“oh. well, pick any book. i don’t mind reading out loud, especially if it’s you or chopper i’m reading too.” returning the little squeeze of her hand, smiling fondly when he looked back at her. part of her knew he wanted to cuddle too, and this was just an excuse but she didn’t mind the rouse.

Squeezing her hand with a low chuckle, his steel gaze wandered over to her and then back ahead. “Nah, you’re good at readin’, so was gonna have you do that out loud…” And cuddle. Not that he would say it out loud.

smiling fondly as he guides her to her personal sanctuary, the library, fingers lacing together with his. a soft chuckle before she spoke softly, “you just want to cuddle, don’t you?”

Hands roamed down over her arms to take her hands, pressing one more kiss to her neck before pulling her toward the library. “Somethin’ like that, yeah.”

fingers find their way into his mossy green hair, raking though them with a soft touch. “you want to read? sure, let’s go.”

Grunting against her skin, his warm breath settled over the curve of her neck. “Wanna go read?”

confused, and just a little startled at first. it wasn’t common for the swordsman to show her much affection out of the blue, but she soon closed her eyes to enjoy it.

Tugs @demonhistorian.bsky.social to his broad chest, moving her hair from her neck so he can dip his head to press a kiss beneath her ear.

peeking at him from behind the rim of her coffee mug, blue hues never leaving his frame even as he moved closer. the comforting warmth of his calloused hand making way for him much like he had made himself comfortable in her heart. ➷

- Hearing the crew outside for breakfast made his chest swell with pride. This was home. Attention returning to Robin, he tilted his head curiously. “What d’ya want us to be?”

if you're not gonna bleed for me, go.

she could hear the cogs turning in his head as she made her way back towards him, opting to prop herself up onto the kitchen counter he was loitering by. it felt nice to be able to have a conversation with him with a semblance of quiet—— of course the sounds of their crew rounding up around the ➷

- for the cook. All the times he carried bags for her and Nami. Anytime Usopp needed something heavy moved to his lab. All of it shown just how much he cared. Still he huffed, looking away. “The fish…”

squinting at @dunecrown.bsky.social she’s in the mood to start an argument.

finding the nearest piece of paper to jot down a quick note for @ofdemonicswords.bsky.social before heading out for the day out in town with the ships doctor. the only pen she could find was a barely functioning one with red ink—— so at first glance her scribes look like they were written in blood.

leaving a little note in one of @deathshands.bsky.social’s medical journals, for him to find at a later date.

Kat.♡̷̷ˎˊ˗ i want to come back and write but its so dead, its demotivating.

( oh how the swordsman was distracting. especially with the conversation they were having—— excluding the grilled fish and coffee. she knew he wasn’t one to talk much, so hearing whatever was on his mind was always a special treat. over the years, she’s come to learn all of his little quirks. ) ➷

- hide behind her coffee. Mhmm he distracted her. He liked the sound of that.] Nah, I’d cook it over a fire for ya. Would be nice and toasty, crispy skin, soft inside.

maybe . . she’s too cute and cuddly to live her life as a stray.

𝑹𝒐𝒓𝒐𝒏𝒐𝒂 𝒁𝒐𝒓𝒐 ‧ ‧ ‧ メ@ofdemonicswords.bsky.social · last yr.

Maybe not. Maybe ya can find her a place to live here?

the world is way too frightening there's not much that i like of it

you're nothing until the thrill of the kill becomes your only law

happy birthday cora-san! #コラさん誕生祭2025

glad you agree. 🥰

it really is revolutionary 🖤

if i am killed for simply living, let death be kinder than man.

full disclosure, i am a monster. a creature of despair—— not that that should be a cause for concern.

i want to but i don’t think the sunny is very safe for a kitty.

Well, if it’s up t’me, I say keep her.

( as much as her body desires to stay in his arms, and bask in the warmth of his fingertips brushing against her waist, her heart could no longer take it—— it would simply burst. which is why she was loitering by the coffee machine, hiding her blushing face behind the fresh cup of coffee when ➷

- ya for one to jump so easy. [He teased, deep voice teasing as he crossed his arms and watched her.] Well if th’cook wasn’t around, I’d make sure you had food.

found her hiding under the deck by franky’s cola brewery.

That’s cute. Where’d ya get it ?

the latter, i can get behind. ( offering him a shot before she takes another. )

You’re welcome.. You can murder some barrels of alcohol… or murder some assholes who really deserve it I guess…

but i want to be murderous . . ( pouting as she watches him walk off to procure the drinks she requested. immediately taking a shot upon his return. ) thanks rooster-kun.

𝔅𝔞𝔯𝔱𝔬𝔩𝔬𝔪𝔢𝔬@thatoneroosterhead.bsky.social · last yr.

I’m judging trying to help you not be so murderous… Vodka and dirty martini… coming up. [I disappear to find a bar to get a few shots of vodka and a dirty martini. I carefully carry the tray back to her and offer it to her.]

can’t a girl be resentful enough to want someone dead without someone trying to make moves on her? 🙄🙄 hm . . i suppose a couple rounds of vodka and a dirty martini would help.

𝔅𝔞𝔯𝔱𝔬𝔩𝔬𝔪𝔢𝔬@thatoneroosterhead.bsky.social · last yr.

Yeah… I know but in the event you didn’t actually want someone dead… I’d let you take it out on me.. What else can I do to help?
