SYNOPSIS: Galdino makes sure Rose knows just how beautiful she is 🥰

"Okay, I'm ready!" Roseanne called from upstairs, her voice seeming confident despite the fact that she spent about 15 or so minutes staring at herself in the mirror and trying to 'fix herself' to look picture perfect, yet nothing seemed to quell her satisfaction.

Walking out of their shared bedroom with a soft sigh, she stood before her boyfriend, who had lifted himself off of the couch upon seeing her exit the room. Galdino's breath hitched upon seeing her outfit; a red dress hugging her curves, a black leather jacket hanging off of one shoulder, her hair in a high braid, lips painted in the red he adored so much, rose earrings dangling from her ears and red high heels that make her gorgeous legs look even more fabulous.

"Wow..." Galdino gasped, his hair forming a heart as he stepped towards her, taking her waist in his hands. "You look irresistable, my dear." He complimented with a lovestruck smile, planting a soft kiss on the bridge of her nose. Roseanne smiled a little bit before humming.

"Are you sure this isn't too much? We are just going to the movies..." She mumbled, looking herself over again. Galdino cupped her face in his hands, making her look at him.

"Darling, you are never too much," He reassured her, thumbs stroking her cheeks gently and feeling the heat rise to her face. Roseanne sighed, smiling and leaning into his touch. He chuckled, placing a soft, brief kiss to her lips before moving away and holding her hand in his.

"Shall we?"

"We shall."

They made it to the movie theatre and went to get some snacks, yet as they were, Roseanne felt a pair of eyes staring at her. Taking a quick glance to her left, she noticed a man taller than her lover staring right at her thighs, the part of her body she was most self-conscious about. The man caught her glancing at him and smirked, making her scoot closer to Galdino and stiffen up.

"You've got nice thighs, shortstack." The man suddenly said, making Galdino almost drop the popcorn he was holding as Roseanne gripped his arm, a feeling of unease washing over her. Galdino placed the popcorn down with a harsh thud, the poor lad behind the counter looking between the two men with concern as Galdino turned to the man.

"I would appreciate it if you'd leave my girlfriend alone." He spat through his teeth. The man rolled his eyes with a smug smile.

"Hey, man, I was just complimenting her thighs. I'm sure she appreciates it." Galdino's eyebrow twitched at the man's response, holding Roseanne close. He went to respond before Roseanne stopped him.

"Galdi," She spoke, voice barely above a whisper. Galdino hummed. "Can we just go?... Please?" The way her ruby red eyes pleaded up at him made it hard for him to disagree.

"Of course, my love. Let's go." He softly spoke, grabbing the popcorn he paid for and walking off with an arm around her waist. Roseanne could still feel eyes on her, but didn't want to look again. That didn't stop the man from commenting on her body again, though.

"Damn, those scars are pretty big."

Galdino stopped in his tracks, eyebrows furrowed in annoyance and anger as Roseanne tried desperately not to cry. She tapped on his chest and shook her head.

"He's not worth it. Let's just go..." She mumbled. Galdino took a deep breath and nodded, holding her closer to him and walking into the theatre. The man went to walk up to the snacks desk, yet he tripped and fell on the floor. Groaning, he looked to see what he tripped over and saw something hard and white. Galdino smirked upon hearing his groan of pain before he closed the theatre door behind them and took their seats.

As the movie played, Roseanne couldn't help but replay what the man said in her head, not to mention she remembered just how insecure she was already feeling. Tears began to fall down her face and although she tried to stop them, Galdino already took notice. He gently grabbed her hand and squeezed it, making her look at him. A frown formed on his face.

"What's wrong? Is it what that man said?" He asked softly. Roseanne shook her head, unable to bring herself to speak. Galdino sighed, already knowing that she was feeling insecure but not knowing how to help her with it. That's when it clicked. Standing up, he offered his hand and nodded towards the exit. Raising a brow, Roseanne took his hand and left the theatre room with him. She didn't bother to ask why they left the room, she was just thankful she didn't have to embarass herself any further. Yet when they reached one of the public bathrooms, she stopped.

"Why... Why are we here?" She asked, confused. Galdino squeezed her hand.

"Because it's an emergency." Galdino simply stated, slipping into the bathrooms with her and taking her into a stall. He locked the door behind them and gently held her, arms around her waist. Roseanne didn't waist any more time and hugged back, wrapping her arms around his neck as she began to softly sob into the crook of his neck. He gently kissed the top of her head, hands rubbing up and down the small of her back.

"What's wrong, my dear, hm?" Galdino softly asked, knowing the answer already but wanting to hear it from her words. Roseanne sniffed, shaking her head and refusing to say. "Come on, my love. You can talk to me."

"I-It's just," Roseanne finally began, lifting her head in shame and sniffling. She wiped away one of her tears. "I'm just so... Ugly today... And what that man said earlier didn't help at all..." She whimpered, refusing to look him in the eyes as he tightened his grip on her waist. His heart dropped at her words, a soft sigh escaping his lips as he dipped his head to rest on her shoulder.

"Do you know why we're in here?" Galdino asked, his breath hot against her skin, making her shiver. Roseanne shook her head. Galdino lifted his head and cupped her cheek in his hand, thumb gently rubbing over her bottom lip. He leant in a little so their lips grazed against each other's. Roseanne's heart skipped a beat, her body suddenly growing hot.

"Because I need to remind you just how beautiful you really are." He softly murmured, leaning in to gently connect his lips to hers, giving her time to respond. And respond she did, almost desperately. Her lips moving against his as Galdino gently pinned her against the door, his hands gently rubbing her hips in a soothing motion. Roseanne hummed, completely melting into his touch.

Parting for air, Galdino lightly pecked her lips before planting soft kisses all over her face, making her giggle as his stubble tickled her skin. He smiled, kissing the corners of her mouth as he dipped down, kissing the underside of her jaw and along her neck to find the one spot that made her weak at the knees. Roseanne softly sighed as he kissed that particular spot, tilting her head so he could get better access.

"You're such a gorgeous woman." He mumbled against her skin before kissing the spot and sucking on it, making her eyes twinkle and a soft moan escape her mouth, the compliment going straight to her cunt. He hummed against her skin, enjoying the soft feeling of it against his tongue and teeth as he lightly nibbled on it, making her arch her back, her breasts pressing against his chest.

Roseanne bit her lip as he moved to suck on her collarbone, desperately trying to quiet her moans as his hands now travelled down to gently grab her ass, making her rub her hips against his, feeling his crotch rub against her damp heat.

"Such a pretty woman," He spoke, kissing along her collarbones and moving south, soft lips pressing against the cloth of her dress and her skin, the sensation setting her heart ablaze. She knew exactly where his lips were headed, putting one of her legs over his shoulder as he got down on his knees. He softly smiled, gently lifting the other one over his shoulder as he looked up at her. "Good girl."

Rose whimpered, his words going straight to her pussy as he began to kiss her thighs and lift up her dress a bit, revealing the wet patch between her legs. She jolted a little with a small moan when he kissed the big scar that ran across both of her inner thighs.

"So beautiful," Galdino deeply spoke, kissing the scar on her other thigh. Roseanne covered her beet red face, attempting to close her legs, but he kept them open. Eyeing the wet patch in front of him, he sighed. "A Goddess." His fingers gently rubbed against her clothed folds, making her jolt and arch her back with a sharp gasp. A moan left her lips, making her slap her hand over her mouth as he began to work her up further, toying with her clit.

Not wasting any more time, Galdino hooked his fingers around her panties and tugged them off of her, the cool air of the bathroom hitting her heat and making her hiss a little. Galdino placed a long kiss to her wet pussy, the sound of her moan music to his ears. The feeling of him licking a long stripe along her slit made her moan a little bit louder behind her hand. A satisfied groan left his body as he looked her in the eyes with a mix of pure love and passion, the vibration making her legs tremble as she stared back at him, babbling his name softly.

Roseanne bucked her hips a little when his lips latched onto her sensitive bud, sucking intently, a choked moan leaving her mouth. The door to the bathroom opened, making Roseanne freeze as Galdino kept going. She looked down at him in a panic, his only response being a tongue entering her hole, making her roll her eyes back. As the person who came in flushed the toilet, Galdino picked up the pace, fucking her with his tongue as his finger began to play with her clit, making her loudly gasp.

"You okay in there?" The person asked. Galdino pulled out his tongue and smiled up at her before latching his mouth onto her clit and entering his finger into her hole, making Roseanne bite her bottom lip as she tried not to moan. Swallowing, she answered.

"Y-Yes!" Thankfully the answer came out normally, despite the fact that whenever he sucked her clit, the bud grazed against his teeth and his finger curled against every crevice that had her seeing stars.

"Alright." The person said before leaving. The sound of the door closing made Roseanne sigh in relief before moaning loudly as Galdino entered another finger, sucking harshly on her clit, the coil in her belly tightening tremendously as she began to reach her peak.

"G-Galdino!" She cried, bucking her hips against him to the rhythm of his fingers. Galdino felt his pants tighten by the minute, determinated to bring her immense pleasure as he picked up the pace, rubbing his teeth against her clit and entering a third and final finger. Roseanne almost screamed when she felt him very gently nibble on her hard clit, the moans leaving her mouth growing louder and more sinful as she reached her peak.

A pleasurable hot wave shot through her body, legs trembling violently as she finally came into Galdino's mouth and fingers, one of her hands gripping onto his hair like her life depended on it. Her love hummed in delight as he gently lapped up her juices, enjoying her taste as he licked her through her orgasm. Roseanne squirmed a little once it got too much, so he pulled away, panting a little and licking his lips before planting soft kisses against her thighs as she came down from her high.

"You always taste so delightful, my princess," He spoke, planting one last kiss to her scar before gently placing her shaking legs on the ground. "Do you think you can stand?" He asked, helping her put her underwear back on. Roseanne nodded, standing on her wobbly legs once Galdino stood up after cleaning the floor. He held her hip with one hand as she stood, watching as he licked his fingers clean before wiping them with a tissue and flushing the toilet once he threw it away.

"Was that enough proof for you, my dear?" Galdino asked, cupping her face with his other hand. "Or shall we take this to somewhere more private?" Roseanne blushed profusely, looking down towards the prominent bulge in his pants before she shook her head.

"Somewhere private..." She mumbled, fiddling with his shirt collar. He chuckled, kissing her forehead.

"Alright, my flower," He spoke, taking her hand in his and exiting the stall. "Let's get out of here."

