Luffy bounced up and down on her older sister's bed. Her legs twisted and flung around to dodge Ann's fiery hands before they burned her rubber skin. "Leave me alone Lu." Ann groaned. She is not a morning person, and she never will be.
The freckled twin stuffed her head into her pillow and let out another groan. "Come on Annie! Don't you want to go to Candies for more information about the music video? It sounds so cool!" Luffia started to laugh from the thought. Ann took this time to send a kick to her little sister's feet.
Luffy bounced like a rubber ball through the brunette's room, not showing any sign of pain.
"Come on Baby Annie, this is getting ridiculous." Luffy looked towards the door and saw Penguin. His golden eyes landed on Ann's dazed ones and his arms crossed over his chest. "I'll get Shachi and we can do this the hard way." He offered.
"Bring it on." Ann hissed. Her hands gripped her bed sheets, not ready to give up the comfort of sleep. Luffy looked around Annie's room and noticed something different. As always, there were posters of her crush littering the wall, as well as pictures of her family. Their mom and dad don't live with them but do come by from time to time.
They have a house on the Redline, and since their dad is known by every Pirate, he can't come to the Grand Line often. Not because he can't show face. Even though he is a famous pirate, he walks around the Grand Line, sometimes to see other pirates. What can people do anyways? Try to kill him? They don't call him the king for nothing. Many pirates have tried… but all have failed. It is even more difficult since normal people cannot know about power holders.
So, their dad walks around freely, but the reason he doesn't visit his children is because of their identities. He doesn't want pirates to know his children's true faces. Roger prevents this by using a different way to come inside his children's home. There's a secret passageway that connects their home to his academy office.
Their mother doesn't need to go through all that trouble, she can walk around where she wants. Rouge has made it her life goal to not be involved in the pirate world. As for the other members of Roger's crew, they are safe to come by.
Penguin stepped inside the room, followed by Shachi. The man cracked his knuckles and flexed his neck before flicking his fingers. Ann began to float from the motion, since Shachi has telekinesis.
Ann hissed and twirled in the air, "let me sleep!" Shachi ignored the statement and started to walk out of the room, with Ann floating behind him. Luffia grinned and bounced out of the room with Penguin.
Penguin took off his hat, showing his short raven hair. The sunlight clung to his gold piercings. Three lobe piercings and one helix.
"I haven't seen your full face in a bit." Luffy noted, still bouncing towards the kitchen. Penguin hummed in agreement.
Unlike Shachi, Penguin isn't very loud when alone. Yes, he is comfortable around Luffia but naturally he is more of a quiet person on his own.
When the sweet smell of bacon graced Luffia's nose, her speed increased. She hurried down the steps of her four-story home. Her mind couldn't keep up with her speed, making her trip and fall down the steps.
Before her face could hit the ground, a pair of arms caught her, "Lu, you need to slow down." Shanks laughed. He put his youngest down on her feet and looked up at the floating Ann. "Well, don't you look great." He said sarcastically with a chuckle.
Ann's short hair was frizzy and over the front of her face. The orange tank top she had on clung to the small abs on her torso, which were less defined than her brothers'. The gym is like Ann's second home. After she works, she goes to Candies boxing ring and spends hours working out. The gym and missions are the only way she can blow off steam. Sab sometimes joins, but she is more into academics if anything. Luffy loves the gym as well, but she rather do different things to make her less bored.
Ann pulled up her red sweatpants with a grunt, "put me down Shachi." The right-hand man shrugged and put the hot-headed woman down. She crossed her arms over her chest and flopped onto the couch. Her legs fell onto her other brother and her head buried into a pillow. Law snorted from the action and glared at her feet, "how long did you stay up last night? Move your feet." His tattooed fingers pressed against the middle of her foot. She jerked from the touch and frowned at Law.
"I don't know. I know I was awake when Sab came home."
"Yes, she went to bed hours after though." Sab interjected, peeking her head out of the kitchen. The only people that can cook in this house are Shanks and Sab.
Ann will burn the house down, Luffia thinks recipes are optional, and Law is too much of a perfectionist. He will take an hour to measure the right amount of liquid.
"Shanks, come finish the eggs, Law, Penguin, Shachi, set up the plates." Sab walked back into the kitchen after her orders.
Shachi and Penguin basically live here, they even have their own room. They share a house with Law, but since Law doesn't stay there often, neither do they. Besides Shachi and Penguin's room, there are two guest rooms. One of the brothers' floor, the second floor and one on the sisters' floor, the third floor.
