It’s your one year anniversary with your lovers!
CW: Fluff/cussing/established relationships/the exchange of ‘i love you’s’
You smear the lipstick against your puckered lips, popping them together. You sit back to admire the elegant dress you wore, fluttering your eyelashes at your own reflection.
Sanji said he wanted you to go somewhere with you… He’d been hinting at a romantic outing…
“Ahh, Mon Chéri !” Your lover said passionately, he pushed a magazine closer to you
"Aren't the city lights of this island beautiful..?” He smiled
The magazine showed illuminated buildings in the night, giant rain puddles on the streets, contrasting with the many cars in traffic with many headlights on.
“Very…” you chuckle and hand back the folded paper
He leaned down and pressed a gentle kiss to the temple on your head, before asking if you needed anything to drink.
What could he be planning? You ask yourself, he’d always been the lover type… big and flashy, always making sure you knew you were loved. But, this was your first anniversary! You both knew it had to be special; That’s what you hoped he thought at least.
Slipping on your shoes, the familiar sound of Sanji’s dress shoes appeared in your shared room's doorway
“It’s like Romeo seeing Juliet for the first time…”
He says, his arms crossed with his shoulder perched on the door frame
“Well hello to you too… flirt”
“Not a flirt… just know what I got”
He pushed off the door and came closer, snaking his arms around your waist. “Come on… let's go…” he takes your hand before kissing your forehead, chaté lips warming your body
“Alright…” you whisper back wrapping an arm around his, the suit jacket soft against your hands.
The ship had stopped this morning, and Nami could barely find a port to dock at.
The island was noisy with people, the two of you stepped off and headed into the crowded city.
The moonlight brightened the foreign streets, and tall buildings surrounded you from every corner. Flashing lights from advertisements promoted. Large billboards showed
You were excited, a nice place to listen to music? A good meal? Alone time…?
You were snapped out of your thoughts as Sanji stopped,
“Hmm?” you look up at him, the adoration evident in his eyes as he looked down
“Were here..” he murmured, looking away from you almost painfully to gander at the tall establishment in front of you, it looked like it was straight out of a movie.
The word “Éternelle” branded on the front above the twin glass doors.
“Don't be shy…” Sanji laughed going in the lead, your hand still holding onto him tightly.
The inside smelled like rich vanilla candles, the floor was velvet red, and the waiters moved gracefully with matching suits across the room.
“How can we help you?” One of the well-dressed men asked you two.
“We have a reservation” Your blond quips
“… Vinsmoke? Top floor today…” he continues
“Oh!” The man looks up from his paper’s eyes widened a little bit “Right this way lovebirds..!” His face relaxes after a quick second, his remark putting a slight pink hue on your cheeks.
You and Sanji follow the man to an elevator adorned with gold markings,
“A waiter will be with you soon…”
The doors shut, it's just you and him now, his colone is strong and he's swaying himself gently back and forth.
You hum and lean into him, he returns the touch pressing his chin to the top of your head.
The elevator dings open, and golden doors reveal the view of a lifetime, the moon in the sky without a cloud in sight, the stars more visible than ever before. A single table stood by the edge of the roof’s railing. With no one else on the rooftop in sight You let go of Sanji’s arm to walk out of the elevator, and he follows suit.
The city lay below you, citizens of the island doing whatever they were, and cars honked while street lights directed them. The movement of the people outside of the little mom and pop shops had you entranced
“Like it?” He asks, a singular deep red rose in his hand,
“Uhm…” you take a shallow breath as he reaches to put the rose into your ear, the thorns clipped off already.
“Its almost as pretty as you…” His smile is so charming it hurts,
“This is a French restaurant…” he says, handing you a menu a candle lit in the middle, a bottle of expensive wine already at the table accompanied by elegant wine glasses.
The absence of people was surprisingly peaceful, just you and your lover picking out what to eat.
You finished your food, pushing it aside
“Thank you… This was delicious”
You say, taking a sip of your dark drink.
“Of course…” he says “finished?” He stood up, coming around, your heart starting to race
“Take my hand…” he says smiling cunningly as a violin starts playing from your right.
A gentleman you had not seen accompanied by two more, one with a big golden instrument and one with a dashing blue hat.
