Sanji: Honestly, I can't believe you! You have someone as pretty as Boa Hancock obsessing over you and you don't even--
Luffy: Sanji's prettier though
Sanji: I
Sanji: What??
Luffy: I guess Hancock looks nice. For a girl anyway. But Sanji's way, way prettier than she is
Sanji: *squeaks* O-oh

Luffy finding out that he loves you
Tumblr media
pairing: Luffy x f! reader
genre: fluff
It was a nice sunny day on the seas. The birds were chirping as they fly above the Thousand Sunny. Robin was reading a book, as usual it is. Luffy then came to her, asking for something
"Robin, can i ask you something?" asked Luffy, out of curiosity.
"Sure, Captain" Robin answered softly. She closed her book, putting it on her lap. "What is your question, here?"
"See, i have this feeling for (y/n). When she came, something feels different. When around her, my heart's beating fast like crazy. It felt weird, and there's this feeling of happiness i felt",
Robin listened her Captain's words one by one, the unusual of her Captain. Usually, he would been fishing with Usopp and Chopper, but he put that aside and asked these things to her.
"I don't know about her, but do you know what it is? I don't want to ask her these question, 'cause these questions actually made me embarassed. Say Robin, what is this feeling?"
Robin let out a soft laugh, then sips a little tea by her side. "It's a romantic feeling, Luffy. That is when you feel that you need to stay by her side, no matter what. You get butterflies only by a simple thing she does for you. Well, you can tell her this feeling, by saying 'I love you' to her. Maybe she feels the same too"
"Okay!" said Luffy as he tries to find you with his eyes. Once he found you, he will take stippy footsteps to surprise you with a hug.
"Oi, y/n. Can you come please with me?" asked Luffy nicely with a hug from behind. "I need to tell you something.
You nodded, and he takes you to a spot where no one will caught you by. He carries you with a bridal style, making Sanji who sees it from the kitchen, jealous as he can be.
"So, y/n. I had this feeling for you, and i asked Robin about it. I love you. My heart's now beating fast like it is about to go on Gear 5", said Luffy with a slight blush on his cheeks. He admits it that he loves you, more than just a friend.
"Really, i didn't expect that coming from you", You replied. There was this 'silent scream' moment you see from Luffy. "I love you too, Luffy."
You quickly take this moment to immeadiately surprise him with a kiss on the cheeks. Luffy's face turned bright red as he laughs it off.
"Shishishi! Lemme do it too!" said Luffy, and then he does it back to you. A slight blush appeared on your soft cheeks. "Your cheeks turned a little red!"
You two were having the time of your life when you suddenly noticed the crew peeking from the back.
"Well, well, look at who is dating right now", as Nami clapped for you two, congratulating you guys. Robin let out a laugh, accidently becoming the one that unites the feelings of you two.
"Y/N-SWAAAN, I WANT THAT TOO!!" Sanji exclaimed, while biting his lips of jealousy. Usopp and Chopper were hiding behind the crowd, as well Zoro, but he's sleeping in the corner.
"Yohoho! Looks like now y/n has her own soulmate!" as Brook views with enjoyment, while Franky takes picture of you two with a snail, Jinbe congratulates you two for being together.
Luffy let out a laugh, while you tried to contain your embarassment and blushing from the crew.

One Piece Advent Calender Christmas
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Door 25: CHRISTMAS!!!!
Yawning, you felt a strange force on you, making you groan before opening your eyes, blinking. The first thing you saw was your boyfriends crouch, which made you furrow your eyebrows and tilted your head back “Luffy?! What are you doing?”, you asked. “Oh! Morning J-AH!”, he lost balance and fell directly onto your wall, his pants now pressing into your cheek. “Luffy!”
“Sorry sorry”, he laughed and sat up, holding your Christmas sock in your hand. “Oops” “Bub, what did you do now?” “I wanted to give you something” “In my sock?” “Yeah! You got me a christmas card and cookies! And one of Namis mikans! So!” He shoved the sock into your hands and you looked inside. “You got me a Christmas card?” “Of course!” You dumped the socket out. Inside was a lot loose paper with some scribbles on it. “What are they?” “Coupons!”, he grinned and you picked them all up. Looking through them, you began to laugh.
“What?” “Lu, we do this every day” “I know!...I didn´t know what else to give you inside” “Well- I take the kiss one first”, you smiled and pressed a big kiss onto his lips. “shishishi! Soft” “Now come. It´s Christmas and we open up some presents” “PRESENTS!!!!”, he jumped up and dashed outside as you dressed up and walked outside, the rest soon coming. “PRESENTS PRESENTS!” The three idiots cheered loudly and all shook their heads at their antics. “As captain! I will hand out the presents!”, Luffy declared and grabbed one. “Who wants this?!” “THERE ARE NAMES ON IT!!!!”, shouted Nami and Luffy blinked. “Oh...ok. Eh...Sanji”
Soon the presents were given out and were being opened. You blinked at the 10 presents in front of you, not expecting one since your wish list had no material wish. “I love you all”, you said and they smiled. “And we love you”, Luffy hugged you from behind and Chopper your leg. “A whole bunch, Je! Thank you!” “Y-You guys I´ll die of cuteness” “What a nice death”, chuckled Robin. You got 2 books from Robin to read and an old recepy book from Sanji. “YES! I will try each single one out! These what don´t taste get Luffy” “Ok!”, he cheered and all laughed.
Nami got you a blue jewlery set and Chopper a holder for your virals. Usopp got you a drawn picture of the whole decorated Sunny in Christmas lights And Franky got you a shirt on it stood >Best little sister< with a star on it. Brook got you a bag of expensive tea and Jinbe got you a shell, shining just as bright as Somas scales. Zoro got you some scented Candles. “I didn´t know what else”, he groaned and you hugged him. “Thank you!” He smiled and patted your head and then came the small present from Luffy. Opening it, all gasped when they saw the ring, your eyes widen.
“Luffy-wha” “shishishi! It´s a promise ring! So that we stay together!”, grinning innocently, he pulled the ring out plus a chain that was around it. “My heart! I thought he-”, Sanji admitted. “We all! Hu”, Usopp breathed out. “And here I thought he would drop it”, stated Nami, making Jinbe and Brook laugh out. “That is Luffy”, admitted Franky. “Luffy would never commit himself to that”, yawned Zoro, all looking at him. “What?” “Ehm-” They showed you two off, hugging and pressing kisses to each other cheeks.
“My turn! my turn! Je, what is yours” “Oh I will-” “Nami, not today”, you smiled softly at her and she relaxed. “Just today. Tomorrow gives the double time” “A COAT!”, Luffy beamed and pulled the black coat out, the inside being red. “With a strawhat chain!!!!” he sparkled and pulled his jacket out, slipping the coat on. “HOW COOL I LOOK!” “Like a real emperor now”, admitted Robin. “Uh, it´s warm”, he admitted. “I used my magic on it. The inside keeps you warm but also cold, depending on the wheather”, you admitted. “I LOVE YOU!”, he declared and swooped you up under your butt. “I LOVE YOU ENDLESS! THIS IS AMAZING!” You chuckled and gave him a short kiss.
Once everyone opened their presents, you looked around. “Has anyone of you seen Soma?” “He said this morning that he was gonna get something and flew away”, admitted Chopper. “Yohohoho! And now, as musician, I would like to give you guys some Christmas carols. Special thanks to our muse here and I hope I do you justice with this. Merry Christmas, Goddess-san”, stated Brook and began to play Christmas carols, your heart warming at the sound of them.
The day was chaotic per usual but the Chaos felt so warm, warmer than usual and you were never more thankful for this crew, the friends, your family.
It was already evening before you could even blink, looking at the big tree with a soft smile as you were hugged from behind. “So this is Christmas?” “Yeah. How did you like it?” “We have to do this again! It was so much fun” “Indeed. Stressful perhaps but wonderful” The both of you laughed as “Luffy, I think you forgot one last wish!”, shouted Nami and Robin chuckled. “Ha?”, your captain looked at the crew. “Look up”, said Sanji with a whine. Both of you looked up. “A mistletoe”, you admitted, Robins devil fruit held the tinsel directly above your head. “What is this?”, asked Luffy. “It´s a tradition to kiss under it” ”Why?” “JUST KISS HER!”, all shouted and you laughed before pulling him in by his new coat and kissed him fully.
A little shocked, he quickly relaxed and kissed you back, his hands cupping your cheek and going full in. “How does he-”, nami began. “Fufufu~” “Oh boy. There will so be a baby here before we find the One Piece”, Usopp muttered. “BWAHAHAHHAHA!”, Franky cried fully. “Young love”, admitted Brook. “Our captain knows more than I thought”, smirked Zoro.
Pulling away, Luffy kept you close. “Can we do this every year? Kissing under this?Like this?” “As in our tradition?” “Yeah, for just the two of us. I like it”, beaming you laughed as the ship swayed suddenly. “WHOA!”, you all gasped as “SOMA!”, Chopper shouted as you saw the big head of your dragon. “Soma! Where were you?”, you asked and he dropped a gigantic pearl onto the deck.
“RICH I`M RICH YES!!!FINALLY!!!”, Nami jumped around the big pearl. “You mean Je is rich!”, Luffy stated..., “wait no. We”, he said and you laughed. “This crew now, yes. Thank you”, moving your hand you shrunk soma again but this time enough that he could freely jump around board, around the size of a panther. “Thank you, I love you too” Nudging against you, you smiled.
What a perfect christmas this was.
Tumblr media
And with that, I end it. Thank you to everyone that stayed around these 25 days of my Calender. It was a fun time and I hope you enjoyed the reading with all of the strawhats. I wish all of you a Merry Christmas! Stay safe and healthy.

OP: what if s/o is usually very affectionate but one day isn’t feeling good and isn’t affectionate at all. Monster trio edition!
Luffy: Luffy loves your hugs very much, he always hugging you back with a huge grin on his face to which you usually smile back. Today was different though, you didn’t give him a good morning kiss, no hug, not even a slight touch of your body. It made him wonder what was going on and didn’t completely notice at first that you were hanging out with anyone. After asking his crew Nami stated that when you first woke up it you looked very sad but tried to push it aside. Luffy goes to look for you and finds you in the aquarium all rolled up in the blankets on the couch watching the fish and mumbling to yourself. Luffy runs over and hugs you immediately startling you before you try to hide your face as tears run down your face.
“ (name) what’s wrong?” He was completely worried for you
“ Do I ever bother you Luffy? I worry that I bother you and everyone else on the ship. I feel like a bother and I wonder if I’m too clingy and needy and-and” you had tears running down your face holding onto the man
Luffy hugs you tightly immediately “ Why would you ever think that (name)? We all love you very much, me more than everyone else and I love who you are! I love when you hug me! I love you even more than meat!”