The underground floor is where most of our mission supplies are, it also has a lab for Law.
Ann and Law got up to sit at the table, as well as everyone else. As always, there was a massive amount of food on the table. Since most of them can eat for ten people. Luffy and the twins eat the most, next would be Shanks. Law's eating habits are the opposite. He eats less than a normal amount or doesn't eat at all. He sometimes forgets with his busy schedule.
"What are your guys' plans?" Shanks asked, stabbing his eggs.
Sab answers first, "we and Ann are working on the case."
Ann raised a brow, "we are?" She picked up her orange juice and started to chug it.
"Yeah, we are going to the Newgate company."
The statement made Ann's eyes go wide. The orange juice in her mouth rushed out of her nose. She couched and winced from the stringing while Law pursed his lips, "that is disgusting." He lifted his hand, "room." A small blue bubble grew from his palm. The older brother mumbled something under his breath and switched out his clothes and the tablecloth.
Ann's head snapped to her twins, "you never told me, Sab!"
The blonde twin shrugged, "I told you multiple times, you just never listened."
"When?"
"Last night." She answered with the shake of her head
Last night
Ann swiped her fingers against her phone. She hasn't looked at it in a couple of days because a certain younger sister threw it into the pool in their backyard. Ann rolled her eyes from the memory and kept moving her finger. When she was done looking through her texts, she went to her instagram. At this time, Sab walked in.
The blonde placed her coat down on the couch Ann was sitting at. "Hey, is everyone else asleep?" Sab asked.
Ann looked up from her phone and smiled, "Law might be still awake, but yeah. How did the mission go?"
Sab opened the fridge and took out a water bottle, "very exhausting. Further details will be explained later."
The brunette nodded and went back to looking at her phone. Her eyes went wide when she saw a follow request from the one and only Izo Newgate. "Oh, by the way Ann, Marco asked us to visit his office tomorrow. Try to behave. You'll be alone with him for about an hour, I have to pick up the files from the office."
Ann was too busy staring at her phone to hear Sab's warning. Which is why she was not prepared for the next day.
"Sab, I was fantasizing!" Ann shouted, as if it were a valid reason. Sab let out a sigh and shrugged again. "We will be heading over there in an hour or so."
"Shit. I need to shower." Without another word, the crushing brunette ran up the stairs.
Luffia watched her leave with food flying into her mouth. She knows Ann has been crushing on Marco for the longest time. But she doesn't understand why. The man is gorgeous, it's just the 'crushing' part Luffy doesn't get.
She knows the basics of a relationship, kiss and what not. But that is about it. Sex isn't a secret to her either, but since she hasn't experienced it, she doesn't get it.
Not that she minds, she will never be love struck like Ann.
Law continued the conversation, "what are the rest of you doing?"
Luffia raised her hand, "me and Zoro are going to Candies for the music video! Shishishi! I can't wait! How about you Law? Aren't you going to be in it too? Oh and you too Shanks?" All the Gol D siblings are participating.
Law nodded while Shanks shook his head. "Bennie is making me come to the office to finish paperwork I didn't do a few days ago. I'll come by in a few hours." Shanks cupped his face and chewed on a piece of bacon. The reason he is behind in work is because of Makino. He ended up spending hours with her. When she had to leave, it made a sea of sadness wash over him. But, that only made him crave her presence more. Something about that woman interests me and I will find out what. Stupid Bennie can't get in the way of that.
"I might arrive a little later, I need to go by my office to pick up supplies. Then I need to do an autopsy related to one of Penguin and Ann's case." Law sighed. Penguin and Shachi smiled at their captain while Sab raised a brow. "What other case?"
Shachi answered her question, "Ann is helping us prove that this man's wife committed suicide. We asked Law to do an autopsy to check the woman's organs and stuff like that."
Sab nodded, she didn't have a problem taking on another case or two.
"How did your mission go Sabbie? Koala said it was super interesting. I wanna know!" Luffia pressed.
She stretched her arm to Sab's plate, but the blonde smacked it away. "Interesting isn't the way I would describe it." Sab began to explain her whole mission. She tells her siblings everything and Shachi and Penguin are some of her closest friends.
