Title: That's What I Think When I Think About You
Theme: Time
Rating: G
Pairing: UsoLu
Word Count: 199
Notes: I love this. Inspired by Cyndi Lauper's "That's What I Think." Great song. Set prior to ep 332 or any such nonsense. ^_~ Just makes it sadder though...

I’m up here in the crow’s nest. The sun is so bright. You scamper around on the deck, yelling at our cook.

“OI, SANJI! WHEN WILL THE FOOD BE DONE?!”

A muffled reply sounds.

“…’bout twenty minutes…”

So you start counting the seconds.

“One, two, three, four, five, six, seven…”

I hear the ship creak ominously below our feet. Every little wave, every second you count brings it closer to falling apart. It has been keeping me up at night. Listening to the sounds, the cries of pain. It’s all I can think about.

“Fifty-eight, fifty-nine, SIXTY! THAT’S ONE MINUTE! One, two, three…”

I know you care. I know you’re worried.

“…thirty, thirty-one, thirty-two…”

But right now, you just want to eat.

“Mou, Sanji! THIS IS TAKING TOO LONG!!”

And for just a moment, I am distracted by the bright rays bouncing off your lips, your huge grin, your eyes that say every new day is a brighter one no matter what, just because we’re living.

Sometimes I think that things are overwhelming.

But every second, to you, is a gift.

And I forget the world, and everything around me.

That’s what I think when I think about you.

Please comment. <3 I really like this.