You look at him and nod your head, usually, someone saying they love you more the meat isn’t much but for Luffy, it’s pretty big and makes you smile and let out a small giggle hugging him tightly
“ I love you so much Luffy”
“ I love you too (name)! Shishishi”
Sanji: this morning during breakfast you didn’t look alike yourself, you smiled but to him, it was obvious that it wasn’t genuine. Even after everyone had eaten and left you didn’t go over to him and hug him, not even hold his hand and he knew something was wrong and stopped what he was doing to walk over to you
“What’s wrong darling?” He asks to which you usually smile and blush at the nicknames but you didn’t even lookup. You rubbed your eyes putting your head on the table
“ sweeti-“
“ Am I Ugly Sanji? I don’t feel beautiful like everyone else, I feel like a piece of trash on the side of the street and I feel like you could find someone way more beautiful than me. I don’t understand” you were crying holding your face
Sanji immediately pulled you into a hug “ shhh it’s okay” he starts to pet the back of your head and rub your back “ Your beautiful, extravagant, stunning. You like the brightest star in the solar system. You so amazing” he kisses your forehead before lightly lifting your chin
“ D-Do you mean it Sanji?” You look at him having your eyes be red from crying
“ Of course my love” he kisses your forehead again before going to your left cheek then your right and a light kiss on your lips “ To anyone who says otherwise I’ll kill them”
You nod your head and hug him tightly and cling to him not wanting him to get up to finish the dishes and he understands staying with you longer.
Zoro: Zoro isn’t usually one for PDA unless they are alone or you are guiding him by holding his hand so he doesn’t get lost. So he doesn’t pick up why you are feeling sad. He notices you are but can’t exactly pinpoint why until your both alone when you are both training. Usually, you would give him a kiss on the cheek or even a high five being smiling but during your training, you distracted and decides to ask what’s going on
“ Hey (name) why are you complicated distracted?” You don’t answer him to which he raised his voice and ask again
“ I DON'T KNOW!” You lash out which is very very rare until your hold your face and apologize “ S-sorry!” You try to hold back the tears “ I-I should go” and before you could leave Zoro grabs your hand and looks at you
“ I know something is wrong. Could you please tell me so I can know”
You start to cry having tears down your face biting your lip so hard it almost bleeds “ Am I too needy Zoro? Am I clingy? Annoying? Childish? Too affectionate? Bothersome?” You go to continue but Zoro immediately hugs you knowing you needed a hug to which you start to bawl your eyes and try not to cling to hin
“ You can hug me (name)” to which you cling to him putting your face into his chest still crying
“ I don’t think your any of those things and so what if you were clingy or childish or any of those things. I wouldn’t care. I love you for who you are. I-I don’t like to admit it but I do like it when you hug me, even if it’s in front of everyone” his face turns a bright red before trapping you completely in his arms “ It may not look like it and I may not be able to always be able to tell you how I feel, I’ve been told I don’t say it enough but I love you so much. To swordsmen who should never let anyone see their back, I would let you hold onto it, see the skin and allow your hands to roam it. I love you”
You look at him “ I love you too! I’m sorry for lashing out” your tears start to slow down and you roam your hands on his back to which he hums and you stay hugging for a while and blushes when the crew notices, usually he would have pulled you off but knowing you needed this and he secretly liked it, he let it slide it this once.
Thank you for reading this! I didn’t have any request and I wanted to write! Again sorry if this is a bit OOC!

hold my hand (i’ll hold yours)
read on ao3  rings my little bell sanji n luffy stans come get some food
It’s a quiet moment in the kitchen when Luffy takes Sanji’s hands into his own.
If it were anyone else (even a lady, Sanji admits) he would have pulled his hands away. They can’t come to harm, can’t be risked, not when Sanji has a crew to feed, not when Sanji has a family to feed. 
But this is Luffy, his captain, who had burned governments and conquerors and tyrants for daring to harm his crew. 
This is Luffy, his captain, who protects his crew’s treasures (hats, swords, tangerines, precious hats and books and shells -) just as much as he protects them. 
This is Luffy. 
And Luffy knows not to harm.
So Sanji lets him, carefully letting his hand go lax as Luffy pulls it away from where he’s prepping a meal. His captain’s fingers trail up Sanji’s wrist, mapping veins and skimming over fine hairs before trailing back down, to his knuckles, smooth and unbroken, and to callouses, worn from years of being a cook. 
Luffy’s quiet. Contemplative. Almost in the way he gets while staring out to sea on his special seat. 
His hand carefully traces the lines on Sanji’s palm, running them over and then pushing against the callouses and scars.
Sanji… Sanji knows his hands are his treasure. He can’t cook without them, can’t serve and protect and feed his beloved crew without them. It’s why he fights with his feet - keeping them far away from swords and flames with practiced proficiency. It’s why he keeps his hands in his pocket, lights his cigarette with precision, why he works to keep them safe. 
But - 
He is a cook. 
His hands are tool as much as a treasure, and no one is immune to slipping with a knife or burning with a hand too close to a pan. 
His captain’s thumb brushes over the scar he got from his first time trying to fillet a fish, when the knife sunk in just below his thumb and curving onto the back of his hand - small now, but monumental then when Sanji was eleven and scared of all the blood. Luffy’s hand traces up to when a glass shattered in the kitchen, leaving small pinpricks over Sanji’s hands that left a scar because he was terrified of letting Zeff know he fucked up. His pinkie finger, when Luffy glances by it, has lines of white marks from when Sanji decided to smoke and cook at the same time and smacked his hand right into the over rack. Little mistakes, forged into lessons. Little stories that his captain will never ask about, but Sanji will tell him anyway, after quiet moments like these. 
“Mmm,” Luffy hums, finger just passing by the starburst splotches on his fingertips when Sanji had been trying to work with grease the first time. “Your hands are cool Sanji!”
He looks at Sanji, bright and earnest, and Sanji can’t help but too flush and give a gentle smile, before putting down the ladle to take a drag of his cigarette. “Thank you, captain.”
“Shishishi!” Luffy laughs, and lets go of Sanji’s hands. 
And - well -
He doesn’t get these quiet moments with his captain often. Sanji snatches Luffy’s hand back, prompting another laugh from his captain.
He doesn’t say anything, and neither does Luffy. This time, Luffy just holds Sanji’s hand, gently and smiling, and rests his head down on the counter. 
Peaceful, quiet, and treasure safe, Sanji returns to cooking, captain by his side. 
Luffy wakes to warm brown and the gently rocking of the waves. The smell of something chemical is in the air, mixed with something sweet and - 
Oh.
He’s with Chopper, in the infirmary. Cool.
Well, he realizes as he returns to wakefulness, not cool. Bandages are around his chest, digging into his scar even as its clear Chopper tried to be careful, and swathes of white circle around his neck and legs and head. For once, his hands are unbandaged. 
Luffy turns to the side and - Oh.
It’s his cook, pile of bandages by his side, old and fresh, holding Luffy’s hand in his own. 
Sanji, Luffy thinks, quietly, eyes still bleary, as he looks at his cook. His bangs are shielding his face as he carefully traces Luffy’s hand, with soft, calloused fingers.
Oh, Luffy thinks, and lets it happen, sinking into the bed.
Luffy’s hands - Luffy’s hands are rough.  Even rubber, he’s not immune to cuts, the sharpness of ricks or blades, the playing of little boys in mountains that were never quite safe.
(Underneath the scar on his chest are long, faded marks, from a lucky bear strike. He’s never been immune from scars.)
His childhood was filled with fun - with adventure. He ran from dawn till dusk, scrambling over mountain rocks and letting sharp thorns cut into skin without care. They formed tinny scars, most disappearing over the years, fading into tan skinned and warmed by the sun. 
But - here, now, Sanji takes his hand and looks at it with scrutiny. His index finger slips into the groove where Luffy once impaled his hand in defense of a restaurant, his thumb just brushing the spot on his wrist that never quite faded from Porchemy’s spiked fists, made worse by molten gold from a god’s lightning. Sanji is… soft, with Luffy. Like how Luffy is with his hat, or Nami’s tangerines, or Zoro’s swords.
Like Luffy’s hands are treasure’s like Sanji.
(Which is weird. Luffy isn’t treasure. His hands were made to fight, to hurt, to be hurt, to protect. He stretches them out and snaps them back, purging them in fire and blood. 
His hands aren’t his treasure. They’re what he uses to protect his treasure.)
It’s… odd, being treated so gently. His crew likes to do that - treat him gently, with softness, almost like Makino used to. Hands that tousle his hair or bandage his wounds without any hurting force, a gentle hug or a rub on his shoulder or back when he’s napping. It’s weird, and so unlike how it was with Ace and Sabo.
He thinks he likes it though.
Especially as his cook treats him with such care, fingers dipping over fresh scars and new wounds from their latest fight, thumbing gently at knuckles to get a better look at the scratches. Sanji’s hands rub too deep at one point, and Luffy’s skin starts stretching. Sanji doesn’t stop though, only gives a little laugh and continues with his ministrations before finally reaching for the bandages.
Luffy, with glazed eyes, still watches. 
His cook is gentle. His cook is kind. He’s seen it a thousand times before. 
It’s so rarely directed at him, though.
He’s quiet as the bandages get wrapped with careful precision around each individual finger, binding and soothing with salves laid underneath. Sanji’s quick with it, skill in every feature. 
After Sanji’s finished, his head lifts up, just a little, and Luffy can see the bags under his eyes. He’s - sad, but in the proud kind of way, in the loving kind of way. 
It’s not even a thought in Luffy’s mind as he squeezes Sanji’s hand in his own and gives his cook a blinding grin. He can’t quite muster up the energy to give a laugh, but he hopes the love in his eyes will be enough.
Sanji jumps, whipping around like he got caught red-handed, before alighting on Luffy’s face. 
“Shitty-Captain,” He grins, odd without a cigarette in the corner. “Let me go get Chopper for you, alright?”
He’s only an inch up before Luffy summons all his energy and squeezes Sanji’s hand, pulling him back down.
“Stay,” He rasps, quiet, tired, black on the edge of his vision. But it’s enough.
“Aye-aye, Captain,” Sanji says, squeezing his hand back and nestling further into the infirmary bed. His voice grows softer. “Aye.”
Luffy gives him another smile, unable to feel the callousness of Sanji’s hands through his bandages, but feeling the warmth just the same, and falls asleep, precious cook by his side.

Holiday Prompt #16 With Luffy
Tumblr media
A/N : I hope I didn’t already use this pic- thank you for requesting!!! 🥰🖤 ilyt :DD thank you for being proud of me, 🍪 🥺 hope you enjoy this! :))
H.P. #16 : “I pray Santa doesn’t give me coal this year..”
Summary : In which, Luffy decides to cheer up his significant other and shine the positivity of Christas spirit. not good with summaries
-
“Do we really have to do this?”
Hearing the Christmas music being played and sung by Brook in the background, you sigh softly at the sight of Usopp, Chopper and Franky cheering and singing the lyrics loudly to their hearts content.
Sanji was in the kitchen, whipping up a special feast for dinner, Zoro was napping on the deck and light snow falling down upon him.
Robin was currently on the upper deck, unboxing the many decorations that the two girls, Usopp and Luffy bought to hang around the ship, while you and Nami were setting up the decorations on the Christmas tree.
“Why not? It’s a tradition and plus, it’ll be fun to celebrate with the crew.” Nami smiles as she hangs another ornament up onto tree.
You only sweat drop at the sight of Luffy screaming the lyrics with a huge grin.
“NEXT SONG! YO-HO-HO-HO~
Chopper the Blue-Nosed Reindeer
Had a very shiny nose
And if you ever saw it
You would even say it glows
All of the other humans
Used to scream and call him names
They never let poor Chopper
Join in any human games!
Then one foggy Winter day
One human came to say
"Chopper, with your nose so bright
Won't you come home with me tonight?"
Then how the humans loved him
As they shouted out with glee
"Chopper the Blue-Nosed Reindeer
You'll go down in history!””
You smile slightly at the lyrics and just shake your head at Luffy’s weirdness and hung up another decoration.
