Hi, Please do 27 with Limejuice.
Thank you
First Limejuice work, I was eager to give him a try !
Scenario 28 (former 27) : "He's always frowning and you put your finger on the winkle between his eyebrows"
Limejuice x GN! Reader // Words : 750+ // (no beta reader)
Limejuice was frowning once again. It was a bad habit he’d developed through the years at sea according to his oldest fellow crewmates.
“He was always smiling back then. Maybe the insouciance. Or because we hadn’t reached Grand Line and its misadventures yet.”
It was the doctor’s answer when you asked about your crewmates’ opinion about the youngest officer’s frowning bad habit.
When you first joined the Red Pirates, you would always see him with that grumpy face and wondered if he had a problem with you. Soon you realised it was his casual face by watching him from afar. It helped you relax in his presence and not long after becoming closer by the intermediary of Hongo. Since you were one of the crew’s nurses, you had Hongo as direct officer. Your personalities matching, you spent time together outside of your duties, which brought you closer to the officers and so Limejuice.
You remembered the first time you interacted with him, without the intervention of your pears. Lime was on desk cleaning duty and complaining about his hair getting in the way. Obviously, he had his famous wrinkles between his eyebrows. He had already tried to tie it up in a ponytail or a bun, but slim strands kept falling back in his eyes.
“I might be able to help out.”
He was sceptical at first but the French braid he let you eventually do to him, free him of his trouble for the rest pd the day. When you finished, you let him watch over your job in a pocket mirror.
“Now that you won’t be bother anymore, loosen up.”
Both of you were surprised by your audacity to put a finger on his frown. You guessed you got lucky he was so astonished he didn’t say anything.
Sometimes he would come back to you to dress his hair, not very often but enough to attract everyone’s attention. Shanks started teasing him about that. And he had another reason to mess with him because you kept on pushing on his frown whenever you finished styling his hair. He did loosen every time and all his crewmates were positive he was relaxed for the whole day.
It so became a thing between you two that once you did it on another occasion. You were having a drink with the elite of the Red. You mostly paid attention to their conversation, barely participating, when you focused on Lime’s (once again) frowned eyebrows. You didn’t mind he was currently talking and pushed lightly the tip of your index on the wrinkles. He suddenly stopped talking and looked at you all blushing. Shanks and Yasopp, who were facing you at the table, busted out laughing, Lime yelling on them, even more frowning.
Maybe you shouldn’t do it anymore, after all…
“Can you do my hair?”
Limejuice had entered the infirmary where you were doing a stocktake of your medicines with Hongo. The doctor gave you a sign you could go. You followed the blond officer on the deck where he seated on a wooden box. You were quick to bread as per usual.
“I’m done.
- Thanks."
It was at that moment you would push gently on his frown, but you did not. You had turned around to go back to your task. Or you thought you were because Lime’s fingers grabbed the back of your shirt. You looked back at him questioningly.
“You didn’t…”
He didn’t finish the sentence but pointed at his forehead.
“After what happened the other day, I thought you wanted me to stop.”
Lime sighed and passed his hand in his neck, visibly embarrassed.
“It’s just that they keep teasing me about it…”
- What are you? 4?
- Tsk… I guess I acted like I was.
- Whatever. I’ll quite doing it, so you don’t get bully by the other kids.
- But I don’t want you to…”
The blush you witnessed on his face a few days prior was back. It made him prettier. But you decided it was better to keep it to yourself for the moment.
“So, you want me to do it?
- Yes, please.”
You held back a laugh at the cuteness of his reaction and moved closer. He had his eyes closed tightly, forming wrinkles on his forehead once more. You smoothly put your lips on it for Lime’s eyes to open wide. You didn’t wait any longer and turned back, a very satisfied smile on your mouth and a blush on your cheeks. But it was nothing compared to the blushing mess the young officer had turned into.
Now it was interesting.
