Infirmary lovers

I had only been a part of White beards crew for about a year, but I noticed his presence immediately: the famed Fire Fist Ace. The first few times I saw him in the infirmary as I worked alongside Marco. Bandaging myself at times and others at times. But one day he walked in covered in cuts on his chest and arms huffing and puffing. “Ace! Sit down your getting blood on the floor and I don’t wanna clean it!” I yelled at that point I had cleaned the floor with Marco five times I refused to clean it again.
He’d surely had another tussle with Whitebeard. I was sure of it by the looks of him. Grumbling, he sat on Marco’s table completely blowing me off. “Nope you’re on my table today fire boy” His eyes widened then he scoffed making Marco laugh. “Marco, you clean the blood off the floor I’m not doing it again” I said exasperated. Marco gave me a fake salute and went out the door to get the mop from the kitchen. After Marco had left, I let out a sigh as ace was getting on my examination table. I quietly got to work grabbing my supplies to patch ace up.
I tossed a towel to ace while I was rummaging in my medical cabinets. “Put that on the big cut on your chest and put pressure on it” he seemed annoyed at my orders but followed them none the less. “I know how to clean and dress a wound ya know” He sassed. “Well, you came into the infirmary for a reason. I assume you have something you can’t do by yourself?” His eyes widened as I grabbed my anti-septic out of the cabinet with the gauze, I needed to dress his wounds. “I didn’t have supplies to do it myself” He grumbled halfheartedly I smiled beginning to work on cleaning, stitching, and dressing the cuts on his body.
I grinned looking at ace as he raced his striker around the Moby Dick as I reminisced our first real interaction in the infirmary. He had since grown to love the crew and except Whitebeard as his father then recently being promoted to division two commander. He had come such a long way in such a short time and the tattoo he sported across his back was a testament to the faith he held for his new crew. He’d grown from this angry huffing shut out into the life of the party. It made me proud to call him my lover.
I waved at him from the deck of the Moby Dick once he saw my waving he quickly made his way to tie the striker back to the Moby Dick, jumping on deck with trails of flame following him into the air but extinguishing before he landed on deck. He walked up to me as I opened my arms for him. “You should come ride the striker with me” He pleaded. “No can do firebug I have patients to take care of you know that besides I only came out here for a second to see you playing on your striker”. I said going to kiss his cheek, but he dodged it starting to pout.
I took a step back to look at him pouting as I cocked my head to the side raising my eyebrow. “Really Portgas D. Ace is mad I won’t abandon my post to come play on his striker?” I asked teasingly he huffed in reply. I rolled my eyes beginning to walk away from him to the infirmary when ace’s arms wrapped around my waist picking me up and spinning in circles. I shrieked in surprise before laughing as I braced myself with my hands on his shoulders. “Ace!! What’re you doing!” I asked looking down at him as he stopped spinning us around. “Stealing you away!” He smiled that stupid boyish grin and it was over for me.
“You’re taking the blame when Marco asks where I’ve been” I negotiated but just then Marco walked up to us as Ace put me down. “Theres my partner in medicine what’re you guys up now? Nothing good I assume”. Ace looked at Marco smiling “Hey I’m gonna steal my firefly for awhile that good with you Marco?” Marco looked amused “Go ahead and have the day off I’ve got the infirmary covered and rest assured your patients will be fine they just partied a little to hard” Marco said with an amused chuckle. Ace smiled pushing his signature orange hat down on my head. “You heard him firefly your mine for the rest of the day!”
I smiled and thanked Marco while he gave me a knowing smile. Ace smirked pushing the front of his hat down over my eyes causing me laugh. The rest of my day was spent playing on Ace’s striker and I wouldn’t have had it any other way. A joy filled day with the love of my life was always a good day.