He pulls you up when your skin makes contact,
“My love…” he starts, both your feet moving along with the music.
You two dance, your bodies taking the initiative to move how they want
“I cannot imagine a world without you… You are my swinging lover! I would give everything up for you…”
He spins you, the angelic voice from both the hat man and Sanji entrance you like a siren calling a sailor out to sea, simply irresistible.
“I want our future to be filled with roses and wine forever… with moments that will be etched into our minds… I want the world to know how much you mean to me…”
He puts a single finger over your mouth, grinning
“How much I love you…” He says turning you on your heels to look out to the city.
After a second the wisping sound of fire works are heard,
Big bright booms fill your vision
Your favourite colours spread across the sky like a painting.
The feel of cold metal wraps around your neck, Sanji hooks a shining necklace around you, your chest couldn't get any warmer, but it just did.
The last firework is a heart, the initials of your first names in cursive planted in the middle.
You stopped breathing at this point astonished, trying not to shed tears you turn to Sanji and hug him, your face buried into the clean collar of his shirt
“Hey..!” He laughs, hugging you back, the music players have left by now.
He sighs, resting his chin on top of your head
“Happy… one year.” He says quietly into your hair.
Zoro flipped his tie for the millionth time, the knot somehow split into two.
He groaned and turned to Sanji
The cook had been instructing him on how to dress properly
Because apparently going in pants and no shirt isn’t socially acceptable.
Sanji’s hands quickly made work of his tie, folding it over gracefully
“Too tight idiot!” Zoro snapped when Sanji pushed the knot up
Sanji stepped back and smiled
“Look at you… trying for once..”
Zoro shot him a grumpy look.
Zoro had no idea what to do for your anniversary, so he went to the rest of the crew.
Nami showed him nice jewellery, nice restaurants, swooning over it himself.
Sanji taught him proper etiquette and how to present himself in front of you and others.
Usopp told him some swift lines to get you flustered.
And he asked Luffy what he would do-so he knew what not to do.
With his notes, he created a plan.
Zoro tugged on his collar, sighing.
He really had no idea what he was doing.
But he knew he needed to make this amazing for you! Something spectacular..
You walked out of your room, in a tight-fitted casual dress with heels, and a small handbag wrapped around your wrist.
“Zorooo?” You called out, turning the corner to see him talking with Nami, presumably scolding him over something, definitely some last-minute tips with a disgruntled frown on his face.
Your voice caught his attention, frown subconsciously turning around, abandoning Nami with a relaxed breath he looms in front of you
“Ready?” He asked, his hands quickly coming to your waist, something that was foreign to both of you.
“Yeah.. I'm ready..” you respond, starting to walk before him,
You had been excited for today, wondering what kind of restaurant it was, maybe something interactive, or maybe you weren’t going to dinner at all..! Maybe you were going out to dance away in a jazz concert with a bunch of old people..!
The suit he was wearing was odd… definitely borrowed it from Sanji, maybe even Brook?
The island they were on wasn't anything special, as you walked through the streets people bumped into you both, staggering you. The setting sun was leaving but nonetheless hot against your skin.
“Its… a silver building…” Zoro said over the clamour of people.
You nod your head in acknowledgement, tightly holding onto him.
The building was, indeed silver, people crowded around in attire similar to your own.
“Mmh… it's so crowded..” you say
“Thats alright…” Zoro murmured “The… more the merrier?” he strangled out with a swallow pulling his collar away from his neck
Zoro, was, trying to find the silver lining? He said the building was silver, but you didn't know it was contagious
(That's not a very good quip idk how to do this writing thing)
You two head into the building, Zoro looks around, standing on his toes to look over people's heads to figure out where to be seated.
You follow suit, turning to see a person with a device in their hand… along with a line that could wrap around the world twice.
“Uhm… babe?” you murmur, tugging on his sleeve
“Hmm?” he hums his eyes following to where you pointed
The back of your heels had started to peel off and you haven’t even sat down yet.
You and Zoro stayed silent while waiting in the line, the air was so thick you could cut it with a knife, zoro’s throat bobbed with awkwardness.
Zoro quickly grew agitated at the staff, trying not to say something rude
This wasn’t going very well, Zoro thought, sweating through the layers of expensive clothing with an evident frown.