Vibrations filled Shachi's and Luffia's stomachs as they laughed at the story. Law shot his blonde sister a knowing look while Shanks displayed a teasing grin. By this time, Ann came tumbling down the stairs in only a towel. "S-Sab! Help me choose what to wear! Why are you guys laughing?"
"Sabbie had her first kiss with the new captain." Penguin exclaimed while Shachi started to make childish kissing noises.
Sab rubbed her temple, "that isn't what happened. Ann we have to go to the store first so wear something casual."
"Wait so you kissed the new captain? Did you see his face?" Ann beamed at her twin, only to be shot down by a glare.
"No, and I don't want to see his irritating face. I kissed his mask and it was for the mission." Ann snickered from her sister's obvious annoyance.
Luffia scrunched her brow from Ann's statement but decided to ponder it later. "Shishishi. I have to go, I'll see you guys later!" The rest watched the bumbling youngest zoom out of the door at lightning speed, taking food with her.
Luffia ran down the streets of the Grandline, she waved and smiled at passing people. A lot of people know who Luffia is, she basically makes friends with everyone she meets!
"Luffia my love~!" Someone from behind Luffy called. She spun around and started to walk backwards. A grin spread across her face, "hey Sanji!" Her lovesick cook twirled towards her with heart eyes.
Sanji has been a part of Luffia's crew for years now, so she is acquainted with his pervy tendences. "Oh Luffy my love! Your smile lights up my world!"
The two continued to walk together. Sanji was going to the office while Luffia was going to Zoro's. The office isn't far from Zoro's house for two reasons. One, it is right above the Laugh Tale academy. Two, they made sure Zoro lived close so he wouldn't get lost. Not like it worked.
"Why didn't you ask me to come with you to Candies Luffy? That moss head can't treat you properly." Sanji huffed.
The captain laughed, "you have a project to work on with Nami and Robin."
Sanji's eyes turned to hearts from the mention of other ladies, "that is very true~."
The two parted after a few more minutes of conversation. Soon enough, Luffia arrived at Zoro's house.
The bumbling brunette took out her personal key and opened the door. Zoro's house was a spacious one story. The house was a three bedroom with one bathroom.
Luffia pulled off her red jacket and placed it on the counter. Leaving her in only a white tank top and shorts. She stretched her arm and grabbed the fridge door to open it. Her other hand reached inside to grab whatever food she could hold.
Munching on the items she gathered, she headed to the back of the house. In the back is an indoor dojo a friend built for them a few years ago. A very close friend.
Her small fingers pulled at the sliding door till it revealed two men sparing and one woman watching. The woman watching had light pink, curled hair, with large eyes and slightly tanned skin. She wore a tight black blouse, hot pink boots, and a white miniskirt.
The guy Zoro was sparing with had jet black hair, impressive sideburns, and sharp golden eyes. His body was more muscular than Zoro's and he only used one sword. "Hey Hawky! Hey Perona!"
Dracule Mihawk~ age 43, 6'5, a seven Warlord, Zoro's adopted father, Hawky for short. Mihawk has known Luffia since her and Zoro became friends at the academy. He is aware of her true identity since his son is on her crew. He is also close friends with Shanks even though he is years older. Mihawk and Shanks battle from time to time, but they can only do it on a deserted island. Mihawk is also the man who holds the title as best swordsman. A title that Zoro will claim.
Perona~ age 25, the adopted daughter of Mihawk, an ex-member of the Thriller Bark Pirates. Perona is Zoro's older sister and as a result, she fights more with Zoro than Sanji does. She used to be a part of Gecko Moria's crew but left when an 'incident' happened. She was molested by a member of the crew named Absalom. When Zoro heard about this, he and the Strawhats stormed the place and destroyed it. The rest of the members are still alive and are somehow still counted as a Warlord crew. But they did suffer a major loss.
Zoro and Mihawk unlocked their swords and turned to the woman. Mihawk comes by his son's house for training and small get togethers the family has. Zoro and Perona live in the house together for two reasons. One neither one of them are dating anyone to live with at the moment. Two, they both can't afford to live alone.
You would think Zoro would have more than enough money to live alone, but he has other expenses. One, most of his business paycheck goes to the alcohol he drinks that they produce. The Strawhat company has a wide variety when it comes to production. They have close connections with Shanks and Mihawk when it comes to alcohol. Zoro's job is to keep that connection stable. Two, his paycheck from the Pirate world goes to the destruction he causes on the missions. Three, his other expenses go to bills and Luffia's food budget.
