MASTERLIST | PROMPT LIST
âââââââ
LAW
It might seem a little vain but Law loves how drawn you are to his tattoos. He loves how when he walks hand in hand with you, your thumb will always rub lightly against the inked pattern of his skin. Youâre almost unconscious of it and heâs always silently expecting it and without fail you do it while looking around the new sights of the island the crew are exploring. It doesnât stop at that though. When youâre sitting or lounging beside him in your more relaxed moments on the sub, depending on your position you have to have your hand on his arm or his chest with your fingers following the lines without even needing to be looking at them. Law finds it amusing how through muscle memory alone your hands just know the pathway of the ink perfectly.Â
Law loves how you accept his obsession with needing to work longer hours to a point. After becoming a couple you both reached an understanding that on the nights heâs drawn into his journals he has to read aloud in bed and even if you donât fully understand the medical and other scientific terminologies, the sound of his voice will always lull you over to sleep. Finally when Law feels his eyes begin to grow heavy, he pulls you close and loves to lay his head close to your chest, his most treasured sound of your steady and strong heartbeat comforts him and is the final thing he needs to fall into a peaceful and restful sleep.Â
KID
Kidâs a simple man, one of the things he loves with you is when you help with his appearance. While he remains relaxed and perched on the edge of the bed you stand between his legs, perfectly slotted and almost pressed against his chest as you carefully apply his eyeliner and lipstick with a careful and steady hand. Kid loves the simple yet intimate moment each and every morning, trusting you completely while also getting to indulge in having his hand firmly against your hip, the appearance of keeping you steady when really you both know he canât help but have his hands on you. Kid loves the complete focus in your eyes as you do this task, taking it seriously. He only closes his eyes when youâve finished by pressing a gentle kiss against the scar.
More than anything Kid loves how at ease and adaptable you are in his larger than life presence. Despite him being the taller and louder in the pair you compliment him so well that itâs effortless. He doesnât need to quiet who he is, you just accept him and match his energy in your own way. Whether heâs brawling in a bar or working on something in his workshop, youâre there as his constant support. He loves how easily you slotted into his life and made him realise just how much he needed someone like you to stabilise his chaotic nature without taming it.Â
KILLER
With Killer he loves the ability to communicate with you without needing to say much if anything at all. Youâre both so comfortable and in sync with one another that you know what the other needs. One such thing being you always know when Killer needs the space to breathe and relieve the building pressure against his head. He wears his mask for a reason but constantly wearing it does cause a tightness and pain. You always know when Killer is reaching his limit and find a way to sneak him away, letting him pull off his mask and lay his head down in your lap and immediately feel your fingers sink into his hair and massage the tension away from his skull.Â
Killer loves having you with him in the kitchen. The two of you cook together in perfect harmony while also working together on making new recipes. Anything that Killer comes up with youâre always the first to taste test, giving him the only opinion he values while knowing that you will be completely honest and will offer helpful criticism or suggestions that will always help him improve his cooking. Killer also loves how youâre also as protective of the space as he is, always quick to kick out any of the crew when they try to sneak food before itâs ready, especially when itâs Kid that needs to be reprimanded.Â

Carrying YouÂ
Summary: How do they carry you?
Characters: Luffy, Zoro, Sanji, Ace, Sabo, Law, Kid
Genre: Fluff
CW: None // SFW
âââÂ
Luffy:Â
We all know heâs a potato sack kinda guy. When he wants to, heâll just throw you over his shoulder and thatâs that. Notorious for reaching all the way across the deck of the Sunny, wrapping his arm around your waist, and snatching you up.Â
Zoro:Â
Another type to just throw you over his shoulder like a sack of potatoes. Heâll smack your ass every time he does, too, and tell you to stop complaining if you dare say something. Heâs been known to do this in an argument.Â
Sanji:Â
Bridal style. Always bridal style. He sweeps you off your feet, handling you with great care, and makes sure not to jostle you around too much. Heâll carry you any time, day or night, always happy to have you in his arms.Â
Ace:Â
Piggyback rides all the way. He loves having you on his back because he can move at his fast pace and keep you with him. He also puts you on his shoulders to carry you around because why wouldnât he? Very happy for you to climb him like a tree. Â
Sabo:Â
Always picks you up off the counter or desk or somewhere youâre sitting, grinning when you wrap your legs around his waist and cling to him like a koala bear. Definitely not above tucking you under his arm for safekeeping.Â
Law:Â
Not the most handsy, though he has been known to pick you up against your will when youâre overworking yourself and take you back to his cabin. How he carries you depends on how difficult you make it. If youâre nice, heâll carry you bridal style, but if you put up a fight, over his shoulder you go. Â
Kid:Â
Grins when you come behind him and attempt to lift him off the ground, failing miserably due to his size, turns around and does the same to you but with far more success. He takes advantage of the size difference and manhandles you all day long.Â

Youâre Sick - Part 1
Summary: How do they act when you come down with a bad fever?
Characters: Luffy, Zoro, Sanji, Ace, Sabo, Law, Kid
Genre: Fluff
CW: None // SFW
âââÂ
Luffy:Â
Donât expect him to look the other way when you blow snot all over the place. Heâll laugh and even poke a little fun at you. One thing he wonât do is fuss over you. Sure, heâll bring you something to eat, and heâll tell you to get under the blanket if youâre so cold, but he wonât be a mother hen clucking. And itâs comforting, actually. If thereâs one thing you can count on from Luffy, itâs for him to remain calm, and he does just that when you come down with a fever, showing up for you without smothering you.Â
Zoro:Â
Heâs not very good at the nurturing gig. The main thing is that he doesnât want you to think that he thinks you canât handle yourself. But⌠well, he worries. Heâs never seen you this way, and the fear of loss is never out of reach for him. He takes to hovering by the door with his arms folded over his chest, even lowering his head to rest his eyes but never once sitting down. Itâs not even a conscious thing, him staying on his feet the entire time youâre sick; his instinct is just to protect you, and this is the way he knows.Â
Sanji:Â
Soup. Of course heâs going to make soup. And then heâs going to make more soup, so much soup that the entire crew will be eating soup for at least the next week. Sanji doesnât know what else to do with himself. He has to keep himself busy, though, has to keep his hands moving, or else heâll find himself in a dark place. Luckily, he knows he can place his faith in Chopper to nurse you back to health. In the meantime, though, heâs going to keep making soup because he knows the power of a good meal.Â
Ace:Â
He brushes it off so easily you would think he wasnât worried- if you didnât know him, that is. What hits him the hardest when youâre bedridden, though, is how much you take care of him, followed by a fear that he wonât reciprocate well enough and youâll be cross with him. He never would have imagined his fear of abandonment would rear itâs ugly head at such a time, but there he is, sitting on the end of the bed feeling like his most precious treasure is about to slip through his fingers. He wants to run from it, but he manages to grab your hand and give you a smile, teasing you about your messy hair.Â
Sabo:Â
He babies you- the man who rarely picks up the transponder snail and usually hangs up in the middle of the call when he does, the man who canât be damned to remember most peopleâs names, the man who seems so utterly blasĂŠ most of the time. He drags a damp cloth across your forehead, he takes your temperature every hour, he reads and rereads the label on the medicine you were given by the doctor to be sure you get the right dose at the right time and donât show any of the adverse side effects listed.Â
Law:Â
You expect him to be gruff with you. After all, your boyfriend hasnât struck you as a doctor famous for his bedside manner. Thatâs not to say heâs mean, heâs just not very sappy. But when you come down with a fever, you notice a line in his brow youâve never seen before and quickly realize the depths of his worry. Law is more gentle with you than heâs ever been, even going so far as to quietly spoon feed you. And he holds you the entire time, any risks to his own health be damned.Â
Kid:Â
If you didnât know him so well, youâd think he was mad at you, or at least trying to disturb your sleep because he doesnât want you to rest. But he snapped at you to sleep in his bed, not your own, and when he comes into his cabin every fifteen minutes, you recognize his extra loud footsteps and irate muttering about you coughing all over his sheets as concern. Eventually, he sits in a chair by the bed with a hunk of metal in his hands that he fidgets with while he watches over you, barking at Killer to bring you something hot.Â

Cuddling - Part 1
Summary: How do they cuddle you?
Characters: Luffy, Zoro, Sanji, Ace, Sabo, Law, Kid
Genre: Fluff
CW: None // SFW
âââÂ
Luffy:
Heâs more of a koala bear than a literal koala bear. He doesnât even realize cuddling is a thing because itâs so normal to him, like eating and breathing. Youâve literally never slept in the same bed with him without him wrapping himself around you (neither has anyone else, for that matter). He even gets a little grumpy if youâre not there for him to hold on to.Â
Zoro:
Itâs not called cuddling, thatâs for sure. He might refer to holding you, but thatâs about it. One of his guilty pleasures, though, is being held by you. He especially likes it when you sit behind him and wrap both your arms and legs around him, bonus points if you run your hands up and down his chest and abdomen.Â
Sanji:
A total cuddle bug. He usually comes to bed after you (though not so late that youâre already asleep), and likes to slip between your legs while youâre sitting up against the pillows. Bonus points if you rub his back or smooth his hair. Heâs also one for quick daytime snuggles, often coming up behind you and wrapping his arms around you for a long hug.Â
Ace:
He grabs hold of you easily, but he doesnât let go easily. If he falls asleep, youâll be stuck by his side until he wakes up because he holds on to you so tight. Heâs clingy, but not in a little spoon kind of way, more of a âIâm going to put you where I want youâ kind of way. It puts him at ease to keep you so close because he feels your a little safer that way.Â
Sabo:
Heâs so sweet about it. He holds you like a baby every time you two have any privacy, encouraging you to wrap not only your arms but also your legs around him. He sort of pretends itâs to put you at ease and make you feel safe, but the weight and warmth of your body makes him feel safe and, in particular, makes him feel capable and dependable.Â
Law:
If you call him the little spoon, heâll break up with you, but he is often the little spoon. He gets annoyed when you donât automatically wrap your arms around him in bed because he doesnât want to embarrass himself by asking. One of his favorite things in the world is falling asleep with his head in your lap while you play with his hair.Â
Kid:
Not so much cuddling as it is him collapsing on top of you. If you manage to fall asleep without him on top of you, youâll wake up either with him on top of you or to him yanking you into his arms to hold you against his chest while heâs still asleep. Treats you like his teddy bear, hangs on to you extra tight when heâs stressed.Â

It's easy to sleep by Law, he comes to bed late anyway, you're already far off in dream land by the time he slips in and wraps his arms around your waste, burying his face in your hair. Itâs comfortable and you always wake feeling like youâve had the best sleep of your life, Law does too which is rare for him. He swears he can only sleep decently with you by him.
If you canât sleep, youâll go to his office to drag him from his desk, though Law will fight you at first. Just one more report heâll say, but youâll try to convince him by rubbing his shoulders or bringing him a warm drink to try and get him to bed before it gets too late. The very rare times you donât try to bring him to your shared bed, you end up in his lap falling asleep as Law continues to work late into the night.
Those nights, once he finishes his work, Law will quietly turn off his lamp, pick you up, and carry you to your room, kissing your forehead when he lays you in bed before getting a shower and dressed himself to sleep.
