You're in desperate need of a hug and they've got you ft. Monster Trio & Ace
A/N: I couldn't help myself. I need a hug and I'd like these men to do so- Mentions of grief but hugs make it better
Sanji
Honestly, sometimes, life just sucked and memories would hit you like a train and the grief, gods, the grief would come in waves. It was days like today where you wanted to just retreat into the library of the Sunny and refuse to come out until you felt more like yourself. Your plan was ruined however when Sanji ran into you. He was so gentle when he caught the look on your face.
"I'm sorry, love, you alright?" He asked and you tried so hard to tell him that you were but you shook your head, hardly getting any words out as he instantly wrapped his arms around you. He had always been affectionate and this time was no different but there was something comforting and warm about the cooks' arms. He wrapped you up in them, making you feel right at home. You really did feel at home in them.
You buried your face against his chest as his hand gently cradled the back of your head, you felt the tears well up in your eyes but you were safe, warm, and Sanji only held you tighter as he placed a kiss atop your head.
Most people assumed that Luffy didn't have any clue about emotions or other people but they'd be wrong. He knew his crew like he knew himself and he was very well aware of how they all were feeling. He knew when Zoro was happy but didn't show it how most people did, he knew when Sanji was truly angry, he knew when Robin was excited about a new discovery, Nami was excited about treasure, Usopp when he was truly afraid, Franky when he was happy...
He knew his crew and he knew something was off with you the moment he saw you on the figure head by yourself. Typically that was his spot, but Luffy didn't mind sharing it with you, he climbed up and sat down beside you. He wasn't loud, no, Luffy did know when to be quiet and when words were needed.
"You need a hug?" He asked softly, causing you to turn to look at your captain. You'd hardly noticed him as you were lost in your own thoughts. Your cheeks were stained with tears and he reached over and gently brushed his thumb under them as you nodded. It was only an instant later that the reckless and loud captain with the straw hat was pulling you into his arms. He held you tight, resting his chin on your head as he pulled you into his lap. You snuggled against him, burying your face against his neck.
Luffy smiled as he rested his chin on top of your head, staring out at the endless sea. "See, you'll be alright, hm? You've got all of us, always."
And that was his promise and he would keep it.
Zoro
The swordsman had known something was off with you when you didn't come and watch him train in the morning. That was typically one of the first things you did even before breakfast, you came and watched him, then he noticed you had hardly talked to anyone during breakfast and then you had retreated to somewhere deep in the ship.
He sighed.
"Tch. Troublesome." He muttered but he went to find you anyway. His observation haki wasn't needed. He knew where you'd be. You'd be in the aquarium bar. He walked into the room to find you on the beach, staring at the fish, a book lay opened on your lap but you weren't reading it.
"You okay?" His voice was gruff as he walked over to you. He didn't ask permission as he picked you up with ease and sat back down with you in his lap.
You let out a startled noise but he didn't pay any mind as he made himself comfortable on the bench. He sighed as he tucked you against him. He was warm, safe, home. You buried your face against his neck as you wrapped your arms around him. He was broad but he was warm.
"No." You muttered as he held you tighter and he closed his eye, resting his cheek against your temple. His hug giving you everything you didn't realize you needed.
"Figured, you're alright now. I'm here."
Ace
Ace had dealt with many things in his life and he was good at several of them, bad at several of them too, but he knew he gave good hugs. You had told him that plenty of times and now, he was going to give you the best hug of your life. Marco had told him that the mission had been a rough mission and you had gone straight to your cabin.
Ace wouldn't be having that. He may hate himself but he didn't need you hating yourself too. He knocked on your door.
"Sweetheart?" He knocked and he heard your muffled 'come in' and he opened the door. His face softened at the sight of you sitting wrapped in a blanket on your bed.
"C'mere." Ace held his arms out and you got up, walking right into them. Ace had become home to you and you were home to him. There was no place he or you would rather be than in each other's arms. He felt your body relax as his warmth spread into you. It was something that he did without realizing it but it always relaxed you. He hummed, resting his chin on top of your head as his arms tightened around you.
"You can let it out." He whispered as he held you tighter, hand rubbing your back as he felt you practically melt into him. He smiled softly, pressing a kiss to your hair. "I'm not going anywhere. Ever." He promised as he held you tighter, the hug comforting both him and you.
look at him, wearing two of his dad’s hats, enjoying his little treat while lounging atop an unconscious marine soldier, he truly was the spoilt brat of the roger pirates.
-- taking a leave of absence from Grad School starting Thursday due to surgery happening like sometime this month or next but this means, until then, y'all get to deal with my dumbass and all of the things. I've got some drafts in the works, and new inbox requests so I'll be tackling those first in the next few days!
— tbh an Ace or Sanji hug would probably heal me but if I’m being really honest, Luffy probably gives the absolute best hugs and I could use one right now.
