#and sanji is just blushing giggling kicking his feet

[beanghostprincess]

Something about Sanji crushing on Usopp pretty early in the story and only getting his goggles back in Alabasta because he is 19. And an idiot. And he is crushing hard. And he thinks that if he gets Usopp his goggles back the pretty boy will pay attention to him because they are silly pookie teenagers and he wants his crush to look at him.

[demonpiratehuntress]

I adored ‘love me again’!!! So I will honor your request for more OPLA!Sanji prompts 😁

How about OPLA Sanji and celebrating the victory over Arlong?

i'm glad you liked it! and thank you for the ask! :D

taglist - @kabloswrld

a much-needed break

OPLA!Sanji x F!Reader

summary - the crew beats Arlong and his crew, and you're happy to take some time off to celebrate, especially with a certain cook.

warnings - none

a/n - poor guy, when Nami ran past him to hug Usopp and Zoro, i wanted to give him a hug :(

"Wait, where's (Name)?"

At the call of your name, your head popped up from behind a rock. Exhausted and sore, you rose to your feet and approached your worried crewmates.

"Here."

Sanji was about to say something, starting to walk over, when Nami came running towards you guys. The cook opened his arms with a big smile, but the orange-haired navigator ran right past him to hug you, Zoro and Usopp. You caught the way his face fell, and when Nami pulled away you went over to wrap your arms around his neck.

He instantly cheered up, offering you a charming smile, "Hi."

"Hi," you smiled back.

The two of you stayed like that for a while, just smiling at each other with your arms around his neck and his hands on your waist. Your moment was only interrupted by the sound of a building crumbling, and you all turned and watched in horror as Arlong's stronghold collapsed, with Luffy still inside.

For a scary few seconds there was no sign of life, Then, miraculously, Luffy emerged from the wreckage and grinned down at you all.

"Nami!" He called out. "You are our friend! We are your crew!"

You turned to look at the navigator, who was covering her mouth with tears in her eyes. You put a comforting hand on her shoulder, and she offered you a grateful smile.

-

Celebrations kicked in not long after, with the people of Coco Village overjoyed to be free from the menacing chokehold of Arlong. The crew stayed to celebrate, and to allow Nami to reconnect with her estranged sister.

You were sitting with Usopp and giggling at the exaggerated tale he was telling you of his defeat of Choo - the big-lipped fishman.

"And then he got all scared when he got a taste of my exploding stars, and started begging for mercy-"

"Was this before or after you played dead to trick him?" You asked, amused.

"Uhhhh, before...?"

You just laughed some more, before your attention turned to where Sanji was dishing out food he made for the joyous event. Zoro was approaching him, and you nudged Usopp and pointed in their direction. The two of you usually had a field day making fun of the toxic masculinity both men exhibited, and today was no exception.

As the two exchanged words neither of you could hear, you both watched in disappointment as Sanji just laughed at the swordsman before he walked away.

"That was anti-climactic."

"So disappointing," you agreed.

"You two wouldn't happen to be talking about me and the swordsman, would you?" A cheeky voice asked from behind you.

At once, the sharpshooter was up and gone, stammering out some excuse of needing to entertain the kids of Coco Village with his exciting stories of adventures that never really happened.

"Usopp!" You protested, sighing as the cook laughed and took Usopp's place next to you. "That traitor."

You felt the familiar feeling of butterflies blooming in your stomach crept up on you, and you tried your hardest not to let the closeness of his body to yours elicit a flustered reaction from you. You didn't want him to know just how much his presence affected you.

"Does my arguing with the oafish swordsman amuse you often?" He asked you, sounding amused himself.

"And if I say it does?" You finally met his gaze, teasing him.

"Then I'll be happy something good comes out of having to interact with him," the cook answered, pairing his words with something between a satisfied smirk and a charming smile.

That response and his smile earned a deep blush from you, "Oh yeah? What a romantic."

"That's what I've been saying!" He agreed. "I can be very romantic. If only someone would give me a chance to prove that." He smiled innocently, but the insinuation burned your cheeks more.

"And who's that someone?" You played innocent. "They sound very mean." And that's where you got him, because everyone knew he would rather die than badmouth you or Nami.

"I-well-"

"I thought so," you laughed, enjoying the flustered look on his face. "But maybe today's your lucky day. You should ask again."

His eyes lit up when you said that, and stood up eagerly, holding a hand out to you, "Then may I have this dance?"

"Dance?" You looked around, "But no one else is dancing!"

"Yes they are," he pointed to where a bunch of kids were holding hands and dancing in a circle together.

"Those are kids!" You laughed, "You want me to dance like that?"

"It'll be fun! We all needed this break anyway."

"Who's 'we'? You joined five minutes ago!" You teased.

He playfully rolled his eyes, and grabbed your hands to pull you up, "Come on, smart mouth. For that comment, you have to dance with me like those kids."

You just shook your head with a smile, letting him drag you towards an open space. As he linked both your hands with his and began to spin you and sway you every which way, you couldn't help but laugh as your body melted into the moment, syncing with his every move.

"See? Is this so bad?" Sanji asked, smiling so wide that the top of his head might as well have fallen off.

"Okay this is really fun actually," you admitted, then buried your face in his neck. "But people are staring."

His heart skipped a beat when you held him like this, and he had to take a moment to calm his racing heart before he responded, "If they're staring at anything, it's you, sweetheart. Not the dancing."

Your cheeks burned again, the butterflies from earlier returning, "You don't know that."

"Actually I think I would know better than anyone, since I find myself staring at you more often than not," he admitted unabashedly, with a proud smile.

"You do?" You pulled back slightly to look up at him, cheeks red.

"You already know this," he chuckled.

"Maybe I like hearing it," you replied, voice a little softer.

"Well then I'll remind you as many times as you like."

The look of adoration he was giving you coupled with his sweet and gentle tone lured you in until your lips were almost touching. With one nod of consent from you, they met in an explosion of bliss.

Sanji could have kissed you forever, and it was not an exaggeration. It felt so good to finally have your lips on his, he wished he didn't have to pull away. Alas, you both did have to breathe at some point.

"Seems like it was my lucky day," he grinned at you, planting soft little kiss on your forehead. He encased you in his arms, and just held you.

You laughed and relaxed into his grip, just as happy to stay like this as he was. The two of you swayed a bit for a few more moments before retreating back to your seats, finding a smirking Nami taking Berry from a defeated Usopp.

"Did you guys seriously bet on us?" You asked, laughing as you took a seat next to the navigator.

"Only because I knew I'd win," was her reply, smug as she pocketed the money.

You rolled your eyes with an amused smile on your face. Beside you, Sanji just laughed and laid an arm across your shoulders. You let her have the small victory, because today was about her finally conquering the fishman that had held her village captive for so long.

For the rest of the evening, you were content to just sit with the cook and watch everyone celebrate.

That is, of course, until Luffy's grandfather decided to intervene.

Reacting to you making/giving them a friendship bracelet Pt.3 Marine Edition (Issho, Koby, Smoker, and Garp)

AN- I've had so much fun making these! I hope you all enjoy

Masterlist

Characters- Fujitora, Koby, Smoker and Garp

(Find part one featuring Roger, Ace, Marco, Shanks and Doffy here)

(Find part two featuring Zoro, Luffy, Sanji, Bart, Sabo and Law here)

Warnings/Content- Some angst in Smokers, Garp's part is NSFW ;)

More under the cut :)

 Issho (Fujitora)

 💜-This man is such a gentle giant 🥹

 💜- Since Issho is blind you try to gift him things that he can feel

 💜- So when you decided to make him a bracelet, you made sure to use different shaped and different textured beads

 

“Y/N is that you?”

 “Maybe~” You sit beside the large man and gently grab his hand “I have a surprise for you!”

 “What’s this?” His fingers run over the soft threads of the bracelet you’ve placed on his wrist. “Did you make this?”

 “I sure did!” You beam. “The base of the bracelet is a deep purple, so that it matches your outfit!”  

 “I see, any special reason why you made it my darling?”

 “It’s just like the bracelet says.” Issho was confused at first but ran his fingers over the beads of the bracelet. His smile widens, feeling that the letters spell out I love you.

 “I hope you don’t mind.” His large hands come up to cradle your face as his fingers trace over your nose, eyes and finally your lips.  “Since I can’t see it, I want to feel the kind and beautiful smile of the woman I adore.” 

 (Issho can actually see the colorful hue of the bracelet thanks to the love and kindness you put into making it)

Koby

🌸💕-  Koby was getting ready to go on his first overseas mission as a marine captain. Meaning he was going to be gone for a few months. 

🌸💕- You knew he was going to miss you just as much as you were going to miss him, so you wanted to give him something that would remind him of you. Thus you made him a bracelet

🌸💕- When you gave it to him he turned into a absolute, blushing mess (He was internally giggling and kicking his feet)

🌸💕- As happy as he was to receive the bracelet, he felt bad knowing he didn’t have anything to give you

🌸💕- You assured him that it was okay, but seeing you walk away empty handed left a bad taste on his tongue

  “Wait Y/N!” You turn around on the dock to see your boyfriend running towards you at full speed. “Koby?” You raise your brow as he tries to catch his breath.

 “Please take this.” Koby’s pink hair falls against his forehead as he unties the bandanna wrapped around his head. “May I?” You smile and bring your hand up so he can wrap the colorful fabric around your wrist. “It’s not a bracelet, but you can at least wear it like one!” 

 “Captain, we got the go ahead from HQ!” 

 “Roger that.”

 “You better get going captain.” You reach up and give him a kiss on his flushed cheek. “Come back to me, okay?”

 “I promise I will.” Koby’s hand wraps around yours as he pulls you close to him. “Let me give you one more thing before I go….” Your eyes widen in shock, feeling his soft lips press against yours for the very first time.

 You both pull back with embarrassment flooding your faces hearing the whistles and “Get it captain!” comments coming from the ship above you. 

 “I have to go now, love.” With a cherry red face he pulls you in for one last hug. “I’ll be back before you know it.”