It was finally your turn to be seated at a small circular table.
Zoro pulled out your chair, clearing his throat Usopps words coming back.
“M-m lady?” He says as if it were a question
Your stomach turns upside down with the words that tumble out of his mouth
Zoro was sitting across from you…
He bit in small sections, picking up only what he could muster up to eat
“Is it… Good?” You raise an eyebrow almost accusatively
It was disgusting, Sanji told him to order something gentle, nothing that could ‘make a mess on the lady!’
Zoro just wanted alcohol, he gazed up at your questioning face, looking for any kind of reaction to see if he was doing good…
You shift uncomfortably in your seat, reaching for the wine glasses someone behind you knocks you with their ass, the glass stays in contact when it hits your lap, but the dark red wine soaks your dress.
You shoot up out of your seat
Zoro drops his fork almost happily and reaches for the napkin on his lap, coming around to try and desperately to clean up the mess.
“Its… fine… its going to be stained anyways…” You sigh in defeat, stepping back to have him let go of you
He was trying to help you, he pulls on his collar once again
“Don't get prissy with me…”
You whip your head around, eyebrows furrowed upwards
“Scuse me?” You place your hands on your hips, the frustration within yourself rising.
“I was…” he cut himself off, taking a deep breath
“trying to help…” he said strained
“Never said you weren't..!” you snap back, people around you start to gaze and become distracted from their plates
“I-ill wait outside…” You say, picking up your bag to walk away from the table..
The night wind is cold on your skin, regret washing over you
Your chest starts to hurt,
Leaving him inside was bad, yelling at him was bad… embarrassing him in a public setting when he went out of his comfort zone…
Nothing has been good so far, the suit that didn't fit him, the words he said to you, this dumb restaurant that had you shoulder to shoulder with people.
After a couple of minutes, Zoro finds you outside, head down zoning out on the pavement.
He stood in front of you, the view of his feet snapping you out of your thoughts.
He doesn't say anything; instead, he pulls you into a hug, large arms wrapping around you, forcefully burying your face into his chest, he leans down taking a deep breath, inhaling the scent of your shampoo
“Sorry…” he whispers, your own arms snaking around him
“Its okay…” you respond quietly “im sorry too…” you close your eyes
“Lets… go get good food…” he says strangled a tint on his cheeks,
He takes your hand and starts to walk down the street, his other hand coming to pull his tie off of him and unbutton his shirt
“Sorry… it was… super uncomfortable..”
“Thats okay…” you hum “you look better… without the suit..”
The blush comes back to his cheeks “whatever…”
You smile and giggle a little
The streets are empty and quiet, the lively atmosphere of the restaurant fading out as you guys progress
“Something wrong?” He asks as you lean down
“Oh…” he murmurs in response, taking them from your hand.
The blood goes to your face
“You don’t have to carry them-“
“I want to…” he cuts you off, nothing flirty about his words;
He starts to head down the street again.
A little shop on the corner is illuminated with signs that read “open!”
“You… wanna go in?” He asks as you two near the shop
“Sure…” you take the lead, the counter has an old guy at the register who greets you kindly with a smile
“What do you want?” You ask Zoro who’s behind you
You two sit on a park bench, eating the freshly bought Onigiri together, laughing about something stupid, probably how this was better than Sanji could ever make…
“Happy… anniversary baby…” he says quietly, using his free hand to push you closer to him.
“Happy anniversary…” you repeat, closing your eyes and leaning your head against him.
Today, was your one-year anniversary with Luffy,
Maybe you would spend the night together, or eat dinner alone… probably not, Luffy isn’t one for big dates anyways, you’d be surprised if he’d remembered.
So, you were happily surprised when Luffy told you that he wanted to go out to the island you just stopped at with you alone.
When you were out earlier the sun's rays scorched your skin,
So you chose out a tank top and matching skirt, along with some sunscreen, accompanied by a little travel bag.
Stepping out into the sun, Luffy yells for you, his voice booming
“Youu readyy?” He shouts from where he is, already on the island
You trot down the ship's stairs, to the railing “coming!”
You can't wait for this, hanging out with your lover on your anniversary,
This is going to be amazing!
