"You're covered in burses and scrapes, and the had you chained down didn't they daym mother-, jerks, daym jurks." The funky haired guy,who was kneeling down as he was looking me over as asked. I know they said they wouldn't hurt me but, why would I trust them. As the man bandaged me up and trended my cuts, both new and old, all I could think of is if i should leave here. going home would put them in danger I guarantee, but staying here will make them think i really am dead. Maybe that's for the best though, for a few years at least. I'll go along with being dead. I'll miss sabo and Luffy a lot, and viceversa. I have to to keep them safe, thats my job as their older brother.
"So you want us to take you home? where do you live anyways?"
"Am I safe here?" my voice almost a whisper.
"That's what we said, we have no reason to hurt you. Even if we did you just a kid so even then you would be fine." He got off his knee to stand up, wiping off his pants after.
"If I stay here I'll be ok?"
"You wanna stay here?" his eyes widened, clearly being caught off guard.
"If I go back I'll only be putting them in danger again, just like always."
"You should at least let them know you're ok. You're so young, I'm not sure who they are but do t you think they deserve to know you are ok?" I batted my eyes away .
"It's been months already, they will find out one day. I know it." of course I'm refusing to when they set out to sea but I'm not gonna say that out loud.
"Alright than, you win." He smiled at me gently. "Why dont we go ask where you can set your self up, bedroom wise. I take it you'll be here a while. As we go and after that you can get a little tour around." The man winked at me as I got up off the bed I was sitting on. I still feel off here but all I can do for now is agree with that at least. Walking towards the med bays exit my stomach let out an almost death cry.
I grabbed at it as if it would shit itself up that way. My face red.
"Alright than right to the kitchen than." He laughed as me led the way. I felt like I was following him like a lost puppy dog as some would say.
We walked down a few halls as Marco gave any important info quickly. We got to the Kitchen in no time, smart to have them close enough I guess.
"Hey Thatch? You wanna do me a favour?" He called out. Even though he was getting farther away I couldn't help but look around. This place was huge, I've never seen a dinning place the big, it was fairly empty too. A few groups chatting here and there but most the people here where actin the kitchen attached. I snapped myself back and followed Marco again.
As I get next to him again I notice all the chefs at work. A few quickly looked at me than looked back at the food. I guess not many people here actually know what hat just happened on deck.
"The Man with the funny looking pompadour hair is named Thatch, he's the ships head cook and our 4th division commander."
Looking at him, he looks like a nice man I suppose, I mean he's making me food so he can't be a bad guy.
We sat down at a table right next to the little window between the who rooms.
A few minutes later a plate gets placed in front of me. Not sure what it is exactly but it looks like nothing I've ever even seen. It looks amazing. Marco stood up and walked to the side with Thatch to talk leaving me to the food. He must have severely underestimated my appetite even without being starved. The food was good but it lasted no time. The chefs caught on quickly so it was fine.
Later after a tour of the ship)
"So you wanna stay here?" White beard looked down at me.
"Yes, for as long as you'll allow." He sighed and put him fist under is chin as he rested the arm.
"Well I guess you have no where else to go since you refuse to tell anyone your alive. So I'll let you stay here."
I usually don't do this but I've seen Makino do it a few times as she left the hide out so I'm taking it as a nice thing to do.
All I can do is put my trust and life in this man's hands so.
"Thank you, I'll do almost anything you ask of me as I long stay here." My head bowed down with my hands to my side. I could feel the embarrassment but it's needed I guess.
"Ga lalala." He laughed at me, pissing me off. I raced my head with my eyebrows furries with the embarrassment. "For now all I ask of you is this," I looked up at him hearing. "Here we go's" and "I knew this was coming."'s my eye almost twitching with concern of what he's was about to ask me.
"All I ask of you is to call me your father and let me call you my son." My eye twitching, what was with this man, he knows who I am and I just asked to live here, and he asked this? Why this?
I lay in my room, quietly wondering how my life came to this although not completely complaining I mean it's nice that the old man doesn't care and I'm free of the cuffs. I have an actual bed now and food. These guys will never replace everyone but it's nice to have people oddly enough.
Now for an actual good sleep.
I'm not Proof reading this chapter I'm in a depression, and I only have the motivation to write it.
