Yassop x Reader

Title: Follow Your Heart

Ever since his wife passed away due to her sickness, Yassop has never truly searched or thought about remarriage. His wife was the one for him, and it just didn't feel right to move on, that was about three years ago. Now, even though he loved being a pirate he felt something was missing. That being someone that held his heart, he tried not to dwell on it too much since he knew there would come a time when a woman may or may not steal his heart. But he did feel lonely at times since he had no one to hold or call his own.

He had no idea that the island he would land on, all of that would change once he laid eyes upon you. They docked their ship and Shanks gave orders of course after all the important things were done, they found a bar that wasn't full and went in. You were behind the counter, bored out of your mind since it has been really slow today. You were slowly falling asleep before being jolted awake by a bunch of laughing.

"Finally..." You mumbled before flashing a bright smile.

"Hey gentleman, what can I get you???" You asked from behind the bar as they all took seats and filled your bar with their crewmates. They all began ordering and you skillfully delivered the food, and barrels of alcohol to the men before going back behind the bar. You glance over at the different pirates before realizing it was the red-haired pirates that had now officially filled your bar, not that you minded.

"Is it normally that slow?" You turned your head to red-haired Shanks before nodding your head.

"Unfortunately yes, until the pirates come and drink us dry." You said and he laughed causing you to laugh as well.

"Which I don't complain since that's how we make our money..." You said getting you a cup of water. You felt eyes on you, and so you turned your head to meet the Sniper's eyes and he blinked before realizing he was caught staring. He gave you a sheepish smile, and you gave him a shy and gentle smile. You turned your head back to Shanks and you both began to hold conversations, him telling you stories of his adventures, much like how he told stories to Luffy.

You even told him some of the adventures you've been on despite not being a pirate. You explained the difference between magic and devil fruit powers, and how there are actual wizards who just have magic, you being one. Which got his attention more than you thought, you didn't know that someone was listening to the sound of your voice, or to the stories.

"That is so cool, join my crew..." Shanks said.

"I am sorry what??" You asked, laughing. Shaking your head, you went to supply the others with more meat and more sake, including the one that was entranced by your beauty.

"You are beautiful." The sniper, Yassop said. You blinked looking at him nudging him slightly causing him to laugh.

"Geez, thanks, and Shanks. No thank you... I am not a pirate."

"Come on..."

"Nope."

"Why???"

"Because I need to be here..." You said shrugging as you leaned against the wall with your arms crossed, which caused Shanks to sulk so Yassop took this chance to hold a conversation with you. He wanted to know more about you so he decided to tease a bit based on what you told Shanks.

"Let me guess, you have a husband here?" Yassop said which caused the men to laugh and you blinked looking at him.

"That's a negative."

"Then she has a boyfriend." A random crew mate yelled and you chuckled slightly.

"That's also negative." You said humming as you drank from your glass of water, which made Yassop relax glad you don't have either so he could take a chance.

"Then why stay???"

"Maybe because I like my simple life, I only have to use my magic when a few pirates get out of control." You said shrugging your shoulders and Shanks thought about it.

"You won't have to fight, leave that to us men..." You raised an eyebrow at him.

"You do realize, men are the reason why I don't want to travel right???" You asked and Shanks blinked several times.

"Wait so you hate men?"

"I wouldn't say that now, men are just the reason why I had my fair share of fights, depression, and losing the things I love. I rather not deal with more of them out on the sea where I am stuck with them. Plus, Shanks you look like you are more trouble than you are worth..." You said cleaning some of the mugs, and everyone laughed at Shank's face.

"HEY, THAT MEANS THAT'S NOT TRUE!" You laughed softly and Benn grinned as you looked at his first mate.

"Benn am I wrong?" You asked, Benn lit his cigarette and he tried not to laugh as Shanks looked at him with dramatic teary eyes.

"Benn, am I a lot of trouble?" Benn's silence continued on as he tried not to get involved and that only proved your point. The entire crew began laughing at their captain as he threw his hands up in the air. Shanks began to ignore you causing you to laugh at the now pouting captain, it was hard to believe this guy was the captain. You went back to the bar but Yassop wrapped an arm around your waist.

You looked at the male and he gave you a charming smile, causing you to blink confusedly. You refilled his mug but he pulled you into his lap, the alcohol getting to him slowly. He buried his face into your shoulder, and it fell silent.

"You are so warm..."

"Uhm...." You had a small blush dusting your cheeks and everyone noticed that Yassop was being more clingy to women than normal.

"You should let me take you out... while I am still on this island..."

"Wait, what?" He looked at you and even though Yassop had a lot of alcohol in his system, he was aware of everything.

"Let me take you out on a date. It's been a while since I been out with a beautiful lady like yourself..."

"Are you drunk?"

"Still far from being drunk..." Everyone erupted into laughter, as you realized he was very serious and your face turned as red as their captain's hair.

"Uh... can you let go now?"

"Nope, not until you answer my question," Yassop said, and you looked away unsure what you should say.

"Uhm... I...fine....once... now let me go..." You said giving in causing Yassop to grin and everyone cheered at his score of getting a date with you.

"Hey I know, if you start dating Yassop you could join my crew..." Shanks beamed and you karate chopped his head causing him to fall to the floor.

"Hey don't go assuming, I am joining your crew or dating him." You yelled and he whined, before looking up at you with that knowing smile.

"Come on..."

"Shut up..." You said refilling the mugs of the pirates before going back behind the counter but Yassop stole you away from Shanks so he can continue to talk with you. You learned he was a child that was still so young. He told you some of his own stories and you grew more interested in them than the ones Shanks told you, the crew looked at you two and knew you had Yassop's heart already. Once the sun went down and the majority of the men were drunk, you motioned them all out of your bar.

"Okay, guys go home. I need to close up and clean..." You said and the drunk ones were being helped by the not-so-drunk men. Yassop stood next to you once they were all out of ear sight either heading back to the ship or hotel.

"Aren't you going?" You asked Yassop but he shook his head with a smile.

"Not yet, I want to spend more time with you..." He said which made you smile and you shook your head locking the door.

"Fine, just wait at the bar, I got to clean and everything."

"Let me help," Yassop said gathering some of the plates but you stopped him.

"Don't you are the customer..." You said, but Yassop gently grasped your hand into his and pulled you close to him causing you to drop a few plates slightly.

"Y-Yassop..." You said, and he smiled leaning his forehead against yours. Your face was red but you closed your eyes and wrapped your arms around his neck.

"Shh... customer or not.." He mumbled before placing a gentle kiss on your lips. You let a sigh out as he held you close to him and you pecked his lips. He grinned and you nudged him slightly parting from his arms and began cleaning again. He watched you clean, that grin still plastered on his face since.

"Don't look at me like that idiot..." You mumbled shyly but Yassop only shook his head.

"I can't help it, a beautiful girl has my heart. I haven't felt this way since...my first wife... I know you are the one for me..." You stopped to look at him, and he pushed your hair behind your ear.

"Don't worry, I am no longer married. She died a couple of years ago from a sickness."

"Oh, I am sorry."

"It's okay, I had my grieving time, I was never ready to date. That was until I saw you..." Yassop said, you felt small blush dust your cheeks and you smiled shyly.

"Oi, what am I suppose to say to these things???" You asked, and he leaned his head against yours again.

"Whatever your heart says."

"It's confused because of you."

"Well, I will give you time to get your heart situated." He said, and you sighed softly and he pecked your forehead.

"Thanks, though what would happen if I say I do love you or like you? It wouldn't work... you are a pirate..."

"Simple, you join the crew. Exactly what the captain said."

"There is no way I could do that."

"Of course, you can."

"I am not pirate material, I can't even fight."

"Don't need to be... I would protect you." Yassop said, and you sighed looking off to the side. Yassop rubbed your arms gently before going to sit at the bar, staring at you.

"Don't think about that though... Just think about the moment. Do what you want to do, follow your heart. If it leads to me, that's great. If not, well I can't force you to love me, though it would be great if you love me." Yassop gave you a gentle smile, and you met his eyes.

"Thank you Yassop."

Anon requested: OMG I just read your Ace fic and it was so good! Idk if you write for Shanks or not but if you do could you maybe do something similar to the Ace fic but with him? (If you are not busy). Thank you so much, your stuff is great.

A/N: Thank you so much for asking for Shanks. I fall in love with OP men with him, and it’s a character that have always intrigued me. I wanted to give it a twist to the jealousy part, I hope you like it!! I recommend to listen to “Memories” – 1st ending of OP- while reading the end!.

Somewhere on the Grand Line, Post Summit War.

“Are you sure you want to go out today, y/n?”, your mother asks you, worried. A big ship has arrived in town. On the mast a black flag with a skull crossed by two sabers and three scars over the left eye of it, warns the citizens that pirates are here.

In no time, man and woman began to talk and everybody knew that those pirates were no other than the crew of one of the Yonkous, the Red-Haired Pirates with its captain, Akagami no Shanks.

You are not afraid, you’ve never been. Maybe because you always wanted to be a pirate, or maybe because you knew exactly that from the emperors, Shanks was probably the most pacific one.

“It's ok, mum! They are not that bad, don’t worry I’ll be fine”, you say to your mother, trying to calm her, while your heart somehow beats faster. The idea of meeting such powerful people, pirates, something you have always dreamt of becoming but always had to forget because of your family, excites you.

You grab your bike and head to the city center where your grocery store awaits to be open. You know that probably they won’t visit your shop, but deep down you wish so. The day passes and every customer conversation topic is focused on the outsiders, on the pirates. “You should go home, it’s dangerous for you to be alone in here!, What if they come and rob you? or even worse!”.

You are fed up with people thinking that you are a weak damsel, they seem to forget that from a young age you have managed to keep your family going after your mum was left alone with you and your siblings, by your dad who became a pirate years ago.

Little by little the streets around your store become empty, you think it is because it’s late but you gaze at the clock and you have more than two hours left until the closing time. “Could it be…?”. And it is.

Someone opens the big wooden door of the shop with a scrape and the orange sun rays enter blinding you for an instance. There he was, a tall handsome man, red hair flowing to the breeze that sneaks from outside, three scars that garnishes his left eye and a big smile. You are ripped from your boredom, you know exactly who he was, who the people behind them were. You know it, Akagami no Shanks is here, and you simply love it.

Yet your face looks more scared than pleased, so the red hair man says, “Oi! excuse me! I didn’t mean to scare you. You were the only place open; can I ask for some stuff?”. “H- hello… yes, of course. What can I get for you?”, you ask him politely. “Do you perhaps have some alcohol for us?”, he asks laughing. That laugh, it’s just too cute for a pirate… “I’m afraid I only have a few bottles of sake left, but tomorrow I’ll have a new batch. I can offer you what I have right now and if you want more you can come tomorrow”, you say to him, smiling.

“Oi, captain, she is not afraid of us!!” a fat pirate that is eating a big chunk of meat tells the man in front of me. “There is no point in being afraid, Lucky. Go tell Yasopp that we have enough drinks for tonight”, he says looking at him, and when he turns a little bit you notice he is missing an arm. “Oh… so what I’ve read was true, he’s lost an arm…”, you think while putting the bottles over the counter for him to buy.

“Thank you Miss, here is your payment for the bottles. I’m coming back tomorrow for the others”, he says while handing you some berries with his right hand. You thank him, but before he leaves he tells, smiling at you, “What’s your name? You look like you want to be a pirate, you know? Why don’t you come tonight? we are having a banquet with some friends from this island”. Something inside of you screams “DON’T”, but your heart wins the fight and you happily tell him your name and that you will try to make it.

After he leaves, your heart pumps blood into your ears faster, you feel something strange on your stomach and for a moment you imagine how awesome being at a pirate party might be. You can’t ignore either, how handsome you found him. Such a man… with those grey capris, that open white shirt, the black cloak over his shoulders… a true king, a true pirate emperor. Your cheeks turn to fire…

After closing the shop, you ride your bike home, letting the cold breeze of that autumn island refresh your blushed cheeks.

Your mum and siblings breathe a sigh of relief when they see you safe and sound, after some old busybody hags have told her of your encounter with pirates. “Mum, they only bought some alcohol, paid for it and left. Actually he-, I mean all of them. They were more polite than some people of this town”, you say to her rolling your eyes back, and head to your room.

Flopping down to your bed you begin to ponder the possibility of going to the banquet, but the face of your mother shouting at you erases those thoughts, and you simply accept your destiny.

After dinner, you are back in your room. From your window far in the distance you admire the coast and a vast sea ahead, moonshine over the waves and a few stars in the night sky. That’s always been your view, you have to admit you have a privileged bedroom. But something caught your attention. Is that… “is that their ship?”, you think. Over the coast, a large pirate ship, with red details is docked. You try to focus your sight, and realize that next to it, over the beach there is what looks like a bonfire and some people around. “Yeah, that’s the party I’ve been invited to…”, you sigh.

You close your curtains, and just lay on bed. Closing your eyes, trying to sleep… but you can’t. Turning around, to a side, to the other. “You look like you want to be a pirate”, the voice of that red haired pirate replays on your head, on and on, and on…

You don’t really know what it was, but you perceive a different aura around him. Someone told you years ago, that feeling, the auras you see around people is something called “Haki”. This guy was something different… you feel another type of power around him.

“That’s it, I’m going”. You stand up from bed, throw on a white blouse, an orange skirt, and an underbust corset that cinches your waist.

After making sure everyone is already asleep in your house, you open your windows and escape. You run, at first afraid of someone catching you, but then free. Free as the wind that swirls around with your hair. You are being pulled at them, at him…

A few meters from the coast, a big ship exalts in front of your eyes. There is murmur, music, people dancing. You stand right there, trying to see where Shanks is.

“Oi! I thought you wouldn’t come!”, someone grabs your shoulders from behind and offers you a big wooden cup of alcohol. Turning your head to the right side, you see those scars over his eye, and that wavy red hair.

“Come one, let’s party like only pirates know how to!”, he says, laughing. You accept the cup and follow him. You are surprised to see some citizens having fun with them, but then you remember Shanks telling you they have friends in this town, so you know that nobody there will say anything about you being there if you just don’t say anything about them.

Dancing, drinking, eating some delicious brochettes, one of the guys there was grilling, the night passes. You haven’t had that type of fun before, and everything seems perfect.

The sun is already rising over the horizon, some of the pirates have already passed out on the cold sand, but Shanks and you still have energy, so you keep chatting, drinking and laughing together.

But like everything good has to come to an end, you realize it's already morning and in a few hours everyone at home would be up. “Shanks, I must come back home… I have to open the store”, you say to him, a little embarrassed. You know that “working times” isn’t something that pirates do.

“Oh, you are right!, well let me walk you home, then”, he tells you, genuinely willing to… protect you?. “It’s ok.. don’t worry. My home is right there, on the other side of the beach, that one with yellow walls!” you say to him, pointing at your house. Something you’d probably regret later, you have given to a powerful captain of a pirate crew specific instructions for your home, but somehow you trust him.