Wax heart

This is a late birthday for @ztarvokwrites i tried my best i never written for mr 3 i hope you like it bby <3 

Roseanne kicked her feet back and forth as she was sitting on the wooden dock with miss golden week sitting in front of her. Roseann's hands moved through her long hair braiding the delicate locks together. " how does that feel Marianne " she asked the smaller girl. Miss golden week reached her hand up touching the hair " I like it thank you" Marianne stood up brushing herself off grabbing Roseann's hand " I want to show you something" she said staring up at her with big brown eyes 

Roseann raised an eyebrow before her face softened " alright what do you have to show me?" she asked as she allowed the girl to lead her off the pier and into the green forest. " it's a surprise" she said simply not revealing any more than that. Roseann shrugged her shoulders knowing how her adopted daughter could be " alright I can't wait to see this surprise  of yours"

Marianne lead them through the clearing where there was a big blanket laid out with all kinds of teas and desserts and sandwiches. Roseann blinked as they saw Galdino sitting on the blanket with a cup of tea in his hands. He waved them over " about time you two showed up, I was starting to think I had been stood up," he said with a cheeky smile

Roseann blinked " what's all this?" well me and miss goldenweek wanted to celebrate your birthday with you," he said as he patted a spot next to him " come sit, sit so she can give you her gift "

Roseanne was pushed over to galdino by the smaller girl " ah I guess she grew impatient" Roseanne mumbled. Marianne started reaching into her bag pulling out a rolled-up piece of paper handing it to her. Roseanne gasped " Marianne you painted this?!: she said in awe staring at the painted picture of her and Mr 3 taking a nap a couple of weeks ago after a job. 

Galdino peaked over " at least she got my good side this side," he said with a big grin on his face, an arm around Roseanne's waist  " you have a good side???" Marianne asked staring him dead in the eyes " hey! of course, I have a good side, tell her Roseanne!" he said sulking 

Roseanne laughed behind her hand " of course dear, all your sides are good" she said between laughter. He leaned forward whispering in her ear " I, 'll punish you later for that " he said before he sat upright " right time for my gift!" He said as he reached into the basket " close your eyes dove!" he said 

Roseanne smiled as she shut her eyes hearing some shuffling before something was placed in her hands . " open her eyes" The moment she opened her eyes she gasped spotting a red wax heart in her small hands. " miss goldenweek helped me paint it do you like it?" he asked his voice so gentle and tender with her 

" it's absolutely beautiful, I love it," she said holding it close to her body with the biggest smile on her face.  Galdino rubbed his head " I knew you would! it's pocket-sized so you can carry it on jobs with you " he said as he brought a cup of tea up to his lips 

Roseanne leaned forward their noses brushing each other her soft pink lips grazed over his lips. Before she connected their lips, they both melted into the soft everlasting kiss. Before they heard a loud cough " can you two stop being so gross" Marianne complained as she sat there chewing on a biscuit deadpanning at them.

Galdino gasped " well then look away!" he whined with a big grin on his face as he pulled her into his lap . " thank you two for the wonderful birthday gifts, this was the best birthday I have ever had," she said as she moved her arms around galdino and keeping them over waving Marianne over.

Marianne mulled it over before giving in and wrapping her arms around Roseanne and Mr three. " I love you both so much, my happy little family wouldn't have it any other way, now how about we eat or the food is going go to waste," Roseanne said as she picked up a sandwich which was cut into cute little animal shapes 

Galdino turned red before he ruffled Marianne's hair " she wanted to help so she made the sandwich's " he said shaking his head as he stared at the frog-shaped snack . "  those are so cute" Mr 2 helped me"  galdino made a face " oh god he's going be so annoying now " he said sighing 

 After the three of them ate and got their fill  Marianne stood up " thank you for the meal" where are you going????"  "I have things to do," she said simply leaving the confused couple alone . Galdino wrapped an arm around her waist " let's take a walk," he said as he started to escort them deeper into the green woods 

He bit his lip as he stopped them in front of a waterfall " listen " he said cupping her face in his hands "I love you, I want to spend every birthday with you from now on " he said as he crouched down onto one knee pulling out another wax heart with a ring sticking out of it " will you marry me?" he said

Roseanne's red eyes went wide as she stared down processing before she moved running wrapping her arms around him " of course, I will you idiot what kind of question is that" she said as she cupped his face up kissing him as he slipped the ring on her finger

"I can't wait to become Mrs galdino," Roseanne said with her hands cupping his cheeks up " me as well," he said pressing their foreheads together breathing in their sweet scent as they couldn't stop smiling.

galdino AND helmeppo being a bitch in heat once they bottom??? SIGN ME THE FUCK UP.

i will write helmeppo self-insert smut one day.

and star will top.

as for galdino... roseanne is a heavy switch, leaning more towards top. so yes, she tops him from time to time-

How do they sound in bed?

Characters: various, male & female Reader: gender neutral CW: nsfw content A/N: as you can see, I'm easy to be persuaded lol I hope I haven't disappointed anyone, I meant this to be very simple and quick, similar to my OP Characters Domming You list

nearly dead silent. doesn't make a single sound, maybe except some rare praise, question or order. only their breath and expressions can tell, if they are feeling good

Sakazuki, King, Katakuri, Izo, Lucci, Crocodile, Ichiji, Hawkins, Wire, Hina

naturally rather silent, keeps it to whisper, to their natural tone at best, if they feel exceptionally good

Jinbe, Mihawk, Wyper, Issho, Jack, Kuzan, Smoothie, Law, Newgate, Kalifa, Marco, Monet, Shakky, Viola

muffles sounds of pleasure, for various reasons: either doesn't like to be heard or prefers to listen to your sounds of pleasure; often bites something or hides face in pillows etc.

Brook, Beckman, Drake, Cavendish, Smoker, Kinemon, Vivi, Kyros, Dalton, Iceburg, Koala

talks all the time - either praising or dirty talking or enjoying conversation while doing the deed - but rarely moans; their speech gets sloppier and louder when they get close, though

Robin, Doflamingo, Queen, Black Maria, Nami, Perospero, Hiyori, Niji, Rayleigh, Koby

a classic moaner, neither too loud or too silent, just honest in the way they express their pleasure; very vocally responsive, easy to tell how they feel by the sounds they make

Luffy, Yamato, Borsalino, Page One, Who's Who, Cracker, Penguin, Kiku, Denjiro, Hancock, Reiju, Heat

a growling beast, literally; sounds they make nearly don't sound human, their voice drops really low and rumbles straight from their chest or deepest part of throat

Zoro, Sasaki, Bartolomeo, Kid, Bellamy, Enel, Jabra, Sabo

keeps surprisingly good composure when they top - but once they bottom, they turn into a bitch in heat and will be heard within miles

Sanji, Killer, Bonney, Bellmere, Galdino, Helmeppo, Kaku, Perona, Ace

jesus christ just gag them, unless you want everyone around to hear

Usopp, Franky, Rosinante (bless gods for that DF), Ulti, Shanks, Shachi, Oden, Buggy, Baby 5, Yonji, Apoo, Roger, Paulie

Galdino and Roseanne parenting Goldenweek/Marianne Headcanons

based on this image of a galdino figure:

and a small, funny convo i had in a discord server. enjoy?

☆.。.:*・°☆.。.:*・°☆.。.:*・°☆.。.:*・°☆☆.。.:*・°☆.。.:* °☆.。.:*・

Galdino is 100% the one that thinks he's the cool parent, but he's such a worry wart it's insane.

Also tells shitty dad jokes whenever he feels like it.

"Mr 3," Calls out Miss Goldenweek, who lets out a yawn. "I'm tired. Can I nap now?"

Galdino grins mischievously as Roseanne's face falls in existential dread.

"Hi, 'I'm tired can I nap now?' I'm Mr 3!"

Cue Roseanne smashing her head against the wall as Marianne gets up and leaves.

Whenever Marianne gets seriously injured, Galdino panics and carries her to Roseanne, who just stands there judgingly glaring at him for panicking when it's something he could've healed himself.

"She's bleeding!!" "Stop panicking, would you?! I'm trying to stop the bleeding in peace!!"

Marianne passes out

"..." "..."

Now they both panic.

Both of them are definitely protective parents, so after Marianne is healed, they go wild.

Like, they softly tell her to rest up for a while and they walk out and just nod to each other.

They come back stained in blood lol.

"You didn't have to kill them-" "Yes. Yes, we did."

Seriously though, hurt their daughter and they hurt you :)

Roseanne's the mom that doesn't know how to actually parent a child, but is actually a natural at it.

In fact, she was the one to give the birds and the bees talk to Marianne.

"...And that's how the honey is made!" "Really? I thought two people just had sex and that's how I was born." "..." "..." "...Who told you that?" "Mr 3."

Or so she thought she was the one...

Roseanne sweetly smiles before getting up. "Sweetie, I'll be right back."

When she finds Galdino, he better run.

"WHY ARE YOU HITTING ME?!" "YOU KNOW WHY!!"

I'd like to say that both Galdino and Roseanne are good at comforting her when she's down.

Like, she'd have a nightmare and Rose would just wake up and cradle her in her arms and sing to her while Galdino lights a few candles.

Literally, Roseanne's singing and Galdino's candles put all three of them to sleep in like a big cuddle with Marianne in the middle and Galdino's arms around them both, it's really cute!

And yes, Marianne does get forehead/head kisses, from both of them. Hell, Galdino gives both her and Rose a kiss on the forehead, but only when Roseanne is fast asleep.

Whenever Rose and Marianne fall asleep together Galdino just softly smiles and tucks them in.

So no, he's not the cool dad. He's the "soft but doesn't want to admit it so he acts tough" dad.

When Marianne naps and they have to move, one of them has to carry her in their arms with her head against their chest.

Both Rose and Galdino cook and clean, so there's that.

All in all, it's a very cute, very comedic type relationship, which gets awkward at times because at this point in time, Galdino and Rose haven't confessed yet :)

[ztarvokwrites]

hi!! here's my contribution to the @oplovelikeyou event! hope you enjoy!

SHIP: Galdino x OC (Roseanne)

WORD COUNT: 3,340

TW: Blood, Roseanne almost fucking dies, a lot of angst but with a fluffy ending :)

NOTES: RED is Roseanne, BLUE is Galdino, ORANGE is Chopper, PURPLE is Ivankov. Chopper is called Blue Nose-Sensei. No gane's this time cos I got lazy and I feel like that will ruin the mood lol

AU: Historical Boss Luffy AU/Grand Japan AU, because why not :)

It started with a small pink petal, a headache following soon after, making her stomach churn. At first, she just thought it was her head playing tricks on her, yet when Rose felt the soft scratching up her throat again, she coughed up another petal, the colour being tinted slightly with a small drop of blood. She swallowed hard. Roseanne knew she had to go to Blue Nose-Sensei about it, but she didn't want to trouble him. Still, even when a week had passed and the strange coughing fits got worse, she had to hunt down the little reindeer for help. 

“Flowers? Are you sure?” Blue Nose-Sensei spoke, a small brow quirked up in concern and intrigue as he read through multiple books. Roseanne nodded. “Yeah, flowers. It started last week when I coughed up one petal a day, but this week I’ve been coughing up more and more. It’s beginning to get difficult to breathe, too.” When she explained this, it clicked in the little reindeers’ head that this illness was real. Getting up from his spot and running to his bookshelf, he pulled out another book of diseases and scanned through the pages. He planted his hoof on the page he was looking for and showed it to the woman. “It must be Hanahaki Disease.” He simply stated, watching as her reaction of concern turned into one of confusion. “Hanahaki?” “Yeah, it’s an extremely rare disease. It’s so rare that a lot of people think it’s fictional. Here,” Spoke Blue Nose-Sensei, handing her the book so she can read it. “It gives you a brief description of what it is and it gives you the known ways to cure it.”

