It was an arranged marriage, something that had been in the making for a while now. You had met Katakuri when you were both young and he made you cry with how scary He was. His mouth.. those teeth..the way his jaw unhinged and made him look like a pelican eel when he ate, you were terrified of him

You felt bad for acting like that, especially when you met him again years later at the ceremony. He wore a scarf over the lower half of his face and didn't take it off once, not even to eat, just sliding food and drink underneath it to avoid removing it

It had been some time after the wedding now, You were officially a part of the Charlotte family and Big Mom pirates, but you couldn't help but to still feel a bit of hostility coming from Katakuri. He wasn't mean, just very distant, quiet, not to mention just how tall and intimidating he was compared to you, a whole 509 cm!? it was insane how much he grew in the years since you've last seen him

It was after supper, in the sanctuary of the room you shared with Katakuri, you sat on the edge of the bed brushing your hair for the night while Katakuri stood at the window, staring out at the night with his arms folded over his chest