Searching for shadows

“Why me?” The words tumbled from my lips as I sat alone on the cold empty bed in the captain quarters of the Polar Tang. Law had stormed out earlier cursing me for being in the way yet again. I had only wanted to be close to him. The pretext of our relationship was shattering all around me.
I knew Law would never love me, but it still hurt. It sat heavy in my chest, a heavy feeling of loneliness. The gruff man said there was no room in his heart for anything other than his studies of medicine. I wish he’d tell me why he took me off that island in the first place. I thought after our months of sleeping in the same bed he really would love me; but that wasn’t the case. Even his small displays of affection had dissipated into thin air as of a month ago. I had no clue what made him this way. He avoided me like the plague, often sleeping on the common room’s couch at night and locking himself in his office during the day.
He was at least kind to me before, kissing me willingly and he seemed as though he took pride in having me in his bed. But now he’s as cold as the snow of my home island. He just pulled away from me suddenly one day and I couldn’t stop it. There were no warning signs, and I was left to fester in my emotions alone. Bepo was concerned for me as the yelling got louder and more frequent. I sat alone starting to cry when a soft knock sounded at the door. I got up and fixed a crooked grin on my lips as I answered the door only to be smushed into Bepo’s chest.
“Bepo? What are you doing here?” I mussed “I was worried about you! I heard you and the captain yelling again”. I pulled away from Bepo looking behind him into the hallway. “Did he go to his office? I have some things I need to ask him”. This was it; I was done. Done being alone even with the support of the crew, I refused to be treated as less than nothing. I pushed back the white mass of fur and marched down to Law’s office. Bepo tried to stop me once or twice before Shachi pulled him away. Shaking his head at the oversized mink signaling it was futile to try to stop me now.
I gave a sharp knock on Law’s office door and heard a deep groan of annoyance greet me on the other side. Shortly after some shuffling and grumbling, Law opened the door. He seemed surprised to see me, but it was gone just as fast as it had appeared. I shoved past him into his office before he could inevitably tell me to go away. “Why have you been so cold to me Law?” The tears were streaming down my face again. If Law had any reaction, he gave no sign of it. But the truth was Law was drowning from the inside out, his lungs filling with feelings left unspoken. His actions were meant to drive you away. Yet you stubbornly stayed, peacefully taking his actions with a saints patience but now you were questioning him. Why was he doing this?
Why was he pulling away after warming up to you? You’d never know. “Do you not love me anymore Law?” I spoke, my voice rising with weeks of calmly concealed contempt. “Tell me Law, spare me please”. I hit my fists against his chest, his face clouded with a dark look of arrogance as he pushed my hands away. “I never loved you; I was using you for my bodily needs” I froze, his tone was like the polar ice caps, I let out a chocked sob then rubbing my face clean of tears looking at him with all the anger I could muster.
“I can’t believe you’d admit that but there’s one thing I can assure you Law” I walked up to him my mouth beside his ear “I’m leaving your sorry ass and this damn submarine”. Law was shocked to say the least, your voice had flowed into his veins, a deadly incurable poison filled with anger. You left after that, shoving him away as if his presence were now a stain on you. When he came back to his quarters that night hoping to resolve things with you, your belongings were gone and so were you. He wanted to tell you the truth, the real reason he pulled away from you so suddenly… however, he was not offered that choice.
The next morning they made landfall at a small port island with a bustling town of market stalls. Once the polar tang had surfaced you found yourself surrounded by all your crew mates, who were crying and asking if you were sure about leaving. The last to show up was Law. He stayed to the back of the group hoping to grab your attention, call your bluff… But all he got was a glance and a scoff. The realization was startling for Law. You were leaving… this was it… this was the last time he’d see you.
I gave my crewmates their hugs as Bepo, Penguin, and Shachi tried convincing me to stay, but my mind was made up; I was leaving and that was it. I gave Law one last glance before turning and walking down the ramp, not looking back once. Law’s heart was shattering. He loved you but was too scared of his feelings. With one last look at you before you disappeared into the crowds he muttered a single sentence, one that could have made you stay had he uttered it sooner, but it was too late now as a stray tear slid down his face he whispered. “I love you”

Why are you laughing?!

I smiled as I sat on the railing of the Thousand Sunny with Nami and Robin lounging in their chairs on deck. I was secretly trying one of Sanji’s special drinks for the girls; being one of the many guys on the ship I didn’t get the special treatment like the girls got. But Robin didn’t mind sharing a few sips of her drink with me. After the first sip I went straight to the kitchen to beg Sanji to make me one, it was so fruity and refreshing I just had to have some. But Sanji’s glare fixed me at the door immediately “C’mon Sanji I just want a little drink!” I yelled running around the kitchen to escape the livid cook “Those are only for Nami and Robin!” he yelled as I shrieked with laughter running out of the kitchen as the door slammed shut behind me to keep me out.
I fell to the floor rolling on my sides as laughter consumed me. Luffy soon joined me in my laughter from the figure head of the Sunny, as we both calmed down I let out a soft groan as my ribs hurt from laughing so hard. Getting up I sat back with Nami and Robin conversing on random topics when Nami stopped mid-sentence and smiled knowingly while Robin gave a small chuckle.
I furrowed my brows in confusion, about to ask her to continue when a hand snaked around my waist and a scent I knew all to well filled my senses, light lavender and bergamot mixed with the heavy smell of leather and sandalwood accompanied by the strong scent of steel. There was only one man on the Thousand Sunny that smelt like that, Roronoa Zoro. I sighed leaning back into his chest, I picked up on his tense muscles and I held his hand that was around my waist. “Crows nest, five minutes” and with that he was gone just as suddenly as he appeared. After he had climbed back up to the crows nest Nami let out a laugh full and unashamed “looks like you’re in trouble~” she said in between laughs and giggles. Robin simply smirked “You should go see him, it sounded serious.”
I was puzzled and tilted my head in confusion, I was sure I hadn’t done anything to piss off the swordsman but alas he seemed upset with me for some reason. I knew I hadn’t forgotten any important dates, our anniversary wasn’t until another five months, and his birthday had already passed so what was I missing? I couldn’t help but wonder as I climbed the rope ladder to the crow’s nest.
Opening the door, I was met with the sight of Zoro training tirelessly with sweat dripping down his chest. I was compelled to stare but stopped myself as I pushed the door open to announce my presence to Zoro. Once he knew I was there he scoffed and put his weights down, he then went to sit down on the makeshift bed that I made out of spare blankets and pillows. Confused, I followed his movements by coming to sit beside him. I softly put my hand on his shoulder searching his face for any signs of what I could have done wrong.
After a moment he shrugs my hand off his shoulder, my eyes widened as a small panic began to set into my stomach. “Zoro what’s wrong?” He remained silent. My panic began to rise while Zoro was never really one to initiate physical touch, he never denied it either, which made this situation all the more confusing and stressful. “Zoro what’s gotten into you, you’re being so cold” he scoffed and turned to face me, anger written all over his features. “I’m being cold to you?” he asked incredulously “Yea? Well what’s going on between you and that damned cook recently? You two seem awfully damn close here recently.” I was shocked, Roronoa Zoro was…jealous? But he continued “If you’re going to leave me for that damn cook just get it over with already” At that I couldn’t help the small chuckle bubbling in my throat as I hit his chest weakly while laughing.
After a few hits he grabbed my wrists holding them away from his chest. “what’s so damn funny!?” I struggled to breathe smiling looking up at him “you’re jealous Zoro!” his eyes widened at that “I am not jealous. I’m just stating things the way I see them and what’s so funny?!” He said angrily. I smiled wiping tears from my eyes as my laughter died out “Roronoa Zoro, I am not going anywhere especially not with Sanji, the only reason I was in the kitchen was to get him to make me a fruit drink like he makes for Nami and Robin” I explained and for a moment I could see the gears turning in his head till he huffed and turned away grumbling.
I smiled, shaking my head then kissed the apple of his cheek. Before I could pull away, he pulled me into a sincere kiss full of emotion. I pulled away slightly after a while to breathe, still sharing breaths from the close proximity of our bodies. “I’m sorry for jumping to conclusions” he mumbled against my lips. I giggled “It’s ok, I still and always will love you, Zoro” he pulled me to rest my head on his chest as he laid down. We fell asleep soon after with the stars to watch over us.

