|| Current || Next || Part 3 ||
-------------------------------------------------------
- Ace is always groggy to wake up in the mornings, as much as he knows he has responsibilities, maybe a few minutes wonβt hurt too bad.
βMan, wish I could stay here all dayβ
- Ace very much pulls you close to his chest, savouring the moment, burying his face in your hair, before he feels one of your hairs tickle his nose and he ends up sneezing. Itβs not the most assuring way to be woken up with the smell of fire and smoke, but, well, seems like Ace has sneezed and accidentally set his side of the duvet on fire when he turned his head.
- You decide to let Ace deal with it, he made it, this is his mess to fix and his problem now.
- Ace always cuddles you with his arm rested around your shoulders, your head rested against his chest. Ace always snores loudly, laying on his back and without fail, theres always a bit of drool thatβs at the corner of his mouth when he sleeps.
- If he forgets to pull his hat off? It always covers half of his face when heβs asleep. Sometimes it slips off and lands on your head and Ace panics in the morning because he canβt feel it on his head. When he doesnβt forget to pull his hat off? Itβs always rested on the nightstand, or itβs on the floor.
βAlright, up we get, we need to go y/nβ
- He always just hoists you up over his shoulder to drag you out of bed. Though. Sometimes you have to drag Ace by the ankles out of bed because hes a stubborn bastard.
-------------------------------------------------------
- Marco has gotten used to waking up early with his responsibility as both first mate and doctor. Thereβs always something happening on the Moby Dick that needs his attention, however, by some damn miracle, theres no urgent matter that needs to be tended to this morning. Marco has an early morning alarm clock thatβs ingrained in him, however, that doesnβt stop him from holding you for a bit longer whilst he waist for you to wake up.
- Marcoβs mythical zoan devil fruit always comes out a bit whilst he sleeps, another habit, there are times where he has fallen asleep and his phoenix tails rest by your legs, either curling around your ankles or just being a warm presence for you whilst you sleep.
- If youβre ever hurt or sick? Marco will pull you into his arms and let the phoenix flames curl around you, letting you bury your face in his chest is the flames are too bright for you whilst your trying to fall asleep.
βToo bright? Yeah, they always are, here, put your head on my chest, might block out the light a bit, yoiβ
- Sometimes Marcoβs phoenix wings come out when heβs asleep, they are actually very soft so you are not complaining when they rest across you. But, Marco always stretches in the morning, specifically his arms as he likes to crack his shoulders for some relief because of his devil fruit being out whilst he sleeps. In doing so? When he stretches his wings, they do have a habit of knocking his glasses off of the nightstand, so the doctor of the Whitebeard pirates does spend quite a few minutes of the morning trying to find where his glasses have gone.
-------------------------------------------------------
- Law sleeps in bouts, so heβs usually awake long before you are, either due to staying up for the entire night, or he just wakes up early. Law is usually reading when you are asleep, glasses resting on the end of his nose as he keeps his back against the headboard of his bed. Heβs not the biggest cuddler, heβs a man that likes his own space, but that doesnβt mean he wont ever give affection. Affection with law is typically given when your alone, after all, the last time he openly started caring about someone? They were shot multiple times and killed.
- Sometimes when you wake up, you can feel Lawβs thumb brushing over your knuckles and your hand or the back of your neck, if you can somehow convincingly pretend that youβre still asleep? You can even hear him quietly muttering about the muscles and nerves that belong to where heβs currently tracing.
- Law always sleeps on his back, usually he rests his hands over his chest, or his hand is usually rested next to yours whilst you sleep, sometimes your fingers are entwined together when heβs dead asleep. Maybe his grip tightens when you try and pull away.
βMorning, y/n-ya. Sleep well?β
- Heβd mutter in that tired morning voice.
- Law would always ask, he always slept better when you were by his side, your very presence sometimes making the nights spent staring up at the ceiling better. Though, Law has found himself having to remind you that as much as you want to stay up with him until he falls asleep, sometimes he needs the quiet and its also unhealthy for you to be up for the majority of the night.
