“I pray the day arrives when you’ll never roam again.” (Akane to Rosa <3)

         KIND  WORDS  SPOKEN  FROM  HER  SISTER,  tug  upon  Rosa’s  heartstrings  —  it  seems  even  after  spending  some  time  apart,  being  reunited  now,  Akane  can  still  read  through  her.  

         Externally  she  has  been  getting  by  alright,  sailing  from  one  island  to  another  as  her  mellifluous  voice  fills  every  sea  with  its  beautiful  melodies,  yet  no  spotlight  nor  applause  can  ever  replace  the  cheers  of  her  family’s  laughter  nor  fill  the  gaping  loneliness  of  losing  them.  

         She  fights  to  manage  a  smile  for  her  sister’s  sake,  to  keep  up  the  strong  façade  she  has  managed  to  build  up  so  well  during  her  time  sailing  alone,  still  a  well  of  tears  blurs  a  vision  of  indigo  as  she  reaches  for  Akane’s  hand,  and  squeezes  it  lightly  as  though  offering  comfort  and  reassurance  —  or  perhaps,  she  has  been  seeking  such  herself. 

         ❝Maybe  one  day..  I  won’t  have  to  anymore..  maybe,  we  can  all  set  sail  together  again❞  she  speaks  her  wishes  in  a  soft  whisper,  fearful  if  she  were  to  utter  it  any  louder,  the  universe  will  take  even  that  away  from  her,  and  it  is  all  she  has  left  —  nothing  but  a  far  away  pipe  dream  she  understands  very  well  will  never  come  true.  Sailing  under  one  flag,  upon  one  home  —  she  clings  desperately  to  that  dream  to  keep  her  going.  

         ❝I  know  it’s  silly..❞

[ nightmare ] for your muse to wake mine from a nightmare

         NIGHT  TERRORS  WERE  NOTHING  NEW  to  the  hummingbird,  rather  an  unwelcome  guest  which  frequented  her  every  now  and  then,  becoming  much  more  scarce  the  more  time  she  spent  with  her  new  family.  Among  the  Whitebeard  Pirates  she  felt  safe,  so  much  that  it  seemed  all  her  fears  of  the  past  had  been  but  a  far  distant  memory.  

         Such  had  been  the  case  for  a  good  few  years,  but  rainbows  and  sunshine  couldn’t  last  forever  and  eventually  the  storms  had  to  rage  again.  

         With  their  recent  tragedy,  her  old  guest  would  visit  again  and  so  much  more  frequently  than  ever  before  —  now  every  night  since  the  loss  of  her  loved  ones,  she  would  toss  and  turn,  crying  and  screaming  in  bed  for  the  ones  she  could  never  have  back.  

         She  avoids  sleep  in  an  attempt  to  keep  it  at  bay  but  eventually  exhaustion  wins  over  and  it  plays  again  on  repeat  in  her  head:  the  vision  of  her  commander  falling  before  her  very  own  eyes,  her  father’s  disfigured  face,  haunting  her  worst  nightmares.

         ❝No,  no,  no,  stop!!  Don’t  hurt  them  —  stop!❞  her  thoughts  are  interrupted  with  a  gentle  awakening  —  a  helping  hand  reaching  for  her  and  drawing  her  away  from  her  land  of  terror  and  darkness,  back  to  reality.  

         Indigo  flutters  awake,  greeted  by  the  warm  sight  of  her  sister’s  comforting  presence,  prompting  panic  shuddering  to  slowly  ease  into  a  defeated  slump.  

         She  doesn’t  need  to  ask  Akane  to  realize  what  had  been  going  on  —  after  all,  this  had  happened  many  times  before  since  the  war,  but  Rosa  had  come  a  long  way  since  she  couldn’t  so  much  as  utter  a  word  —  at  least  now  she  manages  to  speak  to  the  sister  by  her  side  when  she  finds  her  there.  

         ❝Sorry...  did  I  —  did  I  wake  you?❞  she  asks  slowly,  gaze  dropping  apologetically  and  digits  clutching  her  own  blanket.  ❝I  tried  not  to  sleep...  but  I  just  —  Sorry...❞

@everdaring​  "What is it like? The surface?" the mermaid questions curiously. "It's brighter out there, isn't it? Must be warm, too, so close to the sun~" (/ at rosa or marco 💕 )

         THERE’S  A  THOUGHTFUL  HUM  and  a  slight  head  tilt  as  the  young  musician  wondered  just  how  can  she  describe  the  surface  to  someone  who  has  never  seen  it;  being  a  lyricist  she  wanted  to  find  the  perfect  words,  just  the  right  description  to  carry  the  mermaid  up  there.  

