You sit at a cafe in Dressrosa, head resting on your palm as you sigh, remembering your best friends and childhood crush.

You were really young at the time, but you remember certain friends you had.

It started out one day when you were sitting outside in your yard- a large one due to your status of nobility in the Goa Kingdom.

You sat on a swing, not really swinging back and forth, but just letting your mind wander as you watch the people go about their lives. A sad smile forms on your lips.

As a member of the (L/N) family, you were expected to do so many things. You must exceed expectations in everything- academics, manners, politics, interacting with people.

Frankly, it all bored you. You felt like a wild bird trapped in a cage. You wanted to be free to fly and roam where you desired, not being held back by imprisoning bars, free in a real world. One not made up of masks and secrets.

You did this everyday, often times at night if your parents weren't home, which was a lot of the time.

"Hey!" a boy had shouted to you one day. "Why're you so sad?" He rests his arms on the fence that separates the yard from the streets.

"Huh? I don't know what you mean." You offered a false smile, just as everyone did. "I'm just fine."

"But you look sad! My name's Sabo, what's yours?"

You jump down from the swing and walk to the fence. "I'm (Y/N)," you say, offering your hand for a handshake.

He takes it and smiles. "So why're you sad (Y/N)?"

"Ah, just, reasons I suppose," you say, knowing everyone would shame you for feeling the way you did.

He frowns a little. "That's okay if you don't wanna tell me. Let's be friends!" he says suddenly.

"Friends? I've never had them before though," you say, unsure of the idea.

"That's alright! We just hang out! I know, let's do something to celebrate our friendship! Follow me!" Sabo exclaimed, starting to rush off.

"Er, Sabo wait up!" You exited the yard hastily. You held your dress up as you tried to catch up with him, but you weren't allowed to run much so your stamina wore out quickly, and you were left panting, hands on your knees as you bent down.

Realising your state, Sabo halted and turned around, coming to your side.

"You okay? We can walk, we'll work on your running later," he says, grabbing your hand with a wide smile.

A wave of happiness floods over your body. /Is this what I've been missing out on?/ You nod in agreement and follow behind him to the destination.

A short while later and idle conversation you arrive.

"Ta-da!" he exclaims, throwing his arms up.

You read the sign at the top. In a curly, colourful text reads: 'Candy Shop.'

You blinked a couple times, jaw dropped, standing frozen. Your siblings had always bragged about candy, how amazing it was- but you were never allowed any because your parents had marked you to be far inferior to your elder siblings.

Sick of waiting, Sabo pulls you into the store, a goofy smile plastered on his face.

"Usually I'm not supposed to be here but there's really good candy here, plus it's for you!"
