Notes: It feels lacking to me. Like it's missing something. But it's a drabble, so I guess the places that feel too vauge to me are okay. In a way, it's MEANT to be vague, but I may work with it later and add more. In the meantime, it's being submitted to One Piece Yaoi 100 for the "Lies" topic.

Thank you to Huabot for revision suggestions.