Every now and then you wake up to him back in his office when heâd gone to bed with you at a normal time, but you know itâs because of the nightmares that continue to plague his mind when heâs trying to rest. When that happens, you know you could leave him alone, but thatâs not you and Law knows it. So instead of leaving him alone, you take a blanket and pillow, lay on the couch you made him put in there, and go back to sleep so he knows youâre there if he needs you.
You wake up the next morning with Law holding you close, still on the couch and glad heâs rested. There might be some sore joints or a crick in your neck the rest of the day, but none of that matters when you know Law has slept.

confession - trafalgar water d. law
a/n: sorry, i cant not call law "captain". its the same thing with luffy too, its just so hot đđđ fanfic is truly the only lawless time that i would be into some sort of power imbalance in a relationship, what happens on tumblr, stays on tumblr đđ
a/n: okay, not to like be the girl that pairs her fics with songs, but like... the second i finished proof-reading this i couldn't help but think of how well this fit: so here it is; hopefully you see the vision đđđ you can't tell me that song isn't law coded as hell đ
nothing but fluff here đ
---------------------------------------------------------------------
when law first asked you to join the heart pirates, he never intended to fall for you. in fact, he actively tried to not fall for you.
it wasn't because there was anything wrong with you. you were everything he wanted and more, but he didn't want to be in a relationship. he didn't know how to be, if he was ready for one, how to be a boyfriend. he knew this, at yet, he couldn't keep his eyes off of you.
â˘âĄâ˘
when you first joined the heart pirates, initially you thought that the captain regretted even asking you to join. you always felt his watchful gaze following you. even when he wasn't around, you could still feel the burn of his intense hazel eyes on your skin. it became difficult for you to even look at law without blushing slightly, feeling a bit intimidated by him, but also intrigued.
so when he asked you for help organizing the files and loose papers in his office, you instantly agreed. party because you hoped that if you did a good job, you would prove to the captain that you were competent and a good choice to be on his crew, and partly because you held the tiniest bit of hope that this could be an opportunity to get to know him more.
â˘âĄâ˘
okay, so, maybe you were wrong. maybe this was a bad idea. i mean, you can't say no to the captain's orders, but also. this was painfully awkward. at least for you it was. you had been going through the loose papers on law's desk with minimal guidance from him. he sat on the opposite side, engrossed in work.
once the mess of papers on his desk were somewhat figured out, you moved them to a separate (just as cluttered) table in his office to set the down on while you gather other papers scattered around the room. even now with your back turned, you could feel law's hazel eyes following you as you moved around his office.
you hurriedly grabbed the other miscellaneous papers, bringing them to the secondary table, where you then decided to take a seat and really sort through them all, carefully scanning their content to determine how you should file them.
it wasn't until a good half an hour in, that you uncovered an open book buried beneath the papers. you make note of the page it is opened on, holding a finger in place there, as you turned to look at the cover.
"i didn't know you were reading this series law! it's one of my favorites! how are you liking it?" law glanced up from his work, looking to see what book you were talking about. with a scoff, he suddenly seemed to perk up a bit, which was the most excitement you'd ever seen displayed from the captain. "fuck, i've been looking for that book for seven months, every island we stopped at that had a bookstore was always sold out. i've been wondering how it ends for ages now."
"it's my all time favorite in the series, the ending was amazing! i wouldn't mind rereading the whole series just to read that book again.... im glad i could find it for you!" you replied, with a wide smile.
law quietly stood up, leaving his desk to walk over to the bookcase beside it. he grabbed the very first book of the series. as he walked over to you, he paused right in front of you for a second, as if contemplating what he was about to do before offering the first volume to you in exchange for the copy you had found of the third volume. with his gruff and quiet voice, he announced "the office can get organized another day, wanna read for a bit?"
â˘âĄâ˘
true, law was always intrigued by you, from the very second he met you. but pure intrigue had instantly shifted to attraction the second he looked up at you holding the "lost" copy of the book he had been obsessed with. it was to his surprise that you too had also read this series, and loved it.
before he could even process what was happening he heard the words "the office can get organized another day, wanna read for a bit?" slip out of his mouth. and the instant wide smile that shined on your face after he did make him so glad he had said it.
â˘âĄâ˘
it wasn't too long after that first day organizing law's office that the two of you made it a plan to read together. quiet and dark evenings in the captain's office, spent in comfortable silence and the the frequent ambient sound of page turning as the two of you read and reread some of the best moments in your beloved book series.
as you both continued to make progress with the novels each night, the more you noticed the utter charm of the captain. his toned, tan, tattooed chest, his messy dark brown hair, his piercing eyes as the scanned the words on the page in front of him.
you two had grown comfortable in each other's presence, and even began to prefer it to being alone. this small routine being the only time you guys got to spend together alone, becoming an honored custom.
but you couldn't help but hope for more from the captain...
â˘âĄâ˘
law had a hard time vocalizing his feelings. this was something he always knew, but didn't quite have to face the reality of until he was sitting alone in his dark office, waiting for you to show up for your usual nightly reading date, but as the clock ticked by he began to give up hope.
his jealousy bubbled to the surface when he walked into the common room to be greeted with you.... hanging out with shachi, penguin, and bepo, cuddled up next to the soft polar bear mink during a movie night with the crew. what bothered him the most, wasn't the obvious sitting right in front of him, but the fact that he was the one who let it happen. its not like you knew that he'd been harboring feelings for you, he never said anything. but that was about to change.
snuggled into the warm fur of your mink friend, you didn't even notice the law's quiet whispers across the common room "room... shambles."
â˘âĄâ˘
in an instant, you were suddenly in law's office. instead of your head being buried into the soft white fur of navigator of the heart pirates, instead your cheek was laying against the soft warm bare chest of the captain. finally adjusting to your surrounds, you startle a bit "captain.. what the hell is going-"
his arms tighten their grasp around your body, keeping you pressed against him. "sorry... i just.. i couldn't stand watching the two of you that close anymore..." he explained, his voice gruff and somewhat defiant, as if it was a sign of weakness and vulnerability to come clean about the way he feels. "i just.... i was waiting for you tonight.."
you softly began to explain the situation "im so sorry, bepo and the gang dragged me to movie night before i could make it to your office" with side of your face pressed against law's bare chest, you could feel his heart racing, he was much more nervous than he let on. and you, feeling proud of him for being able to vocalize his feelings this far, you decided to make it a bit easier for him when you reply "if you wanted me, captain... all you had to do was ask.."
you could feel him bury his face into your hair, and for a moment he just sat there, holding you, soaking it all in, before he lets out the smallest whisper, just barely loud enough for you to hear, as if he's so afraid to say his wish out loud, like doing so would make it disappear "please be mine?"
you lifted your head up, bringing a hand to the side of his cheek, before you reply "consider me all yours, captain."

part 1
Sanji:
Zoro nodded, wordlessly, resting against the doorframe.Â
âCareful you donât catch her in the crossfire.âÂ
Sanji said nothing. He opened the door and walked in, closing it behind him.Â
For the first time in his life Zoroâs presence brought him a degree of comfort. He knew he could handle whatever awaited him by himself, but he would be a fool to deny that the swordsman was further guaranteeing your safe return home.Â
He descended a small set of stairs into a dark, damp basement. The walls were lined with a sickly yellow mold and the smell of rot had sunken into the cracks of concrete, filling the room with the thick, metallic smell of drying blood.Â
His stomach churned knowing that you were somewhere here.
A door lay slightly ajar at the end of the hallway, pale yellow light pouring out from it.Â
He approached the door, pushing it open with his free hand.Â
Merde.Â
He was greeting with a sight that made his head spin in a way it never had before. He steeled himself, biting back the urge to vomit at the sight of what they had done to you.Â
Five or six men, whose faces he didnât care to look at, stood around the room surrounding you.Â
The outer corners of the dirty cloth that had been wound around your mouth as a gag were soaked through with blood. Sanji felt heat climbing up his throat and settling into the space behind his eyes translating itself from mere anger to blind fury.Â
Your hands were bound too tightly behind your back leaving your elbows bending at unnatural angles and your shoulders jutted forward as though they were being torn out from your skin.Â
He began to undo his tie, watching from the corner of his eye as one of the men- the apparent leader- began loading his gun. His breath was shaky and uneven, the inhales and exhales never dealing with an equal amount of air.Â
He never took his eyes from you as you doubled over and took small gasps of air. In the midst of his disbelief he made a mental note of each injury you seemed to have. Broken wrists, dislocated shoulders, broken ribs, cuts and bruises covering most of you- the most upsetting of which were the purpling fingerprints around your neck.
He would return every injury done to you tenfold. As he took another inhale from his cigarette he realized that you were losing blood from another wound to your side. Â
The few-days-old injury to his left eye, bloodied and mushed, the broken finger on the hand wrapped around his gun, the dried trickle of blood pouring out of his left ear.Â
Atta girl. He knew you wouldnât have gone down with a fight. Sanji took a moment to glance at the others in the room, all bearing similar injuries, and couldnât help the smirk that settled onto his face.Â
One of them said something, perhaps a snarky remark meant to question his confidence, or an insult meant to diminish it. He wasnât sure. Nothing other than you was registering in his blurring mind.
It was the sound of a faint drip, drip, drip that sealed their fate.Â
As Sanji turned to see your tears hitting the floor his vision blacked.Â
He felt the unfamiliar feeling of hot blood covering his hands- the very ones heâd sworn to never use in battle.Â
The feeling of flesh tearing beneath his fingernails, his fingers grabbing whatever mass they could get their hands on and tearing.Â
You turned your head toward the floor, trying to block out the sounds of gore and violence that echoing within the four damp walls that had held you prisoner for the past two days- not because it scared you, no. But because you did not want to face the pure satisfaction that the scene unfolding before you brought. It was too much to watch someone else carry out the revenge that was rightfully yours.Â
You laid your forehead against the cold floor, sweat dripping from your forehead. God, you were exhausted. You let your body hand limp, allowing yourself to rest as best you could now that Sanji was here.Â
You werenât positive- the old digital clock that was on the desk in the corner seemed to not work properly- but by the time Sanji finally stopped, bending down to wipe the blood off of his hands onto the shirt of one of the men, you guessed that thirty six-ish minutes had passed.Â
You held still as Sanji undid the restraints against your hands, letting yourself fully fall onto the floor.Â
You sighed, savoring how good it felt to feel the cold, wet cement pressing against your shaking body. The floor, which for days you had been dangled over, teased with, now welcoming you onto it.Â
A warm, sticky hand under your chin broke the pleasure. Sanji tilted your chin slightly upward to look at him.Â
âMon coeur,â he said, voice shaking.
âSanjâ,â you responded, closing your eyes and resting your head into his palm.Â
âCan you sit up? Iâll carry you out.âÂ
âI can stand,â you said, more aggressively than intended. But you didnât need to be treated like you were fragile. The fact that you were even alive was a testament to that.Â
Sanji drew back, offering you only a silent hand in case you needed any assistance getting to your feet.
You struggled, taking deep breaths as you shakily made your way onto aching feet, feeling like a thousand nails were being screwed into your skin.Â
Sanji tucked a hand under your armpit, resting it gently against your hips- your ribs were too cracked to risk applying any pressure to your sides.Â
You winced, eyes shutting as you let the ebbing pain pass through you, placing one foot in front of the next.Â
You made it to the door before you spoke.
