So guys! I hope you all are having or did have a wonderful holiday! I go back to class on the 5th and I have a little extra time, so I thought I would do another drabble for you all to read, another longish one. Heads up, Delta still has her home in this and this one isn't going to follow the original story line either, but I will be adding another character.
Oh and btw, if you have any drabble requests for Delta and Killer, like scenarios or what not to put them in, please feel free to let me know in a private message or in the reviews! I would love some ideas as I am still having a bit of a block (Ok a big block. I need a big break to refresh my ideas for the original story lol) But until then, I will be doing these drabbles every now and again because they are super fun and I think yo guys might enjoy them
So heeere we go!
Delta lay sprawled out on her living room floor. She let out a bored groan and closed her eyes. She felt nothing but hot. It was the middle of summer, and even at 10 am it was burning up. It had to be about 80 degrees out already. Delta cracked a small smile when her AC turned on by itself and slowly started to cool down the room.
As usual she didn't have much planned for the day, except to run around town with Nami and do girly things. Ever since she left home she hadn't had much luck on making friends with girls, or friends in general really, so Delta was relieved when she met the fellow female pirate and they actually hit it off. For her Nami was the perfect friend to do all sorts of girly things with, but who also wasn't afraid to get messy.
Of course Captain Kid wasn't too fond of their friendship, Nami being from a rival crew. Or what Kid considered to be rival. None of them had officially met yet, but Kid being Kid didn't appreciate Delta paling around with a Strawhat member..unless it was to get info on them. But Delta didn't care, she knew Kid really didn't mind, he was just being sour as usual for him.
Delta heard a light knock on her door and sprang up excitedly at the sound. She padded quickly to the door and barely able to contain her excitement, flung it open.
"You're awake!" Nami clapped her hands together with joy.
"Yesterday I practically had to drag you out of bed" Nami stated while fluttering her eyes and putting her hands on her hips.
"I told you I had a late night" Delta pouted in response.
"Pffft. Excuses excuses. Let's go!" Nami bounded off down the sidewalk. Delta snatched her bag from the small table by the door, locked the place up and raced after her new friend.
Once they reached the pathway in the town, they both slowed down and fell into step with each other.
"So Delta" Nami started. Flicking her hair as she began a conversation.
"Do you have any plans for tonight?"
"Uh..no why?" Delta raised her eyebrow questioningly.
"Are you sure? You seemed really excited about something really early this morning when you called me." Nami frowned.
Delta ran her hand through her brown hair in confusion.
"Nami I don't remember calling you…" She trailed off as one of the now opening shops caught her eye.
"Well you did and you sounded really out of it, but you specifically said "You won't believe what I have planned for tomorrow night!" " Nami said mimicking Delta's voice very poorly.
Delta stopped at the door to the store and gave Nami a questioning look.
"Did I SERIOUSLY call you last night? Like, your not joking?" Delta cracked a smile in disbelief.
Nami rolled her eyes.
"Uh..yeah woman. You did call me. Remember? You had to cut things with us short yesterday because you had to help the rest of your crew mates with stocking...then I'm assuming something happened in between then because you called me giggling like a schoolgirl...I'm pretty sure you were a teeeeeeny bit drunk." Nami gave Delta a devious smile.
Delta placed her hands on the glass doors of the shop, slightly frustrated. What could she not be remembering? What was she forgetting?
"Well if it helps, you were mumbling something about that weird creepy guy that's always with Kid….the one with the blue mask..what's his name...Murderer or something.." Nami trailed off.
"Oh my god Nami, it's Killer.." Delta mumbled shaking her head. Then her eyes shot open.
"OH MY GOD, NAMI! " Delta screeched and grabbed a handful of her hair with both hands.
"Huh" Nami turned her head towards the shorter girl.
"Oh god..oh no...oh shit oh shit oh shit!" Delta shrieked. Passersby's gave the two girls strange looks and hurried off not wanting to get involved.
