saltwater more BLUE than any ocean illuminated the room, distorting into bright ripples with each wave crashing against the ship’s swaying hull. they ROLLED into his mind, the cold glass pressing against the shell of his ear alike an empty conch — a familiar hum reverberating within him like those late nights in an underwater cabin, where only the OCEAN was company. such semblance undoubtedly had turned the aquarium bar into one of law’s favored spots, finding solace in its tranquility. ( deep blue and silent ) here, it was easy to drown out the rambunctious pirate beside him, their nonchalant conversation ebbing and flowing like the sea, accentuated whenever LUFFY pointed bright-eyed at a shoal of fish passing overhead, their shadows a dozen black spots dotting through the light beams.
but comfortable predictability never lasted long around the straw hat, temporary peace all too suddenly RIPPED from his grasp when an innocent question pulled the plug with an abruptness that caused his gaze to flick towards the other in surprise. ( when had he started thinking that way? ) some unnamed unease coiled within law’s ribcage, wondering if he had said too much — or if his frequent visits to a swordsman’s CROW’S NEST told their own tales. a breath was drawn, lungs expanding to loosen the tightness lacing around his thorax, and golden eyes returned to the water.
❝ — perhaps. ❞ cautious and concise, what feelings MAY have been lain bare within a single word were neither outright denied nor refused, although the truth was not at all that simple. their lives were complicated, diverging on different paths that occasionally intertwined — and TIME was slowly running out, the necessity of an alliance slipping through their fingers like sand in an hourglass. heeding such selfish desires required an amount of admittance he wasn’t ready to give ( not here, not now ) and thus, law exhaled with tentative composure. ❝ it would be EASIER if not. ❞