Luffy stretches out his arms to grab you around the waist
“W-wait!” You say before flying through the air, landing in Luffy’s arms as he laughs.
You sit up, knees threatening to give out
“W-what the hell…?” You huff, hands coming up to try and fix your hair, threading your hands through the strands.
“Wait up!” You huff following after him.
The island is lush with plants, bright flowers and thick trees
“Where are we going Luffy?” You ask, stepping over a fallen branch
“We’re exploring!” He says enthusiastically, not bothering to turn back and look at you.
“Okay!” You repeat, “fun!”
You giggle hurriedly walking to be next to him.
“Soo… we exploring anywhere specific?”
You hum, trying to act nonchalantly, looking him in the eyes to see if he gets the innuendo.
“Nope! Just… going into the forest…”
“Youre awfully weird” he says playfully
“Say’s you” you roll your eyes.
You two continue on into the forest, it gets denser and denser as you go.
You stop, a gorgeous flower catching your eye,
“Isint this flower pretty Luffy?”
You say, running your fingers across the soft petals.
“Mmh… yeah I guess so…” he murmurs, uninterested
You sigh and pull the flower out of the ground, putting it in your hair
“Why did you do that?” He questions, raising an eyebrow.
“Because it was nice…” you mumble, turning away slightly.
Luffy almost ignores you entirely as he turns on his sandaled heels away from you.
A low growl comes from you, catching up with him once again you start to talk about the plants and birds you’ve seen.
Luffy responds with either his own story or brushes you off…
Talking to him has never been this hard, hes acting like you dont exist! Why even bring you out here in the first place..?!
Desperate to make actual conversation, you bring up what's been on your mind.
“You know Luffy… we’ve been together for a long time…” you smile
“Hmm… I guess so” he responds, shoving his hands in his pockets.
“You know how long?” You try to edge him on
Your breath hitches “uh huh…” you frown, “that's okay… its..” you strangle out “one year… today…”
“Really? Nice!” He smiled, his eyes drifting upwards
“Oh-! Look!” His rubber arm points up at a tree, a fruit can be seen dangling low on one of the thick branches which presumably distracted him.
His devil-fruit affected arm reaches up and grips onto it, flying it back to him.
“Think we can eat it?” He says, mouth already gnawing on the outside
You sigh “maybe…” the hope slowly disappearing.
After a second of silence you speak again
“Luffy, I might go back to the ship…”
He whips his head in your direction as you say that
“But..! We're out exploring..!” He frowns abandoning the fruit on the ground
You're cut off by him grabbing your legs, hoisting you up onto his shoulders
“Luffy..!” You giggle surprised at his sudden expression.
He smiles at your laugh “cmon… just a little longer..”
“Pleasse?” He pouts at you, his hands tightening on your thighs.
How could you resist a face like that? So cute and idiotic..
“Fine… fine!” You sigh, one of your hands coming to his hair, scruffing it slightly.
“Mmh ho mh…” luffys hummed the lyrics you thought were binks brew, but he quickly corrected you.
“No..! That's not it… it's the song Robin plays at dinner!”
He grumbled, gently patting your side at the same time.
You come to what seemed to be a stop, the path covered with vines,
“Were here!” Luffy says, setting you down, a hand coming to hold yours,
Moving forwards he pushes
“Were here? Where?” You narrow your eyes as he pushes the vines away.
grassy section surrounded by white flowers, a fawn looking at the both of you,
A beam of bright sun accentuated the blanket set up with a basket in the middle of all of it.
“Whats… this…?” You ask, stepping forward
“Suprise!” Luffy yells, startling you a bit
“I know I like suprises… so why don't I give one of my favorite things a suprise…!” He pulls you along, falling into a cross legged position
“Im not a thing” you giggle sitting down next to him, his body hurrys behind yours, wrapping his rubbery arms around you.
“Sorry I kept ignoring you… I can't keep suprises..! It was the only way!” He said peppering kisses on the top of your head, simultaneously reaching for the basket, pulling out a sandwich for you, and meat on a stick for him.
“You think with your stomach…” you murmur
“Sorry..!” He laughs, food already in his mouth, chewing abrasively
Birds tweeted overhead as you two enjoyed your meal together
“Oh..! And happy anniversary!”
