chapter ten: can i be your husband?

—from DISCRETION series

Summary: you incidentally met a notorious CEO and your gut told you that you must claim this man. and even the fact that he’s engaged to someone else didn’t stop you from achieving what you want.

Pairings: CEO! Mark x Designer! Reader

Warnings: none

Words: 821

You take a sip from the cup, your eyes boringly looking around. Even Paris in the late afternoon can’t lighten you up from what you’re feeling right now. Boredom, sadness, rage, should be anything but delight. And you blame it on Mark Lee!

He promised to go to France with you two weeks ago, but somehow there’s a problem with his work and now you’re sitting at a random cafe, with a croissant and a cup of tea in the center of Paris.

Mark mumbled, hesitated to mention about this topic. You put the scissors down, your neck snapped back to give him a glance.

“Yeah?”

“I- I mean uh...he’s a soldier?”, he stuttered.

You pinned the piece of fabric onto the mannequin before stepping through the mess you made on the floor.

“I don’t know but I think so,” you sat down next to Mark on the couch, “I only know he was doing something on the battle field.”

You notice his fingers fumbled together, “Why would you ask?”, you took one of his hand into yours.

He looked at you, you could tell there’s sadness glinting in his eyes, “You just seem to uh you know...you love him a lot”. His gaze focused on the floor, “You should’ve not used that gun.”

Your thumb brushed his hand lightly as you chuckle, “I loved him but I love you now Mark.”, your other hand cupped his cheek to make him face you, “I used the gun, the first bullet is shot, I’ve already let him go alright?”

Mark smiled as you pulled him down to give him a peck on his lips. “I’m sure he’s watching me on heaven.”, you smile against his lips. “You’re my present and my future, you’re more than enough to me.”

—

You sigh, standing up to leave the cafe. Glancing at the people around, loneliness creeps inside you, you’ve been here for an uncountable times but you have never felt this way before. You stop at the Eiffel Tower, people always say it’s overrated but they still go to this place every chance they get to visit France, you let out a small laugh. It’s already night time, the lights of the Tower sparkle in the darkness. You’re standing in the crowd, there are some street performers, some couples, some families with kids. Suddenly you feel something tickling your thigh, a little girl draws your attention as you look down.

“Quelqu'un vous donne ça” (somebody gives you this)

You frown as you take a letter from her hand. “Qui est-ce?” (Who is it?), you squat down to talk to the child.

She shakes her head, “Je ne peux pas te dire” (I can’t tell you). Then she quickly runs away leaving you in confusion.

You curiously open the letter, the slight wind blowing the paper in your hand.

“8pm. Look at the sky.”

You flip the paper over to find a clue of the person that sent you this but there’s none. You fold it up before putting it inside your jacket, 7:56pm, you look at your watch. Curiosity kicking in you as you tapping on your feet, wondering what’s this all about. May be it’s just a prank of that little kid, you shrug.

7:59pm

You glance at the night sky regardless, the stars sparkle in your eyes but soon enough a sudden light flashes on the dark sky. They’re fireworks, you widen your eyes, your mind is completely blown away. Adrenaline rushes through your veins even more when your gaze lands on a familiar figure who is slowly approaching you. You can feel your eyes water up making your vision blurry.

“Mark...”

He smiles as he gives you a bouquet, you wrap your arms around his torso.

“I’m here baby, I’m sorry.”

He pulls back to wipe the tears on your cheeks, there’s a wide grin plastered on his face. You can’t help but smile at his cuteness.

“I have a question”, his thumb strokes your jaw, “But you can only say yes.”

“Yeah?”, you mumble.

You gasp as Mark gets on his knees. “Can I be your husband?”, he pulls out a velvet box in his jacket, revealing an elegant silver ring.

Everyone is looking at you in awe, the street performers even play some classical music for the special effects. They’re all waiting for your answer.

“Yes.”, you cry in joy as Mark putting the ring on your finger.

You pull him into a kiss, “I love you.”

“I love you more.”