Roseanne hesitantly read through it, stopping at the words ‘one-sided love’ and ‘confess’. She swallowed hard. “Are…Are those the only options?” “Yes, they are. The only ways to get rid of the disease are to confess your feelings to the person you’re in love with or get the plant removed. Now-” “I want it removed.” Blue Nose-Sensei let out a choked gasp at her quick interruption. “W-Wait! You need to hear about the repercussions! If you get it removed you won’t be able to feel love again! Or it could remove your feelings entirely! You’ll be a different person!” He whined, gripping onto her shoulders as she stared down at him. Roseanne only hummed, turning her head. “Please just think about it! I don’t know if I can live with myself if I let a patient die!” Tears formed in his eyes as he begged, her eyes softening as she sighed. “Fine…I don’t have long to live, it seems, so I’ll come back on Monday to tell you my choice.” Roseanne spoke, getting up as Blue Nose-Sensei hopped off of her. The little reindeer let out a sigh of relief and nodded, saying goodbye to Roseanne as she exited his building.

“And where have you been?” “None of your business, Commissioner.” Roseanne spat as she walked through the door, closing it behind her as she sat down beside her younger partner, Marianne, who was sleeping. His eye twitched. “I told you to call me by my name.” “And I told you that I don’t care.” Her witty response made the man glare at her as he made food for the three of them. “The Kitsune is supposedly performing tonight, have you heard?” He spoke, a knowing smirk playing at his lips. Roseanne glanced between him and Marianne with her eyes wide. “Galdino, do not. Not in front of her.” She hissed, gently placing Marianne’s head on her lap. Galdino sighed, putting out the heat and plating the food he created. “Fine,” He began, handing her the share of food. “But you mustn’t skip this one this time. She was disappointed when she didn’t see you up there last time.” Roseanne sighed softly, looking down at the sleeping girl in her lap with sadness in her eyes. “Alright. I’ll…See what I can do.” “What do you mean? You are going to be there, right?” Galdino questioned, taking note of the slight panic her eyes held when he asked. She swallowed, a small, unsure smile painting her features. “Yeah, of course, I will.” Galdino hummed in scepticism, seemingly mulling over her words before muttering a simple “Alright. Eat now, before it gets cold. And wake her up.” “But she looks so sweet sleeping on my lap…” Roseanne softly whined, stroking Marianne’s hair. The man’s eyes softened, a sigh escaping his lips. “Oh, alright. I’ll let her have a few more minutes. But she must wake up soon.” “Yeah, yeah. I know.”

The evening had soon transitioned into the night, strings of lanterns decorating Grand Japan signifying that the festival had begun. The wooden stage was lit up with candles and lanterns and a spotlight was positioned to shine on the next act. “Ladies and gentlemen, we apologise for the delay,” Spoke the Announcer, bowing slightly. “Our next act is one that hasn’t been on in quite a while. Please welcome, the ever so elegant, the Kitsune!” Rounds of applauds and booms of cheers filled the February night air as the audience excitedly anticipated the singer to come on stage. “Are you sure you’re alright, Rosie?” “Father, I’m fine. Just worry about the performance, okay?” Roseanne spoke to Ivankov, her father, who continued to look at her with concern. Putting on her mask and opening her fan, she slowly stepped on stage and began to sing, the spotlight shining on her. Everything was going well.

Was.

A harsh scratch up her throat was more than enough to interrupt her halfway through the performance; a rather harsh cough ripped through her throat followed by a bloody flower falling past her lips. The music stopped as the crowd watched with a gasp as she fell to her knees, eyes wide in fear. Blue Nose-Sensei, who was in the crowd, put two and two together and quickly ran to the stage, standing next to her. “Roseanne?!” The reindeer whisper-yelled in panic. “Get me,” Roseanne whispered, another cough of small flowers escaping her throat and onto the stage, interrupting her mid-sentence. Ivankov got beside her to cover her from the crowd. “Get me out of here, quick!” At her command, they were quick to escort her away, following the little reindeer to his building and closing the door behind them. With haste, Roseanne ripped off the mask and ran to the nearest sink, coughing and throwing up flowers in a sickly sea of blood. Her knees began to buckle, feeling weaker and weaker by the second. “What’s going on?!” Ivankov exclaimed, rushing to her side and parting her bangs out of her face. “Are these…Flowers?” He asked, gently rubbing her back. “She has Hanahaki Disease. Judging by the sudden surge of flowers she’s throwing up, she doesn’t have long to live.” Blue Nose-Sensei explained solemnly. Ivankov looked at the little reindeer, tears welling up in his eyes. “Isn’t there a cure?” “There are two. One is to get it removed, but that comes with serious repercussions…” The doctor explained. “...What’s the other option?” Asked Ivankov, clearing out the sink and giving Roseanne a drink of water as she stopped coughing. “To confess her love for someone.” Ivankov froze at the reindeer’s words, his head turning to Roseanne, who just stared at the sink. “Love?... Rosie, are you in love with someone?” Roseanne only nodded, sipping her water. “...Who is it?” “...Take a guess.” At that witty remark, Ivankov gasped. “You’re in love with the Commissioner?” He asked. Roseanne nodded and silence fell.

“Rosie,” Ivankov said, suddenly and sternly, turning her around and placing his hands on her shoulders. “You must tell him.” “What’s the point? He hates me. Besides, I’m gonna die anyway, so there’s no point-” “Roseanne. Please.” Begged Ivankov, looking at her with fear in his eyes. Roseanne paused for a moment. “Fine… Just give me some time, okay?” “Roseanne,” Spoke Blue Nose-Sensei. “You don’t have time. It’s better to just tell him now rather than die not knowing what he’ll say.” “ROSE! There you are! Are you alright?!” Spoke a frantic, familiar voice as it opened the door. Turning around, Roseanne gulped as she saw the Commissioner himself standing in the doorway, panting as if he’d been running. Roseanne quickly wiped her mouth, looking at him with tired eyes. "I'm fine. Just go back home and wait for me-" "No! Why should I when you've given us all a scare?! You were coughing up blood and… Something else! How can I go back home to Marianne without you there knowing damn well that you're not okay?!" Galdino protested, moving closer to her. Roseanne blushed a little, just why was he being so caring? "If we go back together then Marianne will put two and two together and figure out that the Kitsune is me. She's a smart girl…" Roseanne trailed off, thinking about something she could do. "Tell you what, if you go home now, I'll meet you tomorrow under the cherry blossom tree. I'll explain everything then." She proclaimed, crossing her arms. The man blinked. "...What about you? Aren't you coming home, too?" Galdino's voice sounded desperate, words of worry painting every syllable and dripping into his veins. Something was going on and he did not like it. Roseanne could only look away from his concerned and confused gaze, her heart beating faster and faster by the minute, a tell-tale sign that she might have another coughing fit again. "I'll… Stay here for tonight. I'll get Bentham to tell you when I'm ready." She spoke with a sigh, finally meeting his eyes. Galdino looked her over for a minute, eyes scanning her body then to her face, taking mental notes on how tired and pale she had gotten, as well as the strain in her voice and the slight wheeze of her breath. He sighed, adjusting his glasses. "Alright. I'll tell Marianne that you're out somewhere," He spoke, before suddenly engulfing her in a quick hug, his arms wrapping around her and eyes taking a quick glance at the soggy bloody petals that decorated the sink. His breath hitched before he parted. "I'll see you tomorrow." That was all he could say before he left.

Roseanne felt her heart beat faster and faster, her breathing getting quicker and quicker before the all too unpleasant feeling of bile rode up her throat, making her turn around and throw up petals into the lazily cleaned sink. "I'll tell your brother about this, okay, my Candy? Just take it easy." Ivankov softly comforted her, holding her bangs out of her face for her as she threw up roses in a sea of lotus flower petals and a bath of red blood. Blue Nose-Sensei swallowed hard. "She's coughing up real flowers now. Roses and Lotus flowers have formed. If you don't tell him soon, you won't ever get the chance to again…" He spoke, his tiny voice only getting smaller. Roseanne coughed and sputtered up the last remaining flowers with a quick nod, spitting out a single petal that didn't make it out of her mouth. "Yeah, I know that. That's why I'm gonna tell him tomorrow." She responded with a swift nod. The little reindeer nodded, telling her to lay down and get some rest in his building for the time being.

Roseanne had some trouble sleeping through the night, her coughing fits becoming more violent and alerting the little reindeer that slept across from her. She ended up getting little to no sleep, watching the sunrise through the open window as she coughed and threw up flowers into a bucket. “Today’s the day.” She mumbled to herself, taking a swig of her water and wincing as it cooled her aching throat. “Blue Nose-Sensei,” She spoke, her voice barely above a whisper but luckily the little reindeer was able to hear, turning his head to her. “Promise me you won’t tell Marianne about…All of this. Knowing her, she’ll put two and two together almost immediately and come running here to find me.” The reindeer sighed, nodding before he told her to hurry and go. And go she did.

The sun shone through the leaves of the cherry blossom tree, illuminating the gaps in the shadows of the early morning light, as well as the small drops of blood that Rose had desperately tried to cover up with the leaves and dirt on the ground. But the coughing was inevitable.

“Roseanne, I’m here…!” Galdino paused halfway through his sentence, his eyes widening as he saw Roseanne’s body limp on the ground, her chest heaving and jolting as she hacked up flowers covered in blood and spit, her kimono and olive skin stained in red. With no time to waste, he rushed to her side and helped her sit upright, resting her back against the tree, moving the parts of blood-stained hair away from her face. Almost immediately, he took note of the flower petals that stuck to her mouth, the bags under her eyes and the paleness of her once tanned skin. At the corner of his eye, he noticed the flowers that had fallen from her now dry lips, the blood still dripping from her bottom lip and onto her kimono. Her face felt lukewarm to the touch, almost like she was dying. “R…Rose…?” “I know you saw the flowers,” Roseanne spoke, her voice weak. Her ruby red eyes lost their sparkle as she looked at him tiredly, a small smile faintly plastering her lips.

“...Of course I saw the flowers! Rose, what’s going on?!” Galdino exclaimed, his eyes glossy as if he was about to cry. Slowly, Roseanne reached up and placed her bloodied hand on top of his. “I’m…I’m sorry that I…Didn’t tell you sooner. I wanted to get it removed but Blue Nose-Sensei talked me out of it-!!” She stopped speaking as another fit of violent coughs escaped her mouth, larger flowers and blood spurting from her mouth and getting on Galdino’s sleeves. The man looked on in horror, a mumble of her name escaping his mouth. “Rose…? What are you talking about?” “I don’t have…Long to live…As you can probably tell,” She spoke, her voice raspy. "So do me a favor, okay?" Galdino cupped her face in his hands, fear prominent in his eyes. "Tell Marianne that I've gone to a different country." Her request made Galdino freeze, eyebrows furrowing. "No...No, no, no! Roseanne, don't do this!" "I'm sorry, I never got the proper chance to say…!" The man flinched a little when her coughing came back, more aggressively this time, her body jolting forwards into his own and thorns from roses making her choke as she had to weakly pull it out. Roseanne gasped a breath of air before continuing, her voice barely above a whisper as Galdino held her in his arms, her head craning to meet his teary eyes, his tears rolling down his cheeks as he watched her bright eyes get more dull by the minute. "I love you." He almost didn't hear it, her voice barely audible above the rustling of the leaves against the gentle wind, the way she looked up at him in her final moments made his heart stop momentarily. Galdino both heard and felt the deafening pounding of his heart in his ears, blurry eyes watching the glimmer in her eyes falter rapidly as she grew limp in his arms.

