Devilish

Bathroom

The next morning -

Leila woke up with a splitting headache, an effect from the heavy drinking the night before. The sun cascaded into the window, the warmth settling on her milky pale skin. She sat up, feeling utterly exhausted despite the night of rest and noticed Robin sleeping next to her soundly.

'Ah, had I crashed in her room the night before?' Leila sighed, sinking into Robins arm as she snuggled into her older sister figure. Robin had instantly taken Leila under her wing after they helped her escape Thriller Bark, despite the fact that she had every reason to distrust her. She reminded her somewhat of herself.

Leila was working under Gecko Moria's family when she first met the Strawhat's, not to her own choice, but due to the unfortunate circumstances led to that being her only option. She had been with them since she was a young child and, like a twisted joke, they considered her family. As soon as she saw heard that Luffy was in Thriller Bark she couldn't contain her desperation to leave. She risked it all to seek out help from the crew and risked getting killed. When they finally crossed paths, Leila fell to her knees sobbing for Luffy to help her. Luffy being luffy, said 'leave it to him!' A part of Leila's plea reminded him of when Nami asked Luffy for help to defeat Arlong, the desperation and exhaustion of their pleas resounded within him.

After the defeat of Moria, Leila accompanied the crew. She didn't want to cause any trouble and just needed to get away from Thriller Bark - despite Luffy promising her she would be safe. She got on relatively well with everyone - but particulary Robin, Nami and Zoro (unusually). Due to Zoro's much needed recovery from Kuma, Leila spent a lot of time next to Zoro in his healing process. She was quiet, so he didn't mind, and the two quickly bonded. Leila wasn't sure why Zoro took such a liking to her, but he did consider her part of the nakama (as did all the crew) despite her not being officially part of their crew. Leila comes and goes from the crew, making sure to meet up with them when she can, like she was doing this weekend, meeting them at this small harbour town.

Sanji burst through Robin's door, spinning with heart eyes bulging "Robin-chwaan, Leila-swaaan! My beautiful black-haired beauties!" He spun in the middle of the room, seeing the two women practically cuddling in the same bed sent him overboard, giving him an instant nosebleed. Leila giggled to herself, she always found Sanji amusing whilst Robin stirred from her slumber, looking down at the perverted cook who had collapsed on the floor.

Franky peeped his head around the corner and stepped over Sanji entirely. "This is a SUPPPERRR day!" He held his hand out to Robin who took it to help herself out of bed and he twirled her in his arms and into a sweet embrace. Robin smiled sweetly at him, seemingly unbothered by his affections but evidently content. Leila looked at her friends happily and hoped that they wouldn't get any noise complaints.

Law stirred from his sleep due to the racket coming from downstairs. He pulled on a shirt but didn't bother to button it up as he stormed down the stairs in an angsty mood. He barely got enough sleep last night due to...thoughts...keeping him up, and now he got woken up so early in the morning! He was going to beat these idiots to a pulp when he found them. He stormed down the hall and ended at where the noise was coming from....and suddenly it made sense. He stood outside Robin's room and saw the Strawhat's making such a commotion with no care in the world. Leila's eyes settled on him but then darted to his bare chest, his contoured abs rippling in the sunlight from the window panes. A light blush covered Leila's face as she shyly adverted her gaze from his muscles.

"Good morning Law, did you sleep well?" She smiled at him.

Law just stared at her, noticing her shy disposition, 'why is she acting shy now? She was throwing herself at me last night'.