âLet me have a smoke, will you?âÂ
You reached for the cigarette between his lips before he could answer and took a deep inhale, ignoring the hot white pain that seared through your chest as you did.Â
One of your captors, the one who tied you up, was lying by the door. Eyes open and glazed over, mouth swelling like a dead fish left out in the hot sun.Â
You bent down, enduring the pain sent by your body, a desperate attempt to make you stop moving.Â
You pushed the lit cigarette into your captorâs open mouth, watching the ash burn his tongue.
You stood back up, leaning against Sanji.Â
âCarry me?âÂ
He nodded, picking you up ever so gently, his hands providing you with a sense of security that you had spent the last several days losing any hope for.Â
âOne last thing, Sanjâ,â you said.Â
You closed your eyes, cementing this place into your brain. The stench of blood, now fresh and coppery. The humid air that stuck to your skin.Â
Whispering, more to yourself than anyone, you uttered a final word.
âRot in hell.â
Sanji carried you up the stairs and out the door.Â
It was only when you saw the first hint of sunlight that you allowed yourself to fully indulge in the comfort of his presence. He was here, you were safe, he had you.Â
Zoro was waiting for you with Chopper when you got outside. The sun felt both heavenly and hellish. Itâs warmth proof that you were still alive- that blood flowed perhaps too freely through your bones. And itâs brightness, which so highly contrasted the mildewy lamplight of the room you were stuck in, a confirmation of what youâd gone through. But the harsh rays were suddenly replaced by cool shadow and you opened your eyes as Chopper did what immediate work was available for him to do. Sanji stood over you, the sunlight pouring over him from behind his head, a worried look on his face.Â
You closed your eyes again, the tiredness of your body finally catching up with you.Â
Zoro, who up until this point had said nothing, placed a hand on Sanjiâs back. A gentle touch that offered a surprising sense of grounding.Â
âYour hands,â he observed. Sanji looked down at them, caked in dried blood and small, stringy pieces of⌠skin, maybe? Flesh? He tried to recall but everything was a blur.Â
Sanji shrugged, âDidnât notice.âÂ
He looked at Zoro who gave him a curt nod and they both turned their attention back to you.Â
A memory played out before you.Â
I must be knocked out, you thought. It was crystal clear, so unlike a dream that you momentarily felt you might actually be reliving it.Â
The white light of the fridge in the kitchen cast you in a glow as you rummaged through its contents. It was rare to have any leftovers with this crew. There was some fruit- none of which you liked. Milk, eggs, carrots, pork, nothing. Ingredients upon ingredients and you knew better than to start trying to cook.Â
âHungry?âÂ
You turned, startled to see Sanji lighting a cigarette in the doorway.Â
âYeah.. Not many options though.âÂ
Sanji came to stand beside you, beginning to do his own rummaging. He began grabbing several things, a head of cabbage, carrots, pork, butter, heavy creamâŚÂ
âDonât tell me youâre gonna start cooking. Itâs nearly three in the morning!âÂ
Sanji smiled at you, taking out the set of kitchen knives youâd gifted him just two months prior for Christmas (a gift that left his nose bleeding for nearly half an hour).Â
âAh. I couldnât sleep. And besides, it is my job to feed you if youâre hungry.âÂ
You smiled and took a seat at the counter, watching him cook. Normally you might offer to help but you were far too hungry to allow your lack of expertise to ruin your own meal.Â
He moved with such mesmerizing fluidity, the art was clearly a second nature to him and to watch it was captivating. The cutting of vegetables, the smell of cooking meat, the view of his forearms flexed as his hand gripped the handle of the knife, the tease of his happy trail when he lifted his arms to reach for something and his slightly small pajama shirt lifted.Â
Sanji was enchanting- but so were you.Â
Your head tilted to the side as you rested it on your hand, a small smile set on your lips. Your shirt was the exact opposite of his- too big on you- and was hanging off of your shoulder. Sanji did his best to not stare at your collarbone, and the line it painted that led up your pretty neck.Â
âWhatâre you making anyway?âÂ
âGarbure,â he said, simmering a pot on the stove, âItâs a french soup. Sort of a cleaning-out-the-fridge thing. But itâs amazing when made well.â
You hummed, âWhy couldnât you sleep?â
âHonestly? I heard you in the kitchen and figured Iâd make you something to eat.âÂ
âYouâre an angel.âÂ
He looked up at you and the two of you smiled. A light jolt of electricity ran down your back.Â
God, was he always this handsome?
âI think so?âÂ
âWhat?âÂ
âYou⌠asked if Iâm always this handsome- That was for me right?âÂ
âOh- Fuck, I-I hadnât meant to say it out loud!â Your cheeks darkened and you let out an embarrassed giggle.
âIâd ask if youâre always so beautiful but I know the answer is yes.â He ladled the soup intj a bowl and set it in front of you, serving one for himself as well.Â
You leaned your head against his shoulder as you ate.Â
âMmmf- âS good!â
Your hand snaked through the opening between his bicep and chest to rest on his arm, giving it a light squeeze.Â
âThanks Sanjâ.â
He smiled, and leaned his head against yours.
âYou know, youâre the only one who calls me that. Makes me feel special.â
âYou are. Who else can make âgarbageâ this good?â
You added a french accent.Â
âGarbure!â he corrected, laughing.Â
âRight, right. That.âÂ
Maybe it was the soup or the feeling of Sanjiâs hair against your forehead- both a warm and physical proof of how much you were cared for, but you couldnât remember the last time you felt so full.Â
The rest of the memory is blurry.Â
You can recall the weight of sleep seeping into your body, more and more of your weight being shifted on to Sanji.Â
The feeling of his hands under you, carrying you to bed. Or was that now- as he carried you into the Sunnyâs infirmary? The last thing you remember- if this was even a memory anymore- is the feeling of a kiss being pressed upon your cheek.Â
You woke up in one of Sunny's medical rooms with very little pain.
âI made sure you got the bed by the big window,â Sanji said from the chair heâd pulled up next to your bed, âYou joked about it once.. That if you ever got hurt youâd want the room with it.âÂ
It looked like heâd spent the night. You were in new clothes but he wasnât. Dark circles lined his eyes.
You smiled at him, âThanks⌠For everything. Iâd still be there if you hadnât-â
Your eyes welled with tears and your lower lip was trembling, like your body recognized that within these four walls any emotions would be welcome.
Sanji placed his hand over yours and rubbed his thumb up and down your wrist.Â
The tears flowed freely now, as you looked down at his hands.Â
âSanjiâŚâÂ
He had started washing them but the moment Chopper told him you were stable he abandoned the project altogether. His hands were cleaner but browning bits of red gunk were drying in his nail beds.Â
Your eyes were wide as you waited for him to say something, your breath shallowing.
He sighed. He didnât want you to be reminded of anything that had to do with what youâd gone through.
âYeah,â he said, at a loss for words.Â
âIâm⌠sorry.âÂ
You werenât sure what to say. But your heartbeat picked up as he squeezed your hand.
âDonât be, mon ange, Iâm sorry I wasnât there sooner. We all are.âÂ
You laid your head back down, chewing your lip.Â
âIâm glad it was you. That found me.âÂ
Sanjiâs chest tightened.Â
Heâd come to terms with how he felt about you, a feeling both amplified and confirmed by the sound of your voice. His time spent around you affected him deeply beyond flirty remarks and nicknames. He was reduced to so very little in your presence, a nervous bundle of love sickness and desire.Â
And you were glad he found you- that he rescued you.Â
âSo am I.âÂ
You turned to look at him.Â
It didnât really have to be said- it was there.Â
In his hands dripping with filth and violence, and on your face teary-eyed and thankful. In the lingering touches and glances the two of you have been sharing for the year youâve been a part of the Straw Hat crew.Â
Neither of you had to say âI love youâ. It was there.Â
Sanji pressed a kiss to the back of your hand.
âI made soup,â he said smiling at you, âGarbage.âÂ
You nodded, lightly laughing. It hurt your ribs.
âI can warm some up for you, if youâd like?â He stood up, preparing to leave.
âNo- Can you stay? Please,â you said.Â
Sanji smiled, âOf course!âÂ
You scoot over on the bed making space for him, which he happily took.Â
You laid your head onto his shoulder, and grabbed his hand. You felt him freeze up when you did, and laughed.Â
âYou just saved my life and saw me at my lowest- is holding my hand too much?âÂ
Sanji chuckled, âYouâre right. How about this then?âÂ
He brought a hand underneath your chin and you locked eyes as a smile spread across his face. He dipped his head down and pressed a kiss to your lips. It was soft, and chaste. Perfect. You placed a hand against his neck to prevent him from pulling away and deepened the kiss, slipping your tongue past his lips. You felt a small moan escape him and smiled against him. When you finally pulled away a thin string of saliva connected your lips to his.
âHot,â you said, giggling.Â
Sanjiâs pupils were blown wide and his cheeks pink. A few beads of sweat had gathered on his forehead and he tugged his tie loose.Â
âYou okay, Sanj?âÂ
âYes! More than okay- I just, I wasnât expecting that.â
You nodded, holding his hands.Â
âWell, I would like to shower and⌠I take it you havenât showered yet either.â
Sanji gulped, âUm, no. I havenât.â
You smiled, admittedly proud of yourself for flustering him out of his flirty act.Â
âWould you like to join me?â
Poor thing, he tried his hardest to maintain eye contact and keep up his civilized demeanor, but the steady trickle of blood that had started to pour out of his nose gave him away.Â
âYes!â he yelled, âMon dieu, tentatrice de femme, yes, please. I would love to join you.â
You laughed, getting up out of bed.Â
âMind carrying me?â
âOf course, my love!â
You smiled, wrapping your arms around his neck as he picked you up, âItâs nice to have you back, perv.â
He blushed, âWhat can I say? An offer like that from a woman like you is enough to fix anyone up.âÂ
He pressed a kiss to your forehead, walking you out of the infirmary toward the showers.Â
Kidd:Â
You were going to kill him. If you got out of this alive you were going to kill your captain and tear his other arm off. You knew that, one way or another, this heist was going to go wrong. It was messily planned, Killer hadnât been consulted, and Kidd was motivated primarily by anger and a bruised ego.Â
You sighed, somewhat resigned to your fate, and leaned back against the wall, trying to ignore the barrel of a shotgun that was resting against your temple.Â
âMind backing up with that?âÂ
The pirate holding the weapon shot you a faux-sympathetic smile, âSorry, baby, Captainâs orders.â
He trailed a finger down your back, causing you to struggle against the cuffs. He dropped his hand and laughed at your reaction. âYouâre disgusting,â you spat at him.Â
He nodded. âYeah, and youâre stuck with me here. So better watch that mouth.âÂ
Your wrists ached, it had been a while since you last felt the weight of sea stone against your skin. It was worse than you remembered. You could feel every muscle in your arms straining above you from where the chain that linked the cuffs hung on a nail. The first time you were handcuffed, the marines had caught you stealing but you were only fifteen, not yet a pirate, and lucky enough to have ran into a notoriously easy going captain who let you off with a warning. Those handcuffs were metal, tight against your wrists but not physically draining- if anything, you were only riled up at the inconvenience of having your hands tied. Sea stone was different. A naturally occurring mineral found in the depths of the ocean weaponized against you and other power holders. When you first felt sea stone a few years after, tight and heavy around your wrists, the fatigue stuck with you the most. How humiliating it was to not only be powerless but to have the will to fight drained from your body. Youâd only narrowly escaped and swore to never be rendered so powerless again.Â
Yet here you were, silently praying that Kidd would walk in soon. This heist was a bad idea from the start but youâd only agreed because you had stupidly assumed that Kidd had acquired accurate information. Your anger had somewhat subsided as you approached your third hour in captivity, it was too tiring. Hopelessness had begun to spread.Â
The entire heist was Kidâs idea in the first place. A poorly executed revenge plot that you and Killer had tried to discourage.Â
âThatâs them?â you asked, pointing to a group of pirates.Â
âAye⌠First year we spent in the New World those bawbags got a few good shots on us. Heat came out with a few broken bones and it took us around a month to get Victoria back up and runninâ.âÂ
âOhh, I get it. They hurt your ego and you want to get back at them. That always ends well.âÂ
Kidd scoffed, rolling his eyes at you.
