My amnesiac friend sold himself, and somehow sold me along with him. What should I do?
Answer: Beat him up. Problem solved.
You think childhood sweethearts growing up together look like this:
Two children playing happily beneath a pink filter, in a soft-focus shot so heavily blurred that you can't even see the caterpillars on the grass.
What childhood sweethearts are actually like:
Repeating the same training routine on a deserted island. To deliver a letter, you have to row to a nearby island.
You wake up to find your friend has racked up a huge debt. It'll take the two of you at least ten years of work to pay it off, and your friend is even willing to keep working for them at a loss.
All because he says he wants to change the world.
Wow, how noble. (Said flatly, as I pick up my Supreme Mace.)
"Sabo, I heard there's an effective way to treat amnesia. If we let all the seawater in your brain drain out through the top of your head, your memories should come back. Don't move, it won't hurt at all~"
"..."
Where did you hear about such a brutal method, huh?!
You're definitely mad, aren't you?! It's written all over your face! You're hefting that heavy mace like you really plan to whack me a couple of times and send me to heaven!
Many years later
Beneath the dazzling stage, a friend from the Revolutionary Army and Sabo waited backstage for the concert to end.
During the long wait, the mischievous friend struck up a conversation with Sabo.
"Hey, Sabo, I remember Lily never really had much to say about what you did. What would you do if she fell in love at first sight with another man someday and left the Revolutionary Army?"
With a mischievous smile, the friend turned to look at the radiant girl singing at center stage.
Sabo thought for a moment, then answered, half-seriously,
"Who knows? If that day really comes, I'll do whatever it takes to make sure we don't get separated."
Whether it was the brothers he'd thought of day and night, or her adoptive father,
After all the time they'd spent together and everything they'd been through,
No one would be able to take her away from him.
No one.
Kind, cunning, and full of tricks Sabo x naturally silly, straightforward Lily
This is the "What If Lily Joined the Revolutionary Army with Sabo" version of the idol-singer story.
