Promise to marry me...
Kankuro x reader through the eyes of Gaara, Gaara as matchmaker extraordinaire
âI donât think Iâll ever get married.âÂ
Kankuroâs voice was muffled but the door had not been fully closed.
Gaara wasnât one to eavesdrop, especially not in his own home, but the words made him stop.
âWhat makes you think that?â Hearing your voice surprised him even more.
He knew that you and Kankuro got along, but that a conversation like this at this time? Guilt pooled in his stomach as he realized that he probably shouldnât be listening. But the far more powerful curiosity kept him where he was.
âAh, you know. Iâm a mess. You canât tie me down. I love the freedom.âÂ
âOh, shush.â You tutted at him. âYouâre just using empty phrases to cover how you really feel.â There was a moment of silence and Gaara told himself again that he had to move. This was a private conversation and yet, this felt like a conversation Kankuro should have been able to have with him, too.
âWould you want to marry me?â Kankuroâs voice was different now. It had an undertone to it that was raw and vulnerable.Â
âIâd marry you in a heartbeat.â You told him, your voice filled with conviction, yet the words sounded soft. âBut itâs not about that, is it? It doesnât matter how many people want to marry you. If it wonât make you happy, it wonât make you happy. You donât have to be married to be happy, you know.â
âAre you happy?â
âRight now? Very. I have a job I like, great friends and I get to travel places without having to fear getting killed the next day. Itâs pretty fantastic if you ask me.â
âDonât you want children? A husband?â
âMaybe someday. But I donât have any important genes I need to give to the next generation and I quite enjoy being the cool aunt to Shikadai and everyone else. But who knows, maybe when Iâm olderâŚâ
âWhat ifâŚâ There was a beat of silence and when he spoke again, Gaara could hear Kankuro as he knew him. Filled with mischief and too many ideas.
âWhat if we made a pact? When weâre thirty and we want to get married but have no one, weâll marry each other?â
You laugh. âSure. Iâll hold you to that, old man.â
At that moment, Gaara pulls himself away. Heâs heard too much already.
-
Eight years later, just after Shinkiâs third anniversary with them, Gaara decides that he has to take matters into his own hands.
Kankuro hardly speaks about the subject of marriage and if he does, he jokes about it.
But Gaara, knowing what he does, canât stand by and do nothing, when he can see the way Kankuro looks at Shinki or how he pulls back into himself whenever he notices a couple.
As his younger brother, Gaara has no business snooping around in Kankuroâs business.
As his Kazekage he has no right to do so either.
When he does, he convinces himself heâs doing it as a friend.
-
Heâs left Shinki with Shikadai and Temari and has convinced Lee that heâs hanging with Naruto and Naruto that heâs training with Lee.
Kankuro had to stay back in Suna and Gaaraâs thankful for that as he knocks on your door.
âWhat brings you here?â You ask, one of the few people in Konoha who donât burden themselves with unnecessary politeness. âTea?â
âIâd like that.â He lets his eyes wander. Your apartment is small, just big enough for one and an army of plants. He knows youâre single but he can spot an array of pictures on the bookshelves. Stepping closer he finds them to be you with different friends, the biggest one having been taken in Suna, eight years ago.Â
He remembers that day when Temari and Kankuro had dragged both you and him out for the sunset.Â
âHow is he?â You ask as you hand him his cup of tea. âKankuro, I mean? I heard he couldnât come.â
âPhysically, he is well.â He starts and you perk up immediately, watchful eyes focused on him.
âAnd emotionally?âÂ
âHe would not let me live if he knew that Iâm telling you this.â He looks back at the picture and steels his resolve. âBut he might be thinking about a certain pact you two made eight years ago.â
Your cup slips from your fingers. If not for his sand it would have shattered on the ground.Â
âHow do you know-?â
âI was just walking to my room that day.â He tells you quietly. âI overheard only a little.â
âI-â You stutter and he nods.
