This is my first ReaderXMihawk fic, I absolutly love this pairing and think more should be made but as I found out it is quite hadr to come up with ideas for it I had a bit of writers block and I had to make sure I didn't follow anyone else's story line.
The sun peeked through the tall trees, making dappled spots appear all over the forest floor. Summer had come leaving spring a long forgotten memory.
It would not be much longer, you would not have to wait long. Soon the dreaded 'pirate season' as the villagers called it, would arrive
It was the time of year when pirates visited most frequently, coming to buy goods from the middle sized village. Being a seamstress you did not have to have very much contact with the pirates, but there were some occasions where you had face to face dealings.
You thought back to the previous year and the money which you had made by personally making the clothes for the infamous Red Haired Shanks' crew. He had waltzed into your small shop and politely asked you to make his men fitted clothes within three weeks, throwing you a bag of money.
You had worked flat strap, but in the end it had payed off, earning you a lifelong friendship with Shanks and his men.
Over the next part of the year they visited you frequently, asking for patch-ups and on some occasions new outfits. You had come you value their fleeting visits and found yourself eagerly awaiting their next visit.
You wondered weather or not Shanks would visit this year, you truly hoped so, You had even started on new clothing for him and his crew based on previous measurements you had taken.
You brushed your windswept hair from your eyes and continued surveying the forest around you. Coming down to the forest and relaxing in the calming atmosphere gave you inspiration for creating new garments. It also helped you get away from the busy bustling of the village and calm your nerves
Although you looked forward to the pirate season, since it was a chance for you to earn your keep, you also felt anxious and a tiny bit scared. Pirate seaon usually ran smoothly both pirates and villagers working together to get what they wanted, but sometimes fights broke out, someone getting hurt most of the time being the villager.
It was also a well-known fact to never go anywhere by yourself while they were here. It was true that while they were staying at the village the pirates were very well mannered, the male pirates could occasionally get rowdy and start to push themselves onto the female villagers.
Rape had never occurred however. If the males started getting to boisterous and frisky, their female counterparts would give them a good sound whack across the back of the head, cutting them down to size.
You sigh and make your way back towards home thinking of all the new designs you could make into garments. Thinking about rowdy pirates had made the hairs on the back of your neck stand up on end and make you paranoid about being stalked, you could swear someone was following you. Suddenly remembering the fact that you were far from the village and alone you started to pick up your pace.
RUSTLE
You froze when a medium sized bush to your right started to move. Peering cautiously over the bush you find that your stalker was only a small forest mouse.
Feeling light headed with adrenaline, and still getting vibes that someone was watching you. Your imaginings of unruly pirates had put you on edge and you decided you would run the rest of the way home or at least to the start of the village, just to be safe.
You reach the village sweaty and out of breath. You hated how easy you were frightened and intimidated but that was not a trait that you would lose over night. You prefered to take the safe side of things, better to be safe than sorry was your number one moto. It had earned you nicknames of coward in the past but you had simply replied that you were neither going to be a pirate or a navy women so it was alright for you to take the safer roads.
Walking to the other side of the village you look down at the docks, you feel a radiant smile grace your face and a giddy feeling spread from your head to your toes, replacing your previous feeling of dread.
Down at the docks a large ship had just landed and docked, releasing it's fun loving crew from it's strong safe hold.
The crew was that of none other than Shanks. They had come early this year.
You were about to run down to greet them when you saw a man from a small coffin like boat step onto the dock.
He had a strong and demanding physique and a dominating aura. He was quite handsome with black hair and facial hair, but the most outstanding feature was his eyes, golden in colour they looked like that of a predatory bird.
You felt your stomach muscles clench an a tipsy feeling float to the surface of you head, it was all you could do to stop your knees from buckling.
You were about to turn and flee when a large hand gripped your shoulder making you jump in fright.
"Where are you off to?" You looked up into the smiling face of Shanks "I brought a friend for you to meet" You gave him a hesitant smile
'damn I was too slow! I thought i could get away without him noticing, I don't like the look of that guy'
"His name is Mihawk" Shanks introduced you Mihawk inclined his head towards you while you held out your hand for him to shake
You waited about two minutes for him to shake your hand with no success "Well are you going to shake my hand?" You demanded. He smirked at you and then gripped your hand in a firm hold, just from that shake of his hand you could tell that he was a powerful man, you suspected that was what he wanted you to think, he definitely had a very dominant personality. "It's nice to meet you Mr Mihawk" You greeted as pleasant ass you could trying to hide you fear of the man, and was it just you or did he hold your hand for too long
"The pleasure is all mine" He said raising your hand to his lips making you go a light shade of pink. He was smooth and you couldn't help but feel attracted to him. He was dangerous and that made you weary.
"Do you have a place to stay?" You asked this time including Shanks and his crew as well "Because I can try and fit you all in at my place"
" We are right lass, we have the ship, but Mihawk could use a room since he only has a tiny boat" You saw a mischievous glint in the pirate captains eyes and couldn't help but wonder what he was up to, whatever it was it couldn't be good.
"Sure I have room" You said smiling slightly at Mihawk you didn't like this at all, but you couldn't offer and then take it back, so it looked like you had a visitor for the night.
