Having you at Jamil's basketball games would mean so much to him.
He's never had much attention growing up, due to most of it being redirected to his "best friend" so it's nice to know he has someone's attention.
Despite the fact that you have an increasingly busy schedule, you still make time for him. Even pausing your tenure momentarily means a lot.
It's depressing, however, one person is better than no person. Knowing he has your full attention for the full match is more than enough to motivate him.
For once in his life, he's being chosen over everything else.
One Piece Men + Masochist! Reader | NSFW
So I got some huge inspiration from real life events for this one, and I thought it would make some interesting character works. I hope you guys enjoy it and I’ll probably make a partner post to this one with a Sadist! Reader if you guys are interested in that as well <3
Characters: Monkey D. Luffy, Roronoa Zoro, Vinsmoke Sanji, Portgas D. Ace, Sabo, Eustass Kid, Killer, Trafalgar D. Law
CW: AFAB! Reader, Cervix fucking, Cannon Typical Sanji smh, Choking, Spanking, Deep throating, Gagging, Double penetration, Whipping, Power dynamics, Virgin! Loser! Law, Degration
CW Nicknames: Referred to as a woman in Sanji’s, Babe in Ace’s, Lady in Kid’s
Monkey D. Luffy
I think you would definitely have to tell Luffy that you’re a masochist rather than him finding out. Even if there was an instance of stumbling upon your kink mid fuck, I doubt he would take the inititive to start hurting you. Luffy cares a lot about the people in his life, he wants nothing more than to please and receive pleasure, so I think causing you pain on purpose would be something you would have to verbally communicate with him.
When he does finally understand, he would probably be a bit skeptical, but he’s not going to pass up on any opportunity to make you feel better. Due to the diversity of his devil fruit there are plenty of ways of fulfilling your masochistic needs. Some of your favorite activities together range from him expanding his dick in you, forcing his fat tip to bully your cervix and cause your legs to shake. To coiling his arms around your neck and tugging so snuggly until your vision almost goes a little blurry.
Roronoa Zoro
I think you two stumble upon your masochism together naturally. Zoro is a very rough man already, so there was no doubt you were getting manhandled in bed before either of you were conscious about getting kinky. That is also to say he’s incredibly observant. He knows when your breath hitches, he notices how your pussy flutters on his thigh when you palm his thick cock, and he’s observed how leaky she gets whenever one of his calloused hands comes down on your ass.
He loves the sight of your cheeks bouncing off one another after he’s left his handprint on one of them. He loves it even more when he spreads you open and runs his fingers through your ruined cunt that is screaming for something to fill it. He has a smug grin on his face above you, one that says he has something over you now because he’s unlocked this little secret. But as long as the swordsman keeps you over his lap and bruises on your hip, you’re still winning.
Vinsmoke Sanji
Sanji can’t wrap his head around you asking him to hurt you on purpose. Don’t you know that’s his whole thing? He has a very long moral dilemma when trying to figure out what to do when you confront him about your interests. On one hand, he would do anything to please you, even if that meant cutting off both his legs and throwing himself off the Sunny. On the other hand, he told himself he would never hurt a woman in his life, what would Zeff think? In the end, it’s a secret third hand, the one that is currently unbuckling his belt that tells him, he doesn’t have to directly hit you.
Your lashes bat up at the blond, cheekily, almost as to tempt him into petting your head gently while you play with his sensitive balls. You take another inch of him down your throat, feeling the length make room in the compression of your windpipe. You’ve never taken his entire cock between your lips before, he’s always been far too worried that you would strain yourself. Deciding you want to go all the way, you boldly swallow another two inches until dark curls tickle your nose. A sore throat has never felt so good.
Portgas D. Ace
Sex with Ace is nothing if not spontaneous. Both of you are young and run around with high libidos so it doesn’t come with much a surprise that you’ve fucked in some less than compromising locations. One of the most common ones being, the Moby Dick. Unfortunately with hundreds of crewmates it’s hard to come across privacy and neither of you tend to stall your activities for their sake. On a particular evening where Ace has your nurse’s uniform hiked up and his fingers stuffed in your pussy, you both make a discovery.
“Shh I think I hear Marco coming” You scold Ace for being loud, even though you’re the one getting fingered (??) “Well he’s not the only one” you didn’t have time to comprehend your boyfriend’s retort before he was switching hands to better the position and stuffing his slick coated digits down your throat. His other hand went straight back to fucking your cunt, this time rubbing tight circles around your clit. You don’t know whether it was the extra stimulation to your clit, or the fingers that you were gagged around, but you came quicker than ever from his ministrations.
“Woah babe, didn’t know you liked getting stuffed in both ends!”
Sabo
My love, my life, Sabo. I think he is another pleaser, similar to Sanji, however without any moral baggage. He would make you a dungeon if you asked him. When you bring you your preferences, he’s immediately excited to try something new with you. I already imagine the two of you as an experimental couple kink wise, so both of you are really open. I think he would be the most invested in the experience out of all the guys here too. He’s purchased blindfolds, riding crops, gags, cuffs, anything he thought would make the night more special.
The riding crop definitely does something to the two of you. He’s already a strong guy, spanking has been on the table between the two of you, and yet there is something erotic about watching your body writhe as he abuses your skin underneath the leather. Perhaps it's the position of power it insinuates when he holds the toy, fully clothed, against your naked figure. Maybe it’s how cute your cunt looks when he commands you to lift and spread your legs, sliding the keeper through your puffy lips. I could go on. You two are freakay.