—The odds of existing are slim, so the odds of you and I existing the same time must be next to impossible let alone us falling in love. May be the universe does work in my favour after all or may be this world is not really that tragical. Meeting you is a nice accident, it’s our fates and I think it’s beautiful.

Top Shelf- Chapter 20: The Last Word

Pairing: Bucky Barnes x reader (bookshop, bartender, baking AU)

Word Count: 821

Summary: Celebrations and love and dancing and kisses :)

Author’s Note: So, here it is. The End. It wasn’t epic, it wasn’t new and it wasn’t easy (first time I ever tried doing a series) but honestly, if it weren’t for the amazing support I get from my friends, fellow writers, readers and just you overall incredible humans I would never have done it. You have my endless thanks and appreciation for sticking with me. Thank you for reading and I love you all! ❤❤❤ PS the lyrics at the end and the song he puts on are from Al Di La by Jerry Vale (although the original lyrics aren’t his) and you can listen here...it is literally one of my favs ever, please check it out 🥰

Warnings: Sweet fluffy happy love :)

Top Shelf Masterlist

The limo stops at the curb and Bucky opens the door; a permanent smile plastered to his face as he holds his hand out. “Here, one sec baby, let me get your dress.” He takes the material and hangs it over his arm, trying for your hand once again and successfully pulling you from the car. “There we go doll.” He circles his arm around your waist and walks toward the door, opening it quickly so you can go in.

“This was such a good idea,” you say over your shoulder, shuffling behind the counter and opening the display case to grab some macarons. “I know we ate dinner and had like a whole piece of wedding cake, but all that dancing got me hungry again.” You take a bite and hold it up for him to do the same. His hand circles your wrist and he asks, “have I told you how absolutely stunning you look?” before brushing crumbs from your lip and inhaling it. You smile shyly and fix his bow tie, kissing him softly.

“Do you remember the first day we met? You ate all my cookies!” You stop midchew. “OF COURSE, I DO and listen up Barnes, you offered! And they were damn good!” He chuckles, taking another macaron and popping it in his mouth. “Sure, whatever you say…Mrs. Barnes.” You squeal in happiness, throwing your arms around his neck and almost knocking him over. “Can you say it again?”

He swallows, suddenly much more serious in his tone, “I love you Mrs. Barnes and this has been the best day of my life so far.” You press your lips to his, laughing when you get a taste of some left-over cookie. “Way to ruin my moment,” he teases, fiddling with the necklace resting along your collarbone. “Thank you for wearing this. I know it meant so much to Grandma.” He looks at it almost reverently before bringing his eyes back to yours.

You put your hand over his, squeezing it gently, “Bucky, it’s so special and I couldn’t be happier that she wanted me wear it. She wore it at her wedding and maybe if we have a daughter, she can wear it at hers.” With teary eyes he brings your knuckles up to his lips for a soft kiss and then heads toward the steps at the back of the bookshop. He opens the gate and leads you upstairs, stopping abruptly at the top, “wait, I have an idea.”

He doesn’t say anything more and takes one arm and places it under your butt and the other around your shoulders. Lifting you up he walks through the doorway looking quite proud of himself. Carefully toeing off your shoes you nuzzle into him, “I love you Bucky. This really has been the best day ever.” He gently sets you on your feet, holding up a finger as he walks to the small table by the lamp. The old record player Grandma Betty kept all these years sits on top and he takes a vinyl from its case, hiding the cover from your eyes.

Your smile grows while you wait, silently running through a list of songs in your head and wondering what he picked. There are records ranging from the 50s to present day so it could be anything. The music starts softly at first, but you know it immediately, gasping softly when you hear Jerry Vale’s beautiful voice ring out through the attic.

“Oh Bucky!” He crosses the room and takes you in his arms, swaying back and forth to the melody. “One more dance?” You simply nod, brushing your fingertips over his cheek before resting your head on his shoulder. He caught you listening to this song on repeat one night when he got home from the bar. Your hair was thrown up in messy bun and you were organizing the socks drawers at 2am, singing way too loud and off key. It was hard to forget because you spent the next hour in his arms, listening to the song and dancing in your shared apartment, talking about your hopes and dreams.

