:)

Now my main grounding for this theory came from a day when I was setting on his left I was showing him something and instead of glancing like he did when I was sitting on his right he turned his full head towards me to see it, I found it strange because he only did that when I was on his left, which wasn't often Doflamingo constantly kept me on his right side even the side of the bed I slept on was the right, the more I thought about it more times that he chose to wear glasses when any other normal person wouldn't start to add up, like the fact he was always wearing his glasses when I woke up even though he was still in bed, I was staring to think he woke up earlier then me just to put them on before I woke up, not to mention the fact he only ever went to bed after me and would be wearing those glasses till I fell asleep

Despite my interest in way he wear the glasses and way he wouldn't take them off in front of me I still hadn't built up the courage to ask him about it, sure I loved the man but I would be blind to not see how closed off he could be and the lengths he would go to keep certain things secret, still the thought haunted me so I decided to finally ask

We were sitting in bed and like usual Doflamingo was still wearing his stupid glasses, I didn't actually thank the were stupid but the fact it felt like he didn't trust me enough to take them off was starting to get to me, I looked over at Doflamingo as he read the book he bought when we went into town today, he offered to read it out loud earlier so we could both enjoy it but it was much to violent for my taste especially before bed, after thinking for a bit I decided to break the quiet with an easier question then the one on my mind "how's your book Doffy?"

Doflamingo looked up from his book turning his gaze to me saying with a wide smile on his face "it's great sweetheart, you real should read it" I shook my head smiling back at him as I said "it is much to violent for me" He chuckled at me but he had that look on his face that he knew I was dancing around what I actually wanted to ask, Doffy some how always was able to read me so well no matter what we were doing, he placed his book down leaning closer to me, I felt my blood pressure spike as Doflamingo got closer to me, he smiled became sharper like he knew what I wanted to ask and was daring me to ask it already, Doflamingo leaned so close I could feel his breath on my face as I stared into his glasses, he said quietly "come on ask" even with it being quiet I could hear the teasing in it, like a cat that just caught a bird, and I was the bird

I sat on the bed nervously I wanted to lean away a little but I knew with Doffy I wouldn't get far, if Doflamingo decided he wanted you near him you weren't getting away and I knew that so I gathered up the courage and asked "why do you never take your glasses off near me" He chuckled leaning in a bit closer but not saying anything so I decided to continue "I mean we've been dating for a long time and I've never seen your eyes" Doflamingo just looked at me letting the silence fall over us as he examined me, after a second he brought his hand up and for a second I really thought I asked the wrong thing that this was it but he brought his hands up to his glasses and slipped them off saying softly "I guess you right you haven't seen my eyes"

I looked at his eyes shocked, I took in his left eye that was frost over, and after getting over my shock I sat up more saying loudly "I knew it!" He chuckled tilting he's head as he said "you knew it?" I said "I was theorizing that you couldn't see out of your left eye" He leaned in closer say "and why were you theorizing that?" I responded quickly "because when ever I'm on your left side you turn your whole head to look at me instead of just glancing like when I'm on you'd right side" He wrapped his arms around me saying "aw you pay that much attention to me?" Even though he said it in a way that made it sound like he was mocking me I knew he wasn't, I knew Doflamingo actually enjoyed how much attention I gave him, a man like him thrived on attention he loved being as loud and big as possible, but he loved that I payed attention to him in those quiet moments too, even if he mocked me for it we both knew the truth that he loved it way more then he ever would let on, I smiled putting a hand on his face and said "of course I do you know you're my favorite person in the world" I kissed him on the cheek softly and I could feel him smiling as he said "You're my favorite person too sweetheart"

Mihawk was sitting in his red cushioned chair sipping on his beautifully aged red wine, Yoru like usual was resting at his side, I sat at the chair next to him sipping my tea but I couldn't help my eyes drifting to Yoru, the blade of the sword and its hilt were as beautiful and elegant as the man who wielded it, Mihawk didn't seem to care about my staring as he flipped another page in his book, I got up from my chair making my way over to his, it wasn't surprising I often move to sit on the arm of his chair to be closer to him, but unlike usual instead of parching on the arm of his chair I got close to Yoru and brought my hand up to touch the ornate details on Yoru's cross gaurd

Mihawk looked away from his book for a slight second to look at me out of the corner of his eye, he very quickly decided there was no problem with my hands touching Yoru and went back to enjoying his book, if it was anyone else they wouldn't have even gotten close enough to touch the sword but Mihawk viewed his spouse differently from everyone else

I continued taking in the details of the blade from the jewels in it to the carvings, the sword was beautiful, I always thought that but most of the time it was strapped to my husband's back and I didn't get to properly admire it, when he wasn't caring it I really got to take in how big Yoru is, the sword was giant even compared to the 6'6 man that carries it, still despite that I made the dumb decision of trying to pick up the over seven foot tall sword, as if sensing my dumb decision coming Mihawk set down his wine glass, I decided to pull Yoru to not be leaning against Mihawk's chair before trying to pick it up, I immediately regretted this decision when I realized how absolutely heavy the sword was, thankfully before I was crushed by his giant sword Mihawk grabbed on the the cross gaurd pulling the sword back to its leaning position saying calmly "Careful she's heavy"

I chuckled light heartedly saying "I realized that" I looked at the sword amazed before turning my gaze to the swordsman with the same amazement, I asked curiously "how do you carry Yoru around so easily?" He hummed saying "Training and practice" Mihawk picked his wine glass back up sipping on the red wine instead before saying "with enough training you could pick her up to" He looked over at me before adding "but I doubt you have any true interest in that" I smiled saying "Yeah I just think she's pretty" He smiled as well before turning his gaze back to his book saying "well feel free to touch and look at her as much as you want, though do try not to get crushed under her" I giggled saying "I won't"

I have been working for the Vinsmokes for a while and in that time I had come to realize that they didn't really get birthdays, I mean they got celebrations but it wasn't for them as a person, it was more like telling a tool they have done good this year, it made me feel bad for them, so I decided to try even a little to give them a glimpse of what a normal birthday is like

Reiju

Reiju was the only Vinsmoke child that got a birthday to themselves which also meant her birthday was much less large then Ichiji, Niji, and Yonji's, not that she seemed to care she knew the weren't real celebrations anyways so she didn't care how big hers was, I hated seeing no one truly celebrated her especially with how nice she always was to me, even her younger brothers didn't spare her a real congratulations, the only one that would had long since left the cold walls the Vinsmokes live in, so I decided to take it upon myself to give Reiju the birthday she deserves, I knocked on her door the best I could holding the cake I made for her, and two plates as well as silverware, Reiju opened here door she smiled when she saw me saying my name before asking kindly "what are you doing here?" I held the cake up saying "I wanted to celebrate your birthday with you" She looked at the cake taking it from me and stepping aside so I could come in, she asked "you made this for me?" It definitely wasn't the best cake in the world, it was uneven and the frosting was definitely not the smoothest, the pink frosting came out pretty okay but the purple frosting hardly even looked purple it was much to gray, I smiled at her embarrassed saying "Yeah although it definitely isn't the best cake in the world" she smiled at me saying "it's perfect" she shut the door before walking over and placing the cake down on the table in her room, I quickly pulled out some candles placing them in the cake, I pulled out a chair for her to sit down, she sat down, I pushed the chair in before pulling out a lighter to light the candles after I lighted them I started singing happy birthday to her, she rested her head on one of her hands looking at me happily as I sang to her, after I finished I said "okay make a wish" she smiled leaning in and blew out her candles, after she started taking out the candles, she grabbed a knife and the two plates I brought with me and started cutting up the cake as she spoke "this was very sweet of you" she plated them before handing me one, she leaned in kissing my cheek softly, I felt my face heat up as I said "oh its really nothing" she said softly "no it's not, I really do appreciate this" I looked at her saying "well I appreciate you" I knew it definitely wasn't the best or most normal birthday in the world but it was better then nothing and I knew she was thankful for even the littlest amount of joy I tried to bring to her birthday

Ichiji

Ichiji definitely isn't the most friendly Vinsmoke in the world but despite his rough edges I've grown fond of him in the time I've been working in the castle and when him and his brothers birthday rolled around I decided to do something nice for the red brother, which is how I ended up here standing in front of his door nervously with a single cupcake the red frosting on it, it wasn't the best frosting in the world and all together it was definitely less impressive then the giant cake him and his brothers had earlier but I had put effort in to it, I hoped he would enjoy it but I was still to scared to knock on his door, before I could even think about retreating the door opened reveling the eldest Vinsmoke brother, he leaned against the door frame crossing his arms as he asked "were you planing to stand out here all night or were you going to knock?" I said a little to quickly giving away how nervous I was "of course I was going to knock sir" He chuckled "sure you were" He stepped aside giving me room to enter the room saying "well don't stand out there all night" I slipped into the room before he shut the door behind me, he walked over to me asking "what's the cupcake for?" I turned to him holding it out as I said "It's for you sir, because it's your birthday" I smiled at him even though I was nervous about his reaction I knew Ichiji was a tough person to please, he huffed saying "I already had cake for that I don't need you're pathetic excuse of a cupcake" I chuckled even if there was no real joy behind it, I spoke saying "Yeah but I wanted to make you something to" He didn't look like he got it but he did still hold his hand out saying "Fine hand it here I'll eat you terrible looking cup cake" I pulled it away from him heading over to the table in his room saying "let me light the candle first" he followed me over to the table and sat down as I pulled out a lighter lighting the candle that was on the small cupcake, he said coldly "this is stupid" I just sh'd him as the candle caught fire after that I looked over at him and the cupcake in front of him and started sing happy birthday, he did not look impressed at all, after I finished he said "I didn't need your show tones" I chuckled this time there was joy behind it as I said "Yeah but you didn't stop me" He scoffed but did argue back, I said "okay blow out your candle and make a wish" Ichiji said "a wish? I'm not a child" I said quickly so the candle didn't melt to much "just do it" He reluctantly did, it definitely still wasn't the most normal birthday but it had more care put into it then most of his and that was all I could try for

