Tin Lover - Ch. 17

“So, hey, how are you and Law doing? You guys seem very happy.” 

“We’re great!” Luffy answers with a beaming grin. “Happy, yeah! It feels like I’ve known him forever. Wicked, huh?”

“They always say that’s how it should feel,” Sanji comments, smiling softly at his friend. “It’s really great to see Law happy in a relationship. I’ve never known him not single, but he has a lot to give.”

“Traf’s the best. Glad he let me scoop him up.” Luffy gives Sanji a knowing look. “Is that how it felt with you and Zoro? Like forever, right?”

Suddenly, Sanji feels all too naked under his friend’s probing gaze. He scratches the back of his head with a small, awkward laugh. “I don’t know if I’d describe it that way…”

“But you’re friends again, right? You fixed things? I can tell,” Luffy comments further, swallowing the last of his churros and wiping his hands on his shirt. “Zoro’s doing better.”

“Yeah. I think he is too,” Sanji replies, glancing over to where Zoro and Law are approaching them, the former happily carrying his beloved beer flight in hand. “And I think we’re doing okay as friends.” 

“Are you happy?” Luffy asks with a smile.

Sanji’s expression softens as he makes eye contact with Zoro. As much as it hurts to be on Zoro’s periphery, he’s content to still be in his orbit. “Yeah, I think I am.”

what do you mean this didn't happen

There are endings, and there are endings.

It was snowing, I think, that last day. Snowing the way it hadn’t yet, that year. 

The thing with snow:

It wipes away everything you’ve left behind, 

Buries it, 

like a pirate burying hoarded gold. 

We lay down our half-finished hopes, the midnight musings we’d  incanted into streetlight-lit hollowness. 

Hello! we cried. We are here. We are

Here, 

Like footprints in the mud and the branches of a fallen tree jutting up from the ground, we are

Here. 

There was moonlight, stealing away our

whispers 

like the wind borrows secrets, 

like a faerie steals a child. 

-

Count down from five, love. 

The snow is falling, and the stars are bright, and

the moon is listening. 

Count down from five—

promise me you’ll remember this is not the

ending it seems to be.

—this is what it means to begin (y.c.)

just heard the most beautiful sentence at work

nimona (film that was saved by netflix after disney canned it along with closing the studio that was making it) and the boy and the heron (2d animated movie, the type that disney doesn't make anymore due to "limitations with the medium") getting animated feature noms at the oscars this year and not wish... bro that's funny
