Breakfast was awkward, to say the least. The boys hardly looked up from their plates, and if they did it was the exchange looks with each other. You took a bite out of the burnt pancakes, you were just going to throw them out but Sabo looked a little guilty for burning them so you'd power through it. Garp watched you eat the pancake and sighed.
"(Name)" He started, you glanced over to him before looking back at the charcoal on your plate. "If they were three normal children, then I wouldn't be worried about you raising them..." You frowned before taking another bite. "But all three of them have fruit powers...you yourself should know how troublesome it can be." "Then I should be better off than someone who has no understanding about their powers." You looked up from your plate, narrowing your gaze at the old man.
"But three at once, and two Logia, the same power even." He said pointing his fork at Ace and Sabo. "That doesn't bother me. Want some more coffee, Shanks?" You changed the topic, he just nods. "Not going to say anything?" "Not my business.." "Your the one who came here knowing Garp was here..." He looked over to join a grinned, "Just making sure he doesn't leave with them." "So that would make this your business..." He just looks over at Luffy, "Good pancakes, right?" "Y-yup!"Luffy answers back, shoving a forkful in his mouth, then chews them slowly, glancing nervously at his grandfather.
You sigh and glare at the old man. "Get out." "What?" he looks at you shocked. "They arn't eating the way they like because of you so get out." You said pointing towards the direction of the front door. "But I-" "No buts mister get out, you over stayed your welcome, and have been quite rude!" you hear Shanks laugh, glancing at him he covers his mouth with his hand. Garp looks at you shocked and starts laughing. "There you go, there's some backbone!" You glare at him, "I'm serious, I'd like their first breakfast here to be decent, but with you here they are just nervous!" You start to raise you voice and he puts up his hands defensively. "Alright alright..." He says getting up, still chuckling to himself. "Alright boys, I expect you to want to behave, and (Name) you better raise them to be policemen!" He says walking out.
You hear the front door close and you scoff, "Ain't no way in hell anyone in this house becomes a policeman is that understood?" The three boys look at you and grin, "Okay!" Shanks starts laughing, "Your raising delinquents? " "Hell yeah!" You grin.
The rest of breakfast was nice. Afterwards you ere washing the dishes as the boy's explored the house, Luffy kept coming into the kitchen to ask questions. "How big is this house? "" Why don't you go walk around and find out?" "How old are you?" "twenty." "Do you know how old I am?" "Seven." "Do you have a job?" "Yes, I work at a cafe." "Do you have work today?" "No, I have a few days off so I can be with you guys." You smile at him, "Are you married?" "Nope." "Do you have a boyfriend?" "Nope.." "What do I call you?" "(Name)" "Your not going to make me call you mom?" You laugh lightly, "No, that's your choice."
He keeps asking you questions, some about Law, who he meet yesterday. Some about how I knew his Grandfather, which was because you got into a lot of trouble as a kid, which is why you know most of your friends now, including the man who just walked into the kitchen. "forgot to put the cup in the sink." Shanks said putting the cup in the soapy dishwater, you mock being angry. "Just bringing more in here for me to clean, gosh!" You pout, before laughing. "Sooorry." He responds walking back out the room, Luffy follows him.
Ace walks in and sits on the stool Luffy was on and stares at you. "What is is Tsuntsun?" You asked, he glares at you. "Don't call me that!" "Alright alright, what do you want?" You laugh, drying off your hands. "Why did you adopt us?" "Why shouldn't have I?" He frowns at you, you sigh and walk over to him, "Come on, lets go get your brothers and go out." "Where?" "I don't know, somewhere I guess." He stares at you, "Your weird."
You laugh, "Yeah I guess I am..." You walk into the living room where Luffy was talking to Shanks. "Where's Sabo?" "Over here." You hear him running down the steps. "Did you guys pick your rooms yet?" All three of them look away from you, you laugh. "It's alright you don't have to pick one right now. Anyways lets go." They look at you confused, "Let's go out, can't do much at home so where do you guys want to go?" "The park!" Luffy shouts jumping up, the other two quickly agree. "Okay okay, and what about you, sir. Your not staying here I hope." You said turning to Shanks who just laughs, "No no, I have to go actually." "Aww..." Luffy pouts, Shanks pats his head. "See yah, thanks for breakfast!" He says walking out with a small wave.
"Why did he even come today...It's like he wanted to be introduced or something..." "What?" Ace asks looking up at you, "Nothing nothing, I think I heard the fourth wall cracking..." He looks at you confused. You start laughing, "Come on guys lets go, I'm hoping to get you to meet some friends of mine today anyways."