-------------------------------------------------------
- Much like Marco, it would be very rare for you and Killer to get a peaceful morning, well, its pretty much never, but lets pretend by some miracle that this morning is one of those impossible chances you have a bit of peace.
- Killer keeps his mask on when he sleeps, he trusts you but there are boundaries that he has which you must respect, no matter how long youβve known him. Killer hates the idea of revealing his face when heβs awake, to reveal it whilst asleep feels like something that he will never do.
- Killer always rests his arm over your waist, he sleeps on his side and keeps you close to his chest. Laying on his side is just more comfortable for Killer. Killer makes sure that his helmet is rested on the makeshift pillow so he doesnβt accidentally headbut you with the damn thing during the night, he has grown to find it comfortable, but it is still a hard material that can break skulls.
- Killer keeps his weapons by his bed constantly, his hand sometimes twitches near them whilst heβs asleep on instinct, the kid pirates have been attacked whilst they were sleeping before and since that moment, he always keeps his blades by his bed near the mattress slots. Besides, he can also throw them if the one quiet morning that heβs gotten is interrupted, heβd throw that blade at the door if it was anyone but Kid who had interrupted him.
"How long do we think we can get away with this?...I reckon another two minutes...Good target practice"
- His muffled voice comes through the mask.
- Killersβ breathing is always at a rhythmic pace, heβs learned how to control his breathing for decades, either as a form of meditation or because he just breathes like that.
-------------------------------------------------------
- Mihawk is a night owl, but he understands the importance of sleep. Though at the Kuriguana island, itβs hard to tell when it is day and when it is night because of the eternal darkness that the island is in. Itβs called gloomy island for a reason after all.
- Mihawk isnβt the cuddly type, he will hold your hand when you sleep, entwining your fingers before he lets his eyes shut.
- Mihawk is a book reader before bed, its become a good bit of gossip between the both of you to pick apart either the writing or some of the annoying characters that are put forward, you both make wagers of whatβs going to happen in the chapter to see if its predictable and you both definitely have a bingo card.
- Thereβs a massive bookcase of old notes that were left behind by the previous owner of the castle along with great thick tomes of either badly written love stories or old lore of the island. Youβve both started to put parts of the history together about the ruins and the castle owners, and Mihawk does enjoy a good mystery.
βGood morning, the lupins should have flowered this morning, do you wish to go see them?β
- Mihawkβs voice is always quiet in the mornings, he isnβt a morning person, not at all, he prefers the night much more than the day. Sometimes he brings up breakfast in bed, other days sometimes you bring it up for him. You can both cook and therefore share the responsibilities. When he cooks? You wash up, when you cook? He washes up.
-------------------------------------------------------
- With the hot climate of Alabasta Kingdom at the Baroque works headquarters, feeling a cold gold hook around your stomach is very good, if not slightly threatening, maybe its a tool to help your heatstroke, or maybe its a threat of death if you leave the embrace before Crocodile lets you.
"Tch, you are able to stay on your own side of the bed, you do know that right? Rather than latching onto me like a damn barnacle".
- Hed scowl but he secretly likes it.
- If you are actually very cold during the desert nights? Crocodile will never admit it but he will quietly pull his cloak around you to make sure that you arenβt shivering, definitely because the movement of you shivering keeps him awake, not because heβs worried.
- Crocodile lets you rest on the side of his body that has a hook, he canβt really feel it due to the numbness so he doesnβt mind you resting there, anywhere else and he may turn away from you during the night because sleeping beside someone sometimes irritates him.
- Itβs extremely rare for Crocodile to ever stay during the morning, usually you wake up with his side of the bed empty, especially when there has been a new development in the world, Crocodile is always preparing and trying to figure out the next move that he needs to take in order to achieve his goal.
- On the rare moments that Crocodile does stay? He always has a cigar lit in the morning, breathing out the smoke to the side.
