Philophobia Benn Beckman x Reader

Philophobia is the fear of love. That was what you had. You could handle anything but the thought of falling in love made you shudder. You walked through the streets of pink and red. It was Valentine's Day. It was your nightmare. You quickly walked through the streets to the bar where you worked. Once you arrived, you realized that the bar was way more lively than normal. You blinked, humming gently, before making your way to the bar and putting your apron on.

"(Y/N), Happy Valentines Day," Your co-worker said, and you flinched.

"Yeah, yeah, whatever, don't start, please." You practically begged. He laughed and pushed you into the area.

"Take care of the red hair pirates, please."

"Okay, Alec, only because you asked, and it's not part of my job." You said sarcastically, and he grinned, pushing you towards the table. The Captain was laughing at both of you.

"She is cute," Shanks mumbled to Alec, and Alec chuckled softly.

"Don't tell her that. She is very weird. She has Philophobia."

"Philo, what?" Shanks asked, taking a drink from his Sake.

"Philophobia, the fear of love."

"Ah, so Valentine's Day is her nightmare."

"You have no idea."

"Poor Benn," Shanks said, glancing at his first mate, watching your every move.

"Why do you say that?"

"Benn saw her a couple of days ago and fell completely over. He couldn't stop talking about her after seeing her." Shanks said, laughing loudly. Alec chuckled, watching the interaction between you and the men of Shank's crew.

"Okay, so 4 barrels of sake, several meat racks?" You repeated the order, and they all nodded.

"Okay, seems good I will be back with it." You said and began to walk away.

"Wait. Uhm, water too." Benn said, and you turned around.

"Would you like lemon with that?"

"Yes..." Benn said, blinking, and the crew around him smirked. You walked away, going to grab the Sake and meat. You managed to balance all the trays of meat when Alec brought out the barrels of Sake. You set it down and handed Benn the water. Benn smiled at you, and you smiled back slightly before walking away. Benn grabbed your hand slightly, humming, with his cigarette in his mouth.

"Can I help you?"

"I was wondering what are you doing for Valen~."

"No."

"What?"

"I know what you are going to ask. Please don't." You said, shaking slightly and walking away quickly, taking your arm away from him. He blinked and frowned slightly, and you walked back into the kitchen, touching your chest. Alec sighed and walked to Benn to explain the issue to him.

"Hey, Benn, don't take it personally, as I was telling your CaptainCaptain she has Philophobia which is the fear of love. So she is scared of becoming close to people on Valentine's Day. She doesn't want to go on dates or dates." Alec said, and everyone was quiet. Benn nodded his head in understanding.

"How can I get her to come around?"

"That I can't help you with. She never dated since I have known her."

"I see. Well, I won't stop until I get to know her. I just have to take it slow with her." Benn said, leaning back.

"Leave it to a pirate to be stubborn. A red hair pirate at that." Alec teased, and he laughed softly with the rest of the crew.
