Description
- What do you want to talk about? Asked Law.
You shuddered. You knew it was the right thing to do, but you couldn’t help but being worried about his reaction. What was he going to say? Will he throw you out of the ship? You had finally found a place you could call home, you didn’t want to leave.
Law noticed your hesitation.
- Is it… about what happened on the island? He asked carefully.
You inhaled and nodded.
- Yes…
- I would understand if you are mad at me or something. I’m not quite sure myself why I did this, I shouldn’t have. I’m sorry if I scared you or…
- No, that’s not the problem.
Did Law heard right? Did you just say that it wasn’t a problem?
- I…
You hesitated once again. Only a blind man wouldn’t notice the intense blush on your face. And Law wasn’t blind. He felt his heart beat rose up in both excitement and anticipation. You gulped, feeling the eyes of your captain staring at you with insistence.
- I do not mind at all what happened on the island, you finally said with a shy and low voice.
A very well known smirk appeared on his face. If it only depended on him, Law would jump on you right now and kiss you fiercely. But he wanted to listen to you until the end. He could feel that you had something very important to say, so important that you were mentally struggling whether you should tell him or not.
- Then what is the problem? He asked.
You remained silent a few seconds. He approached you slowly and gently took your hand in his. You shivered under his touch.
- You know you can trust me, Law whispered, what is this thing that troubles you so much? Is it me?
- No! You exclaimed, no… no it’s not you. It’s… me.
- I see nothing that could be wrong with you.
- Captain… you don’t know what I am.
- Then tell me, what is wrong with you? If you feel insecure about it, it’s perfectly normal.
- What? Wait… no! Law would you mind to just shut up and let me talk!
He did just as you say, an amused smirk on his face.
You looked at him in the eyes.
- I am cursed, you said.
He tilted his head.
- Cursed?
- Yes, since I’m a child.
- What is this curse of yours?
Law was curious. It sounded crazy, but there was so many strange things that he had seen that he was ready to believe anything. Especially when it came to you.
Your eyes were watering. You gulped.
- I… I don’t know where it comes from but I always had it. It’s because of my heart.
- What’s wrong with your heart?
- My heart… is dark. And, when I lost control over my emotions or when I am threaten, I become something else. I am no longer the same. And… I am so scared of it. I’m scared because… I don’t want to hurt the people I cared for. When I loose control, I have this huge bloodlust… it is so huge that I can barely control myself. I killed many people because of it… and I almost killed people that I was close to. Do you understand Law? I’m dangerous. I cannot live with anyone because of it! I am not a good person!
- Stop it.
Your eyes widen and your mouth open. What…
Before you could say something, he bent down and kissed you fiercely. This time, you didn’t reject it. Far from it. You grabbed his neck and pulled him closer. You were feeling so good right now that you didn’t want to run away from him. His hands roamed across your back and eventually found their way under your hoodie. You moaned lightly because of the touch before moving away a little.
- What are you doing? You asked.
- I’m not afraid of you; he growled against your skin, I don’t want to be away from you.
You blushed madly at this statement. He started to kiss your jaw and your neck. You shivered and felt an unknown feeling increasing in your chest. You grabbed his hair and let a pleased moan leave your mouth. He laid you down the ground and crawled over you. You saw him smirk and his silver eyes looked right into yours.
- You don’t have to be afraid; he said with a gentle voice while he wiped a tear from your eyes, I know you’re a good person. And I’ll always be here to protect and love you. And I can prove it to you right now.
