Prologue: Sounds Of Thunder
Note: Scroll until very end for authors notes :)
When he presses his lips on yours and all you can feel is this tingling sensation that leaves fresh goosebumps on the surface of your skin. How the feel of his touch burns you and just the smell of his cologne intoxicates your lungs.
It's not really him but yet you can imagine it is. You can imagine those chaste lips are his. The hot body heat radiating from him along with the rough palms of his warm hands grasping your waist and the tantalizing cologne are all his. You, are all his.
In these moments you can dream, something nobody will ever take away from you.
To dream of what you've been waiting so long for and atleast here you can pretend, thinking to yourself, 'Finally, he's all mine'.
Instead Nami's thinking that, occasionally every other night perhaps when the ship slowly drifts about and all that's heard is their voices along the soft sounds of the sways of the deep ocean waves flowing oh so little. Whilst, everybody peacefully sleeps, but you, and its just the two of them atop the crows nest where Zoros built in gym is also conveniently at, making it almost a sacred place for him. Sacred for him and Nami. They're left there without interruption and never come back down until the morning. It's romantic isn't it?
You try not to notice these things, because really, this is what you want, knowing you'll never have it. In end you always manage to tell yourself 'it's okay' or that you're 'fine'. What a fucking lie.
You're so good at it to, lying to yourself and lying to everybody else. Still you can dream. You can always dream.
You'll take what you can get, even if it's slowly tearing you apart.
You grind your hips, the man grinds back, as the sounds of thunder boom in the late night sky.
A/N: Now, this story takes place somewhere after the Timeskip and its sort of a realistic type of AU but it's still within the same One Piece universe with all the events before and just right after the Fish-Man Island Saga wrapped up.
I just want to alter some stuff such as the century year which is the 20th so in the 1900's but its just that the year. You'll see some minor changes I'll make throughout the story, such as placing in pay phones and rotary dials instead of the tone dial/den den mushi and 1900's modern stuff aswell as introducing music bands and maybe some pop culture refrences for story purposes mostly. Theres also a meaning in this prologue tied in with the title so theorize what it might be and if your close or got it, I'll shout you out in Chapter 1, so go ahead and analyze this if you want and feel free to ask questions too! ;)
Anyway I really couldn't stand the idea I've had for this story any longer! I just needed to write it down, so yeah. I really hope you enjoy this story! P.S The title is definitely a refrence to Duran Duran's song 'Sound Of Thunder,' I just added an s at the end of sound but it definitely suits the story.
