DISCLAIMER: I DO NOT OWN BLACK LAGOON

Hi guys so this is my second attempt for a Black Lagoon fanfic. Hope this is better. Please review.

How do you love someone?

Revy knew it was up to her. It always was. Even as she looked right in his eyes, she couldn't deny the truth. Their future was up to her, a choice she must make. There was no mistaking it, she can't be the good girl and do the right thing. She was always like that.

"Yes, I like you Rock, but love?" the verbally unanswered answer was stuck in her mind. She was too afraid for the sacrifice, she already lost too much.

There's this thing called pride and her heart is only left with that. She cares about the people in her world, she likes the people who is part of her company.

Rock is somehow in her life with a status of boyfriend, lover or whatever the fucking rich bastards call it.

Yesterday Rock confessed his love to her. She was perplexed, she didn't know what to say, her whole past were flying in her mind in that single moment. She couldn't say it back. Only doubt filled her. As she looked in his eyes for the answer, all she saw was hope and a tinge of doubt.

That doubt made her only hug him tightly, scratched his head and made a big joke out of it. Dutch and Benny looked concerned to them but said nothing. She knew back then what she might have said, could have taken a turn for the worst.

"Deep in thought Revy?" Dutch said as he walked to her, while she was sitting outside on the ship watching the sunset.
"Maybe Dutch," she grinned at him, the peace-maker.

She wouldn't want to fight against him, he rarely put his baby to work, but if he does- hell would be on the loose.

"Love is hard to come by nowadays," Dutch said coolly.

"Love? Don't make me laugh!" Revy smirked.

"Commitment is one thing, but love is past our understanding, especially for people like us, but do you know what Revy? Love could only make us stronger," Dutch said and then started to walk away.

"Hey Dutch, how do you love?" Revy asked before Dutch went back inside.

"Dunno, maybe you should ask Rock," Dutch answered and went inside.

"Love, huh?" Revy said and sighed.

Maybe she will ask Rock.
