It all went too fast. One moment you're on your feet, mind in the battle like everyone else. When Luffy whips his head around, he sees an enemy with their weapon buried deep in your guts.
Luffy yelled your name and immediately ran to your side, as Zoro took care of the idiot who decided to hurt you.
Now, Luffy was scared.
He had a hook go through him back in Alabasta when he first fought Crocodile and he lost his brother to a punch through the chest.
But you aren't him. You don't have Luffy's regeneration powers. Well, at least as advanced as his. Even so, when you fell to your knees, clutching your chest, his heart dropped all the way to his feet.
"Luffy..." you choked, a small trail of blood at the corner of your mouth. The young man sat beside you, raising your top and looking at your wound, before checking your backside.
"I-It's okay! It's gonna be okay!" he noted, realizing that the blade didn't reach through the other end. But still, the battle was far from gone, and you most certainly needed medical treatment this instant.
And because the Straw Hats have split up this time, Chopper was with the others. "Luffy, am I gonna die?" you asked, watching his palm touch your wound, pressing hard on it.
"No..." it was a reflex to answer. He sure hoped he was right- no, he was right, you can't die. "I need to get someone!"
He got back up on his feet and saw a few charging foes towards you two. He punched them away, your blood smearing on them.
Then, he saw in the distance some townsfolk. They were from the village on this island. Luffy, in a desperate matter, just scooped you up and ran towards them. "Hey!" he yelled when he got closer.
The people raised their guns, since they planned to join the battle but you guys already had it under control. "Help my friend!" he said, watching you stare at him hopeful.
You were pretty cheeky towards most people. Seeing you feel so small, so afraid and so... Weak, just didn't feel right with Luffy.
A lumberjack stepped forward, holding his hands out. "I'll take her to safety." Now, this lumberjack was an outcast. And he was actually the first person who helped the Straw Hats on this island.
Told Robin about the legend of this ground, let Sanji use his kitchen to prepare lunch and gave Nami his nib since she lost hers and didn't have the berries to buy a high quality one like she liked.
And he never asked for anything back. Luffy nodded, gripping his hat and putting it on your head. "Stay strong." he whispered, watching the man run away with a few villagers after him.
So, Luffy returned to the battle, ready to end this faster. And he did. He let out his anger on the leader, beating him down.
When the other crew members had regrouped at the location, they immediately noticed that you were missing.
They all made their way to the town, where you were supposedly treated. When they walked in the small healing hut, you were on a bed, blanket high with his hat on your chest.
"She's fine. Just needs time to recover." the medic had explained. Luffy sat down beside your bed. As the healer and Chopper started bandaging up the rest, Luffy stood still on the seat, watching you.
And to be honest, most stared how calm he could be. In the mean time, Chopper had also taken a glance at your condition and confirmed that you're indeed all right.
But soon, Luffy's head dropped down, as he fell asleep. Though when he woke up, he was sitting on the bed you were supposed to be on.
He immediately jumped, placing his hat on, before exiting the small building only to see you on a haystack. Nami was beside you, Robin leaning on a fence next to you two.
You were still dressed in the patient pajama he saw you yesterday, the two women dressed also in fresh clothes. "Hey, you woke up!" you laughed, watching Luffy calm down.
"Thought you were already underground." he wiped a sweat of his forehead. At his words, Nami gave him a smack before lecturing him about not knowing when to speak his mind.
I mean, yeah. You gave everyone quite a scare, but now you're fine. Suddenly, you got to your feet and caught their attention. "Look at this!" you smirked, raising your shirt to reveal your wrapped abdomen.
"So cool!" he said, watching you show off your bandages. They were colorful and in funny patterns. The doctor had explained you that he had to use childish wraps made for kids to cheer them up, since he didn't have enough white gauzes.
After some small talk, Robin left to get more information about the island and Nami went to check on your supplies, leaving you alone with the captain.
"You know what I learned from this whole thing?" you asked. You sat yourself back down on the haystack and Luffy plopped down on the ground, sitting crisscrossed. "Hm?" He hummed, watching you take a deep breath.
"I gotta train harder. And I will. I already made myself a schedule. Wake up at 5 in the morning, run one hundred laps around the ship, then have breakfast—" You began listing, as Luffy frowned.
You expected him to be happy in your change of program. "You won't." he laughed. You both knew you couldn't do all that, but still. You had to try.
"Shut it!" you pouted, embarrassed. "I'm going to stick to a good routine to get in shape." you explained, as he cackled even harder.
You narrowed your eyes and crossed your arms, waiting for him to finish. "You done?" you questioned, lips pressing in a thin line as Luffy wiped a tear from his left eye.
"You won't need all that! I'll protect you." he grinned, as you raised an eyebrow. "Fine, but what if you're away? What then?" you tilted your head.
"I'll come and save you." he answered. "But what if we split up again and you're in a fight yourself?" you insisted. "Then I will be with the group you are with."
"Luffy, what if-"
"How about we go and eat somethin'? I'm hungry." He gripped your hand, taking you with him in town. "I'm not hungry. I told you I'm sticking to a diet to gain muscle."
