Bedtime Story - Eddie & Wayne Munson

Wayne Munson used to have a schedule that suited him perfectly fine. Work the night at the plant, come home in the morning and had some croissants he had picked up at a gas station on the way home, and go to bed. The next day he would spend some time going through the newspaper, watch some tv and go to a diner before heading to back work. He never deviated from this schedule much, except on weekends where he frequented a bar with some of his colleagues. This suited him just fine. That was until one day, his nephew was dropped off and never picked up again.

When Wayne was picked as the caretaker for little Edward, he had no idea how to care for a child. He hadn’t had any experience in that field.  He was a single man after all, and had no plans to have any children. He never saw his nephew a lot before that. After all, his brother had always been on the road, taking his kid everywhere he went because he couldn’t afford to pay someone to take care of the child. He didn’t like dropping him off at family members either. Wayne had never known why, until the kid became his responsibility.

The child had been emaciated, covered in bruises and seemed generally miserable.  It wasn’t a surprise to Wayne that his brother had been a terrible parent. He felt bad that he had never made an effort to check on the quality of parenting his brother did. If he had, would he have been able to see the signs? Would he have been able to get the kid out there faster? Helped him?

It was no use to keep wondering about the ‘what might have been’-s of the situation. There was nothing he could do to change the past. The only thing he could do was make sure the child would be better off in the future. That, of course, was easier said than done. Fitting Eddie in his life took quite a bit of trial and error. After all, his usual schedule was no longer any good. A child needed to be fed, go to school, looked after in general. And whilst Wayne couldn’t risk changing jobs, as he wouldn’t be sure if he could fend for both him and the kid, he could change his habits to ensure the best situation possible for the new addition to his home life.

Wayne started to make sure his nephew was showered, had eaten and was in bed before he left for work. This meant no more diner meals. Of course, Wayne was no kitchen princess, but he knew enough to get by. That didn’t mean there weren’t often readymade meals or canned foods, but he made sure Eddie always had a varied meal and a helping of vegetables. That last part had been the hardest to accomplish. Not only Eddie wasn’t a big fan, Wayne wasn’t either. The man had to make sure to force himself to eat more vegetables around the child, to set a good example. It paid off as the little boy did eventually stop  protesting and ate his daily assigned vegetables after his uncle.

Wayne couldn’t afford a babysitter for Eddie. He was already living in a trailer and now had to use his wage to pay for not only himself but a growing child too. He got a little bit of government support for taking in his nephew but that didn’t go a long way considering the boy needed to eat, have fresh clothes, go to school and much more. Luckily, he got along well with a sweet old lady that lived on the left-hand side of his trailer. She agreed to keep an eye on the little boy while he was away for work.

In the mornings, when he came home from work, he woke up Eddie to get him ready for school. Surprising to no one, the boy’s father hadn’t been great with getting the kid in school. Wayne had been surprised the child had been in school at all, if he was being honest. While Eddie ate breakfast, Wayne would pack a sandwich he picked up on his way home into his nephew’s bag. Once he made sure the boy was on the bus to school, he finally allowed himself to get some sleep with an alarm ready to wake him up so he could prepare dinner by the time the school bus dropped the child back off.

This was the schedule both Eddie and Wayne figured out together, got used to and felt comfortable with. However, to get there wasn’t easy.

Eddie had a lot of trouble trusting adults, even the ones he was related to. Especially the ones he was related to. Luckily, it became clear to the child relatively quickly that Wayne was one of the good ones. He wasn’t there to hurt Eddie. In fact, the man would probably never forgive himself if he ever did. This child had no fault to his brother’s shortcomings and shouldn’t be paying for them either. It was up to Wayne to make sure the child was raised better than he had been before. And that would take a lot of time and patience. But hurting Eddie when things didn’t go the way he wanted was not the way to go. It never even crossed his mind.