“You remember,” you whisper into his neck and look up into his eyes. His lips brush against yours in a barely there kiss, stealing your breath, “of course I do.” He parts his lips and runs his tongue over yours, ghosting his fingers up your neck before cradling your cheek and deepening the kiss. Your hands card through his soft hair and your body completely melts against him, dizzy from his touch. He pulls away, just as breathless as you and rests his forehead to yours. “I can’t believe that I get to do that for the rest of my life. I’m the luckiest guy in the Universe.”

‘In the kiss that I gave was the love I had saved for a lifetime. Then I knew all of you was completely mine.’

~The End~

The development of Law’s relationship with Zoro - Part 5: Zou, The Kindred Spirits (Ninja-Pirate-Mink-Samurai Alliance)

<<Part I: Before Meeting>> <<Part II: Sabaody Archipelago, The First Meeting>> <<Part III: Punk Hazard, The Alliance (A)>> <<Part III: Punk Hazard, The Alliance (B)>> <<Part IV: Dressrosa, The Breaking Point (The Plan Failed)__ (Saving Law)__(Protecting Law)__ (Birdcage, Pica and Doflamingo)__ (Aftermath)>> <<Part V: Zou, The Kindred Spirits (Traveling Together)__(Searching for Nakama)__ (Reunion)__ (Ninja-Pirate-Mink-Samurai Alliance)__(The Last Moments before War)>> >>

Once Robin finished her translation, the King of the Day confirmed that indeed, red stone was hiding the leads to the place sought by the most powerful people on the sea. The legendary Rafter:

↪ Zoro (similar like King of the Night) was sitting on the ground in distance to others, yet Law was one of those closest to him. This was the second time Zoro kept sitting with Law standing in close range.

↪ On the group picture, the distance between those two changed into little to no personal space. For understandable reasons, the frame needed to contain all nine characters thus previous positions of these characters had to be disturbed. Zoro could be shown simply at Law’s left side (what was the most true in relation to the previous frame) instead it looks like Law was standing just behind the sitting swordsman.

↪ Again, Law and Zoro had a similar reaction - just a frown - that contrasted with the “open jaws” of others. They were the only two people keeping quiet.

In all fairness, there is divergence in the location of these two characters. From one panel where Zoro sit alone far away from group

to another, again between comrades.

↪ Despite the divergence, Law always stayed close (or closest from all people) to Pirate Hunter.

↪ Once again, when the group learned shocking information - Kaido and Big Mom had two from four red poneglyphs needed to find Raftel - Zoro and Law did not show much emotions while Luffy was full of enthusiasm and Weakling Trio & Brook scared for good.

Nekomamushi warned Robin that all the powerful players will seek her out to learn the truth about poneglyphs to which she replied: “I don’t mind. After all I’ve got very powerful friends who will protect me.” Interestingly, Zoro was not shown alongside other Straw Hats pledging to protect Robin no matter what or being over pleased with her words. There is no doubt he will protect her like the rest of the crew but the lack of emotional reaction to Nico’s praise adds to the feeling of quietness and coldness - traits shared with Law through the arc.

Mink leaders and samurais shared with pirate alliance information about poneglyphs and that Momonosuke’s father - Kozuki Oden - was killed by current shogun of Wano, Orochi and Kaido. The last part brought them all to tears. Zoro with unusual(?) tact asked about the reason and, like he deducted, has it anything with them being chased by Doflamingo’s people.

Kinemon confirmed Zoro’s suspicion.

“Yes… as you suspect, his crime was grievous. Kaido is attempting… to pry information out of us. The old Daimyo… lord Kozuki Oden… rode with the King of the Pirates, Gol D. Roger… to Raftel, the final island!! And it was there that he learned the secret of the world!!!”

For the first time in a long time, the position of sitting Zoro and Law changed in a way they got separated - and the distance stayed between them through the whole chapter 819:

While many characters were shocked by the reveal that Kozuki Oden was part of Pirate King’s crew, Zoro was still focused on understanding the situation of the samurais.

