Pov Pudding
Since I was a child I realized the way everyone looked at me, it was impossible to ignore those looks of disgust. Everyone was open in expressing their disgust, my third eye. There were moments where loneliness consumed me, it was in those moments were some magical stairs appeared under my bed that led to a beautiful meadow where a young man dressed in white and a distinguishable blonde hair like the sun awaited me. But what stood out the most was his face, for some reason i saw it blurred. The day I met him we talked under the moonlight about all kinds of things. I told him about my love for pastries and chocolate, I was surprised when he told me that he also liked baking but that was because his passion was cooking. We spent the time sharing recipes, laughing and smiling. There was someone who enjoyed my company... I was happy to know that. But deep down I knew it couldn't be real, it was impossible for anyone to like my company, and if all this was real... surely he looked at me with disgust only that I could not see his face so I could not assure that.. but who wouldn't? in the end that was all I was, an ugly monster. But I liked to think that it was not the case, that maybe even in my dreams my presence could be appreciated. Because that was what this is, an illusion, a dream of an ugly solitary monster.
Over the years, since I became mom's "favorite daughter" I created this other personality, the sweet and good girl who could not hurt even a fly. My acting skills gave me a role in the "family". But even so the feeling of loneliness used to come, it was then that I could go to that beautiful meadow and find the young man with whom I could be myself. At least I had that little escape. I had in the past, because one day he did not appear again. It was as if that illusion or dream, whatever it was yous disappeared completely, even the possibility of having someone who appreciated my presence. But then a man named Sanji appeared. He would be my new fiancé to deceive, from first glance it was obvious that it would not be difficult.Sanji loved and idolized women, what at annoying and disgusting perverted I thought the first time I saw him. But then I realized something, his words... they felt so real, but ¿what it mattered if his "words" were"real"?,in the end just like everyone else once he nows who I really was he will look at me the same.
But Sanji wasn't just anyone.
"What a beautiful eye."
Those words were more than enough to make me fall to my knees. He thought that my eye was beautiful, no one had ever told me that... not even I find it beautiful.But still after how I was with him, he still treats me with such kindness. ¿Why can he just hate her?, that would make things easier for her.Right now all I want is to be able to see him one last time to apologize for everything. Something that I could not formulate in that brief moment, in the moment in which I flee. This time I wanted to face him head-on and see him in the face not only to ask for a favor and thank him for his kindness, but to ask for his forgiveness. But, that desire of her is nothing more than a simple childish fantasy.
"At least they could have brought me a decent prince"
Behind those words was some truth. Sanji was more than a decent prince, he was a magical one... as in fairy tales.
Heartbroken by regret i isolated myself in my room...but something happened. The stairs reappeared. Ihesitate for a moment, but something very inside me couldn't help but use them. That place was just as I remembered it, just as magical. This was the place where I met that young man, who you could easily mistake for a prince. Speaking of that young man, there he was in front of me and for the first time I could see his face.
¡¿I Couldn't believe it?!
The person in front of me was... Sanji.
That is why that young man could pass for a prince, Sanji was a prince in every word, a kind, gentlemanly, loyal and a honest man. He always was and is her prince, the first person to be kind, gentlemanly, loyal, and honest with her.
That night she discovered the truth behind these encounters. When she was little she had contact with a fruit user, who had the ability to allow encounters between people, in her case every time she felt alone her soulmate appeared, well a fragment of him, to let her know that one day she would be seen as more than a ugly monster. He didnt appear again the day she closed her feelings, the day she refused the love of others. When she met Sanji all her walls were destroyed.
She also understood that this would be her last meeting with Sanji. When soulmates meet physically, encounters stop happening. That night Pudding asked for Sanji's forgiveness and herself's.
The end.
