Hii! This is my first time requesting! I absolutely ADORE your stories!! I had an idea for a request however I'm not sure if you write for Izo. Would you possibly be able to make an Izo (or Marco) x bunny hybrid reader that loves corgis? Obviously you don't have to if you don't want to but I would love it if you did.😊
Well of course, sorry for taking so long, by the way, guess who wrote both Izo and Marco, yeah me! Well enjoy starlight ✨

The spring festival was in full swing across the Whitebeard ship, and you, with your fluffy cottontail twitching in excitement, were searching for your favorite man. Izo was usually found practicing his training or perfecting his makeup, but today he was nowhere to be found.
"Looking for someone, little rabbit?" A smooth voice caught your attention, and you turned to see Izo leaning against the mast, looking absolutely stunning in his traditional attire.
"I-I was just... admiring the festival decorations," you stammered, your nose twitching nervously.
Izo chuckled, his eyes crinkling at the corners. "You're a terrible liar, you know. Your tail gives you away every time." He gestured to the deck below where a group of corgis were playing with some of the crew members. "I see you've made some new friends."
Your ears perked up at the mention of the corgis. "They're so adorable! Did you know they were originally bred for herding? They're such brave little dogs despite their short legs!"
Izo's expression softened. "You know, you remind me of them sometimes - small but mighty." He reached out and gently stroked one of your long ears, causing you to blush. "Would you care to join me for some sake tonight? After you've had your fill of corgi cuddles, of course."
You nodded enthusiastically, already planning how to sneak one of the corgis some extra treats later that evening.
Later that night, after the festival had died down somewhat, you found yourself sitting beside Izo on the deck, watching the corgis play in the moonlight. One particularly fluffy corgi puppy had made its way into your lap and was now sleeping peacefully.
"You seem quite taken with that little one," Izo remarked, a playful glint in his eyes as he sipped his sake.
"They're just so precious!" you exclaimed, gently stroking the puppy's fur. "Look at those little legs and that adorable face! And they're so smart too!"
Izo leaned closer, his voice dropping to a teasing whisper. "Do you love the corgis more than me?"
Your eyes widened, and you immediately shook your head, your bunny ears flopping with the motion. "Of course not! I just... I really love dogs."
"I know," Izo chuckled, reaching out to tuck a stray strand of hair behind your ear. "I'm just teasing you, my sweet rabbit. Though I must admit, I'm a bit jealous of all the attention you're giving this little fellow."
You blushed, carefully shifting the sleeping puppy so you could lean against Izo's shoulder. "Well, if you're jealous, maybe you should hold me tighter so I remember who I really love."
Izo's laugh was warm and genuine as he wrapped an arm around you, pulling you close. "I think that can be arranged. But tomorrow, you're spending time with me - no corgis allowed."
"Unless they want to join us," you countered with a cheeky grin.
Izo shook his head, but you could see the fondness in his eyes. "You're impossible, you know that?"
"But you love me anyway," you replied confidently.
"That I do," Izo confirmed, pressing a soft kiss to your temple. "That I do."
The infirmary was unusually quiet when you hopped in, your bunny ears twitching nervously. Marco looked up from his paperwork, his blue eyes lighting up when he saw you.
"Well now, if it isn't my favorite patient," he greeted with his trademark lazy grin. "What trouble have you gotten yourself into today?"
"Nothing!" you protested quickly, your cottontail giving an involuntary twitch. "I just wanted to see if you needed help organizing anything."
Marco leaned back in his chair, stretching his arms behind his head. "Or maybe you just wanted to see if I'd let you play with the corgi puppies again?"
Your ears drooped slightly. "Was it that obvious?"
"Only to someone who pays attention," Marco replied, standing up and walking over to you. He gently scratched behind one of your ears, causing you to melt slightly. "They're sleeping in the back room if you want to say hello. Just be quiet - Thatch is trying to nap next door."
You followed Marco to the back room where a litter of corgi puppies were curled up together in a soft bed. One of them opened its eyes and let out a tiny yip upon seeing you.
"I think that one likes you," Marco whispered, wrapping an arm around your waist. "You know, I've been thinking... maybe we could get one of our own? A corgi for us to take care of together?"
You looked up at him with wide eyes, your heart beating faster. "Really?"
"Really," Marco confirmed, pressing a soft kiss to your forehead. "But if I get you a corgi, promise me you won't neglect your poor boyfriend."
You giggled, reaching up to stroke Marco's cheek. "Never! How could I neglect the best phoenix doctor in the world?"
Marco's grin widened. "Flattery will get you everywhere, my sweet bunny. But I'm serious - I've seen how you get around dogs. You forget everything else exists."
"That's not true!" you protested, though your blush betrayed you. "I just... really, really love corgis."
"I know," Marco chuckled, pulling you closer. "And I love you, which is why I'm willing to share your attention with a furry little creature that will probably shed all over our bed."
"Hey! We can train it not to shed on the bed," you insisted, though you were already imagining having a corgi puppy of your very own.
"Whatever you say, love," Marco replied, though you could see the amusement in his eyes. "But remember, when you're cuddling your corgi, I get cuddles too. Deal?"
"Deal," you agreed eagerly, standing on your tiptoes to give Marco a proper kiss. "Thank you, Marco. This is the best news ever!"
Marco laughed, his blue eyes sparkling with affection. "Anything for my bunny. Now, how about we go pick out a name for our future corgi? I'm thinking something like 'Fluffy' or 'Short Legs'."
You swatted his arm playfully. "We are not naming our corgi 'Short Legs'!"
"Fine, fine," Marco raised his hands in surrender. "You can pick the name. But I get to pick the collar."
"Deal," you agreed again, already planning a shopping trip for corgi supplies in your head.
As you left the infirmary hand in hand, you couldn't help but feel like the luckiest bunny in the world - soon to have both a wonderful boyfriend and a corgi of your very own.
