Lukoby Stories

"I know." Helmeppo just looks at him; truly. He shakes his head, and lets out an irritated sigh. "Chasing after a man like that.. Its suicidal. You'll die before you even get the chance." (Cross-posted from Archive of Our Own. I do not own One Piece.)

Perhaps from the start, Koby had been destined to love such a terrible man. Who tugs at his heartstrings the same as he does his guitar. Doomed, just the same as Eve, who bit the apple at the gentle persistence of a snake-he, too, would devour God's holiest creations at Luffy's command. His heart stutters as the song wanes and Luffy calls out his thanks to the club, as they welcome on the next band and prepare to take their much needed rest. Koby does not miss Luffy's beckoning hand-and like a moth to a flame, a bee to a flower and a lovesick boy to his heart's greatest need, he follows. Or, Koby is an anxiety filled mess and learns that reality isn't always as complicated as he makes it.

Koby tries to ask Luffy to hang out with him, but suddenly it turns into a confession instead?! How did this happen?! He just wanted to ask Luffy to hang out with him! He wasn't prepared to confess his feelings after not seeing him for 2 years! · · ─ ·𖥸· ─ · · • 𝐎𝐍𝐄 𝐏𝐈𝐄𝐂𝐄 𝐃𝐎𝐄𝐒 𝐍𝐎𝐓 𝐁𝐄𝐋𝐎𝐍𝐆 𝐓𝐎 𝐌𝐄!!! • 𝐀𝐍𝐘 𝐈𝐌𝐀𝐆𝐄𝐒 𝐘𝐎𝐔 𝐒𝐄𝐄 𝐈𝐍 𝐓𝐇𝐈𝐒 𝐒𝐓𝐎𝐑𝐘 𝐃𝐎𝐄𝐒 𝑵𝑶𝑻 𝐁𝐄𝐋𝐎𝐍𝐆 𝐓𝐎 𝐌𝐄!!