"ROSE!!" He screamed, the '3' on his hair drooping down as he shook her, desperately trying to wake her up as tears rapidly fell from her eyes. "ROSE, PLEASE!" He could feel his voice cracking, his throat becoming sore as he screamed her name through broken sobs. Almost immediately, the tiny thud of hooves alerted him, his head turning to the little reindeer with wide, desperate eyes. "...Help her...Please…" Blue Nose-Sensei solemnly walked up to Roseanne's limp body, putting a hoof to the side of her neck with a bit of pressure for a minute before sighing. "Her pulse is weak and I can hear her faintly breathing, but without a cure she'll surely die." "Can't you do something about it?!" Galdino exclaimed, raising a brow. Blue Nose-Sensei shook his head, turning to look at the bloody flowers. Galdino blinked, his bottom lip trembling as he bit it, taking a glance at the flowers before looking down at the limp woman he was embracing, his tears falling onto the inside of his glasses. "...Rose, please...Marianne needs you; she told me she thinks of you as her mother!" He began, shaking her lightly. "You have an audience and a family that needs you, that loves you!" His heart hammered with fear. "We need you...We love you!" He swallowed hard, a hand cupping her cheek as he leant his forehead on hers, the coldness of her skin making him hiss lightly as he whispered, "Rose, I love you…"

Upon hearing this, the little reindeer turned and walked back up to her body, putting his hoof on her neck and leaning his ear towards her mouth. He smiled. "They're...They're gone! Quick, carry her to my place! I'll explain everything on the way there!" 

A small, weak groan escaped her lips as her ruby eyes slowly fluttered open. She tried to get up, but she felt something holding her hand, making her freeze and look to see who was holding it. There, with his head on her shoulder, laid Galdino, his glasses off and hair down as soft snores escaped his lips. She noticed the tear stains on his cheeks and the blood stains on his kimono, instantly remembering what had happened. A guilt consumed her mind, looking back to where their hands connected. Subconsciously, she squeezed his hand gently, feeling his body tense a little and stir as he began to wake up. Almost immediately, his tired eyes darted to their linked hands, trailing up her arm and meeting her eyes. His eyes widened upon seeing her smile weakly. "Hi." She softly spoke before Galdino embraced her in a hug that she hesitantly accepted, her arms wrapping around his neck and shoulder as he breathed heavily, trying not to cry again as his hands gripped onto the fabric of her clean kimono. 

"Don't you ever do that to me again!" He hissed, his voice wavering as he pulled away from the hug to look her in the eyes. Roseanne looked away, her eyes focussed on the floor as she spoke. "I'm sorry. I-!!" His hand tilted her chin up to meet his intense gaze before smashing his lips onto hers, not caring that they were dry and pouring all of his emotions into the kiss, the sheer force sending her onto her back with him on top of her. The kiss softened, his hands cupping her face as if she was a porcelain doll when she broke out of her shock and kissed back. The air grew thinner and thinner until they decided to part, their faces close together as they caught their breath, looking into each other's eyes. 

Galdino's eyes sparkled when he saw the familiar shine in her eyes grow bigger and brighter, until he realised she had begun to cry. Before he could apologise for being too forward, Roseanne leant up and planted her lips onto his, surprising him for a moment before he kissed back. They parted for air, small pecks on the lips from Galdino as she mumbled a few 'I love you's and 'Sorry's. He sat her up and held her in his arms, planting kisses wherever he could. "I'm just glad you're alive, my love. The reindeer told me everything." His nickname for her made her blush, snuggling into him with a small smile. "So am I." She said after a while, kissing his cheek and wrapping her arms around him.

"...Want to go home?" "Yes, please." "I think that's the first time you've ever said that word to me." "Oh, shush!"

Keeping You Warm

thank god for neocities prompt sites

CHARACTERS: Roseanne (OC), Galdino.

WARNINGS: NSFW, very very soft NSFW <3

SYNOPSIS: It's cold on the Big Top and Galdino knows just how to keep his Rose warm~

☆.。.:*・°☆.。.:*・°☆.。.:*・°☆.。.:*・°☆☆.。.:*・°☆.。.:* °☆.。.:*・

Freezing was too gentle of a word for the cold that the crew was experiencing. As they reached  - or tried to reach - a winter island, the ocean suddenly froze. Thus, so did the Big Top. Most of the crew huddled together while most had blankets to themselves. Poor Richie was being used as some sort of heat source because of his fur; there were enough crewmates around him to make some crude human coats. Roseanne shivered, red eyes piercing through Richie’s innocent soul in a demanding glare, making the giant lion whimper. “Richie,” She commanded, trying to sound as innocent as possible. “Be a good boy and let me cuddle your fur? Just for a little bit?” Richie rapidly shook his head in fear, shaking as he slowly took a step back. Roseanne grumbled a string of curses under her breath, watching the huff of clouds that escaped her lips with a frustrated frown.

Not only was she cold, but she also had no one to cuddle up with. Galdino had left with Buggy and a few others to find some proper shelter while she and Alvida had to stay behind to babysit the crew. A few minutes, they said. Yet, an hour or two had passed and they still hadn't arrived. Alvida sat down next to her on the deck, shivering violently as she clutched her coat around her. “It’s been two damn hours,” The taller woman spat, tucking her knees into her chest. “Where the fuck are they?!” As if on cue, a loud maniacal laugh sounded through the air, making everyone look up. In the air above them hovered their captain with Galdino on top of him. Roseanne let out a sigh of relief as she slowly stood up. “Everyone, listen up! We haven’t found shelter yet, but there’s an abandoned village over there with thick blankets! Everyone, loot!!” Buggy chanted the order like the eccentric captain he was. Roseanne deadpanned, eyes losing the last glimmer of hope they had left in them.

Alvida kicked the mast of the ship in a fit of anger and stomped below deck as Roseanne’s deadpan expression soon turned even more sour. Buggy flew down to let Galdino off of his back before flying off with the hoard of devoted followers joining him. The candle man walked up to Roseanne, clutching the blanket over his shoulders as he slightly gulped at his girlfriend’s harsh glare. “So, you’re telling me that Alvida and I, along with the rest of the crew, had to wait an hour for you just to come back and tell us that there’s basically no shelter and only blankets?!” Roseanne angrily exclaimed, shaking like a leaf. Galdino sighed, putting his blanket over hers and wrapping them both up in it as they walked towards their cabin. “Unfortunately, yes. I’m sorry, Rose, but the abandoned village there had huts that were quite literally rotting away. There was no way we could use them.” He explained, his arms wrapping around her tightly as Roseanne opened the door to their cabin. They both walked in, a sigh escaping the female’s lips as she sat down on the bed.

Galdino hurriedly sat down next to her after shutting the door, rapidly wrapping her in his arms again and shaking in each other’s embrace. “Well, that’s just peachy,” Spat his girlfriend, gritting her teeth. “It’s fucking cold inside, it’s fucking freezing outside, and all we have are fucking blankets.” Galdino pulled her in a little bit closer as he laid down on the bed with her. “Isn’t there any way to get warm in this ship?!” Roseanne ranted, her anger making her violently shake more than she already was. Galdino thought for a moment, absentmindedly placing a soft kiss on her forehead to calm her down, making her squirm a little. That’s when he got the idea, a soft blush forming on his cheeks as he began to speak. “There is,” He started, making Roseanne look up at him quizzically. “But only if you’re up for it…” He trailed off, a small smirk on his face as he patiently waited for Roseanne to get the hint, which took her longer than he’d thought. With a sigh, he cupped her face in his hands and gently captured her lips with his own, sending waves of shock down her spine. Roseanne’s face began to burn as he pulled away to gently kiss her cheeks and down to her jawline, lightly sucking at the skin there before moving along her neck. She swallowed. “What...What are you...?” Roseanne stammered softly, feeling her body temperature rise little by little.

Galdino pulled away to look into her eyes, taking his glasses off and putting them on the bedside table as he did so. “I’m warming you up, my Rose. You’re ever so cold.” He responded truthfully with a seductive undertone. He waited again for a sign of protest, but when he felt her shift in his lap to straddle his waist, he continued his ministrations. Soft mewls escaped her now lukewarm lips as she felt his teeth softly nip at her flesh, creating small, unnoticeable lovebites on her neck. A soft gasp emitted from her mouth as he nipped a sensitive spot, his hands quickly encircling her waist to bring her closer. She could feel his smirk against her skin as he kissed and licked the spot before placing his lips over it and gently sucking, making Roseanne tilt her head to the side and softly moan. Her sounds were more than enough to make Galdino hot under the collar, his dick at a semi already without her even touching him. Roseanne quickly became needy, rolling her hips against his own to feel his clothed cock rubbing against her heat, making him groan slightly as he stopped giving her hickeys and captured her lips again, this time with more passion.

Roseanne hummed in pleasure, wrapping her arms around his neck and running her fingers through his hair, deepening the kiss. Galdino’s hands travelled down to her ass, slipping his cold fingers under her skirt to gently grope her ass, making her gasp into the kiss and giving his tongue access to her mouth. He groaned softly into her mouth as he felt her tug on his hair, wanting it all to come undone so she could feel the soft strands beneath her fingertips. It was almost as if he was telepathic, the way he broke from the kiss to remove the wax and hair ties from his hair, letting his long, black locks fall in front of his face. Roseanne brushed the hair from his face and gave him the softest look of love and lust, the red glow in her eyes almost making him melt.

She then went straight for his lips again, not forgetting how horny they both quickly became as she felt his hard cock against her heat as she moved. A moan escaped their lips as Galdino parted from the kiss again, flipping Roseanne over on the bed and gently beginning to remove her shirt, his lips finding the other side of her neck once more and sucking lightly as the cold tips of his fingers created goosebumps on her skin. She shivered, soft whines escaping her throat as he gently lifted the shirt off of her, helping her to sit up as she lifted her arms to get the shirt off before laying back down again with Galdino still on top of her, his hands now beginning to wonder. One hand settled on her hip as one rested gently on her breast, still covered by her bra, his lips trailing down to her collarbone as he kissed, squeezing her boob lightly to make a small, yet slightly louder moan emit from her mouth.

Roseanne, getting slightly impatient, lifted her torso up, signalling her boyfriend to take the bra off already. He softly chuckled, lifting his head to meet her eyes before leaning down to kiss the underside of her jaw, making a sigh escape her lips. “Patience, my dear. I’m warming you up, remember?” His soft sultry tone made her legs feel like jelly as his hand softly trailed along her spine, her goosebumps getting more prominent as the movement progressed. Galdino drank in all the sweet sighs and moans as he continued to worship her body, his lips now kissing her chest as his hand worked on getting her bra off.

