Stay with Me (Opla Luffy x Reader)
You let out a long sigh, leaning over the edge of the ship and feeling the salty sea breeze ruffling your hair.
With so many thoughts surrounding your mind, you couldn't sleep even if you wanted to. When had things gotten so complicated in your life?
As if before you met Luffy it wasn't already.
It had all started when your parents died, when you had barely become a teenager. You knew it wasn't their intention, but they left you alone in the world, not knowing how to support yourself.
Having no other choice, you packed your bags before you were evicted from the house where you lived your entire life and went to the city's brothel.
Being young and pretty, you were quickly accepted to work there.
You hated more than anything having to sell your body to brute men who didn't care about anything other than satisfying their own needs. But you had to resign yourself, there was no other way for you to be able to eat.
Until one day, you couldn't take it anymore.
Trying to defend yourself from the attack of a man who wanted to have you at any cost, you pierced his throat with a shard of glass and he fell dead on the floor.
Horrified by what you had just done, you fled out the window before they found out what happened and ran to the port. After what you had done, you could no longer stay on that island.
Without seeing clearly what was in front of you out of desperation, you ended up bumping into a boy wearing a straw hat.
He didn't know your name, or who you were, but seeing how desperate you were, he allowed you to board his ship and left the island with him and his crew.
You ended up finding out that his name was Luffy, despite some of the pirates being suspicious of you and your intentions, he seemed to trust you completely.
From what you knew of men there was only one reason why he had agreed to help you.
Without waiting for him to try something, you snuck up on him first at the first opportunity you two were alone. However, to your surprise, he rejected you.
Confused, you asked if that wasn't what he wanted for saving you. He just laughed and explained that he only saved you because he saw that you needed help and didn't expect anything in return.
That day, something changed in your heart. You no longer saw him with the same eyes as before. And that was what you least wanted to happen.
From the beginning, your plan was to stay on the next island where the ship would dock and start a new life.
You had to forget about him, but it was practically impossible when you were stuck with him on a ship for days.
You were taken out of your thoughts when you heard a familiar voice coming from behind you.
"Hi." You smiled, like you always did when you were in his presence. "Can't sleep either?"
"No." Luffy replied. "I always get anxious before arriving on an island I've never been to before."
You chuckled, not saying anything else. You looked at each other in silence for an exaggeratedly long time.
"So tomorrow you're really going to leave?" He asked, finally breaking the silence that followed.
"Yes." You answered. "I've bothered you guys long enough."
"Stop it, woman, you don't bother us at all." He laughed. "But what are you going to do when you get to the island?"
"I still don't know." You sighed. "I can get a job somewhere there, I just know I'm not going back to the life I used to live."
It was clear to everyone that he was very worried about what would happen to you after you left the ship, in addition to being uncomfortable with the fact that you would probably never meet again.
You continued to look at him, noticing that he was slowly approaching you. You knew you had to move away, but his gaze seemed to have you trapped.
You tried to say something, but the words seemed to get stuck in your throat, your heart was pounding in your chest when you had him so close to you.
"What can I do to make you staw with me?" He asked in a low murmur.
You were caught off guard, not expecting him to say that. You had to admit it was tempting, but you didn't want to be dead weight.
"W-what are you talking about?" You asked, failing to try not to stutter. "What would I do here? I'm useless."
"No, don't say that." He said. "We can find something you can do, but what can I do to make you stay?"
You smiled, happy to realize that your feelings for him were reciprocated.
"I want you to say you love me." You asked in a sweet tone of voice, trying to contain yourself as you looked at his lips.
He moved even closer and wrapped his arms around your torso, continuing to look into your eyes and approaching his face from yours.
"I love you." He whispered, without waiting another second, he kissed you lovingly.
You kissed him back and wrapped your arms around his body, looking like you would never let him go.
After what seemed like an eternity, but not long enough, you broke the kiss, almost in the same second hugging him and laying your head on his chest.
You weren't going anywhere the next day, you had finally found your place.