         ❝Close  your  eyes~❞  she  instructs  softly.  ❝Can  you  picture  a  light  breeze?  A  small  gust  of  wind  just  rushing  through  your  hair?❞  while  some  areas  of  the  sea  she  noticed  do  have  light,  it  is  the  absence  of  wind  which  struck  the  young  logia  user  made  of  wind  herself  the  most.  ❝It’s  like  a  soft  tingling  feeling,  kind  of  like  a  wave..  but  without  water❞  she  giggles  sheepishly  trying  to  explain  to  the  best  of  her  ability.  ❝During  the  colder  seasons  it  can  send  a  shiver  through  your  body  but  in  the  spring  or  summer,  a  nice  warm  breeze  is  just  perfect  for  a  picnic.❞

         The  more  she  speaks  about  the  world  she  is  used  to,  the  more  she  grows  excited,  Rosa  often  finding  beauty  even  in  the  mundane  of  daily  life.  ❝Up  there,  you  can  see  so  many  different  birds!❞  of  course,  another  thing  the  songbird  herself  can’t  help  but  note,  is  the  absence  of  her  favorite  little  friends.  ❝You  can  hear  them  chirping,  singing  their  sweet  lullabies  in  the  early  mornings~❞

❛❛ Rosa, huh? And just what makes you think you have what it takes to become a pirate? I'll tell you right now, it's a big world out there-- filled with all sorts of unpredictable dangers! ❜❜ his tone is not at all patronizing, rather purposely testing the doe-eyed petite of her admirable adamancy to sail alongside their much feared, notorious pirate crew.

         HE  COULDN’T  HAVE  BEEN  much  older  than  the  petite  musician,  yet  already  the  man  before  her  is  an  infamous  pirate  with  a  name  for  himself  —  needless  to  say,  Rosa  admired  and  also  felt  slightly  envious  of  the  young  man.

         However,  his  query  is  one  catching  her  off  guard  as  never  before  has  anyone  taken  interest  in  her  reasons  —  they  all  had  their  minds  already  made  up  that  she  didn’t  have  what  it  takes  before  even  giving  her  a  chance.

         ❝I  —  I  just..  ❞  embarrassed  and  also  shy,  she  naturally  stutters  on  her  words  when  put  on  the  spot  like  this,  wide  eyed  indigo  full  of  desperation;  but  nothing  he  can  say  about  the  big  dangerous  world  out  there  is  anything  she  hasn’t  been  told  countless  times  prior.

         She  wonders  if  she  truly  does  have  what  it  takes  to  become  a  pirate;  insecurity  and  doubt  begin  clawing  their  way  to  her  already  vulnerable  heart,  yet  finally  determination  gleams  and  she  stands  her  ground.

         ❝I  don’t  want  to  be  alone  anymore!❞  she  declares  her  truth.  ❝Loneliness  is  the  worst  feeling  in  the  world  —  I  may  not  be  strong  or  big,  but  to  never  feel  this  way  again,  I  can  do  whatever  it  takes;  I  will  not  stop  fighting  ——  even  if  it  kills  me!!❞

@xamassed​ "How, uh — you got — your lips are kind'a, uh..." Between her awkward stammering and backtracking, Anita pointed towards Rosa's lips. "They're shiny! How do you get 'em like that? I want mine like that." A little, self-conscious pout. Please, don't laugh. Please, don't laugh.

         Her  lips?  Does  she  have  something  on  them?  The  initial  wording  has  the  shy  little  bird  feeling  quite  self  conscious  and  reflexively  a  single  digit  lifts  to  touch  of  her  own  lips  intending  to  wipe  whatever  it  is  that  is  there.

         That  is,  until  her  friend  clarifies  what  it  is  exactly  Rosa  has  on  her  lips  that  prompted  this.  ❝Oh..❞  is  the  first  reply,  realization  sinking  in,  then  there’s  a  soft  shy  smile  —  happy  Anita  wants  hers  to  look  the  same  too.  