“I don’t know, I guess I just think it’s so.. over the top. Especially with Luffy begging to invite everyone we’ve met to celebrate with us..” you mutter, trailing off as you thought back to your memory from yesterday.
Nami scowls at the memory and you could see the tense aura radiating off of her. “He’s seriously insane..” Nami suddenly turned back to her cheery mood and smiles at you.
“So [Name]-“
“[NAAAAMEEEE]!”
Before you could react, you suddenly felt yourself be shoved down onto the deck, Luffy on top of you with a wide grin. “[Name]! [Name]! I have a question! Are you listening?!”
Hearing his words and his eagerness level of a child’s, you grunt a bit and look up at him hovering over you. “Yes, I’m listening. What is it, Luffy?”
Nami just stares in shock, Robin giggling a bit to herself and the others just ignored and continued to sing or do whatever they wanted.
“What do you want for Christmas?”
Taken back, you furrow your bows at him and his random question. “Uh, I don’t know.. why?”
“Because, I wanna know! Can you guess what I want for Christmas?” Luffy smiles brightly and you couldn’t help but smile at how excited and joyful he was about this holiday.
“Meat?” You mused, slowly pushing Luffy off so you could sit up properly. Luffy slides off of you and laughs. “Shishishi~,”
“Yeah! But also, I want to spend Christmas with all of you!” He grins widely with closed eyes.
The others, who were listening, were surprised before they relaxed and smiled at their Captain, hearts warming at his words.
You smile softly at Luffy and his pure heart and just shake your head, getting up and dusting off your clothes. “Looks like you’re getting everything you want for Christmas then. Your list is all checked off.”
Luffy smiled softer towards you, about to speak before Sanji interrupted him. “Oi, dinner time! Feast is all ready!”
Luffy quickly snaps his head to the kitchen with stars in his eyes and drool coming out of his mouth. “MEAT!”
You laugh at Luffy’s actions and ruffle his hair slightly, bringing his attention back to you. “Let’s go, Captain.”
“Yeah!”
-
“[Name], you didn’t answer me. What do you want for Christmas?”
Hearing Luffy, you glance towards him, sitting on the ground with his legs crossed and his straw hat resting on top of his head.
You two were currently alone in your room, you rummaging through your clothes while Luffy watched you.
“I already said I don’t know.. I never thought about it.” You shrug before turning away with a pout. “Though, I pray Santa doesn’t give me coal this year..”
Luffy seemed interested in your statement as he tilts his head curiously at you, confusion running through his head.
“Why would you get coal for a Christmas?” He then thought about what Makino taught him as a kid and he gasps dramatically, eyes widening.
“Have you been naughty, [Name]?!”
You blink a couple times at Luffy’s genuine shock and laugh heartily aloud, which confused the poor captain further.
“I suppose I have been..” you shake your head playfully and continue to go through your clothes, organizing your things.
“But, I don’t know, every year, I either would find myself with coal to warm myself up during the winters or I wouldn’t get anything at all.”
Luffy listens intently as he leans back on the floor before he stretches his arms and propels himself onto your bed.
“It never really bothered me whether I had something or not, but I’m not looking forward to coals anymore.” You glance back to Luffy, to see he moved and was now laying down comfortably on your bed.
He seemed to be in thought.
You close your drawer and walk over towards the bed, taking a seat at the edge and smile lightly. “What did you use to get for Christmas, Luffy?”
Luffy hums softly, staying quiet for a moment before smiling softly. “The same thing every year as a kid. Just a fistful of love punches from Gramps, and then meat and clothes from Makino and the old mayor in my village!” He laughs a bit at the memory of his childhood.
You giggle lightly and place a hand on his arm and rubbed it gently. “Sounds like a fun time.” You hum and Luffy nods with a better smile.
Soon, a lightbulb went off his head as he grins childishly. “I have an idea..”
Your smile quickly fades as a brow was soon raised towards him. “...what is it?”
Luffy didn’t answer you and only chuckles to himself as he gets up and rushes out the room, calling for Usopp and Brook.
You sigh at Luffy and stared at the doorway. “He’s a weird one.. but he’s my weird one.”
-
“HO, HO, HO!”
“Why?..”
You deadpan at the sight of Luffy in the all too familiar red and white outfit, a fake white beard over his face and the proper red hat to go with.
“Luffy, what are you up to..?” Usopp and Nami sigh and Luffy clears his throat. “I’m Santa!”
“Don’t be stupid.. who would actually-“ Sanji was interrupted by a yell.
“WOAH, ITS SANTA CLAUS!!” Chopper shrieks in awe, eyes widening with stars inside, at the sight.
“Never mind..” Sanji sighs, exhaling a puff of smoke from his lit cigarette.
Franky, Brook, Robin and you stood from the sidelines and watched, before you walk over to Luffy and grabbed at his exposed cheek.
“Wow.. who knew Santa was so stretchy?..” you joke, pulling at his skin and watching it stretch out, Luffy grunting a bit.
“Oi! Stop that!” He shouts before clearing his throat again. “I’m Santa Claus, and I have presents!”
“PRESENTS?!” Chopper and Usopp yell in unison and you sigh once more at them and their gullibility.
“Yep! And I have a special one for [Name]!”
Now this piqued your interest. “For me?” You question with brows furrowed as Luffy reached into his bag and pulled out a box.
“Mmh! Someone told me you were afraid of getting coals this Christmas! So I came to give you something else instead!”
You eye him suspiciously before opening the box and widening your eyes.
Reaching in, you grasp the item in your hand and pulled it out, staring at it closely.
Then, a small smile broke from your lips.
Luffy stared at you closely and waited for your reaction. “Wellll? Do you like it?” Luffy was no longer doing his deep voice and was now back to his regular self.
The others stare in silence and curiosity, wondering what it was.
A snort escaped your lips as you smiled wider. “You’re so.. weird, Luffy.” You mumble, staring at the object in your hand and held it tightly.
Luffy grins as he pulls down his fake beard to show his warm smile.
“This is much better than coals. I love it, thank you Luffy.” Clutching it tight in your fist, you wrap your arms around Luffy and hugged him tightly, to which he gladly returned.
“Shishishi!~ I’m glad you like it!” He smiles warmly with his eyes closed and faint blush appearing on his cheeks.
You gave a light peck to his cheek and took a look at the item once more, a genuine smile embracing your features.
...
“Wait, what is it?” Usopp asks, interrupting the sweet moment between the two of you.
You chuckle and held it up in between your fingers. “It’s a rock with a smiley face on it.”
Silence overtook the crew.
“HAH?!”
-
a/n : I feel like this wasn’t my best work— but I still really liked this, even if I couldn’t think of anything 😅 but I hoped you all did too!! So sorry this took a while and if it’s not what you expected either! :(

The Rubber Band
So uhhh…that Rock Band AU thing that I kept coming up with headcanons for? Yeah…I ran with it lmao though I’m establishing now that this in no way is meant to be GOOD and is instead meant to be SILLY and ENJOYABLE and FUN! I had fun writing it, even if it only took me like 2 hours haha
Credit goes to @ohpineapples​ for the initial idea (also 2 OCs make a very brief cameo in this, though I only own one, but for the sake of this AU they exist in the same universe and are best friends, if for no other reason than because Skylar definitely would take one look at Sophie and say “We’re best friends now”. She’s the extrovert I wish I was lmao)
Also featured: slight Frobin, because I can’t leave well enough alone lol 
Word Count: 1674, will include a read more but they hardly ever work on mobile so RIP sorry in advance lol
Anyway, I hope you enjoy the silliness! (all lyrics are taken straight from the One Piece wiki so if anything’s incorrect I apologize!)
Tumblr media
Battle of the Bands: Sabaody Park City! Prizes awarded to the Top 3 bands! 1st Place awarded title of “Best Band Ever”.
… 
Zoro was by far the easiest to recruit. 
When Luffy had strolled into the music shop, old-as-shit hand-me-down guitar strung across his shoulders, the green-haired percussionist hadn’t had much thought beyond “drumsticks”. This is, of course, because he hadn’t even noticed the other boy come in, an amazing feat considering the volume he exuded; but when Zoro was focused on something, it took a lot to break that focus. In this case, that focus lay on a set of 5B, dark oak, drumsticks. Zoro fumbled with the almost-matching stick in his pocket, older now but no less powerful, similar build though lighter in color. These would go perfectly with it.
And so it didn’t take much to convince Zoro to join; especially after Luffy helped him “borrow” the set.
They tried to recruit a band manager next, eager to get the show on the road, but the orange-haired prospect they’d met at the local carnival practically laughed in their faces.
“You call this a band? There’s two of you! That guitar’s strings are tied in place! I’m not throwing my weight behind a couple of idiots who don’t even know how to maintain their instruments! Do you even know how to write songs?” “Why write them? It’ll come to us when we play!” Nami threw her hand over her face. “See, this is why we need you!” The boy smiled at her, brighter than the sun, and she sighed.
“What do you even call this ‘band’?”
“The Rubber Band!” 
She walked away.
They’d returned to her days later, a long-nosed, bass-playing, songwriter and a curly-browed keyboardist in tow, guitar strings neatly replaced. She sized them up, weighing the pros and cons, and crunching the numbers, in her head. Finally, she spoke up, dollar signs in her eyes.
“My rate is 70% of everything you make, plus a fee of $500 for every event I land you.” 
“Hey isn’t that-”
“Of course, Nami-swan!~ Whatever you want dear! Nothing is too unreasonable for you, my love!~” The blond, Sanji, twirled around her, hearts in his eyes as he continued asking if he could make her anything to eat. She could get used to that.
Luffy agreed as well, not seeing a problem with it, as of course they’d make plenty of money as they journeyed to become the Best Band Ever. Usopp was the only one to voice any concerns, saying that “clearly as the true leader of this band”, they should negotiate for a lower price. Nami’s glare quickly silenced any further complaint.
They played a few local venues, and along the way picked up a curious reindeer with an affinity for the tambourine. Growth was, unfortunately, scarce though, as Nami brought up one day after receiving a call for a gig in the big city.
“Well we’re not getting anywhere without transportation.” She was right. Usopp’s beaten up car had finally quit on them only the week before, and they’d yet to find something up to the task. They sat around a table at the bar they’d just performed at, munching on snacks that Sanji had snuck in. Usopp was working on some new material, as well as their logo (a pirate’s jolly roger with a straw hat, for personality, and to dissuade those who thought Chopper was their mascot), and Zoro placed his freshly polished drumsticks pristinely in their case. Their attention was diverted when a woman approached them, smiling in a way that set them both at ease and on edge at the same time.
“Hello, I just wanted to congratulate you on your set. You played very well, especially you young man,” She said, particularly speaking to Chopper, the inexplicable reindeer. 
“I don’t need your compliments, you dummy,” The boy gushed, blushing at the woman’s words. For her part she didn’t appear offended, and even chuckled slightly at his antics.
“My name is Robin. I overheard you need a way to get around?” Nami eyed her warily.
“Yes…we do, but there’s not enough in the budget to purchase a whole new vehicle.”
“Oh, my husband owns a tour bus. He used to travel with his own group before we met. If it’s no trouble for you, we’d be happy to help.” As she spoke, a large, bright blue headed man walked up, startling the group with his rather eccentric look.
“It would be SUPER no big deal! We’ve been wanting to travel for a while ourselves!”
Not one to look a gift horse in the mouth, the band quickly said yes, and so finally began their trip to Sabaody Park City for the Battle of the Bands tournament.
