"No, please don't it!" "(Y/n)!" "No!" "(Y/n)!" The girl suddenly woke up sweaty, breathless. "Calm down (Y/n), please." Haruta caressed her back with sweetness. (Y/n) began to cry. "I dreamed of them once again, my brother being tortured and my sister dying in front of me." She said sobbing. "Don't worry (Y/n), you're here with me now. Safe. Do you think you can go back to sleep?" "Haruta... Would you like to stay here with me?" The boy stiffened in the face of the girl's sudden request. "It's okay, Harura, it'll be for..." He gave her a kiss on the forehead. "No. I'm staying. If it makes you feel better, I'll stay." (Y/n) smiled and huddled up in his arms. "Thank you very much."

Haruta was the first to wake up the next day. He smiled seeing (y/n) sleeping quietly in his arms, he was happy to have managed to calm her down. "Good morning, my love." He whispered to the girl as soon as she woke up. Haruta kissed her. "Come on, let's get out of here before someone starts to think wrong." The girl blushed. "I'm sorry, maybe I shouldn't have asked you to stay." The twelfth commander took her hand. "Don't worry, baby. By now I think they know we're together!"

But as soon as they left her room they immediately found someone ready to bother them. "So, Haruta, did you manage to console my sweet little cousin?" "Ace, please don't do it." whispered (Y/n). Ace smiled. Haruta still felt uncomfortable, although he knew Ace since he joined the crew of Whitebeard, since (Y/ n) had entered in his heart he was embarrassed every time he was with the other, knowing that the girl was his cousin didn't make things easier. In fact, it was mainly thanks to Ace that he had been lucky enough to meet (Y/n).

(Y/n) had lived her childhood with Ace, Rufy and Sabo, at least while her parents were still alive, but she wasn't a normal child, she had something special. If there was anything special that could be talked about in her case. Since she was a child she had been able to master the haki. This was one of the several reasons why Garp wanted (Y/n) to enter the navy, but also in this case he had seen his dream fade away. Not even (Y/n) decided to enter the navy, but this was because other events had shaken her life. A pirate crew had heard rumours about her power and tried to kidnap her. It was on this occasion that all the members of her family were killed, first her parents and sister, and finally her tortured brother. By that time she had been forced to live and serve those pirates. From that day on, her life had been just hell. Until one day she was freed from the pirates of Whitebeard, Ace and Haruta in particular took care of her.

And that's how the two of them met. Haruta felt attracted to her right from the start, but her difficult past and her childhood with Ace had somehow stopped him from looking for something more with her. Then the right opportunity had finally arrived and the two had begun to get to know each other better and, slowly, they had ended up falling in love, but both had taken things very slowly. It was the first time they had slept together. "We should do it more often." Proposed Haruta. "What?" Asked the girl. "Sleep together, what do you think?" (Y/n) blushed, "Yes, I haven't slept so well in a long time, I'd forgotten what it was like." "I love you, (Y/n)." "I love you too."
