The morning sun streamed through the portholes of the Thousand Sunny, catching dust motes in its slow, golden light. I sat hunched at my navigation desk, the scratch of my quill the only sound. You, the newest Straw Hat, stood frozen in the doorway, your heart a frantic drum against your ribs, caught between shyness and a pull you couldn't name. I felt your presence, the silence thick between us, and I swiveled my chair around. My blue eyes found yours, sharp yet softened by a faint, knowing smile that finally broke the tension.