Niji

Niji was a jerk everyone who dealt with him knew that, I knew that especially well seeing as the blue haired brother seemed to find it fun to mess with me, still here I was in the kitchen making cupcakes for him after what I wasn't even sure could be called a birthday party, I mean sure it was extravagant but it was more a show of power then love, my thoughts were intrupted by the oven beeping, I quickly pulled the cupcakes out of the oven and started working on the blue frosting, it didn't go the best sure I did get the cupcakes frosted but I also got it all over the counter and myself, I stuck a candle in one of the cupcakes before going to clean up, as I was cleaning up I heard a very familiar snicker from the doorway, I looked over to the doorway to find Niji leaning against the door frame, he spoke up saying "You're a mess" I felt my face heat up at being caught like this because he was right I was a mess right now, Niji walked over to me wiping some of the frosting off my face with his thumb, after he licked it off his thumb and hummed saying "not haft bad, although it's definitely not the best thing I've ever had" I huffed saying "well you better like it because I made it for you" He chuckled as he followed me over to the cupcakes, me asked teasingly "oh you made them for me?" I grabbed the cupcake with the candle on it holding it out to him saying "yes I made them for you, it is your birthday isn't it?" He smiled saying "it is but I can guarantee the cake the chefs made will be better then this poor excuse for a cupcake" he chuckled "I mean really you got the frosting everywhere" I huffed saying "either shut up and light the candle or ill go give it to Ichiji"

Niji scoffed but still did bring up to of his fingers around the candle, blue lightning shot out lighting the candle, I smiled before I started to sing happy birthday to him, Niji crossed his arms looking at me like I was stupid but still let me sing him the whole song, after I finished I held the cupcake out to him saying "okay make a wish before the candle burns to much" He uncrosssd his arms leaning into the cupcake saying "I wish you wouldn't be so in to these stupid celebrations" He blow out the candle before grabbing the cupcake, I scoffed hitting his arm lightly "hey you're not supposed to say your wish out loud" He took the candle out of the cupcake throwing it before saying "that's stupid you're supposed to make your wants known" I crossed my arms as he started eating the cupcake, sure he really didn't get it but at least he's trying

Sanji

Sanji's birthday, just like everyone else's on the crew was a event, a very loud, a very happy, very crazy event, and one sanji happily participated in, the cake sanji made just like every other birthday was perfect the best anyone would ever have, and we're not going to talk about the one luffy tried to make for him, it was a disaster, let's just say Sanji banished him from the kitchen quickly, but just like every celebration it eventually had to end, and end it did even after though Sanji couldn't help but smile as we walked back to his room because he knew the crew truly cared for him just like everyone on the baratie. Birthdays meant a lot to Sanji because he knew what it was like to have no one truly celebrated the fact that you're alive, he could still remember the pain of sitting in that cold cell on his birthday wanting anyone to care about him, he truly was grateful for how many people cared about him now, and all the effort the put in to make sure he knew how much they cared about him

After his birthday party was over and we slipped further and further into the night I found myself laying on Sanji's chest, it wasn't uncommon for me to spend my nights laying on the blondes chest and he was always very happy about it but tonight I found him quieter then usual, it was so quiet in fact the only noises that could be heard was the waves crashing against the sunny outside, I looked up at the man with curly eyebrows from where my head laid on his chest, I said softly "Are you okay Sanji?" He looked down at me gently patting my back as he said "I'm okay beautiful" I decided to pry a little more asking "What are you thinking about?" He hummed softly before saying "My childhood" I stayed quiet waiting to see if he would elaborate anymore, I felt him use his nails to gently scratch my back, at the feeling I couldn't help but remember a few days ago when me, Nami, and Robin painted his nails, I smiled softly at the memory as he reached over to the bedside table grabbing his cigarettes and lighter, he slipped a cigarette into his mouth lighting it before setting the case and lighter back on the bedside table, Sanji inhaled deeply before exhaling the smoke, he looked up at the ceiling before saying quietly "when I was young I thought I was going to die in that cell, I never thought..." he trailed off taking another puff of his cigarette, after another bit of silence he spoke again saying "I never thought I'd have people who care for me as much as the crew and everyone on the baratie does, I never thought I'd get to have someone like you" He looked down at me bringing his hand up from my back to my head gently scratching it, I watched him as he smoked, he spoke up again saying "we never had birthdays when I was younger father said we hadn't done anything to earn a celebration, mom still always celebrated anyways at least...." he went quite I knew why, I knew how much his mom's death hurt him especially in a family were she was the only one who truly showed him love

I sat up moving to sit on his chest, right after he took another hit of his cigarette I grabbed it leaning over to stub it out in the ashtray on the bedside table, I looked down at him saying softly "I would love to celebrate your birthday with you for the rest of our lives" He smiled at me as I leaned down kissing him as we were kissing he exhaled the smoke that was in his lungs into my mouth, I breathed it in before pulling back from the kiss and blowing the smoke into his face, Sanji smiled up at me saying "You're so beautiful" I chuckled leaning down to pepper his face in kisses saying "No you're so beautiful" between the kisses I said "You're the best Sanji, you're the sweetest, and you're a great cook" Sanji smiled happily he clearly was eating up all the compliments I was giving him, I knew nothing I did would truly heal the pain of his childhood but I would do whatever I could to soothe it even just a little

Yonji

In the morning before you even get up Mihawk is out of bed making breakfast with the most precision you've ever seen from a man, most of the time it's done before you even open your eyes, honestly most of the time it's already in your shared room on a tray, Mihawk places it on the bed gently before waking you up and every morning you offer the same thought "Mihawk I could have helped with breakfast"

Mihawk smiled slightly at you saying in a warmer tone then most would ever hear from him "there was no need dear I'm perfectly capable of making breakfast"

That's how most of you're life with Mihawk went even now that you're married, he was so self sufficient that even with the extra person in his home he just did everything, he didn't seem to find a reason to get you to do something he was already going to do it himself if you weren't there, now even if getting pampered by the world's greatest swordsman was great at first the longer you where married the more you felt you should be helping and the more you realize just how much Mihawk does, so you divised a plan to do something for him

You were planning to get up earlier then him a cook breakfast for once, you thought it couldn't be that hard to get up earlier then him and were quickly proven wrong when you're morning started like all of them, Mihawk bring you breakfast in bed and gentle waking you up, Mihawk smiled gently at you saying "I brought you our favorite"

You yawned stretching before setting up and looking down at the tray in front of you thinking 'damn it I thought I could wake up early then him' you plan to cook breakfast for him was quickly crushed that morning so you moved on to plan B helping around the house, after a very enjoyable breakfast with Mihawk you tried to wash the dishes for him, hint the word tried because Mihawk had taken the dirty dishes from you before you even got out of bed quickly heading to the kitchen and washing them, this went on all day anytime you thought of something to help Mihawk was already there doing it

Mihawk had the house in such efficiency that if he didn't ask you to help or go out of his way to give you an opportunity to you couldn't find anything to do, which was the exact problem you were struggling with all day, sure it was sweet Mihawk like to handle stuff for you but as more time passed living with him the more like a burden you were feeling, he did everything and you couldn't even wake up to make him breakfast, it was hard not to feel inferior to someone as put together and disciplined as Mihawk, it was starting to make you feel like a burden in your marriage even if Mihawk would never call you that

The sun was setting on a day just like any other one were you where unable to do anything helpful for Mihawk, even now as you two wind down in the evening instead of relaxing Mihawk was reading to you as he sipped his wine

You sighed as your head laid on his lap today was one big failure and it left you feeling like an even bigger failure of a spouse, Mihawk looked down at you before sitting his wine glass down asking softly "is something wrong darling? If the story is not to your liking we can find a new one" you shook your head saying "No no the story is not the problem" he hum asking "then what is the problem?" Mihawk was always so much more caring then people gave him credit for, at least with you he was, you muttered softly "I just don't feel useful to you, I do nothing for you"

Mihawk just said with the certainty of a man who knew he was right "you do plenty for me" you huffed looking up at him at him saying "I do nothing, you cook, you clean, you garden, you do the laundry, I can't even get up earlier then you"

He put the book down patting your shoulder before stroking it gently saying "I like waking you up every morning" you sighed saying "stop acting like it's okay you know I'm not helpful in any way"

I had only found out luffy had a brother today when he saved us but at that time I had been to distracted running for my life to really look at him, but now with him crouched on the railing of our ship I could get a good look at him and I couldn't help but feel my face heat up as I quickly recognized him

Two weeks ago when me and Nami were shopping at a town we stopped in for a bit, we were walking from one store to another when I turned my gaze to a wall as we pasted it, on the wall was a picture of a beautiful freckled man with dark hair and sun kissed skin I stopped saying just loud enough for Nami to hear "Damn he's hot" she stop looking over at what I was looking at and on the wall was a wanted poster for Portgas D Ace, at the time I had no clue he was related to my idiot of a captain, but now that I did I was even more embarrassed that I found him attractive, and the fact that now that I'm seeing him in person I couldn't help but think 'he's hotter in person'

After Ace saved us a second time we found out he was traveling the same way as us which meant we had acquired one Portgas D Ace till we reached Yuba, as we sat down eating and having a good time I found my gaze lingering on Ace, as I was looking at him I felt like someone was watching me, I looked to my side to find Nami giving me a very knowing look, I felt my face heat up as I quickly looked back down at my food practically shoving it in my mouth to distract myself, as I was doing that I heard boots hitting against the deck of the Going Merry, I heard Aces voice say softly "Hey" He plopped down next to me as he said my name after the fact turning to me smiling as he said "right?" I nodded looking at the freckled man next to me, he looked at me for a second before leaning in and saying gently even if it was in a teasing tone "you were staring" Ace meant it in a light hearted teasing way, the staring really didn't bother him but he thought it would be a fun way to open up the conversation, to bad instead of me getting a good laugh out of it I got embarrassed looking away from him as fast as I could muttering "sorry I didn't mean to"

Ace immediately realized that that didn't land how he wanted, he chuckled trying to lighten the mood as he said "It's fine no bother to me, it's a compliment having someone beautiful stare at you" I don't think my face could get any hotter if it tried because the cute guy I definitely shouldn't crush on just called me beautiful, I couldn't help but think 'traveling the desert with him is going to be bad'

I was right it was bad, not because he was rude or mean, no it was actually quite the opposite, it was bad because he was so nice and polite and some how really had a way to make me feel special which in turn made me like him more, the bad thing was in this short time I was falling for him and hard, and to be honest I wasn't sure if I could stop it

To night was a prime example of why I found it so hard not to fall for Ace, we were camping out for the night and to no ones surprise the desert got cold at night, it had me and quite a few other members of the crew huddled around a fire trying to stay warm, slowly but surely the crew went to sleep till I was one of the only ones awake, as I was sitting I heard the quickly becoming familiar sound of Aces boots against the sand, he sat down next to me looking at me before asking softly "you cold?"

