Haven't decided if I like this...

Title: Decisions
Rating: G
Pairing: Kinda Ussop/Sanji
Word count: 197
Notes: Not my normal style, but hey- I'll give this a shot... ^_~
Sometimes it was so hard to lie.
Sure, to everyone else it was easy- second nature, but to lie convincingly enough to himself, the master of liars- and believe it?
But it was ok. He was ok. If he wasn't, what else could he be?
He loved her. He didn't know when or how it happened, but it did. He was honest enough to admit that to himself. And he had promised himself he'd wait for her, go back to her after all the adventures were done. She'd laugh, and clap, and listen to stories that were too big to be true, but too amazing for even him to make up. Embellish, perhaps...
But that was so hard now, with him so close- and he didn't know how or when it happened, but he had started to love him as well. And it hurt, somewhere deep in his heart, that he couldn't honestly love both of them and keep his promise- that he would have to decide.
But the now comforting smell of smoke curled around him, and the warm body next to his dulled the ache, just a little.