They’d made only one stop for fuel on the way to the city, inadvertently picking up a probably homeless man named Brook, who was hoping to meet a friend in the city. Though most of the group had warned Luffy against it, there was no convincing the boy otherwise, and so far it had actually proved a fruitful venture. The man, thin as a skeleton, was proficient in music as well, and assisted Usopp with writing songs for the next show.
When they’d finally made it, their first real stop was the venue Nami had booked, in hopes of making some quick cash to prepare for the tournament. Robin had assisted with setting up the stage, helping to fight off Franky from installing pyrotechnics (“We can’t afford to pay for fire damages!” Nami had screamed), and despite Luffy’s insistence she stayed well away from the stage while they played. Along the way, they’d discovered she had a rather lovely voice, and seeing as how Luffy’s voice tended to sound like two whales fighting during a car wreck in the middle of a bagpipe festival, they’d tried to convince her to become the official lead singer. So far she’d shrugged them off, saying she wasn’t one for the spotlight.
For the next week, Nami continued booking gigs, somehow extorting extra money out of each new venue owner, until finally the day of the tournament had arrived. They’d walked in as a group, filing past dozens of other bands. They shuffled up to the signin, Luffy writing in big, bold letters “THE RUBBER BAND” across the paper, taking up at least five slots. They ignored the event coordinators’ griping in favor of finding a seat, as they waited for the event to start. 
One by one, bands began to play; the audience determining who would move on and who was knocked out. The Rubber Band managed to make it through the first few rounds, fumbling slightly in the round before the finals. Until this point, they’d mostly gotten by through Luffy shredding on his beat-up guitar. His energy was infectious, and if he missed a note or played a weird chord, most didn’t notice; but now it was the big leagues, and the competition was fierce.
It was down to three bands, and they watched as a man with red hair screamed into the mic while a masked blond man played the drums. When they finished, the apparent leader taunted the next performer: a tattooed guitarist with a curly blond drummer and a silver-haired singer (and was that a polar bear playing the triangle?). Overall, the semi-finals passed in a blur, as it became apparent just what they were up against. 
Luffy wasn’t discouraged at all, however, and merely used this as fuel to further insist Robin join them on stage. In his mind, if she sang for them they were sure to win! His pleas remained unanswered, until it was once again their turn to take the stage, and the dark haired woman followed them up to the mic. She smiled at Luffy’s excitement, and they all ignored the cries from an earlier band about the “new member”, instead settling into a quick, upbeat rhythm. As the crowd started to get into it, Robin launched into the lyrics.
“Arittake no yume o kaki atsume, Sagashi-mono o sagashi ni yuku no sa, ONE PIECE!” 
It was a song she’d memorized after helping the others work so hard to write it, and learn it, specifically for the Battle of the Bands. Robin was nervous, having never purposely put herself in the spotlight like this, especially so literally. But as the crowd grew more enthused, dancing along with their music, she found herself feeling more and more confident, even beginning to sway with the music in her own sort of dance, smile growing wide on her face. 
“Arittake no yume o kaki atsume, Sagashi-mono o sagashi ni yuku no sa, poketto no koin, soreto you wanna be my friend? We are, we are on the cruise! WE ARE!”
Before the group knew it they were finished, sweating and panting beneath the stage lights, the crowd roaring in their ears as they yelled “encore! encore!” Luffy raised his arms above his head, the biggest smile stretched across his face as he started cheering along with them. The tournament coordinator’s voice came over the loudspeaker, straining to be heard over the loud cheers.
“Well, I think we have a pretty clear winner, folks! Give it up for The Rubber Band!” The crowd’s screams grew deafening, and in the confusion Luffy had somehow snaked his way through the crowd to drag Nami, Franky, and Brook onto the stage with the others.
“Come on, guys! We did it!” 
“Luffy, why did you drag me up here…”
“Shishishi, come on! They want an encore!” He said, ignoring the groans of his exasperated manager. The song started up again, spurred forth by Sanji and Zoro (who seemed to be competing over who could play louder), and those without instruments joined Robin at the front, singing along with the lyrics that, at this point, they all knew by heart.
And with the crowd screaming along, it was pretty clear… 
They truly were the Best Band Ever.

stranger love.
(for my wonderful friend @shishiswordsman, who has helped me through some tough times over these last few months, and who deserves the world!)
Luffy watches, arms folded on the railing, as Law walks across the quarterdeck. There’s a way to his step. Something that makes it impossible for Luffy to turn away from.
“Torao,” he calls, the word tumbling from his mouth without thought, breaking the stillness of the night. Law pauses, shifting the hold on his sword ever-so-slightly, and Luffy stares, fixated. He doesn’t think, can’t help it really, just says, “I like it when you do that.”
There’s something in there, in Law. Something Luffy wants. Something he must have.
Law says nothing for the longest time, eyes snapping to him the only indication he has heard Luffy at all. He holds his gaze. The silence between them is suffocating in the midnight heat, but Luffy doesn’t mind it, even grins a little, slightly feral. Luffy doesn’t care what Law’s expression means. Just … likes it. Likes the way that Law looks at him, through him, like he can see Luffy’s heart—or deeper than that. Like he can see Luffy.
“Do what?” Then, as if annoyed by his own question, Law makes a ‘tch’ sound, pulling the brim of his hat down and turning his eyes to the sea. “Whatever.”
The word is mumbled; embarrassed, almost.
Luffy wonders what he feels when he looks to the blue out there. If he feels the same thing Luffy does—the burn in his chest, a tug deep inside, shaking hands, the excitement that makes it hard to breathe, to think, to move. He wonders if Law sees the ocean, smells that smell, the salt; if he can taste it, feel the freedom, breathe it in, the peace that settles.
Law’s always calm. Law doesn’t run off the ship when they stop at a new island, he doesn’t whoop when there’s a Sea King in the distance; not like Luffy or not like Usopp, or Zoro or Franky. Law doesn’t stop to explore, Law already knows, and he doesn’t do silly things like get his head stuck in holes or get excited when they depart from shore.
His eyes are still on the horizon, watching as stars strangle the sky, strikingly bright. There is a darkness that rips through him. One that fascinates.
Luffy knows him. Law is so calm and Law is so quiet, and he is untouchable; smells like eucalyptus after battle, and mint in the mornings, sounds like the flicking of pages of a book and the click of a heel on wooden floor.
And suddenly, desperately, Luffy realises he what he wants. Without thinking, he’s gripping the railing, flying across the quarter deck with a loud laugh. He lands before Law, just inches from him, Luffy’s nose almost scraping his chest, Law’s warmth spreading through his own body.
These things—they always start in the strangest of ways.
He is calm when he speaks: “Mugiwara-ya.” But Luffy can feel his heart; hear it, almost, this fast, impossible beat that leaves him a little breathless. And he can’t say why. He can’t possibly know. His crew are so easy to read and understand, but Traffy is different, Traffy is unknown, and that has Luffy excited, has him fascinated.
When he reaches out to touch him, his fingers are thrumming, and Torao doesn’t move at all, is just still like a statue, like a marine in uniform, completely stoic. And it’s so nice. The moonlight is playing this dancing game in Law’s eyes that reminds Luffy of the ocean at dusk, all orange and gold, and he pulls him down and close so their noses just brush, Law’s breath warm and minty on Luffy’s skin. His beard scratches under his palm, which is kind of fascinating, because Luffy has never been able to grow a beard, and Sanji and Usopp would never let him this close.
“Torao.” The word falls out of his mouth, Law’s face heating beneath his fingertips. “I like… I like it when you…”
So weird. So weird that words are gone, that all he can think of is pictures, images so brief and fleeting that Luffy couldn’t possibly ever explain them. Half-awake, speechless in a foreign bed—the beeping of medical equipment, the clink of glass, his chest on fire. And Traffy’s standing over him, reading the endless list of numbers that trail across an old computer screen; he whispers, “You won’t die here.” Then, standing in Mingo’s castle, Law’s silhouette before him. Blood dripping, curving the edge of his blade, red, red, red, and Luffy can’t breathe then, couldn’t possibly, chest sharp, like all the air around him has just been snatched away.
Torao stares.
Luffy pulls him closer, and he’s not sure what to do, consumed by images and thoughts and feelings, staring deep into Traffy’s eyes. He wants… more. He wants to feel each breath, each bristle of hair, draw across the faint white patches that spread over Law’s skin.
Luffy traces his mouth. Rubs his thumb across the bottom of Law’s lips, so soft, so nice. And Law doesn’t move. Doesn’t speak. But Luffy wants him to. Desperately—wants to shake words out of him, to have more of him, his thoughts, his mind, wants more.
But before he can demand it, before Luffy makes him talk, Torao shifts.
“I’m going to—” His mouth is over Luffy’s now, and he’s not sure if Law is talking, or if Luffy’s just feeling his lips move, the heat of his breath forming sounds he’s so frantic to hear. “I’m going to—”
It’s quite simple then, really.
Luffy kisses him. Once, twice—and then deeper, urgent, like he can’t get enough of Law, like he’ll die without it. And he thinks, maybe he will. Because Law tastes like salt, as forceful as tidal wave that swallows the deck. He’s warm like the sun, the rays of light that rest on Luffy’s back as he sits on the figurehead. He’s everything that Luffy needs right then, the thrumming of purpose, the excitement and drive that forever pulls him forward. Bodies pressed together, Luffy doesn’t know where he starts and Law ends.
Luffy couldn’t wish for anything more.
When they break, Luffy’s head spins. The moon is blinding, then. Like the sky has exploded into light, bright and beautiful in its silence.
Law takes a deep breath. He’s not smiling, but his eyes are shining. And Luffy sees something in them. In Law. It’s hard to think. Everything is not the same.
And Luffy wants to say again: I like it when you do that. The blood that drips from your sword, your voice, your hands, I like you, you. He wants to say so much but it’s all unsayable, images again, fleeting thoughts of Law that flicker like fire.
So Luffy says nothing.
It’s all quite complicated.
And then—
It isn’t.
Law’s mouth on his—the sound of his fingers brushing across Luffy’s hat, the taste of salt, the laughter that threatens to bubble from his chest.
“Shishishi, Traffy. I like it when you do that.”
Law hums, smiling beneath Luffy’s mouth, warming him from head to toe.
And these things: they always start in the strangest of ways.

My part for the @lawlu-events BigBang 2018/19
The story got illustrated by the awesome artist @novicecomics
How was something like that even possible? How long did the other one sleep in the bright sun? Why did his friends not wake him up?
Zorro’s skin was red and raw, and Law was sure, that painful blisters would appear on his chest after a while.
“And… how long did you sleep in the sun? Did you use any kind of sunscreen?” “No. And uh- not long, I just took a short nap” Zorro was confused, what was all this about? Why did Nami insist on sending him to the doctor? Why did Luffy agree on it so quickly? Usually Luffy was more carefree. Zorro could not remember a single time of Luffy agreeing on visiting a doctor without someone being gravely injured or showing clear signs of sickness.
“A short nap?” “Yes, a short nap on the deck of the boat.” Luffy started to giggle. “Short? You fell asleep right after breakfast! You woke up at noon to eat something and drink beer and then continued to sleep! You slept the entire day!”
Luffy exclaimed while wobbling on the chair. It nearly felt, as if it was not possible for him to stay still for a moment. He may be talking to Zorro, but his gaze was fixed on Law. The doctor felt uneasy because of the intense stare.
Zorro noticed. Luffy was eager about something. That behavior clearly indicated, that Luffy wanted something. It had to do with the doctor, otherwise Luffy had let Usopp accompany him to the office, without insisting on going by himself.
