Rosinanté x reader | Dream

But thoughts are thoughts, they aren't anything but daydreams.

"She is the best lieutenant we have in headquarters,"

His eyes caught yours once more, the smile on his face stretching into a grin. Your mouth began to feel dry, cheeks burning like wildfire.

Yeah, daydreams...

"She deserves the one-up."

"Just watch the smoke rings rise in the air,

You'll find your share of memories there;"

"... What?"

You struggled to keep your eyes open, the time getting later and later as you stood on the deck of your unit's battleship. That was until a few words broke you from your slumber, pulling you back to alertness.

"I said,"

Rosinanté leaned up on the railing next to you, the smoke from his cigarette curling into the air above you.

He was calm, so calm.

You felt your heart stop, breath hitching in your throat.

He stubbed out the last of his cigarette on the bar of the railing, letting it fall to the sea below; turning to look you in the eye. He was handsome, so handsome. No one else made you feel like this, and now you knew that...

"I think I'm in love with you, (y/n)."

... he felt the same.

"So dream,

When the day is through."

"Family?"

Rosinanté held you close, pressing you against his chest. Although your home in Marineford was small and only used when you both got back from duties, it was still home.

"Yeah. What to you is family?"

You had to think about that one.

Your hands were around his neck as you lay on top of him, both still in your work clothes; too tired to change. There was no father or mother in your life, you had grown up alone not knowing who they were. No siblings and no relatives, everything was you and only you: until him.

"Why,"

Smiling, you locked eyes with the man. The both of you had been together for so long now, yet he always managed to give you that ecstatic feeling of overwhelming love. His touch and his warmth, nothing made you feel safer. His kisses and his love, no other being could make you feel this way.

"You are my family, Rosinanté."

"Dream,

And they might come true."

"Yes!"

The two of you only had a few days off and Rosinanté had taken you away. He was a busy man and you were also busy too, so this all meant the world to you. Not only that, but you cried tears as he had gotten down on one knee. He asked you to be yours and you were so in love in that moment, jumping into him as he spun you and then pulled you in.