The loyal men of Kozuki Oden explained the fight to fulfill their dead master’s final wish to open Wano board to the world, the difficult situation in their county and their struggles to find allies who will help to beat down Kaido. Kinemon then asked Luffy and Law for help:

“And thus I have a request of you, sir Luffy!!! And of you, sir Law!!! It pains me to beg favors after you have already saved our lives… but your strength overwhelms me every time!!! If you are willing to accompany us in our struggle… then I ask for your help in the battle to strike down the Shogun of Wano and Kaido, Emperor of the sea!!!”

Luffy refused and didn’t accept the plea until Momonosuke - the heir of Kozuki Oden and leader of the samurai group - didn’t speak for himself. The boy did as Straw Hat requested and told about his wish to avenge parents and protect his loyal servants, asking for pirate help in the fight against Kaido. To which Luffy agreed, promising to defeat the Emperor.

↪ Like in Dressrosa, Luffy wanted to personally take down the enemy without considering the help of others.

But since Luffy again promised someone help without any consultation with Law, Trafalgar openly showed discontent with the other captain doing what he likes without any thought about him. This scene varies from one translation to another, either as a simply ask "And what about our pact, Straw Hat?”

about Luffy’s faith put in Law and not asking him about opinion:

In case of the latter, which I think is closer to original meaning, at least in comparison to Polish and English subtitles for episode 771, the uncharacteristic behaviour of Law will soon be more related to Zoro’s own - but about that in a moment.

And so, the Straw Hat-Heart pirate alliance changed into Ninja-Pirate-Mink-Samurai alliance.

Luffy told the ninja-mink-samurai allies there was no need to bow to them. Because for him alliance meant friendship and friends were equal. Law again disagreed with the notion alliance = friendship.

This was the second time during the Zou arc (and third in general) when Law openly rejected the prospect of befriending Straw Hats. Like he said earlier to his crew, there was no need for them to be friends. This may explain why despite being on good terms with Straw Hat pirates he didn’t try to tighten ties with them. Thus the still visible distance... that did usually not include Zoro. But then again, both swordsmen understood the pragmatic reason for forming alliance and weren’t “delusional” about friendship being required part of that.

Of course, that does not mean that Law disliked Straw Hats and vice versa. Because after so many wild adventures and fights side by side, the bond between them was made whether anyone wanted it or not.

Luffy asked allies to wait with fight against Kaido until he retrieved missing crewmember:

“I’m going to bring him back… so hold off the fighting until then! The good news is that Sanji’s real tough! Having him on board is like having the strength of a thousand!!”

Zoro’s reaction - the same as Law’s moment ago - was pretty uncharacteristic. Not in the sense of rivalry between him and Sanji but in reaction to Luffy putting so much trust & respect into someone’s else.

Similar to Law (who most likely was put off by Luffy not showing him - the co-leader of alliance - proper respect by omitting his opinion during making important decisions), Zoro was openly upset(?) that Luffy praised so much Sanji whose disappearance caused unwanted troubles. The most uncharacteristic part of Zoro & Law acting was the openness about wanting / expecting Straw Hat’s respect. At the same time, both Supernovas did not compete for that between themselves - both moments happened in relation to someone’s else. Law, in relation to other leaders of the ninja-mink-samurai part of the alliance. Zoro in relation to fellow member of Monster Trio.

On the way back to town (chapter 820), the alliance had another chance to learn pieces of mink-samurai history, a bit about the way to Raftel (brought by Nami who was worried about navigation) and what happened to Whitebeard’s pirates under Marco’s command who battled with Blackbeard one year ago. Zoro and Law were both pushed into background characters for most of the chapter. The animated version of these events (episode 771) still grouped them together in the little character-centric shots and properly showed that once again, Law walked right after Zoro at the very end. The interesting detail (seen in manga too) is that on the way back, the other characters walked in a different order than last time. Except Zoro and Law.

