Severing rotted roots

law and yamato help their respective partners through the decision to be rid of toxic “family”

gn reader, cw: abusive parents word count: 1.7k

You pace your room, chewing on your bottom lip. You’re not sure if you want to cry or scream, but there is a mounting urge to break something. Your eyes gloss over the area absentmindedly and shake your head. No, not worth it.

This is the last straw, you tell yourself, you won’t take it anymore. Not the disrespect, not the belittling, not the constant undermining of your dignity and autonomy. You’re done, enough of their cruel games and power plays. The only issue is breaking it to the person that’s gradually ruined your life since as far as you could remember.

Law

Your captain finds you faced down on your bed when he enters - he’d asked Bepo earlier to inquire about your whereabouts during dinner but you sent the polar bear away with incessant refusal to explain

Now, the crew was worried, and Law wasn’t going to silence or an empty stomach for an answer

He’d knock and announce that he was coming in, stubbornly seating himself in the chair you’d spent hours in working until you at least looked at him, waiting for you to answer the question hanging in the air

When that doesn’t work, he begins “lightly” jabbing you with Kikoku’s handle instead

You sit up with a disgruntled squawk, huffing at your captain’s pettiness

Law spares you a twitch of a smile, but it’s brief

“Wanna explain why you’ve been avoiding chores, meals, and cooping yourself in here all day?”

You give him an obvious look of ‘no’ but also knew that whenever your boyfriend was this adamant something, you’d have better luck drawing blood from stone than getting him to change his mind

In this case, rightfully so, since it seemed to pertain to your emotional state, you start gnawing on the tip of your nail, chipping it’s polish

“__, talk to me. I can’t help if I don’t know what’s wrong.”

He puts his hand on your thigh and you don’t pull away, but aren’t looking at his face either

You fight the sting behind your eyes and curse the way your cheeks flare up whenever you get like this, it makes you feel weak and you can’t stand it, especially not in front of them

Law’s gaze softens; he’s familiar with this emotional struggle and retracts his hand, he doesn’t leave entirely but does allow you space, you curse as you angrily wipe the moisture from your eyes, refusing to look at your captain or let him see your face

You’re grateful for such a patient partner, eventually composing yourself enough to be comfortable with letting him in - you call out his name and you have all his attention, it’s never left since the moment he entered your room - Law gets the message; he shuffles his boots to sit with you against the wall, you hesitantly seat yourself between his legs and he lets you

Though you thought you’d put a lid on them earlier, the tears start once more as you explain the situation at home to your captain, about the conditions that lead you to flee in the first place, how your parent would act on the surface to others and the wretched person they were to you alone - ice fill Law’s veins at the recollection of each horrible memory

You end it off with a strained chuckle, sniffling as you tell him that setting out to sea was the best decision you ever made because you were miserable there and besides, it eventually lead you to him, to this crew - to your real family, the fact that your parent was trying to sink their claws back into you now, to “fix” your life of piracy, is only a testament to how they never cared in the first place 

At least not for the person you really were, only the one they wanted you to be - the version of a child that never existed to begin with that only served to live in your parent’s head as an ideal to compare you to, someone you’d never be

He’s hesitant to accept this as the end to it and offers if there’s anything he or the Heart Pirates at large could to, brushing your hair aside to press a gentle kiss to your forehead, arms wrapped tightly around you You feel safe here in his arms, you’ve never been happier in fact, but now that your past rears it’s ugly head again in the form of your parent threatening to call the navy on your new family even, you think about all the unhappiness and anguish from that accursed island that lead you down this path in the first place - the path of a ‘filthy pirate’, in their words. Red flashes in your vision for a moment, thinking about how those people having the gall to refer to your real family like that, the folks who took you in and cared for you when they’d shunned you out. You lift your head from Law’s chest, taking comfort in the steady beat of your partner’s heart as you wiped the last of the tears from your eyes - right, your mind was made. “They threatened us with the navy if I didn’t comply. A threat on our crew, captain.” Law raises an eyebrow, almost as if it were a challenge to accept, you make yourself comfortable in the crook of his neck, feeling the curl of that mischievous smile against the crown of your head as your partner gives it another kiss. “Yeah? Lets torch it to the ground.”