“I’ll be watching you then, run!” he says, caressing softly your cheek. And for an instance you both stared into your eyes. “See you later”, you whisper, turn around and begin to run home.

Halfway there, you turn back at the coast, convinced he won’t be there anymore, but he is. He waves at you. He is protecting you. You wave back at him and finally arrive at home.

Being as stealthy as you can be, you climb to your room through your window hoping no one sees you, and head to the bathroom once you are safe inside. Your heart beats faster, maybe it is because you’ve been running, or maybe the adrenaline of experiencing something you’ve dreamt off for so long… who knows? maybe it was the feeling that still persists on your skin, where Shanks brushed his hand…-

You have successfully made it into your home, and try to erase the signs of a good party on your face with cold water before breakfast.

“Good morning, mum!”, you say once you enter the kitchen with a remarkably good mood that you are not used to showing. Your brothers notice it, but say nothing. Your mother, ignorant about your little adventure smiles at you, happy that finally her grumpy daughter is smiling. You grab a toast and leave the house as fast as you can.

You fight against your sleepy eyelids trying to close, your body needs some rest so you put all of your body weight over the counter. You still have all day long until you can come back home, but you don’t regret what you did last night. No more than three customers entered the store during the day, and sadly none of them were Shanks. So, you begin to think that he won’t come back. Until, the little chime on the door announces the arrival of a new customer. “You haven’t slept yet, huh?”. The person you’ve been waiting the whole day is finally here, in front of you.

He came back. A sudden shot of adrenaline wakes your body up, and you seem more awake than ever. “I didn’t get any sleep yet, haha… but it’s ok, I’m not complaining. Did you come back for the sake?” you tell him with a smile that makes your tired eyes slant. “Yeah, Ben will help me to carry them to the ship, but I came for you too”, he says, smirking. “You came for me?”, you ask him confused, but deep down happy to hear those words.

“Haha, I’m not kidnapping you or something like that, but would you like to come to our ship tonight? We can have dinner and then I’ll set you free… I mean I’m sure you would like to go to sleep”, says the red-haired pirate, to which you reply without even thinking, “Yeah, of course!”. “Fine, I’m coming for you when you are over with work”, he says and leaves the shop with you standing there, astonished.

“What the hell just happened, Y/n?” you ask yourself, trying to come up with an excuse to tell your mother about spending the night on a pirate ship… it’s not that you are not allowed to have friends, or even go out, you are an adult, but… pirates?... your mother hates them. I mean, your dad left her to become one so…

But, you aren’t willing to let anybody interfere with something you wanted for so long… plus, you somehow can’t resist that emperor charm, so you grab your den den mushi and call your best friend.

“I know that what I am asking you is too much, but please help me!” you beg her. “But, it’s not only because of your mum. They are pirates, I’m worried for you. I don’t mind you telling her you are going to spend the night here, but… what if they do something bad to you?”, she expressed, truly worried. And you know she is right, after all they were… criminals.

You spend the rest of the afternoon debating between risking yourself or plainly escaping before he comes back. But you can’t deny that rationalizing this type of thing wouldn’t take you anywhere, and the voice of your heart just screams “go with him, trust him”.

And so, you do. After calling your mother and lying to her, you can only wait for him to come and take you to their ship.

“Let’s go!” he says snatching your arm, pulling from you. You feel his fingertips over your skin, and the touch of his hand against your flesh sends some kind of electricity to your whole body… what is it?.

“Here we are! my beloved floating nakama, the “Red Force””, he says showing you the big boat you have in front of yourself. “Wow, it’s huge” you say, amazed, failing to try to hide how excited you are for knowing a pirate ship - one of the four emperors’ of the sea ships -.

You have dinner with all the crew, and again, nobody makes you feel in the sightless uncomfortable. And soon everyone starts to leave for their cabins, until Shanks and you are left alone.

“Come with me, I want to show you something”, he says excited, offering his hand to you. You smile, hold his hand and follow him through the ship.

You are finally on the deck, and he asks you if you are afraid of heights. You don’t, so he points to a hand ladder made out of ropes that allows to climb to the ship’s figurehead. “Go ahead, climb, I’m going right behind you”, he says, encouraging you with that smile that you already love.

Once you’ve carefully stood over the red wooden sea monster figurehead, you extend your hand, in order to help him. He accepts it gladly. From there you can admire the sea and the whole island, the wind blows even stronger, the deep blue sky looks like velvet, the moon shines bright and some stars flicker around it. This is the second time in your life that you feel truly free, and you wish this could be never over.

Shanks passes his right arm around your waist, both of you remain still, admiring the night sky and the sound of the waves. Little by little his mouth approaches your neck, he places a soft subtle kiss over your skin, and you close your eyes. Gradually, you turn to him, and slowly but surely, your lips meet. This marked the start of intense months ahead.

Somedays you just let your friend run the shop for you, sometimes you even close earlier. Some gossip about what you’ve been doing hits your mother, but you deny it categorically. Every time you woke up to Shanks, your body felt sore, but satisfied as hell. And somehow, after spending so many days together, you were almost part of the crew.

But not everything lasts forever, and that day, the day that your lie was discovered finally came.

“Y/n, I heard someone tell mum the pirates are at your shop”, your brother says through the den den mushi. Your siblings knew everything, and you all agreed on lying for the sake of the peace of the family. Plus, Shanks had forged an amazing friendship with them whenever they passed time with us on the ship. “Don’t worry, brother. She has heard that before, I don’t think she’s going to come. Thanks for telling me, though. Love you!”.

You are sitting on Shanks lap, behind the counter. Some customers were already used to him being there, and they didn’t fear them anymore, because of how charming and noble he was with the people of the town.

Suddenly, the door of the store opens violently. There is your mother, agitated, followed by some old ladies. “It’s true… you, that pirate…I came here to prove my daughter was a good girl, but I was wrong…”, she shouts at you as you were still a little girl. “Yeah, it is true. I’m happy now, what’s wrong with it? I am a grown-up adult, we haven’t told you because of how you could react, but everybody else knows it”, you scream at her, furious.

“I’m trying to protect you, my dear daughter… his dad, his father was your dad’s captain. He left us, you, your brothers, me. What are you going to do when he decides to set sail, huh?”, she tells you with tears in her eyes.

You haven’t thought about it, plus… his dad? Shank’s dad was your father’s captain?... You hate to admit she is right; they are pirates, the time of leaving will come sooner or later. But it will come…

“Mrs... when I met your daughter I didn’t know who her dad was…”, Shanks tells your mother. “Since when did you know it? where is he?” you ask your redhead lover. “I’m afraid your dad…”, he shakes his head, stopping himself from saying any more words. And you just understand. He hugs you; you nuzzle your head on his chest, letting some tears flow from your eyes. It’s not something you somehow didn’t know, but the confirmation was devastating. Yet the warm hug from him makes everything easier. You feel safe with him, safe and free.

Your mother, who seems to get not even a little emotional, says coldly, “that’s what happens when you become a pirate. I hope you understand that before it’s late. I’m disappointed at you, I thought you were different from your dad…”. Those words hurt, you’ve always wanted to be free, a pirate, sailing through all the seas, why was that so hard to understand for her?.

Shanks grabs you by your face, and looking into your eyes, he says “I’m not leaving you, I swear”. And you believe in those words, but deep inside, you know that soon you’ll see his ship getting away from the coast.

You come back home where your mother no longer speaks to you, she is so upset that she simply ignores you.

Some days pass until Shanks tells you to meet him at a certain bar called “Partys Bar”. “We never went there”, you think a little confused, but you got ready and leave the house.

When you enter all of Shanks crew members seem to be celebrating something, they greet you as you walk through them. You finally spot your lover, a girl with green hair is hugging him tight, he has a bottle on his hand. They are enjoying themselves; he is happier than ever… and you stay right there, still, realizing that your mum was probably always right. That’s why you two never talked about having a relationship… pirates are just not faithful to their lovers.

You let a tear run through your cheek, and start walking back to the exit of that bar. You hear in between you sobbing and the murmur of the party “Y/n, wait! I want you to meet…”, but you just can’t keep on listening.

Suddenly your whole world caves in, and you just run, straight home.

In the kitchen is your mother sitting, having a cup of tea. She looks at you and says, “He hasn’t even left yet and has already broken your heart, huh? See? You have to understand pirates have a girlfriend on every port, he is an emperor of the sea. Why don’t you get it? He is one of the worst criminals in the whole world. Do you really think he would leave everything aside for you? Plus, Mrs. Johnson told me her husband heard that the pirates are parting tomorrow”. You look at her, wishing she could just shut the hell up, or even comforting you, but she has always been like this, so you just go to your room.

No more than twenty minutes later, you heard strong persistent knocks on the door. Your brothers shout at Shanks but he just simply doesn't care. He is now in your room. “Babe, what happened?!!”, he shouts at you. “I don’t want to talk. Don’t call me babe…”, you say choking back tears. “I need to know what happened, tell me. Please”, Shanks insists. “My mum was right after all; you were with that girl… hugged. Plus, she told me you are leaving tomorrow. I knew this day would come, but why do you have to ruin it for me? why couldn't you just wait to leave to be with another girl?”, you say this time with a fire burning on your eyes. He broke your heart, because even knowing he would leave, you have fallen for him.

Shanks approaches you, squats next to your bed and calmly says to you, “I love you; you fool. The girl you saw is like my sister, her name is Makino. I’ve known her since we were babies, she is the daughter of one of your dads crew mates. I wanted her to meet you. We wanted to celebrate something I thought at this point you had clear. I want you to come with me, you are part of our crew already. I want you to be my empress…”.

“S-Shanks…?” you are astonished. “He loves me?, he wants me to join his crew… he wants… me, a pirate?, I - I always wanted to be a pirate”, you think, and when you imagine yourself sailing through the Grand Line, the New World, something ignites your soul. But, despite how much you love him, and how much you want to be free, you are still bounded to your family…

Your brothers start jumping around, “Our sister is going to be an empress of the sea??, I want to come with her!!!”.

“Shanks… I’m sorry I doubted you. I love you too… with you I knew what being free means. But, I can’t go with you, I’m still responsible for my family”, you say to him, once again leaving your dreams aside.

“I won’t force you to come with us, but let me tell you something… You have a strong spirit, just like your dad, I used my haki around you many times because it was amazing how strong you were, you are meant to travel the world. I can’t explain to you right now why, but you are. Plus, your family is going to be financially covered for at least the rest of their lives”, he says to you, brushing your hair softly with his hand. You don’t understand what he is saying, and your face shows a confused expression. So, he continues, “you see, before our dads passed away, your father asked me to make him a big favor… he wanted me to come here, to this island to give all of his treasures to his family… At first I didn’t know you were the one who was supposed to receive them, but then everything made sense. My crew is going to leave all of your dad's treasures here…”. You simply can’t hold your tears back, you watch your mom who was at the door, unable to speak and tell her “You see, mom? Dad has always cared for us. Pirates are not all bad…”.

It’s already morning and most of the citizens of your town are at the coast, helping those pirates with the last preparations before they set sail to a new adventure, the habitants of the island are grateful for how these pirates have helped them, they weren’t violent, they haven’t robbed a single berrie to them.

The sun is shining, not a single cloud in the sky, seagulls dancing in the air, and a warm breeze plays with some red and brown leaves on the floor.

Finally, the Red Force begins to sail, leaving the shore behind. The whole town waves at them, they wish them a safe and awesome new adventure, and hope they someday will come back. Your brothers, even your mother is there, saying goodbye.

The wind hits your cheeks, the sun bathes your skin. Shanks is on your side, and you wave your family and friends goodbye, hoping that the next time you see them, you will be a great pirate.

“I love you”, says Shanks to you, kissing your forehead. “I love you too, captain”, you say back and both prepare to face your future together, you finally breathe freedom… ♥

Team Zero (Hargreeves Siblings x Sibling Reader)

Summary: After being sent back in time and finding their father, the eight academy kids have ‘A Light Supper’ with him.

A/N: This is a really gross, unedited page because I really wanted to write this scene. I wrote this in only a few hours and I think I could’ve done a crap ton better but I really wanted to post this so...

Warnings: season two spoilers, mild swearing

Word count 2589

gif credit to @tuagifs

After the draining argument with their siblings, the last thing y/n expected to receive was a letter from their father.

To my pursuers,

I, Reginald Hargreeves, request the pleasure of your company for a light supper on the 20th of November, 1963, half past seven o’clock, 1624 Magnolia Street.

They had received the letter from a strange man in a black car. At first, y/n hesitated to believe it was really from their father but they knew their father better than anyone, even Luther despite what he thinks.

The level of extra Reginald went through to get this letter to them told them all they needed to know so, on the 20th of November, 1963, they arrived at 1624 Magnolia Street just before half past seven.

The building was a tall hotel and the decor very much fit the era they were living in. They wandered towards the back where they slipped in an elevator next to their brother five. Not too soon after, their other siblings joined them in the small box.

“Good, you’re all here” Five face sported his usual smirk and his body language screamed cocky arrogant asshole however, everyone remained quiet on the lift up to the highest floor.

That was until a rather rancid smell reached their noses. “Ugh.. Luther!”

“Sorry, I’m nervous.” The group covered their noses until the doors finally opened, allowing them to take a deep breath of fresh air.

“Alright, when dad gets here, I’ll do the talking.” Fives natural attempt to assert himself failed quickly when Diego snapped back.

“I got a few questions for him myself.”

Y/n rolled their eyes. The seven of them never seemed to be able to enter a room without starting some kind of fight or argument. “Hey, we don’t wanna scare him off alright, he might be able to help us stop doomsday, get us home.”

“No Five, we need to figure out why he’s planning to kill the president.” It’s amazing how hung up on the presidents assassination Diego is, why can’t he just let this go?

“This is a matter of life or death you imbecile.” Sensing that their other siblings were about to chime in, y/n zoned themselves out. Y/n isn’t exactly what you called a team player. They chose to stay quiet and disassociate themselves from their family. Sick of the overbearing weight of having to save the world when they could be doing other things, like being a normal person.

Unfortunately for them, they were soon snapped out of their focused state by a loud crash. What appeared to be some kind of decoration was found shattered in small pieces on the other side of the room.

“Classic.” Allison spit. They all turned their heads when they heard another noise. The doors to the ‘Tiki Lounge” swung open revealing a younger Hargreeves. His posture stood tall and didn’t give them a single glance until he sat at the table, adjusting his sleeves.

“Not only have you burglarized my lab, set my chimp loose, conned your way into the Mexican consulate, repeatedly stalked and attacked me, but you have on numerous occasions, called me...”

Klaus finally joined the table with what seemed like some alcoholic beverage. “Hey Pop. How’s it hangin’?

“...dad.” His voice was stern, slightly scary, but more just assertive. The seven children took a moment to all create eye contact before returning to their younger father.

“My reconnaissance tells me you’re not CIA, not KGB, certainly not MI5, so...” he paused to slam his pen to the desk, “who are you?” Everyone stayed silent trying to find the right words before five cut in again.

