wc - 0.6k | warnings - none | with eustass captain kid (no pronouns used, but female body implied!)
an unfamiliar smell causes kid’s nose to twitch, grunting at the burning sensation. “what the hell is that smell?” he grunts, standing up from his seat.
as if on cue you walk into the room, fluffing your hair out one final time. “has anyone seen my bag?” you ask, pretending to not notice the gawking expression of your captain.
killer clears his throat, unsure if it was to get your attention or kid’s, “why are you so dressed up?” he questions, throwing your bag at you.
the dress that hugged your body complimented every curve you had; the boys didn’t know much about fashion, but they did know that you looked so good. especially kid, who might as well have been standing in a pool of his own drool.
“a man from this village offered to take me out for a drink tonight,” you smiled, rummaging through your purse to make sure you had everything on you.
kid’s jaw snapped closed from its previous gaped position, his brows knitting tightly together. he didn’t know what to say as he watched you wave goodbye to the rest of them and head out on your way.
sure, you had been broken up for at least a month now, but he didn’t think you would move on this fast.
“i’m just asking you to act like a boyfriend sometimes kid, that’s all!” you scream, his eyes rolling with every word you speak. “it’s like you don’t even love me,” you quietly huff, crossing your arms over your chest.
kid’s jaw tightens, gritting his teeth together before he stands up and pushes past you, “well then let’s just break up since you could do so much better than me.” he grips onto the door frame, pausing before exiting.
he doesn’t know if he was waiting for you to object or maybe beg for him to not go, but only your stunned silence filled the room, and then he was gone.
kid is quiet the rest of the night, mugs of untouched sake remain on the table. he’d usually be so drunk he couldn’t even tell his own crewmates apart, unable to get out a coherent sentence, but he remained sober, waiting for you to return.
you stumble around, a single tear falling down your cheek as you light the cigarette between your lips. you see the victoria punk rocking calmly back and forth and almost feel a sense of relief until you remember that the man you loved didn’t want you anymore.
you attempt to reboard the ship as quietly as possible, but your clumsy footsteps practically give you away.
the kitchen light flicks on as you seek a glass of water, but you jump when the light reveals kid who’s sitting at the dining table. his head is in his hands; he knows it’s you.
“what’re you doing here?” you heave, heading towards the fridge and doing your best to keep your unbothered expression despite the copious amounts of alcohol in your system.
you wait for an answer and to be honest, he’s trying to come up with one himself. “well?” you demand, slamming your cup onto the table.
he doesn’t flinch or get upset, but you didn’t expect him to. you almost wanted him to, so he’d say something, anything.
“i…i was waiting for you.” he admits, surprising even himself. “i need you y/n,” he continues, his fists clenched together at the embarrassment of his confession.
you’re staring at his head of red hair, his face still was planted towards the table. but your eyes soften as the tenseness your body felt dissipates into thin air.
“well it took you long enough,” you sigh in relief, your hand running through his brightly colored hair. “why’d you let me go out on a date then, huh?” you joke as he shoots an annoyed glace your way.
Random Kid HC Inspired by This Picture and Lack of Sleep:
Author Note: This turned into more of a story than a HC. It's 5 in the morning and I'm tired. Lol!
Kid hyper fixates. Look! He doesn't even noticed the babies in his hair! Correct me if I'm wrong, but baby birds are pretty loud when they're hungry.
So imagine, if you will, Kid is in his workshop working on a new project. He wasn't at breakfast or lunch. He's got a plate of food and some water on his table, but it's gone untouched. He's way to focused to stop now.
You try to talk to him, try to get him to eat, try to drag him away, but he brushes you off with a distracted grunted. Honestly, you could have told him that you had found the One Piece and he'd be like, "Uh-huh, yeah babe."
You've never seen him hyper fixate before and you're concerned. Killer assures you that once the project is done, Kid will go back to being his normal self and probably eat half the food supply, but that doesn't put you at ease.
You eventually crawl into his lap and start feeding him. He's so distracted by his project that he just goes with it, letting you feed him like a child.
