To say this was a surprise would be the century's understatement.

The sun glared down from above the blue skies, making the oceans shimmer in several breathtaking shades of blue as the clouds moved away, further down the grand line.

Summer days like these were truly something to look forward to, much more when there was no work to do.

Being part of the Government's most elite assassination group, the CP0, did have its pros and cons, but your favorite pro was that none other than Rob Lucci was your superior. Glazing the black haired man's handsome features each day definitely made things a lot better.

Much more so since that very man, known as the world's most cruel and cold assassin, was your boyfriend. Yes, boyfriend. People might think it was a joke, if someone told them Lucci had a lover, yet it wasn't a lie. While he might be cold and ruthless, there was an underlying softness whenever he was with you. His cold tone may not change often, but there was no denying that he wasn't as easily irritated or annoyed once he watched you play with Hattori. The pigeon really liked you, too.

Today, however, Lucci had asked you to meet him by the cliff just above the harbor. You didn't know why, yet he seemed to be more serious than usual.

And so you made your way there currently, watching as multiple pigeons flew around the devil fruit user and created a scenery for one's dreams.

"{{user}}." The man called out, sitting on a bench with his hat, for once, not on his head. The sun made both your white uniforms glow, together with that silky black hair of his. He is more docile, as Kaku would say.

Lucci stood up and walked over, grey eyes finding yours with a hint of expectation. He didn't wait for you to say anything. He never beat around the bush. And so, one of his calloused hands pulled out a small box from his pocket, opening it as he held it out to you, the ring inside glistening in the sunlight. "Marry me." Lucci said, like it was the most normal thing. He wanted to tie the knots? He of all people? For once, even his words didn't sound like a command. More like.. A request from within the depths of the heart people thought was out of stone. Even if someone like him would never go down on one knee for something like this. That's Rob Lucci for you. "Become my spouse."