Eustass Kid
The Kid Pirates probably have the foulest mouths you’ve ever heard. So it’s fitting that their captain is the worst. Between the slew of curse words and his Scottish brogue, the common person probably has no idea what he’s even saying half the time. Fortunately, or unfortunately, for you, he would never call his lady something demeaning. In fact, you notice he even swears less around you and encourages others to do the same. Maybe in the beginning you thought it was endearing, but now it just pisses you off. When you finally confront him, you have some of probably the hottest mid argument sex ever.
“Ah thought ye wanted a gentleman!” Kid was stumped, what was wrong with him calling you sweet things? “No, it’s not that. I just feel like you’re too nice with me” you try to get your point across as smoothly as possible without offending him. “Ohh ah git it. Sae ye wouldn’t mynd me cawin ye a hoor? Or a slut? Or a fuck doll?” You’re practically stunned in your tracks. Before your mind can catch up with your clit, you're on your knees and in front of your captain in no time.
“If ye lik’ they names, ah git yin fur ye, ye kin scream a’ nicht.”
Killer
You’ve always adored the caring cook on the Kid Pirates, and yet recently there was something that you couldn’t tear your eyes away from. Over the two years the crew had spent training in the New World, he had grown incredibly built. It didn’t help that he only wore the tightest of shirts if he wore one at all during training. How were you supposed to tell your boyfriend you wanted him to fuck you raw like a fleshlight? You ended up sitting him down for the short conversation before dinner.
Killer was incredibly receptive to your request of being folded in half and speared on his fat cock. However, more than that, you wanted him to display the full extent of his muscles on you. You wanted his beefy arms wrapped around your neck until you were tapping his biceps for breath and his knees digging into your thighs until bruises bloom onto your skin. Killer especially likes the part where he gets to pound your sweet cunt and watch you tighten on his dick when he pinches your sensitive nipples.
“Doesn’t this hail masochism thing involve a blindfold? Cause ah think we skipped dinner ‘n’ ah gotta eat.”
Trafalgar D. Law
When you tell Law you’re a masochist, he definitely thinks he knows what's going on. He’s watched enough porn to understand you want him to spank you, pull your hair, maybe wear some sexy lingerie if he’s lucky enough. Before you can even list anything you’re actually into, he’s thinking about all the hot scenarios that are now open to the both of you. Your actual request for the evening has him wondering if maybe just maybe he’s not the weird one in the relationship.
Law is on his knees like usual, lapping at your pussy and holding your thighs open to make sure you don’t get sideburn-burn (ha). However the only difference is that in his right hand he holds your heart, surgically removed from your rib cage using his devil fruit. He remembers when his own heart was tortured by Vergo and honestly doesn’t understand how this could get someone to cum, but if ever wants you in that pink poison costume he thinks it’s better to shut up.
He only starts out with gentle squeezes at first, they match his hesitant kitten licks to the entrance of your cunt. You smell really good and you’re just so pretty, does he have to torture you? By the time his tongue is flicking your clit incessantly, he becomes bold with a harsh squeeze on your heart, and feels a warm gush on his face. Paired with the high pitch squeals you can’t seem to stop letting out, Law decides he is totally getting that cosplay.

i think tsukishima would eat your pussy slowly. like you would think he would go mad man mode and eat you out like his life depended on it, and he does, but not for a while. he’ll torture you, giving you kitten licks, circling his tongue around your clit slowly, licking strips up your slit. he’ll stop if you try to shove his face deeper. he would sigh like he was mad at you, and rest his check on your inner thigh as he looks up to you in disapproval.
but once he finally starts to eat you out like his life depended on it, you would try to close your thighs, shove him away because you are so overstimulated it’s starting to hurt, but he is way bigger than you and so much stronger, he would keep your legs open with ease, and would just go back right in when you would shove his head away. but he gets fed up, and stops eating you out completely, pushing himself off the mattress and walked to lay next to you, almost jumping in bed as he lays on his side, resting his check on the palm of his hand as you look at him bewildered and out of breath.
“you need to learn how to control yourself.”

Is That A Smile
A/N: thanks dear @mustangshelbyy for requesting "Can you write a scene where the woman he’s involved with starts laughing because of a slightly absurd or ironic situation, and it surprises Crocodile enough that he ends up laughing too" I'm sorry it's a bit short but I thought drawing it out would be a bit weird. Hope you like it though.
Plot: Buggy is causing chaos and you find it extremely funny and apparently Crocodile seems to enjoy it a bit more than he likes to admit
Warnings: none, SFW, Buggy being a clumsy dork, and me trying to come up with a ridiculous scene (that's just so weird, sorry), not proofred
Charactes: FReader, Sir Crocodile, some shouting from Buggy
The Cross Guild hideout was never truly quiet. Even when Crocodile tried to enforce silence. It still leaked in through the walls, Buggy’s voice, mostly…..especially to be honest.
“…AND THEN I SAID, ‘OF COURSE I DESERVE THE TREASURE! I AM THE FUTURE KING OF THE PIRATES!’”
A pause, no one wanted to say something at first before one of the crew decided to break the silence. “…Captain Buggy, that was not what happened.”
“That is EXACTLY what happened,” he insisted.
“It absolutely wasn’t,” Avlida sighed sipping from a glass of wine.
From the other side of the office door, Crocodile didn’t even look up from his paperwork. “Shut him up,” he said flatly to you.
You leaned against the desk, watching him with mild amusement. “You say that like it’s easy.”
Another crash echoed outside, followed by shouting. Then what sounded like several men arguing over a map that may or may not have been upside down.
Crocodile’s pen stopped when someoneknocked on the door. He was clearly annoyed by now. “…What now.”
The door creaked open slightly. One of the Cross Guild members peeked in. “Sir Crocodile… there’s been a situation.”
“I can hear that.”