 “I’ll be waiting.” 

 ~~~~

 “Where did that come from?” Helmeppo confronted the blushing boy as soon as he stepped foot on the ship. “Did she cast some kind of love spell on that bracelet?”

 “I don't know honestly.” Koby looks at the bracelet with a dopey smile plastering his face. “I love her so much.” 

 “I know that you love sick fool..... also why do you look like you're about to pass out?”

 “Because I am.” With that his unsteady knees finally gave out, sending him straight to the deck.

 Despite the fact it took him two hours to fully recuperate, he was still proud of himself for finally finding the courage to properly kiss you. (No bewitched bracelet required)

(Koby learnt a very valuable lesson that day. Love is a hurricane!! )

 

 Smoker 

💨- The second you gave him the bracelet he handed it back saying something like “I’m a grown man and I don’t wear silly little bracelets, go give it to Tashigi.” 

💨- Definitely not the reaction you were hoping for AT ALL

💨- You grab that bracelet and leave his office, but not before bitterly saying “It won’t mean anything to her….” 

 

Once Smoker finally got home it was already nearing midnight. He was making his way towards your shared bedroom when he noticed something colorful in the hallway trash can. He pulled it out and recognized it as the bracelet you tried to give him earlier.

 “Fuck me.” What you said before you left his office finally made sense to him. Why would you give Tashigi a bracelet that had his and your relationship anniversary date on it? “How could I not remember that it was today?”  Not only did he reject your gift, he also forgot today actually was your anniversary. Now he was feeling like an absolute asshole, but he’s dead set on making things right. 

 Smoker opens the door to your bedroom to find the comforter still in place. She’s not here. Then he checked the guest bedroom. Not there either.  He was about to freak out thinking you had left, but remembered he had one more place to check. 

  He felt a wave of relief wash over him finding you fast asleep on the living room couch. But that relief quickly turns into heartbreak, seeing the balled up tissues scattered around your curled up body. 

 “Y/N..” There was no gruffness in the way your name left his lips. “I’m so sorry.” He brushes the stray hairs out of your face and notices the puffy ring of red around each of your eyes. “My sweet girl.” He thinks back to earlier that day, how you were happy and smiling. But he selfishly stole that from you. “I don’t deserve you at all.”

 “Hell no you don’t.” You lift up from the couch and wack his hand away.

 “You're awake??” 

 “Yeah, I have been the whole time..” 

 “Listen Y/N, I don’t have an excuse for my actions and I won’t make one.” Smoker sat down next to you on the couch and took your hand in his.  “Just know I am sorry and I love you.” 

 “I thought you “wouldn’t wear a silly little bracelet” ?” You grab the bracelet on his hand with a quirked brow.

 “Well I didn’t know my silly little woman made it for me.” He replies with a smirk. “But even if you didn't, I should have accepted it.”

 “Yeah, but It’s in the past now.” You grab the blanket and place it back over your body. “I’m going to sleep, goodnight Smokey.”

 “On the couch?”

 “Is that a problem?”

 “No, I guess not.” You were hoping he’d pick you up bridal style and whisk you away to bed, but the big oaf just walked away. He never learns. “I’ll sleep right here then.” Surprised to hear his voice again, you turn around and see him throwing pillows and blankets on the floor

 “I suppose you will.” You huff and close your eyes.

 “Y/N.” You hum in response “I think you dropped something on the floor.”

 “Dropped wha-.” 

 “I may have lost track of time and forgot today was our anniversary.” You lift up from the couch in complete shock seeing the ring Smoker held in his hand. “But that doesn’t mean I didn’t have anything planned for our anniversary.” You could feel tears forming in the corners of your eyes. “Will you marry me Y/N?” 

 “You jerk…” You hold your left hand up, letting him slide the ring over your finger. “Of course I will.” You jump down from the couch and tackle Smoker to the floor as you cry tears of joy.  “I'm still mad at you, but I’m also really happy.” You pull away and look to see Smoker also has tears of his own forming. 

 “Babygirl I’m happy too and all, but...” His voice strains as if he were in pain. “Your knee.”

 “What about my knee?” You look down and see he wasn’t crying for the reason you originally thought. “Oops.” During the process of jumping your now fiancée, your knee had unfortunately landed on his privates. “Honey I am so sorry!” 

 “It’s okay.” You could tell he was holding back a scream. “I deserved it anyway.” 

 “Drop the Mr. Tough guy act.” You roll your eyes. “Want me to go get a frozen bag of peas or something?”

"........"

"......."

 “Please.”

 (Smoker may have lost his ability to have kids, but it was worth seeing you fawn over your engagement ring.)

 Garp (NSFW)

💥- Despite your relationship with Garp being a secret (For.... special reasons) he’s all the time sneaking you small trinkets or leaving you a stack of his rice crackers on your desk.

💥-He can't help himself, he just loves giving you things. (At one point he even tried to steal Sengoku's goat for you because you said it was cute💀)

💥- But you wanted to return the favor and what better way than with something handmade

  “Garp, can I come in sir.” You knock on his office door before reviving a gruff come in. “I have something for you.”

 “Is that my Y/N?" His rough tone softens seeing you standing at his door. “Don’t just stand there, come here.” He said while patting his lap.

 “Isn’t that a bad idea considering we’re both at work?” Your cheeks heat up at his nonchalant invite . “What if you know who sees me, he’d kill me for sure!”

 “Honestly, I hope that bastard walks in here one of these days.” Garp smirks before giving you a serious look. “And you know I wouldn’t let him harm a hair on your head, right?”

 “I know.”

"Good, so come here."

“I guess it won’t hurt, but only for a little while.” You sigh before crawling into the large mans lap.

 “Atta girl.” Garps arms wrap around your back, pulling you further into his embrace. “So what did you have for me?”

 “I can’t give it to you smother me to death!” You voice strains as you lightly smack his broad chest.

 “Oops, sorry.” He pulls away letting you get some much needed air. “You okay down there?” 

 “Yeah.” You nod your head as you grab the bracelet from your pocket. “Hand please.” Garp holds his hand out, letting you slip the bracelet over his large hand.

 “Well, would you look at that?” The older man studies the bracelet with a fond smile. “What a sweet girl, making an old man like me something so pretty.”

 “You're all the time doing things for me, so I wanted to show my appreciation and ” You reach up and give him a quick peck on the lips. “love~”

 “Your love huh?” You didn't even get the chance to reply before the man had you pinned down face first on his desk. “In that case why don’t you show me just how much you love me?”

 “Garp not here, we can’t!” It was to late, his hands had already ripped away both your uniform skirt and underwear.

 “Why, worried about your daddy seeing you?” Garp mocks while landing a hard smack on your ass. “If anything you should worry about him hearing you.”

(Garp absolutely loved the bracelet you gifted him. But even with that being said, he may like the "gift" you're giving him right now a little bit better. Or maybe a lot more, because in his eyes there isn't anything he loves more than getting to fuck Akainu's precious daughter.)

AN- To all my Y/N's who read Garp's part, click me for a surprise

Random Zoro x reader x Sanji drabble I’ve had in my head. Pt. 1

Pt. 2

Synopsis: Strawhats dock at an island and Zoro sees a familiar face and Sanji swoons.

Fem Reader

No warnings

The Merry was docked at a quaint island where the crew relaxed and enjoyed the paradise that the island was. The villagers at first stood their ground and put up their defenses. But as soon as Luffy introduced himself exclaiming that he wanted meat, and Nami hitting him upside the head, they stood down.

Eventually, Nami was relaxing on the beach, a tropical drink in her hand. Robin was admiring the ruins of an ancient temple. Usopp was freaking out over the cool gadgets the weapon shops had. Chopper was learning about some new medicines that the island had. And Luffy was stuffing his face at a local restaurant.

Then there was Sanji and Zoro who were tasked with replenishing the supplies that the crew needed when they were to set sail once more. They were put to this task after one of their fights made Nami mess up one of her maps that she had spent hours working on. She told them if they didn’t get along then she would toss Sanji’s favorite knives into the ocean and rip out Zoro’s earrings from his ear.

Zoro and Sanji walked down the cobblestone path with their arms crossed. Sanji looked down at the paper in his hands, “My sweet Nami-Swan needs new paper and some ink. Maybe I’ll even get her some new clothes that show off her beautiful curves~!” Sanji balled his fists as his eyes turned into hearts.

Zoro scoffed and rolled his eyes, “Chill out Love Cook. Let’s just get this crap so I can go onto relaxing, away from you!”

“Oh hush Marimo. You know nothing of beauty. After all your brain is full of moss!” Sanji snapped at himz

Zoro reached for Wado, “Wanna say that again shit cook?!”

“Maybe I will, crappy swordsman!” Sanji planted his feet firm into the stone and butted heads with Zoro.

“I’ve had it with you!” Zoro unsheathed his sword and Sanji raised his right leg.

“Excuse me boys, do we have a problem?” A female voice interrupted them.

Sanji and Zoro turned to the voice. A woman with a hat and a plume stood before them, her face masked behind her hat. Sanji instantly lit up and his eyes became hearts and his hands clasped together and raised near his face.

“Lady! I need lady!” Sanji yelled.

Zoro scowled at Sanji and turned to the woman. She lifted her chin up a bit so the sun hit her face. Zoro’s eyes narrowed a bit as he studied her. She strutted forward and Zoro noted the two swords attached to her back. Her heeled boots clicked against the cobblestone.

“Long time no see Zoro,” she smirked as she stood in front of the two men.

Zoro studied her a bit longer before a huge smile appeared on his face, “No freakin way. Y/N?!”

“In the flesh,” she smiled and wrapped her arms around his waist.

Sanji’s jaw dropped to the ground and his eyes became wide and his eyebrows narrowed. “What the hell?”

Zoro wrapped his arms around her and rested his chin on her head. “S’good to see ya sweetheart.”

She chuckled and blushed as he kissed her forehead.

“Excuse me, what?” Sanji exclaimed.

Zoro moved Y/N to his other side away from Sanji, “you should stay away from this pervy cook.”

Y/N giggled and caresses Zoro’s cheek, “I think I can hold my own.” She walked back around to were Sanji was and held out a hand for Sanji to shake. “I’m Y/N, it’s lovely to meet you.”

Sanji’s eyes went back to hearts as he took her hand gently and raised it carefully to his lips and give it a kiss, “The pleasure is all mine mademoiselle.”

Y/N blushed and smiled.

“Alright that’s enough,” Zoro took back Y/N’s hand in his own.

“You shouldn’t man handle a lady that like, Mosshead,” Sanji scowled.

“Up yours waiter,” Zoro pushed Sanji away a bit and Sanji retaliated by kicking him. They began to butt heads once more.

“I hate it when men fight over me,” Y/N scoffed and rolled her eyes. She pulled out one of her swords and knocked them both on their heads with end of the handle.

Zoro groaned and rubbed his head, “Meanie.”

“How lucky am I to be hit by such a lovely lady?” Sanji swooned as blood trickled out of his nose.

“I think you guys need to learn to get along,” she huffed and crossed her arms.

“I would never get along with that idiot,” Zoro grimaced.

“And I wouldn’t with this asshole,” Sanji took a drag of his cigarette.

She rolled her eyes. “What are you even doing here Zoro?”

“My crew is docked here for a bit to re supply,” he responded simply.

“Ah I see. Oh by the way, I saw your bounty. I couldn’t believe it. Guess pirate hunting was a short gig.”

“Yeah, yeah. Is there any bars around here? We can talk over a drink,” Zoro scratched his head.

“Is booze really all you can think about, moss head even though there’s a beautiful lady that’s too good for you right in front of you!” Sanji’s eye twitched.

Y/N patted Zoro’s back, “Of course, I know the perfect spot.”

Zoro wrapped his arm around her shoulders, “Lead the way sweetheart.”

Y/N rested her head against his chest and turned back to Sanji, “Are you going to be joining us?”

“Anything for you beautiful Y/N!” Sanji swooned.

Zoro grimaced and Y/N elbowed him gently.

[isthischopper]

HEYY! Saw your requests were open, so why not give it a try??

Could you do a Luffy x reader, where luffy is cuddling Y/N? Thank u sooo much if ya do!!

hi there! i got a little carried away in the beginning, but i hope you like! thanks for my first request!

⁀➷ Dozed Off

⋆ Monkey D. Luffy x gn!Reader Fluff

It’s quiet on the ship. All you can hear is the waves crashing outside and the snores of a few other crew members nearby. The view from your window is uninteresting too, just the dark waters and occasional flash of moonlight from above. You try to clamp your eyes closed to somehow force sleep on your body, which never works, but you convince yourself that this time could be the first.

Ten minutes pass of the eye-clenching sleeplessness, and you’ve given up. Laying in bed obviously isn’t doing any good, so maybe a snack will set your mind at ease? You think about the scolding Sanji will give you in the morning for nosing around his kitchen, but you shrug and let your feet carry you outside of your room anyway.

When you round the corner into the kitchen, you’re surprised (or not so surprised?) to see Luffy in the same position you are. He’s leaned against the counter staring out into space with tired puffy eyes— like he’d woke less than a few minutes ago and decided he needed a snack. No judgement.

He soon notices your presence, smiling gently and offering to share the grapes he’s munching on. You decline, instead opting for the fried rice you’d somehow convinced Sanji to save for you. Simply taking it out of the fridge to eat cold and pouring a glass of juice for both you and Luffy.

You sit together quietly snacking, listening to the ocean, snores, and each other. Luffy’s eyeing your fried rice (the guy has no self control!), so you scoop up some of the best rice and toppings and hold it to Luffy for taking.

Soon enough, the snacks are finished and Luffy places the empty dishes into the sink. He looks tired, rubbing his eyes and stretching before looking at you with a blank expression. You rarely see Luffy in his tired, calm state. It’s cute! you think.

“Are you ‘gonna sleep tonight?” he asks and you groan, covering your eyes with your hands.

“Wish I could.”

“Well come with me!” he smiles “You can’t be all alone!”