"God Delta! What is it?" Nami snapped at her, curious as to why her friend was now pacing the concrete screaming at the air.
"I remember now…" Delta wailed.
"God...uh...well..I guess late last night after putting all the new stuff away, we all drank a bit. Ok, drank a lot… but at some point Killer asked me.." Delta gulped having a hard time repeating the words.
"ASKED YOU WHAT?" Nami waved her hands at Delta urging her to speak.
"He asked me to go on a date with him. But I was so drunk I forgot, and he was so drunk that I don't even think he was serious Nami."
Nami clamped her hands together and gasped.
"Delta that's so great!"
"No, it's not!" Delta held her head in her hands still walking around hurriedly but somehow managing to avoid running into people during her panic.
"What? I thought you liked him?! I mean he's scary, doesn't talk, you can't even see the guys face, and I'm pretty sure he's a mass mur-"
"Nami" Delta cut off her friends rant.
" I do like him a lot. But I think he asked me by mistake...I doubt he would have been serious." Delta shrugged sadly.
"Well, I don't know much about the guy but from what I've heard from you and what little I've seen he is interested in you." Nami smiled.
Delta groaned and slid down against the wall of the shop, plopping down on the ground.
"Well lets do this then." Nami sat down next to Delta.
"We will get you ready for a PROPER date..." Nami put emphasis on the word proper.
"And...well if it doesn't happen, come by our ship. I'm sure there's some late night thing we can do together. Besides everyone likes you there and no one else has to know you were spending time with us." Nami shrugged.
Delta twisted her lip and nodded. She was hopeful about the date with Killer, but she was sure her night would end up being the latter option. She was prepared for the worst.
"Ok" she simply replied to Nami.
"Alright! Let's go find you something to wear!" Nami pulled Delta up by the arm and finally raced into the shop they were loitering by for so long.
"Ok lets see it" Nami beckoned her hand at Delta. After a day of somewhat stressful shopping and primping, they were finally back at Delta's place, preparing her for the evening
"I'm scared…" Delta whispered from her closed bathroom.
"Look, I'm sure you will be fine." Nami rested her elbow on the wall by the door.
"Ugh fine" Delta grumbled and opened the door.
Nami shot her head up, and once again clamped her hands together, gasping.
"Delta! You look amazing!" She whispered loudly.
Delta grinned uncomfortably and brushed her bangs out of her face. She was wearing a light aqua fitted dress that complimented her skin tone and that Nami helped her pick out. Her shoes were simple, black in color with a medium heel. Nami had helped Delta slightly loosen her dark curly hair so that her black low-lights that were usually not visible showed up, and so her hair trailed down to her collarbone.
"Delta you look beautiful" Nami commented in a serious tone.
"Ah..thank you: Delta shrugged nervously running her hand through her hair.
"Who knew someone so cute and short would be hiding such a curvaceous body! You should show it off more! Wait, now I'm sounding like Sanji" Nami muttered to herself. Delta scoffed nervously, still getting used to the dress and Nami's compliments..
"Oh wait!" Nami's face lit up. She reached for her right hand and took off her log pose.
"It's not really jewelry, but I think it can be for tonight" She grinned while putting the navigational bracelet on Delta's wrist.
"Oh, wait are you sure?" Delta asked surprised.
"Yeah yeah, just give it back tomorrow." Nami nodded.
"Thank you so much Nami, I don't think I would have been able to pull this off without you." Delta grabbed her friend into a hug.
" Nahhh it's no big deal!" Nami returned the hug.
"Now, do you know if he said he was coming here, or did he want you to go back to the ship?"
Delta's eyes shot open wide.
"I have no idea. I guess I'll go to the ship. I'll run into him at some point." Delta replied.
"Alright then. Just remember what I said, if things don't go as planned, come have some fun with us!" Nami winked and headed towards the door.
"Yeah…" Delta agreed, not wanting to think about getting her hopes up for nothing.
"See-ya!" Nami waved and bolted out the door, leaving Delta alone.