“It involves… Captain Buggy,” the man explained with a shaky voice.
“I assumed,” Crocodile said rubbing the bridge of his nose. You were surprised that he wasn’t yelling by now and found the whole conversation rather amusing already.
“…He attempted to ‘improve morale’ by personally leading a treasure retrieval mission.”
Crocodile slowly exhaled smoke. “…And?”
The man paused for a moment and it was clear he was debating with himself on how to continue or if it would be smarter to sent someone else in and just run. “…He got stuck in a cannon,” he finally said.
Silence followed his word, you tried not to smirk and found a stain on the floor suddenly very important.
“…Again?” Crocodile asked, dangerously calm.
“Yes, sir.”
From outside Buggy’s shouting could be heard. “UNHAND ME, YOU FOOLS! THIS IS PART OF MY MASTER STRATEGY!”
A second voice was sounding like someone was panicking. “He’s upside down.”
“Actually, he’s been upside down for ten minutes,” Galdino's voice added.
You though had started to press your lips together, you knew that it was kinda embarrassing thinking that the man that had become a Yonko, that was believed to be the mastermind behind the Cross Guild, the one leading Sir Crocodile and Dracule Mihawk was currently stuck upside down in a cannon — again.
Crocodile’s eye twitched slightly. “…Continue,” he ordered wanting to know what caused that mess this time.
“Well Captain Buggy wanted to fire a glitter bomb with the cannon but it didn’t work and… he tried to check why it didn’t work said something about disrespect and then he lost his footing and he slid into the cannon…” the man paused for a moment because that wasn’t even the worst part of it. “….apparently the cannon decided to put aside it’s protest of not working and so he got fired…..sideways…” the man finished and you were feeling so damn close to explode from laughter, that you were clawing at your own arm to keep you from it.
“…Toward what,” Crocodile asked clearly close to losing his shit.
“The supply warehouse,” the man stammered clearly regretting that he was the one to report.
You saw Crocodile’s eye twitch again and this time a bit more aggressive but he didn’t erupt not yet at least. “…And?”
The man exhaled and clutched at his sleeve. “…He broke through three walls.”
Crocodile finally set the pen down. Very slowly, very deliberately and very annoyed. “…And ruined the map room.” He said more as a matter of fact.
“…Yes, sir.”
You made a sound, something between half cough, half laugh, and immediately tried to hide it behind your hand. Especially when Crocodile shot you a look that clearly meant 'don’t'. Which made it even harder. It was like a switch flipped inside you whenever you knew you weren’t allowed to laugh you felt like bursting out into it. But before that could happen you could hear shouting from outside again.
“I HAVE DISCOVERED A NEW CONTINENT!” Buggy’s loud and boisterous voice shouted.
“That’s a barrel,” Cabaji sighed.
“I NAME IT BUGGYLAND!” Buggy exclaimed totally ignoring Cabaji.
That was the final straw in your composure snapping. To hold back was no longer possible and you knew Crocodile would be scolding you for it but it just burst out of you. Pure, genuine and unfiltered laughter. Not loudly at first, just a small, incredulous sound that slipped out before you could stop it.
Crocodile’s gaze lingered on you, his eyes unreadable and you tried to recover but it didn’t really work. “I’m sorry— it’s just— Buggy calling a barrel a continent—” you stammered before another laugh escaped you.
Crocodile rubbed his temple and looked back toward the door. “…Idiots,” he murmured as he dismissed the man in the office who looked extremely relieved to get out.
“Complete idiots,” you nodded, still laughing before you managed to calm down again.
Your eyes locked with his and for a moment there was silence again, not the uncomfortable kind though.
He finally exhaled, low and deep. “…He called it Buggyland,” he said shaking his head slightly in disbelief
Unfortunately, or maybe fortunately, that was it again. Hearing Crocodile repeat it caused you to lose it and the laughter bubbled out of you again. “Sorry” you said but couldn’t stop yourself and simply let it out now. He could scold you later for it, right now it was just too funny.
Crocodile didn’t react immediately, he just stared at the paperwork. But then you heard it. Very quietly, a short rough sound was leaving his lips. Not quite a cough but not quite ‘nothing’ either.
You froze, your laughter ebbing out. “…Was that—” you asked, eyes wide and lighting up at him.
“No,” he denied flatly.
You looked at him and pointed a finger. “It definitely was!”
Crocodile groaned and pinched the bridge of his nose. “It wasn’t.” But his mouth had already betrayed him, just slightly. A faint crease at the corner, like the idea of amusement had forced it’s way through sheer pressure.
Before you could say something else you could hear Buggy’s voice again.
“DECLARE IT AS CROSS GUILD TERRITORY! I DEMAND A FLAG!” Buggy shouted and you felt your lips twitch again.
“…He’s asking for a flag,” Crocodile rumbled and leaned back in his chair, taking a drag from his cigar. “…Give him a flag.”
You stared at him with wide eyes and furrowing your brow. “You’re indulging him?”
“I’m ending the situation,” he explained.
You tilted your head slightly, still totally surprised by this. “That’s not how this sounds.”
“It is.”
You didn’t believe him but you knew that this conversation was leading nowhere and instead you smiled again, softer this time, watching him instead of the chaos outside.
“…You were going to laugh,” you said crossing your arms.
“I did not,” he said, his eyes meeting yours.
Your smile didn’t falter in fact it actually widened a bit. “You almost did.”
Crocodile glanced at you. “Don’t make it a habit of noticing things.”
“I already do.”
You kept looking at each other without any words being said and you saw his own gaze softening. Outside, Buggy continued declaring sovereignty over a barrel, he deemed a new continent.