He would be lying if he said he never raised his voice at the boy. After all, everyone’s patience runs out eventually. Wayne’s heart would break if he saw Eddie shut down and seemingly brace himself for impact. The older man would shut down as well. He despised his brother for instilling this much fear into the child. However, it also made it hard to try and teach Eddie the manners he had never learned from his father. After all, you needed to teach children that not everything can go their way and from time to time you needed to punish him. Over time, Eddie learned that a raised voice didn’t mean he was going to get hurt, it only meant that he was behaving in a way he wasn’t supposed to. He knew his uncle would take the time to go over what had gone wrong and how to do better. Just like that, Eddie turned into a very well behaved kid, and often the older man wondered how the child was even related to his despicable brother.

Wayne had gotten a few days off from work to adjust to the new life. A child in your life was a big change after all, not something that you just simply accept as a fact. He used the time to try and get the boy to trust him, get to know him and try to find the best way to handle him. Young Eddie had a lot of nightmares and bad sleeping habits. The sleeping schedule was relatively easy to change. That was something that Wayne could handle, since it at least involved some sort of logic.

The nightmares, that was something else entirely. That was entirely based on emotions and bad memories. Saying that none of it was real held no meaning for the little child that was in his bed crying, scared and overwhelmed. Wayne tried everything he could think of. Warm milk, playing music, leave on a nightlight, let Eddie sleep in his bed... None of it worked. While sharing the bed with his uncle did put the boy at ease for a short while, the nightmares would return. Besides, it was far from a permanent solution.

One day when Eddie was particularly fussy and Wayne was growing increasingly tired, the man decided to try something new. He grabbed one of the books he kept stored in the trailer. It’s not that the man read much but everyone ends up owning a few books somehow. It was an old book called The Fellowship of The Ring. Maybe the book could bore the young boy into falling asleep. Wayne sat down at the end of Eddie’s bed. The young one’s face was contorted in a frown and tears were staining his round cheeks. The sight was sadly familiar to his uncle, as it was a regular occurrence.  Hopefully, he had found the solution now.

Wayne made sure his nephew was tucked in and laying down comfortably to sleep. He wiped away the tears that still remained and whispered some words to try and make Eddie feel more at ease. When he made sure the child had calmed down, he grabbed the book and announced he would be reading him a bedtime story. Wayne started reading the book. It was fantasy, which wasn’t really his genre, but it seemed to capture Eddie’s attention as he was visibly straining himself to take in the words his uncle was saying. He wasn’t sure he had seen the child so concentrated on anything before. However, this was good news to him as he was sure it would indeed tire out the boy and make him go back to sleep. Sleep indeed came easy to Eddie after a short while of listening to a newly started adventure in the world of Middle Earth. Wayne made sure to mark the spot they had reached and silently left the room, soon letting in his neighbour to keep an eye out while he was at work.

From then on, another part of Wayne’s daily routine would be reading Eddie to sleep. Every day, his nephew was visibly looking forward to that moment, as he couldn’t wait to find out how the story would continue. During the day, he started talking excitedly about Frodo and Samwise Gamgee, Gandalf, Merry and Pippin, and the rest of the fellowship. Wayne was glad to see the boy be passionate about something. However, Eddie really pulled on his heartstrings when one day, he compared himself and his uncle to Frodo and Bilbo. He posed how Frodo was lucky to have his uncle, just like Eddie was lucky to have Wayne. That was the moment Wayne knew that if anyone dared to even leave a scratch on his nephew, he would make sure that person would never see the light of day again.

Wayne Munson had a schedule that suited him perfectly fine, as long as it accounted for his nephew, Eddie Munson, as he only wanted to make sure the kid was happy. And if Eddie was, then Wayne didn’t care what his schedule looked like.

X Drake x reader - Report

You walked through the beautiful, colorful streets of Wano. There was no denying it, the land looked gorgeous, or at least certain parts of it. Of course, you were aware there were parts of this country that weren’t as nice a sight. Especially where the factories were located.

Sadly, however, you would leave this beautiful sight behind soon and take a boat to Onigashima, which didn’t look as inviting as the Flower Capital. You had no choice though, as you had to report to your captain: X Drake. After having tailed the CP Aigis 0, it just so happened that they landed on the island your captain was doing undercover work himself.

You left the beautiful capital and quickly reached the port. A ship from the Beast Pirates was waiting for you, as Drake had instructed them to pick you up. Of course, your captain had lied and told everyone that you would swear your allegiance to Kaido, since all his subordinates were under his service.

