Where have you been, Shanks? Shanks x reader

"Why...?" You questioned

"WHY ARE YOU BACK? AFTER 12 YEARS YOU COME BACK!? WHY?!" You yelled looking at him, your fists clenched but you still had tears in your eyes "WHERE HAVE YOU BEEN?! WHAT THE HELL IS WRONG WITH YOU?!"

Finally Shanks looked at you "Hello Y/n..." Shanks said softly his voice changed "'Hello Y/n'? that's what you say to me...? THATS THE FIRST THING THAT YOU SAY TO ME?" You yelled once again

"I am angry at you and all you can say is 'hello'...?" Your fists unclenched "You really are pathetic... You know that... Never sending letters... Or anything... You send some to her. After 10 years. You send letters to her but not me?" You pointed at Makino "You are fucking pathetic..." You said, and walked out his crews mouths agape.

Time skip

You're laying on your bed late at night your knees cleaned. You're staring up at the ceiling remember when you and Shanks lived in this house together. How he would come to your room during a storm with hot chocolate and you would both watch the rain, thunder and lightning.

You jumped when you heard a knock on your front door... You knew who it was, you just didn't want to see him at this moment... But the knocking was there again, more persistent. "Fine! I'm coming!" You sighed and stood up. Opening the door, Shanks was standing right there in the door

"What?" You questioned staring up at the now 6' 6" guy, he looked down at you "You've changed." He said smiling. "So have you now what do you of all people want?" Shanks walked in your house stepping last you he took off his shoes and wiped his feet on the map as respect and took off his Cape thingy and out it on the coat rack with one hand.

"Nice to know you have some manners, still doesn't excuse coming her at like half 11." You sneered Shanks shrugged and walked to your kitchen "You don't mind do you? It is storming outside." You raised an eyebrow, but nodded letting him do what he wanted because you were curious to see what he was gonna do.

He got two mugs out and made hot chocolate. "really...?" You said softly... And grabbed a mug "Fine..." You said softly and walked to your room with him following behind you and sat on the floor by the window that went from top to bottom so you could see everything, a glass sliding door basically

"So tell me." You said once he had sat next to you. "Why are you here..?" You questioned, Boom! The thunder banged "I... Don't actually know... Maybe I came to apologize... Maybe I thought of you when the storm started... Maybe I always think of you when it storms." He said

"Get to the point..." You said rolling your eyes bringing your knees back up to your chest... "Your hot chocolate is the same as I remember. It's good thank you." You grumbled into your arms.

Shanks smiled "I'm glad, you still like it." He smiled and drank some of his. "Y/n... I wanted to apologize... For never writing to you... I know... I know it's inconvenient... But I never knew what to say.... I did... I wrote to you... In my heart... And in my head... I have letters... That I never sent because I wasn't sure if you wanted to... Hear from me..."

You looked at the rain nodding to let him know you were listening. "120 letters... One for every month...  And 12 for each year... I wrote you 132 letters... But... I never had the courage to send them..." Shanks said softly putting down the mug. "I missed you..."

Time stopped, the rain seemed to freeze, a perfect lightning struck but it stuck... It was still there... You turned to him and looked at him your eyes wide open... 'Did he say he missed me...?' you questioned...

"Wait... What...?" You said softly... "You missed me? Say it again...." He turned to look at you with a soft smile on his face... "I missed you, I know 12 years was an extremely long time I know... Trust me I felt it... You were angry at me and I didn't want you to be... I'm sorry..."

"Alright..." You said softly smiling at him "Alright.... I'll give you a chance..." He smiled at that. "Thank you, Y/n..." You smiled and finished your hot chocolate then lay in your bed  and patted the space next to you.

Shanks came and lay with you, pulling him close to him, holing you close with his singular arm. "I missed laying with you... You were always so warm and it always felt nice knowing where you were and that you were with me." You snuggled into his chest and he smiled at you.

"Me too Y/n... Me too..." He said drifting off into sleep as did you