Crocodile sighed. “…It is a ridiculous name,” he rumbled quieter than before.
Your grin widened immediately. “Oh my god — you are laughing,” you smirked pointing a finger at him.
“I am not.”
“Come on you laughed over Buggyland, over the fact that Buggy got stuck in a cannon that sent him flying into the map room to ‘discover’ a new continent and demanding a flag to make it officially Cross Guild territory” you said, purposely repeating everything to see his lips twitch. “I knew it," you almost shouted as you looked at him.
“What."
“That,” you said pointing at his mouth. “That little smile right there”
“It wasn't a smile,” he frowned.
“It absolutely was.”
“I was exhaling.”
“That was not an exhale that was a smile.”
“It wasn’t,” he protested again.
This time though you didn’t let him off that easy. “It was.”
“...You're becoming insufferable.”
Your eyes remained locked on his. “Buggyland” you repeated again and then giggled yourself it was just too ridiculous. And just in that moment the chaos outside decided to reach it’s absolute high.
“CAPTAIN BUGGY! THE BARREL HAS ROLLED AWAY!” someone shouted.
“AFTER IT!” Buggy ordered.
“..Captain... it's rolling downhill.”
“...THEN DECLARE IT A COLONY!” Buggy screamed loudly and over the top and that was it. Crocodile actually let out a short laugh. Not because he wanted to but because Buggy and your laughter had defeated his self-control for good.
The sound made your heart swell. You looked at him with open delight as your laughter joined his. Not solely because of Buggy but because somehow Crocodile’s laugh was infectious. When his dark rumbling laughter stopped, he looked at you and then down at his papers as if he had been burnt and the sound of his own laughter had embarrassed him because it wasn't that villainous laugh you knew. It was lighter, more genuine.
“I like that sound,” he suddenly rumbled.
You were ripped out of your thoughts at his sudden words and you looked up at him and blinked confused. “What sound?”
He didn’t answer immediately and seemed to hesitate for a moment as if inwardly annoyed with himself that he brought that up. “Your laugh,” he finally admitted.
You were caught off guard and stared at him for a long while before he cleared his throat. “It suits you,” he said like a matter of fact and that didn’t make this moment any less shocking and surprising for you. In the best way though.
“Was that a compliment?” you managed to ask feeling your cheeks heat up slightly.
“No,” he lied.
“It definitely was,” you said grinning wide.
“I made an observation.”
“That's your version of a compliment.”
He didn't react on it and instead reached for a file on his desk and pretended like he was busy. “Get out,” he grumbled.
You though didn’t move. Instead you laughed again and this time, the corner of his mouth lifted immediately. You didn’t comment on it, you simply enjoyed seeing him like this.

Hi, I need ANYTHING for Kid please and thank you 😃❣️
Disease of the Stubborn (Kid x Reader)
One Piece | Eustass Kid | 5.4k | Masterlist
The infirmary was barely lit, the only light coming from an oil lamp flickering at your elbow. It stretched the shadows of bottles and instruments across the steel walls until every shelf looked longer than it was. Antiseptic still stung the back of your nose from where you’d dropped the bottle earlier, sharp enough to cut through the oil and salt that usually clung to the Victoria Punk.
You sorted through supplies carefully. Bottles that had expired went into a heavy crate, clinking against each other. You wrote the names of emptied boxes carefully into a notebook before stacking them beneath the desk. It was tiring, repetitive work, but counting bottles and scratching down figures kept your thoughts moving in straight lines.
And you needed it occupied because otherwise… well, you had a lot to wonder about.
You’d found a petal earlier that day.
Not strange by itself although the bright red colour had caught your eye. Blood at the edge made you suspicious, even as you let it flutter off the edge of the balcony into the water below.
Thankfully, the source didn’t keep you waiting for long before it stormed its way in.
Kid never opened doors quietly. He always flung them open with enough force that you imagined he meant to rip them off entirely. You startled, hand bumping into a collection of small syringes. They scattered over the floor and you sighed.
“Evening,” you said as you knelt down to collect them. “Have you cut off a finger?”
Kid glared at you. A faint flush sat high across his face and his breathing came heavier than it should have, though he’d only crossed the doorway. Worse was the uncertainty beneath his glare. It looked so unnatural on him that you kept watching as you gathered the syringes from the floor.
“Need to talk to you.”
“About?”
He opened his mouth and almost immediately, a rough cough tore its way from his chest. His hand flew to his mouth. It was an awful, wet and choking sound. You winced in sympathy.
“You’re sick,” you said, walking over slowly. “Any other symptoms aside from the cough?”
“Fuck off,” he muttered.
“You came to me,” you reminded him. He hadn’t lowered his hand yet. “I’d like to know what you have before I treat it. And also, so if you drop dead in the middle of the deck, I can explain myself before Killer takes my head off.”
You’d meant it as a light-hearted tease. Kid was healthy enough that most illnesses he might contract didn’t bother you much. But the second he lowered his hand, the humour disappeared from your heart.
Lying amongst the specks of blood were two petals. One had folded against the wet centre of his palm, its edges trembling faintly with every rough breath.
Your heart and your stomach twisted at the same time. The medical knowledge blended together with a truly disgusting disappointment. One you had no right to feel.
And yet it almost broke your professionalism.
Almost.
“Ah,” you said.
“Don’t fucking ‘ah’ me!” he snapped.
You reached out slowly and picked up one of the petals. Its damp, bloodied state wrinkled your nose, but the petal itself was strangely delicate. You’d never thought the rumours of this disease were even true. And yet…
“Do you know anything about this ailment?” you asked.
“Ailment?” he snorted. “I just thought one of these idiots has been feeding me flowers.”
