Action / December 20th / Late

[toujoursfluer]

[The touch is gentle. Warm. And even though she's being petted in a way, it doesn't feel like that. She relaxes a little, watching Marco's face, thinking of an answer even as she muses on how strange it is that his ideal life matches so closely the one he has. The perks of being a pirate. She makes a humming noise and absently reaches up to play with a strand of his hair.]

When I was little, I used to think that my ideal life would be to have a happy family. Then to have a crew.

[The one that Saul had promised. As well as trust. Safety. The ability to sleep through the night and know she would still be with those people the next day. The ability to search for the poneglyph free of fear. To understand the whole world no matter what they tried to hide]

But now, I have all that I ever wanted. [Though by now, she means in the real world. The real life. Not this half nightmare place where everyone is being pulled apart]

[He grins softly at that.]

It makes sense, eh? That was my father's dream. And Ace's really. Seems my favorite people had the same goal for an ideal life.

I guess I...

[He frowns. Things he can't have, can't do, and he doesn't want to say. He shakes his head and grins again.] Mah, it's foolish, eh? I do like my life. Wouldn't change it for anything. Well, except for the Blackbeard thing.

[He's pulling away from it. She has the feeling that there is something he doesn't want to say for whatever reason but--she won't drag it out. If he tells her, he will. Still...]

It's not foolish.

[she leans down and kisses him lightly, then a little deeper]

You're an idiot but you can never be foolish, Marcchan.

Or perhaps I am always foolish, but rarely an idiot.

[But he's quite put at ease from the kisses and leans up to gently nuzzle their noses together.]

I cannot imagine a normal life, I wouldn't know what that's like, eh? I don't think I had enough normal people around to observe, perhaps. But family, that I get.

[Small sigh and he closes his eyes again. He'd offer her his family, so she would never have to be alone again, just like Pops, and Ace, but she has her own family and he doesn't want to steal her from that.] I still wouldn't mind an alternate life though, eh? Something with different worries. [Flops on his back on the bed to look at the ceiling. How can he worry about the islands and how he can't protect them at a time like this? He wishes he was stronger, but what does that mean? More loving like his father? More ferocious? Braver like Ace? He's not sure anymore.]

You know I could never beat my old man at chess? He's a genius at it, eh. He was a battle genius in general. One of the two smartest people I've ever met.

[Big shoes to fill, but Whitebeard would just tell Marco to go his own way. And Marco didn't wear shoes, they would fall while flying anyway.]
