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

I will make this work

Theo POV

I left her for two weeks but I think it was more of a punishment for me then for her to be honest. It has taken all my strength not to check up on her in secret. I should have put a cameko snail in her room to keep an eye on her but I'm already in enough hot water as it is. If she knew I was watching her, she may lash out even more and push me even further away.

I sighed, I know two weeks isn’t going to break her but I am hoping it makes her feel what I feel. . lonely.

“Hey, earth to Theo.” Akainu grumbled, yanking me out of my thoughts. “You have been spacing out a lot since you've gotten back and that’s not like you at all but if you keep this up the others are bound to notice. Seriously, pull yourself together before they suspect that something’s wrong.” He playfully punished me hard on the arm but I detected the seriousness in his voice.

I forced a smile, rubbing my hand over where he punish me, “sorry, I just have a lot on my mind and I’ve been trying to sort it all out.”

“Yeah, I’ve noticed. . so are you going to tell me where you were the last couple of weeks and don’t lie and say you were at your uncle’s. The others may by that shit but I know it’s a load of bullshit and you know it.” He crossed his arms, glaring at me.

I really hate this noisy bastard. “If you must know, I was. . I was trying to win someone’s heart and it’s not going as smoothly as I planned but what can I say, I'm enjoying the challenge.” I shrugged my shoulders, trying to brush off my frustrations. “She's like lightning in a bottle. She’s beautiful to look at from a safe distance but to dangerous to get close to and now she's all I think about.” I stated calmly and his eyebrows slightly lifted in shock.

“Well, I’ve seen you with hundreds of women but this is the first time you ever mentioned a woman like that. She must be something to grab your attention.” He looked at me curiously, “are you bringing her to formal mascarade Party?”

“Mascarade?. .” I let out a sigh, I should have known. Everything has to be extravagant with him and I was going to use the excuse that people would recognize her. I felt my eyebrow twitch in irritation, looks like that stupid old geezer had this planned ahead of time. I growled inside my head, letting out another sigh of frustration. “I plan on bringing her.” I grumbled, rubbing the back of my head with a smile that wasn't very convincing but Akainu pretended not to notice.

“That’s great but that’s just more of a hassle for me.” He groaned in annoyance, “if your bringing a date I guess I’ve got to start looking for one too.” He yanked his hat off, running his fingers through his thick black hair before putting his hat back in place. “It’s ridiculous how the elders are forcing us all to attend together.” He shook his head as his eyes clouded over in anger, “If you ask me it’s idiotic to have all the Admirals in one place even if some of the Celestial Dragons will be there.” He snarled and for once, I agreed with him.

He shot a glare towards me as if I just made things much harder for him and I guess in a way, I have. “I wasn’t planning on bringing a date but if your bringing one then the elders will be expecting us to bring one too.” He sighed, walking away, “thanks for the heads up.” His voice dripped of sarcasm as he waved the back of his hand to me.

We’ve always had a little rivalry between us and we may not like one another but we do respect each other. Despising the elders drove us closer together then we care to admit but forcing all of us to attend to these ridiculous parties is what we all have in common but even if they weren’t involved my uncle would still be forcing me to attend.

I slowly followed behind Akainu to the meeting room where Sengoku is waiting to discuss this new rookie called Monkey D Luffy AKA Straw Hat Luffy. I don’t see what the big deal is, so what if he took out another warlord. It's pirate's fighting pirate's. If they want to destroy each other I say let them. It's one less pirate we have to deal with besides, I'm pretty sure that arrogant bastard had what was coming to him to begin with. I have more important things to worry about, like tomorrow meaning the two weeks of solitude for Fae is up and now I have to face her once again.

I made an ass of myself and a part of me is not looking forward to apologizing for my forwardness. I never been good at admitting when I'm wrong but I want this to work between us and I want to be a good loving boyfriend and make her happy but she’s making things so difficult.

I sighed, pinching the bridge of my nose. Still though, I can’t believe I said what I said to her. Family is something I’ve always wanted but I'll admit I crossed the line by asking her to carry my child so easily on in our relationship.

Most of the women I have encountered would jump to the chance to carry my child but she’s not like other women and that’s why I find her so mesmerizing. She flipped out and looked at me as if I was crazy but I guess to be fair, we do only know little about each other. May be if I take a couple of steps back and go at a slower pace she’ll come around to wanting a family with me but first I must make things right with her if this is to work.

Not to mention the Mascarade Party is in two weeks and she is expected to attend but something tells me she’ll be a little to eager to leaving that room. I just have to figure out how I can use that to my advantage to move forward in our relationship that she refuses to commit to. I have a lot to do with so little time but I will make this work.

I watched Akainu disappear into the meeting room and I stopped a few feet away from the set of doors, straightening up my tie and forcing all my thoughts in the back of my mind before entering the meeting room with the other Admirals and Vice Admirals.