I had just gotten the previous client's chair cleaned and reorganized when Law walked out from the back office with two cans of Coke, making me sigh in relief and chuckle.
“You look like you could use a drink, but sadly we don’t serve those kinds of drinks here” Law said fondly, smiling at me as my shoulders dropped
I stretched and started getting ready to sketch out a new piece for another client who would come in tomorrow morning. Right now we were in our mid-afternoon slump so there weren’t any customers in the shop and our employees had gone on a lunch break.
I loved sketching out tattoos for clients, knowing that your art was so special and unique that it was going onto someone’s skin forever gave me an odd feeling of accomplishment. I sat down at my drawing station off to the side and got to work. Law leaned over my shoulder to watch my new creation come to life, he said there was a sort of magic in the process. After a while of small talk and lip-biting for concentration, Law started rubbing my shoulders with a small smile on his lips.
“If you don’t take breaks, you’re going to break, hun” he said softly
I looked at him and raised an eyebrow “But if I’m lazy no work gets done, you know that” I chided sassily
He ran his hand through his hair and smiled “Stubborn as always” he chuckled and he kissed my lips gently
Before I could give a snide remark he was already greeting some walk-in clients. I looked into his eyes fondly, my little tattoo shop ghost… my friendly Casper… my surgeon of death.

The heaviest burden

Genre - Angst

Your hat weighs heavy on my head and my heart. It crushes me slowly. As I watch your body hit the floor, my feet move on their own. Walking towards you felt as though I was in slow motion, the battle becoming quiet as my ears rang. There were screams I couldn’t tell where they were coming from, until my vocal cords felt scratchy. When I fell at your side, I could see your smile. A smile that haunts my very dreams, a smile that could light up any room no matter how grim the circumstance.
The last time I saw that smile was when you entrusted your beloved orange hat to me in Alabasta, telling me to stick with Luffy’s crew till you’d pick me up to sail back to pops together. I trusted you. Another strangled cry left my lips the ringing in my ears was unbearable. I had followed your orders blindly against my better judgement. I trusted you to come back to me alive and well. Smiling that damn smile of yours. But that never came. Your blood was starting to soak into my clothes as I sat back on my legs.
I had silently started gathering the beads of your necklace. Unbeknownst to me there would be nights I’d slave away to put that necklace back together. I couldn’t bear seeing it broken into pieces. It reminded me too much of your body lying on the ground. I put my hand on your cheek, a gurgling noise of agony forced itself to be known as I felt your warmth leaving your body. That was the first and only time you felt cold since I’d known you. You were always so warm, so full of life.
Now all I could do was scream as Marco dragged me from your body. We had a funeral for you days later. People put down flowers, but I wanted to put myself down there with you, it seemed so lonely down there. Pops told me to keep your hat, keep your legacy alive. I wasn’t planning on giving your hat up anyways, you had entrusted it to me. I’d rather die than break a promise to you, my love.
The first few days were the hardest, but after 3 sleepless nights your necklace was put back together and secured around my neck. I never take it off, it’s apart of me now. Just as you were my hotshot, my Portgas D. Ace, but that’s all gone now, like a fairytale without a happily ever after. You died and the dream was gone, there was no more fuzzy feelings or pranks to pull, it was over. You were gone and now I had to live with the ghost of you.