Delta was out on the same streets she walked daily. But this time she was dressed very different. And in the brilliant blue dress she stood out like a sore thumb. If it were up to her she would have picked the black dress , or at least the charcoal one, but Nami would not have it. Delta had taken another several looks in the mirror before she left, and she did have to agree with Nami, she looked great. But she was so used to being on the down-low and not attracting attention, it felt weird to stand out. Ever since she left her home, that's how she had wanted it anyways, to be a wallflower. But not today. She had already received several compliments from store owners she saw every day. Some compliments and some scoffs from several women, and plenty of stares from men she was not familiar with. Most were probably marines or fellow pirates, but she just sped through them before they could try to start a conversation. Delta wasn't even sure if she could hold one anyways she was so nervous. She was still convinced Killer had asked her on mistake, being in a drunken stupor the night before and she was sure he had forgotten. It was already almost 7 at night and she hadn't heard from the guy or seen him. She wondered why he would bother with her anyway. Typically pirates were about one night stands, not getting into things with their crew members that they would have to see every day. And especially under Kid's influence, Delta was sure no one on that ship was the dating type anymore if they had been at one point.
Delta made it to the same old dock the ship had been ported at for weeks now. The water was now glistening in the early evening light and the sand almost shone golden in the setting sun. Delta took off her shoes so she could walk better in the sand, as the heels did her no justice. She stopped right before the ship and looked up at it quietly, listening. It was dead silent. Even when the guys were in their rooms, there was typically some sort of noise. But not today, they were probably all out drinking or god knows what by now. Delta sighed. She didn't see Killer on the way here, and he probably wasn't on the ship. And if he was then Delta was sure he had forgotten about what he asked her. Delta cursed herself silently wiping her watering eyes and turned to go back towards home. She should have known better, it was all a mistake. Delta blamed herself more than she blamed Killer for asking her in the first place. She paced slowly through the sand, taking her time to appreciate how cool it felt while trying to ignore her overwhelming sadness. She turned to her side to draw a half circle with her foot in the slightly damp sand when she was pushed to the side and knocked off balance.
"What the.." she mumbled trying to steady herself.
"Sorry." A familiar voice mumbled.
Delta looked up frowning to realize Killer was walking right past her, not giving her a second glance.
"HEY!" Delta snapped at him angrily. First he made plans, then he forgets, then he ignores her? The least he could do was acknowledge her.
Killer looked up, taking his hands out of his pockets. Even with his covered face, Delta could tell he was annoyed.
"What are you…" Delta trailed off not even sure how to confront the guy on what had just happened.
"Delta..is that you?" A confused voice came from behind the mask.
" Wow. Um I- I went to your house and I didn't find you. I-I thought you forgot so I was just going to come back here. how long have you been here? A-and you look...amazing, god.." Killer was actually stuttering. For a man of such little words he usually did find his words fine but for once, he was finding it difficult to speak.
"Um, I thought you forgot too." Delta started to regain her composure, smiling slightly at his loss for words. She found that kind of cute. Delta looked the blonde man over for a moment. He had traded in his black and white polka dot shirt ad frayed pants in for a plain black button down shirt and a dark blue pair of jeans. Or were they black too? Delta couldn't even tell or didn't care, she thought he looked great.
Killer walked forward towards Delta and held out his hand to her. Delta took it cautiously, averting her eyes from him shyly. She could feel him still looking her over.
"Sorry last night wasn't too clear. I should have asked you at a better time. And I should have told you I would just get you from your house" Killer chuckled slightly.
"It's fine." Delta giggled lightly and held Killer's hands. His arm guards were off, which was shocking to her.
"Well..we should probably get going." Killer mentioned.
"Where are we going actually?" Delta questioned.
"It's a surprise, you'll find out when we get there" Killer pulled Delta forward playfully.
"Ughh fine" Delta rolled her eyes jokingly holding onto Killer's hand as they went back to town.
" Guess I won't be seeing you guys tonight Nami." Delta thought to herself, smiling widely.