“We’re your children,” Reginald gave him a displeased look, “We’re from the future.” Dear old Reggie didn’t seem all too happy with the idea of having children, so when the group stayed silent once again y/n finally spoke up from their seat.

“In 1989, you adopted us all and trained us to fight against the end of the world. You called us the umbrella academy.” The sudden joining of the conversation brought all the attention to them. It surprised the rest of their siblings, seeing as y/n normally just minded their own business. However, they supposed this was their business.

“Why on earth would I adopt seven-”

“Eight. One of us isn’t here.” Allison corrected.

“Dead. One of us is dead.” Diego filled in the answer to what they assumed Reggie’s next question would be.

“Yeah, ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba. Enough of that now.” Klaus spun in his seat, talking to what looked like an empty chair to the rest of them.

Could he just be quiet for FIVE MINUTES.

When he spun back he noticeably shuddered and then it clicked in Klaus’s head. Ignoring the attention from everyone at the table he pushed his chair out and violently pointed his finger at y/n.

“Hey! Get out of my head!” Everyone now turned their looks back to y/n. They had no response other than slouching down into their seat and turning their head to focus back onto the decor.

Reginald took the silence as an invitation to begin speaking again, “Regardless, what would possess me to adopt eight ill-mannered malcontents?”

“We all have special abilities.” Five explained.

“Special?” Reginald Questioned, “In what sense?”

“In the super power sense.” Luther finally joined in on the conversation.

“Call me old fashioned, but I’m a stickler for a pesky little thing called evidence. Show me.”

“Everybody wants to see powers all of a sudden.” Allison proceeded to scoff before she was cut off.

“We’re not circus animals, okay? We’re not gonna bounce balls on our noses and clap like seals for your amusement.” Luther attempted to accentuate his point by literally clapping his hands together. That’s when Diego pulled out a knife and allowed it to slice through the air and around Reginald’s head, sinking into a support post behind him.

Reggie decided to pull out his pen and begin writing in one of those god-awful leather bound notebooks he constantly wrote in when they were younger. They all leaned in, upset that he was doing it again.

“What’re you writing?” Diego asked.

“You are zero for two, young man.” At that statement Diego immediately pushed out of his chair, lunging towards their father. However, Five was much faster using his spatial jumps. He managed to flash in front of Diego, effectively preventing him from being shanked by their dad again.

“Stop!” Fives voice was no louder than a whisper although they all still heard him.

“Now that is interesting.” Reginald noted aloud. Once Diego was 'calm’ again. Five relaxed, walking back to his seat.

“All right, uh, quick rundown-”

“Luther, super strength. Klaus can commune with the dead.” As they gestured to Klaus once more their siblings shocked glances paused them once more.

They’re face scrunched up. “What? We all know Five’s definition of quick.” Their sass earned them chuckles from everyone at the table apart from their very loving brother, Five, and their very loving.... father.

“Anyways,” They continued, “Allison can rumor anyone to do anything-”

“Yea, except she never uses it.” This time it was y/n who was cut off by Diego. That comment caused Allison to give him a pointed look.

“I heard a rumor, you punched yourself in the face.” Diego’s eyes turned white and his fist soar through the air and hit his nose straight on. His groan from the pain echoed through the room and Reginald adjusted himself in his seat, clearly unamused and slightly concerned.

This time, the academy kids held in their laughs worried Diego might be the one shanking them.

"And y/n has the power to read minds.” Five attempted to finish the conversation however they all forgot about the sibling who most recently discovered their powers. “And you?”

To this, Vanya lifted her head and everyone’s amused looks soon turned nervous.

“Uh, maybe we don’t take Vanya for a test run.” Luther’s voice was laced with fear and the table tried to agree with him however Vanya seemed to think differently.

“It’s fine. I can handle it.” She reached forward for a fork and glass.

“Handle it?” Allison asked, “Last time you handled it, you definitely blew up the moon.” This time, the six siblings tried to stop her and braced themselves for the impact of what might be the end of the world... again.

Once the fork hit the glass she focused in on the ringing noise and allowed herself to blow up the fruity centerpiece, sending chunks of pineapple and mango flying everywhere.

While they all tried to wipe away the fruit on their clothes Vanya just let out a small “oops.”

“Look, we know you’re involved in a plot to assassinate the president.” To that, Reggie quipped back at Diego.

“You were recently hospitalized, isn’t that correct?” Diego sputtered at the statement. “You still appear to be suffering from delusions of grandeur and acute paranoia.”

Diego, pissed off, pulled out a photo of him. “Am I?” He asked, standing up. The photo revealed to be-

“That’s you. That’s two days from now on the grassy knoll at the exact spot the presidents gonna get shot.” Reginald slowly picked up the photo, looking at it for a moment.

“Well... I suppose you’ve solved it. You’ve single-handedly unearthed my nefarious plot.” Y/n was taking it in. They supposed that’s what Diego wanted but, there was sarcasm. A lot of it at that.

“Is that what you wanted to hear?” They knew it. “You fancy yourself a do-gooder? The last man who will save us from our descent into corruption and conspiracy? This is a fantastic delusion. The sad reality is that you’re a desperate man, tragically unaware of his own insignificance, desperately clinging to his own ineffectual reasoning. More succinctly, a man in over his head.” At this the table was stunned into silence.

Diego allowed one tear to slip out. It rolled down his cheek in solidarity. “You’re wr-r-r-wrong.” He managed to finally stutter out.

He’s right.

Diego’s body shivered. He quickly whipped out another knife and flung it across the table, stabbing y/n’s upper arm. “Didn’t anyone tell you it’s rude to eavesdrop?” His voice was laced with venom and seemed to shut them out of his head.

They pulled the knife out of their arm and pressed a thick napkin to the wound. The knife clattered back across the table. “Didn’t anyone tell you it’s rude to stab your sibling?”

The group stayed silent until Five spoke up. Shocker. “Look, forget about the president. We have a catastrophic war coming in five days. We need to figure out how to stop it.”

“Why? Men will always be at war with each other.” Reggie tried to reason.

“No, this isn’t just some war. I’m talking about a doomsday. The end of the world.”

“Well.. You’re the special ones aren’t you?” The group proceeded to glare at him. “Why don’t you band together and do something about it?”

Unbelievable.

The siblings collective annoyed thoughts were soon cut off but their brother, Klaus. His body was suddenly jolted forward, shaking violently. His air way seemed to be cut. They all sat concerned and puzzled.

“Y/n is that-”

“No, I don’t know what that is.”

“Is he having a seizure?”

“Overdosing probably.” Diego muttered. All of sudden a voice and thoughts flooded Y/n’s mind. They were so loud. Y/n pushed their chair back, standing up. Their hands flew up to their ears, as if covering them would stop the words flowing through their head.

“Klaus, Y/n. Now is not the time. What’re you doing?”

The noises only got louder. “I’m...” His voice was strangled and chalky.

Reginald had quite enough of whatever was going on. “Well, out with it boy.”

Klaus took a deep breath and finally spit out, “...Ben!” He soon gasped and fell out of his chair. He continued to shake here and there and allowed a few groans to get out but none of the above concerned any of his siblings enough to do anything.

“Well...” Reggie trailed off, “thank you for coming. I’ve seen about enough.” He stacked up his books and climbed over Klaus’s convulsing body.

“No, I-” Luther tried to speak up, however Hargreeves kept walking. Luther, upset he didn’t get to say anything the whole time he was here, slammed his fists down onto the table. That certainly gained the room attention.

He ripped his shirt open revealing his ape like skin. “Look at what you did to me! Look at it!” Allison nearly spit out her drink and and Five let out an “oh, shit. Why?” with a solid eye roll and slouched into his chair.

“Okay then. Anybody else wish to embarrass themselves this evening?” Nobody moved, obviously not wanting to embarrass themselves. “I guess I’ll-”

“No.” Y/n shook their head. “You don’t get to walk away after that. You don’t get to just leave after destroying our lives and blaming it on us. You forced us to dedicate everything to saving the stupid world and the stupid people who live on it. I never.. We never wanted to do that. We didn’t get a choice to be who we are, so, because you are the one who disfigured our existences, you are going to be the one who helps get everything back on track.” Out of breath, they finally looked up and locked gazes with their father

“If anyone disfigured your lives, it was yourselves.”

“Really? That’s all you have to say?” They paused before continuing the rant, “You know, Reginald, I don’t think I’m the one who forced myself to become afraid of people because their thoughts were so loud. Leading me to dissociating myself from my siblings and the people around me. In fact, I don’t think any of us would be this fucked up had you just allowed us to be our own people with a family and parents who actually loved us. Who wanted to dedicate their time to furthering us in life, not just using us for their own advantages.”

“I’m sure whatever I did was to further you in life. I wouldn’t waste my time on something that I was sure to fail.” Hargreeves looked around the room, noticing the mess of a ‘family’ sitting in front of him. “Clearly, I had a miss in judgement.”

At that he finally turned to leave the room. “You in the culottes?” He motioned to Five. “A word, in private?” Five followed suit leaving the six of them disheveled and wondering what to do next.

The ring of the elevator doors sounded around them. “Well, that went as good as any Hargreeves family function.” At that Y/n zoned out again. Maybe they didn’t want to but that’s what they had practiced after so many years. Pretending like their siblings weren’t even in the room with them.

“Where’d that whole speech come from, Y/n/n?” Allison added them into the ‘conversation.’

“Oh, um, I suppose I was just sick of allowing him to get away with whatever he wanted to.”

“That’s one way to put it.” Diego harped on their response, clearly still upset about Y/n entering his head.

The elevator doors finally opened once more, letting them escape the hellhole of a family meeting they just adjourned. They all flooded into the hallway not making any eye contact. “Team Zero my ass.”

I'm trying to sleep but I cant bc if this this idea in my idea do here have it and fo eith it as you will; Nyx reborn into the KHR universe.

Pure. Unadulterated. Chaos.

Because if you think this boy is gonna be anything but the world’s most reckless and powerful Inverted Stormy Sun you’ve got another think coming.

Probably becomes like- a message runner/thief. Something high speed and dangerous that isn’t straight up murder-land. Despite this, he quickly gains something of his own famiglia from all the strays he keeps picking up along the way. Famiglia of info-brokers, thieves, and other sneaky mouthy folk. It’s great. He calls them the Kingsglaive out of nostalgia and everyone wears an Ulric braid.

Has 100% mouthed off to Xanxus and gotten away with it.

Misses his warping like crazy. It’s not fair. He gets sparkly fire powers and they AREN’T the ones that can teleport. Boo.

Still he gets to make stuff disintegrate and he has almost limitless energy so hah.

Finds Tsunayoshi when Tsuna is newly sealed and Smol and Sad and just Nopes his way into that situation because this is Wrong and he’s Reckless so here’s to kidnapping Tsuna and his mom and carting them off somewhere private to get those seals off (because in this universe Nana also has a seal on her that makes her so ditzy and air headed since she’s a Latent Sky who would otherwise know better than to touch Iemitsu with a thousand foot pole, but Iemitsu is all the levels of Jerk in this and wanted That Specific Pretty Lady as a mindless trophy wife so...)

Anyway Nyx yoinks the seals off with a combo of stubborn stupidity and stupidly strong Flames and Tsuna and Nana are more than a little confused and grateful. Nyx explains the Mafia thing and Nana goes Active from pure rage over being ... well ... married to the guy who robbed her of almost all intelligence and free will and then tried to do the same thing TO HER SON.

Nyx is more than happy to get them new identities and take them to Mafia Land where even Vongola can’t touch them without setting off a war and helping Nana set up the world’s best cafe on the island to support herself and her son without Iemitsu. He also gets divorce papers via his Network, all without Iemitsu’s knowing (dude really needs to pay more attention to what paperwork he’s signing).

Also Nana (now named Hestia) becomes Nyx’s Sky. And his much needed Momming Figure because he doesn’t have a Lib to Braincell him (yet). Tsuna (now named Regis because Nyx is a Sap) adores his reckless big brother.

Of course, two skies living on Mafia Land is gonna attract ALL the attention (minus Iemitsu who is an Idiot and doesn’t even register the possibility that these two are his wife and child because those are TOTALLY still back in Japan being a nice trophy family TOTALLY). It isn’t long before people are coming to the cafe for both the good food and a chance to Court either Sky in hopes of getting a harmony. Of course to Court either, they have to get past Nyx and Nyx’s info network first which is a grueling gauntlet of terror and mind-screwing because 90% of Nyx’s info network/friends are all Mists who keeping trying and failing to Braincell this reckless reborn Ulric.

One day an Inverted Cloud shows up at Hestia’s cafe, takes one (1) look at Nyx, who is on forced vacation with his arm in a sling, and starts reaming him out. People kinda side-eye the Cloud, expecting blood to fly, but instead Nyx bursts into tears of joy because IT’S LIB. LIB IS HERE. Wait that means you died DANG IT LIB YOU PROMISED.

Lib: I DIED AT AGE EIGHTY WITH GREAT-GRANDKIDS. TIMELINE IS JUST SCREWED UP HERE. YOU’RE THE ONE WHO DIED YOUNG AND DUMB AND HAVING LIED TO ME. YOU DON’T GET TO LECTURE ME ON ANYTHING.

Nyx: I HAD TO PROTECT YOU AND LUNA.

Lib: NOT BY GETTING USED AS A CANDLE BY THE GHOSTS OF SOME OLD DUDES IN A RING YOU DIDN’T.

Random Vongola agent who happens to be in earshot and knows the legend of the Vongola Rings: ????????????

Anyway eventually more formerly dead glaives show up and wind up being Nana/Hestia’s Elements and Tsuna/Regis grows up thoroughly Galahdian and self-confident and HUGELY POWERFUL as a Sky because HAH take that Vongola. Also somehow the entire mafia world, proving their SPARKLING non-intelligence, never realizes that Tsuna is like- a vongola.

Because he totally doesn’t look like a mini ghost of Primo or anything NO SIR (rolls eyes).

Also Tsuna/Regis somehow still picks up all his canon elements.

Gokudera when they snap bond after running into each other on Mafia Land.

Takeshi on a visit to japan with Nyx where Tsuna/Regis talks Takeshi out of jumping off a bridge and also maybe running away to be mafia with him rather than hang out with the bullies on his baseball team.

Kyoka and Ryohei after Nyx accidentally rescues them from a child trafficking ring (blowing up the trafficking ring in the process VERY intentionally thank you).

Hibari because the little maniac FOLLOWED NYX HOME after picking a fight with him during one of his deliveries to someone in Namimori (Regis took great offense to this kid attacking HIS big brother and Threw Hands in true Galahdian fashion, Hibari was an Awe of this Smol deceptively fluffy and cute carnivore). Lambo just kinda ... shows up one day and never leaves (Nyx suspects his family intentionally “lost” him in Mafia Land while on vacation and makes a mental note to have his info network raise hell for the Bovino because HOW DARE).