He scoffed but he knew that wasn’t the case. You could see it in the defensive set to his shoulders and the grimace of his lips.
“They’re growing in your lungs,” you said. “From what I know, the cause is fairly simple. Unreciprocated love.”
You hated saying it. Disliked it even more when Kid’s eyes narrowed at you in response and his expression told you that he’d already known that. You rolled the petal between your fingers and then put it on your desk carefully. You’d need it to do some further research in the morning.
“The good news is, you’re not going to die within the week,” you told him. “It’s in its early stages for now.”
“Yeah, I got that,” he muttered. “Started this morning.”
“So, what’s your plan to fix it?”
The syringes on your desk moved. Their needles turned toward Kid and you immediately reached for a box and placed it firmly over them before he could impale himself in irritation.
“You’re the doctor!” he snapped. “Why don’t you tell me how to fix it? How do I make this shit stop?!”
“The cause points fairly clearly toward the cure. If you fix the unreciprocated love, you fix the flowers. But I can’t do that for you.”
The boxes on your shelving were beginning to rattle. The metal tools inside shivered against one another with an awful, screeching sound. You looked toward them with a small sigh.
“Seems like a pretty stupid time to tell somebody you’re interested in them,” he said through gritted teeth. “What if they don’t care? You’re not going to change that by coughing up fucking flowers into their laps!”
“I need you to repel instead of attract,” you said as the needles of the syringes hit the sides of the box with soft plinking sounds.
“Don’t tell me what to do!”
“Watch me,” you responded. “Repel. Or you’re going to end up buried under a pile of my supplies and I’m going to have to dig you out.”
“Are you saying I can’t control my fruit?”
“Prove to me you can.”
He scoffed and the tools stopped moving. You eased some of the pressure on the box but kept your hand firmly over it. Kid had very good control over his magnetism but it never hurt to ensure he didn’t impale himself.
He coughed again, much softer as though he kept it locked in his chest through irritation alone.
“Thank you,” you said. “Now, my first actual question is do you know if it’s actually unreciprocated or are you assuming? Like have you said something, not yelled it, before?”
“None of your fucking business.”
“I’m trying to keep you alive,” you reminded him, even as it stung at the edges of your heart.
“Yeah, well don’t bother. I don’t need to sit here and worry myself over some stupid flower petals when we have actual problems.”
He turned on his heel and marched from the room. You watched the door slam shut and looked down at the petal on your desk. The bright red turned your stomach even as it began to dry. Kid wasn’t going to share the source of the disease. It was time to look for a cure.
But you had no idea where to start.
You told the rest of the crew he was ill and took to collecting the petals – despite his very, very loud complaints about both. Most of the petals were red and though a few varied in colour, the majority shared the same shade. You weren’t sure if it meant anything. But you were skipping over no details in your research.
Most of what you found was useless. There were artistically rendered plants curling through painted lungs, long passages about the purity and suffering of love, and far too many accounts that ended with a name and a date of death. Those were the only records that offered anything practical.
You bought every book that mentioned the disease. At each port, you cornered doctors in cramped offices and overcrowded clinics, asking for notes, case histories, anything they had kept. More than once, Kid’s coughing carried through an open window or down the street behind you, wet and unmistakable, and you kept talking as though you couldn’t hear it.
It wasn’t great. Desperation grew in you much like the flowers in his lungs. There had to be a solution but what it was…
When you worked out a progression chart, you cornered him in his workshop.
The room smelled of iron when you stepped in. There were too many petals here for your comfort, gathering on the desk and in the corners. They looked wrong among the wrought metal and iron dust, too soft and bright for anything in Kid’s workshop. He immediately gave you a look, mouth opening as though to tell you to get out. You beat him to speaking.
“The moment it progresses from petals to flowers, you need to tell me.”
“I’m not giving you a fucking inventory!”
You crossed your arms over your chest. “You came to me first. That means that I’m now responsible for monitoring how bad this gets. So, if it gets worse, you tell me.”
“I didn’t go there to get myself a fucking nanny,” he retorted. “Why don’t you go back and wait for an actual injury to arrive? Wire’ll probably slice his stomach open again.”
You put your hands firmly on the table in front of his metal arm. A thin layer of dust and iron shavings pressed into your palms. “And if he did, I think I’d have a better chance of keeping him alive than you right now.”
“I’m fine.”
“I firmly disagree.”
The door opened before he could retort. Both your heads snapped toward Killer, who paused on the threshold without looking particularly interested in whatever he had interrupted. Fine. If Kid wasn’t going to be forthcoming, you knew who actually respected your knowledge.
“Killer, if you see him cough up even one flower, tell me immediately.”
“Okay.”
“Hey!” Kid snapped. “Don’t set spies on me on my ship! If there’s a problem, I can tell you myself!”
“Will you?”
Whatever answer he wanted to give you was lost in a sudden flurry of coughs. You watched another red petal drift to the ground. It was a raw and uncomfortable sound; like air pushing through leaves. You winced in sympathy.
“Is it contagious?” Killer asked.
“Not from what I know,” you said. “It’s rare. Very much so but there’s always a chance of it developing if somebody chooses not to share. But it is fatal. If it gets worse, I think I’ll have to contact Trafalgar.”
Kid’s glare pierced through you. “What the fuck does he have to do with this shit?”
“I think he might be able to remove the infection,” you said. “He could take your lungs out with minimum damage and find out if there’s a physical source. It’s only speculation on my side but seeing as you’re insisting on the hard cure instead of the easy one…”
“There’s an easy cure?” Killer asked.
“Yes. Easier for most people at least. If he would just open his mouth and talk for a second, he’d be fine.”
“Would it still count if it was yelling? Because that’s more likely.”
