Day 18 - The Doctor is In (Yandere! Marco x Reader)

"Uh- Who's this Ace?" Marco asked his injured friend.

"Oh, where are my manner? Marco, this is [Y/n]!" Ace introduced you to the blond.

"Nice to meet you," You greeted with a smile and held out your hand.

"Dr. Phoenix." Marco returned the gesture and shook your hand. He internally was surprised, your hand felt warm and soft, friendly and comforting. Add the bright smile you gave him, and he dropped all formalities. "But you can just call me Marco."

"Already being friendly with someone besides your brothers?" Ace joked, nudging Marco.

"Is he not?" You questioned, tilting your head and letting go of Marco's hand.

"Mr. bird brain here usually keeps things strictly professional inside the clinic."

"Don't call me that," Marco said giving Ace an unamused look.

"Oh, sorry, Dr. bird brain." Ace bowed, acting polite. Marco would've been irritated if it had not been for your laugh that broke the ice. Your laugh was like the bird's song to the wind, so wonderful and pleasant to hear. Ace caught him staring at you. "Hey, Marco."

"Hm?" Marco snapped out of his gaze and turned to Ace.

"We came here to get my shoulder checked, I think it's dislocated."

"Again?" Marco sighed, rubbing his temples. "You and Luffy make up the majority of my patients list, and that's when Luffy isn't visiting his other doctor."

"Oh, so this crazy stunt stuff is a regular thing then?" You guessed, making the connection. "Guess I'll be seeing you more often then since I'm going to hang out with these guys."

Marco paused, a warmth kindled in his heart. He liked the idea of seeing you regularly.

"Shishishi, hey Marco!" Luffy greeted the doctor when Marco entered the waiting room. "I broke my arm again, and Chopper has his hands full with Zoro and Sanji. Thankfully [Y/n] could drive me here."

"Hi Marco!" You waved at him with a friendly smile.

"Nice to see you again, [Y/n]. You too, Luffy."

It has been a few months since you've met Marco, and he has come to terms that he something more than just a simple crush on you but he didn't know what it was exactly. After the second time you visited with Ace, Marco asked his practical brother for your number, not confident in asking you for it himself. He simply said it was for practical purposes, in case he couldn't use/have his phone that you could simply call in ahead of time. That wasn't the only thing Marco asked for.

He wanted to know when your birthday was, where you worked, and what you were into. Everyday stuff right? Well, it would be normal if it weren't for the fact he now had over a hundred gifts for you sitting in his house, waiting to be given to you during a holiday or when your birthday comes around. He couldn't help it, each time he saw something he thought you like he bought it. Of course, at the rate he was going, he could give you a gift every day for a year, but he wasn't the kind of person who do that so it feel strange if he did that. You'll just have to wait for the special occasion to come to get all those gifts.

"Oh Marco, you think you can get Luffy home?" You asked, slipping your phone into you pocket. You must've been checking the time while he had been zoned in on taking care of Luffy's arm.

"You're not staying?" Marco hold back his distressed tone when the thought of you leaving early crossed his mind.

"Yeah, sorry," You apologized, ruffling your hair. "I... I got a thing."

"She's got a date," Luffy bluntly stated, pointing his index finger at you.

"I told you it's not like that!" You flushed, growling at the strawhat boy who only giggled.

In reality, you were just going to see the recent movie that just came out with a few friends. You were always talking about the date it was released, that's why Luffy thought it was a date. However, Marco didn't know that, he thought you actually had a date.

"Uh... sure I can drive Luffy home for you [Y/n]," Marco replied, hiding the burning envy in his heart.

"Thanks, I owe ya one!" You said, making you had everything before you left. You started checking because it seemed you had somehow forgotten stuff, lucky Marco always found it and gave it back to you.

"Just make me your family doctor and we'll call it even."

"Alright."

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"Hey Marco."

"What happened to you?" Marco inquired seeing you scratching your red bumps.

"Don't worry, I'm not Ace, I didn't get attacked by ants," you laughed as you continued to scratch yourself. "I just got this nasty rash and I don't know how to get rid of it."

"Ah, I- wait right here, I got just the thing," Marco reassured you and left the room. He returned a bit later with two cups, one that had water, the other containing three pills. "Take these, it'll get rid of your rash."

"Thanks Marco, you're the best." You took the pills and swallowed them, washing it down with water. Your mind started to get a little fuzzy, yet when you looked at your arm the rash was clearing up so you thought that this had been a sign the medience was working. Letting out an unexpected yawn, your eyes suddenly became heavy and so you decided to let them rest, thinking it'd only be for a moment.

"It'll also make things easier for me," Marco mumbled after you passed out.