âNo- itâs luck. They have the map we need⌠and a lot of treasure that I wouldnât mind taking.âÂ
âSee!? Ego. If this was just about necessity weâd take the map and leave. Iâm telling you that this is a bad idea.â
He sighed, rubbing his temples. Heâd had a nonstop headache since you joined the crew.Â
âAlright! Alright. Jesus, woman! Killer wonât say yes either way so I need your cooperation. No gold, no treasure. Weâll just grab the map and be on our way.â
âAnd by we Iâm assuming you mean me?âÂ
He flashed you a smile that made your chest tighten.
âAye! And if youâre caught they wouldnât hurt a bonnie lass like yaâ anyway.âÂ
âOh, Iâm sure. They seem like great people.âÂ
âDonât start getting smart with me,â he said, pulling out a piece of paper.Â
There was a diagram of a building on it, with a room in the back circled in red ink.Â
A thick metal finger landed on it, âHereâs where the map is. This building is relatively unimportant to it so they assign their lower level lackeys to guard it. Thereâs two guards outside each door, four guards on this one. Iâll distract all except the four by pretending to steal some other shit. Theyâll recognize me.â
âAnd I come in through this window Iâm guessing?âÂ
A window at the end of the hall led right to the room you needed to access.
âAye. Youâll be alright handling the four of âem. But you need to keep one conscious to show you where exactly the map is. Once youâve got it- run. Theyâve got a few devil fruit users in the crew and theyâll be at the scene fairly fast. From there we can bolt.âÂ
You thought about it. The plan seemed quite out of character. It was extremely unlike Kidd to avoid a fight even in circumstances like this. But maybe he had other reasonsâŚ
As though he read your mind he answered, âLook, if it was just me I'd kill every son of a bitch on that crew. But I don't want ya' getting hurt.âÂ
You sighed, âThis is a terrible idea. Your information is twenty percent reliable, at most.âÂ
âIf you follow my instructions and we stay near each other weâll be fine.â
âHm, so youâre scared Iâll get hurt, huh?â
You laughed, watching his brows furrow and his cheeks go pink.
âNo! Kind of, it's just 'cause youâre weak and I donât want to have to worry about ya'.âÂ
âYouâre still mad about losing the arm wrestling match to me, huh?âÂ
He scowled, folding his arms across his chest- refusing to answer.Â
âAlright, cry baby letâs go.âÂ
Kidâs information was wrong. The four guards were the devil fruit users. Youâd managed to knock two of them out relying on haki alone, but the two left were stronger. If only you could isolate one of them. Your devil-fruit worked well in close distance one on one fights, but you were mentally unprepared for this fight and the two in front of you were logia-users. You were badly beat up and struggling to stay on the offensive. Your dodges were growing slower and slower, your attacks weaker and weaker.Â
Fuck, you thought, trying to stay calm and think of your best course of action. You needed to get into the room they were guarding, if you could just create an opening that caught them off guard.Â
You reached for the pocket knife you kept tucked in your boots- it was a dirty move but it would have to do. You faked an attack on one of the two conscious pirates, before quickly changing directions and throwing the knife directly at one of their unconscious crewmates. They both ran in the direction of the knife to defend their crewmate, giving you the perfect opportunity. You slipped past the pirate closest to the door, shutting it behind you and jamming the handle shut with a chair. You had ten seconds tops- a chair wasnât going to come close to stopping a logia user. Luckily for you, they had made the mistake of assuming no one would get past them and left the map out in the open, on a table with a bunch of other papers. You swiped it, quickly rolling up a loose piece of paper to imitate the map. Right as you finished tucking it into your shirt you felt a hand wrap around your neck, your vision blurring. Damn it, you thought.Â
You could faintly hear the voices of the two, âWhat should we do with her?â
âShe didnât manage to take anything,â they laughed. A small smile settled onto your face.Â
âSheâs pretty, huh?â
You felt something heavy clamp down on your wrists. What little energy had evaporated, and you blacked out.Â
You were starting to lose track of time. Three, maybe four hours had passed? You had no way of being sure other than the burning numbness that had spread throughout your body. Your arms were aching in a way you never thought possible, and you had been taken to a second location, you were sure of it. If you were in the same building as before, Kidd would have found you hours ago. But there was no doing anything now. The pirate watching you had kept his distance, aside from an occasional taunt or revolting brush of his fingers. He was now settling in the corner of the room, silently watching you, his gunâs aim never leaving you. You decided that staying quiet and avoiding eye contact was the best course of action, and beating his ass would only be a thought worth entertaining once you were out of the cuffs.Â
âSo how does a pretty lady like you end up in a situation like this?âÂ
He broke the silence, much to your disappointment.
You didnât say anything.
He stood up, coming closer to you. Your stomach churned and you looked down.Â
âI asked you a question,â he whispered, his breath hot against your ear.Â
âFuck. you.âÂ
You heard the crack of his fist against your jaw before you felt it. It was dizzying and left your mouth bloody and aching. You winced, running your tongue over your now split lip.Â
âWhatâs your name?â
He tucked his gun into his pants. You braced yourself. This was going to be a long night.Â
âYour name, baby, what is it?â
You spit the blood that was pooling in your mouth onto him.Â
This time it was an uppercut to your stomach. You couldnât even double-over in pain. The third hit was to the other side of your jaw.Â
You stopped counting once they went over eight. You tried to think of something else, anything else. Killerâs baked goods, Heat and Wireâs terrible joke collection, Kiddâs latest invention or screaming match with you. Youâd seen them all only hours ago but your heart was aching. You missed them.
Your mind kept going back to a few weeks ago, replaying a memory you had been trying to forget.Â
You were headed to the kitchen, you remember it was warm out- or was it raining? You went with raining. You took more time than usual to make your way up to the kitchen, meandering through the halls and tracing the old wood with your hands. The sound of hushed voices caught your attention, bringing you to a stop outside of your captainâs room.
âWhy donât you talk to her about it?âÂ
Kidd laughed loudly, more-so to make a point than anything.Â
âAnd say what? I know Iâm an arse and not your type but Iâm madly in love with yaâ please donât kick my arse?âÂ
Killer chuckled, âThatâs one way to do it. Or, you know, you could just be genuine and tell her the reasons why.âÂ
ââCause sheâs a tough lass- and a bonnie one, at that, a bit too good for me, no?â he said. Your heartbeat was resonating up in your throat and your mouth ran dry- who were they talking about? Kidd had only ever taunted you for being one of the stronger members on board. Your heart contracted in your chest and a deeply unsettling sense of jealousy creeped its way into your system. You tried to shake it off- itâs not like you wanted your captain to be in love with you. You definitely werenât in love with him.Â
â⌠I dinnae Kilâ,â you heard Kidd continue, âI might be a mean son of a bitch but I donât think my heart could handle a rejection like that.âÂ
âYou definitely couldnât,â Killer agreed, laughing, âBut I donât think youâd get rejected. Worth a shot if you ask me.âÂ
Your brain tried focusing on other things, but you always came back to your captain. Hot-headed and irrational and eighty percent of the reason you were in this mess in the first place. He had you captivated. But it was enough. You felt yourself dancing the line between conscious and not and decided to savor these memories, these snapshots of a life on the sea. You didnât hear when Kidd finally came in, staining the walls with a spray of red blood as he tore through the man who had dared lay his hands on you. But when you noticed the lack of hits being thrown your way you looked up.Â
Kidd had experienced heartbreak before- many times, but very few things compared to what he felt when he made eye contact with you. If a heart could physically break, tear and twist and shatter, thatâs what Kidd felt seeing your face, bruises and bloodied. You took note of the red staining his metal hand. It was painted in multiple shades, light crimson to dark, sticky brown. Heâd been at it for a while.Â
He rushed to your side, picking you up by the waist and removing the handcuffs from the nail on the wall. Your arms had been numb for an hour or two now. You wished they werenât so that this release might have felt more satisfying.Â
You collapsed into Kidd, who kept his arm wrapped around you, bringing you into his chest.Â
âShh, Y/n, Iâve got yaâ lassie,â he said, voice wavering.Â
âKidd,â you said, wincing as you tried to sit up, âThe map-â
âDonât worry about the map,â he said, picking you up off the ground, âIâm getting you on board. Iâve already called Killer, heâs meeting us about half a mile away.âÂ
He sat up against the wall, legs spread sort and placed you in between them, your chest against his back.Â
âLet me see your hands,â he said.Â
You placed your hands in the palm of his metal one, shutting your eyes and he cracked the sea stone around your wrist. The cuffs fell off in pieces around you.Â
He stood up, taking you in his arms, âHow yaâ feeling?â
You coughed, the change in positions overwhelming you, âLike a million bucks.âÂ
âAtta girl.âÂ
Everything was muddy, your awareness, your vision, your memory. You clung to Kiddâs neck, tucking your head into his chest. His heart ached- you were scared.Â
âYouâre alright, Y/n. Iâve got yaâ,â he said, âWonât let anything happen to yaâ.âÂ
You nodded, but your body refused to relax. At any moment, you told yourself, you were going to open your eyes and be back in that room. Kidd was your lifeline, a solid, physical reminder that you were safe now.Â
Killer was understandably furious when he saw the two of you climbing on board, Kidd with some cuts and bruises and you, barely conscious in his arms. He was smart enough to put two and two together and realize that Kidd had ignored his advice. He was on the verge of telling you two off, but one look at your state kept him quiet. You donât remember much after that, as you fell in and out of consciousness. A feeling of disgust settled deep within you as your mind replayed the way your captor laid his hands on you, and was only soothed at the memory of Kiddâs touch. Of how gentle he was. The next four days passed in a similar fashion. You were much too out of it to know, but Kidd spent the majority of his time by your side. He established his longest arguing streak with Killer yet, by insulting all of the food he brought you insisting that âshe doesnât like that.â He made sure that you got new blankets every few hours, forcibly making Heat warm each new blanket. No one got much sleep until, finally, Kidd decided you were stable enough and retreated to his office to mope.Â
You woke up around an hour after Kidd finally left, and got up later that night after. Killer helped you to your feet. The feeling of the cool wood against your bare feet was relieving.Â
âWhere to madam?â Killer said.