I nodded at him saying "Yeah a bit, but at least you're still hot" I felt my face heat up as I quickly realized he might not take that to mean the temperature, I quickly add "I mean like temperature wise not like, I meant you still seem warm" I looked away from him embarrassed, he just chuckled gently nudging me with his elbow saying "I got what you meant no need to be embarrassed" I felt the warmth from him when he elbowed me he really was warm, I looked over to him feeling less embarrassed now that I knew he didn't take it the wrong way, he smiled at me before saying playfully "I am hot though" I just huffed looking way from him he was such a goof and I couldn't help but love it

A comfortable silence fell over us as I kept trying to stay warm, I felt a gentle breeze listening to the sounds of the desert as I tried to not focus to much on the man next to me or the waves of warmth coming off of him, I couldn't help but think how nice and tosty it would be to cuddle up to him, after a while of sitting there Ace looked back over to me saying "you know I'm pretty warm if you're still cold I could hold you" I looked over at him considering the pros and cons, pros I get to be warm and cuddle with a cute guy, cons he's my captains brother, I well probably end up falling for him more, and even if he ended up liking me back which he probably won't he's not part of the crew so he won't be staying with us for long, still knowing the cons I nodded saying "Yeah that would be nice"

I finally really got to understand Sabos double standard when me and Koala were out, we had some free time so we decided to do something you didn't get to go do often when you're a revolutionary, shopping, as we were shopping Koala and me spotted something we thought Sabo would enjoy, now Koala wanting to be a good friend decided to call him and see if he wanted it, which is how we ended up here with her annoyed after trying to call Sabo four separate times

Koala scoffed saying "why can't he just answer his snail its so annoying" I chuckled before saying "I could try calling him" she looked at me saying "sure but he's probably going to ignore your calls too" I pulled out my snail calling Sabo and in one ring he answered saying my name before continuing "Do you need something?" Koala was looking at me like she just watched hell freeze over, I smiled at Sabo's voice saying "oh I don't need anything but Koala saw something she thought you'd like and wanted to know if you wanted it" I handed the snail over to Koala

Koala took the snail from me saying "Sabo I called you four times and you didn't answer" He said "Well I must have not heard it" he chuckled in a way that everyone knew he was laying, Koala said "sure you didn't" Koala started asking Sabo about the thing she thought he would like, but even as she was doing that she was still looking at me like she couldn't believe he answered, after she finished up getting his opinion she decided to get him it, Koala expected him to hang up before she could even say by but he didn't he said bye and waited for her to hand the snail to me

Koala handed the snail to me before saying "I'm going to go buy that real quick" she went into the store leaving me outside as I talked to Sabo

I smiled saying "you going to hang up Sabo?" I could practically hear the smile in his face as he said "are you going to hang up darling?" This is how it usually went when I was on the phone with Sabo which is why I didn't get when people said he just hangs up, Sabo has never hung up on me he always stayed on the phone till I hung up, I asked "Sabo why do you never hang up on me?" He chuckled saying softly "because I value everything you say so why would I hang up on you" I giggled Sabo always had a why of being so sweet I wasn't even sure if he was aware of it, I said happily "that's adorable Sabo" He responded "You're adorable" as me and Sabo went back and forth Koala came out of the store saying my name before asking "where to next?"

I looked at her saying "oh anyway is fine, let me say bye to Sabo real quick" she said shocked "he's still on the call?" I nodded before saying "goodbye Sabo" He said happily "goodbye darling" even after saying goodbye Sabo didn't hang up, I took a second before hang up knowing that if I didn't hang up Sabo never would, Koala looked at me asking "does Sabo never just randomly hang up on you? Does he always answers your calls?"

I nodded saying "Yeah I've never had Sabo hang up on me, honestly I don't get why you guys think he's so hard to get on a call I've never had trouble with it"

The moss head looked at me like I was crazy before saying.

"Curly brows really?"

I smacked his shoulder whisper yelling.

"Don't say it that loud"

Right now I was regretting my choice in crew member to confide in, all though knowing the rest of the crew they probably would have been louder, I got lost in thought thinking about which crew members would have been the best to go to with this (probably Robin) as I was thinking Zoro spoke up breaking my train of thought as he asked "so why are you telling me this?"

I looked at Zoro quickly gathering my thoughts again before saying "because you my fine friend" I point at him before continuing "are going to help me get my prince" Zoro blinked before pointing to himself saying "me? I'm going to help you get with the idiot chef?" I nodded happily before Zoro asked "why?"

My smile dropped as I crossed my arms irritated at the swordsman as I said "because even if you dont like to admit it you know Sanji probably better then anyone here" it was hes turn to cross his arms as he scoffed saying "No I don't" I argued "yes you do" He shot back again "no I dont"

I glared at him saying "Zoro" He glared back at me, we started at each other for a solid minute before he relented sighing as he said "Fine I'll help you"

I squealed clapping my hands together happily but before I could celebrate anymore Zoro said "but to make it clear I'm doing this for you so you're happy not for curly brows" I smiled teasingly saying "sure" He scoffed saying annoyed "hey I'm serious" I giggled "sure you are"

That's how me and Zoro became the only two members of 'project get with Sanji' now people might wonder what 'project get with Sanji' includes well right now it's just a lot of scheming, scheming was what we, mostly me, were doing most of the time now since our last few plans fell through, and our scheming right now just so happened to over lap with Zoros work out.

I was setting down chatting to Zoro about how to get Sanji to like me, Zoro didn't seem to interested in the conversation as he lifted weights, as I was talking I faltered off distracted by how impressed I was with how strong Zoro was and it definitely didn't hurt that he worked out shirtless, before I could get to distracted he spoke up saying "why are we even doing all this planing last I checked you're a woman"

I diverted my gaze from his muscles looking at his face as I leaned back crossing my arms as I said "and what about it?" He sighed like it was a dumb question "well Sanji is in love with all women you're no exception so just ask him out he'll be over the moon, probably get a nose bleed while he's at it" I scoffed "yeah he's like that with every woman which is why its not a good judge of if he actually like likes me"

Zoro looked at me as he sat down the weights he was using saying "like like? What are you a child"

I huffed saying loudly "oh shut up moss head" Zoro scoffed saying "you've been hanging out with that cook to much" I snapped back playfully "no I haven't" Zoro crossed his arms as he said "You're last few plans haven't worked what makes you think this one will?" I responded "because you're smart and if we come up with it together it's got to work" He looked at me for a bit before saying saying "Fine I have a plan, when we come up to this next island ask to go with him when he buys groceries, at least then you'll be spending some time together"

I clapped my hands together saying "that's a great idea!" I stood up walking over to him and kissed him on the cheek before saying "thank you for all the help Zoro" as I ran off to find Sanji seening as Nami said well be arriving in about two hours an hour ago, I made my way to the kitchen and when I entered I found Sanji cigarette in his mouth as he wrote a list of what he need to buy on the island, Sanji looked up from what he was writing immediately forgetting the list when he saw me, he stood up straighter pulling the cigarette out of his mouth blowing the smoke before asking happily "Beautiful what are you doing here?"

I smiled at him saying "I was wandering if I could come shopping with you on the island" He said in the classic love struck Sanji voice "of course sweetheart we can go anywhere you want to go" I chuckled saying "I just meant the grocery shopping"

Sanji dramatically spun towards me saying "aw you want to help me grocery shop? You're so sweet!"

That's how I ended up walking down the street with Sanji on the island we landed on, Sanji said "we should get vegetables first, I like to get the meat last so it doesn't have to sit out as long" I nodded saying "that's smart, so where are we going first?" He pointed in the direction of a bunch of stalls saying "that way" I grabbed his arm before we started walking smiling as I said "lead the way then" Sanji blushed when I grabbed his arm, he said happily "okay I'll lead the way beautiful"

We stopped at a vegetable stall Sanji grabbed a lot of different vegetables he looked over at me after grabbing a few saying "I make sure to grab a few extra of these cause I know their you're favorite" I looked at him surprised he even knew that, I asked confused "I don't remember telling you those are my favorite" he chuckled saying "you didn't but I always see you look more happy eating them compared to the other vegetables so I just guess, and judging by you're reaction I got it right"

I hadn't realized Sanji paid that much attention to me and my eating preferences, it was stuff like this that made me have such great admiration for Sanji, he cared so much for the crews preferences it was really sweet, I said "It's sweet how much you care about the crews preferences" He smiled at me before saying "Yeah but I care about a pretty girl like you and your preferences more then those boys" I chuckled saying "I'm sure you do Sanji"

We bought from quite a few more places and it was no surprise to me that the stall we bought the most from was the one selling meat, I looked over at him after he finished paying and saying thank you to the seller, I asked "so was that our last stop" Sanji nodded saying "Yeah this was our last stop, but if you want we can go shopping more after we drop these off on the ship" I smiled saying "that sounds great" I looked down at all the bags he's holding despite the fact I offered to hold some multiple times every time I did he said 'no a pretty lady shouldn't hold bags' even though I had a feeling that was what he was going to say I still offer again "you know Sanji I can hold some of those"