"Meat is muscle, so we'll go eat meat!" Luffy grinned. "Luffy!" you whined, as he continued pulling you after him.
"Come on, it's been some time since I spent some time with my favorite girl!" he hummed, as you looked at him. "Favorite girl?"
"Yeah! What's to it— look a grill!" he dragged you towards the said location, and you let yourself follow him.
# a/n - i'm currently making a masterlist; it’s in my drafts— and i’m planning to post it after i create more content; does this count as a drabble or one-shot, because i think for now i've only made drabbles🤔🤔
summary: After a horrible day, you can finally relax in your soft bed, with your not-so-soft boyfriend beside you.
-> based on this request
You were tired. Running around Victoria Punk all day wasn’t easy. You had a horrible day, and you felt like you went on autopilot for a few hours now. Not to mention, all the stress you gathered these past few weeks weren’t helping.
Nobody asked you anything they didn’t need to. Your eyebags were darker than the night, you drank coffee like it was water and just had your first meal of the day— despite it being almost midnight.
The reason of this spectacular day wasn’t anything special. A sea king bit into Victoria Punk’s ass, and it was chaos. Kid was raging, and maybe it was the lack of everything in your body that made you see his face match his hair for a beat, skin almost as red as his flame shaped locks.
The hole was patched and you ate reheated sea king stew or something like that. So, it was okay. Now, the only thing you had to do is to take a bath and finally lay your head on a pillow— or even better, your boyfriend’s chest.
The best lullaby definitely is his determined heartbeat, the steady and strong rhythm. You felt a shiver tingle your heart, the thought alone making your legs want to give out and sleep on the floor of the hallway. Now, you could only hope that he was willing to join you before you fell asleep.
You entered his workshop and saw Kid at his desk. You knew the look he was sporting, he was definitely mad. “Kid?” you asked, but he didn’t look up from his blueprints.
“Hey, I’m gonna take a bath and head to sleep. Wanna join me?” you suggested. He finally raised his head, eyes narrow. “You’re an idiot!” he snapped.
“What?” you furrowed your eyebrows. You usually would just brush of his snippy nature and deal with him patiently. You understood that he’s quick to anger, but right now? You didn’t have the energy to do so.
“Why didn’t you eat anything until damn midnight?! You look like an old hag! I know you drank coffee to fill that starving stomach of yours!” he watched you press your lips in a thin line, before you massaged your temples.
“Yeah, I know. It’s just that today was chaos. Y’know I never skip breaks.” you explained, but he clicked his tongue in that arrogant way, his eyes never leaving your exhausted ones. “I’m gonna take a bath.” you added, turning to the door.
“Damn that bath. You need sleep, woman.” he spoke, heavy steps filling the room as he manhandled you on his shoulder, walking towards your shared room.
“Kid, I stink!” you whined, but let yourself melt on your boyfriend. He was so warm, and so, so cuddly. Who didn’t want a big, hot and caring man to sleep with? Well, Kid isn’t heartless— he is caring in his own, quiet and harsh way.
“Ya can take a bath tomorrow.” he answered, kicking the door open as he placed you down on the bed. He threw your pajamas on your face, as he changed in something more comfortable for you to snuggle up into. No top and some casual trousers.
When you were both changed, Kid sat down and let you cuddle up to him. He flicked his wrist and you heard the metal lock of the door click, you assumed that he didn’t want anyone to disturb you two.
Your sore muscles finally relaxed, ear pressed on Kid’s heart. Like mentioned before, his steady heartbeat soothed your mind, and he calmed you so much despite not doing anything beside just being— and that was more than enough right now.
“Why are you so damn hard on yourself? You’re not a rock— and even a rock breaks under too much pressure.” he laid his heavy palm on your back.
“There are days when I can relax all day, and days like today." you asnwered, earning an eyeroll. “There are 30 freaking people on this ship, you can’t tell me that you weren’t able to take a few minutes to breathe.”
"You're acting like everyone was relaxing while I was the only one who did something. And it wasn't like that— some didn't get a break either." you reasoned, but he scoffed.
"Tomorrow you're having a day off. Dare to lift a finger and you're getting time-out like a spoiled brat." he ordered. You looked up to meet his amber eyes, cocking an eyebrow. "Time-out? What does that even mean?"
"It means you aren't going to do anything until I say otherwise. Obey your captain or suffer the consequences." he said, earning a laugh from you. Even though you knew you shouldn't snicker at his words.
"I don't know if I can enjoy a day off without you. Why don't we both stay in bed and nap all day?" you offered, straddling him. "I can't." he stated.
"Then why should I? Come on, please. It's not the same without my soulmate, my only and favorite man." you pouted, hands resting on his shoulders. "Lay the fuck dow." he pushed you, well, as gently as he could back on the mattres, hooking one of your legs around his waist.
"I'm the captain of this ship. I'm not like that stupid straw-hat monkey, I can't just miss a day because you're bored alone. I'll send crap to entertain you if you want." he began massaging your leg, easing all the tension from sitting on your feet all day.
