"I’ve lost s' many people. I can’t lose y', too." WISTERIA AND SANJI--

He didn’t try to refute her, and he didn’t make her empty promises. Instead, he crouched before the werewolf and placed his hands on either side of her face, one thumb rubbing against the apple of her cheek. “Wisteria.  .  .”

It was a risk, taking this gigantic step forward, but he hoped that it would be worth it. Instead of pulling her forward, he pushed himself closer, lips quickly and chastely catching hers. He didn’t dare linger longer than necessary. In fact, it happened so quickly that it might be more apt to consider it a peck than a full-on kiss.

“Listen to me. I can’t promise you that I’ll be here for as long as you need me to be, but I will try. I will do everything in my power to stay here with you.” A smile fluttered to his lips, but it was the slightest bit bashful. “You’ve seen the way I might. Every time we get into a battle, I fight as hard as I do for my crew and for you because I want to see you again when the dust settles. I know it’ll be hard not to worry, but I’m here right now.”
