Smoker x Marine!Reader || Shy Confessions

You and Tashigi were best friends, both of you serving under Smoker. She knew of your inappropriate crush, constantly teasing you about it whenever he wasn't around to hear. You weren't normally shy but whenever you spoke or interacted with the Vice Admiral it was a completely different person.

Every day was a battle between the two of you, as she constantly tried to convince you to confess to him- no matter how much you protested. "It's not right! Plus I doubt he even sees me the same way!"

Rolling her eyes the two of you argued back and forth in the cafeteria of the base, both of you off duty today. "You won't know unless you try!" Shaking your head, you ran your fingers through your hair nervously. 

"It's a straight road to getting demoted and I worked too hard to get here." Shaking her head she grabs your hands, trying her hardest to give you confidence.

"I've seen the way he looks at you! You will be fine, stop worrying!" As if on cue, Smoker walked up from behind you overhearing your conversation. 

"Worry about what?" His gruff voice sent shivers down your spine, your cheeks turned bright red at your surprise guest. You gave Tashigi a look, telling her to lie, but a wicked smile graced her lips as she removed her hands from yours. 

"(Your Name), is worried that the guy she likes won't like her back." You couldn't see the Vice Admiral's face but you did hear a small grunt leave his lips as his hand patted your head. 

"Well, he'd be an idiot not to. " Was all that was said as he soon walked away, the breath you were holding now released as you glared at your bigmouth of a friend. 

"Do you want to die?!" You whisper yelled at her while she started to laugh, grabbing your hands excitedly. 

"You should have seen his face! He was definitely jealous." Your cheeks darkened and you shook your head, standing up from the table ready to head back to your room to go change - the two of you had plans to train today. 

"You're delusional, I'll see you later." She tried to protest but you were already out the door, excited to get payback during your training session.

The walk to your room was quick, ignoring the glances of some of the marines since they seemed a little too fond of you. Changing into a sports bra and a pair of shorts you looked at yourself in the mirror, unsure if you should change into something else. Shaking off your thoughts you knew that training made you warm, so the less clothing the better. Grabbing your sword you made your way to the training room, seeing only your Vice Admiral. 

"Smoker?" The male turned around, the same serious look on his face as he looked down at you. "Have you seen Tashigi? We're supposed to train?" You heard a giggle in the doorway along with footsteps quickly walking away, you realized you were set up. 

"Hm? Oh, she said she was busy, and I don't mind sparring with you." Shaking your head you facepalmed, knowing that rejecting his offer would make you look more suspicious. Sighing you pointed your finger at him while you grabbed the hilt of your sword. 

"That's fine, but no devil fruit powers." He rolled his eyes at your demand as he nodded in agreement, grabbing his sword as well. Luckily the room was empty as the two of you fought, Smoker was not easy on you as you quickly grew tired of fighting against such force. 

His swings were brutal, you barely dodged them, getting small cuts here and there as he continued to back you into a corner. Landing a lucky hit you were able to break free of his entrapment as you made your way back into an open space, "You're a lot better than the last time we fought." His small talk was meant to distract you and you fell for it. 

"Well, I would hope so" You flashed him a smile as you continued to attack, "If we keep going against stronger enemies I have to get stronger too." Once again he backed you into a corner, his sword barely clipped your cheek as you winced at the slight sting. This time you put your hands up in surrender, dropping your sword to the ground as the Vice Admiral smirked down at you. 

His rough hand held your cheek, inspecting the cut he made, your face getting redder by the second. He mumbled a small apology, your flustered state making you unable to respond as he put his weapon away. "So? Who is this mystery man?" 

You raised your eyebrow at the man, his interest in your love life reminding you of what Tashigi said. "It's just a stupid crush, it's not a big deal."  His eyes followed your every move as you wiped your sweat off with a towel, chugging a glass of water. 

"They make you weak, those feelings." Your heart shrunk a little, you knew he was right but it's not like you could help it. 

"Well, I guess I'm weak." You flashed him a small smile as you were ready to head back to your room and hunt down the woman who put you in this situation in the first place. Smoker's hand grabbed your arm as he pulled you towards him and pinned you to the wall. 

"So? Who's this person making you weak?" His eyes were unreadable, too many emotions swirling around at once, your eyes were unable to maintain eye contact. 

Your anxiety increased, your face bright red as you stumbled over your words, "It's not-" You flinched at his angry stare, he could tell when you were lying. Words wouldn't form as you continued to stutter, unsure of what you should tell him. You hated being put on the spot like this. 

"Why are you so em-" Your eyes squeezed shut as you cut him off,

"It's you!" Your words were loud but they slurred together due to how nervous you were about confessing. His loud laugh filled the room as you shrunk against the wall even more, running his hand through his hair while he shook his head. 

"I was jealous of myself." Your eyes met his once he said that, his normally serious face held a very light blush and a small grin. You continued to play with your hands, now that you had both confessed what happens now? His hand once more patted your head, his tall figure towered over your smaller frame. He leaned down, pressing a small kiss to your forehead - his soft side showing.

Wanting to test your luck, you grabbed the collar of his jacket and pulled him down to your level, slamming your lips onto his. Your shyness melted away at his own confession, feeling much more confident in your actions. His hands rested against the wall on either side of your head, a smile apparent on your face when you pulled away.

Seeing the black-haired girl's head peeking around the corner, you ran away from the white-haired man and chased after her. Before rounding the corner you paused, looking back at the man who you just confessed to, "Come by my room later" with a smile on your face as you chased after your annoying best friend.
