#luffygal

boyfriend luffy that comes up behind you and bites ur cheek to express his overwhelming affection

boyfriend luffy that calls you the most stupid sappy nicknames he makes up on the spot (best-ever in history and forever-girlfriend) or a simple bunny, pretty, or angel

boyfriend luffy that tugs on your hair (if you’re wearing it up) to get your attention

cw: fem!reader, lowk just me thirsting over luffy, sfw

you were an invaluable member of the straw hat pirates, having joined up with the crew in the east blue, right after usopp. the situation with nami at arlong park only stood to solidify the crews bond, and before you knew it, you were entering the grand line with this ragtag group of teenagers, reaching for their dreams. sanji fawned over you and nami, who very much took advantage of his infatuation. little did anyone on the crew know, you had an ulterior motive for joining this odd gang:

monkey d. luffy was cute.

it's almost like he knew it too. like running around the going merry with usopp was a tactical decision with the sole purpose of bringing a grin to your face and squeeze to your chest. as if his honest, kind, and loyal nature only served to make you imagine what it would be like if he was your boyfriend.

it certainly didn't help when luffy would corner you personally on the ship. being the type of person he is, luffy can never spend too much time with one person, and with a crew of his own, he bounced (literally) from one crewmate to the next. whatever you would be doing, he would disregard and move his head directly in front of your face to take up your entire field of vision. sanji would yell at the captain from wherever he is, but you would disregard his protests with a non-committal wave of your hand and bashful giggle, not taking your eyes off of luffys. the invasion of personal space was accepted with open arms.

in the grand line, islands came and went, princess vivi and chopper boarded the merry, and the crew set a course for alabasta to take down a warlord. the dread slowly set in to your bones as you realized what luffy had set out to do.

it was on the back of a pervert camel, traveling through the hot desert of alabasta, when nami and vivi were clued into these feelings you held for the captain.

"...luffy? as in our captain? that stretchy bozo? well... whatever floats your boat, i guess." nami thought you could have done better, but with the other options on the going merry being zoro, sanji, and usopp... in her opinion, it could be worse.

"i never thought of luffy as the type to express romantic interest..." vivi wonders aloud, grateful to have been able to take her mind off of the current state of her country.

you sighed at her comment. "thats my problem, i don't think he can. but come on, have you seen luffys muscles?" if you weren't already fanning yourself because of the alabasta heat, you would have fanned yourself to cool down just from the thought of the captains lean musculature.

nami let out a snort, a mix of exasperation and amusement. "stop, you might overheat." vivi herself was just glad to have some girl talk, a temporary reprieve from her stress.

"you like my muscles?" came a voice from beside the camel, causing you and the other two girls to jolt in surprise. luffy walked alongside the pervert camel, his pinkie finger prodding at the inside of his nose as if he hadn't heard you fawn over him.

"luffy! stop doing that!" nami scolded, which was all the threat luffy needed to take his finger out of his nose. you were mortified, hoping from the bottom of your soul that luffy wouldn't connect the dots from what he heard. "hey, answer my question!" the captain whined at you, a mix of the oppressive heat and his curiosity making him impatient.

it's now or never, you supposed. "i mean... yeah?"

"why?"

"i like a lot of things about you, luffy." you said, almost too soft.

"...hm." luffy hummed thoughtfully. he might've responded as well, if not for zoro and sanji causing a scene over who has to carry chopper. in their scuffle, sand was kicked into luffys eye, making him join in the fray.

you let out a shaky breath, both relieved and frustrated with the ending of the moment. vivi sent an encouraging look to you, while nami had a teasing glint in her eye.

as night fell over the desert and the crew set up camp, you found yourself shivering despite the fire. luffy, with his usual lack of personal space, plopped down next to you, yet there was a certain anticipation in the air.

"what do you like about me?" he asked suddenly, yet not so loud that everyone will hear.

you'd gone over this list dozens of times in your head, yet in the moment, it didn't feel long enough. "your smile. your laugh. your kindness. your loyalty. your muscles." you said the last bit with a small bit of teasing to mask the admission.

luffy was silent for a moment again, until he said what he was probably going to say earlier before the interruption. "i think you're really pretty. and funny. and sweet. i like when you smile, too." his genuine words made your heart swell so much you thought you could have seen the outline of it through your rib cage.

