Fandom: One Piece
Pairing: KamakirixLaki
Theme set: Epsilon
Rating: Pretty PG~
#01 - Motion
She's so jealous of the way he walks; fast but calm, charged with energy and confidence, but most of all, unwavering determination.
#02 - Cool
Kamakiri's arms are fast and strong; his hands are always warm, but everything else about him is cool.
#03 - Young
He's fifteen and clutching his arm, gasping for air through tears and clenched teeth after Braham had set his dislocated shoulder; Laki thinks Kamakiri shouldn't have been old enough to still think about trying to grin and reassure her that yeah, he was just fine.
#04 - Last
Laki's always at the head of the group with Wiper and Braham; Kamakiri's often last, to make sure no one gets left behind.
#05 - Wrong
"You know I'm right," Kamakiri teased, slinging an arm over Laki's shoulder and squeezing affectionately.
#06 - Gentle
For someone who spends so much time impaling people on the ends of spears and frying them to a crisp, Kamakiri is surprisingly gentle when he helps to bandage Laki's arm (maybe because it was so different from having to hold Wiper down to get anything done).
#07 - One
Of all the whetstones in camp, Kamakiri only uses the one he always keeps with him-- the one Laki had thrown at his head a few years ago before a battle-- and every time he does, all Kamakiri can think about is defending his precious village.
#08 - Thousand
Kamakiri's got a thousand little scraps of things he's collected over the years, including an old ragdoll he'd taken from Laki when they were little for breaking his favorite toy spear; one doll he swore he'd never give back, and hasn't yet.
#09 - King
Wiper sits on his seat like a king on his throne and Kamakiri's eyes are locked on his friend's face, colored with loyalty and conviction but his arm is around her shoulders and for Laki, that's just as good.
#10 - Learn
She's watching him handle the spear, only half-listening to his explanation (the other warriors were so distracting when they practiced, but Laki's sure she has the same effect one them); she asks him to show her again.
#11 - Blur
His arms are around her shoulders and the world blurs as her eyes fill with tears; but it's his hold tightening and his voice whispering, "Laki, Laki, Laki," that keeps her from saying anything.
#12 - Wait
Kamakiri has never waited for her, always sure that she could catch up easily enough, and Laki hasn't disappointed him yet.
#13 - Change
'Nothing's changed', Laki thinks as she watches Kamakiri wrap an arm around Baham's neck and drag him down into an affectionately vicious headlock; except for this, she amends as he saunters over and does the same to her.
#14 - Command
"Now," and it's the Language of the Powerful or something, because Laki doesn't understand Wiper, but Kamakiri obviously does as he grabs her by the shoulder, shoves her out the tent and clashes with their leader, spear in his hand and a grin on his face.
#15 - Hold
Laki thinks Kamakiri is selfish for letting everyone watch him hurt the way he does; Kamakiri tells her that he won't let anyone get to his precious friends as long as he could still hold a weapon.
#16 - Need
Kamakiri doesn't need anything or anyone, and Laki doesn't either, but when he tells her to stay behind this time, Laki, pleasepleaseplease, I don't want you to get hurt, she can't breathe for a moment, and he's walking away the next.
#17 - Vision
The entire world is red to him; that's okay, because it's his favorite color, but sometimes Kamakiri takes off his shades and grins at the green in the leaves and the blue of the sky, the white of the ocean and the dark, untainted black of Laki's hair.
#18 - Attention
He's not loud and he's not particularly noticeable, but Laki's eyes are always drawn to the entrance as soon as Kamakiri enters a room.
#19 - Soul
Bright like the sun but twice as unpredictable; it's all Laki can do to keep up with them.
#20 - Picture
Just before the chief snapped their picture with the dial, Kamakiri had jabbed Laki cheerfully in the side and commented afterwards that her expression was absolutely... pricelss.
#21 - Fool
Laki elbows him in the ribs and calls him an idiot; Kamakiri takes it with a grin and nudges her none-too-gently off the edge into the ocean clouds.
#22 - Mad
Kamakiri makes sure that dealing with Laki doesn't become a habit; it's frustrating and annoying and when she says one thing, she usually means another.
#23 - Child
"Laki, get it off me!" Kamakiri shouted, trying to pry Aisa off from where she had latched onto his waist after he had saved her from the skyshark.
#24 - Now
It's hard to think about the future when you don't even know whether or not you'll live to see tomorrow and it's hard to think of the past after all you've been through, but now is fine and now is friends-who-are-closer-than-family.
#25 - Shadow
They fight in the shadows and skirt along the edge of the woods; Kamakiri drags Laki into the ocean clouds just as the tree behind her explodes in a shower of sparks.
#26 - Goodbye
Kamakiri leans in close, a half-smile on his lips, "I loved you, a long time ago," and that was all and he was gone, running like the wind in Wiper's shadow to protect his village.
#27 - Hide
As a rule, Laki doesn't cry much but when Kamakiri kneels down and gently closes the eyes of their old friend, she finds that breaking that rule is OK sometimes, because he's doing the same thing.