A sudden chill hit her chest like a truck as her bra was removed, the cold air making her nipples harden and a soft hiss leave her lips as he kissed her now exposed breasts. A moan emitted from her mouth as Galdino’s mouth latched onto one of her hardened nipples, lightly sucking them as his left hand began to fondle the other. She was so focused on the sensation that she failed to notice his second hand sneakily travelling down to the waistband of her skirt, sliding under to feel just how soaked she was through her panties. A smirk was plastered on his face as he removed himself from her breast, kissing it again before moving his lips along her valley. “You’re so wet already and I’ve barely even started,” Galdino mumbled against her skin, kissing her other boob as she softly whined. Roseanne jolted slightly as he felt his fingers rub her folds through the cloth, her wetness beneath his fingertips making him grin slightly as he heard her softly moan a curse under her breath. The cold air quickly became warm, his fingers expertly guiding themselves along her slit as his mouth sucked on her other breast, strings of moans escaping her mouth as she arched her back up off the bed.

Galdino’s other hand gently pressed her back down onto the mattress, lifting his head to gently smile down at her, cupping her cheek in his hand and stroking it with his thumb all while looking her in the eyes as she softly moaned, the twinkle in his eyes silently telling her what he was going to do next as he softly kissed a trail down her body, starting with her lips, then her neck - in which he left a small hickey and love bite. A small smile painted her face as she enjoyed the feeling of his soft lips travelling down her skin, going lower and lower as he gently pulled off her skirt. Once his lips passed her navel, he tossed the skirt on the floor and removed his fingers from her folds, leaning back on his heels to see just how soaked she was - the wet patch visible in the candlelight. Roseanne didn’t know when he made candles, nor did she care as she saw his sly smirk grow on his lips, making her flower blossom. 

His fingers curled under the waistband of her panties, his eyes darting between the article of clothing and her face. She thought it was sweet that he was basically asking for permission as she smirked. “You didn’t get me all worked up for nothing, you know~” Roseanne cooed, wriggling her hips a little. Galdino chuckled softly, gently pulling down her panties. “You aren’t wrong. Just lay down and I’ll take care of you, my dear.” He softly spoke, his voice an octave or two lower, making tingles go down her spine. The panties were swiftly discarded onto the floor, Roseanne shivering at the sudden cold that hit her wet pussy. She jolted as she felt lips against her thighs, kissing, sucking and biting each one gently, making her mewl. Galdino hummed as he gently sucked the space between her pussy and inner thigh, her hips jutting ever so slightly in impatience, making him hold her hips still in his hands. When he finally got to her folds, Roseanne let out a choked moan; his lips kissing them and tongue pushing past them to get a taste of her.

Galdino hummed in delight, the vibration making Roseanne moan a little louder as he softly made love to her with his mouth, sucking her folds and teasing her hole with his tongue. She could scarcely feel his moustache tickling her clit ever so slightly as he ate her out, making her arch her back with a loud gasp as she suddenly felt his tongue enter her, the wet muscle moving in such a way that had her practically begging for more, his name leaving her tongue like a prayer. With a smirk on his lips, he placed his mouth directly on her painfully hard clit and sucked, making her walls clench around his tongue as she loudly moaned his name in ecstasy. 

“Ah! Mi Amor! Fuck!” She squealed, not even caring if the others heard her as her thighs quivered around his head. Removing his tongue, he focused his mouth on her clit and gently pushed a finger in, making her gasp and clench the bed sheets until her knuckles turned white. Roseanne threw her head back with a moan as she felt him enter a second finger, stretching her out deliciously as he stopped sucking her clit to watch how her body responds to his delicate touches. To say he enjoyed watching her moan his name while writhing around his fingers was a heavy understatement, as his cock began to leak precum, staining his pants from the inside. He cursed under his breath as he began to undo his suspenders with one hand while trying to focus on the pace of his fingers as he looked her in the eye, watching every facial expression she made.

His cock twitched, practically begging to be freed when he finally undid his suspenders. The walls around his fingers began to flutter as her back arched, the tone of her moans more than enough for him to retract his fingers before she could have a chance at release. Roseanne whined softly, watching as he gently kissed her thighs as she came down from her near high before lifting his head to meet her eyes, steam from his mouth more prominent under the candlelight. It was still cold, yet they’d long forgotten about it, focusing on the moment they were sharing. The sound of a zipper made Roseanne look down at his crotch, mouth almost watering at the sight of him pulling his pants off to reveal the bulge in his boxers. Her eyes flickered up to his chest as he finally took his bow tie and shirt off, the red hue in her eyes darkened with lust as she met his eyes.

Without a word, Galdino captured her lips with his own as he freed his dick from its cage, a soft groan leaving him as he stroked himself a few times before lining himself with her wet entrance. Pulling away, he cupped her cheek with his hand as his other hand rested at her hip. He needn’t say a word as she softly smiled. “I’m ready, mi vela.” It was sweet, how he patiently waited for her spoken consent when they got to this specific part of intimacy despite being together for a long time. It was refreshing the way he softly smiled back at her and kissed her gently, rubbing her hip with his thumb as he slowly pushed himself in. She loved the way they drank in each other’s soft moans as they kissed, the humble vibration through their bodies just adding to the pleasure. Galdino parted from the kiss to gently nip at her neck, whispering sweet words of praise into her ear as she whimpered softly, her eyes sparkling. 

They both groaned in unison as he bottomed out inside of her, stopping himself so he could wait for her to adjust. Roseanne softly panted, red eyes wandering down to where their parts met, feeling so pleasantly stretched out rather quickly at the sight. A small nod was all it took for Galdino to move, pulling out to the head before slowly thrusting in again, setting the pace to be a slow and gentle one as they both moaned. With every thrust came a declaration of praise and love from her boyfriend's lips, his hot breath against her neck. With every declaration of praise and love, she moaned a little louder, her legs wrapping around his waist to bring him closer and bury him deep inside of her. 

The slow thrusts were sweet, yet it wasn't enough for them both. "Faster…" Roseanne exhaled in his ear and he was more than happy to comply, pulling out to the tip and thrusting into her faster, hitting a spot deep inside of her and making her cry out. She bit her lip as she loudly moaned, her lover kissing her jaw and telling her just how well she was taking him, making her walls clench around him. Euphoria wasn't the right word to describe what she was feeling, it was far beyond that, it was absolute bliss. Everytime they got intimate, she always thought about how lucky she got when she met him. Granted, they didn't get along in the beginning, but when they did get along after the events of Marineford and get together, she always thought that. It almost made her cry. 

"... Are you crying? I didn't hurt you, did I?" Galdino softly questioned, stopping his movements in slight panic as he saw tears prick her pretty eyes. Roseanne blinked, a cute chuckle escaping her mouth as she quickly wiped away the tears with a soft shake of the head. "No, no. You didn't…" She spoke with a sweet smile. Galdino softly raised a brow. "Then, why were you crying?" His question made her softly laugh, the bubbly sound making his heart swell. "It's nothing bad, honest! It's just… I can't believe how lucky I am to be with you, that's all." She honestly answered. He sighed, a small smile and blush on his cheeks as he chuckled, flustered. "I think we're both lucky, my Flower." Galdino responded, cupping her face with his hands and gently kissing her again. 

Roseanne hummed, the hum turning into a soft moan as he continued his movements, wrapping her arms around his neck as her heart beat rapidly in her chest. The pace went from slow and sensual to fast and sensual, loud, muffled moans escaping Roseanne's mouth and into Galdino's as he helped her to warm up. She was getting close. They both were. The way he thrust into her, pulling away to put her leg over his shoulder to hit a certain angle that had her seeing stars, her moans getting louder as his hands roamed her body, one cupping her breast as one travelled down to her hip, his thumb rubbing her clit. A loud, high pitched gasp filled the room as Roseanne's back arched off the bed from the sudden surge of extra pleasure, her walls clenching around his cock as she drew closer and close to release.

A specific thrust hit a spot so deep that she screwed her eyes shut, her walls clamping down hard on his cock as she finally came with a loud moan of his name, the tightness of her cunt making him cum inside of her, the thick rope of cum burying itself deep inside of her pussy and leaking out the sides. Galdino thrusted into her a few more times to ride out their orgasms as he released the last of his seed before he stilled, gently placing her leg back down on the bed as they came down from their high, the room now silent apart from their shared breaths. With a soft grunt, he pulled out, watching as their fluids mixed and pooled onto the sheets beneath them both. 

Neither of them spoke. They didn't have to as they met each other's eyes with a soft smile. Galdino cupped her face with his hands and softly kissed her again before pulling away, stroking her cheeks with his thumbs. Roseanne sighed, leaning into his touch before he pulled away again, sitting on the edge of the bed to get the spare blankets they had tucked away and turning back to her, wrapping his girlfriend in one before he kissed her forehead. "I'll get some towels. We can do the washing later." Roseanne smiled at his words and watched as he quickly left for their bathroom before coming back with said towels, sitting down next to her and gently cleaning her up, gently kissing her cheeks everytime she whimpered a little. It didn't take long for aftercare to be over and done with, the couple already tucked under the soft blankets of their bed and comfortably in each other's arms. 

Roseanne's head lay on Galdino's chest, a small smile on her face as she basked in the afterglow of sex. She craned her head to look up at him, meeting his eyes with a smile. "I love you, Galdino." "And I love you, Rose." Galdino declared after her, giving her forehead a soft kiss before they both began to fall asleep in each other's warmth for the cold night.

starmeppo: the first kiss i had with meppo was at first me just kissing him on the cheek when he came home one day with a bag of my favourite things bc i was sad, then we both kinda paused before he cupped my face and kissed me softly on the lips.

starsniper: our first kiss was a complete accident bc we are both chaotic dumbasses. we were playing on the deck with chopper and luffy when i bumped into him, sending both of us to the ground and our lips just kinda locked together. we didnt get up until we heard luffy and chopper cheer. fun fact, this happened right before we confessed lmao

rosino/candlerose: i'd have to say about a month into rose and galdino's relationship was their first kiss. they were cuddled up together in their cabin, galdino planting a kiss on her head every so often while she tried to get some sleep. without thinking, rose lifted her head and kissed his lips softly before resting her head on his chest again, leaving galdino bright red and hair on fire as he slowly began to melt.

What was your first kiss with your f/o like?

Was it romantic and passionate? Or clumsy but sweet? Was it a build up of romantic tension that everyone but you saw coming?

WORD COUNT: 3,269 (hehehe 69)

Galdino huffed, ravaging the Chester drawers with a look of concentration on his face as he rummaged through the various articles of undergarments in a rushed fashion. Roseanne stood in the doorway, leaning against it with her arms crossed as she looked at him, an eyebrow raised. “Galdi,” She began, moving closer to him. “What are you looking for? You’ve been running around for half an hour stressed out of your mind! We have to go soon, we’re gonna be late for Alvida’s party!” “Sorry, my love,” Galdino apologised, turning to her, defeated. “I seemed to have misplaced my bowtie, gane.” Roseanne hummed for a moment. “Let me look. Move.” Galdino did as he was told, moving to sit on the edge of their shared bed. He watched as his girlfriend closed one drawer and opened the other, taking some time to quickly but carefully look through various articles of clothing in each drawer until she opened the last one, small, clear boxes of piercings flying out and hitting the door of the drawer. She noticed her box of earrings, necklaces and bracelets, yet what made her pause and stop her further actions was a clear box with a small bag of three piercings in it. Galdino’s blood ran cold as she picked up the box and raised an eyebrow. “Whose is this? They’re not mine - they’re far too big to be mine.” She pondered, looking at the box and then to her boyfriend, who cleared his throat. “...Th…They’re mine, gane…” He responded after a while, his cheeks flushed in embarrassment.