“Don’t you start now!” Kid barked.
You gave him a look and made your way out the workshop, mind running far too fast. The Victoria felt colder than ever, even when you stood on the deck in the sun. Trafalgar wasn’t a bad option. If there was a physical plant, he would be the best choice to remove it.
If you could convince him to help.
It took less than two days for Killer to rap his knuckles against the metal door of your office. “He’s struggling to breathe.”
Kid had been very good at avoiding you. You’d hoped to observe him going about his usual day but that felt impossible anymore. Even finding him when you were looking turned out to be difficult until you cornered him near the helm.
You snuck up on him, feeling rather like a cat approaching a particularly skittish bird, and caught his arm, hands firm against his bicep.
“Hey!”
“No,” you said. “I’m examining you.”
He tugged on his arm. He could have taken it back. You knew he was strong enough to, even while he coughed up petals, but he followed you to the infirmary with little more than a barked complaint.
“Stay here,” you said after he was sitting on one of your beds.
He rolled his eyes. “You’re overreacting.”
“That’s what I’m hoping for. How’s your breathing been?”
“Still breathing.”
“Take a deep breath.”
“You’ve heard me breathe.”
You gave him a look and he dragged in an exaggerated breath, only for it to break apart into a violent cough. Petals splattered over his hand and the metal floor. At least six or seven, flecked with blood. You leaned down to pick them up, purposefully not looking at him until they were on your desk. You reached for your stethoscope.
“Has it been interrupting your sleep?”
“Listen to my damn lungs and leave the rest alone.” His voice rasped painfully before he cleared his throat.
He said it far too quickly for that to not have been an answer in its own right.
You stepped closer and put a hand on his right shoulder. He stiffened before he allowed you to push him straight, nudging his arm down so you could examine his chest easier.
“Do you know what I don’t understand?” you asked as you held the stethoscope to his side. “You’ve never had any problems telling people what you think of them before. What’s so different about this?”
That had long been the reason you never acted on your own feelings. You couldn’t imagine a world where Kid, of all people, didn’t immediately follow what he wanted. If he shared your interest, you felt confident that you would have known by now.
He didn’t answer you.
One lung was definitely stronger than the other. His right one made a terrible crackling sound every time he inhaled though the left wasn’t without flaw either.
You pressed your lips together. “Shirt off.”
For a second, he didn’t move. He was staring at you with an unreadable, almost accusatory expression. As though a forced medical exam for the disease was the same as making him jump into the ocean.
You tapped your foot impatiently. “What?”
“Nothing.”
Kid pulled the shirt off and dropped it to his side. You stepped around him and listened again, hoping to any god that would listen that you had just heard the fabric moving. His breaths rasped and the fear you’d been keeping at bay moved forward.
This wasn’t a mysterious disease that existed only as a name on a page. You could hear the obstruction in his lungs clearly.
You hung the stethoscope around your neck and stepped away. “If you die because of this, I’m going to be so fucking pissed. Have you coughed up any blood without the petals?”
“No,” he muttered. “Just these stupid things. Why are they red anyway? In all those books of yours, they’re pink or white.”
“No idea,” you admitted, not missing the confession that he’d been looking through your books when you weren’t around. “Maybe they’re taking the colour from your hair. They’ll turn you grey within the next month.”
“Funny.”
You hummed and picked up a tongue depressor. “Open.”
He clicked his tongue but followed your instructions. His throat was red and inflamed. You could see a petal stuck at the back and you gently pulled it out with a pair of tweezers. Kid’s nose wrinkled at the sensation.
You examined it under the light and sighed. “I wish you would help me here. I do like you alive and breathing.”
He immediately leaned away from you, arm crossing over his chest. “Really no other way to make this shit stop?”
“Not from what I’ve learned,” you said. “Maybe you can buy yourself some more time if you avoid the source but that’s mostly a rumour. No evidence to prove it helps. And I imagine it isn’t anybody on board the Victoria anyway so…”
“The hell’s that supposed to mean?”
The words hurt to admit but you said them anyway. “I just can’t imagine you not telling somebody when you see them every day. That’s all.”
“Can’t say anything at all when there’s flowers everywhere.”
“That’s actually a pretty good reason to do it,” you pointed out.
“Why? To blackmail the ‘right’ response?”
Another coughing fit began and you quickly pulled the stethoscope free to listen at his side. His right lung was really struggling to draw breath. The laboured pulls made your heart twist horrifically.
The disease was progressing quicker than it should have. If there was another way to get this removed, it would have to be your solution.
“You’re being stubborn,” you muttered as he finished. “You know that right?”
“Shut up.”
“At best, you have a few weeks before you’re bringing up full flowers. And at that point, we’re almost out of options.” You stepped away to get a glass of water from the sink. “I think it’s time to decide what you’re going to do.”
Kid rubbed his chest and roughly thumped against it with a fist. A couple more petals escaped as he did so.
“I’ll figure something out.”
“Do I need to schedule a reroute?”
“No. Something else. Stop worrying about this, would you? I don’t want you fussing over flowers if somebody’s actually dying.”
“I hate to tell you this but you’re the one that’s actually dying.”
“Whatever. You done?”
You held out the glass of water to him. “With the examination, yes but –”
“Good.”
Kid stood, grabbed his shirt from the table and marched out the medical bay. You watched him go, water still held out in front of you until you stopped hearing his boots down the hall.
The petals worsened while you waited for him to ‘figure it out’ and you stopped gathering them, unable to store nearly enough. They weren’t helping your research anyway. You dumped most over the side of the ship and let them float away, swallowed by the surf.
Eventually, waiting was going to take too long.