âHis office.I have a word or two for him.â
âWhose idea was it, anyway?âÂ
âSeriously? Whose idea do you think such a stupid stunt like that was?â
âFair enough, but you were stupid enough to go along with it.â
âFair enough.âÂ
Killer dropped you off in front of your captainâs office.Â
âBest of luck,â he said, âAnd... I'm glad you're okay. You had me worried.â
You gave him a quick hug, âThanks Kil'.â
You opened the door, closing it behind you.Â
Kidd turned around to scowl at you. His prior softness already having been replaced with his usual attitude.
âCanât be bothered to knock?âÂ
Your hands balled into fists at your side. You marched across the room toward where he was sitting, and landed a heavy slap across Kiddâs face. He staggered two steps back and landed in his seat.
âOkay, okay,â he muttered, rubbing his cheek, âI deserved that.âÂ
âI told you! I fucking told you it was a bad idea and that your information was most likely innacurate. You risked my life and, even worse, your own. The crew couldâve lost everything, you selfish asshole!âÂ
He sat silently in his chair, avoiding eye contact with you. His cheeks were pink, one significantly more so than the other.Â
âWe should have called Killer like I said to and had another person with us- it was idiotic to have gone into that with just the two of us. Did I mention yet that I told you so? But you refuse to listen to anyone other than yourself, you absolute boar.â
The silence hung heavy in the room and you felt pride swell in your chest- youâd never seen your Captain so quiet before.Â
âThat was the stupidest decision Iâve seen you make in a long time,â you took a deep breath before reaching in your pocket, âBut it paid off.âÂ
Kiddâs head turned to look at you, confusion was plastered over his face.Â
You pulled the map out of your pocket and placed it in front of him. His eyes widened and his jaw dropped slightly.Â
âThanks for the change of clothes,â by the way, you said sarcastically, âI smell great.â
No doubt he had given up on the map the moment he saw you in that room. He took note of the bruises around your wrists and gently grabbed them without thinking.Â
âIâm⌠sorry,â he said, rubbing his thumbs on your wrists.
God, he could be stupid. But there was no one else youâd follow after as readily.Â
You crashed into him, wrapping your arms around his neck with tears pooling in your eyes.
âIâm just glad youâre okay!âÂ
You felt him stiffen, not having expected you to hug him.Â
âI was so worried,â you continued, âThat something had happened to you.â
He wrapped his arms back around you, sinking into the weight of your embrace.Â
âSo was I.âÂ
You heard him sniffling, and rubbed his back gently.Â
âCrybaby.âÂ
âIâm not cryinâ,â he said, voice shaking.Â
He squeezed you one last time before letting you go.Â
You stood up, facing him. His eyeliner was running.Â
It was quiet again, though this time it was much more awkward. Youâd yelled at him plenty of times before, but never had you embraced like that. Your pink cheeks now matched his. This time you looked away from him.Â
You felt a slight pull at the back of your neck and realized Kidd was pulling you by your necklace closer to him.Â
You obeyed and sank down into his lap. Your mind was telling you this this was abnormal, an overstepping of boundaries. Kidd was your captain and friend. You shouldnât be in his lap hugging him. But it felt so natural. Like the most casual thing in the world.Â
âI was terrified,â he said quietly, âThat I- That we might lose you.â
You rested your cheek against his, savoring how warm it was.
âCanât get rid of me that easily.âÂ
âOh trust me, I know,â he laughed, âYouâre a rather tough lassie.â
Your ears perked up at that, and very quickly went red.Â
âOh,â you whispered.Â
âWhatâs that?â
âYou were talking about me the other day.â
Kidd paused for a second, âWas I?â
You giggled.Â
âSheâs a rather tough lassie,â you said, imitating his thick accent, âAnd a bonnie one at that. A bit too good for me, no?â
âOi, oi! I was talking about someone else,â he said, his cheeks darkening several shades.Â
You pinched his cheeks, âWell, thatâs too bad. I wouldâve said that I feel the same way.âÂ
He perked up, âOh, yeah? Howâs about I describe this tough lassie and ya tell me if the description fits.â
You smiled.
âRight, sheâs about this tall,â he held up his hand to your standing height, âSittinâ on my lap, and just about the prettiest girl on the sea. And I owe her enormously for my latest fuck up because if anything had happened to her Iâd have gone absolutely mad and jumped right on overboard.âÂ
Your smile softened, and you stared at him for a moment.Â
âSounds about right,â you said.Â
âWell, then.â
You leaned in toward him and moved slowly, just in case. Just in case he changed his mind or wanted to backtrack or wasnât sure. But your lips touched and your captain showed no signs of regret or hesitation so you deepened the kiss, wrapping your arms around his neck and savoring how he grabbed onto your hips. The kiss grew more and more heated, his grip on you stronger and stronger. You pulled away for air, gasping for breath. Kiddâs lipstick was smudged, and he brought a thumb up to wipe it off of your lips. His hand rubbed gently up and down your back. Fatigue began to take over as you let yourself indulge in the comfort of Kiddâs presence. Despite having been bedridden for several days your body was still mentally and physically in survival mode. Only now with a strong set of familiar arms wrapped around you could you finally relax.Â
You laid your head down onto his shoulder, closing your eyes.Â
âTired?âÂ
âA bit.âÂ
âSleep, lass. Iâll carry you to bed.âÂ
And you did.Â
You woke up the next morning feeling more rested than you had in years, a thanks from your body for the break.Â
The bedsheets surrounding you were unfamiliar, not your own.Â
But the strong hand draped over your waist answered any questions you had started to form. You wiggled back until you felt your captainâs chest against your back, and held his hand, tucking it under your chin.Â
âMorninâ sweetheart.âÂ
âGood morning, Kidd.âÂ

'sleeping with them' ft. ace, zoro, law
just some silly fluff stuff
wc: ~300 (a very short drabble)
part 2: coming soon
Trafalgar D. Law
- he has to keep his tough guy facade so he pretends he doesn't like cuddling, but you know him better
- he doesn't move around too much but you definitely hear some impatient growling because he can't sleep
- that's his excuse to pull you next to him and cuddle you, he says it'll help him to sleep
- but if you want this man to sleep fast, please let him lay on your chest and play with his hair
- this is what heaven feels like to him
- he'll put an arm around your waist and bury his face in your neck and in less then three minutes he'll be passed out in sleep
Roronoa Zoro
- sleeping with zoro is both a curse and a bless
- when you go to bed, he's soft and sweet with you, pulling you close to his body
- once he's asleep, the man does not want to be bothered
- so if he feels you tossing and turning in the bed, he'll push you far away from he
- sometimes you even fall of the bed and he's not sorry for that
- he's mad for you to disturbing his sleep but when he see your grump face getting back in bed, he'll cuddle you again and drift back in his sleep
Portgas D. Ace
- during winter times, sleeping with ace was the best thing in the world because of his warmth, but during summer times...
- he's clingy af, loves to sleep holding you close to his chest
- he says feeling your body against his helps him to sleep better
- good luck getting out of his grip if you need to go to the bathroom or something
- his arms around your waist his legs over yours
- expect to wake up all sweaty because he is hot (in both ways)
- he drools all over you

How do the boys (Zoro, Law, Kid and Ace) try to impress the girl they have a crush on? How do they act when their love is around? đđ
I have just had a week of being uncreative so I hope I didn't get too rusty. And I hope you enjoy this <3
I made it gender neurtral. Law x GN Reader Zoro x GN Reader Kid x GN Reader Ace x GN Reader
Law
He scoffs at the notion of showing off in front of anyone., let alone a crush. Heâs not that kind of person. He doesnât need to put on a show to impress you.
Law knows his superior intellect and amazing devil fruit are all he needs to impress you anyway.
Without realizing it, heâll often info dump to you about the things heâs interested in, how to fix this bone, and how to treat that burn.Â
Heâs the kind of guy who needs you to know heâs the most intelligent person in the room.
That doesnât mean there's nothing there, his crush means alot to him, and he can come across as an asshole when they are standing there listening to him over-explaining things.
He knows you think heâs a fantastic fighter.Â
He doesnât ask you what you thought of his moves, though. Instead, he listens intently to the chatter around the Tang, basking in your indirect praise and remembering what you liked about his performance the most. As long as youâre watching, heâll aim to do better next time.
You are flattered he invites you to so many of his doctor duties, but you donât need him to over explain taking blood, plus the needles, no thank you.
Zoro
Most of the time heâs not the type to go out of his way to impress anyone.
Maybe around his crush, he lifts heavier things, making sure their eyes are on him while he shows off.
But heâll act like itâs nothing that he goes this hard every workout session.
When heâs resting, he flexes and gives you a little show.
Zoro thinks heâs smooth, but itâs really obvious to you.
How he smirked at your reaction when he picked up another weight seemingly effortlessly, though he could feel the strain.
He's the type of guy who is always lifting whenever his crush is around.Â
He was still acting nonchalant as you complimented his form, impressed with how much weight he was pressing.Â
He also loves to show off his sword techniques in front of you when a battle breaks out. His focus never wavers, but there is that little extra something he puts on just for you.
Kid
Heâs a show-off, and he knows it. He gets louder and more volatile than usual. He has to make comments loudly to get your attention.
He works out in front of you whenever he gets a chance, putting on a theatrical display of his powers just for you. Not just in battle but as a general: Look what I can do! He claims heâs just fixing up the ship, but he needs your attention and praise as he swirls metal around in the sky, making things appear from thin air and turning junk into treasure.
âGet a load of this,â he barks, smirking as his metal arm grows. His massive fist clenches as he eyes you up, greedily absorbing every expression.Â
âPretty fuckinâ impressive, huh?â Oh, you know he knows it is, but you humor him by agreeing. You see how he puffs up his chest proudly cackles as he sends junk flying, making sure you can see just how powerful he is.
Ace
Ace is strange, heâs both full of himself and lacks self confidence.
Heâs on the striker, enjoying the nice weather and playing around with the waves, just needing off the main ship, doing tricks on his personal boat.
âOh wow, Ace!â his attention snaps to you as you watch him.
Thatâs when he starts trying to impress you, knowing you like what you see. âOh yeah? Check this out then!â He calls, a big grin on his freckled face. He uses his fire to power the striker, going faster and faster, fighting against the waves as he pulls off more complicated and challenging tricks, all for you.
His attention is always half on what heâs doing and how the expression on your face changes with each stunt, getting more daring.
He loves it, loves your claps, adores how you gasp, knowing you care about him. Everything goes to his head as the tricks get elaborate.
He always tries to show off whenever you're around from that day forward.

CALLING THEM MY LOVE + ONE PIECE MEN
characters: law, sabo, ace, kid, killer, bartolomeo
warnings: not proofread, some might be a lil ooc so sorry!
trafalgar law raises an eyebrow at you. "did you sleep today, my love?" you murmured, hugging him from behind and pressing a soft kiss on the nape of his neck. 'hm?' he looked at you with surprise in his eyes. he turned around and pressed a soft kiss on your forehead 'yeah, i did'. in secret, he would think about that all the time and smile to himself.
sabo adores to use pet names to call you. honey, sweetheart, baby, angel, love, anything is fair game for him; he always says these things without being phased. but whenever you compliment him or use pet names to address him, he simply can't take it. "my love, where did you put my coat?". after you said that out loud, your shared place went completely silent. looking for your boyfriend, you found him in the kitchen, his eyes wide and focusing on a random spot on the wall. you approached him and his head snapped towards you, almost startling you. 'what did you just call me?', before you could even reply, he hugged you tighly and started pressing a lot of kisses on your face. 'my love!'
portgas d.ace smirks when these words leave your lips. 'can you repeat that for me?' he says, trying to hide in his voice the fact that he heard you loud and clear. "don't forget your hat, love". instead of picking up the hat from your hands, he simply stood in front of you; the widest smile slowly creeping up on his face. he held your face with both of his hands, his palms engulfing your cheeks. 'i love you, so much', he murmured so softly you almost didn't hear it.