"No a pretty lady should not be forced to hold bags just relax"

I responded back playfully "okay mister chivalrous" Sanji stood up proudly saying "I try" I said "well you do a great job at it"

We walked back to the ship chatting happily when we got there we walked to the kitchen, Sanji placed the bags down on the counter before he started put the food away, I asked "Do you want help?" Sanji shook his head saying "No no I've got it you don't have to lift a finger" I hummed watching Sanji put stuff away he did it with such efficiency it was impressive, I took a second before saying "if we're going shopping I'm going to go get changed" Sanji smiled saying "okay I'll get you when I'm done with the groceries" I said happily "okay" before practically skipping out of the kitchen with joy

Zoro's pov

Zoro made his way to the kitchen when he walked in he saw Sanji alone as he put away groceries, Zoro spoke up asking where you were, Sanji responded "she's getting changed were going to go shopping" Zoro leaned against the wall crossing his arms as he said "I'm sure that will make her happy"

Sanji finished putting away the vegetables before saying "that reminds me" He looked over at Zoro saying "why are you trying to get us together?" Zoro scoffed saying "because she asked me to" Sanji responded looking at him confused "and you said yes?" Zoro said "of course I did"

Sanji put a hand on his hip before saying to Zoro in a annoyed tone "but you like her too"

Zoro looked away saying "she likes you" Sanji scoffed say angrily "she likes you too you idiot moss head" Zoro huffed not responding, Sanji tapped his foot before saying "Fine then if you want to self sabotage I'll get her with you" Zoro stopped leaning on the wall walking toward Sanji as he said irritated "what you idiot chef you're not doing that"

Sanji walked up to Zoro slamming his head against his saying "oh yes I am you can't tell me what to do!" Zoro said loudly "I'm trying to help, you idiot!" Sanji said just as loudly "oh but not yourself I'm not letting you act all noble and self sacrificing!"

Their arguing got intrupted by you walking into the kitchen saying "Sanji I'm ready to go, I thought I'd come by since you were taking so long"

Sanji and Zoro quickly pulled away from each other as Sanji said "I'm ready beautiful we can go now"

Your pov

I looked between Sanji and Zoro asking "was I interrupting something?" Sanji shook he's head walking over to me as he said "no no you're not interrupting" Sanji went over to the door opening it for me as he was doing that I looked at Zoro smiling brightly as I gave him a thumbs up, Zoro returned my thumbs up smiling slightly, I turned around walking out of the door as Sanji held it, I missed the way Sanji and Zoro glared at each other, Sanji followed behind me shutting the door

Me and Sanji spent the whole day out shopping he once again would not let me carry anything, once he put my bags in my room and told me he was going to work on dinner I went to girl talk with Zoro about what happened today, I found Zoro working out like usual I walked over to him saying excited "Zoro I had the best day!" Zoro looked over at me from where he was lifting his weights, he said "You're day out with curly brows good?" I nodded happily saying "it was great!"

I plopped down near him as I started to talk about my day explaining every detail of what me and Sanji did as he continued giving occasional hums and swinging that stupidly big weight, before I knew it it was dinner time I didn't realize that till Sanji started to walk over to me and Zoro with two full plates of food, I looked over at Sanji saying happily "oh Sanji I didn't realize it was time for dinner yet" He nodded placing the plate down in front of me saying "yep time for dinner" He turned over to Zoro yelling "moss head get over here and eat!"

Zoro scoffed but still stopped working out and made his way over to me, Zoro sat down and Sanji place the plate of food in front of him, I looked at the two plates of food in front of me and Zoro before looking at Sanji and asking "Are you not going to eat with us?" Sanji smiled at me grabbing my hand and kissing it gently before saying "as much as I would love to Beautiful I have to finish getting dinner ready for the rest of the crew" He stood up as I said "Do you need help?" Sanji shook his head saying "Dont worry about that today just enjoy" I took a second before saying "okay then I'll see you later Sanji" I went to eat my food as I did that I missed the way Sanji and Zoro glared at each other before Sanji walked away

That's how me and Zoro ended up sitting there eating together, I asked Zoro "so how has you're day been?" Zoro looked up from his food swallowing it before saying "it's been good especially with out you bothering me all day" I huffed smacking his arm lightly as I said "hey you know you love me bothering you!" He just chuckled before we kept eating, it was always enjoyable spending time with Zoro he was just fun to be around sure he had some rough edges but under them he was as goofy as the rest of the crew and that's what made hangout with him so fun, it also didn't hurt that he was one of my favorite people on the ship, he's the guy I went to with everything, if I needed help I knew Zoro would be there no questions asked, I think his loyalty is one of the reasons I liked him so much

I didn't even realize I was staring till Zoro spoke up breaking my train of thought as he said "Do I got something on my face?" I blinked surprised at his question for a second before quickly saying "No you don't" he looked at me asking "then why are you staring?" I smiled saying softly "I don't know you're just nice to look at" Zoros face turned a slight pink color on his cheeks before he turned away saying "whatever"

Dinner with Zoro went great and I couldn't help but think about it for the days after, in those days after I was so distracted by my feelings towards Zoro that I wad trying to ignore and my feelings towards Sanji that I was trying to pursue that I didn't not even realize how Zoro and Sanji were acting, sure they were still at each other's throats but they were both pushing me into situations where I had to spend time with the other, I hadn't realized this was happening till I went into the kitchen to find Sanji, sure I did find Sanji there but I also found Zoro and they were so distracted yelling at each other they didn't notice me

Zoro had his arms crossed as he yelled at Sanji "why are you being an absolutely idiot cook I'm helping you!" Sanji put a hand on his hip as he shouted back "and when did I ask for help from you?!" Zoro was clearly irritated as he said back "you didn't have to she did isn't you're whole thing doing whatever women tell you too" Sanji scoffed saying "I love women but you know what I don't love you acting like you just get to make some 'noble' sacrifice and no one else gets a say in it" he huffed saying "aren't you trying to do the same thing now!"

As they argued it became more and more clear to me that they were fighting about me, I stood there surprised because I didn't expect them both to have such strong feelings about this situation

Sanji butted his head against Zoro saying so loudly I couldn't have possibly missed it "I'm not letting you be some self sacrificing idiot over some miss placed sense of loyalty!" Zoro responded just as loudly as him "and why do you get to make that call the lady said she wants to be with you so deal with it!" Sanji replied back "oh I know women Zoro it would take an idiot to not see how she feels about you, so actually I'm not surprised you're missing it!" Zoro pushed his head against Sanjis harder saying "are you calling me dumb" Sanji responded in a very high a mighty tone "oh that's exactly what I'm doing because you are you're a dumb moss head who's going to hurt a lady because you can't see how she feels"

Before Zoro could respond back with another argument to Sanji I said cutting through their fight "wait you both like me?"

Zoro and Sanji eyes quickly snapped over to me, the moment they realized I was in fact standing there they pulled back from one another, they looked almost embarrassed to be caught fighting over this by me, everything was quite for a bit before Sanji said "look beautiful I love you I really do but I can see how you feel about Zoro and I'm sorry this stupid moss head is to dumb to see it" Zoro huffed responding quickly "she literally asked me to help set her up with you!" Sanji said quickly "that's clearly because you where to obsessed with you're swords to see how she feels"

I quickly spoke again to stop them from butting heads again "I like both of you" Sanji and Zoros eyes fell on me again, I was nervous under the gaze of the two men I love, I missed with my fingers nervously as I said "I just didn't think Zoro like me and I thought I'd have a better chance of Sanji returning my affections" Zoro said huffing "of course I like you" I smiled at him softly before asking gently "Do you think we could maybe all try to make this work" I was really scared about how they would answer that question, Zoro and Sanji looked at each other before saying at the same time "and have to deal with stupid moss head?" "and have to deal with that stupid chef?" They wanted to say more things about each other but they looked at me and sighed both muttering "we can try"

I smiled at them even if they loved to argue it was clear how much they truly cared about each other, I had a feeling even if they acted like dealing with each other was such a great sacrifice on their part that this was going to turn out just fine, I walked up to both of them leaning in and kissing Zoro on the cheek before kissing Sanji on the cheek, when I pulled back I could see the blush on both of their faces, and the blood running down Sanjis nose, I smiled at them saying softly "I love you two" Sanji said happily "I love you too beautiful" Zoro said smiling slightly at me "I love you too woman"

I grabbed the mirror on both sides shaking it slightly as I yelled "Brulee I know you can hear me! You're favorite in law needs your help!" Suddenly Brulee's head popped out of the mirror as she said loudly "I heard you the first time!" I let go of the mirror smiling brightly as I clapped my hands together as I said "Brulee! I need you're help"

Brulee crawled out of the mirror saying "yes I heard that part" when she got out of the mirror and stood up fully I had to look up to stay looking at her face, she looked down at me asking "what do you need help with?" I said very excited about my plan "I want to make some donuts for Katakuri before he gets home, and I would like to enlist your help" I had a feeling Brulee would agree, I know she loves her older brother so I didn't think I would have any problem convincing her to do something nice for him with me, Brulee crossed her arms saying "Fine I'll help you make my big brother donuts"

I smiled hugging her the best I could with her large frame saying "thank you Brulee this is why you're my favorite sister in law!" She blushed looking away saying "whatever let's make the donuts" we walked to the kitchen together, I always really liked spending time with Brulee sure she could be rough around the edges but that's all of the Charlotte siblings not that I could blame them, still I tried to get along with all of Katakuri's family because I knew how much they mean to him, we arrived at the kitchen and I pushed the door open holding it for Brulee before following her inside, she looked at me asking "so what type of donuts are we making?" I responded quickly saying "I'm thinking a few types strawberry, jelly filled ones, glaze, oh and some blueberrie ones" she hummed nodding as she said "I see why you got my help" I nodded saying "okay let's get started"

