what happens when a pirate takes the last pastry?

a/n: this bakery that i go to is always sold out by the time i go in the afternoon, so i went at 7am and finally got more than just leftovers and it was sooo worth it
when monkey d. luffy meets you, he doesn't even see you at first because you're hidden behind the mountain of baked goods on his tray. sure, maybe he overdid it but they all looked too good to stop at one. and if anyone asks, he plans on having them all himself.
unless there's a good reason to, luffy doesn't share.
you start packing his order, the mountain slowly shrinking with each bun, as you sneak glances at the guy in the straw hat on the other side of the counter. he's cute and friendly, and you think this is the shortest amount of time it took for you to crush on a guy.
making small talk, you ask him about his day ("it's great now! there's so many options here!") and he asks you about your favourite pastry.
"oh, it's this one!" you point at the last bread on his tray, "but it's always sold out by the time i'm on lunch."
to which luffy frowns, thinking about how unfair it is that someone as nice and cute as you doesn't get to enjoy their favourite treat.
you take his coins, blushing when your fingers brush his, and thank him for coming by, wondering when you'll see him next.
it turns out that the answer is very soon.
because 10 minutes later, luffy comes flying into the shop, landing right next to you with a little laugh and your favourite pastry in his hand,
"here," he grins. "for you."
luffy doesn't mind sharing if it's for a good reason — and your wonderfully surprised smile is a pretty damn good reason.
trafalgar law thinks to himself that if it wasn't bepo's birthday, he would've left the bakery ages ago. but now he stands here, surrounded by nothing but bread, and he realizes that unless he wants to skip lunch, he's gonna have to find something to eat.
what shitty luck.
he eyes the last tuna bun and grabs it, thinking about how this'll have to do, when someone knocks into his arm and the bun goes flying out of his hands.
he whirls around, ready to unleash his hangry fury, but his complaints die on his tongue when he discovers who bumped into him — a pretty, adorable thing.
"oh my god! i'm so sorry!" you yelp. "oh no, there's none left..."
you fuss over the empty display, but law's already forgotten about his fallen bun. you're far too cute, with a faint tinge of pink in your cheeks, for him to care about a pastry he wasn't going to enjoy.
"wait!" you rummage through your bag. "it's not a tuna bun but it's close?"
you offer him an onigiri, one with bits of grilled fish, and law can hardly believe that he's staring at his salvation.
his handsome face breaks into a wide smile and you can't help but do the same. your eyes are warm, a soft smile dancing on your lips, and there's a sugary sweet feeling in law's chest when you hand him the rice ball.
what wondrous luck.
he takes his favourite food from your hands and thinks that maybe — just maybe — bakeries aren't so bad.
the only thing eustass kid is thinking about right now is how much he's going to enjoy eating this chocolate danish. he reaches into the display to grab the last one, but instead of a flaky pastry, his fingers find a soft hand.
"excuse me," you say. "i'm just trying to reach the danish."
kid gives you the onceover (pretty, he thinks). "ya should be excused. that's my danish."
you narrow your eyes at the boldness of this rude (albeit, hot) stranger. "says who?"
"says me."
"and who are you exactly?"
kid puffs his chest, "eustass kid."
you scrunch your nose and cross your arms, "you mean the boorish pirate who raided that south blue island?"
"i- boorish?" kid gapes incredulously.
"did i stutter?" you scoff. "you pirates are awful. the more good looking you are, the ruder you are."
you blush slightly at the admission, but kid's too riled up to even notice (though later, he'll remember it and grin).
"do you insult everyone that you meet?" he grits.
"i don't know, do you steal food from everyone that you meet?"
"listen," kid leans over you, catching a whiff of your shampoo (which just so happens to be his favourite scent). "i already said that the danish is mine."
unwilling to be intimidated, you jab a finger in his (extremely muscular) chest. "you damned pirates always take what you want - absolutely zero consideration for the rest of us."
"you're no angel either, sweetheart. generalizations don't look good on anyone — not even cute hotties like you."
your cheeks flush hot, "you-!"
"me, what? look who's stuttering now, huh?" he goads, getting even closer to your face now.
"you really-"
"mommy, look! i got the last one!"
both of you snap out of it just in time to see a little girl grab the pastry you were fighting over. dumbfounded, you look at kid and just when you're about to curse him out, he cuts you off.
"well, looks like neither of us get what we wanted," he says.
then, kid turns back towards you with a devilishly handsome grin, "but now i kinda want you, so how about i buy ya dinner instead?"
(spoiler: you say yes.)

Sometimes I wonder what kind of person Gojo would have been is Geto never left. Would his relationship with his students been completely different? Would his methods have been the same?
But I also wonder what kind of adult Geto would have been. He fought to protect normies but he’s always had a huge sense of self importance. He and Gojo were the same person in different fonts. Geto was just in Times New Roman or something serious like that lol.
I feel like Gojo always felt different from others for obvious reasons (say what you will but if I had that sort of power and importance I would have been insufferable too. It’s not arrogance when It’s backed by something IMO). But I also know that he willingly closed himself to meaningful relationships because he wanted to shield himself from heartbreak. However, Geto is different in the sense that he fostered meaningful bonds despite being powerful and scornful. Would he have been able to teach that to Satoru? We know he saw Geto as his moral compass.
Did the others even see him as a real person (apart from Geto and Shoko)? His existence was kind of akin to a concept so I think it’s an interesting question. Did others see him as nothing more than The Strongest because that’s all he would let them see OR did he make it his personality because no one could see beyond that? Or maybe both? I think the latter and then the former.
Also, did he ever feel stressed over his “responsibilities”? He was literally the pillar that supported the system. Him getting sealed was such a BIG deal for a reason. And even though he couldn’t possibly detach himself from said system (since the system is him) did he relish in that power as much as he relished in physical power? Or did he not care at all? We don’t know much about his clan but I wish we did.

Interact with this post if you want a starter from my version of Michael Morningstar, Lucifer’s twin brother!
Some info on my version of him
- Looks almost exactly the same as Luci, but has non sharp teeth, blue eyes, long wavy hair, and wears an angelic robe.
- Deeply depressed since his brothers fall and doesn’t really interact with others that much.
- Very starched to Sera, and likes Emily enough, though she can be a bit much sometimes.
- Missed his brother but due to a deep well of shame and guilt, is often scared to talk to him.
- Soft spoken and often avoid and even panics in the face of confrontation. He feels a lot of resentment over these feelings as he was created to be a protector.
- Spends most of his time in his tower home in heaven, he rarely allows visitors outside of Sera and Emily.

Finally made myself a Titan.
A little wip backstory…
His name is Esmond-4, but he doesn’t use his number. He was Risen on Earth during the middle of the City Age, after Twilight Gap. Instead of joining the City, he chose to go his own way. He wanted to know who he was in his previous life. He became a rogue light bearer. He didn’t kill others like some rogues did. That was unless they came after him. Has killed several Dregden that tried to kill his Ghost.
When he’d visit the tower, he became fond of the Crucible and is quite good at it. Others rarely wanted to play with him because of his lack of communication and teamwork.
˚✧₊⁎⁺˳✧༚
I made him because I initially had my warlock, Astrid, paired with Shaxx. Then I realized that writing for a canon character was actually really hard! So I created someone for her to fall in love with and I fell in love with him too.
He’s very calm and patient, especially with Astrid. She can be a bit of a loose cannon when she’s set her mind on something.
I’m still working on their relationship, and I’ll post more photos of him when I have them but yeah! This is my new boy!