Yamato

He knows a thing or two about tyrannical parents

Getting to that point with him, though, could be a little tricky depending on how much you want to open up

Dense as he may appear (or is) sometimes, Yamato’s got a keen eye for sniffing out your emotions, especially if you’re feeling down

Like any good boyfriend, he wants to cheer you up! He wants to make you smile that gorgeous smile of yours again

When all his usual antics don’t work, he gets worried, even more so when you start putting on a fake smile and letting others around you not to fret because everything’s fine, really

Yamato doesn’t buy it, and he’s going to hound you for the real answer until you cough it up, no matter how much you try to push him away or dodge the subject he’s still hot on your tail

It’s not until you put your foot down and proper tell him to leave you alone that he pauses for a minute and straightens up, you immediately regret raising your voice like that but your body moves of it’s own accord and before you know it you’re running in the opposite direction; Yamato doesn’t follow you this time

You feel it’s deserved

Over the next few days, you hear snickers and whispers of a ‘lover’s spat’ between Kaido’s son and his partner, some rumors even going so far as to say that you were nothing more than a fling that he lost interest in once you started disobeying the “young master’s” will

You bite your tongue and hold your head up high at every turn, you had enough to put up with once you got home, you couldn’t afford to let the opinions of some replaceable lower grunts who didn’t know any better affect your judgement

Easier said than done, though

You cross paths with Yamato again after another screaming match with your parents that leaves you emotionally, physically, drained and worse for wear

He knocks his sandal against the tree you’ve managed to climb up on and wordlessly opens his arms once he has your attention

You leap into his embrace without hesitation, apologizing over and over again for your outburst last week while the stream of tears start once more and you try your best to coherently explain the reasons you’ve been so agitated lately, how you he’s the last person you meant to hurt but being around them - your supposed “guardian”, just made you feel so helpless and miserable

Through all of this, he’s attentive and patient, he hangs on every word, smoothing out your hair, situating you snugly between his legs as he makes himself comfortable against the tree’s trunk

There’s an unreadable look on his face when you look up at him after, staring far off into the distance, hand still cradling your head to the crook of his neck - you hedge a question if he’s still mad at you and he springs back to life, denying all possibly

“What?! __, I’d never be mad at you, not for this of all things!”

He takes your hands in his and you can see the sincerity in his eyes, how desperately he wants to convey these feelings to you, you allow yourself a breath of relief and a small mirthless chuckle

Instantly Yamato relaxes upon seeing your smile again, he cups your cheek and your lips meet after what feel like an eternity apart during this brief rift between the two of you - you pray that it’s the last

For a long while, he just holds you in silence, and you let him, loved and safe in his wonderful, big strong arms

You would begin to drift if not for the rumble in his chest He starts telling you about how he spent his childhood, locked away after that fateful day 20 years ago, and how he’s been cursed by these shackles ever since; his dreams to see the world, his hopes that you’d be willing to join him, his yearning to finally leave this godforsaken island. You understand the sentiment all too well. “__, what do you want to do? You know I’ll be here for you, no matter what you choose.” His eyes are glazed over again as he speaks, but you know you have Yamato’s undivided attention, alongside his unconditional love. You push a lock of your boyfriend’s strangely colored hair behind his ear, pressing a gentle kiss to his cheek; his smile returns. “I want to confront them.” He takes your hand in his, palm callous but warm. “Okay, lets go.”

WHAT DOES YOUR HEART LOOK LIKE?

molten lava and charred flesh

Your heart burned so fiercely that it burnt itself out, leaving horrible scars in its wake; scars inside your chest and on the hands of those who touched you, the hearts of anyone who got close enough to connect to yours. The person you are now is no longer recognizable, burnt up by your own anger and passion and love. The injuries can never be fully erased, but they can be soothed with time and trust and forgiveness.

“ Eddie? hey, hey, hey, what’s the matter? are you okay? what’s wrong? oh, come here… “

@bbysttr

The very adult camping trip had been Robin's idea. A chance for the six of them to get away for a few days and pretend to be normal for a change, and not six broken young adults, all thanks to an inter-dimensional horror world that probably screwed them up forever. And fuck therapy because who had the cash for that? Not Eddie Munson. But he was grateful for the getaway, maybe more than anyone else. He hadn't been sleeping right since everything went down, eating or doing much of anything other than existing. As expected, graduating was not on the cards for him in 1986. The town pretty much loathed his existence and still believed him to be a stone cold murderer despite evidence that suggested otherwise. Then the thought of going anywhere near Hawkin's High made him throw up without fail every single time. Ultimately, the sheer stress wasn't worth it for a piece of paper meant to validate his life. Fuck that. All in all, he needed everyday life out of his head for those few days.

They laughed and joked, drank and smoked legal and illegal substances around the rather impressive campfire built by Nancy. Was there anything she couldn't do? And much to everyone's surprise, Eddie even sang for them. Fleetwood Mac, at the two ladies' request, and he couldn't refuse them after four beers, three joints, and some tequila shots taken with Jonathan and Argyle. He guessed it slipped his mind to tell his newer friends that he sang as well as played guitar. It wasn't the sort of thing that came up when fighting for your life and the planet's fate.

But once the wound down and sleep blanketed their little world away from the world camp, cold began to seep into his bones. Eddie and Steve had plenty of blankets in their two-person tent, yet Eddie couldn't keep out the chill. It awoke him in the dead of night in a freezing sweat from nightmarish flashes of gore and screeching death flying through the blood filled sky and broken corpses of familiar faces dragging their broken bodies towards him in search of unfulfilled justice. And when it became clear that Eddie couldn't give that to them, they aimed to pull him back beneath the iron-scented earth with them.

