#shanks: gonna ruin this 7 y/o whole day bc i can

[akagamiko]

LUFFY ( @pirateslife ) :  "Shanks!" Little hands ball up into fists at his hips, chest puffing out in an attempt to make himself look more grown up, a feat that he thinks he's pulling off despite the pinched brow and upset look on his face. "When are you gonna take me with you!" // c'mon shanks take a lil guy on an adventure will ya....

Something about that brat’s presence felt louder than his voice could ever be. Shanks felt him with every little step he took towards Party’s Bar; determination rolling off of him in waves. Shanks settles into his seat. He knows what’s coming.

Leaning into his palm, Shanks lets out an indignant huff and begins absentmindedly pushing the food around on his plate with his fork. He doesn’t bother to look up when Luffy bursts through the swinging bar doors, though his crew around them fall silent. Chuckles scatter around the room here and there and, after a moment, conversations began picking up once more. This was a scene they had become all too familiar with.

Shanks only blinks, not bothering to take his eyes off the meal in front of him.

“You hear somethin’ ?” He asks warily, face scrunched as he looked over to Beckman at his side, who only shook his head in response to his Captain's childish antics. Shanks glanced around and waved his hand as though shooing off a fly. "You sure? It's-it's a buzzing sound, I think."

“Give the poor lad a break, Boss.” "Lad?"

He straightened up and Shanks placed the fork down, spinning around on his barstool. Pushing the brim of his hat up with his knuckles, the man grins down at the boy, barely containing the boyish fit of laughter that had begun to spill from his lips. The kid was a sight, certainly, chest puffed out, desperate to prove himself a man. He'd been in Luffy's place what felt like a lifetime ago.

“Oi, Luffy–that was you! Dahaha! Didn’t see ya there. What was that you were sayin' ?”