you leaned your side against his, letting his warmth seep through his clothing to you. luffy turned his head to you, an almost excited look in his eyes. "is this where we kiss?" it took everything in you not to crash your lips against his in that moment. instead, your smile grew so much that it crinkled the corners of your eyes. "how about we do that after you beat crocodile and save alabasta?"

luffy pouted. "but i already know i'm gonna beat him!"

cw: fem!reader, sfw

a/n: can you tell some of this is inspired by the current heat wave in cali

luffy is the number one pda enjoyer, whether you like it or not.

if he isn't draped over you in some way, he's dying (sulking).

every new island the crew explores, luffy is dragging you to get some food. you then promptly get kicked out for luffy making the other patrons uncomfortable with how his stretchy body is wrapped around you like a snake and scarfing down food as if it was his first time ever eating.

on hot days he still refuses to relinquish his hold on you. luffy would wrap his arms around your waist as you lay on the bed, sweating and trying to squirm away.

"it's hot!" he whined, burying his face into your side. his sweaty forehead left a wet spot on your top.

"it'll be less hot if you stop clinging on to me." you whined back, the heat throwing out all semblance of patience as you tried to pry him off.

"but you make everything better!" luffy pouted, his large, brown eyes genuine.

"...you're lucky i like you."

holding hands is nice, but too boring for him. luffy needs to be attached to you. but since he can't really do that, the closest alternatives are the following grips:

lap pillow - luffy will flop his head down onto your lap after a long day of work (playing with usopp and chopper) and demand your attention. and he knows that you, his girlfriend, couldn't say no to him if you wanted to. extra points if you have longer nails to rake through his hair, luffy will conk out immediately.

locked arms - when exploring a new place, luffy makes sure your arms are interlocked. to him, it feels more secure than just holding hands. another plus is that it makes you walk closer together, but he keeps that reasoning a secret. you're astutely aware of why luffy prefers this so much from the elation on his face, but you let him have this win.

broke boyfriend hug - when you're paying for luffys food at a vendor, he'll hug you from behind and eye the food that the cashier is ringing up. he does get a little bit of drool on your shoulder.(if you don't know what this is search it up pls lmao its so funny😭)

cuddling at night is also an ordeal. luffy is a snorer, drooler, and kicker.

you and luffy could go to sleep in a comfy position, your head on his chest, cuddled up against his side, his arm encircling your waist. but by morning, there's a high chance he's tossed you off the bed.

as sun streams onto your face, you shift, only to find a sharp pain in your neck. you groan and roll over to your back, and find that you're no longer on your shared bed, but on the wooden floor of you and luffys bedroom on the sunny.

you decide to just lay there for a moment, contemplating how every choice you've ever made has led you to being kicked off your own bed.

the blankets atop the bed shift, and suddenly, luffys head is peeking over the edge of the bed to where you lay on the floor.

"hey, what are ya doing down there? did ya find a beetle or something and not tell me?"

a/n: the selena song by this name is soooo him omg

moving to a new city was going to be rough, you knew this already. an entirely fresh start with a new school when it starts in the fall, new people, and new social ecosystem. but as your mother advised, it wouldn't be all bad.

the apartment you moved into was pretty beat up, but it seemed safe enough. younger kids playing in the courtyard eagerly waved to you and your mother, the new tenants.

apartment 513 was your new home.

you were carrying one of the last boxes left to unpack through the hallway to the unit, when some unseen person bumped into you, causing it to tumble from your hands.

you look up to see a sheepish smile and the sweetest brown eyes you could ever dream of.

"shishishi, sorry about that! you just moved, huh? let me help you!"

the boys grin is blinding, and you don't even get a word in before he's picking up the hefty box like nothing and practically bounding away.

you're barely able to catch up with him, and by the time you're both in the apartment, he's already snooping around curiously.

"oh-um, thank you! can i, uh... know your name?" you as as he's head first in your fridge that's still mostly empty. he comes up for air with a hotdog sausage.

"monkey d. luffy! i live in 512 with my brothers! what about you?" he asks curiously, tilting his head as he takes a bite of the stolen sausage.

you keep it brief, telling him your name and how you just moved here with your mom.

you can't help but admire luffys frame. his red basketball jersey leaves little to the imagination, lean frame pretty much on full display. his shaggy black hair is adorned with the cutest straw hat, rustling cinematically with the light breeze that comes through the open window.

he's somehow cute even while scarfing down a hotdog he stole from your barren fridge.

it's now or never. time to put on your best charm.

you take a step closer to him, playing with the strap of your tank top idly.