“Oh? I didn’t know you got your ears pierced. How come I never saw them, though?” She questioned, mainly to herself. “...They’re not earrings, gane…” Galdino mumbled, looking away. Roseanne cocked her head to the side like a lost puppy. “What? What do you mean they’re not earrings? Are they tongue piercings?” She asked, but only got a shake of the head as a response. He spoke once more, voice only getting smaller and face only getting redder and redder by the minute. “...They aren’t face piercings either, gane…” Roseanne blinked, confusion written all over her face as she tried to put the pieces together in her mind. “They’re not? What do you mean…They’re not…” The pin finally dropped. A blush rose to her face as she registered what her boyfriend meant. She eyed him, red irises darting between his beet-red face and his crotch as her mouth opened, corners of her lips turning upwards into a smile of disbelief. “YOU DIDN’T!! WHEN?!” “Not so loud, gane!!” Galdino hissed, grabbing the box from her hands and placing it next to him, his face still red. He sighed, answering her question.

“...I got it pierced when I was in College, gane. It’s been so long, so I doubt they’d fit now.” “Have you tried?” Roseanne questioned rather quickly, making his eyes widen a little. His blush grew somehow and he almost screeched. “WHAT?! WHY- NO, I HAVEN’T!” “Should we try?” A long silence followed suit, Galdino staring at her girlfriend with shock as she stared back with curious eyes. He swallowed hard, looking at the box with his own curiosity. “I mean…Would it even fit, gane?” “Well,” Roseanne began, on her knees in front of him with her hands on his knees as she gazed up at him, a sparkle of mischief in her eyes. “We’ll never know unless we try.” Galdino felt something ignite in his loins at her gaze and tone, his adam’s apple bobbing up and down as he gulped again. “Did…Didn’t you say we were going to be late, gane?” He stuttered slightly. Suddenly it got hot in the room, Galdino tugging on his buttoned-up collar as he began to sweat a bit. He wanted ever so desperately to find a distraction to the predicament he had found himself in, but the way her hands now gently caressed his thighs and her pleading look of curiosity made his loins ignite once more. “Please, Galdi? I just wanna see it!” Roseanne pleaded, pouting a little bit. As much as Galdino wanted to keep the piercings a secret, he couldn’t say no to the gorgeous sparkle that shone in her ruby eyes, not to mention that he was a little curious himself. “...Fine. Turn around, gane.” He groaned, finally giving in. Roseanne cheered and did as she was told, turning around on the spot and waiting for her next instruction. Hearing the belt unbuckle sent shivers down her spine and the sound of his fly being opened made her stomach flutter.

Soft grunts were heard from behind her, which made her sit straight. “Do you need help?” “No, no…I’ve…I’ve got it, gane. Just don’t turn around.” He ordered softly, a slight stutter in his speech as he continued his actions, the soft whines leaving his throat making Roseanne squirm on the spot. “A-Alright…You can turn around now, gane.” He spoke after a while, his voice small out of embarrassment. Turning around, the woman almost jumped back in surprise as she saw his cock now with piercings and almost at full mast. The three silver piercings along the underside of his base looked like a ladder, whereas there was one that looked slightly bigger than the others near the tip. Her eyes met his with a look of awe and lust, a finger lightly touching each piercing as she smiled. “See? That wasn’t so hard now, was it?” “No, I supposed it wasn’t, gane…Now,” Galdino began, his tone suddenly changing. He glanced at his cock, then at his lover. “What should we do, hm?”

Roseanne blushed, red eyes looking up at him with mischief as she began to smirk. "Lay down and I'll show you." She commanded, hands tenderly squeezing his thighs as he shivered. He raised a brow with an intrigued and amused smirk. "You'll show me? I think it should be the other way around, sweetheart, gane." "Now, now, mi vela," Her tone made him freeze, hands gripping the sheets as he locked eyes with her lustful gaze. She got up, towering over him with a smirk. "Don't get too ahead of yourself. Have you forgotten who got you all riled up for this?" Galdino moaned softly as she rubbed the tip of his dick, spreading the now dripping precum around it. He looked back up at her, submission in his eyes, as he adjusted himself on the bed and laid down, watching as her smirk widened into a smile. Getting on top of him and straddling his legs, she kept eye contact as she licked the precum from her fingers, admiring the somewhat salty taste with a hum.

Galdino whined softly, his cock pulsating at the sight as more precum dribbled down his pierced shaft and onto his balls. Roseanne licked her lips almost sadistically, the scene of her boyfriend being so submissive after talking so big turning her on. She raised a brow. "What should I do, hm?" She questioned, one hand spreading his precum along his shaft before encasing it entirely in her palm, tugging on his cock gently and slowly, making him groan from the depths of his chest. "I could always ride you," She hummed, her free hand undoing the clasps of her strapless dress and letting the top half fall to her waist, exposing her braless chest. Galdino moaned, his eyes tracing the roundness of her breasts and down towards the start of her abs. The sight was mouthwatering. "Or, I can suck you dry," She continued with a small giggle, moving so she can tug his pants off and rest herself on one of his thighs. He swallowed as he felt her damp panties rub against him as she began to grind, soft pants leaving her lips as the friction she created stimulated her throbbing clit. "Or," She whined slowly, "I can just do this for the rest of the night. So what'll it be, Galdino?" The sound of his name being softly gasped from her plush lips made him buck into her hand with a pathetic whine.

Roseanne held his hip with one hand, stroking his cock with the other in a painfully slow manner as she kept eye contact. “Use your words or I won’t do anything.” She warned, giving his cock a warning squeeze, making him grunt. “P…Please,” Galdino whined, glasses in one hand as his other arm covered his eyes in embarrassment. “Anything but the third option, gane…I beg of you to let me feel you around me…” Roseanne hummed at his begging attempt, moving to take his arm and pin it above him, looking deep into his lust-filled eyes. “I don’t know…You’re going to have to convince me.” His dick twitched in her hand at her tone of voice, a low whine escaping his throat. “Please, Rose, let me feel you. Let me touch you, please!” Galdino begged, his voice slightly louder and more desperate, hips twitching against her thighs. Roseanne smirked, taking his hands in hers and placing them on her breasts that he had been shamelessly staring at for quite some time while she thought. She softly groaned as he squeezed them, soft hands caressing the curvature of them before rolling her nipples under his thumbs. “Good boy…” Roseanne softly mumbled, leaning down to gently kiss his lips before trailing kisses down to his jaw as one of his hands reached around to her lower back, helping her to grind harder on his leg.

The woman moaned softly into his ear, her pussy clenching around nothing as she stopped her grinding, the hand on his pierced dick squeezing gently, giving him a warning glance. “It’s my turn, remember?” She softly spoke, her voice low with lust. Upon hearing the apologetic whine and feeling his hand travel up to her waist. Straddling his hips, she removed her hand from his aching cock and licked the precum that dribbled down her hand while her other hand trailed down to his chest. “You said you wanted to feel me around you, no?” She asked and he eagerly nodded. With a smirk and a sultry stare, she grabbed the hand that was on her breast and slowly moved it lower and lower. “Then feel me.” At that simple command, Galdino’s hand was travelling down to her wet slit in a matter of seconds, cupping her mound and gently rubbing it to feel just how wet she was. Roseanne closed her eyes and moaned softly, grinding her clit against his palm. She gasped softly when she felt a finger enter her tight hole, a moan escaping her throat as he thrust it in and out of her slowly, watching her every facial expression intently. Staring back at him, she smiled softly as she took one of his nipples between her thumb and forefinger and pinched it, causing Galdino to hiss a moan as his back arched a little. “Do you feel that, mi amor? Do you feel just how ready I am to swallow your cock whole, hm? Fuck,” Roseanne spurred him on with a moan as another finger entered her. “You’re gonna feel so fucking good inside of me with those piercings…” Her lustful words made his dick visibly twitch as she slid the rest of her dress off before moving to unbutton his shirt, kissing and sucking and biting his neck as she did so, moaning his name in his ear like a prayer. Painting his neck with small hickies, his fingers began to move in a scissor-like motion that made her bite down gently at the spot she was sucking on, making Galdino groan. Taking off his shirt, she pulled away to admire his body with a soft moan.

His shaft rubbed against her clit, making her shiver and clench around his fingers. She felt herself getting close, so she grabbed his wrist. “Stop.” Commanded Roseanne, making Galdino pull out his fingers from her dripping heat. Holding onto his chest, she hovered over his pierced member, the red and sensitive tip brushing lightly against her clit, making such a heavenly sensation run through her veins. Her hand held his shaft and aligned it with her entrance. “You ready for me, mi vela? Ready to feel me squeeze your cock dry, hm?” Galdino nodded eagerly, his hands resting on her thighs as he softly yet desperately begged. “Please, please, please…” He loudly moaned when she finally lowered herself on his pierced shaft, a sharp gasp leaving Roseanne’s lips as she felt the metal piercings stretch and caress her walls. Once he was all the way in, she stopped to allow herself to adjust, panting slightly at the feeling of his piercings hitting every inch of her tight walls and reaching spots she didn’t even know were sensitive. With a deep breath, she lifted herself to the tip with a moan before lowering herself again, bouncing on his cock slowly and relishing in the way he felt inside of her, how he sounded beneath her; a whining and moaning mess. Moans escaped Roseanne’s throat as one of his hands squeezed her thigh while the other reached for the bedside drawer, opening it and pulling out a small remote. He looked at it briefly before handing it to Rose, who stopped momentarily to look at it.

“What’s this?” “One of them can vibrate, gane…” Galdino spoke, swallowing hard. Roseanne blushed, looking at him with slight shock. “IT VIBRATES?!” She exclaimed, looking back at the remote and looking at the different settings. With a click, the low vibration setting was turned on and they both gasped, the humble vibration being more pleasurable than they imagined. Roseanne moaned, almost falling onto his chest had it not been for her other hand holding her up. She began to move again, making Galdino arch his back off the bed. “P…Please! I wanna…!” He stopped midway through his sentence, a loud groan ripping from the depths of his chest. Roseanne smirked, moaning at the sight beneath her. “Use your words, baby. You can do it, fuck!” Galdino’s hands reached up to her hips and squeezed. “I want to fuck you, gane! Please!!” The desperation in his eyes made her want to melt and give in, yet she didn’t. Waving the remote in her hand, she grinned. “As much as I would love for you to do that, don’t forget who’s in control here.” With that, she clicked the remote, the small vibrations turning into harder and quicker ones. Roseanne arched her back as she bounced on his cock again, Galdino’s moans getting louder and louder.

