《Reality Check (One Piece Fan-Fiction)》Chapter IV: Opening Up
Advertisement
(you know what? I kinds just remembered that Roger has already found the One Piece 20 years ago & I was just an idiot & forgot... my bad. Also, Whitebeard is referring him as Stoneheart D (Drake). Lyon)
Third Person POV
Whitebeard chuckled as he led Leo out of the infirmary room, the boy was shaking in his boots & practically clung onto Whitebeard's leg. The crew mates watched in amusement at the shy child, some laughed while some just stared
Whitebeard was now on the deck where all the Commanders were, Leo flinched at all the attention he was getting & hid behind Whitebeard once again. He shook his head & lightly pushed Leo to all of them, this time he gasped & blushed darkly
"There's no need to be shy, my son." Leo's head slowly nodded, Whitebeard had started calling him son for awhile & it made Leo, you guessed it, start crying
'I'm sorry...'
"There's no need to apologize either!" he nodded his head again "Now my sons, I'd like you to meet Stoneheart D. Lyon." he waved his hand nervously
'Hello...'
"Hey kid! Its nice seeing you out of that room finally." Leo smiled nervously at Thatch as he felt the older man ruffle his head
"He seems to like you, Thatch. What'd you do?" he shrugged & looked away
"Oh nothing, I was just being nice."
"You, nice? That's kinda hard to believe." Thatch just laughed & looked down at Leo again, he (Leo) looked up at Thatch & shyly smiled at him again
"See! He likes you!" Thatch rolled his eyes & picked Leo up
"You make it sound like he's a animal." he retorted back & walked off to the kitchen with the little boy, Leo has never smiled in front of anybody in his entire life, a true smile that is. Thatch makes him feel comfortable to be around, pops does the same but... this is different "So kiddo, you hungry."

'Yes please.'
"Same thing I gave you before?" he felt Leo nod "Okay." Leo had been looking up to Thatch like a big brother... the big brother he never had, a better big brother that Xavier never was. The thought of him made Leo scowl & growl, Thatch seemed to have noticed
"Why'd you growl?"
'Whatever do you mean?'
"You look & sounded angry, was it how people are treating you?"
'You are... somewhat close.'
"Alright Leo, we're gonna play a game of 20 questions, I'm probably gonna ask you like... under 10 questions."
'What if I disagree to play?'
"Then you don't get french toast." Leo put a hand to his chest as he gasped lightly in a shocked tone
'How cruel, alright then. I'll play your dumb game.'
"Now that's rude, um, what's your favorite color?" he asked as he set the food in front of him
'Green.'
"Okay, lucky number."
'Its either 3 or 13.'
"Hmm, your birthday."
'Why are you asking for personal details?' he asked as he gave Thatch a weird look, he just shrugged 'Whatever, August 27.'
"Good good, now if you don't mind me asking, & its alright if you don't wanna answer but... why do you where sunglasses, even when its not sunny?" Leo choked on his food a bit & started breathing heavily
The hurtful words are coming back...
What did I do to deserve this...?
"Leo..."
They're right...
I should just die...
"Leo...!"
I wish I never woke up!!
"Lyon!" he gasped as he felt tears run down his face, he blink a few times & realized he had been crying in front of a crowd. Everyone started arriving when they smelt Thatch's food but stopped when they heard/saw the conversation between him & the boy, Leo started blushing out of embarrassment as he tried to wipe his tears away

'I-I'm sorry...! I didn't mean t-to start crying!' Thatch looked down at him & saw he was still trying to wipe his tears away, his tears were also smudging his words
"No Lyon, I shouldn't have asked such a personal question, if anyone's sorry... it should be me." yet that didn't get him to stop crying
Leo sniffles a bit until he felt he was pulled into a hug... he's never been given a hug before. He's lip quivered when he felt the other crew mates hug him as well, he grit his teeth to try to stop the tears from falling but just gave up
"... t-thank you..." he whispered & only those with keen ears were able to hear it, which made them smile
(sorry if short. I kinda suck at writing this, I'm not use to it. Its mostly the ASL is involved with it & shit!)

New Paris [a Modern-day LitRPG]
New Paris [OR] I reincarnated into the world of my favorite wuxia novel as an S ranker with unbalanced skills. [Volume 1] - Completed I was one of those people who only stood out in a crowd when their name was called. Then, I died. But instead of heaven, hell, or anything else, I found myself in the body of a young woman whom I did not recognise at first. You see, I had this novel I was obsessed with. The novel was a fairly popular wuxia that got a few sequels, and a handful of spinoffs. One of these spinoffs took place in Paris, where the main cast fought against a multi-millionaire villain. When I woke up after dying, I eventually realised that I was now the third daughter of this multi-millionaire end-game boss in a spin-off of a sequel of my favourite novel. Does this make any sense to you? Because it doesn't to me. But I guess I might as well make the most of it now. Just gotta stay away from some of the more unstable main characters and cut all ties with my 'family' to avoid certain death. [Volume 2] - Currently Airing It had not been a good idea to interfere with the characters of the original novel. Had I known it was going to cause a butterfly effect, I would have stayed in my lane and minded my business. Although, between the suspicious attacks I seem to constantly find myself in the center of, and my 'family' who is the living definition of the expression 'rich pricks', I’m not entirely sure my current predicament would have been avoidable. But maybe it isn't to be avoided; maybe I should embrace this opportunity that has been given to me and become the hero of this story? At least it's certain that I can't do worse than the original protagonist in terms of moral ambiguity; with immortality already in my pocket, and no other useful skills to account for. However, if I were to follow this path, I would have a lot to lose, including an upcoming promotion and my growing relationship with my crush. With power, glory and whatever else on one side, and my wellbeing and happiness on the other, even in this magical wuxia world, the choice is easy to make. CW: graphic descriptions of violence, swearing, implied child abuse, mention and graphic description of suicide
