully curious now.
"What's her name?" You ask.
"I don't know-- none of your business!" He scoffs.
"Have you ever spoken to her?" You press, enjoying this odd side to him.
"No... Stop asking questions." He grunts. You blink and tilt your head.
"Huh... You're a shy one." You comment. He pauses and blushes.
"I'm not... Girls just don't...." He trails off and shakes his head. "Dammit man stop distracting me!" He growls. You were in shock at that.
"You... You don't how to talk to girls?" You guess in surprise. He growls in embarrassment turning on you with a blush.
"Yes! And if you tell anyone I'll-"
"I can coach you." You offer. He pauses eyes narrowing.
"You can coach me?" He huffs doubtful.
"I can, I get girls." You smirk. "Just help me with this math sheet and we'll start." He shifts and growls taking the sheet and filling it out with ease. You smile. "Alright let's go."
"Okay first I have to see the problem, so you go talk to those girls over there." You nod to a group. He shifts uneasily but does so. You stop nearby to listen.
"Yo," Kid greets them gruffly. You blink watching his pink face as the girls shift nervously, saying hello before swiftly dispersing. Kid sighs rubbing his temple before looking to you.
"You're intimidating approaching like that." You tell him though you personally found it cute. He rubs his cheek.
"It's awkward just to go up to them..." He grumbles.
"I know, but it isn't hard," You murmur looking around. "Here, watch this." You breathe starting for a group of girls. "Excuse me, I just wanted to let you women know how beautiful you look today." You smile.
The girls blush and giggle. "Y-You look handsome yourself!" One manages shyly.
"Why thank you, but I'm too blessed by your presence, so I must be on my way." You wink before going back to Kid. He blinks in awe at you.
"I've never seen someone so smooth..." He mutters.
"I learned from the best, and let me tell you, classy works most of the time." You smirk. He blinks and shifts looking around and spotting a girl.
"Classy...." He mutters before going over to her. "Hello.... Pretty girl..." He says awkwardly. You blink and giggle quietly, had to admit his awkwardness was refreshing and cute. The girl looks up at him and pales at the slightly scary face he was making because he was uncomfortable and suddenly bolts. His shoulders droop and a frustrated sigh leaves him. You shift frowning at his back.
"See?" He huffs turning to you.
"Hmm... Keep trying I need to go somewhere real quick." You pat his shoulder before hurrying to the bathroom. You slip into a stall, swiftly changing out of your disguise and situating yourself coming out and peering at yourself.
A guy walks in and pauses as you look dead at him. "What?" You rumble in the most manly voice you could muster. He pales and swiftly goes back out. You soon go out and look for Kid.
'Why the hell am I doing this? What if he recognizes me!?' You scold yourself bumping into someone and starting to fall. You're caught by the back of the shirt, keeping you up from hitting the ground. You blink and look over your shoulder to see a surprised Kid. He blinks surprise growing as recognition flashes through his reddish eyes.
"You..." He starts still in shock.
"Heh... Yo..." You breathe nervously. He blinks, not sure what to do exactly. You smile a bit, "Thanks for catching me mister." You straighten up, touching his hand. He freezes and blushes.
"N-No problem.... Pretty girl..." He says awkwardly making a rather intimidating face. You blush and giggle lightly.
"Relax, you'll scare the weaklings." You chuckle touching his shoulder. He blushes more and swallows trying to relax.
"Weaklings Huh?" He mutters.
"Yeah, the ones that are easily intimidated by big strong... Muscular guys that approach them." You hum, restraining yourself from checking him out. He chuckles sheepishly at that.
"You sure are brave. Especially since you were gutsy enough to steal from me." He rumbles tipping your chin. You shiver, getting an unsettling feeling.
"Whelp! Nice seeing you again handsome." You chime kissing his cheek before dashing off.
Kid watches you go too shocked and rather shy to do anything. Seeing you again, and that smile made him forget about the money all together for a moment, and all he could think about was you. In no time you were out of sight.
He touches his cheek. "Heh... I'll get you next time..." He breathes. He smiles a bit and looks around for his roommate. "Where is that guy?"
He was sitting in a chair when you came back in your disguise. You blink and smirk a bit. "Don't tell me you gave up." You comment. He looks up and smirks.
"Nah. I don't really want a girl that runs because I'm intimidating." He shrugs getting up. "I want to talk to the ones that are brave enough to approach me..." He adds thoughtfully. You blink and blush slightly.
"Oh okay, did something happen while I was away?" You ask.
"I ran into an interesting woman." He hums with a small smile. You smile too.
"Then I guess you don't need any help." You comment turning away and freezing spotting Law. He spots you as well and stops, glancing at Kid. Kid follows your gaze and smirks.
"Well well, if it isn't Trafalgar." He rumbles, "Do you know him b/___?" He asks as Law approaches.
"He's... My sister's boyfriend," You answer making Law blink and blush.
"I don't recall we had such a relationship." He comments.
"Awe I thought you two had something there..." You frown briefly. He shifts and scratches his chin.
"Maybe I'll ask her out.... Saturday around seven." He says thoughtfully. You blush.
"Hold on, you have a sister?" Kid intervenes.
"Yes, she's uh... A trouble maker..." You say sheepishly. Kid smirks.
"How about I ask her out on Friday then?" He chuckles. Law frowns while you raise an eyebrow.
"Pardon?" You hum.
"He's being competitive," Law informs you. You frown at that.
"What's wrong Law? Are you threatened that I'll get in her pants first?" Kid sneers. Law's eyes narrow dangerously but before he can say anything.
"You arrogant prick!" You growl turning on Kid and making his eyes widen. "What the hell is wrong with you? Women are not things you can play with!" You scold. "And if that's how your mind works then it's a good thing they run away from you." You add before stalking off.
