“Try it now”
You turned the handle of the faucet waiting for the flow of water to run through, but nothing did.
“It’s still not working,” you said.
Kid muttered a curse beside you. The captain was currently down on his hands and knees, head buried under the sink trying, unsuccessfully, to fix the lack of running water in the kitchen.
“Are you sure you know what you’re doing?” You peered down at his back and stifled a grin at the thunk of Kid knocking his head against the cabinet as he crawled out to glare at you.
“Of course I do,” he snapped back. Truth be told, plumbing wasn’t Kid’s specialty but he had a basic enough understanding, and really, how hard could it be compared to the machinery he’s made before?
“I just need another minute,” he said as he crawled back under the sink.
You gave a skeptical hum, “Alright, but if we can’t get this working Killer’s gonna be mad, you know how particular he is about his kitchen.”
“Killer,” Kid grunted as he gave a sharp turn of the wrench to one of the pipes, “will have to deal with it until I figure this out.”
You rolled your eyes when Kid suddenly gave you a sharp kick with his boot.
“Hey! What was that for?!”
“I can practically hear you roll your eyes,” Kid’s voice came from beneath the cabinet, and you had to marvel how he could read you even without seeing you. Crossing your arms you huffed as sounds of clinking and metal echoed from below. After several minutes Kid withdrew himself, hand on the counter as he pulled himself up to sit on his knees.
“Alright try it now.”
You gave a him skeptical look before reaching forward and turning the handle again. To your surprise water began flowing freely and you gasped in excitement.
“See?” Kid planted a hand on his hip, chest puffing, “I told you I had it handled.”
You grinned in response, eyes still on the running water as your hand trailed down to brush through Kid’s hair, “Good boy.”
Kid chokes on his response, a sudden heat crawling across his face at the words and suddenly he’s very aware of his position on his knees looking up at you. You don’t react, rather you didn’t even seem to realize what you’d just said, until Kid’s uncharacteristic silence caught your attention and you looked down at him. Kid was flushed, staring up at you with mixed emotions playing out across his face seemingly frozen in the spot and in that moment, you realized what crossed your lips.
“I mean good job!” you yanked your hand back from his head as if it’d been burned, fighting a flush across your own face while Kid hastily stumbled up muttering a curse as he trips over his own feet.
“I-I said good job!” you reiterated as Kid finally rights himself. His eyes darted around the kitchen, seeming to settle anywhere but you and his face is still beet red but he gives an awkward cough and a nod before agreeing.
“Right, well-just tell Killer his damn sink is fixed,” and with that he turned and marched out of the room awkwardly. Kid practically flees to the safety of his own quarters and when he shuts the door all he can hear is the way you called him a good boy and how annoyed he is when he realized he was getting hard off it. But perhaps what annoyed him even more was how much he wanted to hear you call him that again.

A Moment at Awa’atlu in a Pleasant Future Between Sully SiblingsTM Lo'ak, Spider, and Kiri:
Kiri, kindly: Lo’ak, Tsireya obviously likes you.
Spider: Bro, she asked you on a date.
Lo’ak: But what if she meant it as a friend thing?
Kiri, throwing her hands up: I can’t do this anymore.
Spider, determined: Bro, we have been over this. A thousand times. No one makes friends by asking them to go on a moonlight swim one on one. That would be an insane way to make friends.
Lo’ak: …But what if—
Spider: Holy fuck, just tell her you’ll go!
Lo’ak: BUT I can’t say yes just because I want a mate! She probably doesn’t even like me!
Kiri, done: You are so right, she actually hates you. She told me herself.
Spider: Kiri, shut the fuck up. No one said anything about being her mate yet—
Lo’ak: I did, she’s the love of my life. Be for real.
Spider, murderous: Then. Tell. Her. You’ll. Go.
Lo’ak: Fuck. No.
Spider: Alright, I'm done with this kid, Kiri, kill him.

Hi, I was just curious is Ask doctor Gil going to be updated at any point? If not that's fine! I just didn't know if you were doing anything there anymore.
Hey there!! Thanks for sending the ask in!
Unfortunately I don't think I'm going to be updating the blog anytime soon since schoolwork is such a beast :') But I do miss answering asks there though, so we'll see about getting back into the swing of things when I get a proper summer break next year!
There'll probably be another blog revamp then, with updated headcanons and some new characters!