He bolted upright, breathing heavily, trembling and clawing at his arms to ground himself back into reality. It hurt like hell, but it helped; the pain reminded him that he was still alive. Next came the sniffles and the tears like clockwork. They came most nights, streaking down his face with some leftover eyeliner when he rubbed at his eyes. But when they appeared that night at the camp, something different happened.

Suddenly, Steve was there too, wide awake and with an atrocious bedhead. At any other time, Eddie would have laughed, but the fear that wrapped around him while he slept refused to leave quickly. So, instead, Steve replaced Eddie's fears with himself, pulling Eddie close to him for comfort. It was unexpected but not unwelcome in the slightest. He melted into it almost immediately and felt more at ease than he had in months, every weight lifting from his skinny shoulder. Was that really all it took? Warm arms and some sweet words to chase the dark away? Shit. Someone should have told him sooner, like years ago, maybe.

He said nothing when Steve gently pulled his hands away from harming himself, wrapped one arm around him tight, and let the other lazily stroke through his unruly long hair under the dark of night. It would be their little secret, he supposed—their night of passion for coping with trauma.

The trembling stopped after a while, leaving his whole body at ease and vulnerable to sleep to attack. Where he usually felt unfiltered terror at that idea, Eddie thought sleep might be bearable if it happened here like this. Maybe he could have a slice of peace just for one night in the embrace of a real good dude.

LET ME ASSIGN YOU A LOVE LANGUAGE. A KNIFE CALLED GRIEF.

You have left your house, you have left those people behind, but what are you going to do about the memories which have taken root in you? You can run but not without them. You want someone to sit with you on this cool marble floor while the sun burns everything. You want them to cut your rotten heart and theirs too. You want to sit with it in front of you, let them see you with all your flaws, which haven’t been your fault but you have been made to believe so, and you want them to love you anyways. Because you know you’d do that for them.

it’s eddie’s fault it’s eddie’s fault it’s eddie’s fault! there is a voice screaming in the back of his head. his own voice cries out for him to stop. there is no washing away the blood, he can still taste it on his tongue. he had asked, fangs bared, if she would taste like bubblegum. (she hadn’t.) eddie has become the monster. he laughs. later, when after sabrina comes for him, he finally listens to that little voice in the back of his head sobbing. hears the guilt bubbling like blood in its throat and the way it screams i hate what i’ve done. it should be me.

My muse is dead. Tell me how yours is dealing with it.

Darling, dearest, dead. Things had started off like any normal day, that was until she encountered Eddie. At first she sensed nothing wrong, her normal bright smile, happy to see someone she considered a friend. It was far too late when she realized that this wasn't the Eddie she knew, this wasn't her friend. What could she do? All she had was claws, not yet having learned how to shift yet. She tried to fight back but in the end, her throat had been ripped out by someone who she thought she could trust. Funny how things like this happened, wasn't it?

he  wishes  that  he  could  believe  her  .    that  her  words  could  bring  him  the  comfort  he  so  desperately  needs.   that  they  could  truly  find  their  way  through  this  together.   but  her  attempts  to  soothe  him  only  deepen  his  guilt  ,   the  storm  within  him  stirring  once  more.   “  i  can’t  ...  ”   he  whispers  ,   his  voice  so  fragile  ,   muffled  in  her  cloth  of  her  shirt  as  he  keeps  his  face  buried  into  her  shoulder.     “  i  can’t  let  go  of  it  ,  bella  .   i  ruined  everything  .   i  didn’t  mean  to  ,   but  i  still  did  ...  ”    squeezing  onto  her  ,  he  takes  a  moment  to  swallow  down  his  tears  before  continuing  ,   words  like  shattered  pieces  upon  his  tongue.    “  i  can’t  forgive  myself  for  it  even  if  it  was  a  mistake  .  ”   he  still  clings  onto  her  ,   though.   afraid  as  to  what  might  happen  if  he  lets  go.   what  he  may  actually  become  without  her  there  to  ground  him.   a  shaky  breath  is  taken  at  her  following  words  ,   his  heart  pounding  and  breaking  all  at  once.   he  knows  it’s  the  same  for  him  too   ;   that  she’s  all  he  has  now.   but  it  still  doesn’t  feel  right  to  keep  her  here  ,   to  subject  her  to  all  of  his.   pulling  away  slightly  ,   he  frowns.    “  you  can  make  another  home  ...  ”   he  murmurs  ,   eyes  practically  pleading  as  they  finally  lift  to  hers.     “  with  your  sister  ,  bella  .   she’s  still  out  there  somewhere  .   missing  you  just  as  much  as  i’m  sure  you  do  her  .    you  won’t  ever  find  her  if  you  stay  here  .  ”
