Hi. If you’re still taking requests, could you write flirting headcanons for Croco-boy and Kid with a gender neutral reader please?
Crocodile is as smooth as hot butter mixed with rich dark chocolate when it comes to flirting
...which kind of makes it a shame that he’s not doing it often- because being ‘flirty’ with someone is something the pirate might have done in the past, but now he often frowns upon the mere idea
his initial approach is rather simple and straightforward. If you’re lucky enough to pique his interest he’ll either start striking up a conversation or has you called over (probably the latter) to see if you’re really as curious as you seem
in a conversation Crocodile tends to be rather dominating and almost slightly dismissive of you at first, unless he’s waiting for an answer to a question he’s asked
and your answers to said questions basically determine whether or not he’d be interested in getting to know you more properly
if you’re lucky and he does, then that’s when his ability to smooth-talk really comes into action. No longer is he taking the lead but rather encourages you to bring up your own opinions and interests as well
and the tone of his voice will also change. The pirate knows how to use those deep and velvety vocals to his advantage, so soon enough he’ll sound full-on seductive, almost as if he’s ready to abduct you to his bedroom
now that he’s in the mood to really ‘get it going’, Crocodile makes sure to drop in a few more-or-less subtle ‘compliments’ every now and then as well. And by subtle I mean you better listen closely to what he’s saying or you might miss it lol
eventually the pirate might get somewhat threatening again tho
not really in an aggressive manner or anything; but when he notices that his curiosity in you gets more intense, he’ll begin to drop hints that basically read like „you better be worth my interest or else“
but we know that Crocodile is also prime daddy material so it shouldn't come as a suprise that he'll express his interest by sending you a special letter with an invitation to a highclass restaurant after your (successful) little flirt. Consider it your ‘reward’ for entertaining him....
not even a second after Kid first sees you he’s already on his way and tries to get as physically close as possible
“swiggity swooty he’s coming for your booty”
honestly his way of flirting... if you can even call it flirting almost borders on harassment lol
because this man has 0 respect for privacy or personal space whatsoever. If he likes what he sees he’s willing to do just about anything to guarantee that you’ll be his by the end of the day
while he’s preparing his ‘courtship ritual’ Kid also makes sure to assert his dominance by scaring off anyone that might seem interested in you as well. He needs this stage all to himself, that much is sure
unfortunately though the pirate’s a bit of a clumsy flirt (but it’s hard to notice since he usually makes up for it with the immense confidence he radiates). In fact Kid doesn't even bother asking for your name, instead he immediately starts calling you by obnoxious nicknames he made up
it’s honestly exactly the type of flirting you would expect from someone like him- loud, raunchy, and pretty darn shameless
but dear god if you actually respond positively to his wild flirt attempts... his last two brain cells are gonna jump ship. Dare to interfere with his one-man-show and he doesn't know what to do and starts stumbling over his words
the previously over-confident facade drops within seconds as the pirate is reduced to a gaping mess for a few seconds
...but luckily Kid quickly manages to compose himself again, and his cocky behaviour is fully back on when the extra confident boost from your openly displayed interest sets in
hell yeah he’s gonna score tonight