Me and Brulee spent a lot of time baking, and like always I was really impressed by how good the Charlotte's were at baking it was really impressive, we plated up the donuts after that Brulee smiled at me saying "well now that we're done I well be leaving" I looked at her confused as I asked "You're not staying?" She responded "no I'm not staying I have other things to deal with" she stared walking to the door but before she opened it she said "tell Katakuri I said hi" I smiled at her saying "I well, it was great seeing you Brulee" she looked back at me smiling as well as she said softly "it was great seeing you too" after that she left

I sat alone in the house for a while till I eventually started hearing the clicking of Katakuri's boots against the ground, I quickly made my way out of the kitchen and over to him, he seemed surprised I was in the kitchen of all places, he asked softly "why were you in the kitchen?" I grinned up at him saying "it's a surprise" I grabbed his pant leg pulling him along with him because he was just a bit to big for me to pull along by his hand, I looked up at him and said "and no ruining the surprise with your observation haki" He said softly "I wouldn't dream of it sweetie" when we reached the kitchen door I said "now close your eyes and no peeking" Katakuri nodded closing his eyes, I pushed the door open leading him over to where the donuts me and Brulee made were, I took a second making sure everything was perfect before saying "okay open your eyes now"

Katakuri opened his eyes seeing the plate of donuts in front of him he took a second before looking down at me and pointing to himself as he asked "are those donuts for me?" I nodded happily as I said "yes they are, I got Brulee to help me make them for you so I hope you like them" He said softly "Brulee helped you make them?" I nodded "yeah she said hi but she left earlier" he nodded he looked touched that we would put in this effort for him, I could tell even if it was a bit hard with half his face covered, he reached up taking off his scarf, I always felt honored when Katakuri was welling to take off his scarf around me, I knew how much he hated people seeing his face so I was happy he trusted me enough to show me, after slipping his scarf off he grabbed a donut, he took a bite of it and I could see the smile spread across his face, he quickly started eating more of the donuts

I looked at him asking softly "do you like them?"

I opened my eyes quickly only to be meet by my boyfriend's face I realized the thing I'm certainly biting into is Luffys cheek and Luffy was biting into my steak, I pulled back from him and as soon as my teeth left his cheek he gulped down the rest of my steak, I put my fork down crossing my arms as I said "Luffy that was my food!" I could already hear Sanji berating him as I sighed, Luffy looked at me pouting as he wrapped his arms around me and laid his head on my shoulder saying "but I thought you liked sharing your food with me?" I scoffed "you know that doesn't mean steal it of my fork, I would have shared if you asked" He smiled at me giggling happily as he said "but you make such a cute face when I don't" I felt my face heat up at that I wasn't sure how Luffy could so easily fluster me with out even trying, I muttered annoyed "what ever" He giggled kissing my cheek and Luffy didn't do tiny cheek kisses no he acted like he was going off to war and this was the last time he'd kiss you one of those dramatic long ones that I couldn't help but giggle at, when he finally pulled back he made a loud 'muah!' before going back to shoving food in his gullet, I just huffed before going back to my food but as I stole glances over at the man that was sunshine in human form and noticed the teeth marks on his cheek I couldn't help but think 'I should have bite him harder for stealing my food'

Zoro

Zoro was training like always, I was laying on the deck bored out of my mind as my boyfriend worked out for what was probably the 5th hour to day, I whined loudly "you done yet Zoro!" He responded back quickly saying "No and I already told you you don't have to hangout with me while I work out" I sighed loudly rolling over as the sun went behind a cloud giving the deck of the thousand sunny some temporary shade, I looked at Zoro for a bit before getting an idea, I sat up quickly practically jumping up before making my way over to the man with moss colored hair, Zoro looked at me raising an eyebrow but not saying anything, I brought my hands into fists before holding them up in a position like I was getting ready to fight, Zoro looked like he already knew where this was going before I even throw the first playful punch, I punched the air around Zoro dramatically as I made sounds like I was in the most intense battle of my life, Zoro just said "Do you have to do this every time I train?" I scoffed before saying jokingly "we're training Zoro not just you, don't you know how much effort it takes to punch you this many times" He just chuckled slightly saying "whatever you say I guess" I continued playfully punching at him making sure to never actually make contact with him, Luffy walked by saying loudly "Hey Zoro!" Zoro turned to look at our captain just as I throw a punch I planned to stop before it hit his face except I wasn't expecting him to move it and before I knew it my fist made full contact with Zoros face

I immediately pulled my hand back saying "oh my gosh Zoro are you okay I'm so so sorry" I heard Luffy giggle in the background before walking off probably to find something to eat, Zoro said "Im fine" as he put down the weight he was holding, I grabbed his face after he stood back up from putting the weight down, I said softly "are you sure that sounded like it hurt" He said calmly as he put a hand on my waist "Yeah I'm sure, you are getting way better at those punches though" I huffed saying "I punch you in the face and you compliment me?" He scoffed saying with a jokingly annoyed undertone "am I not supposed to compliment my partner?" I sighed I was glad he wasn't hurt but he was ridiculous and I was fine making sure he knew that I said rubbing his cheek I didn't punch "You're ridiculous" I leaned in kissing his cheek that I hit thinking to myself 'even if he's ridiculous I love my stupid moss head'

Sanji

I was sitting in the kitchen as Sanji tried out a new recipe, the kitchen smelt delicious and just like everything Sanji cooks I'm sure it's going to taste just as if not better then what it smells like which meant I was more then happy to be my boyfriend's taste tester, now of course I take my job as Sanji favorite taste tester very very seriously but not seriously enough to stop me from resting my head on my hand and admire the beautiful blonde man in front of me as he cooked, Sanji some how made it look so effortless like cooking was second nature to him, I watched as he practically danced around the kitchen he really did make cooking look like a art one that he had mastered to perfection, it also definitely didn't hurt that he looked like wife material in that apron, just as that thought entered my mind Sanji called out as he started plating the food "it'll be done in just a minute beautiful, you know I'd hate to leave someone as pretty as you hungry for any longer then I have to" I chuckled at Sanji classic lover boy talk, I responded "take all the time you need to I'm in no rush, besides I like watching you cook" Sanji brought the plate over to me as he said in he's head over heels voice "well if that's the case you can watch me cook anytime" He placed the plate in front of me gently before laying the silverware out for me say gently "tell me what you think beautiful" I picked up the fork taking a bite of the perfectly made food in front of me as Sanji pulled out a cigarette slotting it in his mouth, the food was delicious so delicious in fact that I put my hand up turning to hit Sanji chest lightly and tell him how great it is but unknown to me Sanji leaned down to be on my level so instead of softly meeting his chest the back of my hand smacked right into his face hard

I looked over at Sanji shocked quickly saying "I'm so sorry sweetie I didn't mean to hit you, I thought you were still standing" Sanji put a hand on his face groaning as he said "It's okay beautiful" he kneeled down dramatically like he was actually hurt as he said "if it's my destiny to die at the hands of one as beautiful as you then I shall die a happy man" I scoffed at he's antics saying "your not dying Sanji get up" He shook his head lowering his hand to look me in the eyes as he said "no I'm dying I see an angel right now" I huffed feeling my face flush as I said "Sanji you're looking right at me" He grabbed my hand in his and put his other hand to his chest as he leaned down gently put his lips against my hand before saying "and you are an angel beautiful and I will gladly take any beating these angelic hands grace me with" I yelled at him as he kissed my hand "I did not beat you!" even if he was being an absolutely idiot I couldn't help but smile at Sanji words it was sweet how much he cared about me and I couldn't help but find his chivalry endearing, I couldn't help but think to myself 'he's such a sweet blonde even if he does have stupid eyebrows'

Brook

It was late at night on the sunny and I had woken up to an especially dry throat which is why I was currently wandering around the halls of the ship so long after the sun set, I was hoping to get something to drink in the kitchen but it still felt so far away, I rubbed my eyes gently as I yawned and kept walking, I was still very tired from having woken up not to long ago but I kept moving forward I sighed going to turn the corner towards the kitchen when I did that I was greeted by the sight of a very large skeleton just standing there, now despite the fact seeing a skeleton is actually a very common occurrence on the sunny my tired brain didn't even consider the fact we had a skeleton crew mate which was a especially embarrassing thing to forget when I was dating said skeleton but here we were and before my brain could even think of anything else or any reason for the undead in front of me I punched the very tall man in front of me where his stomach would be I ended up slightly hitting his spine

I heard a very familiar laugh from above me I looked up, waking up a bit more from the scare of walking around a corner in the middle of the night to see a skeleton, the skeleton spoke up saying "I didn't expect you to punch me in the gut dear, that is if I had one" He laughed at his own joke like always, I asked after a yawn "Brook?" He leaned down to be on my level as he said "yes that's me darling" I blinked for a second before all my tiredness seemed to disappear because I just realized I punched at my boyfriend for no reason, I immediately said "Brook I'm so sorry for hitting you" He smiled at me saying "it's fine dear, although I wouldn't be opposed to you showing me your panties as an apology" I crossed my arms saying "don't make me hit you again" He just chuckled before asking "why are you up so late?" I responded "I was going to get something to drink from the kitchen" He smiled saying "well allow me to walk you there then my love" He held his arm out for me to take and I did letting him lead the way to the kitchen as we walked I thought 'I love this silly skeleton even if he is a perv'

Ace

I was sitting at a bar a very very loud bar there were a bunch of people there I'm sure at least haft of them were pirates not that I could judge I was waiting for a pirate Mr 2nd division commander of the Whitebeard Pirates, fire fist Ace, aka my boyfriend, I was picking at my fries bored out of my mind as I waited for Ace to show up he had said when he called earlier that he'd be here soon he literally said 'I'll be there before you know it baby' but it looked like before you know it wasn't actually going to be before you know it, I sighed sipping on my drink I didn't like being in bars with out my human equivalent of a guard dog still here I sat waiting for him, I really hope he didn't make me wait to much longer because even if I was fine with pirates I could tell this lot was not that type I'd like to hang around and frankly being in this bar with them with out Ace was making me keep my guard very high, I scoffed into my drink thinking to myself 'I never have to feel paranoid when Ace is around' I sipped my drink a bit more as I heard foot steps come up behind me some of my light was blocked out by the shadow of a man and before I realized it a strangely warm hand slipped on to my waist as someone with a strangely familiar voice said "hey beautiful what you doing in a place like this alone you-" before I could even register why his voice sounded like one I've heard before or the man could even finish what he was saying I turned around in my chair swinging as hard as I could at the man's face, I felt my hand make full contact with him just the way Ace told me to deal with creeps

