Love-At-First-Sight (Katakuri × Fae) (One piece) (Completed)

Confession

Fae POV

Sanosuke and Leon brought all the presents from the shore in to my room.

I was only expecting one gift not a dozen but it made me so happy that I couldn’t stop smiling.

Not that I got all these gifts but that Leon was thinking about me the whole time he was away.

I looked at myself in the stand up mirror Sanosuke put in the corner of my room. It was by far my favorite gift that I have ever received from him.

The chocolate brown wood smelt like milk chocolate and the carving was beautifully hand crafted.

I smiled at my reflection for once, "Leon, thank you." I said happily turning around giving him a big hug.

He just smiled down at me ruffling up my hair.

"Did you have fun with Sanosuke?" Leon asked still playing with my hair.

"Yes, we baked all kinds of delicious desserts and Sanosuke taught me a couple of defensive moves. It took me a while to get them right but I still had a lot of fun. What about you? Did you deliver all the food to that poor village?"

"Yes," He refused to make eye contact with me. When he looks away from me like this, I can’t help but think he’s just being modest or he’s hiding something from me.

I smiled softly at him anyways, "That makes me so happy to know another village was saved by you." I hugged him even tighter.

My brother has the kindest heart going all around the world giving small villages a chance to survive. He’s like a vigilante in the stories I read.

He told me a long time ago that every island has it's own unique qualities whether it's fruit, water, gold, animals, plants, and etc.

That also means some islands lack something important for humans to survive on them and that's where my brother comes in.

He trades between the villages to keep them afloat and all he asked for in return is to keep some of the local items and a small fee.

I want to help but he won't let me saying, 'it's to dangerous' or 'you’ll only slow me down' but, on a more serious note. . I need to ask him.

"Leon, can I speak to you about something?" I asked him seriously.

"I'm all ears," He grinned down at me but I could tell he wasn’t really listening to me.

"You know how I always ask if I could leave the island?"

"Yes." That grab his attention and his smile slowly faded off his face.

"I always ask you, 'can I go with you?' or 'can I leave this island?' but, I think I have been asking you the wrong question." I told Leon who's frown deepened even more.

"Get to the point Fae." he sneered, staring down at me with intensity.

"Why can't I leave this island?" I said seriously not braking eye contact. His eyes widen for a split second before he gained his composure back. “Fae, it's danger-"

"You mean. . I'm dangerous." I cut him off in frustration.

"You won't let me leave because you think I'm some kind of monster! Don't you?!" I cried feeling the tears threatening to spew out.

This wasn't the way the conversation was suppose to go but I couldn't help myself.

"Why in the world would you think that?" Leon whispered looking mortified.
