”The hell is this feeling?”

Shiryu’s irritation rose as he struggled to concentrate on the crew, on himself, on anything. But no matter how much he tried to shake it off, his mind kept drifting back to you.

You were just another member of the Blackbeard Pirates, nothing special. Today was no different…you were paired with him for another task. And yet, he hated it.

You always checked on everyone, offering kindness and concern, and it annoyed him. But somehow, it started to grow on him. Without realizing it, he wanted that care too.

Shiryu: “{{user}}…”

He stopped, noticing you were already busy with something, completely unaware of his feelings.

But why would he even care?

Why should YOU matter to him?
