mary is wearing a pink bonnet, with a clay face mask on. she’s straddling lily’s waist, painting a face mask on her as lily keeps moving and laughing because she’s tickilish. lily has a reindeer headband on to keep her ginger hair out of the way.
it’s snowing at hogwarts. Remus fell asleep in the library, head on his textbook. James laughed and said he’s just trying to soak up the information through osmosis. Lily pointed out how you need water for that, so James offered to cry on the pages. Sirius is skipping outside, wearing black fluffy earmuffs. There are snowmen with gryffindor and slytherin scarves, their stick hands intertwined.
(Request from @sampaisleyriot, I strayed from your idea a little bit sorry 😭)
• The Going Merry crew consisted of Luffy- the Captain, Nami- the navigator and Usopp- the mechanist and “protector”.
• Luffy had also found two pearl divers, named Zoro and Sanji. Unfortunately, they didn’t seem to get along much.
• “I want to offer one of you a six month contract. So, you’ll have to compete to show me which one of you I should choose.” Hearing this, they both eyed up their opposition, scoffed and agreed to the challenge.
• Sanji flirts with Nami as she steers them across the ocean. Zoro rolls his eyes and settles into a nap despite the noisy engine.
• Luffy soon calls for the anchor to be set down as he peers off the edge of the bow, which had a strange goat head on it.
• As Sanji gets into his white diving costume, Zoro opts only for a tiny pair of shorts which causes the blond’s breath to be caught in his throat.
• “You ready to watch a professional, cook?” Zoro taunts as he pulls on his leather finger guards and slides on his nose clip.
• Sanji cackles at his voice change due to the nose clip and replies, “We’ll see whether you’ve got any brains under that moss.”
• Usopp lets out a cough and hands them their rope baskets for collecting oysters and stone weights for bringing them to the sea bed.
• Then they both dive in and their competitive nature grows. Zoro’s advantage lies in his upper body strength, while Sanji’s toned legs make him glide quickly through the water.
• Despite the opportunity at stake, they aren’t stupid and regularly check that the other hasn't somehow drowned.
• On one of his trips to the surface, Sanji spots Usopp fishing on the port side. He’s about to offer to make Nami a refreshing drink when Luffy yells affectionately-
• “Sanji! Get back to work!”
• They take a couple of longer breaks, where they enjoy dates and coffee. Sanji smacks Zoro’s hand away from the Saké in the cooler.
• Zoro likes how the saltwater makes Sanji’s hair frizzy and curly.
• As the sun goes down, they both shuck their own oysters and let Nami count them. Zoro cuts the fish caught by Usopp for Sanji to cook. Luffy happily chatters.
• “Even! You got an equally small amount of pearls, but at least we can keep the meat to eat,” proclaims Nami.
• “Nami-Swan, how would you like a pearl necklace? I think-“
• “Luffy, you don’t want a pervert on your crew do you? You should just make your decision now.” Zoro fires out.
• “I am simply appreciating her beauty. You don’t get to insult me while you’re happily eating my cooking!” Sanji retorts.
• Over the next couple of days, they continue this routine. The crew becomes increasingly close and comfortable with each other.
• Sanji comments how Zoro’s body is exposed to stingrays and Zoro replies that he doesn’t need to worry about his body.
• When Luffy accidentally falls into the ocean, Sanji jumps in and saves him.
• At one point, they both spot the same oyster. Glancing over to one another, they make angry eye contact and immediately race towards it.
• Zoro reaches it first and swoops it up, only for Sanji to kick him and take it from his basket. The mosshead wraps his arms around his waist and drags him down. Sanji kicks free and swims to the surface, with Zoro’s hand on his oyster.
• They gasp for air as Nami reprimands them for their stupid antics. In the evening, they discover that the oyster was pearl-less anyway.
• When it’s finally time for Luffy to sign one of them on, both are on edge. This contract is a dream come true.
• “I won’t make you wait any longer. I’m signing you both on! Welcome to the Straw hat crew!”
• Zoro’s eyebrows rise and Sanji’s furrow.
• “We’re not actually calling ourselves that, are we?” says Nami.
• “Alright! I won’t ever actually have to go pearl diving then? Because I might have slightly lied when I was listing my skills.” Usopp scratches the back of his neck with a grin.
• “Guess you’re stuck with me, Marimo.” Sanji sings as he shakes Luffy’s hand.
• “I’ll pick up the slack whenever your little arms get tired, bastard.” Zoro gets an immediate kick to the face.
• A few months later, after they get together, they definitely try an underwater kiss and it is awful.
• Zoro gives Sanji pearl cufflinks as a gift at some point.
Lily: -meet up with them after? Do you know if Dorcas is coming?
Mary: Mhm.
Lily: *turns around and sees the curtains pulled around Mary’s bed* Mary.
Mary: *groans* Lily. Don’t i deserve a lie in?
Lily: *pulls open the curtains to see Mary scratching her head through her bonnet* Awww, sleeping beauty! Get up!
Mary: Don’t you dare tickle me right now.
Sirius: How was dinner?
James: *leaning against the wall* Huh?
Sirius: How was dinner?
James: Terrible. Awful.
Sirius: Why? What happened?
James: *sits down with the others*
Tonight I met the most beautiful girl I have ever seen in my entire life.
Remus: Are you crazy? What’s wrong with that?!
James: She’s practically engaged… to Severus Snape.
Sirius: That guy could eat a bludger.
Peter: Too bad.
James: “Too bad?” It’s worse than “too bad”, wormtail. It’s a tragedy. A girl this beautiful in love with such a jerk.
Peter: All the good ones go for jerks, you know that.
Remus: Yeah, forget her. Open your potions book and try and figure out problem five.
James: I can’t just forget her, Remus. And i certainly can’t think about POTIONS!
Dorcas: *tying up her locs for the game*
Marlene: *stretching her arms* i hope you’re ready to lose, Meadowes!
Dorcas: Make sure you warm your legs up as well. If you don’t break them in the process of losing, then i will have to do something else to them.
Marlene: *coughs and gets pulled away by James*
