"Shut up." He blushes and shakes his head, gently removing your hands from him.
He gets up and goes to the steering wheel of the ship. You stay seated by where he served breakfast and watch what he's doing.
He's walking towards the steering wheel and then glancing at his map a little. He must be checking if your on course. You sigh and wander around the ship. You go back to the bench you were sitting on last night.
His book he was reading last night is still there. It's labeled "Rulers Reach, enter the bad boy." You scoff and open it to look at what it's about. "Violence! Bloodshed!" 
"...Geez Hunter." You scoff to yourself going through the pages.
You sit down on the bench and start reading the first chapter. 





This goes on for a bit. Hunter sailing the ship and you reading his book. After about 30 to 40 minutes he comes back over to you and stops dead in his tracks when he sees what you're doing.
"H-HEY!!" He stutters seeing what you're doing.
You flip the page of the book and look up at him.
"What?" You smirk.
"Don't read that!" He says snatching it from you.
"Why? I'm on chapter 4." You say.
He blushes and holds the book away from you. He clenches his fists.
"You wouldn't like it!" He says.
"Then why am I reading it? Come on let me continue!" You say.
"Well- uh- it's very dark." He stutters.
"Mmhm." You nod slowly.
"It seems kinda emo to me." You smirk.
"It's not "emo" it's good." Hunter scoffs and tosses the book back into your hands sitting down next to you.
"What's good?" You ask and open the book up to where you left off.
"It's dark but it's badass, the main character guy does all these sick things." He says pointing at the book.
"Like what?" You ask.
"Like kill people." Hunter says.
"And that's cool?" You smirk.
"You'll understand if you read it." He folds his arms.
You smile and hand the book to him. He takes it.
"Well I read up to chapter 4, maybe we could read some more later." You say.
"Really?" He asks.
"Yeah!" You smile.
"Hey, I've been meaning to ask you, how have you and your palisman been bonding?" You ask.
"Flapjack? He's... he's good, we're good." Hunter says pulling flapjack out.
"So you actually like him?" You ask and pet Flapjack.
Hunter awkwardly nods, sort of embarassed.
"Aw, and you were all like 'ohhh noo palisman bad! Filled with wild magic ooooo~'" You tease.
Hunter rolls his eyes and folds his arms.
"Let's not talk about that." He grumbles.
You giggle and you continue to pet Flapjack. Flapjack tweets and coos nuzzling up to you. Hunter smiles a little watching flapjack nuzzle close to you.
"Can I... actually say something?" He says.
You look up at him continuing to let Flapjack. Hunter holds both his hands and fiddles with his fingers, his cheeks are flushed.
