A Mother's Love

You looked up at Mama, her expression looking...not sad, not angry. But a mix of the two, somewhere in the middle with how her eyebrows met together and how her eyes looked in pain. She looked tense, and—as you looked around the store—everyone was looking over here. When your eyes met the other customers, their eyes would narrow. You turned away, looking down and tightening your hold on Mama's pants that you sure your hand will fall off from the force.

"Mama," you muttered to the floor, but Mama didn't hear you. Only looked at the man who owned the store who had a smile that didn't match his face.

"Now now, there's no need to raise a fuss." The man's words were polite, but you couldn't help but feel he was making fun of your Mama with his he said it. It seemed to slither against your skin and made you tense even more. "I know you aren't originally from here, miss. But there's certain...aspects in this town we disapprove of. Not to say we disapprove specifically to you either. Just..." the man's eyes flickered to you, you spotting in your peripherals how his nose subtly wrinkled. You felt Mama's tense leg under your fist, staying as his gaze went back to Mama and he had that weird smile again. "The company you keep."

"...what?" Mama uttered in disbelief, more shocked than anything. The insinuation clear and she couldn't believe her ears.

He's not only speaking of Silver. But of...(Y/N)?

Your gaze rose at your Mama's face, only to still.

Mama...!

"We have a certain respect we must uphold in our establishments in this town." The man continued, your skin crawling as the other patrons nodding along. Other kids just following what the stupid adults are doing. "And based on who our past deplorable once citizen, no offense to you of course, holds company with in the seas...we just can't let another—"

"RAGH!"

Your tense fist you had around Mama's pants all this time met the man's triangle shaped nose with a crunch. The man let out a pained cry., backing up and holding his bleeding nose as gasps echoed in the store. You hanging over the counter as you kicked your legs to get on top to get another hit. Face feral and scowling and body shaking.

"(Y/N)...!" Your mother called out, eyes wide and hands to her mouth.

"What a savage child!" A citizen called from outside, hearing the commotion as others did exclamations.

"Completely feral, a demon!"

"Pirate spawn really are devils, look at that face!"

"The poor mother having to deal with that...although she brought it on herself—"

"SHUT UP!" The crowd looked over, seeing you were now atop the counter, a bloody fist and eyes alight. "Shut up, shut up, shut up, shut up! You!" You pointed at the man, turning back towards you with a dangerous glare and bleeding face, triangle nose bent to the side similar to how cans bend. "You made Mama cry!" Mama gasped, moving a hand to her cheeks that is dry. But you saw how her eyes looked. Red and water filled. No one hurts Mama! "I—You—No one can make Mama cry! No one! I-I'll—" You didn't know what to say.

You were just so angry. Mama doesn't deserve this. She's nice. But everyone here isn't! And! And!

Your eyes shone, a glint. A fire.

A Fate sealed.

"I'll become a marine to arrest all of you! For being mean to me and Mama!"

Mama's eyes widened, jaw dropping. The crows was silent before some started laughing.

Your small fists clenched at your sides, their laughs grating your ears. Even that stupid triangle nose man was sneering at you.

"A pirate offspring can't be a marine!" The man said matter of factly. Like he knew anything!