“…” Law looked at Zorro with utter disbelieve. This could not be possible. If he did not know it better, he would think the other one had been cooked alive.
“Anyway. I can prescribe you a mild lotion, it will cool the irritated skin and help with the natural skin repair. Please refrain from direct sun in the next days and in general use sun screen to protect yourself. Skin Cancer is one of the aftermaths of repetitive sun burns.”
Law kept the more scientific and medical details to himself. Most people did not care about that anyway.
“Yeah, yeah.” Zorro yawned, while the doctor applied some of the lotion. After the treatment he threw the disposable gloves away, before turning around to watch the two of them. During the entire procedure Law had felt Luffy’s eyes on himself. It was somewhat unnerving. The worst thing was, it did not feel like the other one wanted to control him. Wanted to check, if he was doing everything right. Law felt like Luffy was watching himand not the procedure.
“Okay, I am done, you can-“He hesitated and took a look at his patient again. Snoring?! He was snoring. Why was he sleeping?! How did he-. It had been less than a minute?! Luffy laughed, while examining the expression on Torao’s face. It was always amusing to watch people’s expressions, when they encountered his friends! “He falls asleep easy! Let him nap! Or he will be grumpy!” Luffy got up with a grin on his face, before leaving the room, trailing towards the adjacent room. Torao’s desk was located there, he wanted to take a look around! He was curious!
Law watched Zorro for a moment, before turning towards Luffy, following him. “I guess, he can rest here for a while and later return to you- what are you doing?”
The other one was leaning over his table, examining the things he had on the table. There were not many things, considering that he had to share the work space with the other doctors. The only personal thing decorating the table was a single picture.
It was an old one. It meant a lot to Law.
“You looked as grumpy as child, as you look now! Shishishi” Luffy said with a warm smile. At first, he wanted to take the frame into his hands. He wanted to examine it closer, but he felt instinctively that it was something very dear to Torao. As much as he liked to disregard certain rules… no, this was something personal Torao was not willing to share. Yet.
The desk was neat and clean, entirely different than from the old hag’s desk. A lot of empty bottles had been standing around, random books and scraps of paper. Weird books with disgusting looking skin diseases and other kinds of gross stuff Luffy did not care about.
“I was not grumpy.” Law said with a bitter voice. The picture had been taken shortly after he had been adopted by the Donquixote family. He had hated everyone’s guts back then.
“You were. Look how big your frown is! Even bigger, than earlier, when you saw me again!”
Luffy looked up from the photograph, locked his eyes into Laws.
“Who is that man? Your father?” They looked entire differently, but Bellemere also looked different than Nami and her sister. Family did not mean, that people had to share visual characteristics! Family was much more than blood after all.
“Yes, I mean no, He was-. It does not matter.”
Law did not want to talk about Corazon. As much as he would like to think back about his warmth and love, it always was bound to the feeling of grief and loss. He missed him. It hurt. The logical consequence was not thinking back, trying to push away the thoughts. But then again, was it not something ignorant to do? Not thinking about happy times, because they made him sad? Was that disrespectful?
“It does matter. At least for you” Luffy said, before getting up, walking around the desk and stopping in front of him.
“I am sure he was a good father.” Law frowned, glaring daggers at the smaller one. This brat- he had no idea. Yes. Corazon had been a good father. Law disliked the way the Strawhat just came into his office and started questioning personal things. Law wanted to get rid of him. He wanted to push the other one away, like he always did with potential friends nowadays.
“As soon as your friend wakes up, I will send him back to you.” “Alright!” Law felt uneasy. It was, as if the other one had seen through his façade. Something was there. Something he could not pinpoint.
“Strawhat?”
“Yes, Torao?” Luffy turned around, beaming with a grin on his face. “I do not want to have another appointment with one of your little friends tomorrow.” “Oh! Do not worry! I watch out for my people!”
After the other one had left, Law let himself fall down on his chair. With a sigh he leaned back, sinking deep into the comfortable cushions. And he had thought, that yesterday had been annoying. How naïve he felt now for thinking that. Maybe he should have just taken the weeks of mandatory vacation, instead of this nightmare.
Why did he think, that a cruise ship tour could be enough of a distraction from his problems?! He cursed himself internally, while staring at the wooden picture frame. The frame was burnt in one corner. Corazon’s doing. He smiled for a second, thinking about the incident. Soon his thoughts drifted elsewhere, so he pushed them away. Again and again.
He did not like the Strawhat boy. At first glance the other one seemed rather goofy and moronic. He seemed like one of these people, who caused chaos wherever they went. On the other hand, Law had an uneasy feeling about him in his guts. The way the Strawhat had looked at the picture, the way he had talked to him. Luffy was by no means as dumb as he might appear first. The Strawhat had been quick at coming to a conclusion. His staring and grinning. He had known. But how? Law had always thought he had a rather good poker-face. One of the things you learned in the Donquixote family. Conceal your true feelings, hide your motives, survive. Sometimes, when Law thinks back, he notices more and more, that Cora-san had been the only one being completely honest with him.
If someone like the Strawhat could look through him, who else could see through the façade? Was he overthinking things? God. He felt the dull throbbing of a beginning headache in his skull.
“Damn Strawhat” he murmured to himself, just to hear half a chuckle, half a yawn. Zorro was standing in the doorframe, looking at Law with tired eyes.
“You look done” he murmured before heading towards the door, “Don’t overthink Luffy.” Zorro said before leaving. Apparently Luffy had taken interest on Law. Maybe he could have warned the doctor, then again, he was too tired to think about a proper way to describe a force like Luffy. He should find the others and then continue to nap.
Law looked dumbfounded. What? Apparently, his thoughts were obvious. He sighed and leaned back in his chair. Maybe he should do it like Dr. Kureha and drink away his memories and dark thoughts. It seemed easier than coming to terms with them in a proper and healthy way. Not that his way of dealing with emotional stress was healthy. With a sigh he stopped looking at the picture showing himself sitting on Cora-sans lap. His round face was showing an ugly pout, cheeks red of embarrassment and childish tears swelling up in his eyes.
Law never had liked attention. Neither as kid, nor now. The picture had been taken shortly, after he joined the Donquixote family. Cora-san had wanted to take a picture of them both. Something like father and son. Back then, Law had not been able to accept Cora-san as father. In the beginning he had only seen Cora-san as a weird old man, who took him out of pity from the orphanage. Later he had learned, that it had been Doflamingo’s doing. Pointing out Law’s tragic past and pushing Cora-sans buttons. A promising doctor’s son was a nice addition to his pawnsfamily. Not that Law minded. It was probably the best, that could have happened.
Law sighed at his thoughts and looked down at the frame again. On contrary to his own grumpy expression, Cora-san had grinned widely. One of his huge hands was resting on Laws shoulder, the other pointed towards the camera. As if Law had not known, what to do in such a situation. Cora-san had tried so hard to make him smile. More than once. He had failed. By now Law wished, he had smiled more. For Cora-san sake and maybe for his own.
With a silent sigh he got up and started to clean the desk, as well as the treatment room. It was not his job to clean. They had cleaning staff in charge of disinfecting everything after each treatment. Right now, it was all Law needed. Something to do. Something to keep himself busy. Something to occupy his body and therefore restrict his mind.
His shift would end soon. He wanted nothing more, than to take a few drinks and at least try to get some sleep. His sleep-deprivation also correlated with his mood. The less sleep, the darker and depressed his mood got. One could only work so much, before the body pulled the break and forced one to rest. Stupid damping and calming chemicals released by the body to prevent damage due to sleep-deprivation. It was difficult to fight versus the own hormonal cycle. Power of hormones, synapsis and receptors was too strong.
Law busied himself until Dr. Kureha took the shift over. He did not even listen to her banter about how everything was too clean and why the ship even paid a cleaning staff if Law was doing all by himself. Grumpy old hag. She should stick closer to her wine and let him be by himself.
When Zorro arrived at his friends table, Luffy was shoveling food down his throat and Nami was sipping on a cocktail that looked too fancy to contain enough alcohol for Zorro’s taste.
“Oi. Zorro. Luffy said you were as red as the lobster he ate earlier. Better not nap in the sun tomorrow!” Nami said with a taunting voice. She had warned him, before he had fallen asleep in the sun. The Redhead had even offered him some sun-screen (not for free though).
“Maybe, dunno. Does not matter, will heal.”
Luffy looked at him and nodded before trailing off, gathering more food to devour.
“Luffy found a new victim. Doctor seemed like he is about to lose it. He looked done, when he saw Luffy and me.”
Nami raised one eyebrow. She was not sure if it was really Luffy’s fault this time or if it was the bright red skin colour of Zorro, that had made the doctor wonder. Then again, Luffy’s behavior earlier had been weird. He had listened to her and brought Zorro to the doctor. Without a fuss! That had been surprising…
“How did the doctor look?” Usopp asked, wondering if it was the same one as yesterday.
“Dark hair, darker skin type, some tattoos, tired, grumpy.” “Yeah, sounds accurate.” Usopp thought about the creepy appearance of the doctor. He had not looked like the typical doctor in a white coat with a nice smile! More than the horror movie kind of doctor. He had been nice and competent though, so … Usopp would not complain.
“Luffy mentioned, that he invited him for barbeque today, but the doctor declined.” Nami looked at her two friends, before smiling cat-like. “Who wants to bet? The doctor will join us for dinner at least once before the cruise-trip ends?” Silence.
They all knew, what was going to happen.
“Oh, c’mon” Nami sighed, leaning back. Maybe this had been a little bit too obvious? After it was sure, that none of the boys wanted to bet with her, she looked around. Maybe she should go to the casino-room and play a bit for money. She had never been a gambling person, at least not at something that was truly luck based. But some games could be either won by strategy or by distracting the other players. Most people playing here were elder men. It was easy for her to distract those! “I am going to earn a bit of money. Anyone of you wants to join? Or will you stay here?” She asked, before something caught her interest. Nami raised one eyebrow. Luffy stood in the middle of the way leading towards the dining area. He had a huge, overfilled plate in his one hand, while he stuffed his face with the other. So far, nothing unusual.  
Luffy was watching someone. When Nami followed Luffy’s gaze, she noticed a dark-haired man. Was that the doctor? Apparently. His clothes seemed rather pricey, fitting for a well-earning doctor. Tight fitting black jeans and a blue-ish Hoodie with some fur or feathers around the upper part. It looked, like there was a yellow sign or symbol on the Hoodie? She could not make out any details because of the distance towards him. The most interesting part about the doctor had nothing to do with his looks. It was Luffy’s interest in him. By now she had learned, that if Luffy was interested in someone, that person had something special to them.
“You know what guys? I rather stay with you then play with some old geezers some card games.”
She was curious about the doctor and Luffy’s interest towards him.

Luffy's Wish
On some island, somewhere in the New World, at some point in time...
"Hey, Zoro, how'd you make that thing glow!?"
Zoro held the orb at arms length, tilting it skeptically as it warmed his hand. Luffy was bouncing on the balls of his feet, trying to get a better look at the mysterious glass ball.
"I didn't, I just picked it up," Zoro frowned, tossing the ball to Luffy.
Luffy caught it easily, but was disappointed to see that the orb lost its warm red glow the moment it left Zoro's hand.
He tried holding it out the way Zoro had done, but to his disappointment nothing changed.
"Oi! What the hell are you doing!?" Zoro yelped in surprise, gaining the attention of their fellow patrons and the shop owner.