However, his FIRST Elements are Mukuro and his gang. Because Nyx may or may not have busted into the lab by accident while looking to steal something else entirely and then gone on a Rampage through the facility, rescuing kids as he went. The moment Regis laid eyes on the shell-shocked, skinny, traumatized Mukuro and co, he ran over and pumped them full of Sky Flames to make them feel better and BOOM snap bond.

Libertus and the others work hard to keep Mukuro on an even keel. While also telling the Vindice to shove it when they come sniffing around because YOU CAN’T BUST US FOR BREAKING THE NO-FIGHTING LAW WHEN YOU WERE IGNORING THIS. The Vindice, surprisingly, accept this argument and buzz off.

Mukuro wandered off and came home with Chrome one day when he was twelve. No one knows how. No one knows why. But there is no way you are convincing Nyx or anyone else in Hestia’s Elements that Chrome isn’t Mukuro’s long lost twin and thus THEIRS.

Also Chrome does not have organ damage in this so yay.

Nyx takes one (1) look at Reborn when the cursed baby comes sniffing around Hestia’s cafe in curiosity of the Uber Powerful Skies, sees Reborn smack Regis with Leon Mallet, and promptly Throws Hands.

Reborn was Not Prepared for this Stormy Sun to be able to steamroll him with the vast and unorthodox experience of being a Glaive who tackles Flames with the understanding of Magic That Can Do Pretty Much What I Want Barring Some Things rather than the Mafia’s religiously conditioned rules of Flames Do This and Are Like This And Only This and then kick him off the nearest peer.

Colonello, who has already been taught to Fear The Reincarnated Feral Glaives, just sits there and laughs at Reborn’s confusion at finally meeting a Sun even more powerful and stubborn than him.

Also at some point Nyx straight up steals Xanxus because the Varia hired him to and then just .... never gives him back. Melts him free, sure, but the kid is CLEARLY unstable and in need of mental help and Vongola sure isn’t going to give it to him so Nyx just kinda ... sics Hestia on Xanxus and when the Varia come thundering in thinking Nyx had broken his contract they find Xanxus sitting there with a befuddled but surprisingly un-angry expression, holding a cup of tea rather than alcohol and with Hestia putting his favorite steak down for him.

Also Regis is sitting in Xanxus’s lap radiating so much Sky Flames that Xanxus can’t really ... think straight enough to be mad about much. Because seriously if Tsuna/Regis could defeat a trained assassin when he was a noob middle school kid while his Flames were SEALED then you better believe that when unsealed and raised in a loving, nurturing environment he can Therapy Jutsu anyone through the sheer power of his Flame aura.

Except Iemitsu.

Iemitsu gets shanked at some point.

Nobody will say by who.

But Libertus looks very, very Smug (he is a Cloud and Hestia and Regis are part of his Territory. What did you expect to happen. The only difference between Lib and Hibari is Lib is an Inverted and so is better at the Stealthy Route).

Hey. Could I request headcanons of shanks' s/o feeling invisible and lashing out due to the bitterness that surrounds feeling invisible and Shanks comforting them and spending a day focusing on them to help lessen them feeling invisible? Hurt/comfort with fluff at the end? Thank you. Love your writing.

(I hope this came out okay ☺️)

It's really hard to feel confident about your strength when you're in a Yonko crew.

Literally everyone around you has unhuman-like strength, and enough power to conquer a piece of the New World.

And especially with the Red Haired crew, who had the smallest crew out of all four emperors, was considered by many in the Grandline to be arguably the strongest with that fact alone.

And also that fact the captain in his hay day was able to stand equal to the strongest swordsman in the world there's that too.

Without a doubt you had love and admiration for every single member of your crew, all of them were incredibly down to earth and especially kind, your captain being the most passionate out of all of them, one of the main reasons you fell in love with him.

But you always found yourself envious of all of them.

You weren't necessarily a fighter, sure you would willingly be ready to up arms once trouble came but not strong enough to eventually find yourself being saved time and time again.

Every time it made you sick to your stomach and disappointed in yourself, why were you a part of a Yonko crew when you couldn't even fight like it?!

So came a day when one of these fateful rescues took place.

The crew faced down some cocky group of pirates fairly new to the New World, and stupid enough to go after a Yonko (*cough cough* it's fucking Kid *cough*)

In the battle you twisted your ankle and began to tumble down and the same moment one of the pirates saw an opening, and in the moment of pure panic Shanks, who normally would stay out of your fights knowing your complex, dashed over and with a clash of his sword, he looked back at you before calling Roo over to get you back to ship.

You laid in the med ward for days refusing to speak to anyone.

The rest of the crew would pass by worried but Shanks gave the okay that you'd be okay in a few days.

Though the fact you even refused to speak to him did worry him a bit.

Then came the day you finally recovered. You made your way out to deck where the crew sat and drank and partied, you know, the normal. Shanks sat at his seat and his eyes immediately lit up as they fell on you.

"(Name)! Good to see you out of bed so soon, I was worried that 'ya'd find the bed in the ward so comfortable that you'd refuse to sleep in ours ever again!" His contagious laugh caught with the rest of the crew around him.

You shook your head as you began to make your way to your shared cabin. Seeing this, Shanks immediately rose to his feet, dashing over to you and grabbing your hand to stop you from leaving.

"Come on, love! You know I'm just joking around."

"Yeah I know, Shanks." You tried to pull your arm out of his grasp.

"Come on, have a few drinks with us. After all you've been through, you need it." A frown made its way on your face.

"I'm not in the mood, Shanks." Already aware of what's up, he gave you a small smile as his grip on your hand slightly tightened.

"Come on, I'm sure a few with the boys will make you feel-"

You finally yanked your hand from his, your cold expression already crackling with everything you held inside, the Yonko already regretted his choice of words.

"I said I'm not in the mood! I'm not in the mood to go over there and be reminded that you and all of those men would be damn fine without me! Now if you'd excuse me, I'd rather go somewhere where someone weak and normal like me can go and not need constant protection."

He watched you trudge away back to your shared cabin with a heavy smile, the soft secure smile he put on just for you quickly fading away.

"Looks like someone's in the doghouse." Fucking Yasopp. A loud blunt force echoed from his head.

“Yewouch! Benn! The hell is your problem?!"

Shanks clicked his tongue, undecidedly. He could go in there to comfort you, or (most likely) get slapped and thrown out on his ass.

“You'll never learn to shut your mouth, will you?"

The Yonko reflexively reached up for the top of his hat, but only to touch the top of his head. Oh yeah, Luffy. He turned around to look back at the rest of his partying crew, who seemed to have no clue what had happened.

He grudgingly trudged back over to his original seat, the image of your broken expression still fresh in his mind

Oh he needed to fix this.

Then the relationship saving lightbulb went off his head.

Oh he had just the right solution to solve this.

At exactly 5:02 am did the loud knocks on your bedroom door yank you out of sleep. The early morning light filled the room, but your fresh out of sleep eyes couldn't make out what the fuck was happening and what was making that ungodly noise.

After a few long waking moments did you finally piece it together and after glancing at the time did you throw your legs out of bed to get yourself up to get to the door.

"Either Yasopp better be dead or the ship's bring hijacked to be an excuse to get me up at this ungodly-"

You opened the door to meet a tall figure.

"-hour…"

Benn stood in your doorway, the vice captain scratched at his nose biting down nervously at the cigarette in his mouth.

"Benn?"

"I uh...overhead your outburst yesterday, and I uh...wanted to ask if you wanted to go out to town with me today?"

Benjamin 'I show no signs of weakness' Beckman was acting nervous.

Benjamin 'My only love is my gun' Beckman never is nervous.

"We uh...docked not that long ago."

This immediately tipped your suspensions. Something in the back of your mind told you a certain Red Haired bastard had to be behind this.

"Sure Benn, I'd love too. Around what time do you want to set off?"

Something in him seemed to be caught off guard, he looked around before biting the slightest bit tighter on his cigarette.

"Around nine." You gave him a smile and a nod.

"Well, see you then."

You gently closed the door back. You sighed as you took a step back.

Shanks, what were you planning?

At 9:15, the two of you met on deck to set off. As you went to get off ship you took note that every member gave you a warm smile and a gentle greeting as they all carried large barrels out of the ship's storage, which really wasn't all that ordinary since the barrels all contained alcohol and your crew was nothing but a bunch of alcoholics.

No what was another tip off was not only was Yasopp not being a piece of shit towards you. He actually gave you a kind hello and said something along the lines of that Shanks went off to take care of some business earlier in the morning. (That didn't stop him from making the in the doghouse joke and about the deck not being very comfortable)

Benn then took you to the small port town, Benn letting you decide to go everywhere you wanted. The two of you went shopping, saw a street performance, went and got dinner at a small restaurant, and rode on some small rides at the visiting carnival (Which Benn wasn't a big fan of.)

You might've even regretted your decision of choosing Shanks as your boyfriend (but the Red Haired bastard already had your heart for too long)

Around the evening did the two of you decided to head back to ship, the deep dark thoughts of you being an unneeded part of the crew, while still there, was pushed back to the farthest part of your mind.

As soon as your feet hit the deck of the Red Force, did another tip off went through your mind.

No one was on deck. Not a single drunk soul.

Benn lit up a cigarette next to you and shove his hands in his pockets.

"Well that's strange. Where'd everyone go?"

You looked around, looking for any signs of your lover. He had to be behind this.

Benn made his way to the door of the mess hall.

"Maybe we missed dinner?" You cocked your eyebrow. Yup, he's leading you.

You followed Benn into the mess hall.

What time of surprise party shit were you going to find yourself in?

The moment your feet left the stair and landed on the planked floor did the scene in front of you bring tears to your eyes.

Shanks stood in front of you, flowers in his hand as the rest of the crew held up their mugs of alcohol to you and a shitty made banner with your name on it in your favorite color hung from the ceiling.

Shanks walked closer to you and handed you the flowers, his only arm wrapping around your waist to press a kiss to the top of your head.

You felt your heart thump happily in your chance as he looked back to you to give you a small loving smile. Your arms wrapped around him to bring him into a kiss and you could barely hear the whistles and cheers around you as he was the only thing your mind became focused on was him.

He pulled back with a laugh and lifted you up and spun you around. He leaned close into your ear.

"I love you, (Name). I'm really sorry about yesterday and that...that you feel not that appreciated that you should be...I'm sorry." You felt your cheeks tinted as your arms wrapped around his neck, his red hair tickling your arm. You smiled.

"It's fine, Shanks...love you too."

The two of you ended up in Shanks' captain seat in the mess hall. His hand with a mug of whiskey wrapped around you, and you with yours in his lap.

The crew around you laughed as they drank.

"Oh! And there was that time (Name) saw one of Kaido's ships! If it wasn't for them we all could've been food for Sea Kings!"

"No wait, the best thing I can recall (Name) doing was saving Yasopp's ass in that territory raid two years ago!"

"If it wasn't for their observation haki, we would've never made it out of Big Mom's territory!"

"Oh I remember that! Didn't they flip off what's his face...uh…the candy cane guy! One of Big Mom's older children."

"Charlotte Perospero."

"Yeah, that guy!"

The crew all laughed and you found the big smile on your face still hadn't left as the crew helped boost your confidence.

"Men, men. We can all agree (Name) has done many great things for us all."

The Red Haired crew looked back at their captain excitedly.

He looked at you with a knowing smile, you covered your face with your hands knowing what was coming. He raised his mug in the air, whiskey sloshing out of the brim.

"To (Name)!"

The crew raised up their mugs.

"To (Name)!"

The crew broke into a loud laughter and cheers as you shook your head. The Yonko let his chin rest in the dip in your shoulder as the two of you watched your crew having a good time. He then pressed multiple kisses to your cheek.

"I just hope you know that you mean the whole world to me. Weak and normal, Love, none of that matters all that matters is that every single person on this crew sees your strength, sure that might not be physical, but you've done so much more than just battle strength wise, you've brightened up crew so much and we all can't wait to continue on with you at our side."

The messenger

Word Count: 4,532

Pairing: Kidd x fem!reader

Warnings: swearing, akwardness

Annotations: (W/O/C)=Weapon of choice, Freya is my friend´s OC

A/N: this used to be a self insert, so this is based in my headcanon verse, meaning it´s packed with world Building, OCs and noncanon ships (like Mihawk x Shanks)

Summary: You´re the vice captain of the Whitebeard Crew (a title you hate since you´re really just a messenger), Ace is your best friend and you like that one band with the lead singer Ace seems to hate. What happens when you run into each other?

It was sunrise when you arrived on Sabaody and you were beyond excited.

You see, it wasn´t often that you had a free day, let alone one where it was possible to go the amusement park and see your favorite band.

Everything was just going so well, it was almost too good to be true.

Ace and you were sent to make sure your relations with Fishmen Island were still good and nobody was attacking the island.

You were sort of the messenger of Whitebeard´s crew, being the vice captain and all.

Though you didn´t like that title, it was too great for someone like you, yet Pops had faith in you.

He was the only father you had ever known and he was the best too.

You grew up on his ship after he found you on an island, abandoned by your mother right after birth.

The crew quickly became your family and you loved being there, being on the crew was the greatest thing that ever happened to you.

Especially since you met Ace, he was like a brother to you.

Though you had to admit it wasn´t always as nice as it is now, you didn´t trust him at first.

In fact you tried killing him when he came to murder pops.

But then you learned all about his background, his ambitions and dreams, his little mannerisms and the way he could make you laugh and ever since then you´d do everything to keep him next to you and safe.

Nobody fucks with you or your family, that´s your credo so to speak.

And you had a pretty big family, also outside of the crew.

You met many great people on your journey and you were grateful to every single of them.

You would never forget meeting Shanks on Hell´s Bells for the first time, it was your first time on his island as well.

You were so uneasy, you have never been to another Yonko´s territory before and honestly it scared the shit out of you.

Not being allowed to bring your (W/O/C) it was even worse, you actually thought you were going to die.

And then you met him and his crew alongside the best swordsman in the world and the woman who you accidentally called mom every now and then.

They were drinking in a bar, having fun as you walked in with wobbly legs, staring at the ground.

“Excuse me for disturbing, Whitebeard sent me” you said with shivering voice.

Shanks and the others looked at you dumbfounded before the redhead burst out into laughter.

Mihawk just shook his head, rolling his eyes while Freya gave you the warmest smile you ever received.

“Shanks, you´re scaring the girl” Mihawk warned him, shooting him a glare, making Shanks be quiet.

This was the most intimidating man you have ever met, his sister was even worse as you found out later.

“But I´m not doing anything, babe” he whined, giving his lover puppy dog eyes, the swordsman just sighed.

“What brings you here, little girl?” Freya was the first to speak up about the reason you were here.

“M-my captain sent me to discuss some matters...” you mumbled, not meeting their eyes, you were too scared.

“Sit down, lass” the woman gestured you to sit down next to her and you did.

Talking business wasn´t as bad as you thought it would be, in fact from then on you found yourself in this odd group of friends quite often.

You grew close to them and added them to your family.

They all told you about their story and you looked up to them.

You didn´t meet Ayumi up to two years from then and fuck was she scary, she seemed even more cold and numb than her brother, you never saw her smile.

