Sakura Blooms (Yamato x Male Reader)

Chapter 3 - Intertwined

Yamato's age: 24

Y/N's age: 26

Y/N watched Yamato as she sat hugging her knees, awaiting his arrival. Y/N roamed his gaze over her hair, her locks falling at perfect angles, to her curves, perfectly shaped, to her face. Y/N sighed. That conversation with Ace yesterday really didn't do anything good to clear up what he felt about her.

"Hey." Y/N walked over to where Yamato sat. She looked up.

"Hey Y/N." she sighed, and hugged her knees closer to her body. "You know... I think I'm gonna miss company like Ace."

"Me too." Y/N surprised even himself with those words.

"Really?" Yamato's eyes widened.

Y/N nodded. "Ace and I talked yesterday. After we left. He even gave me his vivre card. He seems like a really good person. It might even be him ending up finding the One Piece."

"That'd be pretty cool." Yamato murmured. "He did say something about his brother, too. But Y/N.." Yamato looked up at Y/N.

"I thought you and Ace were gonna be pretty good friends. How come you acted so cold towards him last night?"

Y/N swallowed. "We're good friends now."

-

Yamato narrowed her eyes. "Yeah but when you two first met.."

Y/N shook his head. "Yamato." His voice was at a low whisper. "I didn't like Ace at first, because he... because I was jealous of him."

Yamato felt her face heating up. "What?"

Y/N leaned towards her, and Yamato subconsciously leaned in too. Y/N took her face in his hands. "Dammit Yamato. I love you."

And he kissed her. Yamato responded to his kiss immediately, his lips rough against hers. She felt his hands running through her hair and she grabbed his collar and kissed him harder. Yamato felt Y/N's tongue gliding across her lip and she shuddered slightly.

Finally Y/N removed his lips from hers, and smiled slightly as he watched Yamato open her eyes.

"Y/N," she whispered.

"Hmm?" he was still watching her, smiling.

"How long have you been feeling this way?" she asked.

He blushed, and Yamato felt maybe she'd said the wrong thing. "W-wait, I'm sorry–"

"Nah, it's alright. And to be honest.. I'm not sure. Definitely for a long time... maybe that night when I saw you again. You know, when you thought I'd betrayed you." he grinned.

Yamato pouted at the memory. "Yeah alright."

"How about you?" Y/N asked, nudging her playfully.

Yamato blushed at those words. Ever since she'd first met him, she'd liked him. If she told him that though, Y/N would surely laugh at her.

"I'm not telling you." she said, grinning widely.

"How's that fair?" Y/N exclaimed, pretending to look hurt.

Yamato laughed, and watched Y/N look up at the night sky.

"I think I should be going." he said softly, and stood up. Yamato got up too, and grabbed his hand.

"Okay, come with me." she smiled slyly.

-

Yamato led Y/N through a maze of corridors. Finally they stopped at a room, and Yamato opened the door. "Can you stay with me for tonight?" she whispered.

Y/N blushed. Surely not on their first night–

As if Yamato had read his thoughts, she let out a quiet laugh.

"Clothes stay on, idiot. I just don't wanna be alone."

Reluctantly, Y/N nodded. "Alright."

Yamato led Y/N into her rooms. There was a mess of paraphernalia near the bed. On the walls were tapestries of onis and samurai. She flourished her hand at the room. "So this is my room! Shit, I didn't clean up."

Yamato grabbed something which looked suspiciously like a nudie mag and stuffed it under the bed.

"What the hell was that?" Y/N raised his brows.

"Just so you know, I'm still a virgin. I haven't done anything during those ten years." Yamato announced to Y/N, who scowled. He didn't want to admit that he'd been too busy with affairs in the crew to have sex affairs.

Instead, he stifled a yawn and said, "I'm tired."

-

Yamato lay in the dark, listening to Y/N's breathing. Yamato sighed and turned so her back was facing Y/N. Unable to fall asleep, she kept her mind occupied thinking about... stuff. Mostly including Y/N, which sent tingles going down her spine, to her pussy. Fuck, she didn't even know if Y/N was a virgin.

Yamato turned back around to face Y/N. In the dim light, she could see the faint rising and falling of his chest. He'd insisted on going to sleep wearing nothing but pants. Apparently it was hot. Yamato wondered what Y/N had done in the years where he was Kaido's general. What did he do all day? Train? Or enforce laws? Look for new crew members? His job must've given him plenty of opportunity to sleep with all kinds of women. Yamato sighed again.

-

Y/N opened his eyes a fraction and saw that Yamato was still awake, and was gazing at him with her large orange eyes. "Go to sleep," he said softly, and put an arm around her. He felt Yamato breathe in, surprised, but then exhaled.

"I'll try." she murmured and shut her eyes.