At some point in the journey, Law and Zoro separated. They were not very active in the main conversation until the end. Luffy asked where the alliance members will reunite with each other to which Zoro wondered if it was safe for Kinemon and the rest to return to Wano since the samurai group was targeted by Kaido. Law promised a safe journey to enemy territory in his submarine. Despite not taking an active part in the previous discussion, both Supernova paid attention to it and kept analyzing the situation.

The happy return to the town was disturbed by unexpected, powerful quakes. As it turned out, Jack came back to Zou and attacked Zunesha’s monstrously huge leg (to kill the carrier of Mink home rather than fight the remaining warriors). Ultimately, the situation was saved by Momonosuke who responded to the voice of the elephant and gave it a permission to destroy Kaido pirates. What the mysterious Zunesha did.

During that short lived moment of danger, Zoro and Law seemed to be unmoved by it (chapter 820).

and once the danger passed, both again stood close to each other (chapter 821) even though for the last 2 chapters they almost didn’t interact nor were in really close range of each other.

Next chapter: The Last Moments before War

2018 Writer Roundup

Words written in 2018: 598,020

That is all my finished work. Total for unfinished was around 750,000.

Smut scenes written in 2018: .... uh... *clears throat* lots.

Number of short fic written in 2018: Short? Whew.... it was mostly shorts with 110 shorts. Yay!

Number of fic chapters written in 2018: Total: 15

Number of chaptered fics completed in 2018: Out of 15 I completed: 10

Fandoms: Dragon Age mainly Inquisition but I have written some (very little) Mass Effect. I want to continue those but I just haven’t had the chance or inspiration.

Parings: I have three OC’s with Cullen; Diana Trevelyan, Hyacinth Trevelyan and Kiera Lavellan. Kaidan x F!Shep and Fenris x F!Hawke

Proudest achievements: I published my first book this year and while I fell short of my 4 books published goal, I got out three. One I’ve pitched to several publishing houses. *FINGERS CROSSED*

Writing resolutions for 2019: Same as last year, 1 million words and 4 published books. It might be more difficult with the other things I want to get done but that is my goal, my hill I’m going to die on. Go me.

My Fic Recs: Ok, I am most proud of my Dark Moon Tempest series. It was the most immersive when it came to lore and weaving I think I’d done to date. To be honest it has spurned me to write an original book with the same kinda lay out but new, unique non-bioware characters. More on that in the new year. It’s mature with smut incorporated, blood some deathy stuff as well.

2. If you want something more risky and interesting (Not safe for under eighteen!) There is Bound to Please. It’s from Cullen’s perspective and with an unnamed Inquisitor (female). Very fun to write and something more explicit than I’m used to doing. Short piece: 821 words

3. While it’s not yet finished I am super excited about where its going. Relief its Cullen going through Lyrium addiction with the tender help of a strangers. Love eventually blooms and well, there will be a gloriously beautiful happy ending.

Finally: My strange baby. My last long fic of 2018 Hush Little Baby. I call it my ‘what if’ story. I had a lovely nonny in my box one day asking for some missing content. A mother Hawke fleeing with her infant child from the darkspawn at Lothering. What I thought would be a quick bang out, maybe 3k of words turned into an epic of love and tenderness at 62,460 words!

There is my year in review. I was tagged by the ever lovely and super sweet @irlaimsaaralath I will leave it to you the reader if you wish to fill one out, hit my up if you do, I love to read others works.

#meme thing #thanks for the tag #year in writing

burning the candle at both ends - Chapter 9

Previous - Next

Chapter Summary: The kids aren’t alright (not yet)

Words: 821

A/N: ready for like one more chapter after this ? (i’m not)

AO3

Coming home was numb.

Blink had somehow talked their mother from leaving them alone and Race found himself sitting between Blink and Sarah on Blink’s bed. The only source of light in the room came from the TV, illuminating the three as Sarah rested her head on Race’s shoulder and Blink passed a bowl of popcorn between them.

Race huffed again, his tears since dried up, but anger still consuming his every thought. He knew he should’ve trusted his gut from the start. Even their kiss was starting to leave a bad taste in his mouth. To make matters worse all he could see was Spot’s face and the memories of how good it felt when they spent time together.