"aren't you tired, my love?" eustass kid barely acknowledges you and growls softly at your question. if it was anyone else, they would take that as a obvious 'get away', but you stood still as the man took off his boots. "aren't you tired from running around my mind all day?" he groaned loudly and hid his eyes with his hand. you jumped on his bare back and kissed his skin. "i love you, grumpy." surprising you, he softly held your arm with his calloused hand. 'i know, my love.'
killer doesn't know how to react at any affection you show towards him. "do you want me to brush your hair, my love?", his baby blue eyes go wide and he almost starts choking on his own spit. 'l-love?' he reached out and held your hand, in a way that almost seemed like he was afraid to break you, 'pet names... do you like them too?'
bartolomeo starts dramatically crying when the words leave your lips. "have you seen luffy's new bounty, my love?", that phrase was like a bomb that you simply dropped on his lap and acted like it was nothing. his cheeks turned red and he started crying, trying to act like your words did not affect him. as he did a little dance, he watched you place the new bounty poster on the wall and he felt himself fall a little harder for you.

MASTERLIST
âââââââ
ZORO
The last thing Zoro remembered was his opponent managing to get within touching distance, a stupid move heâd thought but then they dropped their weapon to slam their hand against his chest. It felt like he was drifting asleep, his limbs were becoming heavier and his vision with blurring and darkening. Before all his consciousness slipped away the words of his opponent echoed in his head. âFind your Captain and kill him.â He should have laughed at that ridiculous order, should have told them theyâd regret the words from even passing their lips. But he didnât. He couldnât. There was only darkness and the absent feeling of his fingers tightening around the hilts of his swords, ready to take up the hunt.Â
He didnât know how long had passed, but slowly the haziness began to lift and Zoro began to process his surroundings. If he felt like he was waking, why didnât he feel rested? Why did he feel sore and tired. His fingers flexed and he frowned to only feel one sword in his hand. Zoro blinked and looked around in confusion. He no longer stood in the room he had been in and his opponent was nowhere to be seen. Instead he was now standing at the top of a staircase, his gaze drifted to the bottom of the steps and his heart stopped in terror to see your limp form lying there with his sword pierced through your stomach.Â
It was all a blur after that, racing down the steps and yelling as loud as he could for Chopper. Zoro remembered crouching near your form with hands shaking for the first time in a long while. What was he to do? What had he done? Was this how heâd lose you? He felt sick. This couldnât be happening.Â
The next thing he knew he was on the ship, a day later and sitting at your bedside wishing for you to open your eyes. He glared at his hands as he replayed everything. Being told that he was like a man possessed, set on finding Luffy to kill him. How you intercepted him and drew his attention long enough to fight while the others tried to find a way to snap him out of whatever power was controlling him. Theyâd been just a little too late it seemed. It sickened Zoro to see the bandages around your form, knowing the damage that lay beneath them. If it hadnât been for your own skills he would have certainly killed you.
âStopâŚâ Zoroâs head snapped up to see you weakly turning your head to stare at him. The pain was evident in your eyes but he was shocked to see you werenât looking at him with the hate he deserved. Sluggishly you placed your hand on his. âStop beating yourself up for thisâŚitâs not your fault.â
âThe hell it isnât.â Zoro growled getting to his feet but he couldnât bring himself to step away from the bed or remove himself from your touch. âThose wounds are my doing. I nearly lost you.â
âBut you didnât. I stopped Sanji from being the one to fight you. It was my decision and I held my own against you. You only won because I didnât know the stairs were behind me.âÂ
Zoro knew what you were doing. If he voiced any pity for you and your injuries or blamed himself it would be an insult to you as a fighter. With a long sigh he sat down again and curled his fingers to tightly squeeze your hand. Leaning down he pressed a long kiss against your hand, his good eye slipping closed when your free hand settled on his head. Zoro found it comforting and shocking that even with what youâd endured because of him, there was no hesitancy in your actions. Even with the pain you were in, keeping him calm and reassured came to you so naturally. âI swear I will spend the rest of my life proving that Iâm a man worthy of your love.â He vowed vehemently against your skin.
LAW
As a doctor Law was very good at severing emotion from his work especially when it came to performing surgery that one moment of hesitation could mean certain death. This however was something he didnât think heâd ever have to do. His hands shook as he tried to force his mind to focus and separate his feelings but it was impossible. It was you, heavily injured and slipping closer and closer to the brink where not even he could save you. He knew what needed to be done but he couldnât shake the feeling that his hands were tainted, that he shouldnât have the right to touch you ever again. After all it was his fault you were in this state.Â
Heâd gotten cocky when he was fighting a rival group of pirates and in that moment one had gotten the better of him and used that weakness to retreat, leaving Law to turn on his crew. He saw those closest to him as frightening enemies and he attacked with the intent to kill which was evident by the injuries heâd given you. Had you been anyone else, if you hadnât been as strong as you were the attacks would have killed you. Law couldnât help but shudder at the thought. For now he had to keep every ounce of his mind on you because he would not lose you, he couldnât.Â
When you woke, the pain and heaviness on your body was unlike anything youâd felt before. More importantly you felt fear. You were alive and as you looked around the room you saw that you were alone. You knew how serious your injuries were and if you were still breathing and Law wasnât with you, had he donât the unthinkable? Had he used his ultimate ability of his Devil Fruit to grant you life while extinguishing his? Just as you were about to get out of bed and find someone the door opened and relief flooded you to see Law enter.Â
Now knowing you didnât need to worry you sank back against the pillows and let out a small breath only to groan when the action caused pain to flare in your body. Immediately Law was at your bedside and at first you were going to smile but it faltered when you saw the coldness in his eyes as he checked you over. Doing only what was needed of his as your doctor and nothing more. Your eyes zeroed in on the surgical gloves he was wearing. When you opened your mouth to speak, he got in there first, cutting off your attempt. âSave your energy, youâve only just woken up. Now that your condition is stable, Iâll let one of the others take over for your general care.â
âI refuse their care.â You answered immediately, you might have almost died but that wasnât going to kill your stubbornness. When Law looked up to glare at you, you smirked in satisfaction to see his âheartless and distantâ facade had slipped momentarily. âI only want you or no-one at all.â
âNo you donât.â This time Lawâs voice was hollow, the shame of what had happened finally coming to the surface.
âDonât tell me what I want.â Your tone softened but the force of it was still there. You needed to reassure him that you didnât hold him accountable for when he was under anotherâs control. Reaching forward you took his hands into yours and pulled off the gloves, smiling to finally see his tattooed hands exposed. âThere thatâs better.â
âWhat I did-â Law began to protest but stopped when you lifted his hands to lightly press a kiss against his knuckles. How could you show such adoration to his tainted hands?
âYou saved my life.â Your answer was simple but clear that you would speak no more about it. âCome and lie beside me, you know I canât sleep without you.â Law gave a small, shaky smile and settled down beside you with the utmost care so that his actions caused you no discomfort whatsoever.
SHANKS
âYou really donât remember me?â The barmaid pouted playfully at Shanks as she set his drink in front of him. He kept his expression its usual one of friendliness and gave a small shrug to the woman and shook his head. He was an explorer and adventurer, heâd visited countless islands and met many many people. To remember every single person was practically impossible, even for him. âAw youâre going to make me cry.â The woman was joking of course and for Shanks it was a relief that his lack of memory didnât cause her any genuine upset. Quickly his gaze flickered across the crowded bar to meet your stare.Â
You only grinned in amusement at the attention he was getting. He was a handsome man and it was a daily occurrence that people would throw themselves at him but the outcome was always the same, heâd let them down gently and it was you heâd share his bed with. Still though outside of the long term members, not everyone in the crew knew about the two of you and you were both content with that. âCan I refresh your memory?â Shanks blinked and watched the barmaid slide into the open seat beside him. âI think once I tell you, your life will change completely.âÂ
Shanks had to admit, that was an interesting opening line and he wasnât really one to back down from a statement such as this one. So he smiled and gestured for the woman to continue. The barmaidâs eyes lit in excitement and she leant forward, her hand settling against his wrist and the second her hand made contact, Shankâs body became rigid as he peered into the womanâs eyes. âThree years ago you killed the love of my life. Now Iâm going to teach you the pain of such a loss. Kill your lover or if you donât have one then the member of your crew you care for the most will do.â Simultaneously the woman stood and left the table the same time that Shanksâ gaze locked onto your form again.Â
When Shanks finally came to his senses, the crew were back on the open seas all of them knowing that their Captain had been under the influence of a Devil Fruit. As the last thing he remembered came to his mind, panic set in and he hurried to find you, fearing that whoever that barmaid truly was had succeeded in making him do the one thing that heâd sworn heâd never do; cause you any sort of harm. Finally he came to a stop in the doorway of the medical room. His heart sank to see you lying in the bed, bandages visible and he dreaded to think what lay beneath them and your clothes. Worst of all was the thick band of bruises around your throat. While he felt sickened at what he saw, he could only find some small sense of comfort that he hadnât taken his sword with him to the tavern that night otherwise he might have truly killed you. âIâll leave you two alone.â Hongo told him softly before leaving and closing the door behind him. Alone, Shanks approached your bedside.
âOh, love what did I do to you?â Shanks sighed tiredly and heavily, flinching when your eyes opened and you looked at him calmly.Â
âNotâŚyou.â You managed out, your usual cheerful and soothing voice came out as a painful rasp. Shanks sighed, of course you wouldnât blame him. It was the woman and her unnerving ability that did this.Â
âI was careless though.â Shanks told you, becoming deadly serious which was a rarity. âThatâs not going to happen ever again. Weâre going to track that woman down and show her and the world what happens when they dare to target the one I love.â
MIHAWK
You knew Mihawk was a force to be reckoned with, the very first time youâd met your now lover had been an intense fight so you had firsthand experience at how formidable an opponent he could be. However after all those years youâd never expected to be pursued by him so seriously again and it didnât seem like seducing him or appealing to his better judgement would work in this occasion. Youâd both suspected that a few new recruits to Cross Guild were actually spies and had been proven right when youâd confronted them. Together you and Mihawk had taken down most of them but one managed to escape by using their Devil Fruit on Mihawk who was closest. Simply telling him âIâm not your enemy, they are.â While pointing straight at you was enough to make the swordsman set his sights on you.Â
While you were strong you knew you had no way of taking him on in this intensely determined state. After all youâd seen this man slice a ship in half from a measurable distance away, you werenât going to risk getting too close. Your only tactic was to keep your distance, block and defend if possible and hope there was a time limit to this annoyance of an ability.Â
As you ran down the street you looked back to see Mihawk was still hot on your heels but it was a relief to see he wasnât targeting anyone else. The last thing you wanted was for your lover to snap out of this state and realise heâd killed anyone who was an innocent bystander to it all. At least if you got hurt you had enough strength of will to endure it. You felt something change in the air and you turned sharply to see Mihawk reeling back to launch an attack and you recognised that stance all too well. You swore at the position youâd found yourself to be in. To lessen the force you had no choice but to throw an attack of your own and brace yourself.