Well, that was until you witnessed her with her girlfriend, but that´s a story for another time.

You met Luffy, Ace´s brother, too, you accompanied him in Alabasta for a bit, but you had to leave early since you had some other business to attend to.

The great thing was that you kept in contact with all of your friends and family, you were always scared of meeting great people and then never seeing each other again.

But it wasn´t like that at all.

You met up regularly and exchanged stories and alcohol.

But today was a day you and Ace were alone, just the two of you.

It wasn´t bad, you liked those days, you were on the same crew but had so many different missions, you barely saw each other.

Of course you called each other and sent letters, but that wasn´t the same as actually having a day off to yourselves.

“I´m never gonna get tired of this island” you sighed dreamily, walking through the lawless area was scary the first time, but you were well known enough for people to fuck off.

“I´m hungry, let´s grab some food” Ace suggested, making you chuckle.

“You´re always hungry” you teased him.

“Well yeah, but that´s not the point” he pouted, crossing his arms, you always had to laugh when he pouted.

“Alright you big baby, let´s get you some food” you grabbed onto Ace´s arm and dragged him to the next bar.

He ordered food for the both of you and when he fell asleep you checked the newspaper for new information on the concert tonight.

Aside from the usual bullshit that he pulled as a pirate you also found the location and time of the concert.

Okay, he was an asshole as a pirate, yes, you has to admit that.

The thing was this: he was hot and could sing like a god, you never heard such powerful words.

But then again, to you he wasn´t the super rookie, he was just an attractive lead singer from a nice band.

You highly doubted you would ever run into him professionally, though if you would and he did indeed spell trouble, you wouldn´t hesitate to fight him.

In all honesty you didn´t think he was as stupid as the newspaper depicted him, yeah maybe you did want to meet him, maybe you did have a slight crush on him, but you were rational enough to know it would never go anywhere.

He probably didn´t even know you existed.

And it was good this way, if you were ever to run into him privately, you wouldn´t even know what to say, you were the most awkward person to exist, you overthought the hell out of everything, how the fuck should meeting the hottest bastard on earth work without you embarrassing yourself in front of him? So you might as well leave it be.

The article in the newspaper was about their arrival on Sabaody. You never would´ve thought you´d be on the same island as Stale Rose.

Of course you were excited, they were your favorite band goddammit.

“What´re you smiling at?” Ace yawned, he finally woke up.

“They´re here!” you squealed and Ace just sighed.

“You know Kidd´s an asshole, right? I´d rather we avoid them” Ace grumbled and you just shot him a glare.

“You don´t know that, Ace! You know I hate it when you talk about him like that” you defended him, of course you knew Ace was right, but a girl can dream, eh?

“I can read, (Y/N). I know what they say about him in the newspaper, all the awful things he´s done” Ace added, highly annoyed by the redhead.

“Do you know all the shitty things they write about you? About me? Pops? Shanks? All of us? And you know as well as me that those things aren´t true, so why are you so quick to judge him?” you didn´t know why you even bothered defending someone you didn´t know, it was weird but you guessed it was normal since he was in your favorite band.

“I just don´t want you hanging around with him” Ace said, the thought made him beyond uncomfortable.

“I´m just going to his concert, for fuck´s sake!” you raised your voice, you got why Ace was worried, but still, to this extent?

You two spent a bit of time in the amusement park, attending the rides and eating way too much candy.

“Ah! That was fun!” you sighed dreamily, stretching your arms, smiling.

“Yeah it was, I wish we would get more days off” Ace said and you nodded.

It really wasn´t easy getting any free days nowadays, especially with such a big crew.

You walked a while longer until you coincidentally came by Shakky´s bar.

You grabbed Ace´s hand and walked faster until you arrived.

Rayleigh was the one who taught you Haki, he was family and so was his wife.

She was always there for you, you could always call her and come to her if you needed anything.

Shakky was like a cool grandma.

Little did you know Kidd was in the bar you were about to enter.

He was pissed off at the newest article about him and how his crew was proud of it, he just really needed a drink now, how the fuck was he supposed to know the owner of the bar was the wife of the dark king?

“Holy shit! You´re Rayleigh!” he had this habit of talking without thinking which to be honest could be blessing and curse.

You´d find it cute if only nobody would talk shit about Kidd.

Rayleigh just laughed, Shakky chuckled as well, resting her face on her hand.

This wasn´t uncommon, Rogers fans always came here, but most of them were arrogant idiots who thought they could surpass him.

Kidd wasn´t.

He knew his place all too well.

Of course Roger was his idol, but so was his whole crew, he loved the old generation, they had real guts.

He wanted to be just like them, there were only few people he´d wanted to meet, but pirates from the old generation were totally one of them.

“What do you want to drink, boy?” Shakky asked, readying two glasses behind the counter.

“Oh fuck, right! I´m sorry, I just didn´t think I´d meet any famous people today, I´ll just have some whiskey, please.” Kidd tried to sort his mind, which always ended in him rambling.

Sure he was a loud mouth, but that was only when someone insulted him, the old generation or his friends. It was only in few moments he couldn´t control his rage and thoughts, in the other moments he preferred not to talk so much.

Ironic for a singer who yells his emotions out onstage, isn´t it?

“Coming right up” Shakky smiled and prepared the drinks.

“I know you get this a lot, but you´re seriously amazing. You and Roger and all the others from your generation, you just did all the awesome stuff without sprouting too many words about it. I mean you defined what being a pirate really means, you defined freedom and the real meaning of wealth and values, all those virtues. I admire you so much… I know to you I´m just another stupid rookie who doesn´t know shit and is obnoxious but I want to thank you. I´m grateful for everything you did, because if you didn´t and if Roger never told us about the One Piece, it would mean that the government would´ve won. It would mean a world full of despair, a caged life really. You fought for us so we could have freedom and I think what we´re all trying to do, at least in my case, is to impress you. To live up to you, make you proud” Kidd stated, leaving Rayleigh and Shakky quiet for a moment.

Nobody ever thanked them. Nobody ever acknowledged the hardships they went through and yet this rookie did.

He really was smarter than the newspaper made him out to be.

“We´re not so different than you might think. You guys fight for the same thing we did back then, I´m just glad there are good guys like you out there, most pirates who come here are disrespectful and don´t know anything about this world we live in, they think they can do everything on their own, take people on who are obviously out of their league. You know, kind of like you are depicted in the newspaper. But then again, I never was someone who believed in them. If you would know what they wrote about us back then” Rayleigh took a drink with Kidd and laughed at the memory.

Shakky rested her hand on his shoulder, sentiment could be a good thing if it stayed like now. Remembering happy days with Roger and the others could turn into sadness quickly though.

“Remember when we celebrated Rogers birthday and in the next day we apparently competed with Whitebeard who could kill more civilians?” Shakky chimed in, giggling, those were times…

Kidd couldn´t believe it and made big eyes, almost choking on his drink.

Rayleigh laughed even louder now.

“What?! That sounds like a great story… that´s why you´re my heroes, no matter what you did, it was awesome, everything´s such a great story” Kidd told them, smiling sadly.

The government really had nothing better to do than frame pirates for killing innocents.

To be fair though, most pirates were like that.

“If you want to hear good stories, you really should ask that brat Shanks, he´s always in some sort of trouble. I wonder what he´s up to these days, I haven´t heard from him since that battle against Hawkeyes.” Rayleigh thought out loud, he really needed to meet up with him more often.

“Yeah, Redhair really is amazing… he hasn´t been a Yonko for so long, but he´s so powerful. I really want to fight alongside him someday….” Kidd let his thoughts run wild and Rayleigh gave Shakky a soft look before smiling at Kidd.

So much for him wanting to start a fight with Shanks and taking him down.

“I can also recommend a good source for great stories” Shakky smirked at Rayleigh who could barely hold his laughter in.

He sensed Ace and you coming from a mile away.

“Her and Ace were in the local newspaper today actually, have you read it, Rayleigh?” Shakky got a hold of it, the local newspaper was just gossip really, gossip for pirates to bad mouth each other.

“What´s it say this time? Ace and her break up?” he laughed and Kidd frowned.

Of course he knew you, how could he not? But the things they say about you in the newspaper weren´t all lies, sometimes you wished they were.

The things they said about you in the local newspaper though, it was all bullshit, except for the wanted posters.

“Says she burned down a ship of Big Mom´s. And she´s got a new mugshot, her bounty also rose up...” she sighed, she wondered what you were up to.

“Whitebeard and Big Mom fighting? I don´t think so, especially not at this time. Show me the poster, dear” he faced it so that Kidd could see it too.

It took everything from him not to blush like a mad man, fuck you were so beautiful.

“700,000,000 beri?!” Kidd exclaimed, that was 500,000,000 more than him. Impressive.

“Like I said, bunch of good stories” Shakky giggled.

Kidd was in awe.

“I bet she has… I always wanted to meet her but for someone like me that´s just impossible. Besides, if I ever did I´d only end up embarrassing myself. I suck at talking to people I admire” he was brutally honest, something Rayleigh treasured more than anything and he knew you did too.

“Not to brace myself but did you think you´d meet me today? And I don´t think you´re embarrassing yourself at all, I think you´re presenting yourself in a good way, you´re honest and even if the truth is ugly, you still say it as it is. Not many people do that. An honest person deserves my respect. And you don´t have to worry about (Y/N), she´s a sweet kid, not like the mugshots depict her. Really, how is it that those marines always get the worst angles?” Rayleigh chuckled.

He knew how much you hated your mugshots.

“Thank you, that means a lot, coming from you” Kidd smiled as the door opened and you entered.

“Could you maybe not dash every time you see someone you know?!” Ace groaned out of breath and you just shook my head.

“Could you maybe stop being an antisocial baby about it?!” you yelled back, crossing your arms and glaring at him.

“Don´t give me the mom look” Ace pouted.

“I don´t have a fucking mom look!” you whined, finally looking ahead to the bar.

You choked on your own breath as you started punching Ace´s arm and trying to keep your inhumane screech down.

“Ouch, ouch! Stop that, what the hell? Oh, him.” Ace followed your view and looked Kidd dead in the eye.

Kidd felt like he was in the wrong place at the wrong time, why was this guy so intimidating?

“Hey you two, what do I owe the honor? Did Ace finally change his mind about the haki situation?” Rayleigh joked and you just had to laugh too, never minding Eustass fucking Kidd sitting in front of you looking like a goddamn snack.

“I didn´t, sorry Rayleigh, but I think I´m good with just my devil fruit” Ace smiled shyly and scratched the back of his head.

“You know that´s what´s gonna get you killed someday?!” you groaned and shook my head.

“How´s the old man?” Rayleigh asked and you felt glum all of a sudden.

“Holding up. He´s not gonna kick the bucket so easily” how you wished those words were true.

You knew his health wasn´t good, but he never let it show, you didn´t know what you´d do when the time came.

“Have you seen Shanks lately? I´ve been wondering how he´s doing” Rayleigh asked further.

“Actually yeah, Ace and me visited him a few weeks ago. He´s good, real good actually. Is that today´s paper?” you gestured to the newspaper in Shakky´s hand and she handed it to you.

“What the hell? Why did they raise my bounty again? I didn´t even do anything...” you pouted but then you faced Ace.

“Ace! Luffy just declared war on the world government!”you exclaimed, what an absolute mad man.

“For fuck´s sake, Luffy!” Ace was always worried about his brother.

“It´s good that you´re here, (Y/N). This lovely man is a fan of good stories, I´m sure you don´t mind sharing.” Shakky knew all about your little crush on him.

You were sure your face was very red right now, thanks Shakky.

“Um...I don´t know if they´re good actually….I can retell the ones pops told me...uh...” you looked to Ace and Rayleigh for help, but Ace was too busy worrying over Luffy and Rayleigh was laughing.

“I´m sure you´re aware of this lovely man, as my wife worded it” Rayleigh teased.

“Yes, yes I am aware of this lovely man and yes he´s very lovely indeed! But I can´t think of any stories right now” you rambled and Kidd thought he just misheard something.

“(Y/N). You just called him lovely. In front of his face. Without even talking to him” Ace pointed out and you blushed even more.

This was too much for you.

“I know what I said Ace!” you yelled at him.

“Just make sure Luffy´s not getting into too much trouble, we don´t have time for that right now” you warned him.

“I know I know, you just get back to your lovely man” Ace snickered, he was so gonna get it later.

“Shut up, Ace!” you yelled again.

“We´re gonna leave you two alone, it was nice meeting you, Kidd” Shakky dragged Rayleigh and Ace with her to the back.

Amazing.

Kidd and you stared at each other way too long, you were getting dizzy.

“Hi, you know this is really awkward right now. I thought I was seeing you only tonight. Wait, that came out wrong. Tonight´s your concert, you know and I wanted to go. I´m a really big fan of you, your band´s my favorite. I love your music” you rambled again but at least it was the truth, no matter how embarrassing it was.

“Whoa, hold on a sec… you, vice captain of Whitebeard´s crew, know who I am? I´m a lucky bastard today….” Kidd mumbled, smiling to himself, making your heart beat faster.

“Not to be rude, but I think everyone knows you. Well, at least the bullshit they say about you in the newspaper” it felt so unreal, talking to him, but you never wanted this moment to end.

“How do you know it´s bullshit? You don´t even know me, what´s against it being real?” Kidd asked.

“Because the stuff you allegedly did is stupid. So stupid that only no names would do it. It´s stupid and without a plan, you have a crew so why would you ignore their well being and go up against strong people alone? It doesn´t make sense. But the lowlifes who attempt those stupid things don´t end up in newspapers. The government makes it so that only big names appear, scaring the people. They need their antagonists, we´re just perfect for that apparently” you explained.

Kidd smirked.

“You know, I never thought anybody cared about my music, about what I had to say, about me as a person. But today the person I admire told me I was a good man. The dark king himself, that´s the biggest compliment for me. And now you. The vice captain of the fucking Whitebeard pirates, the strongest and biggest crew there is right now, tells me she likes my music. And not only that, you tell me you believe in me. This is way too much for my small brain” Kidd laughed off his nervousness, but his heart was beating fast.

“I don´t think it´s small. You´re a tall man. Besides, I agree with your opinion on the world government. And someone who writes powerful songs like that can´t be an idiot. And that´s coming from a real idiot. And sorry for embarrassing myself, I never thought I´d ever meet you.” you told him honestly.

“Don´t worry about it, besides the only one embarrassing himself is me” Kidd chuckled.

Meanwhile Ace finally agreed to Rayleigh teaching him Haki and Shakky listened in on your conversation with Kidd, she thought it was cute how awkward you were.

Well, you didn´t think it was cute at all, you couldn´t even utter a single word without stuttering.

You went over thousands of things you could say right now in your mind and then thought if you really should say them or not and that resulted in the silence you two found yourselves in now.

Shakky sighed and sent Ace back to you to refrain things from getting more awkward, she really was your savior.

“We need to go, otherwise we won´t make it in time” Ace told you and grabbed your arm in urgency. He was right, if you talked more with Kidd, you´d miss his concert.