         ❝It’s  just  my  lip  gloss  —❞  and  without  further  ado,  the  musician  searches  her  purse  for  said  item  to  showcase  to  her  friend,  all  too  eager  to  share  this  information.

         ❝Does  Annie  want  to  try  it  too?  I  am  sure  it  will  suit  you!!❞  although,  Rosa  doesn’t  feel  this  is  enough  and  she  wants  to  help,  especially  when  Anita  trusted  her  with  this  —  so  she’s  quick  to  offer  ❝You  can  have  this  one!!  I  have  others  on  the  ship  —  It  tastes  like  strawberry❞  a  giggle,  at  the  latter  addition.

@muselexum​ ; Luffy's head tilted to the side, arms crossed and face scrunched as his brain worked on overdrive to try and place where he recognized the girl from. "Oh!" He smacked his fist into his palm at the eureka moment, "Sola!" She had been at the war! She was Ace's friend-person right?

         THEIR  FIRST  MEETING  was  not  under  the  most  favorable  circumstances,  hence,  naturally,  Rosa  felt  excited  to  finally  have  the  chance  to  properly  meet  Ace’s  little  brother  —  as  even  if  he  weren’t  related  to  her  former  commander,  much  like  the  remainder  of  the  Whitebeard  Pirates,  she  too  saw  the  potential  in  him  and  developed  a  fondness  and  urge  to  protect  the  strawhat.  

         He  wears  a  determined  expression  and  she  wonders  just  what  exactly  is  he  thinking  but  then  he  speaks  a  strange  word  prompting  perplex  upon  her  soft  features.  ❝Sola?❞  she  echoes  the  word,  taking  a  moment  before  realization  sinks  in.

         ❝It’s  Rosa  —  my  name’s  Rosa~❞  she  corrects  him  with  a  light  giggle.  Truth  is,  she  didn’t  expect  him  to  even  remember  her,  considering  the  more  pressing  matters  at  the  time;  this  was  something  at  least.  ❝RO-SA❞  she  repeats,  slowly  pronouncing  it  for  him.

@sunbcrned​​ For once, he awakes at the break of dawn to the sound of a chirping bird - his own hummingbird, that is. A gentle, melodic hum luring the youthful flame out of bed and towards the source until he had securely scooped her up inside his arms. Warm silver adore the early bird, his tired smile brushing lightly upon an ivory cheek before joining her in the view of a rising sun and a flock of birds soaring in the horizon " I wonder what their rush is so early in the morning.. " he muses jokingly

         UNCHARACTERISTIC  OF  HER  LOVE  to  awaken  so  early  at  the  break  of  dawn  but  his  songbird  is  a  little  too  happy  inside  the  nest  that  is  her  firefly’s  warm  embrace  to  truly  question  why  he  is  up  so  early,  rather  she  melts  inside  his  hold,  cheeks  so  naturally  rosy  whenever  in  his  presence  and  an  unwavering  smile  to  match.  

         Bizarre,  but  she  can  almost  swear  the  rising  sun  looks  more  beautiful  today  and  even  the  birds  singing  seem  chirpier  —  as  though  the  whole  universe  rejoices  when  he’s  around,  or  is  that  just  her  own  imagination?  Still, the  thought  prompts  her  smaller  arms  to  encircle  his  torso,  lovingly,  while  the  gaze  of  bright  indigo  is  captive  in  his  own  warm  silvers.  

         ❝Maybe  they’re  in  a  rush  to  see  their  love  —  they  don’t  want  to  waste  a  single  moment  apart❞  or  maybe  that  is  her  own  feelings  she  projects  onto  the  clueless  birds.

         His  statement  now  is  sweet  to  her  ears,  reassuring  to  the  shy  little  bird  in  his  arms  —  but  it  is  within  these  very  same  arms  she  has  always  felt  safest,  hence  while  too  flustered  to  voice  an  answer,  her  response  is  spoken  through  the  way  small  arms  cling  to  his  body  warmth,  desperately.  

         ❝Ace..  I  —❞  she  begins,  cheeks  flushed  a  color  similar  to  the  red  flames  he  often  conjured  to  keep  her  warm.  ❝I  lost  you  once..❞  she  finally  manages,  softly,  hesitantly,  the  mere  thought  summoning  a  saddened  expression  upon  her  rosy  features  and  prompting  a  tremble  in  the  very  hands  clinging  to  him.  