Mihawk had never felt shame as a swordsman, not until he was finally in control of his body again to see the destruction of the surroundings caused by his attack clashing with yours. When he saw you lying bloodied amongst the debris of what was once a building he felt like never lifting his blade again. Hurrying to your side he felt only some consolation to see your chest slowly rising and hear your faint heartbeat. Taking you carefully into his arms he set for Cross Guildâs base and was for once glad of the amount of money Crocodile put into hiring the best doctors for the group. However the second he had you handed over to the medical team, he retreated to his room. It was because of him youâd been brought close to death, to sit by your bedside seemed like he was making it about him when you were to be the priority. Besides he wasnât a healer, he would have just gotten in the way.Â
When youâd finally woke and asked for him, the task of refusing to visit fell to Buggy as messenger. You rolled your eyes, youâd expected no less from your lover. He might have seemed like a mystery to many, but to you he was an open book. So you decided to sluggishly pulled yourself out of your bed and set about continuing your work. By the time you made it to your room and looking through bounties Mihawk appeared, angered that you were up and out of bed.Â
âAre you trying to reopen your wounds?â he snapped.Â
âDonât worry yourself about it.â You replied, forcing your voice to sound light and unbothered but the strain of moving so soon was taking its toll. âA building fell on me, no big deal.â You shrugged and regretted it, letting out a gasp of pain.Â
âIt very much is a big deal.â Mihawk spoke through gritted teeth as he took a few steps closer, while you continued to look through the papers in front of you. âPlease go back to bed.â
âOnly if you stop blaming yourself and stay with me when I ask to see you.â Finally you looked up to Mihawk and smirked to see he was finally in touching distance. You knew your actions were drastic but you had to be sometimes to snap him out of his worries. Mihawk let out a long sigh and gently took you into his arms, relishing the simple feeling. He would never risk losing you again, even if he had to destroy all of the Marines to make sure you stayed safe. Â

MASTERLIST | PROMPT LIST
âââââââ
ACE
Ever since you and Ace became a couple, Ace noticed that he slept amazing when you were beside him. The nights you had to sleep apart however, brought restlessness, sometimes strange dreams that left him feeling as though he hadnât slept at all, but it was worse when he had to suffer through nightmares. Tonight, he reluctantly went to bed while you had to stay in the infirmary while you recovered from a sickness. It was just a precaution to avoid you infecting the others but Ace needed more convincing than the others. He didnât care if he got sick and would have risked it but you managed to talk him around, promising it would be just one night and it would make you feel better to know he was safe and healthy. Reluctantly he climbed into the bed and pouted at your empty side until his eyes grew heavy and sleep claimed him.Â
âAce how do I look?â You asked him in his dream and he broke out into an overwhelmed smile, taking in your breathtaking appearance. You were all but glowing, dressed for a wedding; your wedding. Slowly he reached out to cup your face before taking your hand to playfully twirl you and take in your outfit with growing appreciation. Unable to hold back, he pulled you into a tight hug. âYou look amazing, you always do.â He whispered, pulling back to see your eyes light with joy as you you looked down at your outfit, smoothing the fabric into place.Â
âIâm glad. I hope Marco thinks so too.â You beamed up at him, unaware of Aceâs expression dropping into one of confused dread. Marco? What did Marco have to do with it all? He quickly snapped out of his thoughts when you quickly took his hands into yours and leaned in with an excited smile. âAce, will you walk me down the aisle? Itâd mean so much to me!â
âB-butâŚarenât you going to marry me?â Ace asked with a frown, his heart sinking when you tilted your head in confusion before laughing.Â
âAce, donât be silly!â You grinned, giving him a playful shove. âYou know Iâm marrying Marco, come on I canât be late!â Before he could react, you grabbed his wrist and hurried down a corridor that seemed unending. Finally the corridor shifted to reveal a filled room, your hand was no longer in his and you stood with Marco at the altar.Â
His stomach lurched and Ace let out a yelp as he landed on the floor of his room, tangled in the bedsheet and head swimming as he tried to let his brain catch up with the fact he was awake and what heâd just witnessed was a horrible dream. Scrambling to his feet, Ace bolted out of the room and hurried to the infirmary, hearing the sound of you coughing when he neared the door. Quietly he entered and walked quietly to your bedside. âAce? You should be in bed.â You told him weakly.Â
âNo, I should never have let you talk me into leaving you.â Ace said as he climbed into the bed with you, pulling you close to let you rest against him. His fingers lightly moved over your back, soothing your aching body while also finding your presence soothing him from the nightmare heâd had. âWeâre a team right? Through thick and thinâŚsickness and in health.â
âArenât those wedding vows?â
âAre they?â Ace asked innocently but you could hear his heart pick up speed slightly. âMust have been a coincidenceâŚâ
SHANKS
Before meeting you, Shanks never saw himself as the settling down type. He was more than content to live his days exploring and enjoying himself with a lover in every island should the mood take him. Then you came along and changed his life in every wonderful way imaginable. You were the adventure heâd been missing and hadnât even known he was searching for. He couldnât imagine ever being apart from you. You might have fallen for his charm and flirtatious smile first but he fell for your warmth and beautiful soul so much harder.Â
So when he dreamt of himself standing at the front of an altar, he knew you would be the only other possible person his subconscious would conjure to join him. Shanks felt excitement gather in his chest and then in a blink he saw Beckman appear beside him. âThis is a big thing, Captain. You sure you can go through with this?â His right-hand man asked with a grin before continuing. âI mean youâve never preformed a wedding ceremony before, will you be able to handle it?â
Shanks felt his excitement fizzle out and it was quickly replaced with confusion and apprehension. Yes, as Captain he would be the one to marry members of his crew but he couldnât possibly be the one to get married and preform the ceremony at the same time. It didnât make sense and as much as he wanted to know, he dreaded what the explanation would be because he already knew it wasnât going to be something heâd like. âBenn! Shanks!âÂ
Both heads turned and Shanksâ chest felt like it was going to explode with adoration and pride as he saw you hurry to them. He waited for your hands to reach for him but instead you merely smiled at him and hurried to Beckmanâs side, eagerly letting his arms wrap around you and hold you close. âSorry Iâm late but we can start now.â You beamed, your gaze settling on Shanksâ face expectantly. âWhenever youâre ready Captain, I canât wait to marry this man!â
With a jolt and gasp, Shanks woke to the calm, dark silence using the sound of the gentle waves hitting the side of the Red Force to help calm his breathing. He glanced to down to see you curled up on your side, your back against him and your arms loosely but just as possessively wrapped around his arm. Shanks let out a small huff as he silently laughed at his stupid mind for conjuring such a ridiculous scenario. Rolling onto his side, Shanks pressed a kiss against your temple, stilling when you began to shift. You turned as you began to wake, curling into his chest and let out a sleepy smile when his now freed arm tightened around you, keeping you close. âEverything okay?â You mumbled.Â
âNever better.â Shanks affirmed with a smile, pressing another kiss against your cheek. As much as he knew it was a ridiculous dream and that things between you both were beyond amazing, Shanks considered that maybe he was worried in some part that someone may take you from him someday. âPromise me you wonât marry Beck, okay?â
âWhy, you wanna marry him?â Even half-asleep you were still able to make a joke and help your lover relax.Â
âThe only one I want to be committed to is you.â
âGood, because Iâm not going anywhere.âÂ
âPromise?â
âI do.â
MIHAWK
âClown, what is the meaning for all of thisâŚfanfare?â Mihawk asked, looking around the extensibly decorated circus tent. Brightly coloured ribbons adorned the ceiling, flowers were displayed in grand, flashy, and quite simply ostentatious arrangements that just screamed âBuggy the Clown.â None of it was to Mihawkâs taste but it was clear the clown was up to something. The figurehead of Cross Guild spun around, dressing in a bright suit and his painted smile, spread wide in triumph.Â
âMihawk! So glad youâve arrived. We were worried you were going to miss the festivities. Theyâll be writing about this in the papers for weeks.â Buggy declared with a laugh, allowing his hands to detach from his arms to gesture widely as confetti seemed to rain down from nowhere. Mihawkâs eye twitched at the useless theatrics, heâd asked a question and wanted an actual answer. Thankfully he didnât need to repeat himself because Buggy cleared his throat and stepped to the side to show the altar Mihawk could have sworn wasnât there before. âItâs my wedding obviously.â
A wedding? This was the first Mihawk heard about it. As far as he knew, Buggy hadnât had a serious relationship in a long time, certainly not serious enough to warrant a wedding. So who was the clownâs secret betrothed? The answer came instantly when he heard footsteps behind him. Mihawk turned and did a double take when he saw it was you. The look in your eyes was filled with so much excitement and joy they practically sparkled. He began to reach out for you but you slipped past him and continued with conviction until you were proudly beside Buggy. Disbelief gripped Mihawk at the scene in front of him. No, this was impossible. Letting his instincts take hold, he reached for Yoru and charged for Buggy.Â
âMihawk, no!â You pleaded, stepping in front and stopping his attack mid-swing with just your voice. âPlease itâs my wedding day. Promise thereâll be no fighting. For me okay?â Mihawk snapped awake immediately and let out a sigh of relief to see he was in his own quarters and not a garish decoration in sight. Despite having slept, the nightmare he was forced to endure had left him exhausted. Part of him was reluctant to try and fall back to sleep out of worry of what other hellish thoughts his mind would conjure for him.Â
With a sigh he reached out your side of the bed and only now he noticed it was empty. Yet it was still warm, youâd only just risen but it was still late at night. Just as he was about to rise and search for you, the door opened and you silently crept in, pausing to see Mihawk was awake and watching you. Now seeing you had no need to be stealthy you smiled and walked back towards the bed. âI was getting a drink of water. Did I wake you?â
âNo, love.â Mihawk answered, holding out his arms to pull you close against him, his eyes closing when your fingers slipped into his hair. âHad an awful dream you married the clown and wouldnât let me cut him to pieces for it.âÂ
âHow strangeâŚâ You mused with a yawn. âAlthough Iâm not opposed to the idea, truth be told.â
âMarrying the clown?â Mihawk leaned back to look at you, unable to hide his disgust as the images from his dream came flooding back.Â
âNo!â You laughed pressing a kiss against his cheek. âMarrying you. Although people consider us married anyway.â Mihawk chuckled, it was true. Mihawk supposed now that it had been properly brought up, it was worth considering to finally propose. His golden eyes observed you carefully and saw your eyes were growing heavy. That was a conversation best saved for the morning.Â
KID
âYouâve got to be fucking kidding me!â Kid shouted as he looked at you standing hand in hand with none other than Strawhat Luffy, both of you dressed very clearly for a wedding. At his outburst you both turned to look at him in shared confusion. âHim? Youâre seriously going to marry him! Heâs a moron!â
âOnly sometimes.â You shrugged before smiling dreamily at the Strawhat pirate. âHeâs also super strong, and funny, and heâs King of the Pirates now so-â
âWhat? No heâs not!â Kid argued angrily trying to charge forward but every step he took kept him firmly on the same spot. This wasnât real, this couldnât be happening. You were with him! You had no interest in the pipsqueak Captain of the Strawhats like that. You werenât as shallow to only be with something because of their title, you werenât like that. You saw the good in people, youâd seen the good in him and you loved him. Of that much Kid was certain of. This just had to be some awful dream. He just needed to wake up and everything would be okay.Â
âKid!â Kid jolted upright with a yell meeting your bewildered gaze. âWhat is it? You were calling my name over and over. Are you okay?â You hesitated from touching him as out of fear he was still clinging to the nightmare he was waking from, not wanting to overwhelm him but you had to speak to him, to reassure him your were here. You watched as Kid steadied his breathing and reached out towards you with his good arm. Quickly you took his hand into both of yours and guided his fingers to rest against your collarbone so he could feel your steady heartbeat under your skin and feel the rise and fall of your chest, hoping he would copy the steadied breaths and calm. âIâm here, weâre safe in our room. What do you need?â
âKill Strawhat.â Kid ground out tightly as he calmed, his fingers flexing around yours just a little tighter to ground him in the reality. Finally he let out a long, heavy sigh and shook his head. âNah, heâs not worth my time. Just need you babe.â You let out a sigh of your own, soft and relieved to hear him speak and inched closer, smiling when his hand moved up to curl behind your neck and thread into your hair, pulling you in for a soft and gentle kiss. Parting he lay his forehead against yours, finding his ability to be vulnerable around you to be proof of the love you both shared.
