Strange Feelings
It was a nice night on the Thousand Sunny. I was laying on the deck looking up at the stars. I took one last puff of my cigarette and put it out on the paper plate. There were at least ten or fifteen of them smashed together, it was a mountain of ashes and cigarette butts.
"Hey! What are doing out here?" asked a voice. I tilted my head back to find that I was staring at dark green boots. I recognized those boots anywhere, so I sat up.
"Why do you wanna know?" I asked him. I heard him come closer to me until he was standing right next to me.
"Because its my shift tonight and usually everyone would be sleeping by now." I stared out at the ocean. It seemed to stretch on forever.
"I couldn't sleep." It was really beautiful the way the stars were reflected off of the sea. It was something that I was always mesmerized by. Ever since I met that good for nothing swordsmen, sometimes I would notice the way he stared at me. We would get in fights over the littlest things but in battles against the enemy, we would fight gracefully together.
His mere presence would irritate me but I got use it. We got in less fights and sometimes we would go days or weeks without saying a word to each other. All that was happening recently and the crew noticed that. They were worried about us but there was nothing going on between us. Not as friends, not as anything. I don't know what sort of feelings are boiling inside of me any more. Even thought we sometimes went days or weeks without saying word. I...I miss it all.
"I can't stand it any more! Sanji is something wrong? We don't seem to be talking, we don't get in fights any more. Theres...just nothing." He crouched in front of me and stare into my eyes. I saw the worry in them. I don't seem to be mad at him. So I looked away.
"I don't know. These feelings inside me are confusing and difficult to understand." I felt his hand on mine. I didn't want to pull away or anything. I felt my face heat up. I suddenly realized what sort of feeling are coming out.
"Its okay. Your feelings are just changing. I'm not gonna reject you." I didn't want to meet his eyes to see if he really will take my feelings for him.
"Will you really take them? Your not disgusted or anything?" Some where inside of me still couldn't believe this is all happening but the other side is okay with and wants it.
"Yes I will because my feelings have changed as well and I'm not disgusted at all." His tone was kind and loving. I didn't need to look into his eyes to see what he was saying was true because I had a feeling that it was. I wrapped my arms around him and buried my blush stained face in his chest. I felt his arms around me, he buried his head in the crook of my neck. I was really happy. I think I'll like the rest of the days I spent on this ship even more.
"I can't say it now but one day I'll be able to say it." He made a more space between us so he was able to see into my eyes. He held my face with his hand, I nuzzled into it. He leaned in so close that I felt his hot breath on my lips. I stared at his lips. Then he claimed my mouth with his own. He licked my lower lip and I gladly let him enter. Our tongues dance together in harmony. Once he let go I was breathless. He wrapped his arms around me once again. He held me for a long time, then I started getting tired and sleepy.
"Hey. Don't fall asleep." It was too late, sleep claimed me. I was so happy and relieved that I got tired and fell asleep in his arms. He was very comfortable for someone who works out as much as he did.
A/N: I hope you enjoyed it.