Luffy, to Zoro's dismay, was testing out the orb by pressing it against every part of exposed skin on Zoro's body. The swordsman had quite enough of this game by the time Luffy rested it flat on the tip of his nose and erupted into a fit of giggles.
"Shishishi! Zoro, you look just like Buggy!"
"Like hell I do!" Zoro growled, snatching the orb back from Luffy's clutches.
"If you break that thing and we get chased off this island Nami's going to increase my debt tenfold, so put it back where you found it and let's head back."
Luffy was ready to protest heading back to the ship so soon when someone suddenly came between himself and Zoro.
A middle aged woman was gaping at the glowing orb in Zoro's hand. She snatched it from him, and then quickly handed it back, gasping when its glow instantly returned.
"I never thought I'd see this happen twice in my lifetime!" the woman exclaimed, grabbing onto Zoro's wrist excitedly.
"You must buy this orb! It's glowing for you, it will grant you any wish you ask for!"
"A wish!?" Luffy exclaimed, but Zoro was already glaring at the shop owner and pushing the orb back into her hands.
"Listen lady, this guy may not look too bright" Zoro started, giving Luffy's head a gentle bop, "but I wasn't born yesterday. I know what you're up to."
The shop owner shook her head vigorously, "You don't understand, it's very rare for the orb to react. For whatever reason, it's chosen you! You must take it!" She pushed it back into his hands.
"So I buy the orb and make a stupid wish. Nothing happens, so you tell me it might take a while. We leave with this worthless thing and you put out a new one for the next sucker who walks through that door. That's how it works, right?"
The shopkeeper looked torn between being offended and excited. She looked between the orb and Zoro and seemed to make up her mind.
"Take the orb as a gift! Then, when your wish comes true, all I ask is that you return the orb to me."
"And some of whatever I wish for, right?"
" I wouldn't refuse a donation, of course!"
Zoro was about to shove the orb back into the woman's hands and walk out when he felt a tug on his sleeve. Luffy was looking up at him with that look.
Zoro sighed.
Zoro held the orb out for Chopper and Robin to see. The four were back from their respective trips into town and stood on Sunny's deck.
"A wish!? That's so cool, Zoro! What are you going to wish for?"
"Perhaps you should wish for your sight back?" Robin suggested, "If you lose your other eye, you'll be completely blind."
"Ahh! Robin's right! That's a good wish." Chopper agreed.
"Although, in many tales involving wishing on an object, the wisher's words are twisted. You may end up with three eyes. Or, perhaps you will turn into one giant eyeball."
Zoro ignored Chopper's horrified cry and looked to Luffy.
"I won't lose another eye."
"Mm, I know. Zoro..."
Chopper, Robin, and Zoro stiffened at Luffy's sudden change in tone. He was standing, arms crossed, with the serious look he usually reserved for enemies.
"This isn't an order, so you're free to refuse, but-"
Zoro smirked, flapping a hand in a say no more manner.
"Yeah, yeah, I get it. But don't be disappointed when nothing happens."
"It's going to work."
"Only one way to find out."
Zoro looked down at the orb and thought his wish, just as the shopkeeper had instructed. The orb glowed brighter, then died out completely.
An hour later...
"You actually made it back before us? Wait, where's Luffy?" Nami asked, looking around the ship. She was part impressed, part suspicious, because nothing ever went this smoothly for her when it came to those two, and she refused to believe this time was any different.
"Watching the sky," Zoro yawned, nodding his head to Sunny's figurehead. Sure enough, there was their captain, sitting more attentively than Nami would have ever believed possible.
Curiosity got the better of her, and against her better judgement, Nami approached the figurehead.
"Luffy? What are you looking for?"
"Oh, Nami, you're back! Hey, what's the weather going to be like today? Anything weird?"
Nami looked at the sky in confusion. The day was clear and she didn't sense any changes that might indicate an approaching storm.
"Weird? What makes you-"
Nami was interrupted by the sound of something wet and heavy smacking down on the deck.
Soon, the sound surrounded her, and it wasn't long before one of those wet, heavy things made contact with her arm.
She shrieked, running for cover as more of the disgusting objects poured down from the sky.
Safely under cover, Nami looked on in disbelief as her captain ran around the deck in absolute delight, gobbling up as much...meat? Was that...was that MEAT falling from the sky!?
"That was very kind of you, Zoro."
Nami jumped at Robin's voice. She was surprised to see most of the crew standing beside her. In her panic, she'd never even realized that it was a giant hand she had taken shelter under.
"It's not like I thought it'd really work." Zoro admitted, rubbing the back of his head.
"Oooooi, you guys! There's plenty, come on! Ooooiii!" Luffy hopped up and down, waving a piece of meat in each hand. He expertly caught a steak in his mouth and swallowed it whole.
"Where...where is it coming from? What the hell is going on!?" Nami demanded, looking at Zoro.
"It's raining," he shrugged, bending down to grab an empty pack from the previous shopping trip.
"Raining? Hey! Where do you think you're going?" Nami cried, close to pulling her hair out in sheer frustration.
"I owe a lady some meat." He explained, as though that made the situation any clearer. He held out the bag and caught a mix of what looked like sirloins, mutton, and poultry.
By now, the meat was ankle deep.
"Oh! Zoro-san, I will accompany you! As much as I enjoy watching Luffy-san have his dream come true, I don't think I can stomach any of it myself! Oh! Even though I don't have a stomach!"
Brook's laughter followed the duo off the deck and into the town.
"Hey! Zoro! Brook! Get back here!"
Nami looked on helplessly, feeling less and less in control of...well, anything, by the minute.
"Don't you think we should stop Luffy-bro? If he keeps it up, he not going to fit through the doors." Franky asked, looking on in concern for the damage hailing pork loins could do to his ship.
"We probably should. After all, I may be mistaken, but I don't believe our swordsman was specific enough with his wish."
"Huh?" Usopp asked, shaking himself out of the shock of seeing what could very well be one of his tales come to pass, "what do you mean, Robin?"
"Look closely, I believe that meat is-"
Before she could finish her thought, Sanji (who had been forgotten in the kitchen in the midst of the fiasco) dashed past the group of them and into the rain of falling meat.
"LUFFY, YOU IDIOT! PUT THAT MUTTON DOWN BEFORE I KICK YOUR ASS!"
Luffy noticed Sanji on his way to ruin his dream meal and was already on the move, eating and running at the same time.
"IT'S RAW, YOU IDIOT! LET ME COOK IT FIRST!"
"Nnnn weeeeeah! 'Ss fynn!"
"LIKE HELL IT'S FINE!"
"Raw! Ah! Luffy, stop! You're gonna get worms!"Chopper exclaimed, racing after them.
"Wa...wait! Chopper, wait! There's venison! You're stepping in venison!" Usopp screamed, rushing out after him.
Nami, Robin, and Franky watched as their captain, cook, doctor, and sniper romped through the food filled deck.
"Franky?" Nami asked.
"Huh? Yeah Nami-sis?"
"How big is the new freezer?"
Meanwhile...
"Zoro-San? I may be mistaken, however, I'm pretty certain we've come this way a few times already. Are you sure you remember where the shop is?"
"Like I said, it's not far from here. It's just up ahead."
"Zoro-San?"
"What!?"
"Your meat bag is leaking."

Dark dance. Chapter 1.
It was a nice chilly day at the sunny when suddenly an envelope dropped from the sky with the name Strawhat pirates on it.
Nami got over to the envelope and looked at Luffy. Luffy nodded at the envelope and signed to Nami that she could read it. Nami opened the envelope and started reading out loud.
"Dear strawhat pirates, you have been invited to the Dark dance by Mr. Mistery. If you choose to come, it's save from the marines. It's on the pirate island the tenth october".
Everyone was quiet, until Luffy shouted "shishishi we are so going there!" All, except Luffy facepalmed, but accepted that their captain wanted to go. At least it was free but they still didn't believe that there were no marines.
But Luffy made the order and they sailed forward the pirate island. The party was in two days so they needed to start looking for some nice clothes to the men, because the girls already had their dresses picked out.
when they finally got close enough to the island they docked the Sunny, and went into the town. the Strawhats walked for an hour without any luck at all, until Chopper pointed out a nice, clean looking shop where they could buy clothes.
Sanji was the first in the changing room and he came out with a dark blue tuxedo with a white shirt underneath it, he also had a tie on with the same color as the tuxedo and he wore black shoes.
Usopp wore a tuxedo that was red and black striped, he had a bright white shirt underneath it, and a complete black tie. he also had black shoes on like Sanji.
Brook wore the same clothes he always wore because he just didn't want to switch clothes at the moment.
Chopper had a black suit on with a pink under shirt and tie, with his trademark pink and blue hat. with black shoes.
Zoro only wore pitch black clothes which was odd becausee he usually wore green.
Franky wore his normal speedo and had the top half of a black tuxedo. He had no shoes on of course.
Finally it was Luffy's turn to find some clothes, but Nami stopped him and told him to stay where he was and wait for her to come back with something.
It surprisingly only took about five for Nami to come back with something he couldn't quite see. Luffy went into the dressing room and the only thing that was heard was silence, but after two seconds that was heard "ehhhh!!! Are you freaking kidding me Nami!?". then after that you could hear Nami snickering."try it on at least!". Nami said cheerfully.
After about three minutes Luffy came out with a knee short dress which started at the top all black that got whiter and whiter as it went down, on the front and on the back of the top, were tiny sequins looking like diamonds, that blended into the fabric perfectly. Luffy also had small black shoes on.
Robin and Chopper just stared at the pretty Luffy standing before them, Nami was laughing her ass off while taking pictures, Brook asked if he could se his panties and Zoro, Sanji, Usopp and Franky got the biggest nosebleed ever seen.
Luffy looked in the mirror and saw his nice curves go along the dress perfectly making his ass look great. He actually looked quite hot in a dress for a guy. Suddenly Luffy blushed at being in a dress in front of his crew looking like a woman, and started to hide in the changing room.
Before Sanji could stop himself he shot up and shouted "damn he looks cute in those clothes, great job Nami-swan!". He quickly realised what he said and got a loud laugh from Zoro "I knew you were somehow gay, Stinky-cook". Said Zoro, laughing way to hard. "I saw you got nosebleed too! so don't be so holy yourself Marimo-head". shouted sanji at Zoro. Then they started fighting fast. Nami went over to luffy and said. "Luffy you looked smoking in that, I personally think you should wear it at the Dark dance". Luffy thought for a second and choose to say. "why not, I even think it looks good on me". And then they went over to the checkout to buy the clothes.
somewhere in The New World the ex-assassins that had been in cipher pol 9. saw an envelope drop from the sky. which Kaku picked op and started reading outloud. After that everyone looked at Lucci who just nodded and said. "lets go to the Dark dance then".

(Definitely Not) A Double Date
Fandom: One Piece
Rating: General Audiences
Pairing: Law/Lu
Prompt From @fitgirlfaith24: Luffy drags Law on an outing to a Cider Mill was the original prompt, but I talked to her and she was okay with changing it to a surprise! Double Date with Zoro, Sanji, Luffy and Law at a cider mill, bless her heart.
