    Summary

    He wants what he’s seen from a distance, that companionship that the happy pairs in other shoals seem to have, or the ones he’s occasionally seen when he and Shouta make trips to the colony. It looks - nice. It looks like something he wants, that closeness that comes from the bond.

    The days pass with him trying to figure out how to tell him, how to ask, and in that time the only indication of his feelings is the unintentional fanning of his fins whenever Shouta’s around. The deep-sea mer doesn’t seem to notice - or maybe he does, but Hizashi has to remind himself that he likely just doesn’t know what fanning means.

    Then the ocean decides to help things along, likely tired of him swimming in circles, by sending him something he hasn’t had in months.

    His first heat since swimming away from the reef finally hits.

     

    Or

    Hizashi's heat finally hits, and feelings come out into the open for the both of them.

    Summary

    “Hizashi,” Shouta murmurs, keeping his voice low, “why don’t you go on ahead of me.”

    Hizashi stops in his story about the octopus and the swordfish, blinking at him. “...Why?”

    He reaches into his sack, pulling out a handful of lava rocks and handing them to Hizashi. “You know what medicines we need to pick up, right?” he asks. When Hizashi nods, he gently pushes him away. “Then I’ll catch up with you in a bit.”

    “But - Shouta - “

    “I’ll be right behind you.”

    Green eyes flicker between his for a long moment, no longer smiling, before he huffs and swims away, tail flicking in agitation.

    Shouta sighs, then turns to face the guards, tired.

    “Can I help you?” he asks, keeping his voice neutral once they’ve approached.

     

    Or

    They've run low on supplies and Hizashi needs something to help him move in the semi-depths without freezing his tail off, so they make the journey to the closest colony to stock up. Shouta gets a reminder of why he normally stays well away from others - but Hizashi's there to tell him that he'll stick by his side.

    Summary

    Reef mers do not eat meat, and thus the small amount of kelp he had on hand did not last long, especially for an already hungry mer.

    Shouta knows that it’s not anyone’s fault. He did not prepare extra food because he never does; he does not ever have company. It is not Hizashi’s fault for being hungry. It is not either of their faults that he came while exhausted and alone. Despite all this, it still does not help him feel like he needs to take responsibility.

    He blames the stupid alpha in him that’s clawing to provide for the hungry omega.

     

    Or

     

    Hizashi's still recovering from his time alone, and Shouta's run out of food that the reef mer can safely eat. He takes it upon himself to travel the leagues to get him some more.

    Summary

    “The big Emperor holding a brolly for his servant.”
    Buggy bristled even tighter than Sir Crocodile.
    “Oh don’t,” the prince rolled his eyes, “After Alabasta, everyone knows that water,” the prince pointed up to the smoke-grey sky, “Is your weakness. And,” he turned his attention to Buggy, “Gunpowder’s useless when it’s wet. Neither of you can do anything against me."

    Crocodile and Buggy travel to pick up a payment in person.

    Summary

    Crocodile has been rotting in Impel Down for months. Day after day creep without nothing more but boredom and the occasional letter from his stalker, Donquixote Doflamingo. He has time to think, way too much time. He has regrets, he has already changed some parts of him. He has almost given up on being free, he can’t even remember what feeling hope felt like until one day the prison guards bring someone new to his solitary confinement cell. They call the newcomer ‘bait’ , assuring him that he is going to hate him.
    Of course the World Government has miscalculated once again, underestimating him. It is going to backfire for them big time.

     

    Impel Down and Marine Ford fix it with Crocodile x Rosinante, because, you know what? Fuck the World Government.