You quickly met with the captain of the ship and verified your identity, quickly getting on board as you saw he was in a bad mood. Then again, you’d be too if Kaido would be your captain.

Onigashima came into view and your mood dropped instantly. How could this place be located so close to something as beautiful as Wano? Why was Drake even there, couldn’t he do his undercover work on the beautiful mainland instead?! The things you did for your captain.

The boat arrived and you hopped off the ship after quickly thanking him for transporting you. He only grunted in response. Geez, such nice company. You left the boat behind you and started towards the living quarters of the Tobi Roppo, using the instructions Drake had given you in his latest letter.

On the way, you noticed many of the Beast Pirates, all drinking, laughing and partying. You were glad to at least see they had a better mood than that ship’s captain. If you would have to spend your undercover time looking at moody faces you’d go mad and become sour yourself. You wanted to leave this country with your sanity.

Finally, the living quarters of the Tobi Roppo came into view in the distance. Honestly, you’d be glad to rejoin your captain and your old crew. Tailing CP Aigis 0 had been quite lonely and boring. Besides, seeing him always made you happier.

At least, you finally reached your destination. It also didn’t take you long to notice which one was Drake’s since it was the most barren place. You walked over to the door and knocked. No answer. Of course, Drake wasn’t here. Why would it be easy?

“Can I help you?” You jumped and turned around at the person from who the voice came. It was a rather tall man with light blue hair which hung in a weird pompadour in front of his face.

“Uh, I am looking for Drake…” you said. After all, maybe this person knew where your captain was. The man smiled at you as he took you in. Did he see through you? Did he know you didn’t really belong here?

“Ah, you must be his subordinate right? He is currently in a meeting with Sasaki, but I could keep you company until then.” You looked at him a bit confused and you wanted to put distance between the two of you. You didn’t like where this was going. The man seemed to catch on as to what you were thinking. “Oh no, don’t get me wrong. I am Kyoshiro, and I just want to keep you company since Drake doesn’t tend to hurry.”

You decided to try and trust him, for now. After all, you had to be on good terms with the Beast Pirates and their associates. Thus, you followed this Kyoshiro to a bar nearby where he treated you to a cup of sake.

After a few cups, Kyoshiro became very good company. He seemed quite entertaining and knew how to keep a conversation going. “So, tell me. What is with you and Drake?” he asked. Confusion hit you. What did he mean with that?

Kyoshiro could see the confusion and chuckled. “Drake’s demeanor changed completely when he knew you were coming to Wano. He’s been more distracted and making sure everything would be in order for your arrival.”

Those words surprised you. Drake had been looking forward to your arrival then? You didn’t think it would make much difference for him, after all you were just his subordinate. The notion made you warm inside. Apparently that started to show on your face as well as you became red, much to Kyoshiro’s entertainment.

Kyoshiro of course had caught on to Drake’s change the past few days and it was easy to see why, seeing you in front of him. It was even more amusing to him to see the effect mentioning Drake had on you as well. He could easily tell there was more going on than just a captain and crewmember type of relationship. At last, he had a chance to enjoy himself and play cupid for a bit.

You noticed a mischievous glint in your company’s eyes and couldn’t’ help but wonder what that was about. “So, when do you think Drake will be back?” you asked him. You really wanted to get the report out of the way so you can get some rest from your long trip.

Kyoshiro shrugged. “No clue. But I am not in a hurry. Besides, Sasaki is also in that meeting and he is my usual drinking partner. I quite enjoy your company anyway.”

“Well, that is easily solved.” The voice made your heart skip a beat. Only now you had realized how much you missed that voice. You turned around and met the blue eyes of your captain. However, they were focused on Kyoshiro with murderous intent behind them.

Kyoshiro only looked amused. Oh how easy his job would be here. “Done already? That’s not your usual way of working.” the blue-haired man said, a teasing grin on his face.

Drake kept his eyes fixated on the man. How dared the try to woe his crewmate! “Sasaki is ready to be your drinking buddy again.” The anger present in your captain’s voice surprised him. Why was he in such a bad mood? Had something gone wrong in the meeting?