“I’m sorry for ruining the evening for both of you,” Race spoke, wanting to think about something else besides the pit in his stomach.

“You didn’t,” Blink spoke up first to Race’s surprise. “I got to punch a Delancey. I’d say it was a pretty solid evening. Sorry your ex is a jerk.”

Race let out what sounded like a strangled laugh and shook his head. “He’s not my ex. We weren’t even...”

He could see Blink’s eyebrow raise and he looked at Sarah for help. With a heavy sigh, Sarah straightened herself up, brushing her hair out of her face.

“Katherine, Spot, Mush, all three of them didn’t think this through. Maybe it was selfishness but I don’t doubt their feelings. It’ll take a while to trust again, but I’m going stay with Katherine.”

Race rolled his tongue around in his mouth, trying to figure out if Sarah had a worse deal than him and turned to his brother.

“How’d you find out about it?”

“Mush told me when we got to prom,” Blink stared at the TV, arms crossed. “He looked pretty awful when he told me. I appreciate his honesty, so he’s still my boyfriend.”

Race wondered when his best friend and his brother had gone through such drastic changes. Just a year ago, they wouldn’t have acted like this and he found it admirable. However, he’d be lying to himself if he didn’t feel little envious at how simple their convictions were.

Thinking back to Spot, all Race could feel was his heart being torn into several pieces while wanting to just have Spot in his arms.

Spot had been honest too.

He didn’t try to hide it, but Race began to wonder if that was all he had been doing up to that point. Hiding and lying until Race couldn’t see the flaws in what they were. Spot’s confession echoed in his ears, his face coming in flashes as Race battled with himself.

He knew his mind was holding onto the past and Race slumped against the pillows, his mind far from the simple distractions Blink’s room offered.

There was no word from Spot.

While Race wouldn’t admit it out loud, he had kept his eye out for any strange disappearances, odd happenings, but the news remained as normal as ever. Race hated the blame he held for himself when he had just been trapped at the bottom.

Even if he wasn’t in the mood for forgiveness, he longed to hear Spot’s apologies. Wanted to believe prom had been a bad dream and that things were as they should be.

He just wanted Spot.

“Where’s your brother?”

Turning from the street, Race leaned against the porch railing, tucking the newspaper away. “Probably out for a joy ride. Doing hard drugs. I don’t know.”

As soon as the words left Race’s mouth, guilt consumed him as his mother sighed.

“Race, I know this year has been hard and I’ve put a lot on you...”

Keeping his face as blank as possible, Race’s shoulders dropped. “I’ve been kind of unfair too, Ma. I should’ve looked into local colleges before applying for California.”

“Anthony.”

The use of his real name pulled Race from his shell and he held his breath, waiting for the other shoe to drop.

“Your heart’s set on California, isn’t it?”

Scratching at his arm, Race played it off and shook his head. “I guess.”

“Aunt Marie wants to see you as soon as you move in. You know what would happen if we had to tell her you’re not coming after all.”

Race’s head snapped up, his eyes wide as his mother grinned at him. Without a second thought, Race rushed to wrap her in a hug, a small whispered, “Thank you,” leaving him.

“What do you say we make some food?” Race’s mother patted him on the back. “And you can tell me more about the school.”

With a small weight lifting off his shoulders, Race followed his mother inside, the morning a bright moment in his otherwise bleak weekend.

For now, he could forget about Spot and take joy in spending time with someone who he could count on through thick and thin.

In the Bag - Ch 3/10 - a One Piece gen cat fic

Fic Summary:

All pirates have hordes of treasure. It just so happens in this life, cats are the treasure in Luffy’s.

Chapter Title: Fancy Talky Things

No Pairings

821 words

(ao3 link in blog description)

One of the guards approached her as she was preparing breakfast.

“Miss Kaya,” the guard greeted.

“Yes? How are you?” Kaya stood up and met him halfway.

“Rather well. I came here to inform you that you have a ‘guest’ in the cat garden.”

The guard need say no more. Kaya was already off toward the back entrance of the mansion, where Merry had installed a utopia for the resident outdoor cat. The guard who informed her followed quickly at her heels.

