Chapter Text
The humid air of Roanapur was thick with the sounds of the bustling city. The members of the Lagoon Company were seated around their usual table in the Yellow Flag, drinking and laughing as usual. However, something was different tonight. Rock and Revy were sitting closer to each other than usual, their eyes locked in an intense stare that seemed to speak volumes. The rest of the crew was quick to notice the tension between the two, and Benny and Dutch exchanged knowing glances.
"I'm heading out for a smoke," Revy growled, breaking the silence that had fallen over the table.
Rock didn't hesitate. "I'll join you."
The two made their way outside, and as soon as they were out of earshot, Revy lit up a cigarette and took a long drag. Rock watched her intently, his mind racing with thoughts he couldn't seem to put into words.
"What's on your mind, Rock?" Revy asked, finally breaking the silence.
"I don't know," Rock said, shaking his head. "I just feel like there's something between us, something that's been building for a while now."
Revy raised an eyebrow. "And what if there is?"
"I don't know," Rock repeated, his voice barely above a whisper. "I just know that I can't stop thinking about you, Revy. I can't stop wanting you."
Revy's eyes widened in surprise, but before she could say anything, they were interrupted by the sound of a gunshot.
"Shit, we gotta move!" Revy yelled, grabbing Rock by the arm and pulling him towards the car.
As they sped off into the night, Rock couldn't help but wonder if this was a sign that they were meant to be together, or if their feelings would ultimately lead to their downfall.
