Shanks arrived not long after you called him. And as soon as he stepped through the door he was tackled by the rubber kid.
"Shaaaaaaanks!" Luffy screams while latching onto the mans waist. Shanks picks him up while laughing.
"Heya Luffy how was school?" He asks, the boy pouts, only making the man laugh more.
"I'll take that as a, you didn't like it very much, huh?" He says while laughing.
"Hey!" You greet him while being dragged to the door by the other two.
"Let's go!" Luffy cheers before Shanks can say anything else. And without another word, mostly laughter, you all head into the car.
It was about a twenty five minute drive, and the whole time Luffy talked to Shanks, you and the other two exchanged looks and snickered at Luffy's endless chatter. By the time you reached there you were ready to go home. The boy's hopped out the car and into the store before you even set both of your feet on the ground outside.
"My god....they are so fast..." You sigh standing up, your only twenty years old and they made you feel even older. Shanks laughs at you.
"Nah, everyone was like that at their age..." He laughs when you glare at him.
"I'm only twenty..." You huff as he just laughs a bit harder at your expression.
"Aw.. already worrying if you’re getting old?" He teases, you just huff again and walk into the store. Leaving the redhead laughing behind you.
You enter the store and look around, it had been awhile sense you've been here, your last bed was ordered online. You walked to the kids sections, hoping this is where they ran off too. But you sighed when you saw only Sabo was there.
"Where are they?" You ask him, he looks up at you and shrugs.
"Luffy ran off in a random direction because he didn't know where to go and Ace went to go catch him." He states before turning back to the beds, trying to pick one.
You sigh, he wasn’t going to be of much help, you turn around and start to wander the store. Where could they be..? You see Shanks out of the corner of your eye and walk over to him.
“I lost them…” You sigh and he starts laughing again.
“Already? That was quick, we just got here..” He says between bouts of laughter.
“Luffy got himself lost and Ace is hunting for him…” You sigh again, this was going to be a normal thing wasn’t it. You walked down an isle full of pillows, you immediately notice the anomaly.
There was a large pile of pillows in the center of the isle, it looked something like a fort. You immediately walk over and start picking up the pillows, placing them back onto the shelves.
“Awww…(Name) I was playing with that!” You hear Luffy cry when you destroy his roof.
“Luffy…We don’t own this, you can’t just build a fort out of it.” You said while picking up a few more, you hear someone behind you cough. You turn around and see a store worker, he is glaring at Luffy and then at you.
“I’m picking them up…sorry about this.” You said, picking up some more. Luffy huffs and sits on the floor with his arms crossed, pouting. You look at him pleadingly.
“Luffy please…” You beg, but he just huffs and turns away from you, ahh where were his brothers when you needed them?
“If this one is yours I assume the one that fell asleep in the queen sized beds area is also yours?” You hear the man say, you cringe slightly.
“Aaaaaaaace….” You whine while putting the last of the pillows up. Luffy starts giggling at you and gets up and runs off.
“Luffy!” You call after him, he turns the corner and you start to go after him but the store worker coughs again.
“Ma’am, control your children.” He says rudely, you glare at him.
“What the hell does it look like I’m trying to do!?” You hiss before running after Luffy.
You turn the corner but you don’t see him, stupid store clerk…
You start walking between the isles, looking for the rubber kid. You find yourself in the queen bed section and decide to look for Ace, and it didn’t take you long.
“Shaaap!” You hear him yell, you turn a corner and see one of the clerks holding him up by the back of his shirt. He is glaring at them while screaming.
“Puu me douhn!” He yells trying to get away, he sees you and reaches out to you. You walk over and take him from the clerk, who glares at you. You hold onto Ace and glare at the clerk.
“Yeah yeah, control them. Whatever I have a rubber kid to find!” You said walking off, Ace sticks his tongue out at the clerk while you walk away.
You walked over to the kids section to see that Shanks was helping Sabo pick out a bed, they both turn to you when you walk up. You put Ace down and look at the bed Sabo was looking at.
“I like this one!” He says grinning, you give him a small smile.
“Okay! Then you can go pick out two pillows and some sheets, Ace.” You said turning to the oldest, who looks up at you.
“Pick out your bed and do the same, I still have to find Luffy…” You sigh, turning and walking into another isle.
After ten minutes you were starting to worry, what the hell was this kid doing.
“Luffy?” You start calling out for him, and after ten more minutes you were getting antsy.
“Luffy!?” You call out louder, you past a store clerk who looks at you when you call for him again.
“Is something wrong miss?” She asks, you turn to her and frown.
“I can’t find my youngest…” You admitted, she looked around with a slight worried expression.
“I’ll go to the front desk and call him over the intercom…” She says before walking away, you go back to looking for the kid.
“Luuuuffy!” You call out again, you pass the kids section again and the two boys run up to you.
“You haven’t found him?” Sabo asks, looking mildly worried. Ace was frowning which only worsened when you nodded.
“I have no idea where he ran off to…” You sigh before running down the next few isles.
“Luuuuuffyyyyy!” You yelled, you hear them call him over the intercom, but still no one could find him. You hear his brothers start to call out for him, which only made you worry more. Where did he run off to?
You see Shanks and walk over to him.
“Have you seen him..?” You ask hopefully, but he shakes his head and frowns.
“I’m sure he’s fine, he is probably just hiding somewhere…” He says, walking down an isle while calling for him.
“Luffy…”You whisper his name while looking around at the store, sure it was big but they should have seen him by now.