“Usopp?” Kaya called out nervously as she entered the garden.

No resounding chirp replied back. If she strained her ears, she might hear something…

“Shishishi,” came a quiet laugh a little ways deep into the foliage and miniature forest.

The guard by her side rested a hand on his baton. Kaya held her hand out and ushered for them to move toward the sound of human laughter slowly.

As they crept closer, the laughter grew louder. Besides human, there was the distinct and familiar chirp of Usopp nearby.

“Oi, you two can come play with us, too! People might be a bit too big for kitten play but we can make an exception,” a boyish voice said toward their location.

Kaya nodded and the guard obediently stood up. As his eyes widened, Kaya nervously asked, “Well? Is it safe?”

“Ah, er,” the guard said a bit stiffly. He helped her up. “Yes, Miss Kaya. More than safe.”

“Really?” Kaya said.

The guard pointed behind her. “See for yourself.”

“Oh!” Kaya was pleased to find a familiar and very welcome face in her garden. “Luffy-san! You’re here!”

“Oh, diamond lady! Hi!” Luffy waved. Usopp and the pretty tabby of the two guest cats leapt after the feather toy jumping with his hand.

Kaya smiled and sat near the dozing cat across from Luffy. “What brings you here today?” she asked. Her smile grew as Usopp successfully pawed at the feather, only to have it tickle his nose and make him sneeze.

“Uwaa, I know I should have called but this couldn’t wait,” Luffy said with a huff.

“It’s alright. What did you need?” Kaya had a number of things she could provide Luffy, but she already knew his personality enough to know he was unpredictable in these things.

As he expertly jogged the feather toy around, Luffy leaned his cheek onto his fist. “I just need your permission to kidnap Usopp.” Luffy shrugged. “Just a tiny favor.”

“Kidnap?” Kaya repeated.

“Dang, I should’ve used ‘catnap’ instead! Flower guy would be so disappointed,” Luffy lamented woefully. He saw Kaya looking, a frown on her face. “I heard something from Merry-guy.”

Kaya nodded, her concern lightening a bit. Merry wouldn’t let bad news sit for too long.

“I don’t want to make you choose,” Luffy was saying, “but when it comes down to it, their happiness is more important.”

She suddenly remembered two days ago, the morning after Merry had gotten off the phone with the vet after Klahadore had thrown up for the third time the day before.

“Klahadore has FIV,” Kaya said into the silence that had fallen between them. It was coupled with the purr of the one-eyed roan cat and the angry growls from the pretty tabby cat. Usopp didn’t make a sound, which meant one of many things.

Kaya didn’t know when the news had affected her so much.

“I don’t want Usopp to leave,” she murmured into her hands. Usopp padded over and nudged her arm, rubbing his ear against her comfortingly.

“He has to.” Luffy’s voice was strong and non-demanding. “I can’t take in Klahadore. I love Nami and Zoro.”

Kaya contemplated that and accepted something that had been warring within herself.

She straightened and gazed at Luffy straight on. “I give you permission,” she said with conviction Merry would be proud of.

Luffy blinked and grinned, thoroughly pleased. “Shishishi!” Luffy reached over and patted Usopp’s head. “Hey, Usopp, this is great! You can play with Zoro and Nami more often, now!”

They burst out into laughter as Usopp looked downright offended at the notion.

Kaya wiped at her tears. Luffy was right. It wasn’t what she wanted, it was what they needed. Between a human’s love and a cat’s happiness, the latter was the obvious choice. Syrup was a small shelter mainly hosting old cats and few kittens. The cats with special needs had to have foster homes fast or else…

Everyone and everything deserved a chance; that was her creed.

Her wet smile said, “I’m sorry” while Luffy’s signature wide grin beamed, “Any time!” as he handed over the feather wand and walked past her.

“Hey!”

Kaya turned and found Luffy standing by the propped open garden gate, hands clasped at his nape and his straw hat framing his head like a crown. His feline friends walked ahead, knowing or not caring that their human had stopped following.

“Do you have an Instagram?”