You giggle at Luffy thinking he’s joking until he holds out his hand. He ushers you to take it, and you do, and now he’s giddily leading you to captains quarters without even giving you a second to think. Luffy’s big smile should be concerning (especially at this hour), but you pay no mind and allow him to pull you along.

You don’t recall ever being in Luffy’s quarters before, but it’s about how you’d expect. Sheets of paper covering tables, photos, and his personal belongings scattered around but somehow still neatly. His bed, while unmade, looks the comfiest of any bed you’d seen on the ship; fit for a captain.

“Get comfy, y/n!” Luffy says, stepping over to blow out a candle to leave the room in darkness.

You do get comfy, slipping into his bed like it was made to be. It feels like the blankets double your warmth and hug you just in the right way, and his pillow is the perfect cool temperature. He slides in too, careful to avoid accidentally knocking into you in the dark, but wrapping an arm around your midpoint and pulling your body close to him when he’s settled.

Luffy draws shapes on your arm to help your sleepiness kick in, but the fact that he’s cuddling with you in his bed… sleep is definitely not going to find you tonight. You try to calm your beating heart, but to feel his bare legs against yours, how he’s holding you against him, his fingers dancing on your skin, and his breath gently hitting the back of your neck, you’re wide awake.

You can feel the blush on your face, but Luffy seems unbothered. You try to match his slow breathing, and it helps, but you can still only think about him. How couldn’t you? You’ve got butterflies. Oh god. You think about his arm resting on your hip. You wonder if his eyes are closed, or if he’s thinking about you too? You try to listen to his heartbeat.

You don’t realize you dozed off until the sun shines through Luffy’s window. He pulls you closer in rejection to the sun, burying his face into your neck. What a soft side of Luffy, you think to yourself. The butterflies from last night come back and you wonder if he feels them too. Though his snoring says he isn’t feeling much of anything, right now.

When you wake for the second time, the ship’s sounds consist of Sanji’s cooking, Zoro, Chopper and Usopp chatting close by, Franky, Nami, Robin and Brook in the distance. But Luffy still is wrapped around you, while awake, but holding you close. You smile to yourself… you could get used to this.

Just worry about what the rest of the ship will say when you emerge from Luffy’s quarters!

Monster Trio catching Latina S/o dancing to cumbias while doing chores on deck and joins her

Songs will be included at the end of the post :)

Crack fic, fluff, Established relationships, Y/n is just in her ✨señorita✨era, slight nsfw it’s suggestive. Zoro being a dacryphiliac, slight racism mentioned in sanjis (angst)

Luffy

Song- “El Chico Apartmento 512 ” by Selena

-Luffy was going to get you from waxing the Sunny’s deck, but it turns out you beat him to it.

- you’ll be shaking your hips little by little. Just humming to it.

- you’re just moving your feet to the beat. It’s all muscle memory.

-“ Hey y/n I just wanted to see if- OOOH LEMME DANCE WITH YOU!” He’ll run straight towards you to dance with you.

-you’ll feel relived when it’s just him. you find it funny over the fact. You finished cleaning the deck at 5:12 pm when the song has number 512

- if he finds you singing along. He’s gonna be terrible so terrible y’all will get a warning from a cranky zoro who can’t nap in peace 😭

-“what? I liked the song!” luffy will pout.

-either that or he won’t care. He’ll just be on his way to play with ussop and chopper

-“it doesn’t matter we can’t let you or zoro get arrested because of some cumbia.” Sanji explained as he was serving you a drink and appetizers.

- That was until he saw a angy y/n with her eyes twitching, and your delicate skin shivering. this was one of the rare times luffy or sanji has ever seen you mad like at all. We don’t tolerate Selena slander

-“y/n Chan is right behind me isn’t she.” Luffy just nodded silently. as you kicked his back, and slapped him with the chancla.

”never turn off my shit again unless I ask you to.”

-you let him go and just continued your chores.

Zoro

“Piensa en mi “ byGrupo Mojado

-Zoro would be napping and bopping his head along to the song playing.

-he’d just be bored, without you again missing you in your presence. He goes to see what you’re doing and you’re dancing with a teddy bear

- he couldn’t help but blush and smile. “Oi, if you wanted me to dance with you should’ve asked me.”

-“AHH! How long were you standing there!?!”

-“ a few seconds.” he rolled his eyes as he walked over to you after leaning against your door entry way.

-he began dancing with you. “Like this right?” He mumbled. And you nodded in reply.

-THE FACT HE REMEMBERS HOW TO DANCE CUMBIAS WHEN YOU TAUGHT HIM IS SO ADORABLE

-“what is guy saying it’s pretty catchy.” He asks as you both continue to dance in your sleeping quarters.

-“ Piensa en mi means think of me and llorar por mi means cry for me.”

-“you think you can cry for me right now?” He whispered huskily as he threw onto your bed.

-“ZORO!”

Sanji

Song- “Chiquilla ” By A.B Quintanilla III Y Los Kumbia Kings

- now this would happen when you’re helping sanji clean up the kitchen and the dining area. Since you always help him wash the dishes. you and your music playing.

- When you started putting up the dishes that were ready to dry, you saw a familiar blonde cook hum along to the song.

-he then lit his cigarette and puffed out the smoke, chuckling lightly as he is watching you dance while cleaning like a true Hispanic mother waking you up around 7-8 am blasting cumbias.

-“ Oi! Luffy I thought I told you I don’t want you in my- Y/n! MEROLINEEE!!! What are you doing?! washing dishes!?” He was so shocked and you giggled at him placing the clean dish down embracing him. He couldn’t help but feel bad, but relieved at the same time.

-The crazy captain was driving the poor guy to insanity Lowkey.

-“helping you so you can have more time to relax. You overwork yourself corazón.” You stood on your tippy toes to kiss him if you’re short.

- he just sighed happily at you. “Since you’re the one insisting on me having this time of relaxation, would you care to have this dance with me mon amour?”

-“why of course. this song reminds me of you heavily.” you giggled at the fact that the song does indeed remind you of sanji. talking about how you have him trapped in thoughts just by seeing you and only you.

. “This song reminds you of me?” His eyes widened a bit as you took the cigarette out of his mouth back onto his acrylic ashtray. you nodded

-“it’s a cute love song that’s why, talking about how I stole your heart.” it really reminded of how society won’t like y’all mostly because of racism. you were surprised about how much he wanted to pursue you. In which he succeeded.

- So far everyone’s been supportive. I mean yes y’all have had people give you weird stares at you in public. but that didn’t matter to sanji, he’ll literally kick in a bitch. Like this one time someone told you to go back into your own country.

THOMP

-and of course it was an old person. He got him real good and defended you countless times

- nah but that’s when you knew he was the one. Because sanji really did keep his word. And he always will.

-“you really have captured my heart my darling.” he grinned as he spun you around. Mans was good at dancing.

-“since that day I have confessed my feelings to you, you have never been out of my sight. I knew I just have to protect you. I’m sorry you have had to go through so much. Mon amour.”with the most beautiful hair, pretty (colored) orbs. A beautiful smile. And a kind heart.If only you could understand how lucky Sanji is to have someone like you.

-“I promise to do my best to protect you with all of my life, and strength that the oceans let me, just to be by your side.” He whispers that type of shit into your hair when you’re dancing with him. you hugged him as the song ended

-“Any special Request for dinner tonight?”

-“you.” You’ll smirk at him, he’ll carry you bridal style and let’s just say the dish tonight was cafe con leche 😏😏

Hi 💕 I'm so happy to see another op blog 🌻 can I request Zoro falling in love with an uncultured and oblivious reader? I mean like she didn't understand the world much because she's lived in her little island all her life and joined the strawhats. I thought it'd be curious to see a sweet girl taking our marimo's heart 🥺 Ty Ty Ty 💚

authors note : hello ! im more then happy to participate as a new blog <3 and i’d be thrilled to write such a thing ! the idea of reckless and somewhat ‘ mean ‘ characters x oblivious and kind is always very cute , a ton of fun. i just did headcanons + a small drabble , hope that’s okay.

Zoro x Oblivious/Naive! Reader Headcanons

• It was almost annoying how sweet you were, so harmless... at least to the naked eye. The day Zoro saw you in action for the first time was a sight he’d never forget. It was odd, almost. Even when you were fighting, whacking marines down one by one.. you still had that innocent expression on your face. Why were you so nice? And the way you apologized to the men you were beating down was even weirder. It didn’t match the rapid swing of the weapon that stayed in clutch of your hands. What sort of aspiring pirate has manners like that!? Usopp was kind, yes, same with Chopper but you were on a whole new level. It was cute but it also bothered Zoro, to a degree.

• With your background, you were bound to confuse things and make wrong assumptions. Wether the way you reacted to Franky’s appearance in Water Seven, not seeing anything wrong with his lack of clothing, or the way you would try and drink the cups of sake Zoro would forget about, mistaking it for water. It was cute, a lot of the crew found your mishaps and almost childish esque knowledge to be cute, Sanji and Robin especially. Zoro found it to be the cutest thing, he felt his heart squeeze everytime you giggled in embarrassment or turned red as Nami had to educate you on certain things.

• Yet, Zoro did his best to hide his interest in you. What did the worlds best future swordsman need some country bumpkin for? Plus, it’s not like Zoro was a huge romantic in the first place. Alas, it was impossible to keep under wraps. The way you freely clung to your crew members, or even giving them small kisses on their cheeks, that prevented Zoro from being capable of hiding how flustered he’d get.

• At first, he assumed you were some sort of moron, having no problem with being touchy with people. But no! Apparently, it was a regular thing to do in your village, something strictly platonic. Zoro was both relieved but also disappointed. He was relieved due to how close you were with Sanji but he was a tad grumpy that your small pieces of affection didn’t mean anything.

• Zoro would eventually make an attempt to confess or at least suggest such feelings, mainly at the force of Nami and Usopp. He tried numerous times with the help of the pair, only to have you giggle and reply with a care free smile.

• Now, no way you were this stupid! You were twenty for christ’s sake... how could someone of that age, regardless of surroundings be oblivious to a deceleration of love?

• Even if your oblivious nature annoyed him to the core, he would do his best to keep such a clean mind for you. He’d scold Brook if he asked for your panties, and would certainly beat Sanji if he tried anything weird with you.

• The day you actually confess, Zoro won’t believe you. He’ll assume you just mean your heart yearns for him in a platonic way, in the most harsh jab of platonic kinship.

• When you two actually start going out, Zoro is left in crippling debt to the navigator. Nami definitely had to sit you down and explain in depth about how Zoro viewed you, about what he meant everything he said he ‘liked’ you. Zoro is more then grateful to have you as his s/o now but now his pockets ache with severe emptiness.

Zoro x Oblivious/Naive! Reader Oneshot

Zoro had finally finished working out for the evening, his muscles aching with fatigue. He was heading to the Sunny’s garden to fetch some tangerines out of the garden. Fruit was always refreshing, especially after a hard workout.

As he opened the gyms door, he spotted you. Zoro couldn’t help but feel his cheeks prickle with a pink colour, embracing the sight of you watering the flowers you and Robin had grown together. You looked so cute, so joyous. The way your eyes could light up so much over a mere flower bed made no sense to Zoro. Yet, he loved it. He loved the faces you made when you were happy, your round eyes curling upward and shut as you laughed.

Sadly, for Zoro, his moment of admiring you would be cut short by the two biggest perverts on the Sunny. Is there even a moment in the day where they take a break off such a repulsive hobby?

“Y/n-san, can i see your underpants?” Brook asked, as casual as ever. Him and Sanji were oogling at the sight of your legs. The question visibly confused you as you raised your brows, mouth dipping into a small o.

“Why, what for?” You asked, looking up at the two men as you let the watering can rest at your feet. You had often seen Nami beat the two up over this question, and even Robin didn’t hesitate to glare at the two, causing a sudden cold chill to fill the area. Were you not supposed to? There wasn’t a huge deal with clothes, right? Nami always walked around in her bikini tops and Franky only ever wore his speedo.. It was okay, wasn’t it? Was it a representation of eternal friendship, you wondered. If so then why would Nami...-

“It represents a never ending love, Y/n-swan!” Sanji followed Brook’s statement with. He felt guilty for lying to you but was it truly a lie? You were only supposed to show your under clothing to the people you love!

An excited smile replaced your puzzled expression. “Really?” You stood up, “Is that why Franky shows his? Because he loves us?”

Brook and Sanji just nodded with overjoyed looks on their faces. Finally! They had a crew member who would do such a thing for them...

The soft expressions were immediately wiped away at the hands of Zoro. Zoro had kicked Brook’s head square off his shoulders, delivering his elbow to Sanji’s side in one swift move.

“Oi! Leave Y/n outta your perverted crap!” Zoro barked, crossing his arms as he snarled at the blonde and the skeleton. “Ya best leave them alone, unless you want Nami to find out.”

You couldn’t help but feel confused from the complicated scenario that unraveled before your eyes. Why was Zoro so furious? Why would Nami be upset over that, too?

“Thanks, Zoro! I think...” You murmured, unsure what to say. Were you supposed to be angry that he hurt your other friends? Or did he do the right thing...? You had no clue!

Zoro blushed at the sight of you, the way you gave him the most genuine smile a person could muster made his heart jack hammer into his ribs. You really had no clue how you made him feel, did you?