"would you mind showing me around?"

luffy is already eagerly grabbing your hand and dragging you out of the unit, past your very surprised mother.

he gives a very quick tour of his own unit, escaping before ace and sabo can interrogate him about the girl he just brought around.

as he tugs you through the hallways of the complex, he gives fleeting explanations of each tenant, some much more flattering than others.

down in the courtyard, he shows the hidden corners in which he hides his treasures (which end up being a collection of little trinkets.) you later find out how much if an honor it is to be shown the secret spots.

the sun is setting, an orange glow on the courtyard that casts the shadow of his long eyelashes across his face.

"um, thank you a lot. for, y'know, showing me around. it was very ... helpful." you smile up at him, swinging the hand that he is still holding back and forth.

"let's hang out again! no one here ever wants to hang out with me." he pouts, adorably.

you quickly decide to remedy that. "i'd love to! you can come over once all the boxes in my unit are unpacked. in the meantime... can i come over to your place?"

a grin that takes up his whole face is your answer.

~~

as summer continues, you find yourself spending about 85% of your time in luffys bed. not in that way, although you wouldn't complain, but simply playing video games, or talking to him, or cuddled up in his arms.

as you lay, alone, on your own bed, you let out a groan of frustration. what are you two? you spend all your time together, you've even spent the night! you for sure thought he was going to kiss you then, hut he knocked out as soon as he hit the bed. which you shared.

does he even want to be more? as far as you know, he is into girls. he just hasn't been into any girls for the time that you've known him, which you're thankful for.

maybe you should just be grateful for his friendship and stop vying for something more.

you're just about to settle into this more mature train of thought until he comes barreling into your room.

"hey! you were supposed to come to my place today." he pouts, kneeling at the edge of your bed.

"crap- sorry, i totally forgot! forgive me, wont you?" you plead as you drape yourself over him, clinging onto his shoulders.

his attempt at hiding the smile that wants to break out behind his stubborn pout is adorable. well, ugly, but in an adorable way.

he picks you up and practically bounds across the hall, tossing you onto his bed and jumping on top of you like a wwe fight.

your sort-of-boyfriend wraps around you securely, legs entangled and face pressed against your chest. out of habit, your hands go to play with his hair, your nails scratching his scalp in a way that makes hum melt and purr against you.

maybe you didn't need to be his girlfriend. maybe this was enough. just friends.

you're on this mature train of thought until once again, you're interrupted as the door busts open.

"luffy! what did we tell you about bringing your girlfriend over!" ace shouts, although the grin on his face tells you that he obviously isn't really angry. he just loves to disturb luffy while you're over.

"aaace!" luffy whines, not happy with the disruption. "to tell you guys..." he answers his brothers question with a pout, although he doesn't loosen his grip on you in the slightest.

the happy rainbows in your head are stills shooting lasers from being called luffys girlfriend, and the boy in question not denying it. you give a little wave from beneath your luffy blanket to ace, and to sabo who is in the doorway behind him happily watching it all go down.

ace rolls his eyes and shuts the door, but not before tossing a condom that luffy carelessly discards to the pile that is growing in his nightstand. this isn't the first time ace has done this, and it certainly isn't the last. but he's never outright called you luffy's girlfriend before.

but, why not? why shouldn't you take charge? it's now or never, and maybe you'll come out of this apartment unit with a boyfriend. or broken heart. you hope and hope for the former.

"so, luffy, quick question, is it cool if i like really officially actually was your girlfriend?" you ramble out, muscles tense beneath him.

luffy looks up at you, blankly.

"weren't you already?"

well, that would make more sense. you'll celebrate this win in a moment, for now you need answers.

"i was hoping so, but you never really officially asked me to be your girlfriend."

he narrows his eyes for a moment, visibly thinking.

"ohhh, you're right!" he grins, laughing at his own forgetfulness. "i totally thought i did! will you be my girlf–"

you can't wait any longer. the kiss is messy, with too much teeth, and you're both smiling into it too much for it to really be a kiss, but it's no matter.

making out with luffy really is an experience. he kisses like the air is toxic and your mouth is the only source of oxygen. his exploring hands make you breathless and ticklish at the same time. feeling up his abs could nearly make you faint.

sabo calls out that lunch is ready. luffy flinches against you, as if about to run off out of reflex. but in the same moment, he melts back against you, not ready to stop devouring your lips yet.

~~

no one else needs to know when you fell for each other. or where he hides his treasure. or how many condoms you two filled with yogurt to throw at his brothers.
