She's Got You (Sanji)

Lmao it's been a while but I bought a Patsy Cline vinyl and she has inspired me a lot, so here's a little blurb! Also this is a little cheesy and I personally love cheesy so :/

Her heart was heavy in her chest, like that of a lead weight. With every frantic beat of it the weight became more and more overbearing to the point of her breathing becoming shaky. Her lips were stuck in a permanent grimace that no matter how hard she tried she just couldn't get rid of it.

Her vision was heavily blurred by the fat crocodile tears pooling in her eyes, but she could still make out the glint of silver sitting on her desk in front of her. She wanted to reach out and run her fingers across it softly but she couldn't bring herself to. Instead she let out another wincing breath and continued to stare at it.

More fat tears dropped down to her chin the longer she allowed herself to sink into her own sorrow. Occasionally she could hear the obnoxious plop of a tear as it went crashing down onto her desktop, and it only made the lump in her throat bigger.

To be in such as state was beyond humiliating for her. She was being selfish, that was what she told herself.

The knob to her room jiggled, and she instantly sucked in a ragged breath and began wiping at her face with the collar of her dirty T-Shirt. No one could see her like this, even if that meant turning her back to whoever had walked in unannounced.

"(Y/N)?" The soft voice of her friend and crewmate, Nami, filled the air. "We're almost in Big Mom's territory—Oh,uh..." When the other woman caught a glimpse of her friends disheveled state she took an unsure step back.

Her worried brown eyes darted to the shiny silver lighter sitting by itself on the table, and for a moment she regretted not knocking on the door. She was well aware of who it belonged to, and that she was intruding on an extremely private moment.

Despite knowing she should leave, she didn't. Instead Nami slowly approached the girls hunched over frame, and reached over to gently put her hand on her shoulder. No one had even asked her how she was doing since they found out about Sanji's untimely departure, they had all been caught up in the preparations to bring him back.

"He may be gone right now but, we're gonna bring him back, believe me," Nami's hand shook as her friend let out another stuttering breath. "Luffy won't let him be taken that easily."

It was weak, and difficult to hear but she croaked out, "But Nami, he's getting married... All I have is this dumb lighter and she, goddamnit, she has him."

"You have to have faith, okay? Besides, she might have him, but you have his heart." Her hands moved themselves and she eventually pulled the younger girl into a tight, bone crushing hug, "There's only one woman for a man like him, and that's you."

A little bit of the weight had been lifted off her chest, and her frantic breaths had slowed down exponentially. A few tears still hung onto the corners or her eyes, but for the most part they had dried up. For the first time since they had set sail she felt at ease.

"T-Thanks Nami..." Her chest rose and fell with one last deep breath to calm herself, "I really needed to hear that."

"Alright, now let's clean you up and make you look amazing." A sly grin tugged at her lips as she pulled away from the younger girl, "I can't wait to see the look on his face when you steal him back."