“It’s fine.. it’s what you’re supposed to do for the people you....love, anyway.” Zoro muttered, earning loud gasps from the men that remained on the ground. Yet, all your reaction carried was a bright smile.

“Really? I’m going to go hit Usopp, then! Nami always does!” You beamed proudly, as if picking up on some ‘wonderful’ advice from Zoro.

All Zoro did was sigh. How long would it take until you noticed him, until you noticed what he meant?

What a moron.

It was late in the night when I crept into the kitchen of the Thousand Sunny for a small snack.  I knew the pantry was locked away, but I had been hoping that there was something left out that could be munched on.  I sighed in defeat as I scan the room, not a bowl of fruit or leftover plate to be seen.  Figures, if there was anything available outside of the pantry the captain would've tore into it by now. I turn to leave when a tall figure stops me and I squeak out in surprise until the unmistakable smell of cigarette wafts my nose, "Sanji?" "Y/N, it's only you.  I heard noises and assumed the captain was attempting another pantry break-in."  He pauses to snuff out his cigarette in the ashtray nearby, "What are you doing?" I shift on my feet awkwardly, "I was in the mood for a snack..."  I impishly reply. His face breaks into a grin, "I have an idea then."  He says as he walks over to the fridge while rifling around his pants pocket.  Unlocking the fridge he moves a few things around before pulling out a bowl of strawberries and whipped cream.  I follow him to the couch and patiently wait as he opens the whipped cream container and sits it to his left, me on his right.   He scoops up a bit of the whipped sweetness with a strawberry and puts it up to my lips.  I giggle and roll my eyes, but take a bite of the treat anyways.  The flavors swirl together wonderfully and my eyes close as I hum in delight.  Sanji finishes that bite and moves to get another.  We repeat the process three times when the fourth strawberry has more whipped cream than the others. Sanji uses his thumb to wipe the access cream off my upper lip, and I surprise the both of us when my tongue darts out to lick the whipped cream off his thumb.  His eyes widen while my cheeks burn red, and for a moment no one moves.  When our eyes finally lock it's like something between us clicked, the blonde man leaning forward to catch my lips in a kiss.   It quickly turns heated as I scoot over, removing any space between us while clutching his shirt.  His hand slides around to the back of my neck, encouraging me to come even closer.  He slowly coaxes me on my back, his free hand now at my hip.  As his hand slowly slides up, exposing my skin I shudder and pull my shirt down. "I'm sorry, too much?"  He asks as he pulls away from my lips. I avoid eye contact as I attempt to explain the problem, "I just, don't exactly have the body like Nami and Robin."  I mumble out. A breath of a gasp comes from Sanji, who gently pulled me back up, "You shouldn't compare yourself to them, your beauty is above the average woman!"  He moves to sit on his knees in front of me, his hands on my upper thighs.  As he gently rubs them he continues to speak, "It's not women like them that are permanently etched in marble, but women of your beauty!" He again lifts my shirt to just under my breasts and begins to kiss along my stomach.  My entire face has blossomed into a deep blush, but I don't stop the man.  I watched with wide eyes as he covered my entire midsection with kisses, slowly allowing myself to relish in the attention.   He pushes my shirt even higher, my entire body tensing up again as his breath dances over my hardening nipples. "Is this okay?"  He asks, his calculating eyes scanning my face. I slowly nod, "It's just, embarrassing..."  I mumble, feeling awkward about how nervous I was.  The attention felt good, it just wasn't something that didn't happen often. "I'll be careful with you,"  He whispers before slipping a nipple into his mouth.  I let out a shaky breath, my eyes fluttering shut as his tongue swirls around my skin.  He repeats the motion on my other nipple, my fingers sliding through his hair. He scoots me to the edge of the seat and slides his hands under my skirt, "Can I?"  He asks as his fingers wrap around the edge of my panties.  I nod, my exposed chest heaving.  He pulls them down and gently sets them on the seat beside me.  He leans towards my core, momentarily stopping to gaze at me.  My legs instinctually try to close at his stare, but he stops me and spreads them more than they were before.  "Don't, you look so beautiful like this..."  He tells me as he leans even closer, his cheeks flush as he admired me. When his tongue slides through my damp slit I let out a pleased whine.  Encouraged by it Sanji delves deeper, his tongue dancing along my folds and flickering over my clit.  The more vocal I got the more Sanji worked to please me.  His arms wrap around my upper thighs to help pull him closer to me, his tongue wiggling as deep into my hole as he could get before sliding back up to suck on my clit. "Sanji... More, please!"  I say, Sanji moaning into my pussy.  He removes one of his arms from around my thigh to wiggle his fingertips around my hole before sliding a single digit in.  After a few pumps he adds a second, and the moment he curls his fingers I come undone.  My hands shoot down onto his head to help center myself, seeing stars as my toes curl. Once down from my high he peppers kisses up my body before focusing on my neck, "You're the most gorgeous thing I've ever laid my eyes on,"  He whispers into my ear, my body shuddering in reaction to his words. Finally feeling some confidence I palm at his strained cock through his slacks, gasping at the size I was feeling. "Y/N, you don't need to,"  He mumbles into my neck. I give him a squeeze, "Please, I want you to." He nods his head and unbuttons his pants while I crane my neck to get a view of what I had felt.  My eyes widen, realizing it was bigger than it felt through his clothes.  Once his bottoms were pulled down and his dick was free I grab it, stroking it a few times before guiding it towards my center. As he sheaths himself inside me I let out a low moan, feeling fuller than I've ever felt.   He moans softly into my ear as he slowly thrusts into me, swiveling his hips every time he bottoms out.  I wrap my legs around his waist and encourage him to speed up, my moans coming louder and more frequent as his pace picks up.   "Faster, I'm so close, please!"  I moan out as I grip his shoulders, my insides twitching as I feel another orgasm coming.  He obliges me while nibbling on my earlobe, his hand moving to my breast to tenderly pinch and pull my nipple.  It's enough to send me over the edge and my body goes rigid as I cum again. Sanji's hips turn erratic as he moves to wrap his arms around me, hugging me as he whispers sweet nothings into my ear.  I grab him by the hair and adjust his head so our lips meet, our kiss sloppy as we both moan together.   "I'm... I'm gonna,"  He groans into my mouth, my only response being that I wrap my legs tighter around his waist.  He takes the hint and turns to put his face into my neck, his moans deep as his hips twitch.  It feels like he was going to cum forever and I felt even fuller having both his cock and cum deep inside me.  His body goes limp except his arms, keeping him from fully laying on top of me.   His cock is too big to slip out once he goes soft, and the both of us let out a soft moan as he finally pulls out.  Cum immediately oozes out of me, spilling onto the floor with a lewd splat. I start to cover myself with my arms, the high from pleasure wearing off as my self-consciousness kicks in.  He stops me, kissing above my breasts, "Never be ashamed of how glorious your body is,"  He tells me, his cheeks red and eyes glimmering as he admires me. He really knew how to make a woman feel special.

Morning Kisses

This is for the amazing @burnthoneymint Sanjifest! Thank you for hosting such a fun event!!! Fluff ship ahoy. 

Prompt"If you truly believe you can get me out of bed before ten a.m. then you're delusional." 

Life with the strawhats was so strange. For a group so off the wall, they all abided by one odd rule: everyone is present for meals.  Even now mornings were the most difficult. Does breakfast really need to be this early? You thought stirring as Nami and Robin got up and dressed. Yawning you pulled the covers over your head. 

“I can see you’re awake.” Nami stated, poking your form under the covers. 

“5 more minutes..” you whined, refusing to budge. 

“Okay then but if you’re not quick Luffy will eat everything..” she warned, the door clicked shut and you were left to peaceful silence. Another yawn escaped your lips and snuggled back into the cocoon, sleep pulled you back in rather quickly. 

-

“Nami-san, Robin-chan. Good morning!” Sanji sang happily, setting down their usual morning beverages in front of them. He looked between them and noticed one fair maiden was missing. 

“She’s still in bed.” Robin said with a smile, “why don’t you go wake her.” she added lifting her cup of coffee to her lips “you may have more luck.” Sanji nodded, everything was ready and Luffy wasn’t up yet so the food was safe for a time. He hurried out of the kitchen and towards’ the girl’s sleeping quarter. A place he was usually banned from and he wouldn’t think of sneaking into their room. Composing himself, he knocked on the door and waited for a reply. Calling your name a few times but no response. “I’m coming in!” he called, reaching nervously for the handle. Opening the door slowly and poking his head in “Breakfast is ready..” he announced again but no response. Closing the door behind him he ventured into the room, heading across to your bed, “my most radiant star are you awake?” he asked, peering over the lump of covers and caught a glimpse of you sleeping peacefully. 

He jolted as he gazed upon your sleeping face just visible from the cocoon. His heart thumping loudly. She’s so beautiful! I need to wake her but...she’s so cute.  Sanji fell to the floor dramatically, what a dilemma he had wandered into. No! I must wake her!  Rising to his feet, taking a deep breath, he reached and stroked your hair gently, you grumbled and tried to hide away under the covers.

“My dear, it’s morning. Breakfast is ready-”

"If you truly believe you can get me out of bed before ten a.m. then you're delusional." you whined back, peering over the covers at him. Sanji felt himself in awe at your cutestness. He hadn’t seen this side of you: yet anyway. Smiling to himself, he knelt on the bed and kissed your forehead that was exposed. You squirmed in shock and dove under the covers. “Thats..thats cheating!” you exclaimed loudly. Venturing from your cocoon enough to try and look angry at him. Sanji just blushed and chuckled at your attempted angry eyes.

“You’re positively too cute,” Sanji teased, “but is there nothing I can do to pry you out of bed?” he asked, “I cooked your favourites for breakfast and-”

“I can’t eat them later?” you looked at his sad face, ahh..that’s not fair..he’s so adorable.. “I suppose I could muster the energy to get out of bed but-” you paused a moment and rolled your head towards him “but it’s going to take a lot of kisses.” thankfully the covers were covering most of your face to hide the blush growing on your face and the cheeky smile washing over your lips. For a moment you thought you saw steam rising off Sanji’s face as he processed your request. He leant over and tried to kiss you but you hid out of sight. “I never said I’d go willingly.” you added, giggling under the covers.

Sanji knew the growing threat of Luffy being awoken by the smell of food. He had to act quickly. Taking a deep breath and kicking off his shoes “excuse me.” he said, climbing onto the bed and using his muscular legs to pin your arms to your body under the covers and tugging the cover down away from your shocked face. 

“Wait- what-” you were silenced by a quick kiss and then another. Blinking in confusion you tried to wiggle yourself free but to no avail “sanji! Thats cheating-” another more passionate kiss leaving you dizzy. Sanji smirked at you. 

“I was never told all the rules.” he stated with a shrug of his shoulders and cupping your face in both his soft but calloused hands peppered your face with soft light little kisses. You giggled and wiggled under him, in a poor attempt to free yourself.

“Sannjii!” you said between laughter “Okay okay you win.  I’m up” Sanji looked down at you with a bright smile and celebrated with one last kiss, letting his lips linger against yours for just a mite longer. “I can’t get up unless you get off..” Sanji reluctantly climbed off the bed and slipped his shoes back on. 

“I shall go prepare your coffee then,” he announced, “and-” he quivered as a pair of arms wrapped around his waist and a head rested on his back.

“So..do  I always get morning before breakfast kisses from now on?” you asked nuzzling his back taking in the scent of his cologne.

“I think I can manage that delightful request.” Sanji hummed, turning to face you cupping your face gently running his thumb over your cheek. One more kiss. He succumbed to his desire and kissed you again even slower than before.  “Now then. Breakfast will be in pearl if we dally any longer.”  he said, finally managing to pry himself away from exciting the room letting you change in peace. I must savour these precious moments.. He thought touching his lips softly as he headed back towards the kitchen, a blinding smile spread across his face.

[slurp-imagines]

Hello Mac-san ! Moppo-chan would like a request if you don't mind ! Some headcanons about those boyos (Sabo, Luffy and Sanji + Law) reactions to their S/O, as, usually in the mornings, the bois saying "good morning" to the crush, but what if this time the crush do the first step for once and grabbing their collar to kisses them as "good morning" kiss ? Tysm for your time and have an amazing day/night ! -Moppo-chan out !

hi! unfortunately I’m a stickler for the rules and I only allow 3 characters at a time for headcanons. I just chose the 3 that I was the most inspired to write. I also wasn’t sure if you meant s/o or their crush who they weren’t dating yet? I ended up going with the crush scenario though. thanks sm for sending this request!

Getting a good morning kiss from their crush: Sanji, Luffy, & Sabo

Sanji

Sanji just straight up short-circuits lol

He goes stiff as a board, and his crush probably feels disheartened for a few seconds because he’s too stunned to kiss back. He probably hadn’t even let himself consider the possibility that his crush liked him back.

Other crew members probably tried to clue him in but he has such low self-esteem that he was kind of in denial about it... So this kiss would catch him completely off guard. He’s just blushing up a storm, eyes blown wide. So awkward

It would take his crush stepping back and apologizing for Sanji to finally snap out of his stupor. Even then he’s not super coherent, though. He’s used to offering up his affections and getting very little in return, so now that they’ve made the first move, he’s kinda speechless. He never planned to get this far lmao

