Title: The Only Battle He Had Ever Lost
Rating: G
Word Count: 186
Pairing: Luffy x Ussop
Topic: off-topic?
Note: Beware of spoilers from the Water Seven arc.




I've lost everything and it's all my fault. I should've bid my time patiently instead of confronting you - perhaps then, I could forget about being second best.

I was too naive. I thought sex was a form of commitment. But although I was your first, her face still shone brighter in your mind. I tried to force you to choose between us, but you refused to give me a straight answer. An uneasy truce sprung up; you began to wish for home, for familiarity, for safety.

I said I would protect you, but you just looked away, ashamed.

I started blaming her for the deterioration of our relationship, hoping for a sign of favoritism from you. However, you connected my jealous moments as a lover to my inevitable decision as a captain: when I announced that the Going Merry had to go, you finally gave me your answer.

"My loyalty lies with her."

Now I stand here without my ship nor my sharpshooter, laughing bitterly over what a fool love had made of me.

"...Damn you Kaya, I've lost to the mere memory of you."

Awww <3~

that was cute and angsty. Before water 7 I'd never have paired them together. Nice work.

Aw, Luffy. In serious mode. ;-; Beautiful.

Ohh, interesting take on the scene.

By the way, it's Kaya, not Kayla (unless that's what a dub somewhere calls her).
