Hi, how are you? I'm going to start reading Keep Safe from the beginning, because I don't remember anything about the story hahaha, but I have a question about the story: will the male reader have a romantic partner? Or will he get involved in a more intimate way? Would his partner be a male or female character? If so, I would love for the reader to have something with Zoro or Sanji, or both, but both are quite arrogant with the male reader 💔
hihi anon! i am good HOW ARE YOU :33333 first and foremost THANK YOU FOR RE READING KEEP SAFE i love u sm for even giving it ur tiem of day <3333 iur support and ask mean so much to meeee ugh ily (tldr at the end bc i didnt realize i was goig to write this much for ur ask I LOVE U FOR URASK AND THANK U SO MUCH FOR SENDING IT!!!!)
to answer your question....i actually dont know!!!!! :33333 since i am a greedy, attention loving WHORE the concept of harems (since reader is a male, if he were a female reader it would be reverse harem) is the most appealing option to me as of right nowww. i highly doubt i will ever give him a definite boyfriend/girlfriend/partner because then that leaves him completely closed off from other options....
there are definitely some relationships i plan for him to have much more tangible tension with in comparison to the familiar faces!!! as well as simply time and the good ol slow burn, the strawhats romantic interest in [name] will start to grow more and more obvious just in a realy really really really really really slow, subtle process. keep safe is definitely a slow burn fanfic, i think. and i think that can be majorly annoying for many readers, but that's just the way that it feels "right" for me to write it as, yknow? i just can't imagine zoro or sanji or nami just falling immediately head over heels in love w their crewmate, ykwim? it is just tooooo ooc for me to be "comfortable" writing
but to talk more about the "tangible tension" relationships....for example, i plan for him and law to have a lot more tension and more "romantic" (in quotations because i'm not sure if thats the right word for what im thinking of) of a connection when they reunite/in the future in comparison to what he has with sanji and zoro. for a multitude of reasons, but it's also like, thinking realistically of zoro and sanji's characters it's going to take a while before they even begin to show romantic feelings / behaviors towards keep safe mc since he is their crewmate, not to mention theyre emotionally constipated in their own ways.
as for who his romantic interests are, it really will be everyone that i wish to include LMAO so for example, i think i'm really into the idea of leaning more in with the nami x reader dynamic since i find that one to be especially endearing, under all the layers of snarky comments and teasing. like at this point, nami is very aware of each time [name] has sacrificed a lot of himself to keep the crew - especially her - safe so she's warming up more to him and all that.
holy yap fest let me wrap this up-
tldr: i don't play on giving you guys/the reader/keep safe mc a definite partner in the story, anytime soon, possibly ever. the strawhats x reader (romantic) is definitely going to be a very slow slow slow burn, but i will try highlighting more romantic undertone moments to not put you guys through a drought. this is still a one piece x reader fanfic afterall LAMO
