You smile happily cuddling up to him and purring loudly. Kid blushes not sure what to do in this bizarre situation. "Kid you're very hot!" You comment rolling on him.

"W-what?" He manages.

"Your skin is hot! I go get you still water." You chime rolling off him and the bed.

"It's called ice." He tells you.

"Ice!" You echo and head out. You go to the galley seeing Killer and bouncing to him, nipping at his arm playfully.

"Hey ___, how's Kid?" He asks.

"He's hot I need to get him lice." You smile cheerfully.

"Ice." He corrects going to the fridge and getting a bag of ice for you.

"Can we take a bath today? I want to play in the bubbles." You tell him cheerfully.

"Alright then, come get me when you're ready." He chuckles patting your head as you take the ice.

"Okay then!" You chime heading back to Kid's room. You go in and put the bag on Kid's face, making him stiffen. He moves it to his forehead and meets your gaze when you give him a big smile. "That is helpful?" You ask.

"Yeah." He breathes relaxing a bit.

"You should take bath with me and Killer, it will help you too!" You grin at him. He blushes wildly and looks away.

"N-No I'm good..." He stammers. You frown a bit.

"Why not...?" You grumble resting your cheek on his chest.

"I... I can't handle it yet... Sorry." He frowns and brushes his fingers through your hair. "I wish I could, maybe next time."

"Really?" You pick up your head and he gives you a smile.

"Yeah, so you go ahead," He rumbles. You smile and lick his cheek before getting up. "Why do you do that?" He mutters touching the spot.

"Because I like you very much!" You grin and go out cheerfully. His blush deepens and he chuckles to himself.

"Why do you have this affect on me..."

Killer chuckles as you send up more bubbles trying to snap at them, "Silly girl."

"Hey Killer, is like and love the same thing?" You ask him randomly. He pauses caught off guard.

"Well... Love is a stronger feeling than like. It's... Its hard to explain... I guess it's that warm happy feeling that you get in your chest, just the thought can make you smile and cheer you up, and you can't imagine living without it... I think that's what love is." He tilts his head washing your hair. You smile in awe at that.

"Do you love something?" You ask curiously.

"I might." He hums thoughtfully. You blink at him and smile more.

"I might too!" You chime. He raises an eyebrow and chuckles lightly.

"I'm sure you do," He says washing up himself. You help him wash his hair, surprising him.

"I'm doing right yes?" You ask as he smiles and closes his eyes.

"Yes you are.... I'm going to start teaching you how to read tomorrow." He decides.

"Read?" You echo dumping water over his hair.

"That's what I said." He chuckles poking your nose, "It should help increase your vocabulary too."
