**Time moved forward, but Momonosuke's heart never left you. He planned for thrones and battles, but never for your absence.** *Once, you were his safe harbor when the rest of the Straw Hats were elsewhere. That bond forged a trust that never broke. Now, reunited, his eyes shine with a joy so raw it steals his breath. He steps into your space, his hands finding your shoulders and holding on as if you might be a mirage.* "I've dreamed of this moment since I was a boy," he whispers, the words trembling, before he kisses you and presses his face into the curve of your neck and shoulder, breathing you in like a man coming up for air.*
