Benny sat on Metal Beard's shoulder, going on about his idea for a new space ship design. He'd been doing this for a few minutes as the pirate was busy polishing his body. He had just gotten back from trip that had gotten him a little scratched up. He nodded occasionally to Benny, but did not give any input. He was listening intently, but there wasn't much to say, really. That is, until Benny said something that really caught his attention.
"And since it's a pirate spaceship that means I can come with you when you go out adventuring so that we won't have to be without each other for so long all the time and-"
Metal Beards head snapped to look at Benny so quickly, it was a wonder his head didn't spin all the way around "How many times do I have t' be tellin' ye that ye can't be comin' wit' me! 'tis too dangerous."
Benny frowned, floating in front of Metal Beard's face "It can't be that dangerous! You always come back with hardly a scratch on you!"
"That's because I be a head in a giant mechanical body." he poked at Benny with a large finger. "You're strong, but are ye strong enough to wrestle with a giant squid?"
"No but-
"Thar be no butts 'bout it, Benjamin! I don't wanna see ye gettin' hurt!
Benny's frown deepened "Please please please please!" he pleaded, getting even closer to Metal Beard "I'll love you forever and ever and ever if you do~!"
The pirate squinted at Benny before speaking. "No amount 'o pleases be gonna make me change me mind, no siree!" he harrumphed, crossing his arms and looking away. Benny had gone silent, and when Metal Beard took a chance to take a peek at Benny, he really wished he hadn't. "Besides, ye all ready love me."
Benny was now staring at him, lower lip wobbling and eyes growing unnaturally huge.
"Them puppy dog eyes aren't gonna set the sails on a salty sailor like me so ye can just-" He did not know it was possible, but Benny's eye's seemed to have grown even larger. Metal Beard could only stare at Benny. "...I must be goin' soft..." he murmured before speaking louder. "Fine, ye can come wit' me! But ye gotta promise to be careful 'n stay outta trouble if it comes!"
Benny's puppy dog face was replaced with that of a large grin. "Oh thank you thank you thank you~" he singsonged as he floated around Metal Beards head as quick as he could. "I'll be so careful and I'll leave at the first sign of danger and we can hang out all day!" He stopped to float in front of Metal Beard before giving him a peck on the cheek. Metal Beard blushed at the peck, which was totally unbecoming of a pirate of his caliber. He tried to pass it off by straightening his non-existent collar. It didn't work. Benny was in a giggling fit within seconds. He really was going soft.