âI am not saying that I know what heâs thinking. But I can tell that heâs lonely. And if you wanted to come back to Suna with us in a week⌠just for a short holiday, maybe, Iâd be happy to arrange everything for you.â
âI have to think about that.â Your voice is raspy when you speak, breathless even.
He nods. âDo that. Donât rush anything. Just know that youâre always welcome.â
-
Gaara is the only one not surprised when you decide that youâll take an impromptu vacation to Suna. He does not tell Kankuro about it and has Temari swear on Shikadais life that she will not tell him.
There are moments where he wonders if he oversteps.
Moments where he thinks he will regret this - especially Temariâs moods.
But then the train halts in Suna and they can see Kankuro waiting for them.Â
Gaara steps out first, offering his hand to Shinki who refuses any help.Â
With one eye on his son and his other on Kankuro he knows the exact moment when Kankuro notices you.
âI think weâll get some ice cream.â He tells Shinki softly as he steps to the side. âAnd let those two have some time together.â
No one protests.Â
-
Gaara is the only one not surprised when one week of vacation turns into two.
He is not surprised when you travel back to Konoha only to pack your belongings.
On your wedding day he thinks about telling Kankuro. What he heard all those years ago, what he did for his brother.
But he doesnât. He just pulls sleeping Shinki a bit closer to him and watches the couple dance, thinking that if no one has to be lonely, the world will be a better place.

Headcanons for kankuro with a pregnant s/o pleaseeeeee
Hello, thank you sm for the requestđ I hope you like itâźď¸
-He would treat you and your child like ROYALTY! Anything you need? He got it. Your feet killing you? Prepare for the best foot massage of your life. You have a very odd but specific craving? Here he comes with exactly what you asked. Heâd just want to make sure you and the baby are as comfortable as he can.
-To make sure heâs doing everything right heâd ask people whoâve had babies for help. If Temari has had Shikadai she would be the first person heâd ask. Her and Shikamaru would hear from him everyday about every little question. âIs it ok if Y/n eats this?â âWill it help if I do this?â
-Heâd be really protective also. If he sees you working too hard heâll try to take over whatever youâre doing so you can rest. If youâre out in town and he canât go with you, he might send someone to check on you. So donât be surprised if a random ninja asks if you need help on his behalf. And donât be scared if a random sand eyeball pops up in front of you.
-While being excited heâd also be worried. Given that he didnât have the best father, heâs nervous about how heâd do. He wants the best for his child. He might or might not express this to you but make sure to give him lots of reassurance.
-Kankuro would make a lot of things for the baby. Heâd make the crib, the spinny light thing above the crib, cute lil toys, and even a rocking chair. He seems like a DIYer to me so anything he could make he would. Theyâd all have special designs on them to represent your family, just to make them all the more special.
-As the days get closer to your delivery it would start to dawn on him that heâs really gonna have a family with you. Heâd be so nervous at any little sign of discomfort from you. Kankuro would find every way to be around in case you go into labor. Gaara might be frustrated by the amount of unauthorized time off he takes, but heâll get over it once his niece or nephew is born.
-At the end of the day Kankuro would be there for you mentally and physically. Heâd take joy in making sure you and the baby are doing well because he loves yâall so much. Heâd be more than ecstatic to be growing your family.

Luffy, Zoro, and Sanji and attractive things they do
á´á´á´Ęá´Ę'ęą É´á´á´á´: the way i ran to write this shit out... lemme give you a kiss for this ask fr
á´Ąá´Ęɴɪɴɢęą: None!
Ęá´á´á´
á´Ę: femaleÂ
ɢá´É´Ęá´: suggestiveÂ
zoro roronoaÂ
 â His gaze.
 Zoro is the type to look at stare at you across a room with such an intense gaze,Â
He doesnât care about the people around him, to him you are the only one that mattersÂ
And you know the hip thrust up to get comfy that boys do?Â
Zoro does that too.Â
Its so subconscious that he doesnât even recognize it but whenever he does it, your gaze travels slowly over to himÂ
â When he works out
Something about watching the sweat drip down his face when he works out is so attractive
Especially when heâs benching thousands of pounds, muscles straining under that amount of pressure
And when heâs done with his workout, the way he just stares up, breathing heavilyâŚ.