Perona gave a snicker to her younger brother, "Zoro, your captain is here." She announced in a teasing manner. The older sister has been teasing her brother about Luffia since the day they met. Luffia ignores it, not understanding the reason behind the teases.
"Hey Perona, fuck off." Zoro hissed back.
"Make me." She countered.
The two began to butt heads. Mihawk sighed at his children, wondering how he got through their teen years. The father took a towel and started to dab his naked shoulders. "Go take a shower Zoro. Perona, are you going to see Nojiko?" Perona turned her head to her father and puffed out her cheeks. "Yes."
Zoro took a towel from off the wall. "It's a miracle you have anyone that would wanna hangout with you." He mumbled under his breath.
Hot air blew out of Perona's nose, "what did you say!?"
"You heard me!"
Once again, they started to bicker. Mihawk left the room and Luffy followed him. "Yes Luffia?" The older man is familiar with the woman's personality. She only gives him that look when she wants something.
He would never say this out loud but he respects her as a captain and is glad his son is her crewmate. Even though she is one of the most reckless people he has ever encountered.
"You know what's coming up right? In a few months."
"Shanks's birthday, of course I know." The man started to push his feet into his boots.
"Are you going to go there with him?" Luffia pressed.
The man nodded and left the house with a few goodbyes towards his children. Luffia went back into the house and sat on the couch. "Perona, do you guys have any more food?"
Perona raised her brow and waved it off, "ask Zoro when he comes out of the shower. I have to meet Nojiko."
Nojiko~ age 22, 5'7, purple hair, scary like Nami, Nami's sister. Nojiko also knows about the pirate world, but she was never interested in it. She works with her mother at their tangerine orchard. Perona started working there after she left her crew. The two have become friends in a way.
Luffia waved goodbye to the older sister and started to skip to Zoro's room. She jumped on the bed and let her rubber body bounce on the sheets. When her frame settled, she looked around the place. She has been in Zoro's room multiple times, and each time she always looks in one area.
She got off the bed and headed towards her best friend's closet. On normal terms, this would be considered snooping, but Zoro doesn't care. It's Luffia, his captain, his best friend since they were eight. Why would it matter if she looked through his things? It's not like he is hiding something.
Her small finger gripped the shoe box on the top shelf. She pulled at the box until it was settled into her hands. Luffia walked back to Zoro's bed, less energetic than she was prior. The bumbling brunette hates opening this box but can't stop from doing so.
When the lid came off, a heaviness filled the air. Pictures, tons of pictures of Kuina. Zoro's ex-girlfriend and his other childhood friend. Many of the photos have Luffia in them. The three of them used to be great friends, until she started dating Zoro in high school. For some reason, Zoro started to avoid her after the fact. At that time, she was friends with Nami, Usopp, Sanji, Robin, and Chopper. They told her that it was because of their connection and that Kuina 'didn't like it'.
Luffia didn't understand what they meant by it, but always dwelled on it. The two dated for a long time, making Luffia feel worse after every passing day. But that all changed two years ago. Kuina left for some special training with her father. As a result, Zoro and her broke up. Luffia doesn't know all the details, she is just happy Kuina is gone.
"You miss her." Zoro's voice broke through Luffia's thoughts. She looked up to see her green-haired best friend, scrubbing his wet hair with a white towel. His boxers hanging low on his hips.
Luffia plastered a small grin from the statement. She closed the small box and put it back while Zoro changed. The moss head began to talk about his training with his father, but Luffia wasn't listening. She was too fixated on the box in her small hands. Luffia knows why she is feeling this way, she knows why Kuina's presence irks her.
But it's something she never wants to admit.
Her and her siblings talk about anything and everything. She realized her true feelings when Ann and Law explained the concept of love to her. Because of this, her siblings also know about her feelings towards Zoro. So does her crew and Koala.
She put the box back and turned on her heels. She plastered a large grin on her lips, "let go Zoro!"
Zoro pulled his white skirt over his impressive chest. "Sure."
Law pulled at his hat to block some of the sunlight beaming at him. "I told you Shachi, I need to check a few things at my office. Then I can take a look at the corpse. After we can go to Candies, stop whining." The older man huffed through the phone.
Originally, the brunette wasn't going to go to his job, but he has this weird feeling that he must. And his instincts are never wrong.