She leaned over and smashed her lips onto his just to shut him up, their moans mixing with each other harmoniously as she continued to bounce up and down on his cock, chasing their carnal desires. Roseanne gasped as he thrust up into her, hitting her G spot and making her moan loudly into his mouth as she slid her tongue into his mouth. Galdino’s hands travelled down to her ass and squeezed, making her moan again as she bounced, the vibrations continuing to promise them a night of pleasure. Sneakily, Galdino took the remote from her hand and turned up the vibrations, making her almost scream. Pulling away for air, she snatched the remote from his hand and carelessly tossed it on the floor with a lustful grin. Roseanne could tell by the way his dick twitched inside of her that he was close. She captured his lips in hers again and mumbled dirty words of encouragement against his lips. “You close, baby? Are you gonna cum for me, hm? Cum for me, mi amor. Fill me up to the fucking brim, please, fuck…” Roseanne was the one begging now; begging for him to cum. He thrust up again and again, making her bounce faster and harder on his pierced cock and bringing himself over the edge, the vibrations drawing out his orgasm as he moaned loudly, her name leaving his lips like a prayer as he filled her pussy with his seed.

The sheer sight of him coming undone beneath her made her orgasm draw closer and closer, the knot in her stomach tightening by the second. With every thrust she felt her slick run down her thighs and onto his legs, the vibrations and friction burning her insides delightfully as her stimulated clit quivered and shook. Roseanne whined. “Fuck…Please make me cum, mi vela. Please, please, please, please…” She couldn’t help but beg, the words leaving her mouth before she could stop them. Galdino growled in her ear, his thrusts getting faster and faster as he flipped her over on the bed, gaining access to a much deeper spot inside of her that neither of them knew existed. Roseanne threw her head back at the position, almost screaming his name as he repeatedly hit her cervix with his thrusts, the vibrations helping her achieve her goal. The knot in her stomach snapped, her eyes screwing shut as she came down hard on his pierced cock, her walls making him cum for a second time. His thrusts slowed as she came, looking around for the remote so he can stop the vibrations and spotting it next to the bed. Roseanne softly whined at the overstimulation, making Galdino gently pull out a little bit to bend down and get the remote, switching it off.

They both caught their breath, looking into each other’s eyes. Galdino leant over and kissed her gently, pulling out and flopping on the bed next to her. Roseanne sighed, leaning her head on his chest as his arms wrapped around her. “...Wow,” She breathed, glancing at his member then looking up at him, who had been staring at her with love in his eyes the whole time. “You should have those in more often.” “Hm, I’m not sure, gane…” He spoke, noticing how hoarse their voices had gotten. Roseanne pouted, making him sigh. “Oh, alright. But only on special occasions, gane.” Roseanne cheered softly at this, pecking him on his nose and snuggling into him. Silence. “What time is it, gane?” Galdino suddenly asked. Roseanne looked at the analogue clock on the nightstand. “...11:36 PM…” She softly responded, looking back at him with slight shock in her eyes. “Ah…We’re late…” He said, getting his phone from the bedside drawer and looking at it to see he had 10 missed messages from Buggy and Alvida asking him where they were. The couple looked at each other, sweaty and still recovering from their night of passion. “Let’s just tell them we’re sick, gane.” Galdino spoke, opening one of the messages and typing as best he could without his glasses. The soft giggling from his lover made him smile softly and place a gentle kiss on top of her head, placing the phone on top of the drawers. “Let’s get cleaned up, eh? Have a night in instead, gane.” He suggested, making Roseanne nod. She softly kissed him on the lips, breaking the embrace to speak. “I love you, mi vela.” “I love you more, my flower.”

“What if they’re fucking?” Alvida suggested, yelling over the club’s loud music. Buggy laughed. “Yeah, they probably are, considering I gave Galdino his dick piercings that I found in our old apartment we used to share!” “GALDINO HAS DICK PIERCINGS?! I NEED TO CALL ROSE RIGHT NOW!” “They vibrate, too. I found that out the hard way.” Alvida turned her head to him, narrowing her eyes. “Don’t tell me you two…” “Hey, it was only a short-lived relationship we had back in the day!” “YOU TWO FUCKED?!”

SYNOPSIS: My OC's backstory.

WORDS: 3,834

☆.。.:*・°☆.。.:*・°☆.。.:*・°☆.。.:*・°☆☆.。.:*・°☆.。.:* °☆.。.:*・

Born into a rather tall family, Roseanne was always the black sheep. Her parents expected another tall child to be born to inherit their legacy of being the tallest family in their village, yet when she was born, they were confused. Why was she so small? When they went to the doctors when she turned 3, repulsion surged through their veins.

"Well," said the doctor, looking over the clipboard then to the parents. "She's a healthy baby, average weight, average height. Maybe not average to you, since you're so tall, but she's perfectly fine."

Not average to them.

Average to them is the size of a toddler when their babies are born, so when they heard this about their 7th child, they were disgusted.

Almost immediately, they began to neglect her; only giving her tiny portions of food or leftovers, giving her a small bathroom to sleep in as her bedroom, not giving her toys etc. Every day, little Roseanne would try to gain her family's love and attention, but she was always pushed away. Despite this, the young girl was positive and still smiled at school, however that seemed to change as she got older as the neglect turned into abuse. Bruises and cuts were plastered on her body and her family refused to give her new clothes. The few friends she had begun to disown her and bully her. Nothing seemed to be looking up for the lass.

With a harsh thud onto the rock hard gravel of the walkway, Roseanne was chucked out at age 16. A large, dirty bag followed not a second after, landing beside her.

"Such a disgrace," Her father spat, cold eyes glaring at her as her Mother kicked some dirt in her face, making her cough as tears welled up in her eyes. "I wish we aborted you when we got the damn chance." With that, they slammed the door in her face as she began to sob.

"MOM! DAD! PLEASE! I'M SORRY!!" Her yelling was ignored as a storm had begun to pass through, her wails of heartbreak and pounds on the door silenced by the pouring rain and the claps of thunder. "I'LL BE BETTER, I PROMISE!" Her fists began to bleed. "...I promise..."

She gave up after an hour or two, grabbing her bag and walking solemnly in the rain, wincing as she flexed her hand and felt the rain hit her wounds. Being homeless was slightly better than staying at home, because at least she got a little bit of sympathy money instead of being hit whenever she asked for 20 Berries to buy groceries. Then, she got an idea.

Songs filled the local marketplace as she sang along to them. Sure, she was nervous, but she got more money for it. Eventually, she got enough money to buy herself a little something, so, with her money and bag in hand, she wandered around the marketplace. Something caught her eye; an outfit of sorts. Perfect. After purchasing said outfit and a few extra accessories, she wandered into the local bar and asked to use their upstairs restroom. At first, the bartender refused, but she negotiated. 15 minutes in the restroom but only if she brought more customers to the establishment somehow. It was a deal.

Before she can even make it to the door towards the backroom, someone called her out. She jolted upright and swiftly turned in fear, immediately meeting the eyes of her older siblings. "Do ya know those people?" Asked the bar tender, who was quick enough to notice how scared the teen was. A nod was the answer, yet the bartender didn't pry, it wasn't his business... But he still felt compelled to tell the yelling group to leave. "Listen, kid, I'll make ya a better deal," He said, leaning down to whisper in her ear and eyeing the bag of clothing, spotting what looked like a mask in the bag. "I see ya got a mask, so I can only assume you wanna hide ya'self from these morons. So, here's the deal; if ya go out that door behind ya and go upstairs, turn right and go to the door at the end of the hallway, you'll find the bathroom. Go in there, wash ya'self, 'cause ya stink... No offence," Roseanne shrugged. "Wash ya'self and get changed into whatever ya got there. After that, come down and introduce ya'self on that stage. I'll give ya a job as a performing act here, alright? And don't worry. Ya secret is safe with me."

His reassuring wink was more than enough for her to bolt out the door behind her and do as she was told. But why did he help her? Was he in the same situation as her? How did he know that she wanted to have a get away identity?

After doing what she was told and watching them leave, she began her job as a bar singer, going on to be known as The Underground Singer Kitsune or just The Kitsune for short.

Let's move forward, shall we?

Age 21. A week after her 21st birthday. By this time, she bought her first house and had a boyfriend of 2 years. She felt like she was on top of the world for the first time in her life. The young woman entered her home and called out to her boyfriend, yet she heard nothing back, so she assumed he was out somewhere. As usual. It wasn't long until he got back though, stumbling through the door like the drunken idiot he was and demanding sex from the woman. "Babe, no, we can't. Not in your state!" Roseanne tried desperately to calm him, but he was persistent and handsy, grabbing her waist and yelling at her to shut up and do as she was told.

Despite her using all her willpower and strength to fight back, she couldn't stop him from forcing himself upon her, pushing her on the bed and... You can probably guess where this is going, can't you? A second load of trauma was stack piled on top on the other like some sick and twisted totem pole. After that was over, she couldn't sleep. And once he was sober, she swallowed her fears and kicked him out despite his yells of protest.

She definitely grew colder towards a few men who looked at her in the wrong way, whereas before she would've simply ignored them. Roseanne also took the time to learn self-defence with the help of a rather strong colleague of hers. By the time she was 23, she was stronger and more bold, yet that fateful night still plagued her mind like a demon feasting on her heart. One day, while she was coming home from work, she saw a rather tall man standing at her house, waiting for her. Fear spiked up in her chest and her eyebrows furrowed. "Who the fuck are you?" Her question went unanswered as the man simply handed her a letter before walking away.

With a tut and a mumble, she swiftly entered her house, locking the door behind her and putting down her things before sitting on the couch and opening the mysterious letter, reading it.

Roseanne,

Don't get frightened at what I am about to say. My organisation has been keeping an eye on you for a while now and I have just one question for you;

Do you wish to get revenge on those who have wronged you?

If so, please meet the man you saw at your door tomorrow at 9PM by the lake. Don't worry. You'll be safe. I'll make sure of it.

I'll be waiting,

Mr. 0

The woman almost dropped the letter as she read it. With a gulp, Rose re-read it again and again, tossing and turning the letter to look for some hint of a prank or at least a return address. Yet, there was nothing there. All that she took note of was the question written in red ink, the mysterious 'Mr. 0' and the little 'B. W' logo in the corner. The question written in red ink catching her attention again and making her think. This was quite the opportunity and it didn't seem like she had much time to actually think this through, so at first, she wanted to deny the request... Yet when she though about it a little bit more, reminiscing on her past with her family and the night with her ex-boyfriend, she found the request all the more tempting.

So, there she was, walking towards the tall man by the lake at 9PM exactly. "...There you are. Follow me." The man said, walking in a different direction. Roseanne didn't need to be told twice, following him into a secluded area. She gulped lightly, raising a brow once she saw him take out a Mini Transponder Snail from his pocket. He called someone, letting it ring before someone picked up. "Zero." "One." The man responded, making the voice on the other end chuckle. "Mr. 1, I'm guessing you've got her with you?" "I do." "Good. Let me speak to her." The man, who she had rightfully assumed was Mr 1 by the way the voice addressed him, pointed the snail towards her.

"Hello, Roseanne. I am Mr. 0, the man who sent the letter. So, do you want to join this organisation?" Mr. 0 asked. Roseanne took a deep breath.

"I do."

