Prompt: 5 Reuniting after a fight
Blades and Bullets are flying in the air while you scurry through the fighting trying to reach the deck of the Victoria Punk searching for your lovers.
You’re scared, the Kid pirates are infamous for being violent and merciless but a fight against Shanks, Captain of the Red haired pirates is too much even for your lover Kid.
The fight is the most terrifying thing you have ever witnessed, the deck of the ship is covered in blood, people are fighting, cannons are booming and screams of pain can be heard coming from every direction.
A sudden explosion launches you forward against a mast, you swallow hard, ear ringing, a part of the stern has just been blown off by Shanks’s cannons.
You cry out ‘KID! KID WHERE ARE YOU?’ but your screams seem to be swallowed by the noise.
You feel someone behind you, and just as you draw your guns, a strong hand reaches for your arm.
jolting from the sudden movement you point the gun to the man’s face, who stares at you from under the mask on his face ‘Be quiet, Kid needs help, he fucked up big this time, we might-’ he sighs looking around ‘-not make it out this time’.
you frown, he’s right and you know it, but hearing Killer talk like that makes every attempt to fight back the Yonko’s crew seem futile.
‘We’re not going down Killer, not today’ you say firmly looking up at him ‘Now, where’s Kid?’
Another explosion on the bow of the ship answers your question, you and Killer run as fast as you can up the stairs to the bow trying not to get killed by the red haired pirates just to be caught in the middle of the fight between Shanks and Kid.
The Red haired seems unfazed, not breaking a sweat while Kid looks bloody and exhausted.
He barely avoids a blow from Shanks but ends on the far end of the bow, away from you two, he glances at you, he looks almost… Sad
Then he launches himself forward screaming, his arms covered with giant gauntlets while metal objects of any kind fly from every direction to hit Shanks.
You scream and run to your lover just to be followed by Killer, you three fight side by side against the red haired, you struggle, but don’t give up nonetheless.
That is until Shanks stops playing around, then his blows get harder and harder to avoid, his hits heavier, his haki more intense.
After trying to get a shot at Shanks and missing, you duck behind a mast, reloading.
‘Killer and Kid won’t last much longer’ you think to yourself, then, you turn to get a good view on the Red haired pirate, aim, and shoot.
He avoids your bullets as if they’re going in slow motion, he barely moves, then lunges forward, hitting Kids gauntlet and smashing it in pieces.
You try to sneak near him again, thinking he won’t see you but just as you’re a few feet away, aiming, you feel his eyes on you, suddenly he’s onto you.
His haki keeps you still, frozen in fear, you barely see his blade move before an excruciating pain spreads from your chest.
You fall on the hard wooden floor, limp, view foggy and barely breathing.
You feel yourself getting weaker with every second, your heart thumps echo in your head slower and slower each time. You try to speak, ask for help, but something keeps you still like a corpse.
Your eyes close, and you fall in a black void, voices, noises and feeling all mix in a big puddle of nothingness. You’re unable to move, stuck in the darkness, you try to scream but no sound escapes your mouth.
Your memories of the fight are messy and unclear, you can still hear the shouts of your crewmates ringing in your ears, the sound of Shanks’s sword cutting the hair, the metal clanging and the feeling of blood covering your body but, what happened? How did the battle end?
So many questions fog your brain and every thought is plagued by death, you saw your crewmate fall, how many of them are gone?
Suddenly, two voices reach the back of your mind, both agitated. Kid and Killer are urging you to wake up, shaking you to your core. Still unable to move, you try to answer their call, make them know you can hear their voices.
Suddenly your eyes are wide open and you’re blinded by the light, you look around not recognizing where you are. Everything aches, and your head is still spinning, you don’t know where you are, this isn’t in the infirmary of the Victoria Punk but the room still looks like a hospital.
As you try to stand up a stabbing pain in your chest almost causes you to fall over, so groaning in agony you sit again.
You don’t even notice the figure that enters the room from the door beside you.
'I-I see you w-woke up m-miss y/n' You quickly turn towards the short man 'Who are you? Where am I? Where are my crewmates?' You ask impatiently 'W-well m-miss I’m Dr Ronan, you’re in my ambulatory a-and y-your crewmates are waiting for you out-s-side' he said while visibly shaking 'Well then could y-' Your question gets cut in half by the door being violently pushed open.
'Oi Doc, ya staying in here too much for my liking, what’s the matter?' Your eyes widen at the sight of Kid entering with Killer right behind him.
The excruciating pain in your chest seems to disappear as you push yourself out of the hospital bed, almost falling down when your feet touch the ground, throwing your arms around their necks.
Your eyes are watery and your voice weak, almost wobbly 'Oh my god, you’re fine, you’re fine' you keep repeating while entangling your hands in their hair.
The men are speechless, unmoving for a second then they slowly bend down to hug you back.
Now you’re all out crying, happy to see your boyfriends still alive, but something feels slightly off. As you part from your partners’s embrace you take a good look at them, although Killer is pretty roughed up, covered in bruises and patches and limping a bit, he seems kinda put together.
On the other hand Kid looks awful, he breathes heavily, bandages are covering most of his face and body, he’s leaning heavily into Killer and his left arm is missing from the shoulder down.
'Kid how did-' 'That Red haired bastard fucked us up pretty good uh love? I swear the moment I get this shit off I’ll go make him swallow his fuc-' 'I’m just glad you two are fine and alive' you say sniffling.
'Of course we are' Killer says, voice low as usual, resting his forehead on top of yours 'Now darling let’s get you back on the bed before that gash reopens'.
He lifts you into his arms easily, then gently puts back in you hospital bed, even tucking you in while Kid collapses on a chair beside your bed and puts his hand in yours,whispering ‘We’ll get back at them, I promise ya, nobody, not even a fuckin' Yonko can hurt my loves and get away with it’ For a moment his eyes turn galaxy and you swear you see a tear roll down his cheek, you don’t say anything and just wipe it away lovingly.
‘ They'll see’ you whisper back, kissing his forehead and stroking his cheek while Killer sits beside you on the hospital bed, hugging you firmly.