The grumpy surgeon had on spotted jeans, a dark blue hoodie, and his white hat. When it comes to his fashion choices, he rather be comfortable than trendy. If the occasion calls for it though, he will not hesitate to dress the part. With the help of Sab of course.
Law sipped his coffee and continued to make small glances at the people walking by. He is known around the city for being one of the best doctors.
He pushed his hand against the glass door of the hospital. The air was cold and stale and the waiting room only had a few chatters afloat. Law isn't surprised, it is a hospital after all.
This time, there was only a male by the desk. "Good morning, Dr. Trafalgar. I see you came for your patient." The man greeted. Law raised a brow, I only came here to check on my office. I shouldn't have any patients today.
The man saw the confusion written on the Surgeon's face and shot out his finger. "That isn't your patient? He said he was." Law turned his head and was met with a familiar nervous grin.
He pursed his lips and trotted over to the walking disaster. "I saw you not even a week ago, how did you get hurt again?" Law said, unamused.
The blonde scratched the back of his neck. "Sorry… I kinda tripped- and- well you know the rest."
Law let out a heavy sigh and scanned Corazon. The blond had a few bruises patterning his neck and went down his shoulder. Also, there was a stain on the left side of his shirt. Did he spill food on himself? No, that stain looks like a liquid caused it.
"Come with me." Law gestured for the man to stand up.
Corazon is height was quite intimidating, but Law was indifferent to it. Why would height matter if the man could barely walk straight. He is almost as bad as Ann when she is stressed.
The brunette twin also has a tripping problem when she is either nervous, anxious, or anything in between. It is not only tripping, but it's as if everything around her messes with her. One time she managed to give Shanks a concussion just from making toast! They both are loss causes. Yet… I'm stuck with helping both.
Something about Corazon makes Law feel the need to help him. It could be because of the goofy grin he gets in return every time. Or it might be an unjustified instinct.
The walk to Law's office was filled with silence. Corazon was too nervous to talk, feeling as if he was wasting the brunette's time. Once they got to Law's door, the surgeon finally spoke.
"How did you get hurt, you should be more careful." Law lectured. His nose scrunched and his chest puffed out; signaling that he was not pleased.
For some reason, Law's nagging calmed Corazon's nerves. Maybe it's because it's how the raven-haired man shows he cares.
"The bruises are from my brother-" Law's head snapped to the blonde so fast his neck ached. His ash-colored eyes held something malice, it almost made Corazon shudder.
The blonde put his hands up in defense, "it was training, my older brother would never hurt me. I swear!"
Law's body relaxed; he blinked as his eyes changed back to their usual dull look. He gestured for Corazon to sit down, "take off your shirt too."
The blonde nodded and started to peel off his clothing. Law opened his work computer that laid on his desk and typed in his password. Once it opened, he sighed. I forgot; I need Shachi to check my laptop because the screen is messed up. I guess I have to use my personal one… which I left here last night.
Law went behind his desk and pulled out his laptop back then his laptop. He opened the device, but before he could do anything-
"Law… I think I'm stuck." Corazon whispered. The brunette turned around and rubbed his temple at Corazon's state. The large man was in the middle of taking off his shirt, but his head got stuck. The blonde continued to pull, even though it was obviously not working.
The surgeon took this time to scan the blonde's exposed chest. I can tell he is eating healthy; he must also do a lot of physical activity. Firm muscles covered the man's torso with some stretch marks near the bottom of his back. He must've had a sudden growth spurt as a kid.
The surgeon scrunched his nose at the burn mark on his skin. "How did you get that burn mark?"
Tattooed hands tranced around the burned flesh on Corazon's side. The gentle touch made the blonde stiffen, "um… Law?"
"Answer the question, how did you get that burn mark?" Law's fingers pressed harder on the Corazon's skin. He has a speculation on how the blonde got burned, he just doesn't want it to be true.
"I spilled coffee on myself?" Corazon let out a nervous chuckle when he felt Law's hands pull up his shirt.
When Corazon's head was free, Law pushed him to sit down. "Let me tell you what I think happened, you tell me if I'm right." Corazon gulped but nodded.
"You were on your way to see me after you saw those bruises." Corazon nodded. Law started to pace around the room while rubbing his chin.
"Then because you are nice." The blonde smiled at the complement. "So nice that it makes you do stupid things." Law added, making Corazon's smile turn into a defeated frown.
