Benn Headcanons
Sfw
WC: 420
Benn’s daily routine starts with getting up, taking a moment to asses his life and his life choices before laying back against the headrest and having his first cigarette of the day while he processes his mental to-do list.
Breakfast consists of whatever the cook has prepared, a coffee, extra strong and black, and a breakfast cigarette.
After downing his body weight in coffee he’s mentally prepared for going to see his captain and ask what the brand-new day holds.
An hour meeting turns into two as Shanks starts to veer off topic, already starting his own day with a cup of coffee that Benn is sure is 85% booze or at least coffee-flavoured rum.
Lunchtime, more coffee, another cigarette, watching as everyone throws things around and yells conversation across the table as he sits next to Shanks and listens to his animated chatter.
The afternoon includes cleaning his guns, inside and out. A cigarette between his lips which Hongo snatches and tosses overboard, trying to convince him that he needs to cut down, Benn agrees.
Gets out another as soon as the doctor is gone and carries on cleaning his guns, talking to them and telling them how pretty they are.
The only intelligent conversation he’s had today he muses as he heard his name shouted.
Shanks is very capable until it comes to map reading which Benn has to help, they chart their passage and Shanks once again talks his ear off while attached to a bottle of wine, saying something about how Benn should knock off early from his duties and have a drink.
He does not.
Dinner time, small meal, another cigarette as he goes to his happy place as madness happens around the table and he briefly wonders if the red force even has an adult table as drinks get spilled and grown men sob over spilled booze.
Benn debates if it’s time to make Shanks take a nap as he feels his captain leaning on him, slurring and mumbling about something fantastical.
Nightwatch comes around, his favorite duty. He loves to stand in the high-up crows nest, him and a book, the stars above and a feeling of peace has settled over the ship watching the ocean and its gentle waves.
Benn reads page after page, a book a night at the rate he goes.
But after a day of being busy, of the loud crew, and the joyous ruckus he feels it’s sometimes too quiet.
He enjoys it when a random crewmate with a bought of insomnia decides to keep him company.
“Will you just shut up for a moment so I can say something nice to you!” ShanksBenn
“Will you just shut up for a moment so I can say something nice to you!”Shanks stopped his drunken retelling of a story he had told about 200 times before immediately at Benn’s words.
“Seriously, captain. You sometimes need to let people finish their sentences, even if you are drunk,” Benn scolded him playfully, an affectionate smile on his lips. “But back to the point. You did great today. I know that you are angry at yourself for how things ended with that moron who attacked you, but you did what you had to. You protected both the village and yourself. It was the right thing to do.”
Shanks wasn’t looking at him, his eyes planted firmly on the wooden ground. “I know. It’s just that he reminded me of Buggy a bit too much.”
Benn sighed and sat down beside Shanks, wrapping an arm around him in comfort.
Shanks leaned into him. “Let’s get to bed. I think I’ve had enough.”
Benn smiled and pressed a soft kiss into his captain’s hair. “As you wish.”
Hi, how are you? First of all: I love your writing :‑), if you are not overwhelmed, may a ask some comfort with Benn? I fully trust you. Thank you so much
Thank you! I am alive, got a pulse can't complain right? hope you are doing well!
- He's a man of few words but this just means he takes in everything, he knows when you are feeling down.
- Ben isn't the type to tell you 'there, there it's okay' his love language if acts of service.
- He'll place a hand on your back, rubbing slow circles as you vent, tell him everything that's on your mind.
- The man won't judge, he'll hum in response as you carry on, if you cry he pulls you close, letting you lean against his shoulder, be held.
- Will go get you something to eat or drink, make sure you are taking care of yourself.
- Pull you out of your room to go and have a good time with the crew.
- He wont sit in total silence though, no, once he's taken in everything, when you've explained all the things that are getting you down he'll offer advice, offer you a beer or a smoke.
- Gives you advice that's helped him in the past.
- He's a good listener, impartial and wise with his advice.
- After all, he's Shanks first mate for a reason right?
