Thrice
AN:Third crying fic... Why I did these, you might ask. I don't know. That's all. Love, Rose Hitogoroshi.
Thrice Rose had been this panicked. One was when she was child, when she found out her real parents were dead, and second was when she had found out that insted of bodies she thought she had packed, she had bags full of pineapples.
Fortunally before they had moved out from port, she had catched up with her bags and returned them to their rightful owner. Owner was so greateful of this that they gave free pass to crash in their home if she and her friend needed it. It was a good place to relax after stressful year. But now it was because one small object she had apperantly lost.
"Where the fuck are you?" She shouted in her rage to empty room, which fortunally to her didn't answer back like that one time.
Messy would be underestamet of year when somebody thought of describing her room. Fight arena or explosion site would be better.
Half of things that she owned were either broken to millions of pieces or throwed out from her open door.
Reason of this disaster was standing at middle of room, wood and metal littering around her. Her shaggy hair shooting to everywhere as she tried to tame it with her right hand, her left one holding her knife that she had used to tear apart her proprety.
She was frowning at walls around her, her usual smirk disappeared right after she found her object to be missing.
"Where is my rings?" She wondered to herself quietly, not wanting other persons in ship to hear her dilemma. Especially one of them needed to stay in dark until she found one of her rings again.
"Have you lost something?" Speak of devil and he shall appear, she grumbled in her mind as she heard his argont voice behind her back. "Nah, just got a feeling to break every single thing that I own for fun." She answered him sarcastly as she turned around to look at him. He was leizurelly leaning against her doorway, his metallic hand resting over another as he watched at her with amused eyes.
"And those things" He indicaited furniture behind him with backward nod. "are for?" "Fire that this damned ship will hold if I don't find my things soon." She continued his question as her answer which made him lift one of his non-existing eyebrows, his corner of lip lifting up to give him boyish smile that in different mind state, would have made her melt inside. As it was though, it only got her even more agitaited.
"And thing that you had lost this time is?" He ended with question that she really didn't want to reply now. "Not is, are very special to me, but I don't think asshole like you could understand how special they are." She said through her gritted teeth, turning her back to him so that she wouldn't see him.
He would just mockingly smile at her and say something stupid anyways. Insted of that, she didn't see his hurt face.
He thought that they could tell each other every little thing, secret or other. For goodness sake, they were engaged and had given rings to each other a year ago! What was so important that even her groom couldn't be told about it? Was those things so special that she had lost so important? Or was it something that she shamed to tell him?
Wild ideas spinned in his head, ranging from another man as her husband to fluffy dress that she would rather die than to be caught owning one. Imaginary him waved his hand around, getting rid of those ideas when he suddenly got a plan.
He would offer to help her and when she or him found them, he would know for sure what she was hiding from him! Briliant, even if he said so himself.
During his thoughts, Rose had sensed that he was still behind her, silent like rock
"Did you have a reason to talk with me or why are you still there, Kidd?" Her annoyed voice snapped him back to reality where his bride-to-be was impatiently tapping her foot to floor as she stared at him, expecting him to speak.
"Ah yes. I came here with a reason, but that could wait for awhile. Would you like me to help you out? It would be better that I tell my thing after you're not so focused in your search." She had grimazed during his talk, which had made him tell rest of sentance. He had heavily calculated that her curious side would be interested with his unspoken question, she had tendensy to this in certain times
He was right, her child side, one that she had surpressed when she was seven, would sometimes peak her small head and telled her to investigate this that she would normally let be. And it happened to like at his mysterious reason that needed her to focus solely at him. She turned around, rubbing her left temple as she sighed.
"Alright." She finally agreeded, which made man before her step inside her room with wide and cocky grin.
"So what are we looking for?" She glanced at him, weighting whatever or not she should tell him that she had lost her engagement ring. Sighing again, she faced wall ahed of him and said her small describtion of her ring.
