Mask Of Anxiety

"hi! What's your name dear?"

"(y/n)? That's a very pretty name!"

"and what's their name?"

"oh... Jaize and puffy? Those are very cute names."

"my name?...."

"well.... My name is......."

Your pov.

Opening your eyes once again only to stare at the ceiling.

'can't sleep....' you thought while sitting up. Lifting a hand up to run your fingers against those (h/c) hair locks and letting it fall again on your lap

You looked at the digital clock which displays '2:00' on it.

You sighed and figured this night isn't the time to sleep. You grabbed your white mask from the bedside table and tying it on the back of your head. Before heading out to the deck in just a plain black shirt and some sweats.

Leaning back against the railing of the polar tang, you sighed inwardly.

You just closed your eyes and listened as the cold wind nipped at your skin, the sound of the waves hitting against the ship/sub as the sail and flag being blown on by the wind fills your ears.

Turning back around, you glared intensely at the setting moon

"what're you doing up so early (y/n)-ya?" you heard your captain as you basically jumped

You looked by your shoulder but didn't respond as he leans in beside you keeping a certain distance.

"I asked you, didn't I?" he continued now annoyed.

You just raised a paper, it says:
'I just can't sleep.'

"why do you not speak? Are somewhat mute or something? Using some hearing aids perhaps?" he asked as he tried to look for the said hearing aids as you stop him by you holding your hand up.

'I just don't want to talk. That's it.'

"really.... I know a person who doesn't talk too..."

'can I say I don't care a fuck?! I don't care!' you thought.

"he was..... Kind.... He died tho."

'actually, I want to hear more'

As foretold the story as if he's just talking to himself since you were so quiet he can only hear himself.

"... So yeah, that's besides it"

He looked at your direction and saw you looking but as soon as he saw you staring you quickly turned your head forward.

A ghostly smile crept on his lips as he secretly scooters over.

You just let him do what he wants. Then you felt a small tug at the tie that held your mask and out of instinct, you just covered the knot with your hand and back away.

You just made the gesture for him to stop as you walked away.

'what on the national earth was he thinking?!'

You went inside your room and sat on your desk, beside your desk was the bed and the other side has two book shelves, on one each side on the corner with just a small porthole in between.

All the while, on the other side of the bed were your instruments, yes, you love instruments and music, it calms you. The instruments are: violin, a normal guitar, an electric guitar, the electric piano/synthesizer, and of course, the tambourine.

The instruments were neatly placed against the wall in its stand and the wardrobe against the same wall your desk was against to.

And you had a bean bag chair just propped on the other corner of the room where you usually play your instruments.

The door to the bathroom was beside the book shelves opposite the chair.

You sighed a little before leaning back on the swivel chair and grabbed a nearby book by the desk.

'chemical components'

"she could've read this in a jiffy." you said to yourself before reading the book.

A few moments later you placed a bookmark on the book and placed it back on the shelf before fixing yourself up for breakfast, tying your hair on a low ponytail and your mask's tie tucked inside your hair and into your uniform.

As you walked over to the gallery, you heard them almost to chaos for like a few meters away from it.

Once you opened the door, you saw them arguing about something on the news paper.

"look (y/n)-San" ikkaku said handing you a wanted poster.

'so these freaks has gone up by 100 thousand for a week?' you thought

The poster said; 'Irish taurus, 1M beli'

Switching the poster since there's another one.

You almost yelled 'WHAT?!' if you didn't stop yourself, this one was up by 500 thousand beli.

It said; 'Firefox jaize, 1.5M beli'

'these freaks....'

"they increased, and said here 'two so called syndicates demand to give their best friend back' they never mentioned who's their friend"

'those freaking.' you thought as you shrugged to her.

"they're dangerous too, they destroyed the fifth marine embassy with just them two.... Captain is considering to ask them to be a apart but..... No... They're too scary"

'dude, I literally destroyed 10 nations and killed everybody when I was like, fifteen and that's scary to you?'

"I don't want to meet them.... They're scary..." penguin said

"but dude! This Irish girl is cute!"

"and so is the other?!"

"well.... No.... But still. Wouldn't that be cool?!"

"what's cool?" you basically jumped slightly hearing your captain's words behind you.

"look sir, these two had destroyed yet another marine embassy!"

"that's...."

"awesome!!"

'awesam dude'

"anyways, you still gonna try and..... Recruit them sir?" shachi asks with some hope.

"yeah.... If we can find them though" he mumbled as shachi was filled with hope.

"bepo-ya!" he called to the bear as he called back then apologized.

"when are we going to reach the next island?"

"a-about 4 weeks..... I'm sorry!"

Captain brushed his apology off and turned to you then looked away.

'what's with him?'

"anyways (y/n)-San, do you know these two?" you shook your head 'no' although these two were some of your most troublesome friends..... Like 'the child'.

"oh..."

"ooooohhh..... I wish these two were in the next island~" shachi cooed

"if you aren't afraid the island to explode" you accidentally spoke aloud

"wait. Who said that?" ikkaku said as you started to pale.

'fuck.'