         Despite  her  own  fears  however,  for  him,  she  finds  the  strength  to  look  up,  an  indigo  pair  meeting  silver  with  utter  love  and  devotion  as  she  proclaims.  ❝This  time..  I  don’t  want  to  hold  back..  I  don’t  want  to  have  any  regrets..

         —  this  time,  I  will  show  you,  I’m  yours..❞

“ are you okay with me kissing you? ” ( acero )

         THE  SONGBIRD  DOES  NOT  ANTICIPATE  the  query  so  honest  and  direct  from  her  lover’s  lips,  certainly  not  when  just  a  mere  short  while  ago  she  didn’t  believe  he  can  ever  harbor  any  love  whatsoever  in  his  heart  for  her,  so  to  hear  him  express  now  his  desire  to  kiss  her,  while  completely  new  was  definitely  not  unwelcome  in  the  slightest.  

         The  question  startles  his  shy  little  lady,  prompting  a  vivid  blush  to  her  already  rosy  cheeks  and  she  tugs  on  her  own  skirt  and  bites  her  bottom  lip  nervously,  albeit  there’s  a  hint  of  a  smile  slipping  too.  Every  day  since  she  has  learned  the  truth  of  his  feelings,  Rosa  is  also  beginning  to  realize  just  how  careful  he  truly  is  with  her,  it’s  a  sign  of  just  how  deep  his  love  has  been  all  along,  isn’t  it?  —  yet  maybe  a  part  of  her  seeks  to  greedily  eliminate  some  of  that  carefulness  too,  if  only  to  be  utterly  and  completely  consumed  by  his  love.  

         Perhaps,  she  has  not  made  her  feelings  clear  enough  when  she  initiated  their  very  first  kiss  the  day  she  confessed  her  love  for  him  on  his  own  birthday.  

         Her  hands  let  go  of  her  own  skirt  to  tug  on  his  hands  instead  and  she  steps  closer,  indigo  eyes  finally  looking  up  to  meet  her  favorite  pair  of  silver,  despite  all  shyness  and  how  flushed  her  features  are,  her  expression  is  one  of  certainty  before  she  closes  her  eyes  altogether,  awaiting  the  kiss  he  has  promised.  

         ❝Mhm~❞  she  hums  softly,  following  it  with  a  whispered  request  for  his  ears  only.  ❝Kiss  me,  Ace...❞

“What are these tears upon your face?” { For Rosa! c: }

         ANOTHER  VOICE  startles  the  songbird  out  of  her  daze,  indigo  hues  blinking  rapidly  and  the  touch  of  her  soft  digits  embarrassed  quick  to  wipe  at  the  remnant  of  tears  staining  rosy  cheeks.  Rosa  shakes  her  head  and  manages  the  best  smile  she  can  muster;  it’s  true  she  can  be  quite  sensitive  but  Rosa  is  also  shy  and  dislikes  the  idea  of  burdening  anyone  with  her  emotions.  

         She’s  learnt  at  a  young  age  to  put  on  a  smile,  the  best  smile  she  can  muster,  even  when  sad;  still  her  tears  betray  her  any  time  memories  of  loved  ones  dare  surface.  She  thinks  of  them  often  and  sees  them  everywhere  she  goes,  the  loved  ones  she  has  lost  as  well  as  the  family  she  has  been  separated  from,  albeit  clings  to  the  hope  they  are  still  alive  somewhere  out  there.  

         This  time,  it  is  witnessing  Lamy  with  her  own  older  brother  and  the  rest  of  their  crew  which  triggers  these  memories  —  while  it  may  seem  like  it,  her  tears  this  time  are  not  of  sadness,  perhaps  a  little  nostalgia  and  longing,  but  she’s  also  happy,  and  it’s  evident  in  the  small  chuckle  escaping.  

         ❝I  am  okay,  truly..❞  she  attempts.  ❝It’s  just..  been  a  while  since  I’ve  been  surrounded  by  such  a  lively  atmosphere..  seeing  you  with  your  brother,  it  took  me  back  to  my  years  as  a  pirate  too  —  it’s  nice..❞
