Author's Note: This was a request from tumblr. The pairing was Sabolu and the sentence was "There isn't a word in the dictionary for how good you look". Lololol so here we go on towards the Sabo fail-I mean towards the story. :). I have already warned you all multiple times of language and implied content but yeah, doing it again. Read at your own risk kind of crap. This doesn't have smut, k goodbye.


There he was. Okay, this was going to happen. They were finally alone for a while on the ship. Sabo was seriously going to do it and everything would go as planned and it'd be fine. No crew to interrupt, no work. He wasn't over thinking at all. He had everything under control. He approached Luffy who was sitting on the floor munching on some carrot sticks as he looked through a book—a book?

It piqued his curiosity and he asked, "Hey Lu. What are you reading?"

Luffy turned to grin at Sabo showing him the random pictures of—wait—of himself? What the heck? When did those happen? How? He really couldn't recall.

Sabo's jaw dropped.

"Where the heck did you get those?! How does this exist?! Wow I actually look pretty photogenic here." Sabo said completely shocked as he kept staring at the photos because he honestly didn't see Luffy as the paparazzi type aside from the fact that some of those had Luffy in them.

"Photowhatta?" Luffy asked completely forgetting about the previous question because that word actually sounded really funny to him and it caught his attention.

Sabo chuckled. "Photogenic. It's when you actually look really good in photos."

"But Sabo looks good all the time shishishi. Don't need a camera for that."

Sabo lightly smiled at the comment completely forgetting about his previous thought as well and Luffy grinned back at him. He was the one trying to be smooth but Luffy did it with no problem. How frustrating. It was the perfect chance for him though, seeing as they were making eye contact. It was worth a shot. He leaned in closer to Luffy.

"There isn't a word in the dictionary for how good you look," Sabo said in an attempt at seduction.

Luffy blinked back at him with his owl like stare a few times and Sabo swore he heard crickets in the background.

"Why would you need a dictionary to tell someone they look good?" Luffy tilted his head.

Sabo facepalmed.

"It just means that there's no way to really explain how good you look to me, Lu."

"But you just said it."

"No—you don't get it. Good doesn't explain what I'm trying to say."

"What's wrong with good?" Luffy asked curiously.

"It's not good enough!"

"I think good's good." Luffy said happily content with his words.

It was starting to not even be a word anymore.

"I-I'm trying to say you look—gooder than good."

Gooder? He really was at a loss for words if he was using nonexistent vocabulary.

"Sounds good." Luffy replied.

Sabo sighed thinking of possibly another line. He growled to himself. Luffy wondered why the heck Sabo was making things harder than they were.

"I'd rearrange the alphabet and put U and I together."

Luffy blinked again. "Why?"

Sabo looked back at Luffy this time giving him a 'Well isn't it obvious' look, but he clearly didn't get it and maybe he wasn't actually being as obvious as a human being could get.

"So we'd be together, Lu."

"We're already together," Luffy replied giving Sabo a questioning look.

"Yes but I want to be more together."

Sabo started feeling the frustration catch up to him. Why was it so damn hard?! Why was Luffy making this harder?!

"Oh! I know what Sabo means now. Should have just said so!"

Was this it? Was Luffy finally catching on?!

Yes!

Sabo felt a sudden weight over his shoulders and back as Luffy clung onto him.

No…

Why?

"…What are you doing, Lu?"

"Piggyback ride!~ We're closer now! Shishishi~"

As frustrated as he was Luffy still looked like he was having a good time, but then again, Luffy always somehow had a good time. He couldn't help but smile in defeat.

"You know, when I imagined you riding me, this isn't what I had in mind, honestly."

At that moment the door swung open and it was none other than Koala. She had heard the last line Sabo said as she walked over and busted in with a worried look.

"What kind of kinky shit are you two doing here?" She asked as she saw Luffy clung onto Sabo's back. Though truth be told even if they were screwing it was Luffy's ship. She was simply on there because she had returned from her trip to town.

Sabo instantly replied with an, "I wish" as he looked at her.

"Faster!" Luffy yelled out impatiently.

