Looking for a book

[M/N][L/N] P.O.V

The morning sun was pleasant to feel on my skin when I slept in, I felt lazy to get up and chose to stay in bed as a result. I grabbed my pillow and snuggled it since everyone was up and left after taking a bite. Speaking of, Ace was getting better at eating small bits of my soul and it was a relief to find out that souls regenerate quickly as long as it's not destroyed. I groaned slightly and pulled the blankets on top of me to go back asleep. I liked being warm and unfortunately, winter was coming soon. I fell back asleep shortly after.

Eventually the soft soothing motion could be felt from a warm familiar hand thatwas under the blanket. I peaked out slightly and my blurry vision saw yellow blobs of hair which I associated with Marco so I leaned slightly more into the touch. The warmth of the light flames was so nice and made me feel warm inside. Marco apologised as he couldn't find my book and even though I was sad about that, I told him it was fine and to give me some time to let me sleep more since I was still so sleepy. I admitted a thought I had yesterday night.

"Uh Marco... I think I like kissies..."

"You do?"

"Mhm"

"Can I kiss you right now?"

The question caught me off guard but I was still sleepy and a bit more bold so I nodded and pulled my hand out of the blanket to point to my cheek with a red face. Marco let out a small coo before leaning down with an arm by my side to keep his balance before giving me a kissie on the cheek. I got more red and hid under the blanket again while Marco pulled away. I got even more red when he called me cute before ruffling my hair.

"Well my blanket burrito-yoi, feel free to come out whenever you like. You must still be very tired if you want kissies rather openly unlike usual. You usually say them in your sleep"

At that I got very red and almost passed out from the embarrassment. I didn't know I asked for them even in my sleep. I pulled the blanket completely over me and hid away as Marco laughed a bit, calling my awkwardness cute. He kissed my blanket where my head would be which surprised me and got me more red. He's such a smooth flirt as Ace would put it. Marco left soon after and I went back to sleep. I got back up and went looking around tiredly for my book in the garden never to find it. I would look around and even gather courage to ask other people but no one saw it. It was an issue since it was my sketchbook.

The next two weeks passed by with me carrying missions and always catching a glimpse of the man called Dracule Mihawk as Thatch told me. He was the demon who scared me really badly and chased me up to the roof a while back. I don't know why I would occasionally cross paths with him but he was quite nerve wrecking since he wouldn't attack me and just pass me. I have been doing more mission with Shanks and his members but Shanks almost never got involved because if he did then there was too much flirting. I did a lot of solo missions with Benn and Yasopp. 

Currently, I was completely by myself on the outskirts of Whitebeard territory to just look around and scour the area or more so to observe. I was just watching from a roof by myself with my legs dangling off the edge until I saw familiar red hair. It didn't belong to Shanks. It was that other red head that could control metal. I cursed and swung my legs back and moved to hide behind the raised surface of the edge of the roof. Scowling, I made sure to peak at why they were loitering around this area in particular.

The red head was throwing a fit for some reasom and I looked closer at his left arm and it seemed to be a weird until I noticed a very deep cut thats been stitched back together. I don't think he had such a big scar before. Shanks did say he dealt with them before during one of the rare times we had a solo mission before. I paled at the thought he might've gotten back with some violence. He couldn't have right? Well he didn't look that badly hurt I think. I noticed the group was literally wrecking havoc on the buildings and they went for my building.

I couldn't escape since I was on the roof and they were knocking down the pillars at the foundation. I panicked and but knew not to move since it was safer to be on the room. The building soon collapsed but thankfully I only knocked out for a few minutes and nothing badly hurt me, just a bit of rubble. I tried getting up but saw familiar blonde hair which gave me flashbacks to the dude who pinned me down. I believe his name was Killer. I decided to stay hidden among the rubble and waited patiently as he passed by. I breathed a sigh of relief and turned to look behind me to see Killer there. I swore he just passed me!

Before I could scream, a hand covered my mouth but I pulled out my gun and aimed it at his head. If he did anything, I would be forced to pull the trigger. It gave me so much anxiety the next few minutes to be quiet while looking very certain in my decision to shoot if Killer made a move. Eventually the red head and his members went ahead without Killer first, thinking he had already gone ahead. I waited for a few more minutes before hearing more buildings being destroyed and the loud ruckus they made which made it alright to talk.

"You! Uh- Don't tell him I'm here and I uh won't shoot!" I said

"Hard to take you seriously but sure" Killer said with a slightly smug tone

"Are... you uhm making fun of me?" I scowled

"Not really, you're pretty awkward too huh?" Killer questioned with the same undertone

"Yeah.. I ...uhm.. try  to be better though" I admitted with sadness at my own awkwardness

For some reason, Killer suddenly doubled over and clenched his heart at me admitting it. He pounded the ground a bit which made me worried before he got up and grabbed me by the collar of my white coat, yanking me up. It confused me greatly even when I still kept that gun pointing at him. He pointed in the direction to Whiteboard territory without a word before leaving me alone, staggering slightly to the direction of chaos. I left and even passed Mihawk again on the way home.

What just happened?

A/N: If you're wondering what happened, Killer found (M/N) incredibly cute due to his awkwardness and even related to him a bit because of how embarrassed (M/N) was of his awkwardness. Killer likes cute things and upon (M/N)'s declaration, suffered a mini heart attack from cuteness. Thanks for reading! Also (M/N) has gotten kissies before from Marco because once a sleep deprived (M/N) asked for them but (M/N) forgot that he did. Hence why he's so embarrassed upon finding out. The scar Kidd has will be explained soon hehehe, bye bye!