Author: Fangirl Wonder (WordsandWonder on AO3)
As the car pulled to a jerky stop in the unpaved cider mill parking lot, Law couldn’t help but wonder what the record was for amount of times regretting a decision in a half hour period. Because throughout that car-ride, he had regretted his decision to accompany Sanji on what was “totally not a double date!” about five thousand times. He’d known, he’d known, damnit, that this was a double date. He knew when Sanji first asked him to come and tried to stealthily add that the guy he liked was bringing a friend, hoping Law wouldn’t catch it before he agreed. He knew when after he adamantly refused, Sanji pulled out the puppy dog eyes and bribed him with promises of home cooked meals twice a week for a month. He knew when the whole group showed up at his apartment that morning and Zoro’s mysterious friend turned out to be none other than Luffy.
Luffy, who was constantly blowing up Law’s phone with excited text messages Law could barely read between the grammar mistakes and exclamation points. Luffy, who sometimes showed up at Law’s work with food for them both and wouldn’t leave until Law caved and ate. Luffy, who dragged Law to the movies every other week because “otherwise Torao would never have any fun.” Luffy, who Law may or may not have drunkenly made out with last weekend. A lot. Luffy, who insisted it was okay (when Law apologized for his behavior), because they were boyfriends, so it was bound to happen eventually. Which had been news to Law, but of course Luffy had been unfazed by his insistence that they were, under no uncertain terms, not in a relationship.
So yeah, really, he had no one to blame for his situation but himself, because he had fucking known. But that didn’t stop him from shooting his blonde friend a murderous glare as they exited the car.
“I’m sorry, I’m sorry, I’m sorry,” Sanji muttered as he watched Law slam the door.
“For which part, exactly? The “Oh no, Law, it’s not a double date, come on, I wouldn’t do that to you” bullshit? Or for having me sit in back with him so you could hold hands with Zoro in the front seat?” the raven-haired man snapped.
“Well, it’s not like you hate him, though!” the chef defended in a hushed whisper. “You’re kinda dating, aren’t you? You hang out with him all the time!”
“We are not kinda dating!” Except they kinda were, if you squinted. Or, you know, just looked at the situation normally, because fucking goddamnit, they were, weren’t they? When the fuck did that happen? But that did not mean Law was ready to admit it. “And even if we were, you still conned me into going on a double date and you know I hate double dates.”
“Yeah, but I’m going to make you all your favorite food twice … three times a week! For the next month!” Sanji reminded. “I really am sorry, though. I know you don’t like this kinda thing, but I just … I really like him and I wanted my best friend here for emotional support the first time I went out with him, is that so bad?”
Well, damnit, how was Law supposed to be mad at him after that? “Yeah, yeah, whatever. Three times a week. And no-”
“No bread, I know. Jeeze, Trafalgar, how long have I been feeding you? I know your thing about bread.”
Law smirked at the blonde and tilted his head, indicating where Zoro and Luffy were whispering together a short distance away. “I guess we better join them, huh? What do you think they’re whispering about over there?”
“Probably something similar to what we were,” Sanji shrugged. “Zoro had to beg Luffy to come today too. He kept saying he didn’t want to join because you’d be mad.”
Law definitely did not blush at that. “That’s a good sign, then, right? That Zoro wanted to hang out with you enough that he was willing to beg Luffy?”
Sanji tried to hide a smile behind his hand under the guise of rubbing his nose. “I guess. Hey guys, wait up!”
Zoro and Luffy turned around and waited for the other men to catch up, Luffy with a brilliant smile and cheerful wave, and Zoro with a slightly happier-looking scowl than usual. As soon as Sanji and Law caught up, Zoro nudged the blonde with his shoulder playfully.
“You girls have a nice chat?” he teased.
“Shut up, Marimo. Let’s go look at some pumpkins or something.”
Luffy appeared suddenly at Law’s side and laced his fingers with the surgeon’s tattooed ones. “I want doughnuts! Do you eat doughnuts, Torao? Or are they too much like bread?”
“Huh?” Law glanced up when he realized Luffy was waiting for a response. He’d been too distracted by the sudden warmth of having his hand held. “Uh, too much like bread. I like cider, though.”
Luffy beamed. “Cool! Then let’s go get some cider! And I’ll get doughnuts, but you don’t have to. Or, you could get some and I could eat them for you. I’m willing to do that for you, cuz I’m just that good a boyfriend.”
"Damnit, Luffy, I've told you a hundred times, I'm not your boyfriend." Despite Law's obvious irritation, Luffy only snuggled closer to his side and grinned up at him. "Shishishi! Sure you are, Torao! Otherwise why would we be holding hands?" "Because you won't let go," the man spit back, bringing their linked fingers up to Luffy's face as proof. "Well," Luffy said slowly, "I will if you want me to. Do you really want me to?" "..." When Law didn't agree or pull his hand away Luffy's energetic grin returned full force, so bright and sudden the doctor almost felt blinded by it. "Oh, whatever, just ... C'mon. We're falling behind." Catching up apparently wasn’t on Luffy’s to-do list, as he began practically dragging Law to each thing they passed, becoming more and more excited at each new cider mill activity. Law tolerated this with a decent amount of patience, and even found himself smiling a little at the younger man’s enthusiasm. He did balk, however, when Luffy found one of those wooden cut-out things that usually made an appearance at carnivals and such.
“Don’t even think about it, I am not sticking my head in th-”
“Hey! Could you take a picture of me and my boyfriend in this thing?” the boy interrupted to ask a passerby, pointing hopefully at the wooden painting of a farmer and his wife with holes where their faces should be. To Law’s horror, the woman agreed and accepted Luffy’s phone without complaint. “Hurry up, Torao, they’re waiting!”
“Ugh, fine! But I’m not being the wife, Luffy, you move over right now,” the taller man grumbled, taking his place behind the cut-out and sticking his face in the hole.
“Very nice,” the stranger complimented as she handed the phone back after taking a few pictures. “You two are cute together!”
“We’re not - oh whatever. Where the hell are Zoro and Sanji?”
“Don’t worry, Torao, we found you two just in time to see that. So precious,” Zoro commented from behind them.
Law smirked at the green-haired man. “Yeah, it’s a lot of fun. I’ll take the picture if you and Sanji want to do it too.”
The wicked grin fell off Zoro’s face comically fast. “No wa-”
“Oh come on, Marimo, it’s fun! Please?” Sanji pleaded.
The doctor honestly expected Zoro to refuse, but instead got to watch as the man looked between the absurd novelty board and the chef. He was obviously having an internal battle with his want to please Sanji and his want to not look like an idiot, and Law thought that was just adorable.
“Fine,” he finally consented. “But if you post this on the facebook I’m gonna be pissed.”
“Aw, don’t be a spoilsport!” Sanji booed. “Besides, how would you even know? You don’t have a facebook.”
“I’ll get one just to make sure.”
Watching them bicker back and forth as they took their places, Law really couldn’t see why Sanji was so worried. It was blatantly apparent that Zoro was totally into him. If the way he looked at the cook wasn’t enough to prove that, the fact that he was actually trying not to look completely miserable as he stuck his head though the face hole of the farmer’s wife certainly did. And while that made Law really happy for his friend, it absolutely did not mean he wouldn’t still mess with the bulkier man.
“Say cheese!” he called in an overly cheerful voice meant to irk Zoro.
“Cheese!” the blonde replied.
“Fuck you,” the other grumbled.
Law snapped the picture and gave Sanji his phone back. “Did you guys already get your cider and stuff?” he asked. “Luffy got distracted.”
“Nah, we got distracted too,” Sanji admitted.
“Yeah, distracted by making out against that big ‘ole tree, there,” Luffy interjected.
Arching an eyebrow, Law enjoyed watching both men light up a brilliant shade of red. “Oh really? Well then, should we stick together or split up so you two can get back to your debauchery?”
“Split up,” Zoro responded confidently, even as his partner firmly asserted that they should stay together.
“Shishishi, you guys are funny. I think we should split up and then Torao and I can do some bauchery too.”
It took a great deal of willpower for Law not to facepalm at that. “Luffy, there’s no such thing as bau-”
“No point, man,” Zoro interrupted, pointing to where Luffy and Sanji were inspecting an apple tree together. “He’s not even listening anymore.”
Law shook his head as he watched Luffy animatedly tell Sanji about something. “How do you do it?” he asked.
“Do what?” Zoro questioned. “Deal with Luffy?” Law nodded. “Dude, I don’t know why you’re asking me that. You handle him better than anyone I’ve ever seen. Even Shanks can’t get him to focus as much as you can. Which reminds me.” Zoro suddenly turned to face the doctor with a very serious look on his face. “What’s this shit about you telling him you’re not his boyfriend?”
“I … what do you mean? It’s not shit, it’s true. I’m not his boyfriend.”
“Bullshit.”
“I’m not! Jesus, why do I have to keep repeating this?”
Zoro glared at him like he was the dumbest creature on the planet. “Because it’s bullshit. I see the way you look at him. You’re doing it right now! No one looks at someone like that if they don’t at least have some feelings for them. And let’s face it, Trafalgar. You’re not the kind of guy to waste a bunch of time with someone you aren’t interested in, but you spend a ton of time with Luffy. Plus, Sanji always talks about how you’re not much of a texter, but Luffy is constantly grinning like an idiot at his phone, and he only does that when it’s you he’s talking to. Oh, and you eat his shitty food when he visits you at work and I know how gross his cooking is.”
“He brings take-out sometimes,” Law argued lamely.
“And that’s something right there. He drives from the restaurant to your hospital with delicious, tempting take-out and he doesn’t eat it.”
Law did have to admit, he’d been impressed when Luffy started doing that. He knew how much the man liked to eat.
“Yeah, but … you can’t be in a relationship just because someone decides that you are. Without consulting you, by the way.”
Zoro rolled his eyes. “Sure you can. See, you can hem and haw all you want about the details of it, but Luffy is just gonna call it as he sees it. He and I have that in common. So when you’re doing all the things that boyfriends do, Luffy’s gonna call you his boyfriend, and so will anyone else that ever watches you two together. You might as well stop trying to deny what literally everyone can plainly see.”
Watching Luffy climb the tree, with Sanji yelling at him to get down, Law heaved a sigh. Goddamnit. Goddamnit all to hell, because seeing a grown man act that way should annoy the hell out of him, but as he watched Luffy do it he was unconsciously smiling. He found it fucking endearing. Ever since they met, Luffy had been blasting through each and every one of the walls Law had so carefully built around himself, and now, seeing the other so happy and carefree … he wanted to be his boyfriend. He didn’t exactly know how, but he knew he had fallen for Luffy a long time ago, and that somehow that exuberant man, who on the surface appeared to be Law’s opposite in every way, made him happy. So maybe Zoro was right. Maybe it was time to stop denying it and for once just … let himself be happy.
“You do realize you’re staring at him like a lovesick moron?” Zoro inquired dryly. “But hey, you’re probably right. That’s not your boyfriend. I’m sure you look at all your friends like that.” The man paused for a moment before adding, “Just don’t … you better not look at the cook like that.”
Defenseless against the first part of Zoro’s statement, Law chose to focus on the end of it and rolled his eyes. “Don’t worry, Marimo. He’s all yours.”
“Hey assholes! Neither of you could have helped me get the monkey out of that tree?” Sanji huffed as he stomped up to them, dragging Luffy along behind him.
“Aw, Sanji’s no fun. If they didn’t want people to climb the trees they shoulda put up a sign,” Luffy protested.
Law glanced at the sign posted a few feet away that politely asked patrons not to climb the trees, but said nothing.
“Can we get some damn cider now? I’m thirsty,” Sanji griped.
“Sure thing,” Zoro agreed, wrapping an arm around Sanji’s shoulders and steering him in the wrong direction to get to the cider barn.
“Uh, Zoro, the press is the other way,” Law pointed out.