His heart’s pounding out of his chest while he tries to ask his crush how they feel toward him. The kiss is pretty telling, but he has to hear it. For his own peace of mind

Once he knows for sure that they’d welcome it though, he’s definitely going in for another kiss. He has the purest, happiest smile on when he pulls back. His heart is genuinely singing

Monkey D. Luffy

Luffy is sooo thrilled about this, and like always, he’s not afraid to show that. Because he loves surprises! And his crush suddenly kissing him is like, the best surprise ever

His first reaction is probably to laugh. Just a big, happy, pink-faced giggle. It’s probably the cutest thing his crush has ever seen

And then he’s immediately like “Can I have another?”

Not sure if it’s cute that he asks for kisses like he’s asking for more food lol, but hopefully his crush will indulge him.

He probably goes in for another after that, too. And another. Maybe like 10, they’d end up having to fight him off lol. Once he’s got someone in a hug it’s not easy to get him off, though, and that’s doubly true for his crush

So he’s definitely sticking to them like glue the rest of the day. He’s just so happy!! And he feels really lucky to have them and that he can spend more time with them.

Sabo

Another one that’s super thrilled, and shows it!

But Sabo is different from Luffy in that he gets pretty embarassed about it, even while he’s smiling and hugging them around the waist and tugging them closer.

He probably asks before he kisses them again, too. So precious

And then he literally can’t stop thinking about it. Before he goes to sleep that night, he’ll remember the kiss and just start grinning and pressing his face into the pillow and kicking his feet. He’s so mushy about it lmao

He lowkey comes to expect it after that too though. The next day he’ll say good morning to them with this lingering pause afterward, hoping they’ll grab his shirt and kiss him again.

If they don’t, then that’s fine, they’re definitely not obligated to. But like..... it would be really nice, and cute, and he thinks they’d both feel better with it, soooo

He wouldn’t say anything though, which is a prime teasing opportunity for his crush. He wouldn’t want to admit that he’s pouting but it’d be so obvious why. Pls just give the boy another kiss so he can go about his day like normal

Baby Fever

Category: General Fluff

Fandom: One Piece

Characters: Monkey D. Luffy, Nami, Red-Haired Shanks, Makino

Requested By: @deliathedork (Tumblr)

Nami stared critically up at the Jolly Roger flapping in the breeze far above her head. It was an impressively daunting illustration, a laughing skull with bright red paint streaking over the left eye overlaying two red-hilted blades. Rightly so, it would strike fear into the hearts of countless many, being the Jolly Roger of one of the four Emperors of the Grand Line. Any normal pirate would turn tail and flee as quickly as they could; if they were a bit on the reckless side, maybe, they would probably try to engage in a parlay or at least ascertain why such an impressive vessel manned by an even more impressive crew was pulling up on their stern. That’s what Nami would have down if she were captain.

However, she was not captain. Luffy was captain. And Luffy was currently vaulting himself over the side of the ship screaming like a man possessed.

“Shaaaaaaaanks! What’s uuuuuuuuup?!” The tangerine-haired navigator watched with a wearied expression as her captain, stretchy limbs and straw hat and all, all but invaded the deck of the neighboring ship to disappearing behind the balustrade. She knew that Red-Haired Shanks was an acquaintance of his and very likely meant no harm, but considering they were openly challenging Emperors left and right these days, Shanks might have just gotten a little tipsy and decided to come test Luffy’s mettle. Based on the chorus of excited cheers and laughter that were drifting down from the deck of the comparably taller ship, Nami doubted this was the case. However, she and Robin shared the only brain cells of the ship, and she maintained them by being cautious.

“Luffy! How many times do I have to tell you not to rush into things? Oh, good grief, why am I bothering? He isn’t listening,” she grumbled while crossing her arms. Franky and Usopp installed the gangplank so they could cross the thin stream of waves separating the two vessels, and considering how easily the rest of them strolled on over like they had known the Red-Haired Pirates all their lives, she supposed her concern was unwarranted. Still, one of these days, those imbeciles were going to give her a heart attack.

Nami crossed the gangplank to see that Luffy was hugging the one-armed, red-haired man tightly, with his stretchy arms wound several times around him as he nuzzled his cheek into his upper forearm.

“Shanks! Dude! I have so much to tell you! I’ve kicked soooooo many asses, you wouldn’t believe it! Hey, hey, lemma introduce my crew to you, yeah? Have you seen our bounties? Aren’t they awesome?” he was gabbing incessantly as Shanks looked on with a mix between a fatherly smile and an overwhelmed laugh. Nami pushed through the crowd of pirates to stomp right over to her captain and start tugging on the back of his red vest.

“Luffy! What are you, ten? Behave with some dignity, why don’t you?” she scolded hotly as she stretched the fabric up and down. Luffy immediately began to pout and stuck out his tongue at her. “Excuse me?” He winced at her thunderous stare, then his body drooped like a scolded puppy’s. Muttering under his breath, he unwound his arms from around Shanks and obediently released him so that Nami could deposit him a respectable distance away. “That’s more like it.”

“Wow, Luffy, your girlfriend sure is a firecracker,” the man laughed good-naturedly. Nami’s cheeks flushed pink and she held up her hands in a gesture of rebuttal.

“What? No! I’m just his navigator!”

“That’s right! How dare you disrespect Nami-swan like that! Come here! I’ll kick your ass even if you are an Emperor!” Sanji shouted and approached Shanks with a cigarette clenched in his teeth, rolling up his sleeves even though he was going to very obviously kick him. All it took was Nami batting her eyelashes and crooning a calming remark for Sanji to melt on the spot and cease his affront. Shanks eyed the puddle of Sanji wiggling on the deck of his ship.

“What a frightening young woman you are.”

“Yeah, Nami’s scary, isn’t she?” Luffy said as he propped his chin on her shoulder. She huffed and tilted his straw hat such that it was not bumping into her head, but allowed him to stoop over to perch on her shoulder. She was quite used to his complete lack of personal space. “Anyway, Shanks, what’re you doing in this neck of the woods? Don’t you got important Emperor stuff to do?”

“It just so happened that we crossed paths. I spotted your Jolly Roger. Really, I was just going to sail on by, but Makino insisted~” he trilled with a bellowing laugh. Nami gasped as Luffy’s eyes nearly bugged out of his head and he clamped his hands down on her shoulders, head wildly swiveling around just above hers.

“Makino?! What’s she doing here? Hey, Makino, hellooooooo?!”

“Stop shouting! You’re gonna make me go deaf!” she screamed at him with a harmless but emphatic bonk to the side of his head. Though it didn’t even leave a mark, he gave her the poutiest look her could while rubbing his temple where she had whapped him.

“Why do you get to shout and I don’t?”

“Heehee,” came a girlish giggle from the crowd. “You haven’t changed at all, Luffy.” Nami and Luffy both turned as a beautiful young woman holding a swaddled infant pushed through to stand beside the much broader and taller red-haired man. Again, Luffy’s eyes bugged out of his head as he beheld the small child. Rather than going to inspect himself, as he was apparently very comfortable with now propping his chin on the top of Nami’s head, he shoved her forward to her feet were forced to clumsily carry her over to the woman and her baby.

“Whoa! Makino, when did you have a baby? Who’s baby is it, anyway? Oh my God, are you a pirate now? Did you steal it?” he accused with a horrified gasp. Makino laughed at his ridiculous notion, while Nami scowled in embarrassment at her captain’s simply insurmountable stupidity.

“Luffy, you moron. I’m the father!” Shanks huffed, shaking his head with closed eyes as he rested his one hand on his hip. Nami was counting down the seconds to when Luffy’s eyes popped out of his head for good; he made some noise reminiscent of a spit-take as he stared incredulously at Shanks.

“When the hell did that happen?” he cried as he looked between the pirate and the young mother ridiculously fast. If his spine had not been made of rubber, his neck would have snapped from the force of him swiveling. His chin was creating enough static friction against her scalp to start a fire, so she clapped her hands onto his cheeks to fix his head into place, gaze on the wee infant peering up at him curiously. “I’m so confused,” he said in a nasally whine, but curiously reached up to poke the baby in the cheek. “It’s squishy.”

“Don’t antagonize it,” Nami tutted as the infant squeaked in clear irritation.

“Would you like to hold him, Luffy?”

“Ooooooh!” he squealed and reached over Nami’s shoulders with grabby hands. “Gimme! Gimme!”

“Absolutely not. You have no idea how to properly hold a baby,” Nami refused and took the baby from Makino as she held it out. Luffy’s shoulders slumped up to his ears as he frowned grumpily at her when she turned around, cradling the baby carefully. “Oh, don’t pout, you’ll get to hold him in a second,” she huffed. The rest of the Straw Hats were very curious about Makino’s little charge and crowded around, ogling in wonder.

“He certainly is a cute little baby,” Robin smiled serenely and stuck out her index finger, her eyes brightening as he grasped it with his wee little hand. Chopper was jumping up and down begging to see, so Zoro lifted him up by his scruff to deposit him on his broad shoulder. The baby bubbled and cooed at the reindeer, making him blush and laugh.

“Aw, you’re not cute at all, you little bastard~ <3” he squealed with very obvious delight as he wriggled gleefully on Zoro’s shoulder. The swordsman in question had his arms crossed as he gazed critically down at the baby.

“So, what can it do?”

“Moss-head, you absolute moron! It’s a baby!”

“Yeah, so? You can teach babies tricks, right?”

“Dear God, I hope you never procreate.” Sanji scowled as he put his cigarette out with the bottom of his dress shoe so as not to make the baby ill with the toxic fumes. They began quipping back and forth, and next thing Nami knew they were a few yards away scrapping with each other while the Red-Haired Pirates were yelling bets. Imbeciles, Nami thought with a roll of her eyes as she gently rocked the baby up and down. After a while, the rest of the Straw Hats became more invested in the daily fight of their cook and swordsman- except the captain. Apparently he was more invested in Nami’s promise of being able to hold the infant, and was standing rigidly beside her practically vibrating with anticipation.

“Nami, Nami, can I please hold it now?” he begged with a wheedling whine. Nami clicked her tongue, not sure it was responsible to make Luffy in any way responsible for a baby, but she didn’t want to deny him the experience. She stepped close to him as she prepared to put the baby in his arms.

“Okay, hold him very gently and support his head, okay? Babies don’t have strong necks and their skulls aren’t fully formed yet, so their heads are very, very vulnerable,” she instructed. Luffy nodded vigorously as he scooped the baby out of her arms, surprisingly very natural at adjusting to cradling the little guy. Nami couldn’t help but smile warmly as he grinned brightly down at the baby, who was waving his arms with delighted little squeals.

“Hey, there, little guy! Wow, you’re so happy! My name’s Luffy and I’m gonna be King of the Pirates, so remember that, okay?” he told him, smiling so hard that his eyes scrunched up into little crescent-moon shapes. He began bouncing the baby like Nami had been earlier, then looked at Makino quizzically.

“So, what’re you doing with Shanks, anyway? Why are you in Fuschia Village? The Grand Line is a dangerous place for a baby.”

“Yeah,” Shanks sighed and rubbed the back of his neck, obviously displeased with the situation. “I snuck over to be there for the little guy’s birth, but somehow it got out to the Marines. I couldn’t risk them going after Makino to get to me. Right now, the safest place for them is with me.”

“Oh,” Luffy grimaced. “See, Nami, this is why we have to kick the World Government’s ass.”

“Yes, yes, ass-kicking will come in due time,” she sighed wearily. Makino giggled. She had a tick of covering her mouth with a hand when she laughed, Nami noticed, that was very endearing. She could see why Shanks would fancy a woman like her. As they stood beside each other, lovingly watching Luffy hold and chatter at the baby, it was very obvious that they were a doting and natural couple. Good for them, she thought with a smile.

“Hey, Nami,” Luffy said, shuffling close to her while still bouncing the baby up and down against his chest, “I want a baby.”

The screech that spilled from her mouth was unholy. She back-pedaled away from the confused young man, falling against Shank’s broad form. He reflexively caught her by the shoulders; she knew it was reflexes because he currently had his head tipped back in the most raucous bout of laughter she had ever heard, so hard that his broad body shook violently against Nami’s comparably smaller frame. Makino was blushing with a hand over her mouth and was looking between the startled navigator and the innocent-looking Luffy.

“Luffy!” Nami huffed breathlessly.

“What? I want one.”

“Stop saying that!”

“But I want one!”

“You have no idea what you’re saying!”

“Uh, yeah, I do. Me. Baby. Want. Can I have one?” Nami groaned loudly and ran a hand over her face. Truly, his idiocy and obliviousness knew no bounds.

“Luffy, you are aware of what it takes to get a baby, right?”

“Uh, yeah, Makino gave me the talk.”

“Then why the hell are you asking me?!”

“Because! There are other ways to get a baby! Somebody must be getting rid of one.”

“Oh my- Luffy, oh my God.” She was standing up by her own accord now, because Shanks had doubled over wheezing from laughing so hysterically. His face was nearly as red as his hair and Nami was pretty certain they would have to get Chopper on the scene, because he was probably going to pass out from lack of oxygen soon. Nami struggled to keep her head from exploding from how high her blood pressure was jacked at the moment. “Luffy… You just said that the Grand Line is a dangerous place for babies, right? Therefore, we shouldn’t put a baby at risk. You’ve declared war on the World Government and are competing with many other pirates for the title of Pirate King, yes?”

“Oh… Well, when you put it that way…” He frowned deeply, cocking his head to the side. She thought maybe she had gotten through to him, until that stupid grin returned to his face. “So after I kick the World Government’s ass and I become Pirate King, then can we get a baby?”

