The Pirates Era has ships sailing all over the world to chase and find the One Piece, as well as to become Pirate King. All thanks to the infamous pirate Gol D. Roger who spoke those words at his execution.
That's every pirates dream.
Except for...
"Yeah well..." You continued. It was one day that you began to question your actions. But Lucci as well, you learning his expressions as he always glanced at you curiously when you had his back. One day, he got caught in the water and was quickly sinking. Without a second thought, you jumped and saved him. When he looked at you with questioning eyes, did you realize you saw him as a comrade.
But he was an asshole.
Didn't even say thank you. So you teased and prodded him. Calling him 'Lucci-neko', kitty, pussycat, or just plain pussy. You're surprised you didn't get killed from calling him that. But Hattori would suddenly start pecking your forehead that he got his revenge when he just smirked in amusement as he watched. It was strange, (Y/N) said.
Smoker narrowed his eyes, "It is," he agreed with something flashing in his eyes before he glanced away. You nodded as you said he called you names as well, mostly 'Idiot'. Or 'naive' because of their different views.
"Six years passed. The missions requiring more days. Information retrieval, assassination, kingdoms messing help with pirates or bandits, everything. Every night, I would get nightmares. It was during this that I constantly thought I should've just listened to Garp instead of being the head strong girl I was. I had nightmares of my own hands dyed red with blood... Screaming. Crying...and then..." You rose your downward eyes at him to look at a solemn quiet Smoker. "That mission was assigned."
You were about to continue, until your Haki alerted that someone was coming.
You sighed. "Ah, Smoker. It's best that we leave it here until next time. Someone's coming." You stated tiredly before you stood up from the chair, Smoker quickly following afterwords with incredulous narrowed eyes, as he caught your arm.
"(Y/N). There is no next time. Don't you see?! Don't you know what Impel Down is going to do? (Y/N) you—!" He stopped himself and gazed down towards you, making your eyes widen. Smoker is...tearing up? You were suddenly pulled towards his body in a bone crushing hug. His head on your shoulder.
"You were a marine before (Y/N)...they will see you as a traitor and will be treated perhaps even harsher then the worlds worst criminals they have down there..." He mumbled on your shoulder.
"Smoker..." You whispered. You rose your arms to squeeze him back. He's warm. He's always been warm. Your favorite kind of hug would always be one from the silver haired smoking man.
"I know, Smokey. Trust me...I know. But we'll see each other again. Please, believe me." You pressed.
'Believe me Smoker. Please don't think I'm going to die. I'll be fine. You will see me soon.'
"(Y/N)—" you pulled back a little as you tilt your head up towards him. Their faces mere inches away from each other. You rose your right hand towards his cheek to cut him off, his eyes wide.
"Smoker. Believe me. We will see each other again."
Look at me Smoker. Look at them.
Smoker gazed down at you intensely, his eyes slowly narrowing when the strength of your words sunk in. He then leaned his head down towards you, your heads touching as the both of you held each other's eyes. Your face was slightly flushed. Was it getting a little hot in here? Or is it the smoke?
"Alright..." He breathed. You slowly gave a small smile at him.
"Thank you. Smoker." Smoker looked at you, and then did something that surprised you. He kissed your cheek, softly, slowly. Then pulled away. You looked at him with wide eyes and a flush, while he looked away with a mild blush of his own.
'Cute...'
(Y/N) then walked into your cage, Smoker quickly locking it when the footsteps grew closer. The guardsman came in. As Smoker walked away, he gave a small glance over his shoulder, to see a smirking (Y/N). You mouthed 'Cute Smokey.' He blushed in embarrassment and quickly walked up the steps, a small smile on his lips as he went. He would have to thank Tashigi later.
