Anonymous asked: Are you and the heart engineer a thing?
"The hell do you mean a thing? What kind of thing?" This seemed pretty vague even though he had the feeling he knew exactly what they meant. He'd prefer the world not be this damn nosey. But he supposed it couldn't be helped. Not when he was Luffy's second, not when he was working to be the strongest swordsman. Plus, with a babe like Ikkaku, people were gonna take notice.
"If you're askin' if we're seeing each other, I mean...I see her a lot. For whatever reason she likes me. Probably a lot more than is wise. Why does anyone care to know? You askin' if we fuck? Sure." He shrugs easily, no point in lying about this. He's not ashamed or worried about it.
Eye narrows in thought. "Sucks if someone's jealous. But if they wanna make a fuss about it, they can see me about it. I have no issue setting them straight." He wasn't going to be intimidated or run off. They were both adults and no one else was going to stop them if they were gonna keep being a thing.
