Lucci’s cookies

It's been a long time since I managed to write an OS and I am glad to be back again. Thank you for all the requests during my absence.

I hope you're all doing alright! Ps: I did not go missing because of Corona - I suddenly got some sort of a skin disease, which I am trying to get rid of since a few weeks and it's really strenuous to work or even live with it and the meds knock me out pretty good too. I cannot promise to update this blog on a more regular basis but I will do my best :)

Ps: if there is anyhting you guys want me to write, feel free to request it. I got really excited to see some MM and Avenger requests! 

- 1.735 words - cuteness, nothing too romantic or smutty, just a little story of our CP0 boy meeting a woman (you! hihi)

Lucci was on his way to the CP0's new boss. The whole crew has never seen this man before but they knew that he was not someone to make angry. Even though Lucci didn't really care about him or being on time, he didn't want to have any problems with the new guy from the very beginning, so he tried to arrive at the meeting place before the new boss did.

On his way to the meeting point, Lucci spotted a new bakery opening in one of the side streets. A few people came out with freshly baked bread and apparently some baked sweets. He could smell some vanilla aroma and a warm scent of herbs as well. Deciding to have a quick look, he went to the window of the little shop and peeked inside. An older woman exchanged her money with some fresh baked bread and looked happy about an offer to taste some marmalade cookies. Lucci's favorite. Being too focused on the cookie, he needed a few seconds to realize that you were waving at him. When you managed to get his attention, you smiled happily and motioned for him to come inside. He hesitated first but chose to just have a look and maybe try one of these cookies. Thousands of different scents suddenly hit his sensitive nose but Lucci was already used to it. What he wasn't used to was the smell of lavender in the room. When he looked up to you, offering him some of those marmalade cookies, he forgot about himself for a quick second. Your (H/C)-colored hair was tied up in a sleek ponytail and your shiny (E/C) eyes looked at him with excitement first but it quickly changed to worry. "Are you alright? Don't you like strawberry marmalade? I also have chocolate cookies or ones, with coconut cream?", you pointed to a fresh batch behind you and smiled a bit at him. Lucci shook his head softly and took one of the marmalade ones, tasting it right away. Even though he tried his best to stay calm and not show whether or not he liked it, Lucci couldn't hold back his excitement for this treasure he just ate. "It tastes wonderful..", he looked up to you, and there it was again. Your scent. Lavender and the calming scent of an ocean. It hypnotized him. Trying to get out of this trance, he shook his head and cleared his throat. "I am sorry.", he turned around and went to the door, "I am in a hurry. Thank you for the cookie." Without another look back, he left the shop and didn't realize that there were people already waiting outside. He has seen their faces many times, knowing that they feared him, which is probably why they decided to wait outside instead of being in a shop with him.

Not too much later, he caught himself thinking about that cookie, then the scent of the cookie, the scent of you and then..you. He shook his head as if this would get rid of his thoughts and looked up to his new boss, who watched Lucci with a raised eyebrow. "Am I boring you, Rob Lucci?", he approached the man slowly and stopped when he stood right in front of Lucci, who shook his head slowly again. "No, I was listening." The boss giggled slowly and sighed, "I wish I had your brain.. must be pretty relaxing." After stepping back again, he continued to explain their plan to enter a pirate base on an island nearby. But before they left, he needed to taste the other cookies too. No! He shouldn't go there again. You could be there and this would deflect him even more. Your scent was triggering some nerves inside of him and he didn't like that.