I was about to give this creep a piece of my mind when I quickly recognized his adorably freckled face even with the hand that was once holding my waist now holding his cheek, I was to shocked to say anything but Ace quickly broke the silence saying "I know I'm late baby but I didn't think you'd be this mad" I said absolutely flabbergasted "Ace no sweetie I'm not mad I didn't realize it was you I'm so sorry I punched you" He smiled at me saying "No you did good I'd want you to punch some creep touching you" I couldn't help but smile at my absolute cute pie it's like he's smile was contagious, I reached a hand out moving his from his cheek and replacing it with my own, he placed his hand on top of mine saying playfully "you've got one hell of a punch baby, maybe you should be the one protecting me not the other way around" I chuckled he was such a goof ball and some how even when I was the one who punched him he was making me feel better about it, this man really was just a warm bright campfire on a cold night he some how just melted all my worries away, I felt my smile widened as I thought to myself 'what did I do to deserve this sweetie pie'

Sabo

The halls of the revolutionary army's base was quite it wasn't surprising everyone was either asleep, shoved to far into paperwork to make noise or off on a mission, not me though I was going to sleep but couldn't the problem being Sabo has been gone for well over a month and I just couldn't sleep as well with out Sabo something about him just made me sleep better which is how I found myself here wandered the halls of the base all by myself worrying about my boyfriend's safety, I knew he was probably fine Sabo was strong and smart but I still worried being a revolutionary was dangerous and for all I know he could be in danger right now, I sighed as I kept walking I hated know Sabo's mission would probably take a few more weeks, I was so distracted in my thoughts about Sabo I didn't even hear any foot steps come up behind me I didn't even know anyone was there till one hand landed gently on my shoulder and the other gloved hand landed over my eyes, before this person even had a chance to say something all my training with Sabo came flooding back to me, now I might not be a revaluation that went to battle a lot but Sabo had made sure I could hold my own against someone, he always said 'as much as it pains me I can't always be there to protect so you have to be able to protect yourself even if it's just a little' I quickly stomped on the person's foot before jabbing my elbow into their side as hard as I could

I heard the person grunt as their hand fell from my eyes they leaned more into my back before a very familiar smooth voice said "are you trying to break my ribs the moment I get back darling" He chuckled slightly before adding "I didn't know you wanted to keep me from the field that bad" I gasped quickly stepping off of his foot trying to turn around to face him but I was unable to when Sabo wrapped his arms around my waist resting his head on my shoulder, I said still shocked that he was here "I thought your mission would take at least two more weeks" He hummed shoving his face in my neck his breath tickling me as he said "I made sure to finish it as fast as possible to get back to you, although it seems you weren't as excited to see me" I said quickly not wanting him to get the wrong idea "no no I'm so happy you're back I just wasn't expecting you I'm so sorry I elbowed you" He chuckled lightly "its fine dear you know I'm just playing" I yelped as he quickly before I could even register it swept me off my feet holding me like a groom would a bride, he smiled at my shock before saying gently "now how about we head to bed darling?" I just nodded as I leaned into his chest as I thought 'I'm so happy Sabos home'

Law

The time for checkups has rolled around on the Polar Tang which is way I'm here sitting in front of Law on an exam table, I kicked my feet back and forth softly as he explained a bunch of medical mumbo jumbo, Law seemed to realize I wasn't paying attention to what he was saying at all, he said slightly annoyed but not surprised at all "You're not listening to me at all are you?" I looked at him surprised saying in a why no one would believe I was telling the truth "what no I was listening" he sighed not even bothering to respond to me before saying " I guess we'll just start the checkup since you don't want to listen to me" I huffed as Law grabbed gloves he slipped them on each hand before saying "I'm going to test your reflexes" I nodded as I stopped kicking my feet Law grabbed a tiny rubber hammer saying calmly "I'm going to lightly tap your tendon" I hummed as he walked over to me saying "Yeah I know" Law gently tapped my tendon and my leg shot out he hummed before tapping the hammer against my other leg, my leg went out and kicked Law right in the leg

Law groaned when my foot hit he's leg I took a second before I started laughing at him Law looked at me annoyed I said between giggles "you got yourself kicked" Law crossed his arms saying "Yeah yeah real funny" I continued to laugh "it is, it is funny" Law scoffed as he uncrosssd his arms to start tapping my elbows he said as he did that "shouldn't you feel some remorse for hitting me" I shook my head as my giggling slowly stopped, I said a the very tail end of the giggling "no because you're the reason my leg kicked out so you basically hit yourself" He just rolled his eyes before he continued the exam muttering under his breath that I was immature, I said playfully poking him "you know you love me" Law didn't respond but we both knew it was true I thought to myself 'I like getting chances to laugh at Law'

Doflamingo

I was getting ready for a night out with Doflamingo, I was making sure everything was in order I knew how Doffy was he wanted me looking my best when we went out and he wouldn't expect anything else, Doffy hated when things didn't meet his standards which is way the clothes clinging to my skin were hand picked by Doflamingo with this date in mind, not that I mind him picking my clothes if Doflamingo had one thing going for him it would be his since of style, I smiled at myself in the mirror smoothing down the clothes a bit more, they really where flattering but even with that I felt like something was missing from the look, I looked around me and Doffys shared room trying to think about what it was, I noticed Doflamingo on the other side of the room he was in a crisp suit, the suit really did help his tall frame look more intimidating then it did in he's usual more laid back clothes but that's not what my eyes drawled to instead it was the cologne he was spraying on, it clicked in my head that's what's missing perfume, I quickly went looking for my favorite perfume one that Doffy got me for my birthday last year that quickly became my favorite, I noticed it on a shelf much to high for me to reach myself, I sighed because I had a feeling I knew how it got up there, Doffy loved putting things to high for me to reach so I had to ask him for help, I spoke up as I pointed up at my perfume saying "hey Doffy can you grab that for me?" I turned with my hand still up to check where he was at but instead of being still across the room like I expected my hand hit him in the crotch

I immediately pulled away after I actually hit him, Doffy put a hand on my head I looked up at the tall man saying apologetically "I'm so sorry Doffy I didn't even notice you" I felt his hand tighten a bit before he said through gritted teeth "it's fine sweetheart" I looked away from him nervously as I muttered "are you sure? I'm really sorry if I hurt you" even if I was dating Doffy I was well aware of how easily he could crush my skull in his hand, Doffy chuckled even if it wasn't a very amused one, he said "I'm insulted that you think you could hurt me" I said nervously as he reached above me to grabbed my perfume "I didn't mean it like that" He laughed spraying my perfume on me as he said "I know sweetheart" after he finished spring it he made sure to put it back somewhere to high for me to reach, after he patted my head saying "let's go sweetheart" I let out a sigh of relief that Doffy wasn't mad at me, I thought to myself letting out an internal sigh 'think God he's not mad'

Corazon/Rosinante

I was walking around the Donquixote pirates ship after a long day of work now working for the Donquixote pirates was a pain a really really big pain but it paid so it's just how things had to go, I strolled through the ship, I had heard Corazon had gotten back last night I was hoping to see him today but I had been so busy I haven't been able to find him, Corazon was by far my favorite person here and not just because he was my boyfriend, but because he was by far the only mentally stable one here, he is kind and caring and didn't see people like tools, I sighed I decided I was going to look for Corazon tomorrow I was tired and going to head to my room I stretched my arms out yawning just as I did that I heard someone I didn't know was there trip and fall smaking into my arm on the way down

I quickly pulled my arms back in and looked down at the bundle of feathers laying on the ground, I gasped in shocked quick crouching down next to Corazon saying "Cora are you okay? That looked like it really really hurt" He lifted his head up smiling slightly as he gave me a thumbs up but despite that I could see the scratch on his for head and the nose bleed he got from hitting the ground, I quickly used my sleeve to wipe the blood saying worried "You're bleeding" Corazon grabbed the notepad out of his coat writing on it quickly 'its okay sweetheart I'm okay' I sighed loudly saying "You're not okay you're bleeding!" He just gave me a bigger smile like that was supposed to comfort me even though I was dating a man who was so clumsy that you'd think he had the worst luck in the world, I finished wiping the blood as he wrote down something on the notepad after he showed me a paper that said 'see its just a nose bleed' I scoffed "yeah from face plating into my arm and the ground" He pouted before quickly writing 'is you're arm okay?' I wanted to sigh again at how he acted like this didn't matter but instead I found myself smiling at the fact he was worried for me, I said softly "yes I'm fine" after saying that I leaned up kissing his forehead gently thinking to myself 'this man's clumsiness is going to give me a heart attack one day'

Katakuri

Me and Katakuri were laying in bed it had been a long long day of running around and I was happy to get to unwind after it with my sweet husband, he was laying next to me on our giant bed reading as he enjoyed some night time donuts, he was absolutely adorable as he munched away at the sweet treats, as I watched him my mind couldn't help but wander even with all my time married to the large sweet commander I still couldn't help but find myself wondering about him I found him so fascinating and I wasn't sure if thats because he's actually fascinating or just the want to know everything about the person you love, as I was laying there looking at him a sudden thought popped into my head 'what if I hit him?' because he will dodge I know that, everyone's heard about Katakuris crazy good observation haki and I don't get to see it that often so it made me interested I wanted to see him really coolly dodge stuff so I found myself letting my intrusive thoughts win, I sat up looking at Katakuri as he was still reading he looked so peaceful and pretty as he did it it was making me question if I should go through with this idea but instead of deciding it was a bad idea I thought to myself 'he's going to dodge so what's the harm' I waited for him to finish his donut and swallow it before going to smack him to my surprise and horror instead of him dodging it my hand made full contact with his face as the sound of the slap ringed through our room