Soon enough, she was escorted to somewhere deep into town and brought to a fancy establishment, where a few unique faces caught her eye as she walked in with Mr. 1. "OH!" Exclaimed a male, who was dressed rather flamboyantly. "Is this the new girl that's gonna be joining us? She's cute!" He complimented, grinning. "My," A woman with blue hair said with a smirk. "She's small. How old are you?" "I'm 23." Roseanne spoke coldly, not appreciating the height comment from the woman. Said woman raised her hands in a self-defensive manner, chuckling lightly. "Everyone," Spoke the Transponder Snail on the table. "This is Roseanne. She will be joining us from now on."

"Does she have a codename?" Asked a smiley blonde woman. "No, I'll let her choose that. Roseanne," Mr. 0 addressed Roseanne, making her stiffen a little. "Codenames here are simple; Men get a number and women get a holiday or a special day. So, that being said, what would you like to call yourself?" Roseanne thought for a moment before nodding to herself. "I'd like to be called Miss Sweet Sixteen." Sure, her codename sparked a small debate, but that was squashed by Mr. 0 telling them all to be quiet.

So, there she was, about to pick a partner. "Mr. 2 doesn't want any women on his side, so you're going to have to be in a trio. Go ahead." Mr. 1 explained, making her feel a little bit deflated. She quite liked Mr. 2, even if he was over the top, he was very nice. She looked at the pairs in front of her, stopping as she caught the stare of a child. She blinked, twice before turning to Mr. 1. "This one." Mr. 1 nodded. The man next to the child tutted a bit. "So you're not even going to ask who we are? You only know 3 people here!" Well, he didn't seem very friendly. Rose glared at him. "Hey, don't start with me. I'll know who you are anyways, so what's the point of asking now?"

Mr. 0 had to intervene before the man could speak back. "Calm down, Miss Sweet Sixteen, Mr. 3. Let's just finish her introduction and get on with your missions. Mr. 1, give Sixteen the bag in your hand."

In that bag was her Baroque Works outfit that she's worn since she started. Of course, she was allowed to be The Kitsune in her downtime, sneaking off when everyone was asleep.

For 10 years she worked for that organisation; taking care of a then 6 year old Miss Goldenweek and protecting her from danger all the while bickering with Mr. 3 over the simplest of things. They got their missions done, of course, that was until Little Garden, where her partners got beaten by Strawhat Luffy and his friends. With a sigh, she carried them both back to the wax house and healing them. Once everyone was in one place and Mr. 3 declared that he'd be going to Alabasta himself to apologise to their boss in person, she went with him, leaving Goldenweek with Mr. 5 and Miss Valentine.

She was surprised to find out that Mr. 0 was the Warlord, Crocodile, yet that surprise was soon covered with fear once Mr. 3 explained his trouble capturing Princess Vivi and the others, hiding behind him and standing back once Crocodile got a hold of his neck. She watched in slight horror as he drained the moisture out of him and threw him to the floor, leaving the man begging for water before pressing something and letting him fall into the pit that was surrounded by hungry Bananagators. She gulped once she heard his horrified screams and froze as Crocodile's gaze lingered on her, seemingly contemplating what to do with her before glaring at her.

"What? Have you got something else to report?" He spat. She rapidly shook her head and left as she was ordered to. It wasn't long, however, until Sixteen met Mr. 3 outside of Rainbase, listening to Vivi's speech. "There you are!" She whisper-yelled, catching his attention. He looked... Relieved to see that she was unharmed and neither of them said a word as they listened. A few days later, they were running and hiding from the Navy and were about to leave until they were stopped by Mr. 2, Bon Clay.

Roseanne laughed once she saw Galdino in the pink suit. "Pink really suits you, you know? It brings out your eyes!" She laughed, making him go bright red. "WOULD YOU SHUT UP?! CAN'T YOU SEE WE'RE BEING PURSUED?!"

It wasn't long until they got caught by Hina, sending them both to Impel Down. Apparently they didn't deem Rose much of a threat, only sending her to Level 1 while her business partner was sent to Level 2. That didn't last, however...

"CODE YELLOW! A PRISONER HAS GONE MISSING!"

"Where am I?" "Welcome, my Candy! To Level 5.5, Newkama Land!"

That's right. Roseanne was taken to Newkama Land and was shocked to know just how much Ivankov knew about her. "I know that you worked for Crocodile and that you're The Kitsune. You made the latter part evident in your mugshot; you did the pose! However, I don't know about the real you. So, my Candy. Tell me about yourself."

She didn't know why but she felt like she could trust this man, the information about herself and her past spilling out before she can stop the words from flowing. She even cried as she was being comforted by the man.

A few days pass, maybe a few weeks, and she sees Strawhat and a clown cause mayhem on Level 1 before going to Level 2 and freeing Mr. 3, making her smile. "Oh, he's the man you work with, correct?" Asked Inazuma. Roseanne nodded, smile never fading. "You like him, don't you, Candy Girl?" Ivankov's question made her drop her smile and blush profusely, shaking her head as she tried to deny it, to no avail.

Not long after, maybe 20 hours or so later, she teamed up with Ivankov, Inazuma and Strawhat to Level 6, where they freed Jinbei and Crocodile. Roseanne cowered a little under Crocodile's gaze, yet still wanted to seem strong. "...I see you've taken care of her well." "But of course! I couldn't just leave her in that cell full of creepy men, you know?!" The interaction between him and Ivankov made her chuckle a little.

As they progressed, they freed Mr. 1, Daz Bones and a lot of other prisoners, fighting their way to Level 1 and bumping into Galdino and Buggy. "B-B-B-BOSS?!" "Ah, it's been a while, Mr. 3. I see you're a whimpering imbecile as usual." Galdino turned his head a little as he heard a chuckle. "Wha...? WHAT ARE YOU DOING HERE?!" "I'M ESCAPING, WHAT DOES IT LOOK LIKE I'M DOING?!" "WHY ARE YOU DRESSED AS THE KITSUNE-" "I'LL EXPLAIN LATER, LET'S JUST GET OUT OF HERE!"

When they all finally escaped from Impel Down, they set out towards Marineford to participate in the war between Whitebeard and the Navy. However, another obstacle stood in their way; the Gates of Justice. Yet, before they could blink, the gates had begun to open. Roseanne looked around, eyes wandering for her friend. "What do you mean he stayed behind?! He's our friend, we have to go back for him!" She heard Luffy as he was yelling at Jinbei. "What...? What's going on? Where's Bon?" She asked, watching as the Ex-Warlord pulled out a mini transponder snail and told them both that it was still connected.

That's when she realised. Bon wasn't on the ship. Panic washed over her as Luffy began yelling down the snail, begging the man to answer as the other escapees gathered round to beg also. She fell to her knees and took a deep breath.

"BIG BROTHER! PLEASE, JUST LET ME KNOW YOU'RE OKAY!"

Then, they heard it, just as the gates were closing.

"STRAW HAT! FIND ACE, SAVE HIM, AND DON'T LOOK BACK!"

The audio cut out and the snail fell asleep as the gates finally close.

The signal was cut.

As the others mourned together, the woman wept alone, sitting against one of the blue walls of the ship and holding an item in her hand. Tears escaped her red eyes as she stared solemnly at the item; a necklace. A necklace that Bon had given to her for her birthday one year - the first present she'd ever received that wasn't money. Rose held onto it for years, holding both the jewellery and his kindness close to her heart.

"So this is where you're hiding, Sixteen." A familiar voice spoke, sitting next to her as she side-eyed the man. Galdino eyed the necklace in her hands and began to tear up. "...I know how you feel-" "Like hell you do! You never liked him!" Roseanne interrupted him, tears of anger in her eyes as she clenched he necklace in her hand, face full of hurt. "You don't know how much that man meant to me! He was like a brother to me! He treated me like we were equals! But every time you saw him, you acted all high and fucking mighty because of your 'intellect'!" She yelled, using quote marks for emphasis. Galdino didn't say anything, he just let her rant. Rose held up the necklace in front of him. "This was the first proper birthday present I have ever gotten, and it was from him! You will never understand how I feel."

After her rant was over, they sat in silence, the only noise they could hear was Rose's sobbing. "...He was like the brother I never had before." She whimpered, sobbing again. With a sigh, Galdino wrapped his arms around her, letting his own tears fall as he felt her arms wrap tightly around his torso as she sobbed into his chest.

Days, maybe weeks pass and Roseanne stood on the deck of The Big Top on night watch while the crew pillaged the small town on the island they were docked at. Saying goodbye to Ivankov and the other residents of Newkama land was tough, but at least she got letters from them every so often. She was snapped out of her thoughts when she heard footsteps approach her, rapidly turning around in a defensive manner. "Woah, hey now," The person spoke, standing back a bit and raising their arms in self-defence. "It's just me." Upon further realisation, Rose saw that it was just Galdino, and sighed in relief. "Don't scare me like that. I thought it was an intruder." She scolded lightly, looking out to sea.

Galdino smirked slightly, standing next to her. "Clearly," He started, letting a long pause come between them as he thought. "Rose...I'm...I'm sorry." "What?" Roseanne queried, confused and taken aback by his sudden, out of context apology. "I'm sorry for how I treated you back when we were working under Boss- I mean Sir Crocodile. The attitude I held towards you was less than kind. So, I'm sorry." He apologised again, hand resting gently on her forearm. Rose blushed lightly, a small, shy smile creeping up on her lips. "Well, since you apologised so sincerely," She began, facing him and placing her hand on his arm. "I'm sorry, too. There's a reason why I argued with you a lot. I took all my emotions out on you, so for that, I'm sorry." "...A reason?" Before she could explain to him further, the crew came back, rowdy as ever.

Roseanne took Galdino to their cabin below deck, closing the door behind them both. She took a seat on her bed and Galdino sat next to her, listening carefully as she explained her past and the reason behind why she was so argumentative. His eyebrows furrowed once he heard what her family did to her, furrowing even more when she got to what her ex did. She also explained how she became The Kitsune as she watched his expressions carefully.

She didn't mean to confess her feelings for him, it just slipped out. Quickly covering her mouth, she looked up at him, face as red as her eyes as she watched his cheeks turn pink. Silence filled the room for a while as Roseanne began to scold herself in her head for being so dumb. "...Roseanne, I-" "What?" She spat, unintentionally interrupting him. She softly apologised and waited for him to continue. "...I love you. I didn't realise I did until I began to miss you in Impel Down." He confessed, making her heart skip. Roseanne's eyes lit up. "Really...?" She questioned, a small smile painting her lips. Galdino simply nodded, rubbing the back of his neck awkwardly.

They sat there in silence for a few minutes more until Galdino had the courage to ask the question that she'd been dying to hear for a decade. "...Would you like to go on a date sometime? Somewhere quiet, perhaps? Less..." He trailed off, cringing a little at the noise the crew was making. "...Noisy?" Roseanne giggled, placing her hand on top of his. "I'd love that."

And now, here she is. Two years later. Roseanne had retired from being The Kitsune long after the Summit War and is now living her best life as an Archer and Entertainer for the Buggy Pirates and is the long-term girlfriend of Buggy's right-hand man.

It just goes to show that a wilting Rose still has thorns.

- Roseanne.
