I was still in my realm, soaking in the tub. The warm water feels like heaven on my aching muscles. I couldn't even lift them at this point. The energy could heal any injuries like broken bones or lacerations, but muscle strain was a different story, since it's not really an injury. For times like this, I could only rely on my own body.
I thought about Zoro's reaction earlier. He obviously put two and two together. Ahhh that wandering moss head. He would've found out eventually, but it wasn't something I would've wanted to share so early on in our journey.
I'd have to take care that he doesn't wander into my bedroom. I thought about the damage in there, a little bit of pride heating my cheeks as I thought about the hole in the floor. Luffy got a good view of the kitchen from there.
We usually got pretty rough. Maybe it's the demon in me, or maybe it's the way we were raised. Always wanting the upper hand over the other, too stubborn to give up the control. He'd usually win those fights. He is stronger than me after all. But it's still fun to try!
But don't get me wrong, Luffy is an absolute sweet heart as well.
Sometimes, I would feel frustration. Angry at myself for not being able to get the upper hand. Angry because I was still so weak. He would relent then, and he'd back off and give me control.
Sometimes, I needed him sweet, and gentle. Showing me love over lust.
Sometimes, I feel worthless. And I wonder if Luffy would be better off without supporting me. On those times, he'd just hold me. Never letting go until I knew that he needed me too.
I let out a sigh, how can a succubus like me be so lucky to have a partner like Luffy?
I drained the water in the tub and stepped out. This bathroom was connected to my room, so changing was fast, and easy. I put my mask and coat on, hiding my wings once again, before teleporting back to the natural world.
"Oh shit!" I stumbled on the boat. "Why are we going so fast?" I looked around, no straw hat to be found. Zoro was rowing.
"That idiot got picked up by a bird!" He yelled out.
"What?!" I looked up to where I could sense him, seeing him in the distance.
"Can you get him?"
I frowned, "I can't use my wings...my muscles are shot." I could still feel Luffy's energy. "He's fine for now," I sighed. "He's not panicking or anything."
"You can tell?" Right, I don't think I told him that part.
"I can. Feelings of attraction are what give me power, but I can feel other emotions as well."
"That's kinda unnerving," he was a little upset.
"I know," I sighed again. "I'm sorry." It's not easy being around someone who can tell how you feel at any moment.
"Don't be. You can't help it, right? But if you use it against me, I'll kick your ass." He smirked.
I smiled back, "wouldn't dream of it," I sat down, wondering if there was anything I could do, since my wings were useless. Luffy was still in sight, but even if he weren't, it wouldn't be a problem.
Zoro sparked embarrassment. I turned to see his face flushed, and not just from rowing so fast.
"So...are you and the captain..." he began.
