#ughhh that one with sanji killed me a lil

Luffy having different levels of intimacy with his crewmate is living in my head rent free

Luffy wrapping around his crew into a big hug is normal.

But just him sitting on jinbe's and Frank's shoulder. Watching and observing Franky, constantly asking him questions while he works. He also just sits onto or against jinbe enjoying tea and some down time it's really the only time Luffy can think and be with his thoughts.

Luffy sitting with Robin listening to her facts and observations. He Leans against her and reads whatever books she's reading. He listens to her facts and knowledge about history and will ask questions about whatever interests him. She really enjoys these moments with Luffy, it's a side of him that's rarely shown. It's a side of him that she gets to see more often than the other crewmates. He's usually all about meat and pirating but when with Robin he's curious about history and knowledge.

Sanji's love language is cooking Luffy loves to eat. Luffy would sneak into the kitchen and would watch him cook dinner. Most of the time it would end up with him scolding Luffy and kicking him out if he eats something. But when he behaves he's infatuated with his skill, he likes to wrap around him from behind and would watch him intently. He likes to rest his chin or cheek on top of his head watching his stir soup. Sometimes if he's lucky he gets to taste his dishes. Sanji just loves these moments his whole crew loves his food but small moments hearing praise for his talent and enjoying his food. It takes him back. Back to those moments when he cooked for him mom. He likes to talk about her sometimes not much tho no one wants tears and their steamed tilapia

With Zoro he loves being attached to him he's like a second skin. He's on his shoulder when he's doing squats, on his back doing pushups, oh his back when doing pushups up. When he's napping Luffy likes lying right next to him watching him sleep. He brushes diet or dust off his face. Sometimes he just relaxes with him staring at the clouds peacefully listening to him snoring. Zoro would talk about kuina and would go on and on about her skill he would show Luffy all the techniques she used to do when fighting her and confess that he really hasn't moved on from her death. After every fight he wins he just thinks how kuina would have done it. He even expresses some lingering inferiority still believing that he's not living up to her expectation. Something he wouldn't confess to anyone.

When sailing he likes to pull Nami on top of sunny and watch the clouds and just enjoy the sea with him. She quietly hums and draws maps while Luffy watches clouds and points things out that interest him resting his head on her lap. They usually talk about navigation and what island they're going to next. She talks about her past sometimes her sister, sometimes her mom. Some things that are too painful in a group setting.

With usopp he likes to sit with him shoot and prep his arsenal. Usopp is a story teller at heart so of course he's telling him stories and fables while he works. Luffy usually leans against his back resting his head in his hair playing with his curls while listening to usopp talk. It's usually general knowledge and about whatever niche topic he knows about. Luffy would move from his back to his lap and just listen and observe him. Especially when he talks about his parents or kaya. Usopp honestly hates quiet moments it brings him back when he lived by himself and had no one. Being with someone who hear to his rambling is comforting.

During these moments with the straw hat he always invites chopper with him he's always with Luffy. He either latched to his leg or is held by Luffy. Tho by the time things get intimate and personal chopper is asleep. Unless it's him that's getting intimate and personal. Expressing gratitude for Luffy making him feel not only normal but something to be admired. Luffy's instant amazement and fascination with his transformation really affected him. He reminds him of Hiriluk sometimes with his big personality and his lack of fear that comes from the unknown

Fuck I can go all day about all the personal relationship and interactions Luffy has with his crewmates and how they're all different from each other.

This is,,, So beautiful. Literally the first thing I read when I woke up and- Made my day. I love his little interactions with everyone, being touchy and getting to know them better. They're a little family <3

Also thinking about how Luffy is always the one listening here about his crew's stories and pasts, and he never willingly talks about his siblings and Shanks because, well, he never sees it necessary unless they ask. But when they ask? When they ask he goes on and on talking about his little adventures with Ace and Sabo. About Uta's songs. Makino's food. The way Dadan got angry at them. And everyone is just so happy to hear about their captain's stories!!!

They love each other so much,,, I love clingy strawhats, honestly, one of my favorite things ever.