Kid could hate you when he could breathe again. For now, you spoke to the others about possible rerouting to search for the Heart Pirates. It would be far from easy to track them down and your time was already short. If they even help… well, you’d have to figure that part out first then.
You were busy making notes of the progression of his symptoms, scratching down proof of his deterioration with a steady hand, when the door flew open once more.
The ink skipped over the page, bleeding through it steadily. You looked up.
Kid closed the door behind him this time before he approached, each breath lifting his chest in a shallow pull beneath his coat. His face was pale beneath his usual anger and fresh blood lingered at the corner of his mouth.
He crossed the room and threw something onto your desk. It landed across your notes with a wet, heavy sound. A complete flower lay across the paper, its crimson petals spread wide and slick with blood almost the same shade.
Kid didn’t meet your eyes. He glared firmly at the air beside you as you nudged the flower with the back of your pen.
“Alight,” you said. “We can’t mess around with this anymore. Either we speak to Trafalgar to see if he can remove it or you need to talk to whoever this is for.”
Kid’s jaw tightened. His arm twitched over his chest. You waited, unwilling to yield even as panic curled through your own heart like a traitorous poison. Part of you dreaded learning who the flower was for, but that selfishness had no place here. Not when the answer might be the only thing capable of stopping it.
“This is fucking stupid,” he muttered.
“Unfortunately, sickness is rarely fair,” you said. “I would be grateful that it’s something with a solution rather than something incurable. It could always be worse.”
He finally met your eyes. “And if I say it and they still don’t want me? Then what?”
“I don’t know,” you said. “I don’t know what’ll happen because this is a very rare disease to begin with. Any details I can find are anecdotal at best. But isn’t it at least worth a try if it can fix all this?”
He shrugged.
“You’re going to die choking on flowers if you don’t. Do you really want me to have to put ‘died from being stubborn’ on your grave?”
“Fuck off. If you put that shit on my grave, I’m coming back to toss you in the ocean.”
“Honestly, I’d rather not have to think about what I want to write on a headstone at all,” you said. “So, can I contact Trafalgar? I’ll talk to him and see if he’s going to be able to remove at least some of the blockage. It might not be a full cure but it can fix some of it until you grow a pair.”
Kid’s eye twitched faintly and his lip curled up. “Are you calling me a coward?”
Good. He was getting annoyed. Maybe if you pressed on his pride enough, he’d just snap and do it so you could eliminate it as an option. Either it worked or… or you had to keep searching but at least it was a chance.
You’d take any chance at this point.
“Yes,” you said simply.
Red was creeping up his neck as he turned to you fully. “You don’t know anything about this shit.”
“No,” you said. “I don’t and as much as I could guess, that won’t get me any further. I know you probably haven’t found some random woman on the coast and decided she’s worth dying for so at least it narrows it down to people I know. I suppose I should just ask Killer, right? You two have always had the same taste.”
“Don’t get him involved in this crap.”
“What other option do I have?” you asked. “I have no solution. You certainly haven’t brought me some miracle cure over the past few days and you can’t punch it out of your own lungs. I know of exactly one magical surgeon who has the potential to help and that’s it.”
Kid scoffed. “Yeah, I’ve noticed. You haven’t shut up about him for days.”
“What?”
“Constantly fucking yapping about Trafalgar,” he said. “Keep saying his name like that and I’ll dump you on his deck myself.”
You picked up the flower from your desk and created a small circle with your thumb and index finger. “Do you see this?” you asked. “This is the size of your trachea, okay?” You placed the flower against it and tried to tug it through. It barely fit. “Do you see why I’m so worried about the next one?”
“Obviously I know what the problem is!” he snapped. “I’m the one who brought the thing up!”
“Then why are you so annoyed that I’m asking somebody else to help keep you alive?” you asked.
“Never said I cared about it. Just mentioned that it’s all you’ve been going on about.”
“Because I don’t have anything else! Every book I read and every person I speak to says that this is fatal! And I think I have a better chance of nagging you into a surgery than I do at forcing you to speak about your feelings!”
He glowered but there was something closer to uncertainty behind his expression. “There has to be another cure.”
You tossed the flower down and stood finally, bracing your hands against the desk. “That’s why I’m thinking about the one fruit that I know might be able to help.”
“It doesn’t make sense anyway,” he said. “I’m not the only person on this ship who’s kept his mouth shut about something this stupid. How come nobody else has had to deal with a fucking plant in their chest?”
“I don’t know,” you admitted. “Honestly, I don’t know why it chose you when it could have just as easily taken to my lungs. But what I do know is that if it had, I would be damned before I sat around here making the rest of you watch me slowly suffocate!”
“Guess it would have been easier if that happened, right? We’d just change directions and fix it within the week.”
“What are you on about?”
Kid gestured and your desk lamp began to topple. You caught it and shoved it under your table before it spilled paraffin over everything.
“If you caught this fucking disease,” he said. “And you were covering my ship in rose petals or whatever the hell they are –”
“This is a tulip,” you told him.
“I don’t care! I’m just saying it would be simpler because then we could load you up and send you to profess your love at the bottom of the sea without having to worry about fucking up anything here!”
He’d confused you enough that you had to take a second to respond. A small cough took over him while you processed the implications. Two petals dropped to the floor.
“Are you implying that I’m in love with some random surgeon I’ve met a grand total of once?” you asked. “Is that what you’re saying?”
“Only met him once but you never stop talking about him.”
“Because he’s the only doctor I know who could open your lungs without killing you! If that little rat thing on Straw Hat’s crew could do it, I’d have sailed us there instead!”