"Then just say you don't wanna spend time with me." you pouted "How can I relax without knowing what's going on this ship? Are you insane, woman?" he scrunched his eyebrows, confused at your deduction.
"Such a mean boyfriend." you spun on your side, watching the dark night out the small window. Kid stood still for a beat, debating whether to give in and let you have your way or not.
"Screw you." he turned on his side and gripped your hip, pulling you in his chest. "I'll sleep in, then I'm off to do my stuff. That or nothin'." he offered, and you smiled, relaxing.
"Sounds like a good idea. Tomorrow you'll leave the bed late, and the next time you will have a free day with me." your grin deepened, but faltered when you heard a scoff. "As if."
"Y'think you will ever work yourself again like today? I'll personally make sure you aren't going to overwork yourself. Hear me?" he gripped you firmly, spooning you.
"What, you thought I'll pass out or what? I can handle my chores, y'know?" you laughed, turning around a leaving a kiss on his pec. He didn't answer, just let out an annoyed sigh after a long moment. You snuggled into his chest, and he let you get comfortable as slumber began corrupting you.
“I love you.” you said, eyes dripping down. “Thank you for caring.” you continued, pressing a few kisses on his breast around his heart.
“I love you too.”
# a/n - hello guys🫶 it’s been so long since i’ve last entered this damn app, and i’m so sorry for my absence. i’ve been in a really bad place recently, and i needed some time to breathe and sort out my mind. now that i’m back, i’m ready to post some drafts and get back on the right track with everything i can manage. it’s definitely not one of my best works, but i hope y’all enjoy this🤍
You were currently on your side, Luffy’s head buried in your chest. Your legs were tangled and your arms wrapped around each other, with the blanket on the floor.
“Luffy, you said that an hour ago!” you massaged his scalp, trying to wake him up. “Keep doin’ that…” he purred, pressing you further into him.
“You’re insufferable.” you pouted, moving your hand further down his bare back. Your touch made him shiver, earning a displeased sound from your boyfriend.
You yawned, turning your back towards Luffy as you reached for your book. “Wha’cha doin’?” he asked climbing up on you to see what were up to.
This position now sure was… Awkward. You on your side, reaching for the book that was now on the floor, with Luffy sitting like a slope on you, his legs dangling down while his chin— that was resting on your shoulder— held him up on the bed.
“Trying to get my book.” you sighed, feeling Luffy’s hand travel up, before stretching and patting the ground. He found it and pulled himself back, handing it to you.
“Read f’me?” he asked, flipping you two to reach a comfortable position. He got you on your back, as he sat between your legs, his head on your stomach.
“Sure.” you cleared your throat, as you rested the book on Luffy’s head. You started reading out loud, lulling Luffy to sleep.
He soon started snoring, and you stopped talking— just enjoying the content of the book in your mind. As the time passed, Luffy still wasn’t feeling like getting up.
And to your surprise, he didn’t even move. Usually when he slept, he would’ve woken up in the opposite position of the one he fell asleep in.
You took in how peaceful Luffy could be. He wasn’t moving so much, just his chest slowly pulsing in a steady rhythm. His black hair was sticking out in at least ten directions.
Droll was dripping down his chin on your shirt, as you watched his back. He had small cuts, scars from travels and childhood. And a few smudges of lipstick when you decided to tease him some time ago.
Why are they still there? Didn’t he wash them off? Anyway, you even finished your book. And decided to play with Luffy’s hair.
At the same time, you watched some of your crew members walk past. First, it was Nami, yelling at Usopp about not finding her hair brush.
Then it was Zoro, given by his slow and heavy steps, probably going to the bathroom. After that, it was a series of yelling between the swordsman and the cook— arguing about who could use the restroom first; Robin went ahead.
And last, it was Chopper, mumbling something about wanting to be in charge since Luffy is sleeping in. You then realized that you to had to get up. So you did.
You slowly walked towards the closet, tripping over one of Luffy’s flip-flops. Grabbed something to wear for the day, all while Luffy was still around you.
His arms stretched out as he sat on the bed, not moving an inch. “Luffy, wake up!” you tugged on his arms, unclasping them. But they immediately gripped your waist and pulled you back into him.
Now, he was sitting up, and he was holding you into him. Legs wrapped around you, as be began sniffing you. “Do I smell bad?” you asked.
“Nah. Just missed ya.” he leaned back, ready to get back to bed. “Luffy, it’s noon. We have to get up and ready for the day. We already missed breakfast and—“ he immediately got to his feet, desperately searching for a clean shirt.
“Where’s my hat?!” he asked, frantically looking around. “On the nightstand.” you said, as he grabbed it, kissed your cheek and ran towards the door. “Sanji, breakfast! Now!” he shouted.
# a/n - okayyyy, this is a little rushed and i posted it later then i wanted to; i’m working on the navigation post and will probably post it tomorrow, i’ve got so many things to do and everything’s piling up on top of each other. not to mention, i might be allergic to something in the air and it’s really holding me down. anyway, hope y’all are doing great and hope y’all enjoy this small drabble!!
