Chapter 12: Night Time Pleasures (Not what you think perverts)
Song reference Seal Lullaby Eric Whitacre soprano 2
Amaya POV
"Oooh oooooh oooh oooooooh oooh oooooh ooooh"(I don't know how to write that part correctly bite me bitches)
"Oh hush thee, my baby"
Luffy had been having bad nightmares recently.
"The night is behind us"
So he would come to me for a lullaby like when we were kids.
"And black, waters sparkled green"
It was nice to know that he still needed me, that there was still something I could do for him.
"The moon o'er the combers"
So I sat with his head in my lab crooning softly as I threaded my fingers through his hair, it was my favorite part of being his big sister if only by oath.
"Looks down-ward to find us."
Before that night we had been lucky, no one had ever seen us he would have been mortified.
"At rest in the hollows that rustle between."
I should have guessed though, that HE would be the one to recognize those familiar cries that echoed through the sleeping ship.
"Where billow meets billow, there soft be thy pillow"
I smiled hearing the red haired man's deep voice joining my own, if the circumstances had been different perhaps I would have pursed the man who was my childhood crush.
"Weary flipperling, curl at thy ease."
But things weren't different, our ages were too separated, along with our purposes. That didn't keep me from pulling away when we intertwined our hands and he sat behind me and leaned up against me making me remember the many cold nights with unfamiliar hands and large bodies.
"The storm, shall not wake thee"
A rivulet of tears traveled down my face as familiar memories bombarded me like waves against a rock.
"Nor shark over take thee."
Greedy eyes in the dark, gleaming, circling,
"Asleep in the arms of the slow swinging sea."
I had stopped singing, lulled by a voice I was forcing myself to trust, because Luffy trusted him. That was enough for me.
"Oooh oooooooh oooh oooooh ooh"( I don't remember this part either screw it!)
Before I could drift off he stood making me snap out of my lethargic state.
"Take care of him."
I nodded and my vision vanished with the light from the closing door.