I looked at Katakuri horrified saying quickly "oh I'm so sorry Katakuri are you okay?!" I felt so bad that I had just smacked my husband in the face I really thought he was going to dodge it, Katakuri instead of answering my question asked his own saying sweetly "sweetie have I done something to upset you?" I shook my head quickly saying "No no of course you haven't" I was panicking at the fact that I not only hit him but made him think I was upset at him, I placed a hand on his cheek softly as I said "I'm not upset with you I thought you'd dodge, you know like you do when you fight people I thought it'd be really cool to see but I guess you didn't see it coming, I'm sorry love" He leaned against my hand as he put his on top of mine saying gently "no I saw it coming" I looked at him for a while before saying flabbergasted "then why didn't you dodge?!" He looked at me with possibly the most love I've ever seen in a man's eyes and said "You're my spouse if you wanted to hit me I was sure there was a good reason for it" I looked at him asking "so you let me hit you because you thought I was mad and probably had a good reason for it?" He hummed kissing my wrist before saying "I knew you'd never hit me without a reason so why would I stop you" I just sighed at this absolute sweetheart before thinking to myself 'I can't believe Katakuri let me hit him because he thought I had a good reason'

Mihawk

Mihawk was currently not home which meant I was all alone on our gloomy little island, now as much as I knew I didn't need to worry about intruders or really anything scary here it was kinda hard not to get a little paranoid on an island as spooky as this one when you're all alone, but I decided to distracted myself by doing the chores around the house right now I was walking toward me and Mihawk's room with our freshly cleaned sheets, I found myself a lot more jumpy when Mihawk wasn't home so I tried to make it to the room as quick as possible, maybe it was really childish to think no monsters or threats would get me in my room but here I was, when I reached the door to the bedroom I quickly pushed it open heading inside, I made my way to the bed placing the sheets on it before starting to put them on it, I sighed wandering when Mihawk will get home I slipped the first sheet on, I watched as the red silk sheet covered the bed, I put the next sheet on before deciding to put the pillows in the pillowcases before putting the comforter on I grabbed the first pillow case it was black on the outside and red on the inside where pillow sleeps, I grabbed my pillow shimmying it into the pillowcase after that I grabbed Mihawks and put it in the other pillowcase just as I finished doing that I heard cracking from behind me I froze and before thinking I squeezed my eyes closed and swang the pillow hard at what ever was behind me saying loudly and scared "the only ghost allowed in my house is perona so get out of here!" Mihawks pillow made contact with something

I opened my eyes to find my husband standing there his hair a bit missed up from getting hit by a pillow, I looked a him for a second before giggling as I said "oh its you Mihawk" Mihawk sighed taking the pillow from me and started fixing up the bed "you seemed quite distracted my love I had a enough time to come in and place Yoru down before you noticed me" I finished giggling as I said "well it's not my fault your foot steps are so quite" He just smoothed out the bed sheets after he finished making the bed, he stood up turning around to look at me saying "and here I thought you'd be happy that I'm home instead I'm greeted by a pillow in my face" I smiled at him placing a hand on his cheek as I said "I'm sorry my love would you have preferred a kiss?" He smiled lightly as he said "yes I would have my love" I leaned in kissing him as I thought 'I love him even if he spooks me sometimes'

Buggy

I was sitting on me and Buggys bed as he gave me a dramatic showing of what he's going to say to his subordinates tomorrow really putting on the big show so I'd get the full picture, he wanted my opinion on if I thought it was perfect he really did take his performances seriously or as seriously as Buggy could be, I watched quietly as I chuckled occasionally at his antics, after he finished he looked at me saying "so what did you think?" I hummed deciding to leave him in suspense for a bit before saying "it was good sweetie" Buggy got up in my face saying "just good my jester? I was going for great! Perfect even" I chuckled at his silly pout reaching out to run my fingers through his hair I said softly "okay okay it was great" He smiled standing up tall saying "I know I'm great!" I smiled as he held his hand up I went to hi five his hand and completely missed his hand landing square on his face instead

Now there were plenty of nights where this didn't bother my sleep because Ace decided he wanted to admire me before falling back asleep, I only found out about this fun fact when I woke up on my own one night to fine Ace staring at me, I swear I almost jumped out of the bed when I realized his eyes where open, now I could live with my boyfriend watching me sleep in the middle of the night that wasn't the problem, the problem was the nights were he decided when he was awake I needed to be awake

To get me awake Ace would either get really close to my ear and say softly "baby, baby wake up, come on sweetie I'm bored, sunshine get up" and if that didn't work he'd start poking me while saying the same stuff, now sadly tonight was one of those nights, I woke up to Ace poking my face gently the heat from his fingers gently tickling my face as he said "Baby wake up, come on sweetie get uppppp" I felt lean in closer as he said "please wake up sunshine"

I sighed rolling over to face him saying sleepy "okay okay I'm up" Ace smiled snuggling his face into mine as he said "you want to hang out?" I said slightly annoyed "you woke me up to ask that?" He nodded pulling back to look at me as he said "yeah, I woke up and wanted to spend time with you"

I took a second before snuggling into his chest enjoying his warmth as I said "Fine we can hang out, you want to talk about something?" Ace hummed before saying "what do you want to eat for breakfast?" I started gently connecting the freckles on his chest as I said "what ever you want is fine" he responded "I'm think bacon and hash browns" I hummed as he continued to yap about what ever came to mind, as I listened to his heart beat I noticed he had suddenly stopped talking, I looked up at his face to find him completely passed out, I took a second before chuckling softly and letting myself fall asleep against him even though I knew he'd be waking me up again

That's how it was on nights Ace wanted me to hang out with him, sure it was a bit annoying to get woken up all the time but I also liked that Ace wanted to spend that time with me it was sweet even if it left me looking like death in the morning, besides I enjoy those two options way more then the third one which I only dealt with a hand full of times, it was another one I found out about by waking up in the middle of the night

The third option was Ace waking up and being sad despite he's usually happy personal Ace was more depressed then people would think you couldn't blame the man he had been hearing his existence was wrong since he was a child and because of that he had a lot of insecurities but he chose to hide them from people and I hated that he felt like he need to hide anything from me, so on night he woke up sad and exhausted and I also woke up I made sure to hold him and reassure him that I was very very happy he was born

I could still perfectly remember the first time I woke up to the third option, it was late and I had woken up I wasn't sure why but I stretched and hummed a bit as I rolled over to face Ace's side of the bed after a second I opened my eyes to find Ace sat up, he's elbows were placed in his knees as he rested his head in one of his hands, he looked exhausted and not in the I've woken up multiple times tonight way no he looked emotionally exhausted, I spoke up softly not wanting to spook him "Ace?" Even with my softer tone he still jumped slightly before looking over at me saying quietly "sorry did I wake you up baby?"

I shook my head sitting up next to him saying "No no you didn't wake me up" I put a hand gently on his shoulder rubbing it softly before moving it to his back, I rested my forehead where my hand previously was, I just sat there in silence with him for a bit before asking "what's wrong sweetie?" He stayed quiet not responding as his face slipped from his hand to rest on his arms, I heard him sigh before saying "just one of those nights you know" I hummed, I knew exactly what he was talking about, I knew about Ace's opinions on himself but still I hated seeing him sad like this, I kissed his shoulder gently before pulling him close, I put a hand on his head pulling him against my chest softly Ace put up no resistance against me, as I laid down with him I said "you know how happy I am that you were born?"

Ace didn't say anything as he wrapped his arms around me, I could feel his warmth sipping into me as we laid there, just as I was about to continue thinking he wasn't going to respond he muttered against my chest "how happy?" I smiled running my fingers through his hair as I said "very, I'm very very very happy you're alive Ace"

It had been two weeks and I still couldn't sleep right, I sighed looking up at the ceiling questioning what was wrong with me everyone else on the crew sleeps just fine but here I was unable to do the most normal thing, I toss and turned for what felt like forever before getting up and quietly making my way out of the room, I ventured to the kitchen hoping to find something to drink before hopefully getting to sleep. When I walked into the kitchen I saw law leaning against the counter looking over a file and drinking some tea, law looked up from the file seeing me he didn't seem to surprised to see me, he asked calmly "hey what are you doing up?" Despite asking that it didn't really seem like a question more like he was seeing if I was actually welling to tell him the truth, I responded nervously "oh I just woke up and wanted something to drink"

Law was looking at me like he didn't believe me at all he asked "you just woke up?" I nodded saying "Yeah yeah I just woke up" before he could ask anymore questions I changed the subject asking "so what are you reading?" He took a sip of his tea as he held up the paper, after finishing his sip he said "It's you're file from the check up I did when you joined the crew" I looked at him confused saying "why are you reading that?" Law looked at me for a second before humming and going back to his tea, I guess he wasn't going to tell me. I looked around the kitchen it was still pretty dark even with the one light law had on, I looked at the fridge considering getting my own glass of tea as I tried to avoid laws eyes because no matter what I was doing I always felt like law could see right through anything I say, my thoughts were broken by law placing down the file and his glass of tea before grabbing a new glass and heading to the fridge, once he opened it he grabbed the tea poring it into the cup as he spoke up saying "you should probably get another check up soon"

Law finished pouring the glass before putting the tea back and shutting the fridge he turned around making his way toward me and stopping right in front of me, I felt nervous under the captains gaze but he just held out the glass for me to take as he said "just to make sure you adjusting to life on the submarine well"

I looked at him nervously because I knew I wasn't adjusting well and I had a feeling law knew that still I didn't want him to worry so I responded cheerfully "I'm adjusting great captain you don't have to worry about me, I know you have plenty of other work to handle"

Law looked at me before saying in he's usually cold voice that you could still somehow tell he cared through "I'm your captain it's my job to care about you're health"

I felt my face heat up at laws words, I looked away from him saying "I'm fine really" law crossed he's arms saying "well even so I'd like to make sure, how about you come by for a check up tomorrow?" I wanted to argue with him that I didn't need one but he is my captain so I said "okay I'll come by tomorrow"

Law smiled at me before handing me the glass of tea and saying "good now drink you tea and head to bed" I nodded saying jokingly as I saluted him "aye aye captain" He huffed amused before grabbing his tea and the file and heading out of the kitchen, as he left he said "I'll see you tomorrow" I nodded saying "Yeah see you tomorrow"

The next day I was walking around tired because even after talking to law last night I wasn't able to get to sleep, I sighed heading to laws doctor office, when I reached the door I stood there nervously in front of it trying to build up the courage to knock as I was standing there I heard laws voice call out "are you going to come in or are you just going to stand there all day?"

