New Life (Katakuri X OC) ✓

After All This Time

It was night time, Croissant couldn't sleep, and began wandering around, it surprised her sometimes, her wander lust that is. But she get lost easily, while knowing staying still will do the best of her, she just couldn't

The night time wind was nice in the deck, she found Oven putting his arms on the back of his head as his back press on the railing.

"Hey" Croissant called

"Cro?" Oven said opening his eyes

"What you doing?" Croissant ask

"Nothing, just enjoying the breeze, you?" Oven ask back

"Couldn't sleep, decided to get some air." Croissant said while resting her elbow on the railing as she looked out to the sea

"How you been lately?" Oven ask

"About what?" Croissant ask confused

"Well about all of this" Oven said. Croissant knew it was about the killing.

"Well, truth be told, I don't feel anything." Croissant answer looking at the star.

"Huh?" Oven looked confused

"I don't know how I feel, if that make any sense" Croissant said as she began walking away

"It was nice talking, I'm heading back in, the air was colder than I thought" Croissant said waving her hand

After she went to her room, she tried closing her eyes, only to be haunted by nightmare, and waking up drenched in cold sweat. The foul mood of her could be seen by Katakuri and the crew. They didn't bother her a bit. Even Oven who was always teasing her didn't. Oven told Katakuri about what he and Croissant talked about. He also looked confused, but also worried.

She killed the pirates in even colder-blood that day, surprising the crew with her new side.

That day, she didn't felt like sleeping because she didn't want anymore nightmare. Her wander lust came to her, wandering around the ship, going back and forth, she was getting frustrated. She slammed a door as just went inside thinking it was her room, which turn out wasn't.

She met eyes with Katakuri who didn't wear his vest, but most importantly he didn't wear his scarf. Katakuri eyes were filled with shock and confusion. She immediately ran towards him, and place her hand on his scar lightly

"Are you okay?" Croissant ask worried

"Are you hurt?" Croissant ask again

"When did you get hurt? Does this hurt? Kata?" She ask again, her voice was filled with panic. Her already bad mood worsen, how could she didn't know that Katakuri was hurt.

"I-I should get help" Croissant said then face the door to exit

Her arm was gripped by Katakuri, he didn't let Croissant leave.

"You're not laughing at me, Cro?" Katakuri ask looking down

"What are you talking about, you're injured!!" Croissant raised her voice.

"No, no its fine, these are all healed." Katakuri said slowly meeting Croissant's eyes

Croissant looked closer and realized it was.

"I'm sorry, I panic, my mistake.."

"No it fine, but you're not making fun or think I'm scary?" Katakuri ask again. He did have a scar and some sharp teeth, but it didn't change who he was.

"Kata" Croissant place her palm on Katakuri's cheek. They had eye-contact for a while.

"You're you, that won't change how I look at you." Croissant said.