When the boss ended their meeting, he looked at Lucci and gave him a warning sight, "Don't you dare to decide to do anything on your own. You all need to work as a team or this plan won't work out. Do you understand me?" Lucci had to admit, that it made him mad to hear this man talk to him like that. He was way stronger than his new boss but he wasn't interested in a fight as he just wanted the boss to shut up and leave him be. "I do. Can I leave now?" The boss sighed annoyed and nodded, "You better leave right away before I completely lose my cool." Even though he was really close to just laugh at that comment, Lucci kept his mouth shut again and just turned around to leave. Walking in a normal pace away, Lucci could still feel his glare like daggers in his back. On his way back to his room, he decided to visit the little shop again and realized that a few men seemed to cause some trouble. "I wanted to taste one of these cookies now and not tomorrow!", he growled at her and pushed a container, which was made of glass, down the counter. Lucci could have caught it easily but he couldn't care less about a container, which wasn't his. Instead of wasting his time on an item, he just entered the shop and stood right behind those three men. One of them felt someone's presence and turned around to curse them out of the building but froze when he saw Lucci. The man quickly tapped onto the second man's shoulder and went a few steps back. Lucci looked at the second man, who went as many steps back as he could before pressing himself against the wall. Now there was only one more left. He looked at the man, standing right in front of him, still demanding some of your cookies, not paying attention to his surroundings at all. Weakling.

Lucci went a few steps forward and almost hovered over him with their height difference. You looked up to Lucci, a little bit nervous and scared because you already have your first drama on the very first day in the bakery shop. The man realized how quiet it had become and turned around, quickly before freezing completely. Tilting his head a little, Lucci eyed the man from his toes up to his face and narrowed his eyes, "Are you bothering that lady?" The man shook his head really fast and still couldn't say a word. "Did you break this glass?", Lucci asked him and put his hands casually into his trousers' pockets. The man nodded and swallowed his own saliva a bit too strenuous. "You know, what you have to do.", Lucci looked at him and straightened his head again, looking at the man full of disgust. He just nodded fast again and took out all his money, putting it on the counter before walking out fast.

You looked after the three men and were glad Lucci didn't hurt them or that the shop didn't get any more damage than just the glass container. "T-thank you... You can have the money. I don't need it.", you looked at him and sighed relieved. Lucci just shook his head and looked around. Wiping a few pieces of glass out of his way, he looked up to you, "So.. you really don't have any more cookies left?" With a slow but soft headshake, you looked at him sadly. "I am sorry... I don't. But I will prepare a box filled with different kinds of cookies for you, which you can have tomorrow, if you'd like?" Thinking about it, Lucci nodded and just turned around to leave, "I will pick it up tomorrow evening after I come back from a mission. Have it ready by then." "Wait! What's your name?" "Lucci.", he said and left again. - Lucci was too exhausted. Not only did this mission last longer than expected but he also wasn't allowed to hunt down the enemy as he usually would. This time it was all about patience and waiting for the enemy to get caught in a trap. When he figured that their enemy was too dumb to exist, he gave up the urge to beat him up on the way to his new boss. When he finished all the explanations and ignoring his boss's annoying comments, he decided to visit your little bakery shop. Hoping that it wasn't closed yet, Lucci almost sprinted to the side street and realized that he was too late. Before he could turn around to leave, the door of the bakery opened and you peeked out of the barely opened door, "You're here! I prepared your box!" Lucci couldn't help but smile and just went into the little shop, closing the door behind him. Looking around to see where you went, he enjoyed the silent moment of him being surrounded by your amazingly calming scent. Lucci closed his eyes and took in a deep breath, calming down as soon as he inhaled the warm breeze.

When you tapped on his shoulder, Lucci just turned his head to you and frowned at the sight of two boxes, "I just need one." "Oh.. the other one is just a basic meal with some bread.. I didn't have time to cook more but I hope you like it.", you smiled a bit nervous at him. After Lucci gave her a questioning look, you explained to him that it was not healthy to only eat cookies on an empty stomach and that a strong man needs a real meal. Lucci nodded at that and as he took the two boxes, he froze when you leaned over to kiss his cheek once softly. "Thank you.. for.. helping me yesterday..", you gave him a nervous smile, while your cheeks got a slight tint of red color. Lucci looked down at you and couldn't help himself but to think you're really adorable. Even though he wasn't the type of man to be interested in any romantic or cute things, he appreciated the effort. "Thank you, ..?" "(Y/N)", you told him your name with a weird amount of confidence. He nodded and raised an eyebrow when you smiled happily at him again. "I will return these boxes tomorrow.", Lucci announced and went back to the door again.