Relieved that he's at least eating and drinking, you leave to go work on some chores. Before bedtime, you go in to check on him and he's still working on his project. You gently tug his arm, trying to get his attention, trying to get him to come to bed, but he nudges you off without a second glance.
Killer shakes his head and assures you that Kid will happily sleep right there on his workbench when he's tired enough.
That's not good enough for you, but there's no way you're moving this massive man. So, you curl up on the overstuffed chair he brought into his workshop for you and doze off.
You wake up to find him passed out on his workbench, snoring loudly. Again, you're relieved he's getting some rest. You don't care that he passed out from exhaustion, at least he's sleeping.
The next day the cycle repeats. After feeding him lunch, you curl up in your chair with a book, occasionally glancing up to check on him.
You don't realize you've dozed off until you feel him shaking you. You look up to see him smirking proudly, dark circles under his golden eyes.
He excitedly drags you over to show you his finished project, talking animatedly about every little detail.
When he finishes, he's suddenly aware of how terrible he feels from lack of sleep and food. He asks you why he feels like crap and you just smile, take his hand, and lead him to bed where he immediately collapses on it in snoring, exhausted pile. You go off to make him his favorite dinner, knowing he's going to be ravenous when he wakes up.
Killer later tells him how you were worried and took care of him when he went into focus mode. Kid seeks you out and, scratching his neck, a dusting of red gracing his cheeks, mutters a gruff thanks.
Kid is a man of action though. So he feels simply saying thanks isn't enough. He's struck by inspiration when you're ranting about something that interests you though and immediately, in the middle of your rant, hurries off to his workshop to make you a present to express his gratitude, starting the hyper fixation process all over again.
Hello! I’d love to request headcanons on Kid and a first date between him and someone he has a major crush on please? Thank you!
Hey there! ❤️ That's actually super cute because Kid is a such a dork!! I hope this will suit you ~
Kid :
• It would take ages for Kid to actually accept to go on a date with you. Yeah, it works this way with him. He has abruptly asked you to go somewhere at a certain date, and a certain hour but it's you who wanted a date so desperately, and not him!
• For days, he thinks about it. He tries to tell himself that it's not a big deal at all, but everything is his behaviors tend to show that he's pretty concerned about your future meeting and everyone on his ship is silently anticipating his potential failure because he clearly doesn't want to have any advices
• If his mood is generally between permanent anger and impossible wrath, it goes even crazier the day he's about to see you. He spends many hours picking his clothes, putting on his makeup, until he bursts into the most intense existential crisis and decides that fuck off, he won't do any effort before rushing out of his ship
• So yes, Kid welcomes you with dark eyes and pinched lips, shrugging whenever you offer him to do something. He doesn't even say anything about your oufit or your hair, as if you are not so interesting, always avoiding to look at you directly. You're a bit confused... for a long moment, you really think that you misinterpreted his invitation
• His "whatever" and "I don't care" make you sigh deeply, and soon enough, Kid understands the intensity of the catastrophy, but he doesn't really try to make things better, simply following you with an angry face
• It's just that it's overwhelming, you see? You are so beautiful, you made so much efforts to have the best look, you seem sexy and wild and lovely at the same time and he's so lost... what is he supposed to do? He curses himself silently because he refused Killer's advices before seeing you and barks some awful words when you ask him if there's something wrong
• After some ugly hours for you of major disappointment and frustration, Kid finally understands that he needs to act because he's gonna ruin everything! So almost violently, he pulls on your sleeve to drag you in a some gun shops, but at least, you're doing something
• Things change when you start to have some compliments in the street about your beauty, your soft smile poisoning Kid's soul in its deepest part. He suddenly rolls a possessive arm around your hip and pulls you closer, snapping that you're not here to be a hoe. Well, it's clumsy and rude, sure, but it feels... warming? It's really a date, after all!