Okay lemme stop
vinsmoke sanji
â The way he blows out the smoke from his cigarettes.
It's just so hot, the way he purses his lips, blowing the smoke out so efficiently its so hot.
More so, he stares at you when he blows out the smoke, eyes hooded and everything
Also in intense makeout sessions, heâll blow the smoke right into your mouth and have you blow it out
â When he cooks
the focus he has on whatever heâs making, knife barely missing his fingers each and every time
The control he has in the kitchen, crafting the delicious food that he makesÂ
Its hotÂ
And he'll offer you some to taste someÂ
He'll put the wooden spoon close to your lips and wait patiently for your opinion
â His morning voice.
The gravely voice that says sweet nothings into your ear at night
His morning voice so nice to listen to in the mornings
 when he says he loves you and gives you a kiss on the neck
something about it and the way youâre woken up in the mornings makes him extra attractiveÂ
monkey d. luffyÂ
â His smirk.
He doesnât smirk often but when he does it does something else.
Especially in the middle of a fight, and all seems lost
Luffy will start smirking before it turns into a full on grin and when he does that, you already know it's over
â When he gets mad
Something about the way he stops smiling and his eyes turn dark and hooded is so attractive
And he rarely gets mad so when he does you know its for a good reasonÂ
He hates hearing anything bad about his friends and especially you, so when he gets mad over you its overÂ
â The way he talks
Luffy talks like youâre the only one in the world that matters to him
You are the only one he has eyes for whenever he talks to you
He never makes you feel seen
No matter what  happens, Luffy loves giving you his whole attention

lost little marimo
character: roronoa zoro
content warmings: none
reader: gender neutral
⊠romance was never something he ever thought aboutâhis entire life had always revolved around his goals, and improving himself to better achieve those goals
⊠he didnât know how to best go about approaching you about it
⊠his first instinct was to just walk up to you and confess; and while he usually trusted the feeling in his gut, he second-guessed this particular thought. he didnât know if you felt the same way about him
⊠he had convinced himself that he could live the rest of his life detached from those deeper emotionsâbut what about you? if you were to reject him, what would happen to the relationship you shared right now? you were more than just shipmatesâyou were friends. he didnât want to make you feel awkward or uncomfortable, knowing that he liked you, trapped on the same ship as him
⊠the sleepless hours he spent awake in his cot at night was spent stewing on these thoughts, circling his mind in an endless loop until unconsciousness finally took him, just so he could wake up and think about it even more the next morning
⊠roronoa zoro wasnât the type to worry over things, but he just couldnât help himself this time
⊠he had to find someone he could talk to about this. thinking over his options, he decided nami was out of the question, least he wanted to subject himself to her endless teasing. the cook seemed like the obvious choiceâloverboy as he wasâbut what if it was revealed that he liked you, too? zoro couldnât be held responsible for what he would have done if that were the case
⊠he ended up going to luffy
⊠he was sat upon his seat on merryâs figurehead, humming along some song or another, gaze cast out to the horizon
⊠after getting his attention, zoro realized he didnât know how to start. âhave you ever looked at someone and feltâŚwarm inside?â was what came out of his mouth
⊠luffy seemed to think on this for a moment, before lightning up. âuh-huh!â he agreed. âwhen iâm real angry at them before i kick their ass!â
⊠âno,â he said, even if he could relate. âno, itâsâŚitâs a good feelingâ
⊠âoh. then noâ
⊠a fruitless endeavor. zoro will try again in the morning; he would ask usopp. he seemed to be in touch with his emotionsâand even if nothing came out of it, zoro knew usopp would keep his secret. he was just that type of guy

Piggy Back Rides
Nicolas Brown x GN reader
SFW, tiny bit of cursing
âNicolasssssssss slow down pleaseâ you beg, voice filled with exhaustion. Pleading is useless though since the man isnât even facing your direction. Heâs too focused on getting his delivery done on time.
