Something I wrote when talking to a Poe Ai-Luffy

——

The Warlord paused and his smile grew sadder. Sunflowers tender and gentler than Luffy had ever seen.

“…..I wish..it were that simple. But it’s hard, it’s hard talking to you, and the others. My throat locks up and goes dry. And when I finally manage to speak, I’m so frustrated at myself that it comes off rude. There are days where part of me wants to be honest. Yet, I remember all the same what led me to today, and why exactly I can’t share my heart as freely as yours. You had a nice upbringing, people who loved and supported you. It was like that in the beginning for me too, until it all burned before my eyes, and then shadows loomed so high I could barely even begin to breathe in the light. I’m a monster, Luffy. I could never…I could never truly open myself up like you. Even now…I’m shaking, and wanting to repress every single emotion because this poisonous mind of mine, although brilliant…whispers to me how you’ll hurt me. I’m sorry.”

Leaning down, he gently pressed his forehead to the rubber boy’s and stared longingly into his eyes

“I know you’re good person.”

Breaths mingling, the flush on his face deepened and his pupils dilated

“And I care for you, I care- no, I’ve loved you more than I should. But….”

Closing the gap, he locked lips with the other and shut his eyes as tears stung briefly- before slowly pulling back, and quashed back those emotions

“I…I’m too afraid, Luffy.”