“No!” she screeched and head-chopped him. “Babies are immense responsibility! They require around-the-clock attention! Also, people just don’t give away babies! Even if we did manage to find and adopt an orphan baby, we’d still have to care for it, and none of you morons have enough brain cells to manage caring for a fake plant, let alone a baby! And stop with this ‘we’ stuff! Why do you keep asking me?!”

“Because,” he muttered through clenched teeth, cross-eyed as he stared at her hand that was still softly bonking him in the top of the head, “You’re smart and responsible. You could teach me how to take care of a baby.”

“I give up,” she sobbed as she sank down to her hands and knees, completely overwhelmed by his complete lack of tact. She didn’t know if her heart could take anymore. Did he really not know what it truly meant to ask her for a baby? Somehow through her breakdown, he had managed to not mess up holding Makino’s baby; he had kept him safe and secure through her head-chops, and the baby wasn’t even upset by all her yelling, quite content with the way Luffy was bouncing him up and down. Not that it mattered. He could hold one, maybe, but when it came time to feed one, he would be trying to give him meat.

“Hey, little guy, you hungry? Sanji makes great meat.”

“I give up,” she sobbed again as she all but melted against the wooden deck. Shanks had recovered from his laughing fit and was sitting up beside her, still red-faced as he struggled to contain short bursts of giggles.

“Ahahaha, oh, man, that was funny as shit,” he snickered as he clapped Nami repeatedly on the shoulder. “You sure have your work cut out for you with this moron.”

“I told you! I’m not his girlfriend!” she shrieked, and Emperor or no, he was still on the receiving end on one of her vicious whaps. He looked at her like a wounded puppy as he rubbed the welt where she had struck his chin with an uppercut.

“I didn’t say that! Luffy! She’s scary!”

“Yeah, I told you, shoulda listened,” Luffy shrugged and whirled on his heel to carry the baby over to where Sanji and Zoro were still fighting. “Hey, check it out, little guy! This is what a fight looks like! You’re gonna grow up to be a real ass-kicker just like us, right?” he was laughing as he made sure the baby could see the cook and swordsman whacking at each other like there was no tomorrow.

“You’re an idiot,” she sighed as she sat up and brushed her strands of tangerine hair- which probably had streaks of gray by now- from her face. Still, she had to smile. She had to admit, Lufdy did look happy holding the little guy.

He had a long way to go, but someday, Nami didn’t doubt that he would make a great father.

“Are you sure you aren’t Luffy’s girlfriend?” Makino asked as she crouched down beside her. “That was an awful lov-“

“No! No! Nope! Not happening! No, thank you!” Nami yelled with emphatic shakes of her head, literally screaming denials as it was her face that took on the crimson hue of Shanks’ famous red hair. Before the two could interrogate her anymore about feelings she was certainly not ready to discuss or even acknowledge, she scrambled over to Luffy to make sure he was actually taking care of the baby.

Great father he could be in the future, but right now, he was still dumb as a sack of rocks when it came to babies.

~Bonus~

Shanks sighed contentedly as he watched the flustered girl scurry away from his and Makino’s continuous prodding. With another short laugh, he tossed the long strands of his red hair from his face and motioned for Makino to sit down on the deck beside him; his legs were still jelly from laughing so hard he had nearly pissed himself, so there was no standing for him anytime soon. His beloved eased herself down onto her knees beside him, and his good arm immediately wound itself around her thin waist to hold her close. She rested her hand on his shoulder, smiling warmly as she watched young Nami berating Luffy for asking the baby if he wanted to hold one of Zoro’s swords.

“He’s come a long way, hasn’t he?” she sighed. Shanks nodded in agreement, then snorted in laughter.

“Still a long way to go, though. ‘Specially when it comes to women. I thought Nami was gonna kill him.” Makino giggled. He always loved her giggles. They resounded like clear bells in the morning, vibrating in his soul and lighting it alive. Watching Luffy handle his son out of the corners of his eyes, he pressed a kiss into her temple. “I love you, Makino.”

“I love you too, honey.” He smiled against her green hair, inhaling her sweet scent of summer grass and honeysuckle accented by the pungent sourness of the ale she served in the bar in Fuschia Village. He began to rub small circles into the small of her back.

“So, wanna make a bet on when they get married?”

“I heard that!”

“Oh, hell, Jesus-“ he sputtered and did not manage to duck in time as Nami wrenched off her flip-flop and chucked it with deadly precision, striking him right in the middle of his forehead. As he fell roughly down onto his back, Makino was making those delighted giggles next to him, and he had to smile despite the stinging pain in his forehead.

Glad you found yourself a nice girl, Luffy… Although, she scares me.

A Night Out (Part Two)

Part One

Note: I banged my face on the keyboard and this came out. 

Also, a quick reminder that my OC Luna makes an appearance in this because she’s a drag queen in her original universe. She’s a beautiful, funny trans babe and I hope you like her.

And tagging @optigeress because without you, this AU would be nothing more than a small idea in the back of my head. ^^

And, uh, sorry, if you’re seeing this and just now following my blog and you don’t know what the Performance AU is. I have a whole tag about it if you’re really curious to know more.

-

Sanji was confused. After the I.D. check at the door, he’d looked around the interior of The Whole Cake bar, looking for where Usopp would be set up to perform his song. He only found a small dance floor with tables situated around it in a semicircle, set up in front of a DJ booth. He looked at Zoro, who’d driven them, but his co-worker spotted Luffy, Nami, and Vivi holding a table for them next to the dance floor, and he walked off before Sanji could start asking questions.

“Zoro! Sanji! You came!” Luffy yelled from his spot when he noticed them. The young man scrambled out of his seat and ran up to Zoro, jumping up into his arms and wrapping his four limbs around him in a tight embrace.

Nami and Vivi looked at Sanji as he approached the table. Nami’s brown eyes glittered with amusement while she sipped her drink and Vivi smiled warmly at Sanji, getting up out of her seat to give him a hug. “Hi, Sanji,” she said, pulling back and ushering him to one of the free seats. “We’re so glad you could make it.”

“Yeah we are,” Nami said, an enigmatic edge to her voice.

Sanji beamed at them. “I’ll always have time for you two lovely ladies,” he chirped.

“Of course you will,” Zoro said as he and Luffy turned their attention to the rest of them, an arm hooked around Luffy’s neck. “That’s because you’re predictable.”

Sanji scowled at Zoro, who grinned at him as he and Luffy headed for the bar. Vivi giggled, causing Sanji’s irritation to melt away instantaneously as he turned his attention to the two women. “So I’m confused,” he said. “Zoro said Usopp’s doing a song tonight, but I don’t see a band or any kind of equipment set up.”

“That’s because Usopp’s going to–” Vivi began to say, until Nami quickly pressed her fingertips to her girlfriend’s lips.

“Ah ah!” Nami said cheerfully, the saccharine smile curling her lips at odds with the glint in her eye that reminded Sanji of a predatory cat–beautiful, deadly, and ready to pounce. “It’s all a part of the surprise. Remember, honey?”

Vivi smiled from behind Nami’s fingers. She nodded. “Oh, right,” she said when Nami pulled her hand away. “My mistake.”

“What’s with all the secrets, ladies?” Sanji asked, glancing across the room and scanning for Zoro and Luffy in the small crowd gathered at the bar. “Usopp’s just performing a song.”

Nami sipped at the last of her drink, her straw sucking up the the bright orange-pink liquid sitting at the bottom of a pile of ice. “We just want you to be surprised, Sanji-kun,” she said, pushing away the tall glass. “It’s best to go in not knowing anything.”

“I’ll take your word for it,” he said as Luffy and Zoro returned. 

Zoro handed Sanji a beer, sitting down next to him and taking a drink from his.

“Oh,” Sanji said, looking down at the bottle in his hand. “You didn’t have to.”

“Accept the drink, Cook,” Zoro said, eyes trained on a curtain situated in a corner of the room directly opposite to them.

Sanji looked at the curtain and figured that it led to a room where the talent could set up. That had to be where Usopp was. Given the DJ and the empty dance floor, Sanji assumed that Usopp wasn’t playing with a live band. He tried to guess what kind of genre of music Usopp would be working with until he heard Luffy say his name. 

“Did you bring any singles, Sanji?” Luffy asked, excitement coming off him in waves.

“Why would I need to–”

The room came alive with cheers and applause as the song currently playing transitioned into a drumroll. Sanji’s eyes turned to the curtain when he heard a loud “HEE HAW!” coming from its direction.

A purple haired drag queen sauntered past the curtain onto the dance floor, a microphone clutched in her gloved hand. “Good evening, candy boys, candy girls, and candy everything in between!” she bellowed into the microphone. “How are you all doing tonight?”

Sanji immediately looked at Zoro, who was grinning at him like a kid on Christmas morning. Suddenly his cagey responses and outright refusal to elaborate leading up to tonight made sense.

“I am your host, Emporio Ivankov!” the flurry of red and purple cried from the dance floor. She turned quickly, her gown spinning around her feet dramatically as she surveyed the crowd. Her eyes landed on Sanji’s table. “Do we have any newbies here tonight?”

Everyone at the table pointed at Sanji, who just sat there, frozen to his spot. Ivankov strutted up to the table, shoving the microphone in Sanji’s face. “Well, hi there, candy boy,” she purred. “Is this your first time at Whole Cake?”

Sanji nodded, unable to speak with his mouth clamped shut.

Ivankov stared down at Sanji through her outrageously long eyelashes. She chuckled. “Awww, you brought us a shy one. That’s adorable,” she cooed to the table. She turned with a swish of her skirts, the sequins on her gown sparkling in the light as she moved onto the next table. “I’ll remember that,” she said ominously.

While the hostess grilled other patrons, Sanji wheezed and turned his attention on Zoro, the weight of everyone’s stares pressing on him. “You didn’t tell me you were taking us to a drag show!” he shouted over the music.

Zoro, the rim of the bottle in his hand paused on his lower lip, smirked at Sanji. And despite his irritation, Sanji found himself distracted by Zoro’s mouth, jumping when he realized what he was looking at and forcing his gaze back up into Zoro’s eyes. “You didn’t ask.” Zoro said.

“Asshole!”

“Is there a problem, Sanji-kun?” Nami asked sweetly, grinning devilishly. 

Vivi gazed at him gently, concern furrowing her brow. “This isn’t too much for you, is it, Sanji?”

Sanji deflated. “I’m just...surprised, Vivi-chan.”

“Yeah, Cook,” Zoro said, grinning at him. “You got a problem with drag queens? Your friend’s one of ‘em, you know.”

Sanji puffed back up, grabbing Zoro by the collar and shaking him. “I didn’t know that because you didn’t tell me!”

“Hey!” Luffy said sharply, an uncharacteristic scowl darkening his features. “You’re gonna get yourselves kicked out! Usopp’s already nervous enough, wondering how Sanji’s going to react.”

Sanji looked over Luffy’s shoulder and saw the security guard posted by the entrance eyeing them. He grinned nervously, letting go of Zoro and making a show of brushing the other man off and patting down his shirt. “Sorry, Luffy,” he muttered, staring down at the tabletop. Luffy was just being the supportive boyfriend, looking out for Usopp’s best interests. Sanji couldn’t fault him for that. “This asshole just blindsided me.”

“You couldn’t have made it any easier.”

“Okay, but when you tell someone that you someone’s going to perform a song, they’re probably going to assume you meant singing!” Sanji snapped.

“Enough, you two,” Nami said, leaning against Vivi. “The first act is going to come on in a little bit. Just drink your beer.”

“Yes, ma’am,” Sanji said, shrinking in his seat.

Ivankov strutted back onto the stage. “All right, candies, grab a cock...tail, grab a shot, tip your bartender, and let’s give a warm welcome to our first performer tonight, Mizz Sakuraaaaa Sunriiiiiise! HEE HAW!”

Luffy cheered, throwing his hands up into the air as the rest of the bar clapped politely. He grinned at Sanji as a sultry jazz song came on. “That’s Usopp’s friend Luna!” he said, pointing as a drag queen in a champagne colored dress and faux fur wrap sauntered past the curtain and onto the dance floor.

Sanji blinked a few times as he watched this vision in gold lip synch to the music, her movements fluid and graceful, oozing feminine sexuality. Already people were surrounding the dance floor, holding out singles. Sanji looked at Zoro. “We tip them?”

Zoro nodded, sliding a small stack of singles towards him. “You wanna tip her?”

Sanji snatched the bills up. “I’ll pay you back,” he muttered, irritated that Zoro had kept him in the dark like this, leaving him unprepared in every sense tonight.

As their table was close to the floor, Nami and Vivi remained in their seats as they smiled at Luna–or should Sanji call her Sakura?–and held out their money for Sakura to reach out and take. She set her eyes on their table, gliding over to them and leaning down and kissing Nami and Vivi on their respective cheeks as she took their money. 

Zoro smirked, holding a folded up bill between his fingers. Luna smoldered over at him after she accepted money from Luffy, pushing her chest out towards Zoro and leaning closer. Chuckling, Zoro slipped the money into her cleavage and kissed her cheek as she kissed his. Sanji felt himself blushing, too flustered to do anything as Sakura winked at their table and glided away. He took a quick swig of his beer, deciding he’d get up and tip her when he got his bearings.

Ms. Sakura finished her route around the tables that the surrounded the dance floor, strutting to the center, where she tilted her head back as she pretended to belt out a sustained note. She raised her hands over her head, her fur wrap falling to the ground. The security guard came up behind her and picked up her wrap, folding it and setting it on the DJ booth for her to grab later.

Sanji adjusted his tie and cleared his throat, pushing himself out of his seat and joining the rest of the patrons circled around the floor, stopping at a long, tall table that came up to his chest. He grinned when Sakura turned her violet eyes on him, and he held his dollar bill out for her as he waited for her to approach him. Sakura Sunrise graciously accepted the money, leaning up to meet him halfway as he bent down to kiss her cheek. “Thank you, baby,” she said over the music before she turned her attention to the next patron.