"The times I've longed for you to say that and now I'm saddened by the reality of it all," Sabo sighed.

"More! More!"

Sabo stopped moving around as Luffy angrily pouted.

"Sabo isn't as good as Ace at this." Luffy stated as he got off Sabo and wandered off to the other side of the room.

Well that one stung. He kicked him while he was already down.

"My pride. My dreams. My every desire. Trodded on so brutally, as if 12 lonely years weren't enough."

Hey… you had us you jerk was what Koala would have said but even she knew that Sabo really did care about everything involving Luffy.

Koala patted him on the back. "There, there. At least you're looking good!" She handed him the photo book.

"I swear if I wasn't in here and I was hearing this from another room I'd totally be thinking that Luffy made you cry while getting screwed."

"Can't even seduce him, let alone get screwed, the story of my life."

"Now now! Don't be a baby." She smacked him playfully.

Sabo pouted. "I'm not."

Koala looked over at Luffy who suddenly started messing with the beetle he had caught the other day in a jar.

"Hey Luffy, " Koala called out.

"Yeah?" Luffy responded still tilting the jar looking at the beetle in amazement.

"Sabo just wants to get screwed by you."

Luffy grinned. "Got a screwdriver?" He said as he turned around to face them from across the room.

Sabo looked over to his friend, "Yeah that's not going to work, Koala."

She narrowed her eyes. Koala figured she had to be more literal than usual.

"He wants you to fuck him." She said bluntly.

"I gotta find a stick!"

Koala put a hand on her hip looking over at Sabo as she raised an eyebrow.

"Told him that fuck meant hit to avoid other explanations."

"Use your own stick. You have a penis right?" She gestured to Luffy.

"KOALA! HE'S GOING TO HIT ME WITH HIS!"

She laughed uncontrollably unable to contain it. It turned out more humorous than she expected. She already knew her friend sucked at wooing Luffy. Instead of helping him she was teaming up against him.

"Do you want me to inflate it?" Luffy said cheerfully.

"Woah, you can do that?"

Luffy nodded.

She was intrigued. Sabo was horrified at the conversation and sudden team up of those two. He needed to just say what he needed to say. Sabo did not want further consequences of those two spending more time together.

"Lu, I want to have sex with you."

"Hmm? Oh, sure." Luffy said with zero sign of hesitation, almost like he expected it.

Had Luffy been messing with him the whole time…? Sabo's eyes widened and his jaw dropped. Koala laughed once more highly amused at the bluntness.

"That wasn't so bad. See~? I totally made things better. You owe me for this and the picture book!" She teased.

Sabo narrowed his eyes. He had to admit that they really were good pictures of him smiling, but the reasons for those smiles were because of Luffy. So maybe his pickup lines on Luffy would never ever work but he had hoped someday they would? Maybe one day he'd find the perfect explanation for them too. Yeah right.

"How the hell did you take them anyway? If I didn't catch you then he must have seen you at some point taking them."

"Oh yeah, he totally knew. I told him to keep it between us." Koala winked.

"How?! He can't lie!"

"I was going to tell Sabo about them but then you were talking about being photowhatever. Koala gave me good treats though! Shishishi!~"

"Photogenic, Lu."

Of course Koala would use food. Damn him and wanting to seduce Luffy out of all people too.

"Ah okay that." Luffy giggled, "Plus I like Sabo's pictures he looks really happy".

"You so owe me!~" Koala teased more.

As for Sabo finally getting what he wanted, well, he got it one way or another but having Koala involved along with Luffy's friends, especially when it came to getting laid, he would rather not have had that become a routine. It did become a routine though, because when it came to Monkey D. Luffy there was never any shame.

"I can show Sabo later how it's supposed to be done." Luffy whispered to Sabo with a mischievous smile.

Whether or not Luffy knew his intentions all along didn't matter anymore. With just those words Sabo was gone.


End Note: Ah yeah, so hi people. It's been a while. I was taking a good break from writing for these three. I think I'm still on a mini break though. I'll post whenever I get hit by weird inspiration. I'm mediocre at best so thank you for sticking with me to whoever reads these things.