As a favor to Worick, you agreed to go with Nic on his deliveries since he had some secret work to do. You both knew Nic needed no help doing deliveries but he insisted that you go. You agreed because alone time with Nic? Who would pass that up. Certainly not you, especially since you have a secret, not so secret crush on him. You thought youâd get to chat a little, learn some more about him, and maybe even learn some new signs. You had it all planned out. You even wore your new sneakers. Boy was that a mistake.
Here you are, hauling ass while carrying 2 heavy bags filled with God knows what. Feeling the painful blisters on your toes rub against your shoes. Sweating like a whore in church. Youâre really wishing you had said no.
He gets to his destination just as you had the mind to throw a rock at him for his attention. Nic tells you to stay there as he goes inside. You oblige, but while standing there you think of the piece of your mind youâre gonna give him. How dare he move so fast for being so short. You were usually able to keep up with him with no problem. He HAD to have been doing it on purpose. He was going to explain himself for putting you through this torture.
Suddenly he appears, signs a âletâs goâ and speeds off. Before he can get too far you grab his collar, forcing him to stop.
âWhy in the actual fuck are you going so fast? My feet are killing me, my legs feel like jello, I'm about to pass out from the lack of oxygen, and you havenât slowed down ONCE.â You spout, frustration evident on your face.
âWhy didnât you say something?â he signed with genuine confusion and concern.
You stare at him. How would you have been able to tell him when he almost refused to turn around the whole trip. Your voice isnât as loud as Woricks so yelling didn't work. You werenât gonna slam your hand on a pipe because you like being able to feel your fingers.
âWell I TRIED!! I WAS FOR REAL ABOUT TO THROW A ROCK AT YOU BEFORE YOU STOPPED BECAUSE YOU DIDNT HEAR ME!!!!â You shouted. The mix of exhaustion and his cluelessness was not good for your temper.
The look he gave you was as if he didnât know. Well he actually didnât know. He then takes the bags from you, turns around, and squats. Unsure of what to do you stay still. Seconds pass and he turns around.
âGet onâ he says, hands too full to sign.
âWhy?â You question, surprised by his sudden request.
âYou said your feet hurt so Iâll carry you.â He speaks once more and turns around, waiting for you to get on.
With a smile plastered on your face you hop on. Itâs funny how things can go from not so good to unexpectedly perfect. This is the closest youâve ever been to Nic. Your chest pressed to his broad back. Arms around his strong neck. Legs wrapped around his scarred waist. The man is built. His physique is even more impressive to feel instead of just seeing. You rest your head on his shoulder, breathing in his scent. Itâs something you wish you could smell all day and night.
The rest of the deliveries go by faster than you would have liked. You expected Nic to head straight back to his place, but he actually goes the opposite direction.
âWhere are we going?â you try to sign, Nic had been teaching you but you werenât fluent yet.
âTo eat.â He signed back.
âI donât have moneyâ you signed again. Yeah it was stupid to leave the house without money but you didnât expect to need any.
âIâm payingâ
A piggy back ride AND free food!? This day was getting better and better.
Nic takes you to your favorite family restaurant. Whether he knew it was your favorite or mere coincidence is unknown, but youâre happy about his choice.
Yâall have a seat and order what youâd like. The rest of the time is spent doing what you planned on in the beginning. You learned more about him and some more sign! You could actually tell Nic was having a good time too. Instead of his usually annoyed look, it was happy and interested.
After yâall finished your food he offered you another piggy back ride. You declined, not wanting to wear him out. So he decided to walk you home. The walk was silent, but it was a comfortable silence.
The sky was filled with warm shades of orange, as day slowly became night. Your home was not too far ahead, meaning you'd soon be able to rest and think about the long day you had. You didn't want that though, you wanted to spend the rest of the night in this comfortable silence. Nic by your side and the busy sound of Ergastulum in the background.