âPromise me, even if that little runt becomes King of the Pirates and asks you to marry him, youâll say no.â
âKid, youâre the only one Iâve ever wanted.â You reassured him softly. âDonât care about titles or any of that stuff but if you want to give me a ring and let me call you husband if it makes you feel better we can do that?â
âDid you just half-ass a proposal to me?â Kid asked with a grin, all worries from his dream vanishing instantly.Â
âNot at all, Captain. Was just letting you know you can half-ass propose to me if you want.â With a laugh and a playful shove, Kid considered taking you up on the offer but now he had to wait for a while so that when he did propose, it would seem like it was all his idea.
KATAKURI
Another tea-party, another celebration filled with people and a feast of the finest food imaginable. Katakuri stood firmly in place, watching all of the guests and his family occupy the space, prepared for anything to happen. Like everything else, nothing would escape his sight and nothing would ruin his motherâs carefully planned party, he always made sure of that. Across the large garden he caught sight of the extravagant mountain-sized wedding cake and now he felt confused, he hadnât known this was a wedding. Curiously he looked around, searching for his siblings to spot who would be the bride or groom. But then that thought went out of his head when he saw you of all people standing at the altar at the top of the cake.Â
His heart all but skipped when he saw you but that led him to become even more confused. If you were up there and waiting to get married, why was he all the way down here and standing watch? He was madly in love with you and you loved him, so why were you both apart? Then you turned to face someone who was on top of the cake with you. Katakuri watched in dismay to see his brother Perospero take your hand in his and grin at you. Behind his thick layers of his scarf wound around the lower half of his face, Katakuriâs lips curled in a tight snarl and he gripped his arms tightly to control the mounting anger. Why was this happening?
From behind him he heard his mother���s loud laughter, delighted by the ceremony taking place on the cake she couldnât wait to devour. Katakuri lowered his gaze and took a deep breath, of course. Big Mom did enjoy arranging marriages for her children and this was clearly one of her arrangements but he couldnât help but feel the pain of how youâd been taken from him and he couldnât do anything to intervene. Worse still, you didnât even look like you wanted him to be in Prosperous place.Â
Katakuri woke instantly, his eyes snapping open and his mind clearing just as fast. As though sensing the change in his body, you stirred from your comfortable place on his chest. As you rubbed the sleep from your eyes and yawned, Katakuriâs hand fell over your back, making sure to keep you comfortable knowing that your mind was still hazy and body was still heavy as it clung to the need for sleep. If he reassured you all was well quickly, youâd fall back into your own pleasant dreams in no time. âKataâŚwhatâs the matter?â You mumbled, managing to crack your eyes open slightly to look at him.Â
âJust a bad dream. Iâm fine now.â Katakuri informed you simply, never needing to lie to you.Â
âHm, what kind of dream?â You asked, absently running your fingers over his chest as you listened to his steady heartbeat that always lulled you to sleep.
âDreamt mother had arranged for you to marry Perospero.â He explained, rubbing your back in response to your soothing touches. âI could only stand by and watch.â
âSorry you had to dream such a thing but donât worry that wonât happen.â
âIf mother demanded it, I couldnât fight against her wishes.â Katakuri mumbled, feeling his own mind grow hazy once more as your radiating warmth was coaxing him to sleep. He blinked when you abruptly pushed yourself up to frown at him in the dark. âWhat?â
âKatakuriâŚweâre already married.â You reminded him, lifting your hand to show the band of metal on your finger glinting in the moonlight. With a tired, amused huff at your husbands momentary lapse in memory you flopped back down onto your husbandâs chest.Â

When Their S/O Has a Higher Bounty...
Request: Hiii I don't rlly know if ur taking requests so sorry if ur notđ
but I was wondering if I could request head canons or just short fic of luffys, zoros, aces, and laws reaction when their fem s/o has a higher bounty than them but before they kind underestimated her(âĄ^â^âĄ) tyy
Luffy x Fem!Reader; Zoro x Fem!Reader; Ace x Fem!Reader; Law x Fem! Reader
Warnings: Slight language!
A/N: Thank you so much for your request! Enjoy! (Not my gifs)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Intro: It was a relaxing day on the Thousand Sunny, the Moby Dick, and the Polar Tang, respectfully. Each ship was on its own course, and each crew spent the day as they usually did, whether that meant games, chores, fishing, planning, training, lounging, etc. Around midday, like clockwork, a News Coo flew overhead their decks, dropping new wanted posters courtesy of the World Government. Some of the new bounties took people by surprise, especially your boyfriend.
Luffy
Laughs. Not in a condescending way, though. He is tickled that your bounty is higher. But he's also confused?
"She's not even that strong!" He says. Again, not out of malice, more like he is stating his observation. (Nami punches him for it).
You've been with Luffy long enough not to take such a comment to heart, so you play along. You smile and shrug, "Says who, Pirate King? You don't know what I'm up to when you're off on your solo battles."
He insists on sitting on the sidelines during your next fight. He cheers you on the whole time, complimenting your moves and staring at you in awe. He also ensures no one interferes, telling the rest of the crew that this is your fight.
You finish off your opponent without breaking a sweat. And before you take one step off the battlefield, Luffy is pulling you into a back-breaking hug. He wears his signature smile as he tells you every awesome thing you did during the fight. (He recaps the whole battle.)
Luffy's previous observation no longer holds any weight. He knows you are worth the higher bounty and is delighted to have such a strong girlfriend and crew member. After all, the future Pirate King deserves only the best.
Zoro
"What the hell?!" His eyes nearly pop out of his skull when he sees the numeric difference in your bounties. Â
He likes that you're strong. He sleeps better at night knowing you can defend yourself. But this bounty suggests you are stronger than him, which leaves his pride a little wounded.
In Zoro's head, he's supposed to be the stronger one in the relationship. The boyfriend protects the girlfriend (he's traditional like that). He also thinks about his goal of being the strongest swordsman. He doesn't like the optics of his girlfriend being better than him. Luffy can be better than him because he's the captain; he's supposed to be the strongest of the crew. But Zoro's girlfriend?
He'll toss the new bounty aside and scoff, "It's probably a mistake, a misprint."
You're offended. What was a moment of pride and celebration turns sour because of your boyfriend's bruised ego. You cross your arms and glare at him, "Maybe if you didn't step in on every major fight I got into, you would know this bounty is accurate!"
That's when Zoro realizes he's never seen you fight. He always interrupts your brawls, insisting he can handle it and that you should worry about some lower-level threats. He does this because he has this unconscious need to protect you.
When you stumble across a few enemies again, Zoro stays out of your way. He has to fight to stay put, but he does. He watches your every movement, noting what you do well and what you can improve on.
He does not outright apologize for his earlier, brazen comment. Instead, he asks you to train with him and show him a few moves he observed during your fight. He also helps you with some of your forms. (He has your wanted poster pinned up in the gym and uses it to motivate himself)
Ace
When he sees your higher bounty, he laughs and shows it off to his family. They're all impressed, some teasing him, saying, "And we thought she was out of your league before!"
Like Luffy, he's a little confused. He's got a smirk on his face when he sits next to you, comparing your bounties. "You're not even a division commander, so how is your bounty higher than mine, sweetheart?"
You rest your head on his shoulder, chuckling a bit, "Pops had me run a few errands while you were tracking Teach. I guess I impressed the World Government. Don't worry, you'll catch up sooner or later, hot stuff."
He laughs at that, still wondering what you could have possibly done to warrant such a high bounty. But as the phrase "World Government" sinks in, he gets anxious. A higher bounty means more danger coming your way, and he knows one too many people who would love to cash in at your expense.
He needs to know you will be safe.
"Fight me." "What?" "Fight me. Right here, right now." "No, Ace, don't be ridiculous." "Please, Y/N. I need to know you'll be okay while I'm gone. Please, I can't lose you."
He sounds desperate, and you can feel his heartache when he shares his fear of losing you. Not to mention, he gives you such a puppy dog look - it's impossible to refuse. So you, reluctantly, fight Ace in front of the entire Whitebeard Crew. And win.
The crew goes wild, and Ace smiles as you help him up from the ground. He then hoists you up so you can sit on his shoulder, a firm forearm gripping your legs like a seatbelt so you don't fall. He shows you off like a trophy and announces that this is cause for a celebration (and a promotion for you). He's happy you can back up your bounty and even happier that you'll be safe.
Law
He gets a migraine.
All Law wanted was a chill girlfriend - was that too much to ask? He wanted someone who complimented his personality and acted as a haven for him in this messed-up world. Sure, she'd have a bounty because she's associated with him, but to have a higher bounty than him? After all the stunts he's pulled? Why?! How?! When?!
You would have earned this bounty while he was away fighting Doflamingo. When he inquires about it (he holds up your wanted poster and glares), you raise your hands in defense, "I handled one or two incidents while you were away. It wasn't anything big - that bounty is an overreaction on the government's part, I swear!"
He shakes his head and sighs. A crewmate with a higher bounty than the captain, what a pain. What did you even do? You weren't that strong when he left for his Doflamingo mission, and he's been gone only a few months, what changed?!
So, Law asks around. He interrogates Bepo, Sachi, Penguin, Jean Bart, and a few other crewmates to get a better picture of what he missed.
Every single person speaks of your bravery. They talk about your ferocity in battle against marines and other crews that got too close to Zou and the Heart Pirates for comfort. You lead with such dignity and fury that it intimidated everyone.
"It was like you never left, Captain," Bepo commented.
As the pieces fell into place and the picture became clear, Law smirked. Who knew you had it in you? He'll find you later to thank you for assuming leadership while he was away. He'll then pry for the gorier details of your fights, wanting to hear everything from the source. He'll also tease you a bit as you share, wondering where this side of you has been this whole time. There's a prideful smirk on his face as you talk.
Law will hang your wanted poster up in his office.
