ㅤ What is this contraption? ㅤ

ㅤ I see. . . I’ve been clippin’ ‘em on my skin fer the last ten minutes. It’s fun. ㅤ

ㅤ I found ‘em just kinda lyin’ around! I’ve been fidgetin’ with ‘em for a long while now. They’re kinda fun to play with! I had no idea they were fer yer hair. . . ㅤ

ㅤ Ohh—-! ( His mouth makes an ‘o’ shape too. As if she had just shown him some universal truth too beautiful to behold before he begins to laugh. ) Yeah! Super cute, actually. It’s a shame that my hair’s too short fer it. ㅤ

ㅤ Hmm. . . Not really. I’ve come close whenever I’ve been alone fer a while, but never quite so long that my hair grows out. Dunno if it would really look good on me, though. ㅤ

//: the eternal struggle of wanting more threads but getting fatigued from making starters

ㅤ ( He can’t help but grin as he swiftly returns the kiss. Just for good measure, he pats her head and gifts her a peck on the forehead. ) Geez, flattery will get ya everywhere, Whiskers! Though, I’d bet that I wouldn’t be as cute as you! ㅤ

This really is the shounen way you love to see it

ㅤ Well. . . Is he going to answer? ㅤ

ㅤ “ Ah, so that’s what’s it’s fer. I’ve just been clampin’ it onto my skin fer a while. That would make a lot of sense. . . Thanks, Tora-O! ” ㅤ

ㅤ Pfft—-! ( He was about to laugh, but a rather rare sight comes into view when she plants those tiny kisses onto his chest. A pink hue takes residence onto his cheeks, so he smushes her own cheeks together with his hands. ) What’re ya doin’? ㅤ

ㅤ “ Ya think so? Even if my skin is all rubber? I had no idea these things were so fragile. . . No need to worry about Nami though, I just sort of found these lyin’ around. Nami would never just leave her things about. ” ㅤ

ㅤ ( The way she looks now is enough to put him over the edge again as he laughs. His gaze is so fond one would think he was looking at a once-in-a-lifetime sunset. ) I just didn’t expect ya to kiss me there, is all. ( Luffy releases her from his vice grip. ) ㅤ

ㅤ H’aaaah? ( Almost offended, he leand down and presses his forehead up against hers. He knows she’s just saying that, but. . . ) I didn’t say any of that now. Honestly I think it’s the opposite problem, silly. ㅤ

Who the hell are you?!

ㅤ Hey! Don’t treat it like it’s some kinda weakness! I can handle it, definitely! ( At the very least, if he can’t, he’s silently vowing to find a crack in her armor too. ) ㅤ

ㅤ ( He would’ve said ‘I know that look,’ but her confession was all he needed. There’s no false anger though, just a laugh as he leans in to see if they can lock their lips for a few seconds. ) Fine! Not sure what exactly you’d want to get out of it, though. ㅤ

ㅤ I was mentioned. ㅤ

ㅤ We do! It’s mostly Sanji baitin’ women into a kiss though, but it happens. ㅤ