"Just shout at me if you see something golden." He rolled his eyes, he quessed she didn't want to tell much of the item but to say only to look for golden things was little too plain for his taste.
"Well thanks. You just love to make things harder for everybody." He said sarcastly but only got wide, perverted smile back.
"No, I love to make men things harden." She dropped her head again, rest of her body lifted up and wiggling as she looked underneath her bed. 'Yep, now I remember why she would be wonderful fuck.' He thought as he watched her ass turn from one side to another, tempting him to grab it.
Hidden from his view, her face was back to its smirk. She loved when she was noticed, especially if it was because of her body. The feeling of one undressing you with their eyes made her feel even more excited than when she killed somebody, one of reasons why she only every now and then would murder somebody but would wear revalving outfits everyday.
It gave her confience boosts when she saw somebody give her oogle eyes. It was a form of foreplay to her actually, the only one that she would truthfully say love to do everytime before getting down to business. Suddenly she lifted her head up again and grineded at her groom.
"Didn't you say that you would help me find my things and not to oogle at my ass?" He blushed very, very lightly. So lightly that if you didn't know him, you wouldn't notice it. But she did, and boy did it make her feel good!
They worked for a hour, Kidd occacionally lifting something up and asking if this was what she kooked only to get negative answer everytime from black haired girl.
Suddenly, Rose slumped on her matress, seemingly losing all her body's energy
"It's no use. They are alredy lost or stolen by someone." She said, aknowledging her defeat of this matter. Kidd stopped when she said and turned to look at her.
"Rose?" He asked tenderly, but she didn't seem to hear him. Her hair was mostly obscuring him from her face, but tell tale sniffling was heard underneath black mess of hair.
"It was from mama and papa." She finally could sniffle out, her voice wavering as she told him this. "I-it was only thing I-I had from them. A-all the o-other things were burned by those b-bandits." She stutered as her mind went back to day when she was just six and saw her house burned to ground.
Kidd sat next to her, not knowing at first what to do with her, but settled in patting her back as reassuringly. Her sniffles turned to hiccup as she continued. "It was *sniffle* their own *sniffle* engagement ring. Mama always said *sniffle* that I *hiccup* could wear it after I got my *hiccup* own man, so I waited *hiccup* and waited for someone that I *sniffle* would call mine. When I saw *sniffle* your engagement ring *hiccup* that you gave to *sniffle* me, I went and *gasp* looked from her ring *sniffle*. But now it's gone with your ring!"
She finally letted it all out and cried on to her knees, avoiding his loathing gaze that surely already had judged her as a bad person that she was. But to her surprise, his arms envlopped her and brought her closer to his bare chest, where she stopped crying for awhile and looked up at him. He was silghtly bended over her, making small cup of his body so that she would fit into him.
He was smiling, gentle and understanding, as his eyes, those dark blue pools of space, were showing her things like joy, relief and guilty, all at the same time. "So you had lost my ring and your parents ring?" He asked from her, getting small nod as her reply. His smile got slightly bigger at this and he talked at same time as he rummaged his pockets.
"You shouldn't worry about them, they were at good hands." His hand lifted something golden from his pocket, carching Rose off-guard. At his hand was gold ring that looked like mix of two rings. One white diamond was at middle of ring, surrounded by millions of little red jewels that reflected light perfectly. Diamond area was larger than rest of band and from inner band she could read two first words of carving that her ring had. As she was amazed by this, she didn't notice that Kidd had went to one of his knees, ring in his human hand. "Your first ring wasn't that amazing and moment was ruined by, several problems."
She giggled at memory, a sea monster attack, a pirate attack and a marine attack had happened all just before he could ask his question, but the icying in the cake was when his little brother came and started to flirt with her.