I jumped surprised law knew I was there I took a second before opening the door to find law sitting on a chair in a doctors coat, he gestured to the exam table as he said "sit"

I waddled towards the exam table sitting down, it wasn't my first time being here but I still found myself playing with my fingers nervously, I really didn't want to bother law with this sleep problem but I had a feeling he already knew, law asked "so have you been having any problems since boarding the Polar Tang?" I shook my head saying "No I've been fine" law looked at me saying coldly "so those bag under your eyes are fine?"

I tried to say something but I stopped because I didn't know how to respond to that, I couldn't help but think 'so he does know' After collecting myself I said "okay I'll admit I've been having a bit of trouble sleeping"

He hummed saying "that's what I thought" He said "it could be do to the lack of natural light that can cause sleep problems and you are not used to it, I would recommend a strict sleep schedule I have melatonin to help you fall asleep and hopefully after a while you're body will rebuild that habit"

I nodded softly but law could tell something else was still on my mind so he asked "is there anything else you think could be the problem" I looked away muttering "it's embarrassing" law said "There's no need to be embarrassed I'm your doctor" I built up my courage before saying "I've been feeling lonely, I think it's just being so deep in the ocean and alone, or well I know I'm not alone the crews here but in bed at night I feel alone" I felt like it was such a baby reason to lose sleep but law seemed to be taking it seriously

Law looked at me before saying softer then usual "if you'd like you can sleep in my room that might help" I blinked looking at him shocked as I said "you'd let me sleep in your room so I'm less lonely at night?" Law said in a very serious tone "if you think it would help you sleep better then yes, you are a member of my crew, I care about you're health and sleep is a very important part of that" I smiled at him saying "thank you law" when he looked away I didn't miss the slight blush on his cheeks

I was setting next to Doflamingo on our bed as he held the puppy in one hand, the puppy was desperately trying to bite at him like he personally caused all the problems in her life, Doffy spoke up looking over at me and saying "Darling why do you want to keep this annoying little pest" I gasped dramatically as I reached over taking the puppy from him as I said "she's not a pest she's an absolute sweetheart" and as if to prove my point she calmed down the moment I started holding her, now she was acting sweet as can be as I petted her. I said "see you just have to be nice and she'll like you, here trying petting her gently"

Even if I couldn't see it I had a feeling Doflamingo was rolling his eyes under those glasses, still despite looking annoyed at the suggestion he still reached over to pet the dog and the moment he got close enough for the puppy to bite she did, I chuckled at the sight of that tiny puppy biting one of Doffys fingers, it looked ridiculous because of how big Doffy is

Doflamingo pulled his hand back scoffing, he glared at the puppy saying "see! Even when I try to be nice that ungrateful little thing still dislikes me"

I pet the dog saying "well dogs are a great judge of character, maybe it can just tell you're evil" Doflamingo glared at me as he crossed his arms saying "oh you don't seem to think I'm evil when I'm buying you stuff, or did you forget who buys that evil little thing it's food" I pouted looking down at the puppy as I said in a baby voice "I think you're right sweetie he is evil and big evil flamingo" I heard Doflamingo shift on the bed as the puppy started to growl at him, I suddenly felt one of his arms wrap around my waist pulling me into his chest

Doflamingo laid his head on mine saying "see and now that stupid creature is getting in between us, let's just get rid of it" I could tell even if he wouldn't edmit Doffy was jealous of all the attention I was giving the puppy, I huffed "we're not getting rid of her" He sighed before picking her up and standing "fine but she's not sleeping in our room" He walked to the door opening it and throwing the little puppy out, I got up quickly to make sure she was okay as I said "Doffy be gentle with her!"

I walked past him going to pick the puppy up snuggling her before saying "she's definitely sleeping in the room now" I walked past him into the room as Doflamingo scoffed unhappy, despite that he didn't say anything

It was a week later when I came home with a large flamingo dog toy, when Doflamingo saw it he asked with crossed arms "what is that?" I smiled saying "it's a dog toy, I thought giving her a different big pink bird to hate might make her like you more" I looking down at the puppy at his feet biting his shoes and barking like she thought if she tried hard enough she could take down that ten foot tall man, I crouched down holding that toy saying "Sweetie look what I got you" the puppy stopped biting Doflamingo for a second looking at the flamingo then looking at Doflamingo like she couldn't decide which one she wanted to beat up more, after a second she stared biting Doffy again like he was the greater of two evils, I laughed looking up at Doffy and saying "she really hates you" He scoffed saying "she's not sleeping in our room tonight, she keeps trying to fight my coat" I giggled saying "Fine fine no room tonight"

The next day when me and Doffy got up we could hear her tiny claws scratching at the door, I looked up at Doflamingo from his chest saying sleepy "she really wants in" He scoffed rubbing my back gently as he said "leave that little monster out side" I chuckled saying "she's not a monster" I chuckled saying "you've clearly never met her" I smacked his chest lightly as I sat up "be nice she's sweet... to every one but you" Doffy said "I did nothing to that dog" I giggled saying "I know Doffy" I leaned down to kiss his head gently before saying "well I'm going to let her in" I got out of the bed quickly heading to the door opening it the puppy quickly came up to me jumping on me happily, I stopped when I looked out side the door where she was, I chuckled at the sight

To explain how I ended up in this situation we'd have to go back five minutes, as the crews sous chef and waiter, mostly waiter due to how well Sanji ran his kitchen even by himself, I was helping out in the kitchen handing him things when he needed them, grabbing spices for him, and helping cut things up as needed, you know all the things a good sous chef does, as I was finishing up cleaning up as we went Sanji called out to me

"Beautiful come here"

I turned to look at Sanji finishing up really quickly before making my way over to him as he plated up some of the food he planned to serve for lunch before handing the plates to me, saying softly as he did "can you run these for me?" I nodded grabbing the plates as I said "of course" as I turned to leave the kitchen with the plates Sanji said "Thank you beautiful"

I started walking to the door but before I could reach it I tripped, luckily for me Sanji caught me before I could hit the ground, sadly the food wasn't so lucky which is how I ended up here looking at the food Sanji put so much effort in on the floor and it was my fault, my thoughts where broken by Sanji saying my name and asking worryingly "are you okay sweetheart?"

I looked at him nodding as I said "Yeah yeah I'm okay" I stood back on my feet so Sanji wouldn't have to hold me, I said apologetically before Sanji could say anything else "I'm so so sorry about the food Sanji I didn't mean to drop it" I was very worried he was going to be upset at me

Sanji was looking me over making sure I was okay saying gently "hey its fine don't worry about the food I'm just glad you're okay" I looked at him surprised he told me not to get upset about the food "but I ruined it"

Sanji put a hand on my arm gently rubbing it to try and ease my worry, he said "It's fine really you didn't ruin anything" I looked at him like he's crazy because in my mind he was being crazy, I said very confused "what do you mean I didn't ruin it, it's on the floor Sanji" He looked at me dead serious and said "Luffy will still eat it so I'm not worried"

I paused because he was right, despite my guilt about the situation he was right, I've seen Luffy eat just about anything, raw, poison, dirty, really anything it did not matter if Luffy was hungry, I took a second before saying "I still feel bad that I dropped it"

Sanji brought a hand to my face cupping it gently as he said "Don't its fine really, I know it was just an accident" He leaned in kissing my head gently, I muttered "thanks for not getting mad Sanji" He chuckled muttering against my head "at you beautiful? Never" after a minute of us standing there peaceful he pulled back as he did I smiled at him saying "you know if you keep being this sweet I just might fall for you"

That fun little character trait of the love of my life is how I ended up here in matching duck pajamas in our duck bed watching a duck soap opera as he told me about Sir Quackington and his lover, I watched him as he explained the apparently very plot heavy twelve seasons I missed, though lucifer assured me not to feel to sad about what I missed because he had it all on tape and we would be watching all of it so I was caught up with the lore

I was laying on my side watching him as he talked about the ducks compacted relationship, I hummed not really paying that much attention at that point, now don't get me wrong I loved encouraging lucifer hobbies and passions but right now I just wanted to appreciate how pretty my boyfriend was when he rants about ducks

Lucifer turned away from the TV to look at me, he asked "are you listening Ducky?"

I blinked registering what he was saying before nodding saying "of course I am"

Lucifer hummed before asking "if you were listening then where did they share their first kiss?" I responded with a string of sounds that did in fact not make an answer, lucifer said "see I knew you weren't listening" Lucifer held a finger up saying "and for you're information their first kiss was by the lake at sunset"

I couldn't help but think 'of course it was their ducks why did I guess that' I conceded saying "okay okay I wasn't listening you got me" lucifer said "Ducky this is important information" I smiled at him saying "but I wanted to admire how pretty you are" lucifers face flushed gold as he looked at me like he was still getting used to be complimented even though it wasn't a new thing for him at all, after a second he seemed to recover from the unexpected compliment smirking as he leaned closer and saying "of course you'd know what's pretty Ducky because you're gorgeous" my face heated up as I looked away, lucifer chuckled leaning closer before putting a hand on my cheek to turn my head back towards him, he smiled before leaning in and kissing my cheek

I giggled as lucifer kept peppering my face in kisses, I said between my giggles "Lu stop that" there wasn't really any bite behind those words and lucifer knew that so he responded "Not a chance Ducky this is your punishment for not listening" I put a hand on his arm as he kept kissing all over my face as I giggled