Kyoshiro sighed, but couldn’t hide his amusement even a little. “Such a shame, I was really enjoying my new company.” The man turned to look at Sasaki, who had been stationed next to the angry Drake, silently observing. “No offence.”

Sasaki laughed a bit, having caught on to the little devious plan of the yakuza. “None taken, my friend. I would also prefer company this pretty.” This was the last drop for Drake. Something inside him exploded.

Drake turned to you and grabbed your wrist. “Come on, (Y/N). It’s time to go.” and with that, he dragged you out of the bar. You were so confused and gave the two other men an apologetic look. Something told you you’d best keep them on a friendly side.

As Drake was dragging you through the streets of Ongashima, seemingly without a destination in mind, you were gathering your thoughts. “Okay and now we’re going to stop!” you shouted as you stopped in your tracks and effectively stopping your captain as well.

“What on earth was all that about?!” Drake didn’t know how to answer that. Well, he knew the answer, but he didn’t want to admit that he was jealous. After all, you were supposed to be by his side again now that you two were reunited.

“Drake?” His silence was starting to worry you. Was he sick? The man sighed. He knew there wasn’t a way around it. He supposed it was time to finally admit it.

“(Y/N)… I missed you.” Your cheeks warmed at those words. He did? You had missed him a lot as well. “I missed you too, Drake. But what does that have to do with that display in the bar?” you questioned. You didn’t see the correlation.

“Those guys don’t know how to treat a lady properly.” You laughed a bit. “And you do?” Sure, you loved Drake a lot but he was by no means great with the ladies.

Drake grumbled at that. “Perhaps not, but I do know how to treat you. And that is the only lady I need to know how to treat.” You were speechless. What were you supposed to say to that? Guess he did know how to woe a woman if he tried.

Your captain gained some confidence witnessing the flustered state you were in. “You’re not denying it, so I am assuming I am right?” You blushed more and nodded. “Perfect.” Drake said. God, you didn’t know how to handle it if Drake showed his more confident side.

However, you wouldn’t indulge him too much. “So, do you have time for my report now?” you asked, hoping to change the subject. “Of course I have time for you… but the report can wait.” Drake said with a smirk, taking your hand and leading you back to his living quarters. It would prove to be an interesting night for the two of you.

Trafalgar Law x reader - The Crownest

After weeks of nothing but water, the Heart Pirates were more than sick from travelling. Sure, a submarine helped with sea-sickness, since the waves don’t really affect it. That didn’t mean, however, that seeing nothing but sea got stale.

To make matters worse, the crew had underestimated the time it would take to travel to the next island. This meant they hadn’t stocked enough food and drinks to last the journey. They’d been going on just rice for the past week. The crew had been cursing their captain since he had not allowed them to stock any bread.

As soon as the submarine docked, the crew rushed to  land. Penguin and Shachi even fell to their knees and kissed the ground, as if they’d never see it again. Law walked past his crew members, thinking to himself that they were exaggerating and went on a quest for finding a restaurant where they could fill their stomachs before going around to find resources.

The group of pirates stumbled upon a restaurant called ‘The Crownest’, where they noticed other pirates eating. They decided that this was a safe bet for their meal and entered. As soon as they had all settled at the table, they were approached by a girl.

“Hello, may I take your order?” you asked the band of pirates sitting before you. Of course you had immediately recognized them as the Heart Pirates. After all, you see their wanted posters pass by quite often.

The crew eagerly placed their huge order and you retreated to the kitchen to give the order to the cook. Law had noticed that you recognized him, and was slightly surprised by the fact that you hadn’t been phased by it at all. Then again, the place was filled with pirates and none of the worked even so much as batted an eyelid at it.

A little while later, you started bringing over the plates of food to the Heart Pirates’ table, having to go back and forth a few times considering the size of their order. They seemed really hungry and there was no doubt in your mind they would finish every single plate.

Once you made sure they’d gotten everything they wanted, you went to serve other customers. Everything went smooth until you heard the bell ring, signaling that new customers had entered the restaurant.

You looked up and frowned a bit when you saw a bunch of marines, that were stationed in your town, looking around the restaurant.

You made your way to the group of marines. “Can I help you, gentlemen?” you asked, shooting them your usual smile. They completely ignored you and pushed past you, heading over to the Hear Pirates once their eyes fell on the group of pirates.

