A love story on the seas (Eustass Kid x OC)

Night discussion

POV: Normal.

The young woman walked with her head down, she dared not look at anyone in the eyes. They all knew her when she didn't know anyone ... Dressed in her suit, the compulsory outfit that she hated so much because her boss thought that women looked are like objects. She crossed the old children's park now abandoned ... Needles on the ground, and beggars asking for help, she saw them every day, staring at her, sometimes trying to pull her dress ... They weren't all like that, from time to time she went to see a little girl and her mother under the little dome near the slide. She brought them food and pennies as soon as she saved enough for her ...

The young woman stop passing near the park, when one day she noticed a puddle of blood near the place where she often went ... The yellow bands of the police were now what she saw every days before going to work.

She had to put up with her's boss perverse jokes while working overtime to have enough money to try to leave this city as soon as she could. On weekends she would have liked to go out with her friends ... The same friends who only hang out with you at work but who completely forget your existence after that...

And finally this man ... The one who came every night to see her. Not for her body but for a comfort that no woman could give him. She knew he didn't like her, but how could she resist when he spoke to her as if she were alive. How could she stop giving him money because she was afraid of being alone, why would she tell him to stop hitting her because she was afraid that he would get angry again... Anyway, who would come to save her?

Why does she persist in living when no one would regret her ? Why die when people suffer so much more than they do in the world? What makes her special? She's as nice as everyone says, how could someone know who she is, if she doesn't know it herself? Sometimes I tell myself ... that I'm going to go completely crazy one day ... What if I cracked? I'm human after all, how long would I be able to endure this? I don't want this to happen ...

So the knife blade goes over and over again on her wrist but she dares not go any further, the blood grows again and again, it is everywhere in the room and she suffocates ...

"MEY !!!"

Large eyes fixed on the young elf as she opened her eyelids, breathing stressed and fast.

"It's a nightmare." She looked at the man who was holding her by the arms. She didn't recognize him, the room was too dark and she started to shake and sob.

Bright eyes like amber, a warm and reassuring grip, he didn't want to hurt her?

"Mey ... it's me Kid." She was going to cry out because of fear, when the captain pressed his lips against hers, he had done it gently but there was a certain ardor inside. The clouds finally gave way to the light of the moon. Eyes wide open, Mey could finally see Kid who was looking at her too. Seeing her relax, he released her shoulders and ended the kiss.

Kid lay back down and turned his back on him.

Mey touched her lips a little impregnated with the rest of Kid's lipstick. Her cheeks took on a pink hue before she finally understood what had just happened, had he just kissed her and left her like that?

"Kid ..."

"Sleep."

"But..."

"I already told you to ..." He turned around but stopped in his tracks when he saw Mey's face crying.

"I ... I don't understand ..." Without another word the pirate had drawn her to him and hugged her.

"Me neither ... I don't understand either."