"You bought me coffee, since where we met is only a few blocks away. Then, about halfway here- wait, that is too generous. When they handed you the cup of the steaming liquid, you split it on yourself."
Corazon slumped his shoulders and avoided Law's knowing gaze. The surgeon's guess was right on the mark, and it makes Corazon embarrassed. Law fixed him up the first time they met and didn't even charge him, and he can't even get the man a coffee. Corazon felt like he failed the brunette.
A sudden pain lanced over his body, causing him to shudder under Law's touch. Law rubbed his finger with more care over the burn mark and sighed. "Next time, just come straight here."
His voice was low and barely audible, but made Corazon's eyes light up.
Waves of joy rippled through the blonde, so much that it beamed out of him. Law raised a brow at Corazon, not understanding why he was so happy. "Come on, let's fix you up." Law pressed Corazon until his back was on the small platform he sat on. Law examined the other marks on the blonde's well built body before cleaning the slight burn.
"The bruises on your body will heal in a couple of days. Tell your brother to take it easy or next time he will suffer the consequences." Law snorted. Corazon let out a chuckle before hissing at the rag Law pushed on the burn.
The blonde started to wiggle in discomfort, like Luffy when he had to clean her wounds. "How did you know what kind of coffee to get me?" Law asked. It was the first question he could come up with. Knowing the blonde relaxes more when he is talking.
"Oh, um- well it was a guess. I thought you would like it black, so that's what I got." Corazon answered nervously.
"You were right, I do like mine black. Good guess."
Once again, Corazon beaked with joy because of Law's minor complement towards him. "Hey… Law… I think I-... well I want too-"
"Cap-tain!" The door swung open along with the loud voice. Corazon jumped from the voice, making his head slam against Law's. The surgeon winced and cursed from the impact before rubbing his temple.
Corazon gulped when he saw something in Law's eyes turn dark. At first he thought it was towards him, but when the surgeon turned his head, he began to growl. "Shachi, I'm in the middle of something."
A mop of messy brown hair peeked into the room, next to him was his partner in crime. Both wore identical clothing, plain white jumpsuits with a tight black shirt underneath. The one with the sunglasses laughed, "sorry Cap-tain! We thought you'd be finished, you said you have no patients today."
Corazon gave a weak smile to the two men. When Shachi and Penguin realized Corazon was in Law's office, shirtless, their minds went wild.
Law sensed their mischievous side coming out and shut it down. "Don't even think about it. He is a patient." The blonde slumped his shoulders from Law's words.
"We would never suggest such a thing." Shachi said with a dramatic gasp. Penguin copied the man's actions and pressed his hand on his lips. "La-Law! We are just wondering why such a sexy man is in your office! But…" Shachi started to wiggle his brow playfully at his Captain.
"If you were doing something so scandalous… you could tell us."
Penguin leaned closer to his captain's face, "yeah, you can tell us anything and everything Law." Both shared an amused twinkle in their eyes.
The surgeon let out a sigh before picking up his tattooed fingers and poking the two men in their shimmering orbs. Penguin stepped back and winced while Shachi whined as he rubbed them. "You can't do that cap-tain! It hurts."
Law rolled his eyes and took a seat in his chair, "I would say sorry, but I'm not." He shrugged his shoulders with a bored look, causing Corazon to chuckle. The brunette tilted his head to look at the blonde, "what?" Law's voice was more curious than annoyed, even with his printed scowl.
Both Shachi and Penguin looked at the patient and doctor before flicking back to each other. Shachi gave a puzzled look while Penguin shrugged.
"It's nothing, I have never seen you show any kind of emotion. It's nice." Corazon answered honestly. The goofy grin he gave Law made the surgeon tilted his head away.
"The only emotion I am feeling now is irritation." His ash colored eyes narrowed into his right-hand men. Shachi gave a nervous smile while Penguin found a sudden Interest in the wall next to him.
Ann blew at her dark hair with puffed out cheeks. Her rubber boots kicked in the air as her body adjusted to the metal she was sitting on. The cold material brushed against her flesh, making her sigh blissfully.
Sab looked down at her sister, "you know Ann." She started, looking up and down at the older twin. Ann wore a black tank top with baggy orange and white camo pants. Her short hair was tied up in a small ponytail. The older one was sitting in a grocery chart, surrounded by the piles of food they needed to buy. Ann's feet hung off the side while her eyes scanned the phone in her hand.
"Yes Sabbie."