The group of marines pointed their weapons at the group. “Trafalgar D. Water Law, you and your crew are under arrest for your crimes against the government.” The leader of the bunch stated. Law stopped eating and took a quick look to properly assess the situation.

You could tell the marines were getting impatient by the lack of response from the pirates and were about to speak out again, when you interrupted the whole situation. “And what are we doing?” Your voice was stern, as well as the look on your face.

“We are taking in a dangerous pirate. Now, (Y/N), step back. We would prefer it if no innocent civilians had to get hurt.” You rolled your eyes. Did you really seem that fragile to him?

“I don’t care how dangerous this man is. Nor do I care what kind of crimes he committed. He is a customer and he will not be bothered during his meal here.” you stated, making sure to put on your most intimidating face. If pirates didn’t scare you, the marines had no chance at all to frighten you in the slightest.

“(Y/N), don’t be so ridiculous, he-“ You didn’t let him finish his sentence. “He, is eating. He isn’t harming anyone at all. Besides, have you forgotten our deal? You promised to stop bothering my customers. At this point even the non-pirates’ meals are interrupted. As soon as someone walks through the door here, pirate or marine, noble or theif, poor or even a king. They are a customer and they will get the proper treatment.”

The marines were all silent, as well as more than a little bit surprised that you were daring to speak out like that. “So, by definition, that makes this man a customer, whom you are bothering.” you said. The marines knew there was no way to reason with you and left the restaurant, obviously quite pissed they had to let go of a chance to capture the infamous Trafalgar Law.

“Stupid marines, always ruining my business.” you muttered as you watched them leave. The Heart Pirates were all staring at you in disbelief. Never, not even in his wildest dream, Law had thought someone would stand up to the marines for him.

You noticed the confused faces and burst out laughing. “Oh please, don’t be so surprised.” Law blinked a few times and then decided to finally speak up. “Whyd didn’t you just let them take us? It would have saved you quite some trouble.”

“Didn’t you listen to anyting I have just said? You’re a customer. I won’t let anyone bother my costumers.” you said simply. “And you don’t scare, me, Mr. Surgeon of Death. I used to be a pirate myself, so nothing you could have ever done would frighten me.” You added.

Your explanation seemed to have been satisfactory and the crew let you go back to work. They were all still in disbelief about what had just happened.

After their meal, the Heart Pirates went to gather resources and stock up on food. This time they made sure to take more than they had estimated to need. Once they got everything they needed, they headed back to the Polar Tang, ready to continue their journey.

However, Law (and by extension, the crew) was brought to a halt when he heard a familiar sounding voice yell out. “Would you take your filthy hands off of me, you brute!”

Law noticed a muscular marine holding you, trying to restrain you. “Stop fighting back, (Y/N). You’re only making things harder for yourself.” You replied to the man by spitting in his face.

The marine was obviously getting impatient with you. “(L/N) (Y/N), you are charged with helping out wanted criminals and pirates. You are hereby sentenced to Impel Down for deliberately acting against the government.” He stated.

He finally managed to put a pair of handcuffs on you and pushed you forward to a marine ship that was waiting, ready to take you to the infamous prison. You sighed and walked along, knowing there was nothing you could do to prevent your fate at this point.

“ROOM!” The noise startled you. The marines were sent flying backwards and were reassembled by none other than Trafalgar Law. You had heard stories of the Ope Ope no Mi, but you couldn’t even imagine what it would be like seeing it at work up close. It was truly insane.

Law was actually kind of enjoying the panic his powers was causing. While the marines were distracted by their newly assembled bodies, Law went over to you and broke your handcuffs. “Now we’re even.” He said.

“Why don’t you join my crew, (Y/N)? You clearly can’t stay here.” he offered. You shook your head. “Nu-uh, I gave up on the pirates’ life.” you told him.

At this point, the marines had regrouped and had their target set on you. “Doesn’t seem like you have much choice.” Law said with a chuckle as he headed over to the Polar Tang. You debated shortly before following him, knowing he was right.

Who knew an unfortunate even like this would lead to the best decision you would ever make in your life? Living the pirate life with Law was even better than you had imagined.
