Break the Shell~ Traflagar Law Love Story

IV: The Talk {pt 1}

Law's P.O.V.

                          I sat at my desk writing vigorously on the sheet of paper. I had just gotten back from having lunch with my crew, but (Y.N.) wasn't there. She didn't show up for lunch, so I was putting in more information in my data chart. Putting my pen down; I studied the chart.

                          "(Y.N.) has missed lunch in the past three months, 20 times, had skipped breakfast 17, and has missed dinner 30 times." I whispered, clutching the papers tighter. She was slowly drifting away from the crew, and only I had really noticed her behavior. 'Why are you hiding yourself (Y.N.)? What are you hiding?', I questioned to myself, before putting the papers down. I ran my hands through my hair; closing my eyes, while my body felt the rocking of the ship.

                         "Dammit!" I shout, irritated and tired. 'She was one of the best members of my crew, and she's just starting to shut herself out. What could possible be so bad that she has to hide herself from her own crew; that she has to remove herself.'

                        I sat down, and rested my head down on my desk. The sun was just beginning to rise, and the waves were slowly rocking the boat. I hadn't slept right for the last few days, because of (Y.N.)'s sudden change in behavior, and I knew I wouldn't feel right until I found out why.

                        "I need to ask her why... I need to know why she's so keen on avoiding us." I spoke to myself as I slowly began to drift off into sleep.

                        'Please (Y.N.), I want to help you'; I gave myself on final thought before falling into a short slumber.

   Narrator's P.O.V.                     

                     "Captain! Captain! Captain are you awake!" yelled Bepo, as he pounded out the door. Bepo stood still for a moment as he heard something hit the ground from beyond the door. Soon Law stepped out; dark circles clearly visible under his eyes, and his hair was in a mess.

                     "W-what is is Bepo?"

                     "I was going to tell  you that breakfast is almost ready so you might want to come down soon." Bepo said quietly as he studied his captain. Law rubbed his puffy eyes.

                    "I'll be down in a couple of minutes." the door shut to Law's room, and Bepo still wondering about his captain; he begun to head back until he saw (Y.N.) standing by the corner. Her eyes also had dark circles, and something seemed to be off about her.

                    "Oh, (Y.N.) I was coming to wake you up, but I guess you already woke up from the smell of food." Bepo laughed, scratching the back of his head.

                   "Uh, yeah. I'll be down after I get dressed." she sighed, turning the corner swiftly.

                   'What's wrong with those two? They seem very off today', Bepo questioned, as he headed downstairs to go eat breakfast.

                    The day had just begun, and the tension was already rising by the second. A storm was brewing, and it wasn't going to be pretty.

(Y.N.)'s P.O.V.

                   As soon as I turned the corner, I could already fill my anger boiling. I could tell from Law's face he didn't get enough sleep. I could tell that he was up all night looking at things. I could tell that he was worrying about me. I was done with letting my captain worry over me, and not paying attention to himself.

                  I slammed the door to my room, and marched over to my book covered desk, and threw everything off of it. The rage in me was slowly pouring out, but not fast enough.  I grabbed the mirror off my desk and slammed it into the ground. 'Why? Why? Why!', I screamed internally as fell down to the ground on my butt, not caring about the glass on the ground.

                 'Why can't he just understand I don't want his help? Why can't he see I don't need him to try and save? Why can't he just leave me?', I internally screamed in my mind, about how ignorant my captain was. I didn't want anyone to look into my past. I didn't want anyone to worry about me. I just wanted to be alone.

I just want to be alone.

Law's P.O.V.

                     I had been in my room, reading my medical books with (Y.N.) in the back of my mind. She at least showed up for breakfast this morning, but she didn't say a word. I also could have sworn I had seen bandages on her hands.

                     I put my surgical book down, and laid my head down on my desk. (Y.N.) had been on my mind for the last couple of months now, and I've been obsessing over her. I was worried sick about her. I was worried why she wasn't sleeping right. Why she wasn't talking very much anymore. Why she wasn't eating right. I was downright dreading over what would happened if this continued. If she continued neglecting her ever day needs, and never spoke to any of the crew again. Most of all, I was worried she'd leave the ship, she'd leave the crew, and above all; she'd leave me. I didn't need that to happen. I didn't want that to happen.

                    I lazily sat up, and looked out my window. The sea was calm, and of a bright beautiful blue. It felt nice. Looking at the sea made me feel a bit more calm about what was going on. I knew I had to do something, before it got too muddy. I didn't need her to feel useless and decide it was time for her to leave the ship. I especially didn't need her to leave because of me. I had to do something.

                    I removed myself from my wooden chair and headed out of my room. I could feel the tension in my chest as I headed towards her room. My feet picked up the pace against the dry board of the ship as I turned the corner. My mind began considering all the possibilities that this could end, but I knew there were only  two real ways.

She'd leave.

Or she would stay.

                   My eyes locked onto the pale yellow doors, and I could feel my heart stop. I had only ever felt so desperate once; and that was when I was with him. I couldn't bare to loose her just as I had lost him. I wouldn't be able to live with myself. I wouldn't.

                   I raised my had up to the door and knocked. I waited patiently  as I heard a few things move and footsteps head to the door. The door opened revealing (Y.N.) and her (h/l) (h/c).

                   "Um, Captain; do you need something?" she asked her voice soft.

                   "Yeah... we need to talk."