And you didn´t want that.

You sighed and stood up with a heavy heart.

“I know, I know… you´re right.” you answered, whining.

“It was nice talking to you, see you later” you cast a bright smile at Kidd who only responded in stutters and blushes.

Your trip to Fishman Island was the quickest you have ever done, everything seemed fine, the royal family was doing great too, so you could come back to the surface.

It was already sunset when you got back, so you ran all the way to the location, dragging Ace behind you, who didn´t have time to protest.

“I´m gonna wait at Shakky´s bar for you” he mumbled bitterly, he didn´t like the influence Kidd had on you.

“Alright, I´ll be back in a few hours!” you smiled brightly, hugging him shortly before running all the way to the location.

As soon as you arrived you could already hear the groupies and the band hasn´t even started yet.

You couldn´t shake off the huge smile that has plastered onto your face ever since you met Kidd earlier, and you also couldn´t stop your heart from racing, well you told yourself that it was because you ran so much.

The bar was damp from the fog coming out of the machines, the crowd started gathering in front of the stage, the screaming groupies making it impossible for everyone else to get a good place.

You settled for a place at the bar, it wasn´t the front row, but you preferred a good view without the groupies. You felt as if you were the only one who really cared about the music.

Not to be entitled, but you doubted the intentions of the front row.

When the show started, the front row threw their bras on stage and showed their tits, you just stayed to yourself and danced and sung your heart out.

You were really proud of yourself for knowing all the words, you didn´t think you would.

Not that you could blame the front row, Kidd was looking absolutely ravishing.

He was wearing a black tank top and had his hair down, you swore you could get pregnant by just looking at him.

Okay maybe that was a bit exaggerated, but you didn´t have time for dating or even one night stands with the amount of times you were gone.

And damn, did he look good with his hair down and did his arms look big, so muscular and the way he sung so deep, low and gruff.

It just made emotions and horniness in you arise.

Fuck´s sake were you glad that nobody could see the mess you were right now.

To be fair, it was really hot inside the bar right now. And not only because of the handsome lead singer.

You were out of breath after they finished. The groupies were waiting intently for the band to come out so that they might get lucky.

You didn´t know what to do, the immediate time after a concert always left you feeling empty and not knowing what to do.

It was weird, so you just stayed where you were, at the bar, looking and smiling like an idiot.

You didn´t know why you stayed, but soon enough the band did come out to meet the fans.

Usually this should have been your cue to leave as they just chose who to fuck this night, but not this time. Tonight Kidd smiled and waved when he saw you, coming over to you with the rest of the band.

You spent the rest of the night drinking with them and exchanging stories, you complimented their way of playing their instruments, listened to them talk about the craziest tour stories.

It was so much fun and all the while you questioned why they even stuck around with you instead of fucking some groupies, but maybe you would find that out sooner than you´d like.

Guilty / Innocent - Cressida Hart

Taking a deep slug of the ale in her cup, Cressida shakes it as it finishes. Her cheeks are flushed as her eyes lazily look to the one trying to ask her questions. “Alright, lay ‘em on me.”

Asked someone to marry you? “Are you kidding me? I prefer my current life style of drifting to person right now to considering marrying anyone. You think I’m going to ask anyone to sign a lifelong commitment to me right now? Pffft, no. If I did, it’d only be for monetary gain at the current and not for love. Ask me a little later and then we’ll talk about this again.

Kissed one of your friends? "What? You haven’t as an innocent child trying to mimic adults? Is it that ludicrous to do so? In short, yes, I have.”

Danced on a table in a bar / tavern? "I can neither confirm nor deny this statement.” She whispers lower. “You didn’t hear it from me, but I definitely have. Just not back home, not that dumb to do it with all the prissy, proper ladies there.”

Ever told a lie? “....Are you sure I’m telling the truth right now?” Silence. “I have, I will, but for the courtesy of your questions, I think I’m being rather sincere... maybe.”

Had feelings for someone you can’t have? “Ain’t this a fact of life! You know the nobles going around the Pillars? Yeah, I’ve had a heart flutter before for one of them while I was stuck down in the Brume. Gods knows where they are now.” She places a finger on her chin, thinking back before asking the barkeep for another drink.

Ever kissed someone of the same sex? “Really...? By Halone, these questions sound like a little kid with gael kitten eyes wanting to know questions. I don’t care if I’m kissing someone of the same or opposite. What matters is the passion in those eyes of yours. I don’t really have a preference for either. The ladies are best when I am seeking something softer and the gentleman when i seek something rougher.

Kissed a picture? “...Uh... no.”

Slept until 5pm? "Not willingly.” Cressida looks at her drink. “Definitely not willingly.”

Worked at a fast food chain / restaurant “I run a damn bakery and cafe. So, I sure as better hope I do.”

Stolen something? "Yes. It’s survival of the fittest. Would’ve died if I didn’t.”

Been fired from a job? "Too many times to count. But now i run my own business. So, do you really want me to fire myself?”

Done something you regret? Cressida just raises a brow. “Are you seriously asking this question? Everyone does, and I’m no different.”

Laughed until something you were drinking came out of your nose? “Considering I find a lot of shite funny, this happens more than you think. Though, I try to avoid to when drinking.” She held her nose. “Bloody hell, that buns with alcohol.”

Caught a snowflake on your tongue? "Born and raised in Ishgard - if I didn’t, there would clearly be something wrong with me. Then again, I’ve caught more than just snow on this tongue.”

Sat on a roof top? "Not as much as I used to. Having to fix the roof tiles is the only chance I get to go up anymore.” She gave a long drawn out look. “Oh, other roofs? Pffft, I still do when I’m bored as hell, but I make sure to keep my face covered.”

Kissed someone you shouldn’t have? “Gods yes. Worst decision ever with the one lass I was seeing years back. Ended up getting stalked for a while afterwards.”

Sang in the shower? “Only if I know I’m the only one in the house. Otherwise, I’m too fast of a bather to sing otherwise.”

Been pushed into a body of water with all your clothes on? “Yes. Several times in fact. Bonus points for the fact one time it was a white shirt with nothing on underneath. I’m sure that was a nice little piece of eye candy.”

Shaved your head? "When I was about nine and wanting to hang with the boys, yup, I did. Regretted it once the winter came though.”

Made a boyfriend / girlfriend cry? "When I broke up with one when I was younger and... due to some other things.”

Shot a gun? “I frequent the Skysteel Machinery monthly, if not weekly. Gods, I hunt with one so I hope I would have shot one.”

Still loved someone you shouldn’t? "Uh, what? Still loving someone I shouldn’t? Have you seen my dating life? That answer is a complete no.”

Have / had a tattoo? "They’re cool, I guess. But too much maintenance for me. I prefer scars over tattoos to be frank.”

Liked someone, but will never tell who? "This is like that other question about having a feeling for someone that but can’t obtain. Gag me. I’ve liked people, but I’m never quiet about it. You think I’m going to give people a chance to tease me about it once they find out? Hells no.”

Been too honest? "In a blunt sense, probably. My employee is worse than me, but hey, I guess that is what keeps us on friendly terms. Unless I feel losing a connection, yeah, I’ll be brutally honest to your face.”

Ruined a surprise? "Hell, I am the surprise. Enough said.”

Been told that you’re beautiful by someone who totally meant what they said? “Mmm... only by relatives. Anyone non-related, not that I am aware. Considering you said that they meant it... yeah, pretty sure the people I bed don’t actually mean it and just want to sound fluffy and cute during sex.”

Stalked someone? “Are we talking about one as in a crush? If so, yes. I told you already about those nobles in the Pillars. I was young, but I probably looked like a messy creep.” She hummed to herself. “But if you meant stalking in the way of ‘I’m going to follow you and then shank you in the back or kidnap you’ kind of stalking, nope. I’m glad to say I am not.”

Thought about murder? "Yes.” Long pause. “Who’s to say I haven’t done it?” Another pause. “I’m a bitch, but not that much, so I’ve never acted on it willingly.” Pause again. “What?” Cressida just intensely stares. “The only times been in self defense, I swear on it.”

How about mass murder? “That’s just wrong. I have neither the capabilities nor the people power to do it. Plus, who’d clean up that carnage...? Not worth it honestly.”

Cheated on someone? "....Not recently....” She purses her lips. “LI might be rather fluid going to person to person, but the one time I cheated on someone during my teens left a bad taste in my mouth, and also the reasons for making one of them... well.. cry. There’s a reason most of my ‘romantic’ relationships are only skin deep for the current. Much easier to distance yourself and just leave if needed.”

Gotten so angry that you cried? "I get angry, but not to the point of crying. It’s a form of weakness. Growing up in the Brume, you learn quickly crying is the last thing you want to do even if you are pissed off at the world.”

Tried to stay away from someone for their own good? "Ahahaha... no. If anything I’ll keep trying to run after them even if I seem like a crazed maniac.” She grins from ear to ear while taking another drink.

Thoughts about suicide? "Such a dreary topic, but no. For some it’s a way out, I understand. But for me, I can’t think about off myself yet. I have too much I need and want to accomplish.”

Had a girlfriend / boyfriend? "Multiple have come and gone. Currently, none for now or, well, if you consider small flings, which I don’t.”

Gotten totally drunk during a holiday? "Who doesn’t? Of course I do. Starlight is one of the best times, too! Plus the booze makes a great gift.”

Thank you @mai-takeda for tagging me!

Tagging @windup-dragoon @sharlayanwanderer @treexsong @glorysworn and anyone else who feels like doing this prompt. :D Not exactly sure who has or hasn’t done it!

#on thin ice #cressida hart #good lord #she has no shame #this was extremely fun to sit and think on. :D

“Family Ties” Kim Taehyung (M) Mafia AU Series Part 3 -

SMUT/ANGST

-This sneak peak is just full on teasing/sexual tension and implied smut...hopefully the full thing will be up early March, Pretty much all the boys are in the full thing a little!

AU SUMMARY : A powerful alliance made up of of 4 families spanning over a decade, is suddenly turned on its head when one family has a new leader after an unexpected death. Well let’s just say he’s not down to follow the somewhat civilized rules your families have inforced. Sooo now, it’s game on…

”Guys we need to start heading out, the tides getting high!”The crew members voice echoed through the crowd, causing you all to slowly follow his directions to load ship. Gazing up at the sky you realized how gloomy it was getting, again it appears mother nature's dropping hints, yeah this little dinner meeting thingy was going to be a hot ass mess! Honestly you’ve had a bad feeling about it since your father brought it up last night. With your luck you’d end up stuck on the island until this storm that was approaching passes. You’d be damned if that happened though, ready to call for a helicopter in the blink of an eye before you spent the night in the same house with damn near 40 mafia members. The idea alone just gave you a fucking migraine, actually, maybe you need a vacation! Vegas doesn't sound too bad, and you already had a boy toy down there anyway.Jungkook, he managed one of the strip clubs your family owns as well as it’s used to wash some of there proceedings.He’d be a damn good distraction from, well shit EVERYTHING! The ferry ride over was..chill I guess you just decided it would be better to keep your distance, sitting at the bar with Jimin and Joon. That didin’t last though though...you couldn’t help but notice his eyes casually darting over in your direction here and there, you'd be lying if you said you didn't do the same. As he sat on the opposite side of the bar parallel from you. You could already tell what he wanted ..a man who could say so much without saying a word. Drinking you in piece by piece as he bit into his plum bottom lip….with a smirk, almost like he could sense your arousal from across the room. Knowing damn well the effect he had on your body, he could have you soaking through your panties without even touching you.

You weren't necessarily eye fucking him back per say..you just didn't turn away from him…You didint want too...

Tae 1:40PM: Why the fuck are you sitting all the way over there? Can you just snap out of whatever funk your in? Or just let me fuck all the attitude out of you?

It literally felt like someone lit a match in your stomach, as you read that! For one...fuck him for even having the audacity to come at you like that. And fuck you for wanting too, god you wanted too. You always found his arrogance sexy, the bluntness of his delivery had you rubbing your thighs together. It’s crazy that he’s already over this morning’s argument so quickly whilst it still set heavy on your heart. But at the same time, it's practically your fault he feels like he can just get away with everything, in the past if you'd have issues..you wouldn't press him to talk it out. The two of you would just avoid each other for a couple days..then he’d randomly pop up, typically around midnight.. With a bottle of some ridiculously expensive alcohol. You only thought with your pussy when it came to Kim Taehyung so naturally you’d get drawn in by how charming..and just naturally sexy this man was...his aura alone was almost enough to get you off at times. He’d tell you how much he’s missed fucking you, how no one else compares..how bad he wants to feel you come on his dick. Hands roaming your body effortlessly, he knows you well enough he could get you off in the dark, the minute he touched you, it was game over. He wasn't stopping all night..he’d damn near fuck you until your body went limp, then he’d slow down his pace, and edge you until you were begging him to let you come again. And that was that, whatever the situation was, it was never discussed again. Ya know, if where being honest here..the original agreement was touch and go...fuck and leave. Whatever happened in your beds after hours stayed there..well...until. ..it started to spill over into the daylight. He'd slip up and call you baby outside of sex, or he’d occasionally get touchy while out in about, it became more common for you two to spend the morning after together. As opposed to the way it was originally when one of you would just leave right after...you didn't mind, you actually kinda liked it. Until it became evident it was starting to fuck with him mentally which is why your in this current situation, once he started to catch himself slipping up he’d spazz out. The idea of letting someone in, you especially, more than just sexually scared the shit out of him whether he’d admit it or not and you knew it. You also respected it but in return he needed to respect your mental health and not play all these fucking games. If he wanted it to just be fuck and leave..cool..but KEEP IT LIKE THAT..not randomly wanting to spend the mornings together, while he’s calling you “His baby” or buying you shit..OR getting jealous if your out and someone tries to flirt with you because again it’s touch and go! Per YOUR rules Mr. Kim..

