The area was silent as I sat next to Sebastian with my lovely black horse laying before me, looking up at me with pure sadness.

If one had seen us they'd have thought that I was sitting in comfortable tranquility with my husband and steed but that was far from the truth.

Instead I was holding in my tears with a demon glaring me down after I'd just told him and my horse about everything I had went through and more.

I looked at the two, sadness and pain evident in my eyes.

"You endured all of this for so many months and didn't tell anyone?" Said Horse-Mihawk with a voice so strained that I could just barely comprehend his words.

"I thought it was just a phase and I didn't want anyone to worry." Again silence filled the air, the tension rising to the point where I felt like I was suffocating. I hesitantly moved my gaze to Sebastian whose eyes were now pink and slitted like that of a deadly snake.

"What are you upset about? Didn't you say you don't care about me?"

I never said I didn't care, I said I didn't love you." And that was it, the end of the conversation had finally arrived and I took it as my cue to retire for the day

(Author p.o.v)

Sebastian was enraged by what he'd just heard from his, oh so precious, toy. Even though she was stubborn and annoying, (y/n) was still a rare sight. And the fact that a human who'd been intimate with her countless times, wasn't able to see that seemed ludicrous to him.

'Just how simpleminded are these creatures?'  He tried to answer the question but was unable to at how impossible it seemed for that level of stupidity to exist.

"I had high hopes for those two especially after they had Masahiko."  Grunted the horse as he stoop up to reveal his massive size. Honestly Mihawk was nothing short of extraordinary. He was about twelve feet tall with a very strong form along with a long mane and tail. Sebastian stared at the animal is slight amazement before replying.

"As did I but knowing how fickle humans can be, i guess we overestimated them." Both of them gave a sigh and turned around to face the house that stood beautifully at their backs. A mutual respect being shared between both of (y/n)'s protectors while they continued their conversation comfortably.

However they weren't the only ones bonding. All the way across the sea on kuraigana island was a young boy with lovely black hair and entrancing eyes talking to his equally handsome father about the many adventures he had when he'd joined his mother on her missions.

"Honestly when I saw the guy mommy had to assassinate, I thought he just a really big lipped version of uncle shanks."

Mihawk laughed at his son's joke and pulled the boy onto his lap, eager to hear more.

"He sounds quite handsome." Teased the swordsman with a bright smile on his face.

"Yeah I felt myself getting jealous of his charming pig lips." Once again the room was filled with the gleeful outbursts being shared between the two. I guess it wasn't that bad for the family to split don't you?