The green-haired man smirked over his shoulder. “Yeah, but the orchard is this way.”
Luffy pressed against Law’s side and stood on his tiptoes to whisper, “They’re gonna go make out some more.”
“Oh.” Well okay then. So much for sticking together. But then again, since he was admitting Luffy and he were dating now, and they were all alone … “Hey Luffy?”
“Yeah?”
“You wanna go to the orchard?”
Luffy grinned. “Yeah! But a different part from where Zoro and Sanji are, because that’s weird even if this is a double date, you know?”
Law couldn’t help returning Luffy’s bright smile. “Definitely.”
“Cool! Let’s go make out!” Luffy cried, pulling Law insistently toward the line of trees in the distance.
Shaking his head and chuckling once again at something he should have found tasteless and annoying, Law allowed himself to be towed along. He had to admit, it felt kinda good to not deny what was going on with them. It felt right. He could definitely get used to this feeling.
“Oooh, look Torao! Let’s ride the train!”
“What? No! That’s for kids! Damnit, Luffy, I said stop! I am not getting on that thing!”
… It was a pretty fun train ride.

if possible could i have ace law and sabo reactions to sharing an indirect kiss with their crush like the crush lets them try from their food or drink for example or vice versa and they just realize it once one of them is hit ny reality aka teasing of the wb crew maybe? XD
Oh booiiii of course you can! They got a bit long, hehe sorry
Ace
You’ve always been the favorite of the Shirohige’s cook, so he always gives you the best looking lunches and Ace can’t stop looking at it
His mouth is literally watering at how nice and tasty it looks, so he just asks something like “h-hey, [Name], can I have some of it too?”
You just look at him and smile because fuck Ace is too cute so you say yes of course
He makes a victorious sound and all and is ready to take some with his own chopsticks, but oh dear you’re faster and soon enough you have your own chopsticks with a little piece of food at the very end
Ace beams, he opens his mouth and then closes his lips around the chopsticks tips
You giggle and continue eating
He barely has time to process everything, seeing you closing your lips around those things just as he did a few seconds ago, before he has Marco with an arm around his shoulders
“Woah, Ace!”, he teases, close to Ace’s ear so you can’t hear. “I know you have like a huge crush on [Name], but go easy there, man!”
Ace’s face is bright red by now, but he’s like “what do you mean?!!!”
“Sharing indirect kisses with the sweet [Name]? In front of everyone? Tsk tsk tsk, that’s not very gentlemanly~”,
Ace literally combust in the spot, excusing himself about wanting to go to the bathroom
The dork looks at his lips for ages and thinks about what happened a few moments ago
Law
Cute baby Law thinks he’s very discreet about his massive crush on you, but all of his nakamas know and all of the strawhats noticed by now, except you. Jeez he’s very obvious
Anyway, you both are at the Thousand Sunny going to Dressrosa, okay? And as always, Law is being a grumpy man as he leans against the mast, you making him company of course, while watching the interactions of the strawhats
“[Name]-swaaaaaan~!”, Sanji suddenly comes making one of his tornadoes and even blowing away little chopper, you giggle and Law opens one of his closed eyes to look at the over excited Cook. “It’s lunch time, [Name]-swan~”, Sanji gives you a lunch box and another one to Law.
Stupid Law is slightly jealous and Sanji knows it, anyway you both are silently eating your lunch and you suddenly are like “oh wow, Law Law! Try this, is delicious!!”, he looks at the food you’re offering him and then up to you “C'mon! It’s bread free!”, he sulks but opens his mouth and you smile, giving him the food out from your chopsticks.
He just hums in agreement and you giggle, resuming your lunch. Suddenly Sanji, Nami, Zoro and even Luffy are latching onto Law, making you both surprised
“Wh-What’s going-”
“Shishishi, Torao! We saw what you did there~”, seriously, even Luffy noticed
“Torao-kun your crush is going out of control!”, Nami said and Law is turning slightly red, looking at you to see if you were listening, but you’re busy talking with Robin now. “Oi, Law. Giving indirect kisses is for children you know?”, Zoro mumbles, a smirk on his face and that’s when Law suddenly noticed what happened
“That’s not- Get o”
“Oi, [Name]!”, Luffy is suddenly right infront of you, his mouth watering. “Can I have some of it~?”, you giggle and stick your chopsticks with the food towards his mouth
“Sure thi-”
“ROOM!”
Luffy’s yell is heard from the kitchen and with a gasp Sanji goes running towards it.
Poor Law can’t take a little teasing
Sabo
You're watching Sabo training with Hack outside of the base
Sabo was winning of course, until Dragon-san kicked him away with a smooth and quick movement of his leg
You can't help but giggle when the rest of the people there laughed at him, even Koala joined the fun
Sabo sighed and say beside you, because there wasn't room anywhere else, of course. OF COURSE
So he sits beside you and he's panting and sticking his tongue out as he cleans up a bit of sweat from his forehead with his sleeve
He has a cute smile, though, that makes you blush a little. However you are worried about how exhausted he looks.
"Hey, Sabo-kun", he looks at you with a brighter smile. "Do you need some water?", you lend him your water bottle and he beams
"Oh, [Name]! Yes, please! Thanks!", he gulps the whole thing but you don't mind. You do pout a little bit when Hack calls you to practice "Good luck, [Name]!", you smile and go away
"Sa-bo-kun~", Sabo flinches at the teasing tone on Koala's voice. "What are you doing giving [Name] indirect kisses?", she ask, punching him in the arm. "Isn't it better if you confess already?"
"What are you talking ab-", his face goes bright red as he looks down into the empty bottle and up to your running form. "Oh... God...", Koala is laughing at him without mercy, making you look at them
He looks panicky and he tries to shush Koala, but when he locks eyes with you he sees a smirk growing in your lips
Oh shit, you planned this indirect kiss
Dragon-San, please kick the conscious out of Sabo? Please?

crown the king (with bloody flowers) - chapter 32
Hanahaki au drabble series, in which Luffy is in love with the sea.
 Ao3
chapter 32 - bluebells - jimbe 
Luffy’s crew wanted to skip Fishman Island, Jimbe knows. They wanted to use a coup de burst and shoot over the Red Line, wanted to make modification after modification to their beloved ship for Luffy’s sake. Franky had been working on it - with Rayleigh’s help, Nami’s new weather techniques, and the bubbles of Sabaody - they might have been able to do it. Anything to keep Luffy from going into the water and being submerged in his killer.
Yet - Luffy had said No.
And Jimbe knows it was for him.
It sparks a warmth in his chest, a quiet pain, a quiet love, a knowledge that this boy - still a boy, only sixteen and yet carrying an era on his back (or rather his head) - would do anything for him. It threatens to overtake Jimbe if he is not careful.
And, well - 
He’s sick of being careful. 
Soon, he tells Luffy, who seems to drown on land with every step, Soon, once my responsibilities are gone, will I join you. 
Soon, he tells Luffy, and it’s like a knife to the chest.
Luffy had come down to the bottom of the sea, and happily smiled as the sea pressed around him, her presence hateful and dark and burning in a way no ocean should be. He laughs as he watches Sea Kings swim by, laughs as he sticks his hands out of bubbles and lets the harmful water dribble over his skin, laughs as he coughs and coughs and coughs.
(There are rarely flowers at the sea floor.
Luffy is a man of miracles, the children say, picking up the petals left behind and decorating their new straw hats.)
It’s killing Luffy to be down here with Jimbe. It’s killing Luffy, who shouldn’t have survived those two years more, not with what Iva did, and not with what Trafalgar Law said.
(The children say he is a man of miracles, and the adults brush it off as another way to say hero, but Jimbe watched this boy at fourteen fight through hell and win. 
Luffy is a man of miracles.
This, to Jimbe, is fact.)
Luffy leans on Jimbe’s side at the party, small at sixteen and out of breath already, but he’s strong. He’s sixteen now, two years wiser, and he’s been back for perhaps two days and already he has taken out Pacifistas and enemies that have threatened their kingdom for years. They call his generation Supernovas. Jimbe knows he’ll be much more.
“Jimbe!” Luffy cries, tipping over into Jimbe’s lap to stare up at his face. He’s tiny next to Jimbe, barely reaching his waist when they stand. Yet - his firsts can destroy gods. “This parties fun!”
“It is courteous of King Neptune to throw it!”
“Shishishi! I guess! But, Jimbe!” Luffy looks at him more seriously now, hunk of sea king flesh put away for a minute. “You gotta -“
He starts coughing, air hardly going into his longs as flowers spill out across his lips. Jimbe startles, panicked for a moment, then realizes all Straw Hat eyes are on him, wary for their captain. 
Jimbe doesn’t hesitate.
He sweeps Luffy up, making him sit up-right rather than laying down, and rubs steady circles into his back. The party goes on around them, the hero shielded between Jimbe’s robe covered arms. Slowly, Luffy stops coughing.
Bluebell’s and chrysanthemums fall between them.  Jimbe moves to sweep them away, but Luffy snaps out a hand and gathers them into his arms. 
His fingers begin weaving - in and out and in and out. Jimbe watches in silence as a bloody, flowers shape begins to form in Luffy’s hands.
(As he does so, Luffy’s head leans to rest against Jimbe’s chest, right over the mark of the red sun.)
A crown. 
Luffy’s making a crown.
Jimbe’s mouth opens in shock as a rubbery hand stretches and places it ever so gently upon his head.
“There!” Luffy decrees, smiling.
It’s all Jimbe can do to choke out a “Thank you, Luffy.”
Luffy laughs again, and then turns serious once more. “Jimbe! You gotta promise me you’ll come up with us, so we can party there too! You gotta join my crew!”
Jimbe chuckles, bright and soft. “Of course, Luffy.”
“Soon,” The boy in his lap stresses, and under the shadow of his hat Jimbe can see desperation in his eyes.
He remembers the words of the surgeon, muttered to Rayleigh as he came up from the sea. 
He’s in rough shape. It’ll be lucky if he makes it another year.
For every other pirate chasing the crown, it was a race to see who could reach the end first. For Luffy, it was a race to see if he could live to see it.
And - 
(Nami speaks to him in a forest under the sea, of how Luffy took down Arlong. His speech there, how he needed Nami as his navigator, and Sanji as his cook. Usopp tells him a grand tale of a little lamb, and how Luffy takes his crew back to him, no matter the cost.)
-If he could do it with his crew.
Hey Jimbe! You gotta join my crew!
Jimbe will be a part of that - is a part of that in Luffy’s eyes. 
Everything strikes into sudden clarity. 
“Luffy,” He says, calm, measured. “Soon.”
He does not say before you die. He does not say while you are still alive. Luffy does not care about death. 
Only his crew.
(Jimbe will not leave him to die alone.)
Luffy keeps on looking at Jimbe, steady and serious, before breaking into joy. “Shishishi! Alright!”
A hand snakes up to adjust Jimbe’s crown, and suddenly Luffy is off with a Gum Gum Rocket, crashing into Zoro who seems unfazed.
Jimbe smiles then, serene and in awe. The words of Trafalgar Law sink into his head once more. 
If we don’t love, then why do we set sail?
He looks at the boy who he is learning to love more than anything else, and decides to abandon careful for adventure - just for the future King of the Pirates. 
-
Blue Bells: symbolize constancy, sorrow, regret, kindness, and humility. They can be used as an adhesive.
 Chrysanthemum : symbolizes truth, cheerfulness and wonderful friends. They can also symbolize grief, honesty, and love.