• Kid definitely doesn't let you go anymore. As soon as he crossed that line of having a physical contact with you, he always keeps a hold on your hip or your waist, sometimes even pinching your skin as you start to talk, and laugh, and argue violently but this is how you both work and things turn finally right and you're happy
• It finally feels at home for Kid, and soon enough, he traps you somewhere against a wall, his carnal smile telling you that for him... you're reaching the perfect moment to get further in your date. You dare him to do so with a smirk, and eventually, he seals your burning common crush for each other into a passionate and intense first kiss
• "If you ever smile to someone else again, I'm ripping your head off!" Kid growls when you get back on his ship, his fingers always glued to your skin, calling for something else when you'd be ready. Yes, definitely... He really crushes hard for you
anon: Hello! :D can you do HC of X drake and Eustass kid with short special one? Thanks ❤️
Of course my dear, enjoy ya answer!♥
XDrake
He’s really protective, so you being smaller than him will strengthen it. As good as he can, he will try to be around you and help you out whenever you need him. Since his ship isn’t really build for small people, you will need him and he will make sure he’s there when you do.
When both of you are alone in your shared room, he will let you wear his clothes. Seeing you drown in his big shirts is too sweet, he simply adores it. Sometimes when he sorts out his closet he’s surprised how small you actually are. He will take one of your pieces and compare it to his. Just holding one of your tops in his big hands, makes the size difference clear.
Due to your size, he does not hear you from time to time. You being smaller and lighter, your footsteps are rather quiet. Not the first time he flinched a little when you suddenly surprised him with a hug from behind. It always makes him chuckle a little. You with your small adorable form can scare him just like that.
One of his favorites his holding hands. He really likes feeling your petite hand in his big rough one. It does make him feel strong and gives him the urge to protect you from anything, even though he knows you can care for yourself.
He never treats you any different due to your size though, nor gives any comments about it. He might call you adorable from time to time, but he knows you’re a grown person and he will treat you with the same respect all the other grew members get. Even if he gets the urge to protect you from the slightest creature, he won’t helicopter you.
Eustass Kid
Due to his personality, he will tease you a lot about your size. However, it’s never in a negative way. He does love you and wouldn’t wanna hurt you. Still, you will get teased. Especially when you need to reach something at the top shelf, he might let you jump a little to get it.
Same with giving kisses. He really enjoys being the taller one, seeing you go on your tip toes or even jump a little is adorable to him. He won’t say it out loud but he really enjoys having your hands on him, doesn’t matter where. Seeing the size difference is simply a reminder for him, that you’re the precious one in the relationship and he needs to protect you.
He might treat you a bit differently due to your size, protect your more than anyone else. During combat especially, he will make sure to stand near you or infront of you. He will let you fight for sure, but Kid won’t let any enemy harm you. He made this clear for his whole crew. All of them will protect you no matter what, captains order.
Kid will give you his coat if you want it. Seeing you drown in the red feathers is not only adorable to watch, but a signal for others that you’re his, and only his. Sometimes when the situation may be a little bit too frightening for you, he wouldn’t even mind if you hide behind him or under his coat. He may complain a bit- its Kid after all- but he will let you.
He has a lot of nicknames considering your size. “Little brat” is his favorite outside, but Killer could have sworn he heard Kid saying “princess” a few times. The nicknames obviously differ when you’re in public and private. They get more affectionate and sweet the more privacy you two have.
I have this little headcanon that Kid is a really good artist. Not just for like designing weapons or machines via blueprints but like he can draw very realistically with accurate proportions and anatomy. I imagine he has a drawer of sketchbooks somewhere that's locked up tight and only he (maybe Killer too) know about it. Drawing is also a past time for him, it's probably bloody battlefields he's drawing but it makes him close to happy
That’s actually a very nice and beautiful headcanon you have there for the angry tulip xD I can totally see that as one of his less violent ways to deal with frustration or anger issues- lmao imagine him getting super pissed and screaming at his crew before angrily stomping off, and all of them are expecting him to hit the ship’s gym to release his frustration on a sandsack or something while in reality Kid heads for his quarters to draw a pretty flowerfield to calm himself down lol
