“ wanna be a pirate with me?” ( closed)

Jonathan nodded,”Definitely.”

Usually he didn’t get this tense when Bull was riled up like he currently was, but when that anger was aimed at crewmates, it bothered Jonathan. Bull’s anger was certainly violent, and he remembered a few incidents shortly after Bull was hired on where Boris had to tackle him to keep him from outright attacking one of the others.

Bull had calmed considerably over the years, but that violence was still there. Jonathan was just grateful that Bull only rarely got pissed off at him, and never to that violent degree.

Pushing those thoughts and memories aside, Jonathan grabbed Kera’s hand. He needed something physical to ground himself on, otherwise he’d end up having another bout of anxiety like earlier.

Jonathan wrapped around Kera, nuzzling into her neck like before. He took a deep breath.

“It bothers me when Bull gets like this, particularly towards crewmates, which is pretty much just another name for family. He’s not as bad as he used to be, but still,”Jonathan explained.

He took another deep breath.

“Anyways, c… can we leave now?”

“That sounds really nice right now,”Jonathan replied.

He walked with Kera, still holding her hand. When they left the tent, he immediately started to relax, though he was still tense when they got back to the ship.

Jonathan chuckled at Kera’s actions, then undressed to his shirt and boxers. He laid down with Kera, snuggling close to her.

Jonathan smiled back, finally beginning to completely relax.

“Love ya too.”

Jonathan chuckled, wrapping his arms around her. He held her close, the proximity soothing to him.

Jonathan smiled warmly at her.

“Yeah. Thank ya for not fighting him,”he answered, his voice just as soft as hers.

Jonathan gave her a tender kiss, then stared into her eyes. They still mesmerized him like they had as a kid.

Jonathan chuckled.

“So beautiful,”he replied.

His breath hitched at the nip and he snickered.

Jonathan chuckled at her smile, then snuggled up closer to her. He sighed contentedly.

Jonathan snickered.

“Are ya now?”he asked teasingly.

His hand shifted upward, drawing light circles between her shoulder blades.

“What are ya in the mood for?”he asked, a genuine question, though the tease still remained in his voice.

Jonathan shrugged, then chuckled.

“I think ya can probably figure out what I’m thinking. Ya and your fucking addicting lips influenced that. But, I’m open to whatever,”he replied with an amused smile.

Jonathan laughed,”Who’s keeping count?”

He kissed her back just as passionately.

Jonathan chuckled, looking down at Kera warmly.

“Damn, ya really are temptress,”he breathed.

He shifted to kiss her neck, his hands moving to caress her legs, starting at her calves and working their way up to her thighs.
