Human (eng. vers) (Heat x OC)

9.

It was still daylight when Heat woke up, it was late evening. Iris was still asleep, she whistled slightly and had drooled over his chest. She was adorable even while sleeping. The pirate tried to free himself, but all he managed to do was tighten her grip around his waist. Sighing, he stroked her hair and decided to wait for her to wake up, she had still tears on her cheek.

He couldn't bear to have hurt her, at first he thought what he felt was friendship, a bond that connected him to her because they were both considered monsters. And then finally, Wire made him understand the feelings he really developed for her. He considered her a woman, she was no different from the others just because of her appearance, or her childhood. She knows how to fight, she understands what surrounds her and... He would lie if he said that he did not find her pretty. After all, maybe his teammates were right in making fun of him that he was romantic ...

However, there were two reasons why the pirate did not dare to admit what he was feeling. First of all, because of Iris' past, men torture her, and maybe now... Love was something that scared her now. And then ... The last relationship that Heat had did not end well, she said she loved him, but when he had to go to sea and he became a wanted pirate. She started to be afraid of him, she cheated on him and ran away. Usually he kills everyone who hurts him, but ... He couldn't do it this time.

"Heat ... Let me go ..."

"You cheated on me !? "

"What !? Did you think I was going to sit there, quietly waiting for you while you sail the seas ? How can I be sure you wouldn't sleep with someone else? ... Oh yes, no one wants you, you have a frightened head. "

"You said you loved me as I was." 

"Heat ... We say a lot ... We were kids, it was before... All of that..."

She touched the scars on the side of his mouth and sighed.

"I'm leaving, I met a man who ... Will give me another life than all this stress and all this madness ... Damn! You really believe it !? Do you believe in One Piece !? It's a story we told ourselves when we were still children ... "

" Who is this man ? "

"A sailor, so I advise you not to try to find me ..."

Suddenly he grabbed her arm, his gaze was cold and dangerous, he scared her ...

"Heat? Heat! Let go of me you hurt me! "

He pressed her against the wall of their house, her head hitting the wall, causing a thud, blood spilled down the back of her head and he understood what he had just done. He let go of her, she was crying ... A man entered the house on hearing the noise, it was him, her new lover.

"I knew I shouldn't have left you alone, but she said you wouldn't hurt her." 

"I was ... I was wrong. He's a monster... "

She said looking at him terrorized.

"Heat? ... "

The pirate came to himself, he hadn't noticed that he had squeezed Iris so hard that his fingers had plunged into her hip.

" Sorry ! "

He said, walking away quickly. He turned his back on her and looked at his hands, his body was trembling ... Suddenly, two small arms saw wrapped around his chest.

"All is well ... Nightmare went away ..."

He smiled and put one of his hands on hers and let her come in front of him.
