(Y/N) pov

I'm sitting on Kids large, and surprisingly soft bed, alone. He went to get some of my things from my room for me.

I run my hand over the silk sheets and lay down just having finished eating my dinner.

I lay there staring out the window looking at the the stars in the night sky.

"It's such beautiful sight"

"Yes it is" Kid says looking at me and pulling me from my thoughts. I blush and try to get up, but he shanks his head and puts his hand up telling me not to get out of the bed.

"Kid I was asleep for two days, please I need a bath"

"Ok but let me help you"

I look at him with trepidation.

"I'll run your bath and sit you on the side of the tub then leave. You can do the rest I won't look I promise. Unless you want me too". He says with a sly smirk.

"I think I can manage changing my cloths and bathing myself thank you"

Kid walks into the bathroom and starts the water. I dig through the things he brought me and settle on my (f/c) tank top and shorts for sleepwear.

Kid comes back a few minutes later picking me up bridle style and carries me to the tub sitting me on the edge. He grabs the clothes I chose and puts them on the counter with a clean towel.

"Let me know when your done and I'll come back and get you. As your captain I feel completely responsible for everything that's happened to you" he frowns.

"I will and thank you again Kid, but you should know I don't blame you for any of this."

God how he loves the way you say his name. If you wern't injured he would take you right now, but he must have patients or risk losing you all together.

I slip into the tub and let out a moan at how good the warm water felt on my aching body. The smell of vanilla feeling my senses.

A lot of people only see Kid as a vicious murderer. But he has a soft side that he only shows to me. I don't know why, but it makes my heart beat faster just thinking about him.

After about 20 minutes in the tub I pull myself up and onto the side and wrap the towel around me.

I grab my clothes and get dressed. While I'm drying my hair I call out to Kid.

He asks for entrance before opening the door.

"Come in"

"Are you ready for bed" he asks with a slight pink dusting his cheeks.

"Almost, could you grab my hair and toot brushes from my bag please.

"Sure"

Kid brings me my things. "Could you help he stand so I can look in the mirror"

Kid nods

He helps me stand and holds me firmly by the waist helping to prevent me from falling while I brush my hair and teeth.

I then stand there starring in the mirror at all the wounds that I have received.

A single tear escapes my eye, and Kid bends down kissing it away. He turns me around and looks me in my (e/c) eyes.

"You will always be beautiful no matter how many scars you get".

"I........ I love you (y/n)"

The look in his eyes let's me know he's not lying.

"You don't have to say anything, I just wanted to tell you how I felt"

He pecks my lips and gently lifts me up by my thighs. My legs wrap around him instinctively and my arms slip around his neck. I then peck his lips in response, and lay my head on his shoulder.

He lays me in bed and covers my body with the smooth silky sheet. He then kick off his boots and pulls his shirt over his head reveling his well toned chest, and abs, then walks back into the bathroom turning the shower on.

"I'm gonna take a quick shower. You don't have to wait for me, go to sleep if you want to"

I just shake my head as a yawn escapes my lips. I see a smile grace his lips before dissapering into the bathroom.

Who the hell could go to sleep after a confession like that?

I just lay in the bed and turn on my side closing my eyes trying to relax. I hear the door open about 10 minutes later as Kid walks back into the room.

I hear some shuffling before I fill the bed shift as Kid climbs in next to me. My heart starts to beat so fast I think it's going to jump out of my chest.

I lay there for a few more minutes waiting to see if he's gonna touch me, before I hear soft snoring coming from the other side of the bed. After I realized Kid was already asleep I turn over studying his now unpainted face that I have never seen before.

He so sexy in this state too.

 I lay there watching him sleep and soon drift off as well.

--------------------

It's been a week since I woke and have been staying with Kid in his room.

Almost all the bruises are now gone and the small cut on my neck is fully healed. I will get the stitches taken out of my shoulder wound today, although it will leave a nasty 4 inch scar to always remind myself of how weak I actually am.

The whole crew was happy that I was okay, and Killer agreed to train with me after I completely healed.

Every night I've been laying in Kids bed sleeping next to him and not once has he tried to touch me in any way that I didnt want him to. Of course every morning though I woke laying on his chest with his strong arms wrapped around my waist in a  protective manner.

The only thing that has happened is a few kisses here and there when were alone. We're not officially together and the crew has no idea of Kids confession, except of course he told Killer.

Killer would catch me staring at Kid from time to time.

When he did he would just say, "Why don't you just tell him how you feel? I can tell you love him too."

Today was no different when he brought me my lunch, and asked again, as he saw the look in my (e/c) eyes, and the smile on my face everytime i would unknowingly run my finger through the fur of Kids coat that layed on the bed next to me.

He didn't wait for a response before picking up the now empty tray that he brought for me with my lunch on it and walked out of the room, knowing he probably wouldn't get one anyway.

After he left I layed down and cuddle up with Kids coat taking in his scent. A pout came to my face as I thought about how much I missed him during the day while he had to do his captain duties. Then it hit me.......

I don't know how, why or when it happened but I think I've fallen in love with Eustass Kid.

------------------

I woke up when the sunlight hit my face, wrapped up in Kids embrace and legs tangled together. I just lay there starring at his handsome features, listening to his slow breathing. Watching as his chest rose and fell. I lift my hand up to brush some hair out of his face, before I place a gentle kiss on his unpainted lips.

It's been a month now and I'm fully healed. I still haven't told Kid my feelings. It seems im still trying to deny them, but he makes it harder everyday.

I don't want to get up yet, knowing were docked at a winter island and its freezing outside. I can see the snow falling gently through the window, so I just lay there and enjoy his warmth for as long as I can.

I feel him shift and tighten his hold on me, when his orange eyes began to flutter open.

"Good morning beautiful" his gruff  morning voice said.

"Good morning Sexy" I playfully say back.

"Did you sleep well?"

I nod in response "Yes. I always do when I'm with you".

In response to that he opens and closes his mouth few times as if he wants to say something.

"(Y/n) This past month having you here in my bed with me has been the happiest month of my life. I know you dont love me, but will you please move in and stay with me?"

A smile graced my lips, because I already knew my answer before he even finished his sentence but what came out of my mouth shocked us both.

"I love you Kid, yes."
