"he's still not awake old man?" You asked while taking a sip of your morning coffee, sitting down on a chair by the table in the living room, the old man making some weird things again that you're already used too it.

You also tried forgetting what had happened a few days ago with Cora, as you closed your eyes, trying to forget it as hard as you can not knowing how red your face actually is right now.

also I can taste things in my human form.

"No, it's been three days, but his body looks really strong, I think he might wake up any day now" he said while he laughed, you on the other hand kept sipping your coffee trying to think how you're going to interact with the guy if he wakes up after what had just happened.

"His body must be in shock you know, with all those wounds he took and bullets, he also has already a lot of scars" the old man continued.

well, seeing all his body- ahem.. I mean seeing the wounds on his body.. those long arms.. muscles... lanky- Alright! I'm acting like a pervert! Shut up brain!. You thought to yourself while mentally slapping yourself.

you let out a cough slightly drowning from the coffee, trying to forget the thing you've imagining before the old man suddenly pointed out how your cheeks started burning red.

"A-anyways.. I think I'll go out again.. I need to train" you said stuttering in your words before you stood up, the old man letting out a laugh.

I'd like to train again for the future, I know I lasted a few hours fighting that pink guy, but it's a bit hard when you're literally a fan of him in the past even from how I hate him.

Also one of my cousins is obsessed with that flamingo guy. You thought to yourself as you remembered your cousin's making you remember a few happy memories with them. Then her face started turning red again when he thought about that night.. again!

...I also can't believe I'm thinking such dirty thoughts, what happened to you, y/n?! Snap out of it! I need to train, learn more magic and how to control it, maybe also find a way to not be evaporated from the sea or salt.

"Haha, are you trying to avoid me now, Y/n?" The old man asked still laughing, while you already took a run for it, closing the door behind you shut by slamming.

".. that kid really.. his already strong as she is, why does she keep pretending to be weak?" The old man spoke while letting out a chuckle to himself.

After a few hours, the old man walked inside the room where corazon is still resting and sleeping, he sat down in front of the fireplace.

He then started fixing Corazon's feathered clothe coat, interested about it, since it looks strange, and there's also a few feathers that have been fluck out so he started fixing it.

After a few moments he started hearing some kind of mumbling from the guy laying on the bed, making him look up at what was happening.

"Ah.. seems like his dreaming of something.. is he having a nightmare?" The old man asked as he stood up while letting out a groan, he started checking on the guy who now started moving around in his sleep.

His eyebrows knitted together, also seeing how he keeps gritting his teeth and mumbling something some coherent words.

"Hey, are you alright young man?" The old man asked, he slowly put his hand down on the guy's forehead if his having another cold, but before he could, the man woke up.

"Law!!" He screamed sitting up from the bed making the old man take a step back and slightly fall looking surprise, not expecting the guy to suddenly and abroutly wake up.

Corazon glanced at the old man seeming to not notice the old man a few seconds ago,  but before he could say anymore he looked down on his side, starting to panic after finally noticing the old man.

"ah! I apologise... are you ok??" Corazon asked as he started panicking, when he tried to move he suddenly slipped up because of the blanket making him fall face first on the floor.

The old man on the other hand already stood up, seeing the guy in front of him with his face flat on the ground, letting out an amuse chuckle.

After a few hours the old man brought the guy something to eat also giving him some tea, as the old man sat down in front of the guy while corazon continued to sit on the bed.

The old man then started explaining what happened the other night, but not really the full story.

"I see.. so you were the one who saved me?" Corazon asked while staring at the empty bowl in his hand already done with eating, his memory a bit fuzzy of what happened.

'I wonder if Law escaped safely, I'm really thankful that I've been saved, I didn't think I would still survive after that many shots I've taken.'

"Mm.. not really me, but the kid I'm living with, you're lucky she helped you, though I can see it in her face she was a bit bothered, as if she's asking herself if she did the right thing, funny right? Hahaha" the old man says, after fixing the man's black feather coat, he also started fixing Corazon's shirt, except for the pants though.

'A kid? Who? I don't remember anyone saving me that's a kid's... was it that girl?'

"Hahaha! I also forgot to introduce myself even though this is the second time we met already, my name is Takeshi Yamamoto, though you can call me anything you want or just gramps like her, Y/n is who I'm talking about... Although she actually calls me old man all the time" The old man says with a warm smile before he stood up and put Corazon's coat and shirt beside him on the bed.

Even though y/n literally call him old man

"Ah.. thank you very much, you can call me corazon.. or Rosinante.. I guess" corazon replied thankful for the old Man's kindness.

'I'm not really sure about my name now, since my real name is Rosinante and the other one is just... A code name...'

'...her? Who is he talking about? I guess I'll find out for myself if he really is talking about that girl who stood up in front of me that night'

"Corazon or Rosinante huh? anyways are you done Eating? let me clean that up for you" Yamamoto said as he reached out his hand towards the bowl in Corazon's hand.

"Ah no, yes, thank you so much-" Yamamoto was just going to get the bowl when it suddenly dropped to the floor, making it break into pieces, the old man looked stunned not being able to move.

"ahh!! I apologize! It's my fault!...Let me clean it up" The man spoke and started to panic again because of his clumsiness.

"Bwahaha! It's fine, it's fine you shouldn't be moving around with your wounds still not fully healed up yet, and it's quite alright, you're quite the clumsy young man are you?" The old man says, kindly grabbing the pieces of bowl that was left on the floor before leaving, his Laughter can still be heard.

'That's so embarrassing... I can't believe I'm still clumsy, I guess Law is right, it's not a cover but I really am clumsy'  corazon thought to himself while slightly tearing up and maybe blushing.