You typed out and back spaced about 3 different responses..his phone was open in front of him so you were sure he noticed how many times your text bubble popped up without sending a message. “Fuck it” The whisper meant for your ears only almost as if you were giving yourself a pep talk. .. Placing your Chanel boy bag on your shoulder, grabbing your phone while inhaling the last of your drink, sauntering in his direction. The sound of your heels clicking against the hardwood flooring, your energy always radiated throughout any atmosphere. That was one of Taehyung’s favorite things about you, it was damn near impossible to ignore you! When you walked into a room everyone noticed, you were well aware of the affect you had on people and your carried yourself accordingly. The pure look of arrogance that danced along his face as you swayed in his direction made you wanna fuck, and shank him all at the same time, and lord knows you always have a switchblade somewhere. Dusting your fingers through your hair, breaking up your curls ever so slightly, still not daring to break eye contact. He wanted you so fucking bad..eyes glued to the way your high waisted jeans clung to every curve of your body...Maybe you'd let him..maybe you’d just tease the fuck out of him...it was currently undecided. Walking up behind him, stroking his scalp with your nails, sliding your hand down to the nape of his neck taking a firm grip on his thick maine, before taking a seat next to him. Knowing how much he loved it...the feeling shot straight to his dick, as a slight growl left his lips. Turning his head to face you slightly as he also ran his fingers through his hair, which held a slightly messy wave after taking his hat of just moments prior. Leaning over so his lips brushed against your neck as he spoke, the rich scent of Dalmore hitting your nose “I knew it wouldn't take long…”his voice sat exceptional low,the biggest tease you’d ever met. You didn't even have to look over at him to know this mother fucker was smiling, he was just sooooo sure of himself! His hand roamed up your thigh, and a dramatic scoff left your lips as you rolled your eyes in response even though you refused to turn your head and look at him. “Fuck you..” your clap back was quick..and full sass, ghosting his lips over your skin before grazing the area beneath your ear with his teeth. While you tried your hardest to stifle the moan that was desperately trying to leave your lips. “Oh trust me I plan on it..” Grabbing your hand, snaking it under the bar top to palm him through his jeans..guiding you to feel how hard he was, and of course he had to make it move while it’s in your hand so you got the full affect. Out of habit you’d didn't retract even once he moved his hand, instead you palmed him slowly over his jeans. While this cocky motherfuker reclined in his seat, not even bothering to look discrete, a low rich moan left his lips. Thank god both of your parents were on the upper level of the ship, because there was nothing lowkey about what the two of you were doing. That’s also probably partially why you were so turned on, the idea of getting caught, was kinda sexyn“Fuckkk..” There was a underlayer of defeat laced within that moan and you hoped it went undetected, but you could tell by his reaction you failed miserably. As a deep rumble left his chest, you royally fucked up this time...You knew he'd wanna fuck you, and he’d be all over you, which was true. What you underestimated was how much you’d wanna fuck him, considering your father's a mob boss, you of all people should know better than to ever go into a mission ill prepared. Yet that’s exactly what you did..you didn't have you guard up and he snaked right in! Bringing his lips back to the side of your neck, the feeling of them ghosting over your skin alone gave you chills “What baby? “ Ya know he actually had the nerve to sound genuinely concerned!? Snaking his hand up your thigh, getting dangerously close to the area what depertally needed attention.

‘Tae…” It came out so breathy and a lot needier than you intended which only riled him up even more, as he hummed against the side of your neck. Sinking your nails into his clothed thigh while he hissed into your hair in response ,“What baby? What do you want...you want Tae you take you in the back, and ruin that pretty little pussy until you come all over my dick?” His hands moved over to your core, letting his index and middle finger tease up your slit though your jeans. “You want me to fill you up so you can sit in that meeting right next to your father, with my cum dripping out your pussy..is that what you want baby?” Fuck, you couldn't even think straight at this point nevertheless speak, your original intention was to toy with him a little...teach him a lesson. So it’s clear that he can't just fuck your problems away and the two of you needed to set clear guidelines moving forward, if you were still going to maintain a sexual relationship. But I guess this is what you get when your game plan is fueled by pettiness, now all you wanted was to have him bottomed out in your pussy. “Your so fuckin sexy, sitting here letting me toy with your pussy..not even caring that your daddy could pop up at anytime..” A growl left his lips he already sounds so fucked out your skin felt like it was on fire. “Hmm seems like you enjoy being my little slut, more than you like being daddy’s...little girl..huh?” All you could do was hum in response, damn near feeling light headed at this point. You didint know why that turned you on so much, or why he was already on 10! Maybe it was all you, maybe it was the 2 drinks he slammed since being on this ship, whatever it is..it was working for you! He was right though you really could give less than a damn about your dad, one of his men, the crew members no one. Nipping at your ear and you didn't even care to muffle your moans aymore, fuck it... “Such a good little slut for me, fuck, let me take care of you like I always do…” He knew exactly what buttons to push to get what he wants from you. Another careless whimper left your lips, this one louder than the last.. He took your lack of response as a response and technically he was right, you wanted him...patting your thigh gently as he got out of his chair. Heading towards a set of doors that Read “Employees only” not even glancing back to see if you were following because he knew you would!

So now what? Do you stick with your original plan or do you cave, and give your body what it desperately needs...I guess you should probably sort that out realll quick before you head back there! Your mind has to be made up before Taehyung gets his hands on you, no doubts no hesitation. That’s something the both of you can sniff out a mile away…because if your not in it 100%, it's game over..He’ll find your weekspot..and toy with it until you come...

Lemme know what ya think, also it's not profed because part 3 isn't done but it's close..it’s getting close..

SNEAK PEEK #2 AS PF 3/4 - HERE

PART 1

PART 2

UPDATE ON WHY PART 3 IS LATE - IE I wasn’t a fan of part 3 so I’m redoing it..I honestly don’t think part 2 lives up to part 1..which is why I edited it a little a week or so ago! Slowly getting back into my writing groove after my 3 year break..and I felt like part 3 was rushed.. And didn't like it!

Absolute Confusion #3

[One Piece]

Chapter #2 | Chapter #4

Absolute Confusion on AO3

Summary: It was hard enough understanding what drove Monkey.D. Luffy the first time, but the second time-now that’s absolute confusion. A slightly smarter Luffy has time traveled, let the confusion begin…

Please Read: Old fanfiction. Probably terrible.

XXxxxxXX

Chapter 03: The Taven

XXxxxxXX

"Haki…?" Shanks said looking at Luffy again.

The captain of the red-haired pirates still wasn't sure what to make of that revelation, and his thoughts concentrated solely on who could possibly be a carrier of such a rare power—

"Shanks…are you asleep with your eyes open?" Luffy asked leaning closer to Shanks and poking the older man in the cheek. He waited patiently for an answer. He knew Shanks wouldn't do that, not while there was beer present, but he had to ask because the sheer amount of time Shanks had not blinked was something an ordinary person would find difficult to do.

This new quieter Shanks was strange. Even when Luffy had met his friend after he had become King of the Pirates, he'd never seen his friend act like this. Maybe something was wrong, but what?

'Did something go wrong on their last adventure?' Luffy thought looking at Shanks.

"Hey, Cap'n," Ben said stepping forward to help Luffy.

Shanks blinked and turned around barely aware that he hadn't been paying attention. Ben pointed down and Shanks was immediately set his sights on a quiet Luffy looking thoughtful and worried.

"Are you thinking deep thoughts?" Luffy asked a serious tone coloring his voice, his posture different from usual.

Shanks shook his head, displacing the slightly tense atmosphere that had taken root. "Now, what's this about you being the King of the Pirates? Last time, I came you were still talking about being a pirate on my crew…what changed your mind anchor?

Luffy smiled his toothy grin. "You did. You kept saying I couldn't be pirate. So I'm going to prove you wrong, and find One Piece!"

Determination colored his words, and his conviction strong, as everyone in the Tavern was silenced. The leader of the Red-Haired Pirate was pleased, if not a little confused, as he tried to figure out what exactly he might have said to get such a strong reaction from Luffy.

"Shanks…you're better off giving up, what makes sense to Luffy means nothing to us." Ben offered, making his thoughts known to his friend as to how fruitless his quest to understand Luffy was. It wasn't the first time, the first mate had seen someone try and decipher the anchor, and it probably wouldn't be the last, but the fact of the matter was Luffy just didn't make sense.

Shanks shrugged, not really surprised. "I tried."

"Luffy, would you like more food?" Makino asked breaking into the conversation and handing the time traveler a plate full of food. "There's some leftover meat." She offered, and instantly Luffy dug into the food placed right in front of him without saying anything. In between bites, he thanked Makino for the food.

Makino smiled. "I knew that would happen. Well, at least I don't have to worry about any food going to waste while you're around, right Luffy?"

Luffy nodded; inhaling everything on the plate in a single bit, barely taking notice at his mouth stretching….of course just because he didn't notice didn't mean a certain captain and his crew didn't...

The silence from before had come back in force, and for a few seconds, the infamous crew of the Red-Haired Pirates was struck silent by the incredible sight in front of them. Luffy mouth was stretching, and finally, the mysterious whereabouts of the Devil Fruit were becoming clear. Shanksgaped a cross between anger, and concern, as he jumped up from his seat knowing full well where the missing devil fruit had gone.

The bar exploded in yells as everyone else finally caught to what Shanks was thinking.

"He couldn't have!" They yelled sitting up, letting several plates of food fall to the ground (Luffy glared at them for that. He could just imagine Sanji kicking them if they had done something like that in his presence).

"He apparently did!" Shanks yelled back, picking Luffy up from his seat and pushing him next to Lucky Roux. Luffy didn't struggle, and simply let himself be carried, as he tried to figure out was his friend was making such a big deal over.

So what if he gained his powers back? It was just something normal. He reached across the table and snatched some food from Lucky Roux's plate as well as the other plates at the table.

"Luffy did you eat this fruit?" Lucky asked quickly sketching a picture of the Devil Fruit for Luffy and showing the smaller pirate.

Luffy nodded. "Yes, I did." He said before returning to his food, uninterested to the various reactions from his favorite pirates.

Shanks, on the other hand, was freaking out and didn't see Luffy's nod but he did facepalm hearing Luffy's word of "Yes, I did", and immediately moved forward and placing Luffy on his lap and trying to figure how exactly he was going to explain to the small anchor what eating a Devil Fruit meant.

Luffy was thankfully done with his meal and glanced up at Shanks.

"Because of that cursed fruit, you wouldn't ever be able to swim for the rest of your life, if you fall into the sea you'll drown." Shanks' said waiting for the streams of tears to come, and he wasn't the only one – many of the members within Shanks crew looked ready to bolt at the first sign of tears – Ben himself sighed thinking how incredibly blunt, and tactless his captain was when it came to Luffy.

Seconds passed... and Luffy said nothing, nodding. He looked around, and to the immense surprise of the Red-Haired crew simply patted Shanks on the head before turning away. "I knew that already, Shanks...I've got to go now, my brother's waiting for me!" He said waving bye, and running out before anyone could say a word.

Shanks blinked and looked at Ben trying and failing to find words to describe how...strange it was that Luffy did not freaky about finding out the consequences of gaining the powers from the Devil Fruit.

Heck, just last week the little anchor had been working hard trying to learn to swim and yet today, he didn't make a fuss when he learned he'd never swim.

It was odd.

Ben scratched his head. "Hell if I know...Luffy's something else."

Market Place, Windmill Island

Finding Ace was far harder than Luffy had first anticipated as thirty-minutes into his search for his older brother. He checked in all of Ace's usual hiding spots including the Library, and the Market Square, as well as the little cliff near the forest yet he still couldn't find his brother. He had asked around and was surprised to learn that his brother had been in the town since yesterday-something that didn't make any sense to the Straw Hat Captain.

'Ace had said he had some errands to run...so then why...?' Luffy thought before something occurred to him. He hadn't check home yet.

Knowing his big brother, he probably had fallen asleep doing cleaning or something, and just wasn't aware he had left yet.

Luffy smiled knowing how true that was when he considered Ace's last two attempts to go grocery shopping. Luffy ran quickly, excited again to see his brother, even though he had seen him only a few hours ago. He sped up happily, and raced out of the town, heading to their house at the other end of the island. For as long as he could remember, he (and later Ace) had lived in that house at the edge of the island, and although he had never known, or asked why when he was younger. He knew why now.

Both he and Ace weren't supposed to be alive; Ace was still being hunted by the Marines, while he was a secret. Neither of them meant to live, but the fact they did mean their options for an honest living was non-existent...

He shook his head, letting the thoughts fall away.

In the distance, he could make out the outline of his house, and as he neared his home, he noticed the door open.

Someone was home.

XXXXXX

Southeastern Edge of Windmill Island, Forest

Meanwhile, Ace looked up to the sky as he sat in a tree branch high off the ground. He was about ten feet from the entrance of the Windmill Forest, and although it had been almost two hours since he had sat down, he still didn't feel like returning to town, or even going home. He'd fallen asleep once climbing up, and had fallen off hitting his head, waking up, but nothing, not even sleep seemed to distract him.

He glanced back in the direction of the village wondering what sort of mischief Luffy was getting up to. Knowing his little brother he was probably still off bothering Shanks' and his crew, asking excitedly for stories about their adventures. It was the sort of thing he imagined Luffy would do, and later when they sat down to dinner he was more than likely going to hear about from his younger brother.

He smiled faintly.

His brother was always full of joy (excluding the time when Garp showed up) and although Luffy didn't quite understand everything that went on around him, he was sensitive in a way other people weren't. Ace could faintly remember when he had first met his brother, he had ignored the other so fiercely and hated him so much that he set out to completely make the younger boy cry. Yet instead, he found himself Luffy's friend, and eventually his older brother after the accident.

Ace's eyes darken thinking about it.

It had been his fault what happened, and yet Luffy was the one to suffer –

CRACK.

Ace bolted up from his seat silently hiding behind some of the huge piles of leaves on his branch as he noticed a large imposing shadow pass near his spot. Down on the forest floor, a pair of scruffy men were arguing in loud voices, causing nearby birds to fly away. Even from his spot high above them, Ace could distantly smell the vile smell of alcohol from the two.

It was two drunken idiots that had stumbled into the forest, and Ace sighed moving out from his hiding spot. If he didn't do something soon, those two were going to end up as food. This forest was no place for the stupid, or weak. Ace moved silently, knowing that even if he did make noise, the two below him were too intoxicated to notice.

He crept closer about to make himself know when some of the words become clear.

"...stupid brat..." One of the men said taking a drink from his bottle. "He...fucking thought he could stop us."

The other man nodded. "...but we showed him...he was a pathetic bastard..."

Ace stopped in his tracks. Listening intently; hoping beyond hope that no one he knew had gotten hurt. He leaned against the tree, hiding in its shadow. If those idiots did anything to Luffy or Makino –

"..Mouthy brat kept saying it was his home... it's his own fucking fault for living out there in the middle of nowhere in a house full of grog..." The first said again.

Ace's blood ran cold.

There was only one house that contained alcohol, aside from Makino's Tavern. None of the other shops carried beer, and often when he was cleaning or when Garp came home there was always beer, stacked high on shelves all over the kitchen.

Red hot fury coursed through Ace. These assholes had crossed the line, they could get lost in the forest for all he cared. Ace moved away from the tree and stepped out into the light.

'Hold on Luffy.' He thought. 'I'm coming.'

XXXXX

East Edge of Windmill, Luffy's House

Feet turned into inches, and Luffy stepped into his house, and into the disaster zone. Along all the shelves, bottles of alcohol and beer were taken down and scattered everywhere, unlike the sight of clutter he knew to be in the kitchen every single alcoholic beverage was empty or missing. Luffy moved through the kitchen, confused. Did his grandpa make a surprise visit or something?

It was hard to tell –

There was noise coming from other rooms, and Luffy walked faster. It sounded nothing like Ace, or like his grumpy grandpa, it sounds like the Tavern when it was full of drunk people. Luffy neared the doorway of the kitchen and glanced around the corner. There before him were no less than ten men all causing a racket, and destroying his home. Chairs and sofas were a scatter and torn mess and all the books were thrown to the floor in a warp representation of a child's messy room.

