One Piece Birthday's

Killer

"No," You tell him in annoyance. Kid chuckles and Killer's shoulders droop.
"Then why did you ask?" Killer inquires. You put your hands on his shoulders, still annoyed.
"Because I was hoping you'd give me a challenge!" You snap, roughly shaking him, nearly making him fall off the stool he was perched on. You suddenly release him and take off your apron.
"Wait, ___, where are you going?" Kid speaks up.
"I'm going for a drink, figure out dinner yourselves," You sigh hanging up your apron before heading out. Why were you so mad? You weren't entirely sure but it was definitely Killer's fault. You've always been nice to the masked man, hell, you went out of your way for him a few times. So, why did it seem like you're the only one on the crew who hasn't seen his face? You kick over a barrel before hopping off the ship.
"___?" Heat calls in surprise at your uncharacteristic actions. You barely heard him, fuming with annoyance. Geez, why is he so cute with the damn mask on!? You just wanted to take a peek under his mask. You were not the type to cross lines like that. You were usually quite patient when it came to things like this. But then he said...

'You know ___, I'm so glad you joined the crew, it's say easy to relax with you..'

You stop and sigh before carrying on. If he felt at ease around you then why wear the mask? Did you have to do something special to see under it? Should you ask? No, that felt like crossing a line. You reach the tavern and had who knows how man drinks, sulking at the counter for maybe an hour or something. A familiar masked man sits beside you. You look straight at the mask and release a heavy sigh before grabbing your drink before moving to the very end of the counter. Killer gives an 'what did I do?' gesture before taking the only seat next to you.
"___, what's wrong? Why are you so mad?" He asks as you put your chin on the countertop with another sigh.
"Not mad... Annoyed... And maybe a little hurt..." You grumble. Killer pauses, not used to seeing you so down since you always lit up and smiled around him.
"Then, what has you so annoyed?" He inquires. You reach up without lifting your head and tap the front of his mask.
"That," You answer when he pauses.
"My mask? You're not annoyed that we almost forgot your birthday?" He hurts. You sit up, blinking a few times before turning to him in slight confusion.
"My birthday?.... Oh shit... Haha..." You trail off, starting to laugh. You were so hooked up on his mask that you had forgotten your own birthday!
"Wait... You were annoyed with my mask this whole time and forgot your birthday?" He huffs. You give a sheepish nod and he lets out a breath, putting a hand over his mask. He stands up. "Come on then Forgetful, lets go back to the ship," He says with some amusement.
"Kay." You chuckle, getting up and staggering into him.
"Youre drunk aren't you?" He guesses.
"No, this is how I always walk," You joke. He shakes his head and puts an arm around you to keep you steady. You put an arm around his neck for support as you both head for the ship.
"You don't like my mask?" He asks suddenly.
"I like it... I'm just jealous that everyone else gets to see under it," You grumble, jealous was the right word right?
"Oh... And you thought asking would cross a line," He states. He knew you so well.
"Yep," You agree.
"Then I'll show you after this," He decides simply as you get onto deck.
"Really? Wait.. What is 'this' that you're talking about?" You ask warily. He chuckles and leads you into the kitchen.
"HAPPY BIRTHDAY ___!!" The crew cheers. You let out a laugh, feeling really happy they remembered.
"Glad you guys remembered," You comment.
"Wait... You forgot your own birthday?" Kid says in confusion. "Then what was that about-"
"Forget it. LETS PARTY!!"

Killer has to carry you into your room, both of you were laughing uncontrollably as he sets you down. You blink up at his mask and frown suddenly. Killer of course notices. "Take it off if it bothers you," He murmurs. You blink in surprise.
"Are you sure?" You ask, starting to reach for the mask.
"Yeah... You know, it's okay to be dominate sometimes," He replies. You smile a bit and start to undo the straps and remove the mask. You set it down before looking at his face.
"No way..." You breathe. He pauses, blue eyes blinking in confusion.
"What?" He asks with a slight frown and a blush on his slightly scarred cheeks. You grab his face and he stiffens, eyes widening slightly, face flushing.
"You've been hiding this?! But you're so-" You break yourself off, finally realizing what you were doing. Before you can take away your hands and apologize, he speaks up.
"So what?" He asks carefully, still blushing heavily. You blink starting to blush as you remember what you had been about to say.
"So.... H-Handsome...." You stammer, retreating your hands and looking down. You crossed a line. He will retreat now. You close your eyes, listening for him to leave. However, you didn't hear anything. You peek up at his face and lift your head in amazement. He was grinning like an idiot, it was a sight that made you oddly happy. You start to laugh which drags him into laughter too. After a bit, the laughter dies down and you both sit there smiling and looking into eachother's eyes. Finally you take his face into your hands and lean in, pressing your lips against his. He smiles at the fact that you had made the move on your own. He kisses back softly. You pull back after a few blissful seconds and he gives you another grin before giving you another swift kiss.
"Happy Birthday ___."
