Chapter Text
Pudding didn’t know falling in love could hurt so much. She had only watched as the man she loved did everything for another woman and she wondered if this was what love was - being a slave to someone else, be it like Sanji was or like she was, as she knew she would always stare from afar, too scared of being rejected.
Love hurt and she hated it - or at least she thought she hated it, until the day she met Reiju who only had to smile that wonderful smile of hers for Pudding to know she would probably end up making a fool of herself too, though it didn’t matter if it meant the other girl noticed her.