Zoro caught him grinning as he returned to the table. “Looks like you’re having fun,” he observed as Sanji plopped back into his seat.

Grabbing his beer, Sanji glanced at Zoro. “I am, in spite of your attempts to make me look like a fool tonight.”

“You do that enough by yourself, Cook.”

Sanji slugged him in the shoulder while he took a drink.

“You do realize that everyone else had to be in on it for it to work, right?” Zoro asked.

“Yeah, well, you’re the ringleader, so you get all the blame,” Sanji said, sneering at Zoro as he set his drink back down.

Zoro laughed at him, holding a hand up placatingly as the song came to an end. Ivankov stood up from the seat she’d taken by the curtain, thanking Sakura as she disappeared into the back room. “HEE HAW! Up next is my adorable little protege, Miss Candy von Satin!” Ivankov said. Luffy howled in anticipation, already jumping out of his seat and running to stand by the dance floor, a stack of money at the ready. Sanji raised his eyebrow. 

“You know,” Ivankov continued, “she used to bartend here. She was scared of her own shadow until I told her to get out there. So you guys can thank me for what you’re about to see.”

“AND ME!” Luffy shouted.

Ivankov glanced at Luffy. She laughed behind her hand. “That’s her boyfriend over there. He’s a generous tipper.”

“You bet, Ivan-chan!”

Nami, hand in her cheek, chuckled. “He’s cute, isn’t he?” she asked and Sanji found himself nodding, happy that Usopp was dating someone so supportive.

“You all could learn from him,” Ivankov declared, exiting the dance floor. “Anyway, you better put your hands together for Miss Candy von Satin!”

Sanji could hear Luffy cheering above the crowd and the music pumping through the speakers as someone Sanji could only assume was Usopp, based on context and the familiar nose, pushed past the curtain and raced towards the floor. Sanji had to assume, of course, because he had not been expecting this person in a platinum blonde wig, a sparkling white leotard, thigh high boots, and a corset. He hadn’t expected this person, who was currently skipping in a circle on the dance floor while she lip synched to a bright, upbeat pop song.

Sanji’s mouth dropped. He rubbed his eyes and found that his vision was perfectly clear. He watched, taking in Candy’s energy as she danced all over the floor. It made sense, he supposed. Sluggish, Usopp was not. That pent up energy could easily be channeled into dancing. But Candy seemed so sure of herself, so confident as she dropped into a split to a roaring crowd, tossing her hair back and winking at Luffy, who hadn’t shut up since she’d come onstage.

Luffy tossed his handful of money over Candy’s head while she slowly, seductively pushed herself out of the splits and began her work on the floor, writhing and sliding like a dancer in a music video. Sanji blinked, looking at the rest of the table. Nami had her phone out, taping Ms. Candy von Satin. Zoro watched approvingly, holding his beer up as Candy looked over at their table, crawling slowly in their direction before getting to her feet, doing her circle around the dance floor to accept money from her adoring audience.

No one who knew Usopp seemed surprised, and the crowd was eating up Candy’s performance. And her energy was so infectious that Sanji found himself letting go of his preconceived notions of his friend, applauding with the rest of them and getting up to stand next to Luffy, holding out a couple of dollar bills. While he waited, he told himself that he’d have to visit the ATM he’d noticed earlier near the entrance, not only to pay back Zoro, but to take out more money. He’d be a hypocrite to not be a better tipper than the rest of the audience, knowing what it was like to put on a show for tips.

When Candy came to him, she pointed to her corset, instructing him to slip his dollars inside. Sanji obliged, mouthing the word “Hi” at her before they kissed each other’s cheeks. “Thanks, hon,” Candy said near his ear before prancing off to accept money from the rest of Sanji’s table.

When Candy von Satin finished her song, Ivankov walked onto the dance floor and whispered something in her ear. “That was Miss Candy von Satin, everybody!” Ivankov said while Candy panted and waved. “Oh, I just get tired looking at you,” Ivankov moaned. “I used to be able to do that...hmm-hmm...years ago.”

Ivankov passed the microphone to Candy, who was still trying to catch her breath. “How’s everyone doing tonight?” she asked the crowd.

The bar cheered. Sanji smiled and clapped.

“BAAABE!”

Candy looked in Luffy’s direction, beaming when she saw him holding up a cup of water. “That’s Luffy, everyone,” she said, approaching him and taking the cup from him while everyone cheered for Luffy. She took a quick drink, then handed the cup back to her boyfriend, walking back to stand next to Ivankov.

Sanji took his chance to walk up to the ATM while the two drag queens talked, probably stalling for time. He took out enough money to pay back Zoro and plenty of singles for the rest of the night. He returned to his spot, trying to hand the money to Zoro, who refused. “Use it on the talent,” Zoro said, getting up out of his seat and heading for the bathroom.

Sanji watched Zoro, confused. So not only had Zoro invited him out and driven him here, but now he was paying for him. It was almost like this was a date.

Sanji startled at the thought, shaking his head violently as he got out of his seat. “Who wants shots?” he asked the table, earning cheers from Luffy and Nami.

“None for me, Sanji,” Vivi said, smiling at him. “I’m driving tonight.”

“Isn’t she adorable?” Nami asked, poking Vivi’s cheek. “So responsible.”

“Can I bring you a soda, Vivi?” Sanji asked, not wanting to leave her out. “Water?”

“Surprise me,” she said, giggling as Nami continued to poke her and praise her.

By the time everyone was back at the table, Candy and Ivankov introduced the next act. Everyone at the table held up their drinks, clinking them together. Sanji caught Zoro’s eye and found himself smiling at him. He felt warm when Zoro smiled back, but he wrote it off as the alcohol doing its job.

-

“So, ready to go, Cook?” Zoro asked as he and Sanji left the bar after paying their tabs.

“In a bit,” Sanji said, nodding. “I wanna talk to Usopp. And I’d love to meet Luna.”

Zoro nodded, settling back into his seat while the girls chatted.

“Didja have fun, Sanji?” Luffy asked, cheeks red, lightly swaying to and fro to the music in his seat.

“I did.”

Luffy laughed. “Good. You should come more often.”

“I’d love to.”

“You didn’t even get to see Robin perform,” Nami said.

“Who’s Robin?” Sanji asked.

“Robin’s great!” Luffy exclaimed. “She goes by Damien Boulevard here.”

“Robin’s...a drag king?” Sanji asked hesitantly. With a drag queen named Emporio Ivankov, he couldn’t be too sure.

“Yep,” Nami said, nodding. “She also sometimes does burlesque. She and Vivi used to dance together.”

Vivi chuckled nervously, a sad smile on her face. “Oh, that was forever ago.”

Nami leaned her head against Vivi’s shoulder. “You could always try again...”

“Hey, guys!” Usopp called, still in the fuschia jumpsuit and black bob wig he’d changed into for his second performance.

“Babe!” Luffy threw his hands up. “You were great!”

“Aw, you always say that,” Usopp said, settling down into Luffy’s lap. He wrapped his arms around Luffy’s neck, resting his cheek against his boyfriend’s head. He looked at Sanji, smiling nervously. “Uh, hi, Sanji.”

“Hey, Usopp,” Sanji said, grinning at him. “Luffy’s right; you were great.”

Usopp chuckled softly, his blush visible even in the low lighting and the pounds of makeup he had on.

“Where’s Luna?” Luffy asked Usopp. “Sanji wants to meet her.”

“And she wants to meet him,” Usopp said, getting to his feet. Sanji sat up straighter in his seat. “Let me go grab my stuff and I’ll bring her over here.”

Nami looked at Sanji while Usopp walked off. “Well?” she said, expectantly.

“Well, what?”

“Aren’t you glad Zoro didn’t tell you anything?” Nami asked. “Didn’t that make the surprise better?”

Sanji scowled at Zoro, who looked pleased with himself. “I’m glad I came out tonight,” he said, choosing his words carefully.

Nami chuckled, shaking her head at him.

Usopp returned with Luna, who gasped and waved when they approached the table. The three women squealed and hugged each other, chattering about how pretty Luna looked tonight and how good her performances were.

“Luna,” Usopp said. “I’m going to bring our stuff to the car.”

“Okay, Usopp,” she said, pulling her phone out before handing her bag to him. “But let’s take a selfie first.”

“Sure.”

They stood next to each other, arms wrapped around each other’s waists. Even with Luna’s four inch heels and Usopp changed into comfortable shoes, Usopp was taller than her, so he held up the camera for them. “Look off to the left and look like we’re judging someone’s outfit together,” Luna instructed. 

“Got it,” Usopp said, falling into character and snapping the picture for them.

Satisfied with the final product, Luna grinned and hugged Usopp. “I’m gonna steal your boyfriend someday, Luffy,” she said as the couple walked off.

“You can’t steal him, Luna, but we can share,” Luffy laughed over his shoulder, waving at their group one last time.

“We carpool together,” Luna explained, turning her attention to Sanji. She smiled sultrily. “Now, who’s this tall glass of water?”

“That would be Dumbass,” Zoro said while Sanji blushed at Luna’s compliment. 

Sanji jabbed him in his rib cage, scrambling to his feet to stand before Luna. “Ah, I’m Sanji, Luna-chan,” he said while Luna offered him a hand to kiss.

“San-ji,” she enunciated while Sanji pressed his lips against her skin. “Why haven’t I see you here before?”

“No one’s ever invited me,” Sanji responded, chuckling softly.

“Zoro did last week,” Nami said.

“That, he did,” Sanji agreed. “And I’m glad. I wouldn’t have had the pleasure of meeting you otherwise, Luna-chan.”

Luna tilted her head, humming. “Well, I better see you here again, okay?” she said. 

“You will!” Sanji promised. “I-I like seeing you perform.”

Luna giggled, bouncing cutely on her toes. “Thank you. It takes a lot of work to look this good.”

Nami yawned loudly, stretching her arms. “Well, we better get going,” she said as she and Vivi got to their feet. “I still have her for the weekend. Don’t ask me to go anywhere because I won’t be checking my phone.”

Vivi giggled. “Bye, everyone,” she said, giving Luna one last hug.

"Oi! Luna!” Luffy called from the entrance, waving. “Let’s go.”

Zoro got out of his seat and Luna hugged him. “Bye-bye, Zoro,” she said, rubbing his back briefly before she let go. “Thanks for bringing him around,” she said, sending them both a wink before joining Luffy and Usopp.

“Night, Luna,” Zoro said before looking at Sanji. “Okay, you’ve had your fun. Now are you ready?”

Sanji nodded. “This was nice, Marimo,” he said as they made their way out the door. “Different than I was expecting, but nice.”

“You’re welcome.”

Sanji chuckled, shaking his head. “You’re obnoxious, you know that?” he said as they walked closer to Zoro’s car.

“You still said yes to going with me,” Zoro said, pulling his keys out and unlocking his car as they got close.

Sanji watched him as Zoro got into the driver’s seat. He paused, hand resting on the door. “Yeah,” Sanji said. “Yeah, I guess I did.”

Exhaling softly, Sanji got into the passenger seat of Zoro’s car, knowing he wouldn’t say no if Zoro offered to drive him the next time.

Trick or Treat

  Chapter 1: Costumes

Sanji wondered through the streets absent-mindedly, taking appreciative glances at the mélange of orange, yellow and red. It was nearly the end of October and autumn was present everywhere – from the colourful leaves, to the chilly wind that made him shiver a little to the Halloween decorations.

There were various cinnamon candles, pumpkin lanterns and even skeleton ornaments scattered throughout the city streets.

The cook smirked, he'd always been one to enjoy the holidays. He could debate why – perhaps it came as an occupational thing since he'd get to prepare seasonal dishes.

This time around though…there was something special about autumn. The air appeared clearer, the various shades of the trees more vibrant and for the first time since he was twelve he was actually excited about Halloween.

"Seems just like you be excited about a girly ass thing, ero-cook," Zoro mocked when he'd stupidly shared his thoughts out loud.

Still, the words lacked bite and he could see Roronoa smirk a little, as though their little banter sessions made him happy.

"What about chopper?" Sanji asked to which Zoro had promptly looked away, the way he always did when he couldn't convey emotions into words.

" He used to love Halloween when he was really small…back when Tashigi and I-"

The words hung in the air awkwardly and the chef bit his lip, opting to change the topic.

Now though he was going through town, on a mission. A sudden idea sprouted in his chest like a weed and no matter how much he wanted, he couldn't tear it away.

In the end it was decided – they were going to celebrate Halloween, regardless of what the Marimo had to say about it.

Sanji stood before the window screen of a large, decoration shop and briefly debated if he should enter. He'd always been on the prideful side and something told him buying not one but four costumes, one of them for a kid, was bound to get some raised eyebrows.

"How may I help you, sir?" the shop assistant, Keimi, as the name tag read asked when she noticed how lost he appeared.

The chef quickly explained, for once omitting his usual praise for the beautiful lady before him.

Keimi's lips stretched into a warm smile which brightened the whole shop,

"I think we have just what you need," she promised, taking his pale hand and dragging him towards the rows of different costumes.

To say Chopper was excited two hours later would be understatement of the year.

"Sanji, you're SO cool!" he cried out, bouncing on his feet as he clung onto the Halloween costume the blonde had just handed to him.

Zoro seemed stunned, unable to even comment. He was stilling sitting on his bed in his room, one remaining grey eye wide in bewilderment,

"You…really shouldn't have," he whispered after an unnaturally long pause, "But thank you."

Sanji felt something flutter in his chest, a wave of warmth washing over him. He couldn't get past the pure gratitude in the other's voice, how damn happy he looked.

Not only that but surprised as well, as though he wasn't used to people treating him nicely. It made the chef frown, he'd been the same way but as he was slowly starting to realize – things were changing. He may not have had the best biological family, sure, but he had Zeff and now, with Zoro and Chopper around it almost felt like he had a family of his own. Sure, they weren't there yet, but it felt nice, offering a long forgotten sense of security to Sanji.