Kid blinked at you, the glare remaining as though he had forgotten to let it drop. The desk gave a low scrape beneath your palms. You glanced down as its metal feet dragged a fraction across the floor. Unusual. Even when annoyed, Kid rarely disturbed the furniture.
“Then who?” he asked.
“What?”
“You said you could have caught this,” he said. “Imagine you did. Where the hell would we be sailing to?”
You stepped around the desk and walked closer so you stood in front of him, head tilted up. “What? Do you want some kind of exchange? Where I give you my secret and you tell me yours? If that was all you wanted, you should have asked me days ago. I’ll tell you anything if you give me a solution.”
He breathed out through his nose slowly. You waited. His gaze flicked to the flower where it lay on the table and then back to you.
“Fine,” he said. “Where would we go?”
The confession lodged briefly in your throat. Then Kid dragged in another shallow breath, and embarrassment stopped mattering.
“We wouldn’t need to change course at all,” you said. “I wouldn’t even step out of this room.”
Recognition flickered over Kid’s face too quickly. It was replaced by an irritation that didn’t fit well enough; a default expression he couldn’t hide behind right now.
“Say it clearer.”
You gave him a look. “You’re not stupid, captain. And there’s no invisible man standing in the corner.”
“Doesn’t matter. Say it better than that.”
“It’s you,” you said. “If I got sick, I would have come to tell you.”
He grabbed your arm without warning and pulled you into him, lips against yours before you had a second to realise what was happening. He tasted like blood. Awful and sharp against your palate and yet you kissed him back without hesitation.
There was no thought behind it. No sensible pause to question why. Your arms were caught against his chest as he dragged you closer until there was no space between you. He kissed with the same aggression he brought to everything else; his teeth caught your lip, and his grip tightened when you tried to pull back for air.
Metal shifted throughout the room.
Something struck the floor behind you. Your chair scraped against the ground as the instruments in your drawers rattled against one another.
Years of wanting him rose through you all at once. Every feeling you had forced quieter broke loose beneath the pressure of his mouth. You could feel his heart hammering against your arms, could taste the blood on his mouth and your thoughts stumbled back into place.
You pulled back sharply.
Your breathing came unevenly and his was even worse, each inhale rough and rasping.
“Your turn,” you said.
Kid had frozen, his shoulders tense and his jaw tight. “You need more of an answer?”
You snatched the flower from your desk and threw it against his chest. “You nearly died for me! You absolute bastard, yes! I need more than a fucking kiss! Do you have any idea how much I’ve been worried! Any idea of how… I want to hear your fucking reason for why you didn’t just tell me at the beginning!”
The metal in the room quietened. Something clattered loudly to the ground nearby but neither of you looked to it.
Then he shrugged. “Didn’t want some pity lie just because I was choking.”
“Fine,” you said. “But why not before you brought up triple your lung capacity in flower petals?!”
“Just didn’t think you were interested.”
“In what?” you said. “In you? How would you ever think that?! I’ve been in love with you for so long that it’s a running joke amongst all the other women!”
He flinched at that. Good. He deserved to.
“I was going to tell you,” he said. “When I saw the fucking petals, I figured I’d just come here and say something to get it to stop. But then you saw the damned things and I couldn’t just say it anymore.”
“Yes, you could have.”
“You would have pretended even if you didn’t care.”
“Why would you think that?”
“You’d say whatever kept me breathing. Don’t act like you wouldn’t.”
“Yes,” you agreed. “Because I’m in love with you. And, by the way, you still haven’t told me.”
“Fine!” he snapped. “You need me to tell you it directly? You. It’s been you since that first time you came at me with a needle and told me my arm would rot off.”
You stilled, momentarily paused because that… that was ages ago. That was long before you’d even agreed to follow him around the world. That was back when you still found him intimidating and you’d yet to learn that for all the bluff, staring him down was the best way to quieten his moods.
“What?” he barked when you were quiet for too long. “Don’t stare at me like that.”
You shook your head. “Kid… You know… I just… fuck you.”
You gave up looking for words and just reached for him instead. He met you halfway, mouth harsh against yours as you dragged him to you. Relief pushed through the last of your anger as you focused on just him.
Then he coughed.
You tore yourself away immediately.
He bent forward, bracing himself against the edge of your desk as the coughs dragged through him. They sounded just as vicious as before, deep enough to turn your stomach and for a horrible moment, you feared the cure was as much a myth as you’d thought the disease had been.
You caught his shoulder just as something fell from his mouth and splattered over the floor.
Not another full flower. Nothing fresh or bright.
The petals were wilted, curling in on themselves. You knelt down to consider them and Kid wiped his mouth with the back of his hand as he coughed once more and inhaled.
You looked up at him. “Go sit on one of the beds.”
“I’m fine.”
“You said that when you sounded like you had gravel in your lungs. Go.”
He glared but sat on one of the beds anyway, grumbling beneath his breath while you grabbed a stethoscope. You tugged up his shirt before he could protest and pressed it against his ribs.
The crackling hadn’t disappeared completely. His lungs still sounded irritated and you suspected they would be for some time after everything he’d put them through but the obstruction was easing. Air moved where it hadn’t before.
The relief almost hurt as you breathed out.
“Feels better,” he muttered.
“Good. Then it’ll feel even better tomorrow. You’re staying here to rest until I can be certain it’s continuing to improve.”
Kid’s eyes narrowed. “What? No.”
“You have potentially damaged lungs, and blood loss so I need to watch you. And it’s also punishment,” you said. “For making me stress so much.”
He gave you a flat look but didn’t try to stand again.
You kissed him once more, to be certain he was still there. His lips still carried a trace of iron but his breathing had steadied. Each inhale came deeper than the last, no longer catching whatever had been growing inside him.
