"Hey Buggy." Shanks greeted with a smile. Crocus had released him from the medical bay, but insisted that the boy keep off of his feet as much as possible, going so far as to order Buggy to bring the Flashy Redhead his meals.
"Dinner." Buggy said shortly and dropped the loaded tray onto Shanks' lap.
"Thanks." The redhead picked up his fork and began to dig in. Buggy was obviously upset with him, but if the clown didn't want to talk about it Shanks wouldn't make him.
"You're an idiot." Buggy told him sharply, and then he flopped into his hammock so Shanks couldn't see his face.
Shanks sighed, and tried to eat his dinner quietly. Ever since the fight with Mihawk Buggy had been angry and distant.
"Buggy, just tell me what's wrong." Shanks finally broke the tense silence.
"You! That flashy freaky-eyed bastard!" Buggy screamed in a rage, turning from the wall to glare at the redhead.
"Me and Mihawk?" Shanks asked, confused. "Did the fight upset you that much?"
"Do you even realize why I'm angry?" Buggy groaned.
"Nope." Shanks admitted freely. "But if you tell me I'm sure we can work it out."
"That flashy-eyed bastard was looking at you like the Captain looks at a piece of meat!"
"What?" Shanks was taken aback. "Mihawk just wanted a good fight. It's nice to have a strong rival.
"You moron! He wants in your pants!" Buggy face palmed. "You didn't see that?"
"…Really?"
"Really. You're sexy and more people look at you than I can count." Buggy explained, still somewhat angry, but he did feel slightly better that Shanks didn't think of Mihawk like that.
"You think I'm sexy?" Shanks asked sneakily, putting his unfinished tray down, and standing up, despite Crocus' orders.
"You are sexy." Buggy muttered, not liking the gleam in Shanks' eyes.
"I think you're sexy too." Shanks told him before he kissed the other boy.
Maybe someday Mihawk would succeed in seducing Shanks away, but for today, he belonged entirely to Buggy.