"Why are you the older sister when your actions match a five year olds?" Ann froze from Sab's statement and snorted. She crossed her hands over her almost flat chest with a glare. "That's not true."
To prove her point, Sab's shot out her finger towards a nearby cart. In that chart held a small boy with light blue hair and chubby cheeks.
From his size, Ann could tell he was about five years old. The blue-haired boy was sitting in a grocery cart, same as Ann. "Well, I'm sorry. I don't like to walk." The brunette replied, even though that was not her reason. Ann is sitting in the cart so she can stare at her phone.
Her eyes are glued to the follow request Izo sent her. "Ann, follow him already." Sab insisted, throwing something else into the cart. "Sab, you don't understand." Ann whined.
She picked up her phone to show her blonde twin the request. "This is the most important thing that has happened in my life!" Sab sighed before pressing her finger against the screen to accept the request. Ann's eyes went wide, she retracted her phone but it was too late. "Sab, how could you!"
"Like you weren't going to accept it. Anyways, we need more food." Ann puffed out her cheeks and jumped out of the cart. Once her feet touched the floor, she slipped and her face planted onto the tile. Sab rolled her eyes and ignored the brunette as she whined from the pain.
Sab picked a few more items from the shelf next to her. She glanced to the front of the isle, debating on whether or not she should continue shopping. That is when she saw him. The second annoyance in her life, Eustass Kid.
The redhead wore worn out blue jeans with a tight, short sleeved, black shirt. His flame hair looked slightly damped and his golden tinted orbs were placed on the man to his right.
Next to Kid was a blonde, a familiar one at that. "Hey… Annie." Sab whispered, her foot nudging at her toppled sister. Ann grumbled and slowly picked up her head, "yes Sab? By the way, fuck you."
"Yeah, yeah, you might want to turn around."
As if on cue, when Ann turned her head, that was when the blonde turned his. Their eyes met and for Ann it gave her a heart attack. The blonde next to Kid was Marco.
Marco wore gray pants with a light blue button up. His glasses laid on his nose and his smile made Ann forget how to breathe.
Sab noticed something between their stares, both have the same look in their eyes. She rubbed her chin from the thought before pausing from a nearby snort. "Hello." She greeted through her teeth, turning to Kid.
The smile she put on her face made Kid reflect it. Both expressions held something behind them, for Sab it was irritation, for Kid it was amusement.
Sab broke eye contact with Kid to look at Ann, "are you ever going to get up?" The brunette struggled to get off the ground as heat applied to her face. The tip of her nose stung from her kissing the ground, but she ignored it.
Marco's blue orbs trailed down her body as she dusted herself off. The tank top she wore ended at her mid stomach and affixed to her semi defined abs. While her bottoms hung low on her gorgeous hips, almost as a tease.
His eyes went back up to her face and saw her nose was red, along with her tanned cheeks. "Are you ok Ann, yoi." The blonde walked closer to the girls, with Kid shadowing behind him. The reason Kid and Marco are at the store was to get supplies for the agency.
Kid and Marco are friends, so going along with each other wasn't a big deal. Kid could be hot headed at times, but Marco sees no problem with it. When the Newgate's fingers touched Ann's face, her cheeks flared up in an instant. Marco noticed her slight discomfort and backed away, "sorry Ann. I didn't mean to be too forward, yoi." The red on Ann's cheeks doubled, "no-no! It's fine!"
Sab decided to interject before her twin's head explodes, "hello Marco, Eustass. We were just about to go to your agency. Do you mind if I drop these off and meet you there?" her finger pointed at the items in her cart.
Marco turned to her, "sure, yoi. No problem."
"That's great! Can Ann go with you guys?" The brunette snapped her head towards her sister with a growl, but Sab ignored it. Kid shrugged; he doesn't have a problem with Ann since he never met her. Marco smiled and nodded, "only if Ann wants to, yoi."
Ann only stared at Marco's half-lid blue eyes, unable to form words from the smile on his full lips. She swears her heart stopped beating for a moment, "y-yeah!" She squealed.
"Well there you have it, I'll see you guys later. It was a pleasure to see you, Eustass." Sab said with the tilt of her head.
Kid gritted his teeth, "the pleasure is all mine Sabrina." For some reason, the way Kid said her name made her grip tighten on the cart. She walked away before he could annoy her further. Kid watched her leave with a triumphant snicker. It is always a pleasure to annoy you, Gol D Sabrina.