He had stormed to land and bought simpliest ring he could find before stormed back to his ship, shouting his question at the top of his lungs because of his agitation. Everybody had stopped their work and stared at him with wide, disbelieving eyes. Then he was told that she had went to bar with his little brother. This had made him curse at high heavens and bulldoze back to town. He had literally ripped doors open from bar and like storm that threathened to electryfiy anybody in his way, he had walked to Rose and slammed ring on table, stating that this day forward, she was his. That said, he left the pub, grumbling about life's difficultness.
It was so hilarious, that every time she was reminded about it she would giggle or laugh, given situation. Kidd scowled at first, he too remebered that day but in loathing. Really, how hard could getting one ring and giving it to one human be? But when her giggles turned to laughter, he too smiled slightly.
After she had taken back her control, she looked curiously at him, begging for him to continue his talk. "So why don't we try this again?" He grinded at her before presented ring to her.
"Do you, Rose Donquixote, want to marry me?" She was unable to contain her excitment as she jumped to him, her lips kissing everywhere as she shouted between kisses.
"Yes *kiss*, yes *kiss*, of *kiss* cource *kiss* I *kiss* want!" She laid at end one big kiss on his lips, her mind in seventh heaven from joy.
He responded to her kiss, taking control of kiss and slipping his tongue inside her mouth. Her own wasn't unresponsive as it began wet battle with his, swirling and twirling between their mouths. After minute they sperated, breathing heavily as their forehead touched each other. He lifted her left hand, bringing it to their sight before slided golden band to her ring finger where it fitted perfectly. "It's beautiful, Kidd. Thank you." She whispered to him, smiling true smile at her fiance who grinded back at her.
"You're welcome, Mrs. Eustass." She laughed with him, thinking how suddenly it sounded right to her, like if she had born with that as her last name.
"Umm, Captain?" Voice from doorframe waked the two notoraious killers from their loving daze, their eyes hardening as they pinpointed voice to fearful teen at enterance of room. He sweated in his panic, stutering his thing out.
"Y-you we-were n-needed at d-deck." He gulped as his captain's eyes darkned by notch.
"I-it was em-emergency s-said ma-master K-Killer!" He squeaked out and tried to grow smaller under glaring eyes of leader. "Go." He didn't need to be told twice as when Kidd said last syllable, he was already half corridor away, leaving only dust cloud shaped like him behind. His glaring at empty air was interrupted by Rose's chortle, michievious glint in her eye.
"I hope you're not going to be that hard to our childrens." She said, making him smile evilly. "Only to the boys." She giggled and punched at his arm hard, but to him it felt like gentle slap. "And to our only daughter's boyfriends." He snorted, mean tone in his voice before left her there, laughing her ass off. "To what boyfriends?"
She quietened after while, huge smile straining her face muscles as she watched at door way that she had last seen him. She loved him so much, that sometimes she would just want to love him and become home wife, species she detested the most in world, just for him, but after while thinking would realize that she would never be able to do that.
First of all, it would require her to know how to cook, which was skill she lacked badly. Second of all, it would require her to worry over him everytime he walked out from her life and she wasn't quite sure she could survive that.
So pirate life it was to be, until both of them were too old to do nothing more than rot.
She felt her tears fall from her eyes, travelling over her cheeks, sliding over her skin before dropped down from end of her jaw, splashing on to her hands. Dropping her head, she observed her new ring where old and new was combined to become wonderful thing that would last until nothing was left.
It represented her love to him and his love to her. Under all those cold and harsh act, they were always both together like in a circle.
"Mama." She whispered to spirits that surely listened her and watched over her.
"I think I found my man." Tear dripped on white diamond, tear of happiness and relief. It could have been just her imagination, but she was compleatly sure she heard fleeting whisper behind her as ghost hand that she was only able to see sometimes leaved her shoulder as if it was sucked into another universe.
"I'm proud of you, Rose."
AN: My friend think this is cute, and I will agree to some point. But when I readed it second time, I felt puking all fluff out of me. God, if there is one, please help become cruel once again! Next chapter will be last and is called And that one time. This is Rose signing out!