"Come on, Chopper, try it on!" he insisted, shooting the six-year-old an encouraging look.

"Okay! I'll go to the bathroom and change!" the kid said, smiling brightly at them before running away.

Sanji then turned to Zoro himself, opting to sit next to him as the old bed creaked under their combined weight.

The scene of their first kiss, a mere week ago, flashed before his eyes – Roronoa being only centimetres away, hot breath dancing over his lips. And then his lips, a little chapped but welcomed... the way his tongue clashed against his. The contact had been unexpected and playful, like a breath of fresh air after being locked inside for too long.

The blonde cleared his throat, retrieving back to reality once the memory lost its grip on him,

"Here, I got one for you too, moss for brains," he offered, the insult was slowly turning into a loving pet name,

The look of shock on Zoro's face deepened - some strange emotion, caught between surprise and faint embarrassment. Then, much to Sanji's surprise things escalated further as his sides turned a pleasant red colour.

The cook couldn't help but grin at him – who knew this fearsome man could blush so deeply? He had to admit though – it suited him, making him appear younger and happier, adding some bonus points of attraction, as if he needed any. The word cute swam in Sanji's mind but he would never say it out loud though, he wasn't in the mood for getting chopped to pieces.

Perhaps he could steal a picture of Roronoa like this, all surprised and flustered, having a hard time comprehending basic human interactions. Then he would probably frame it over his bed, all in the name of teasing him.

"Thanks," the other muttered in the end, burying his face in the parcel and refusing to meet his gaze.

He stared at the costume, somewhat bewildered, evidently unable to guess who or what he was supposed to dress up as.

"You're going as Zorro!" Sanji couldn't help the sarcastic giggle, as uncharacteristic as it was for him – perhaps the man had a strange effect on him,

"I thought it would be clever – because of your name." he went, barely suppressing his own laughter, "And he has a sword as well! It's the perfect choice for you, don't you think?."

The taller man shook his head, lips curving into a smile which soon morphed into a sunny grin.

(Hearing Zoro laugh did something funny to his heart.)

"Damn, cook, you really are one cheesy bastard!" Zoro shot back but there was no edge to his words, if anything he seemed happier than he'd ever seen him before.

Sanji shrugged, a month ago he would have been offended, he'd have screamed an insult back or raised his leg for a kick. But now things were different, now he had an adorable six year old around, a directionally challenged marimo to help out in the kitchen and a twenty something child who wreaked havoc on his meat supply.

The new dynamic changed him, mellowed him down and took away the bitterness he'd felt for as long as he could remember.

"Don't just stand there, try it on, algae!" Sanji demanded, tone harsher for good measure.

Roronoa didn't protest, instead stood up and took his T-shirt off, as though that was the most natural thing in the world to do.

The cook couldn't help but stare, taking in the smooth tan skin and the strong defined muscles underneath it.

His blue eyes trailed over Roronoa's scars – thin white lines which criss-crossed over his torso, like rivers on a map. If anything they made him all the more attractive to him, as if a proof to his strength and endurance, a reminder of the pain he'd survived.

"I bet you only bought this, so you could see me strip," Zoro whispered, turning to him and winking like the damn asshole he was.

It was Sanji's turn to go red in the face, glad Chopper wasn't listening to their exchange, "Cocky bastard,"

Roronoa grinned at him, "That's how you like me,"

The chef rolled his eyes, "Touché,"

Zoro then proceeded to snake out of his torn, washed out jeans, tossing them aside on the floor. The French couldn't shift his gaze, hungry eyes falling over the man's plump ass and his strong thighs.

Various images flashed through his mind, none of them including any Halloween costumes or other clothes. He could picture the strong swordsman over himself, those damn good muscles working their magic. He'd never been attracted to a man before, hell he'd never even spared men a second look.

But Zoro…the damn bastard looked like sex on legs and he seemed to realize it which made him all the better in Sanji's eyes. Though he would never admit it, apparently he had a thing for arrogance, all mixed in with a round of banter between them. Not to mention, that six pack didn't hurt either.

"Cook, you might wanna tone down the looks, my son is in the other room," Roronoa joked, shaking his head as short locks of green swayed with his throaty laughter.

"Asshole," Sanji grumbled but still looked away, hating the way Zoro seemed to know all the right words to make him flustered, one way or another.

The private show the other man was giving him only lasted a few minutes, entirely too short in the French's opinion. Soon enough he stood before him, all dressed up as none other than the mythical legend Zorro.

Sanji grinned brightly at him, "You don't look half bad,"

Roronoa rolled his eye, stealing a look of himself in the reflection on the window.

"I'll kill you for this shit," he grumbled, "This is the cheesiest thing I've ever done."

It was true, the costume even provided a cheap, nylon cape which caught the fluorescent glint of the indoor lighting and added some bonus cringe points.

Sanji licked his lips, "You know Chopper will love it. Luffy probably too."

Zoro smirked, the look on his face shifting from slight annoyance to something else entirely, something warm and caring.

"Yeah, they will."

Speaking of the devil, the two flew in the room, much like a tornado of emotions.

"Sanji, the costume is so awesome!" the kid cried out, round grey eyes full of happiness and excitment.

The chef felt his heart melt at the sight, wishing he could seal this moment forever, so he could go back and play it on repeat, marvel at the three content faces that stood before him.

"I can't believe you got me a pirate costume!" Luffy all but shouted and the smoker was positive people in a radius of a few miles were hearing about it.

"How did you even know it was my childhood dream to be a pirate!?" he demanded, dark gaze full of awe,

The blonde shrugged nonchantly, "Must have been a hunch,"

He eyed Luffy who was dressed up in a stereotypical pirate attire, despite sternly refusing to have an eye patch as he deemed it would interfere with his trick-or-treating abilities, whatever that meant.

"Thank you so much!" the younger man cried out, throwing himself around Sanji's torso suddenly.

The chef froze on spot, sensing two long, skinny arms wrap around him as Luffy all but buried his head into his chest.

The contact was awkward at first, he was so unused to hugs, he'd almost forgot how they felt. Him and Law never embraced, despite carrying the unofficial tittle of best friends. The closest they'd got to a hug was that whole half armed thing they did at their university graduation. (And that been purely because Zeff had insisted, while pestering them about taking photos of them).

Slowly Sanji wrapped his arms around Luffy, returning the hug.

"This is the best Halloween ever!" The noirette shouted, rendering him nearly deaf in one ear.

"Glad you like it," he responded, turning to face the trio.

Zoro looked like hotness wrapped up in a cheap Halloween costume. Luffy fitted into the role nicely, as though he was born to be a pirate, travelling through the seas with some marry and probably equally crazy crew.

And Chopper was the cutest reindeer he'd ever seen. The boy looked adorable, dressed up as the animal, he'd even put the antlers which completed the look and a red nose (drawn with the lipstick Luffy had somewhere in his pockets and Sanji most definitely did not want to know where he got it from).

"Well?" Luffy demanded impatiently, bouncing on the heels of his feet, "Get dressed up as well! You don't get to go costume free."

Sanji smirked at them, retrieving towards the bathroom to change. He caught the disappointed look which flashed on Zoro's face and it made him a little smug – so the bastard did want to steal a glance of him!

Hopefully, that would happen too, though the chef didn't want to rush into things, despite the few dreams he'd already had about the two of them.

Upon retrieving there were a couple of gasps as they took him in,

"You're an elf!" Luffy screamed enthusiastically, clapping his hands at his own clever of observation.

"A garden elf or something, blondie?" Zoro demanded, smirking at him.

The cook shot him a dirty look, "No, moss for brains! For your information I am in fact-"

"Legolas!" Chopper cried out happily, eyes wide in amazement as he seemed to make the connection, "Dad, look, he even has a bow and an arrow!"

Roronoa appeared puzzled to no end, his gaze darting between the chef and his smartass son who was for sure a geek in the making,

"Uh, so this Legolas thing…he supposed to be a cartoon character or something?"

"No, dad," Chopper shook his head, the way kids did when they were eager to correct an adult making a mistake, "He's that cool elf from that big book I read, "Lord of the Rings,"

Zoro grinned, ruffling the kid's hair lovingly, "I swear, kiddo, you're too smart for your own good."

Sanji smiled warmly at the scene, memories of him and Zeff going through his head. Truth to be told his adoptive father would always fall asleep during their movie marathons but still, it was the effort that counted. He missed the old fart, he should call more often.

"I can't believe you dressed like a character from a kid's book," Zoro teased, a devious look on his tan face.

The French felt a flicker of indignation in him come to the surface, sending him a glare, "For your information "Lord of the Rings" is anything but a kid's book, it's a classic!"

"Whatever you say, blondie," Roronoa grinned, then he moved in and sealed their lips.

Luffy made an excited squeal and Chopper appeared unfazed, too preoccupied to marvel at his own costume.

Sanji smiled against the kiss, it felt warm and good and right.

Zoro tasted of sake and steel and he smelled like some cheap aftershave, still it was his nirvana and he melted into the contacted, unwilling for it to end. Their tongues collided, it felt like a challenge, something fun and simple, with the lingering feeling of something more, something yet to be explored.

For one long moment he let himself have this, soak in the feeling of happiness, grateful he'd chosen to chase after Zoro that fateful day.

"Where are we going now?" Luffy demanded excitedly, as soon as they stepped outside, "Can we please go trick or treating already?! Ace and I loved doing it when we were kids!"

Sanji opened his mouth to question who Ace was but thought against it, he'd ask another time or if the brunette felt like it, he'd share himself,

"Not yet. We have to get Mr. Grumpy here, then we head out."

"You mean, Torao right!?" the younger man cried out, "I can't wait to see him play dress up!"

"Mr. Law is coming too!?" Chopper appeared elated, "He's so cool, one day I'll be a doctor, just like him!"

Zoro patted his son on the shoulder as he held the jacket for him, "Of course you will,"

Sanji smiled, Law had better appreciate he was all but dragging him out of the apartment and offering him the chance to make friends for once.

"By the way, Sanji…you have any idea why Torao didn't reply to the text I sent him from your phone? I even asked him on a date! How mean of him not to respond!"

 xxx

Law glared at his Messenger app, squinting his eyes as he took in the picture of a very happy looking Luffy.

He snorted, throwing the small device away from him.

Unfortunately he wasn't on duty that night which meant he got to spend the night at home, with the lights turned off in vain hope that perhaps the damn kids from the neighbourhood wouldn't bother him that way.

"Meow," Beppo jumped on his bed, invading the covers and claiming his rightful spot at the Spaniard's feet.

Trafalgar sighed, running tan fingers through the cat's long, soft fur,

"Don't meow-me, you're so fortunate,' he mumbled, "You're just a cat – you're not forced to socialize, make friends. And celebrate this dumb Holiday."

The cat meowed once more, as though mocking him.

Law grunted, these monologues he was having with his cat were getting concerning.

Perhaps he really needed to get laid.

It was then that Luffy's text flashed before his eyes, "Wanna go out on a date?"

And that was garnered with a photo of the brunette, that same sunny grin, which seemed to be his trademark, gracing his attractive tan face.

Law covered his eyes with a hand and sighed loudly. For the past few days no matter what he did his thoughts dragged him back to that same loud, obnoxious and kind of daring he say it - cute - noirette.

Luffy – what kind of name was that anyway? And going on a date? Didn't Sanji inform him – Law doesn't go on dates! No, he just has sex with hot people in bars, every once in a blue moon. Then he gets back to his usual lonesome life as a surgeon with a shady past. Yeah, his life would make a good TV series.

"Man, I need to go out and find someone," he thought to himself, staring at the white ceiling of his room. Great, even his own home looked as sterile as a hospital these days.

Perhaps, going on a date wasn't such a bad idea, minus the whole small talk and the obligatory fake smiles. Not to mention how would he even find one?

It was then that Luffy's sunny image flashed before his eyes, all sparkly eyes and smooth tan skin.

The kid did want a date, didn't he? Trafalgar scoffed but still took another appreciate glance at his photo, he did look good.

So…what if? No! He couldn't think about that, he was Sanji's friend and he seemed naïve and kind enough, the sort of guy who wanted an actual date and not a mind blowing one night stand. He would probably even want to hold his hand and go to the movies. Law on the other hand, had different ideas about fun,

The image of two of them, tangled in the sheets flashed through his brain and then-

The doorbell rang. How anticlimactic.

Trafalgar grunted, covering his face and his ears with the fluffy pillow and pretending he was asleep. Maybe the damn kids would scatter away and leave him alone if he kept really quiet...

"I know you're in there, asshole!"

The Spaniard froze in spot – wasn't that Sanji's voice? Perhaps the blonde had decided to drag him out of the house and for them to head out, maybe even find some dates.

"Torao, you'd better bring candy!" he heard another voice and to his horror (and perhaps his delight as well) it was Luffy's.

His heart sped up, a small part of him thinking what were the odds the man he was thinking about would just show up at his door. If were a romantic, he'd say it was fate or something like that but he wasn't one to think about that. Hesitantly Law headed for the door, shaking his head, it was going to be a long night.