#28 - Fortune
Laki has always depended on herself and her skills, her friends and logic; Kamkiri liked to leave it to luck.
#29 - Safe
They had been young and those memories shine like the sun in his heart, protected by the impenetrable wall of his mind.
#30 - Ghost
The lightest touch against Laki's arm sends her whirling in circles, searching for a face that she hasn't seen in months and sighs when she realizes it was only her imagination, after all.
#31 - Book
Laki's surprised to see Kamakiri reading, but when she sits down next to him and realizes that he's not really reading-- just staring into the page, she smiles and nudges him awake.
#32 - Eye
Laki thinks it's a little shameful that Kamakiri knows exactly what makes her tick, can make her smile, can put her in hysterics almost effortlessly; but then again, she doesn't notice the way he watches her almost carefully when she laughs and she doesn't notice the way he always grins along.
#33 - Never
Kamakiri groaned as he glanced at the fish she was roasting over the fire; "Laki, those aren't even edible!"
#34 - Sing
Kamakiri rarely sings but when he does his voice is a calm, resonant hum; Laki could fall asleep to it, but she'd much rather listen.
#35 - Sudden
"Laki," and his hands are on her shoulder and his mouth is by her ear, "it's almost time; don't die, okay?"
#36 - Stop
He throws out an arm and stops her in her tracks just as Wiper's Burn Bazooka blazes a path two inches from their faces and he shouts a belated warning from somewhere behind a tree; "Watch the hell out, fuckin' idiots!"
#37 - Time
If Kamakiri could stop time, he'd stop it right -now-, right when Laki was grinning and pulling the three of them into a tight, ecstatic hug, right when Braham was blushing for the first time -ever- because what the hell, since when was Laki a chick and Genbou was laughing like hell and Wiper was trying not to look as awkward as he felt.
#38 - Wash
It takes a long time to get rid of the blood seeping into the leather and dials of his 'board, but Kamakiri knows that even the deepest stains'll wash out eventually; in the meantime, he could use them to freak Laki out.
#39 - Torn
When Wiper's calling for Kamakiri to get the hell to the front and he's worried about Laki getting clocked over the head by a guy twice her size, he shrugs and runs towards Wiper's voice when she viciously jabs the guy behind her in the gut with the butt of her rifle.
#40 - History
Kamakiri is, as a rule, always on Laki's bad side; no one remembers a time when they weren't squabbling or arguing or teasing and everyone knows Kamakiri goes easier on Laki than he does the other guys, but no one's ever seen him bring down another girl and hold her down by cramming a knee into her back, either.
#41 - Power
For a second, his arm is around her waist and she can feel the muscles in his powerful arms tensing and twitching with contained energy and panic-- and then all she can feel is slick and warm and all she can see is red, red, red.
#42 - Bother
He complains when he helps, but she never asks for it.
#43 - God
God was just the man they've come to respect over the weeks and months he's worked so closely with them and God was just the title of the man the straw-hat brat had toppled from his perch; Kamakiri believes in no one but himself and his friends, and Laki's recently decided to follow his example.
#44 - Wall
The wall had broken under Kamakiri's clenched fist, cracks spreading in a web before he turned around and walked away; Laki, some distance away, winced as she caught sight of the poor idiot dumb enough to piss Kamakiri off.
#45 - Naked
Kamakiri takes off his tinted shades and for the second time, Laki can see his eyes; but this time she sees them wide and alert, brimming with energy and determination and optimism and sees the reflection of all things fun in the world; subsequently understands why he wears shades all the time (to avoid giving people heart attacks every time he grinned-- Wiper isn't even immune), and especially why he had been notoriously charming among the adults, especially when they were kids.
#46 - Drive
She wouldn't be moving forward at all if not for the friends constantly pushing at her back and the words he whispers in her ear.
#47 - Harm
Kamakiri doesn't mind getting hurt occasionally as long as his friends were okay, but he still complains that Laki gets into the most trouble out of all of them.
#48 - Precious
It's when Kamakiri smiles that Laki can forget he's the second-strongest warrior in Skypiea and it's then that she can forget all their obligations and enjoy his company, even if it's only for a little while.
#49 - Hunger
Genbou eats quickly but cleanly, taking time to savor the flavors as well as stuff his face; Wiper, like it's a punishment, always thinking about his battles and the legends and Braham doesn't eat often but scarfs a lot down when he does; Kamakiri cooks most of the time, having learned to do so after finding out Wiper refused to think about stuff like that, and it's Laki who coaxes everyone to sit in a circle to eat together.
#50 - Believe
Laki hadn't believed that Kamakiri got around as much as the other girls said (the most mention anyone else had made of it was that the girls in camp would flush red and come to talk to him every time he was alone), but with Kamakiri's fingers drawing slow, hynoptic circles on the small of her back and the other hand pressed against the back of her head and his lips and tongue traveling leisurely over her neck, she thinks maybe those rumors had something to them, after all.