Luffy's eyes narrowed as he took in the sight.

It was the mountain bandits from earlier!

Luffy gripped the wall that led into the Living Room and moved back keeping his arms gripping the wall tightly. Even at this point, his powers were shaky, and it wasn't like he'd be able to do anything too complicated. His arms were stretched as far as he could go in the hallway, and he waited for the precise moment that all the man were gathered together.

He knew once he attacked he'd be at a disadvantage, so he needed to knock as many of the men out as possible. He watched as the men were walking around in a drunken stupor, watching and waiting for the perfect moment. They were talking about nonsense things, that those other members of the group obviously understood, but that to Luffy seemed incomprehensible.

‘Now!’ Luffy thought throwing himself forward with the acceleration from sling shooting himself.

He slammed into the drunken bandits causing almost every single bandit to slam into the walls, many of whom were knocked unconscious by the impact. Unfortunately, several bandits got off with a few bruises or just having the wind knocked out of them. Six of them stood ready, while the leader looked on, more interested in his beer, rather than the state of his men.

Luffy got to his feet slowly, his limbs still throbbing slightly from the stress of using his new powers. The bandits surrounded Luffy, fists raised. He was still tired from using his Haki earlier, and his devil fruit powers were difficult to use. He needed to defeat them, but how?

They crowded around him, moved closer, fists raised. The man on his left was faster, nearly hitting Luffy as he slid under his fist, and kicked him hard. He didn't get up.

Five more to go…

Another two men on either side of him were drunk out of their minds, crashing into each other as Luffy moved out of their line of sight. Neither moved from the ground, as giant bruises formed on top of their heads.

Three left...

"You little bastard!" One of them yelled from behind Luffy.

Luffy slid, stretching out a foot, tripping the man, making him crash into a nearby wall and knocking himself out. Luffy looked around; the last of the bandits unsheathing their swords. Their stance was sloppy and held none of the grace or form that Zoro's had. Luckily, for Luffy, both were still feeling the effects of the beer, or it would be much harder to take them down with his new powers--

SLAM!

Every window in the house was thrown open as powerful gusts of wind beat against the house. Luffy shielded his face while latching on to a piece of furniture as the bandits were tossed around from wall to wall. The fallen forms of the knocked out man were shot of the house through the open door, cleaning the house of their filth, as the wind died down, just as suddenly as it came.

Luffy lowered his hands, his suspicions raised.

The only man who had the power to control the wind shouldn’t have been anywhere near Fuusha Island–

"LUFFY!" A frantic voice yelled interrupting his thoughts.

The door behind him slammed open once more and there in the doorway was his brother. He looked winded and was panting slightly. His clothes were ruffed, and covered in dirt – no doubt from falling asleep in mid-run – and yet, the look of pure worry on his older brother's face surprised the Straw Hat Captain.

He had only seen Ace with that expression twice.

Twenty Minutes Ago, the Tavern

About a mile away at the docks, a similar situation was repeating itself...

At half past ten, and the crew of the famous 'Red-Hair' Shanks was still partying away. Tray after tray of food was passed around; most of being eaten while some remained on their plates. Alcoholic drinks were long gone, forcing the crew to turn to more tame versions of ginger ale, and soda, moods unaffected by the absence of their favorite drink.

"Makino! Mayor!" A villager yelled coming into the Taven, the door hit the wall. "The bandits – they were sighted near Luffy's house! One of the neighbors saw Luffy enter a couple of minutes ago – I heard loud shouting, and racket coming from it!"

Silence, and then as one the pirate crew stood.

Off in the distance, the lights in the D. House were flickering, the door was wide open, and there was a mess everywhere.

Shanks stepped inside and prepared for the worse. Thankfully, nothing of what he was thinking of was happening as his eyes met that of a ruined Living Room, with two small boys sitting on a worn couch. Ace was wrapping bandages around Luffy's arms, where various scratches, cuts and dark bruises littered them. There was still a few bandits were lying in discarded piles around the room, and broken bottles and glass covered the floor but all in all Luffy’s house was still in one piece.

"Remove the bandits," Shanks said quietly, his voiced layered with an angry undertone, that not even Luffy couldn’t miss.

Silently, the pirate crew entered, throwing, and kicking the bandits out, piling them together, as they were tied up. Ben remained with his captain watching the D. brothers, while the others dragged off the mountain bandits.

Ace didn't look up once, and replaced the medical supplies, before he walked away presumably to clean up, leaving Luffy alone with the two men.

"Shanks!" Luffy said running toward him, smiling. Yet, even though he smiles all Shanks could see was the injuries.

"No," Shanks said interrupting him, stepping closer to his little friend to pick up one of Luffy's arms to expect the damage infected. "Did they do this?" He asked his voice like steel, cutting and without mercy.

Luffy yanked back his hand, stuffing his hands into his pockets. "Nope." He told him smiling brightly. "I was just using learning to use my gum-gum powers."

Shanks blinked. "WHAT?"

Glancing in, Monkey D. Dragon smiled faintly, his face going blank once more as he moved on...

"He's like you, Catalina."[1]

Dare To Dare (Newt/Thomas x Reader)

During a game of truth or dare, you have to decide whether to kiss Newt or Thomas. Hope you enjoy! Also - thank you for 100+ followers!

Your legs burned as you ran out of the Maze with two hours to spare, being greeted by the Second-in-Command like you always were. He stood alongside Minho, who had gotten out ten minutes before you, but you barely paid attention to any exact times as long as no one was stuck inside.

Besides, you had always had a bit of a crush on Newt.

The second you came up in the box, you noticed his handsome face and tall figure, his powerful assertiveness and sweet nature. You had grown to be fast friends with the boy a week after your up-coming.

He waved at you, a gesture which you returned and walked towards him, despite your lungs begging for relief and relaxation. Your joints were a bit sore, but you mustered up enough breath to start a conversation.

“How’s the bean?” You asked the blonde boy, referring to the newbie who was supposed to come up in the box with new supplies.

“He’s curious. More than they usually are.”

You gave him a pointed look. “He doesn’t have any memories, shank,” you rebuttled as you cracked a knucke.

“He told me he wants to be a runner,” he states.

Your body froze, and you raised an eyebrow. “A Runner? Who is this guy?”

“Well, you’re a Runner, aren’t you?” Newt joked, squatting down to meet your eye level. “Why did you want to be a Runner?” He ignored your question.

“I was too fast not to be,” you teased. “And it gets me away from you for the day.”

Newt’s brows furrowed, and you felt a miniscule amount of guilt. “I was kidding,” you muttered, sticking your tongue out and gently pushing past him.

“I know.” He limped up next to you as you walked.

“Anyway, does he remember his name?” You reverted the attention to the Greenie.

“Not yet.”

“Hm,” you nodded, putting your hands on your knees as you gulped some air into your tired lungs.

“Map Room!” Minho called as he ran inside, elbowing you before he made his way in.

“Well, I’ll be seeing you tonight.”

You hummed in amusement, thinking of the bonfire - the days when you could finally catch some peace and entertainment. “So I will.”

“So you will.”

You rolled your eyes, opening the heavy Map Room door. “So I will,” you repeated, disappearing into the room.

You rushed through mapping your section, wondering about the Greenie and daydreaming about the Brit - nothing new, really. In a mere thirty minutes, you were showering and preparing yourself to party, but mostly, rest.

Stepping out of your hut with a fresh pair of clothes, you noticed the stacks of wood set up for the night. The sight comforted you.

Your eyes felt inclined to search for the bean, which you quickly saw sitting by a log. You thought about Newt’s words: He wants to be a Runner. You started towards him.

“Hey, I’m Y/N,” you introduced, scootching to sit beside him. “Remember your name?”

He nods shyly and your eyes widen, not have heard it from anyone else, but they die down to their original size within seconds.

“It’s Thomas.”

You smiled. “Hi, Thomas. I heard some things about you.”

He looked perplexed, mentally urging you to continue.

“You want to be a Runner? How come? If I didn’t have to be, I shucking wouldn’t.”

He shifts, interested. “Wait, you’re one? What’s it like?” Thomas whispered, as if you’d walk away if he were too eager.

You hummed, thinking of all the sweating, bruising, heavy-breathing and anxiousness the Maze brought you almost every time you ran in it. Faking a smile, you told him, “It’s not all it’s cracked up to be. And it isn’t cracked up to be much.”

Thomas’s dark brown eyes pooled into yours, his hands fiddling with the hem of his shirt as he began to speak. “You can find a way out.”

You simpered again to give him, and maybe yourself, a dash of hope. Instead of answering him, you nodded slightly.

“Right?” He questioned, waiting for some sort of real response.

“Yep,” you said as convincingly as you could, but you knew the whole Maze as you knew it was mapped. If there was a way out, you would have found it by now. Changing the subject, you add, “How come you’re not partying? This is for you, y’know.”

“Not in the mood to do much celebrating,” he smiled, and you smiled back - Genuinely this time. “But it’s nice to have the least-vague conversation out of anyone.”

You laughed, patting him on the back as you stood up. “They’re real bastards, aren’t they?” A pause. “Well, if you want a drink or something, I can get you one.”

“You mean, alcohol?”

“Yep,” you shook your head yes.

“I- uh, I guess.”

As he leaned back on the log, you noticed how unsure he was, but knew that sometimes having a bit of alcohol in your system was enough to calm any biting nerves. It would surely work for him— a Greenie. “I’ll be right back,” you called as you went off to fill some mason jars with the drink. But, too bad it tastes like dirt.

“How’s the Greenie?” You heard from behind you, a British accent laced in each syllable - Newt.

“It’s Thomas,” you corrected, barely knowing why. “I’m getting him a drink,” you explained, and he nodded with an amused look on his face.

“You plan on getting buzzed?” He laughed, and you poked him in the side.

“No, and don’t remind me of when I did,” you rolled your eyes, memory going back to the game of Truth or Dare you stupidly asked the Gladers to play, which resulted in you having to sit on Alby’s lap for the remainder of the game and taking off an article of your clothing.

Sober-you wouldn’t have pulled an act like that, but the intoxicated Y/N didn’t have two cares in the world. Anyway, you only pulled of your jacket— the stupid slintheads.

Newt chuckled, plopping his hand on your shoulder. “An entertaining night,” he says, before bidding you an ’I’ll be seeing you.’ Shaking your head, you brought the jar of liquid back to Thomas.

Plopping down next to the boy, you put the drink in his hands.

His eyes traveled down to the recipe and back up to you with a challenging look. You nodded urgingly with a wide grin, pushing the jar up to his lips. He whined as the alcohol hit his tongue, making you lower the drink from his mouth.

“What is that?” He coughed.

You shook your shoulders. “Gally made it.”

“So, poision?”

A giggle escaped. “It’s possible.”

Your name being called drew your attention away from the charming boy.

“Y/N!” They called again, forcing you to stand. “Shank! Slinthead! Klunkface!”

“What?” You jokingly seethed at Minho who was shouting for you.

“I need you in the map room. Don’t ask questions!”

You sighed, leaning down to pat Thomas’s shoulder. “Well, I’ll see you. Work calls.”

He smiled, and for a second you didn’t want to leave.

“See you,” he bid, and you did your best poker face as you ran to the Map Room.

Minho was waiting for you, arms crossed and papers balled up in his hands. “Not your best, moron. Nothing you wrote makes any sense.”

You snatched the paper from his hands, uncrinkling it and reading over the mindless doodles and random arrows. He was right. What was this?

“I’ll get to mapping, then,” you whispered, but Minho shook his head.

“Just run the section tomorrow - I’ve been there a hundred times anyway. Nothin’s changed, I know it.”

Your mind went to Thomas, how excited he seemed about finding a way out, when the Keeper of the Runners was as unenthusiastic as ever. He had reason to be; the Maze was the most complicated code— but it made a small lump form in your throat.

“Well, thanks,” you quietly responded. He slapped you on the back, smirking.

“Well, if you give some entertainment to these boring-as-klunk bonfire.”

You stopped next to him. “Boring? What’d you have in mind?” You sighed, throwing your arms up and letting them slap back down to your sides.

“Three words. I’ll enlighten you after. Anyway, let’s get a drink. I feel too sober.”

It was a rare occasion when Minho drank. “You’re always sober.”

“I feel particularly too sober tonight,” he corrected, pulling you along.

Minho grabbed a pitcher and filled up his jar, along with a second one.

“So, you were planning on drinking,” Newt inquired from behind you.

“Not really. Should I?” You asked indifferently.

“Do whatever you want, love,” Newt shrugged, a smirk on his face.

“Ugh,” you groaned, reaching for the drink and taking three large gulps before the repulsiveness made you cough. He smiled against your shoulder as you shook from the taste.

“Mistake,” you mumbled, whacking Minho on the chest, hoping the night would put you at ease rather than hung-up.

“So, do you wanna play truth or dare?” Minho joked wink sent your way.

“Yeah, righ-”

“We’re playing truth or dare! We have to!” A Glader named Dave yelled, catching the attention of everyone at the bonfire. Your hands slapped your face, a huff leaving your lips as the others cheered in agreement.

Sorry, Minho mouthed, but he didn’t seem it in the slightest.

You looked at Newt and he gave you a semi-comforting expression. “Won’t be so bad,” he said. “Might end up with a few half-naked Gladers is all.”

“As long as I’m not one of them, that’s fine,” you laughed along with Newt.

The game started with the typical Gladers asking for truth’s and no one knew what to ask, and the daring Gladers doing idiotic acts as dares. Minho had to eat some dirt, while Gally had to get spanked by Jeff and Clint.

It was a relatively tame game for the Gladers.

When it came to be your turn, you asked for a dare, which Zart was giving. He could often read you, but you figured he’d be civil because of his kindness and the friendship you two had.

Zart chuckled, pointing at you. “I dare you to kiss Newt.”

The others whooped. You let out a breath, planting your eyes on the grassy ground. Could this game get any more awkward? You looked at Newt, whose cheeks were dusted with rosiness and a small smile was on his face.

“Or,” Zart continued with a widespread grin, catching your attention, and the rest of the Gladers— everyone became quiet. “—kiss Thomas.”

Your stomach dropped at the fact there was an option that you had to chose.

There was always a way to get around choosing who you favored as a friend and who you favored a bit more, but now you had to face the wonderment head-on and without preparation.

Your eyes looked over to Newt first, who’s bottom lip was entangled between his teeth. He was anxiously raising his eyebrows, a blush forming on his face.

Then you looked at Thomas, who looked more calm and curious than Newt. His posture was relaxed, except for his hands, in which his fingers were intertwined tightly, squeezing them together.

You had no idea what you were searching for in their faces. They both looked like deer caught in the headlights for all that mattered, but you studied the expressions and photographed each of the two boy’s faces in your mind. They were both handsome, and you cared for them both, but deciding who to kiss was conflicting.

Clenching and unclenching your fist, you made a mental note in your mind. You chewed on your lip as you moved towards… Newt Thomas
