One Piece x Reader (Short Stories)

Luffy x Reader: Blissful Wait

Clutching your stomach, you forcefully regurgitate once more into the toilet bowl. The sensation of your gut twisting intensifies, causing you to grip the rim of the bowl tightly. With great effort, you expel another surge of vomit, feeling completely drained of energy. Collapsing onto the floor, you lean against the bathtub, your body exhausted from the continuous vomiting. Gasping for breath, you lift your head up and wipe the remnants of the puke from your lips and chin using the back of your hand.

Seconds after taking a quick break, you slowly felt more calm in your abdomen, which let you regain your strength again. You carefully stood up as you held the corner of the tub, helping you to firmly put your feet to the ground. Slowly but surely, despite the wobbling sensation you feel in your vision, you clutched your hand on the lavatory sink, opening the faucet, and taking a pool of water using both of your hands. Splashing your face with it gave you a sense of relief and refreshment.

Even just for a little bit, you felt clean and relaxed again as the cold water embraced your face, waking you up in your fuzzy thoughts. You stared at yourself in the mirror for a second, squinting your eyes. You noticed the calendar hanging on the door. You quickly grabbed it, ripping it from the nail where it was hanging. Pointing your fingers at each number, you silently began to count. When you reach a certain date, your cheeks and ears become red and hot, and you are overwhelmed by a surge of emotions. "Shit. Shit. Fuckin' shit. Holy shit. Fuuuuuuck...." you continued to curse, muttering all the bad words that you have ever known since you were a kid.

Your body began to tremble, and your knees grew feeble. All you could do was lean against the door next to you and slowly slide down on the floor again. Uncertain of whether to cry or feel joy about the information before you that you just learned. Seconds after contemplating what to do. You decided that you would face and accept it, no matter what the outcome would be.

You crumpled the paper and threw it in the trash. Swiftly, you rose to your feet and once again examined yourself in the mirror. Clearing away the tears and grime from your face, you retrieved your baseball cap from its place atop the water closet's tank, and pulling the rope to flush your puke. Running your fingers through your wavy hair pulling it into a pony tail, you popped the cap on your head. Gazing intently at your reflection, you straightened your shirt, took a deep breath and then turned your worry into a big smile. Firmly gripping the door knob, you opened it. The sounds of laughter and singing engulfed your senses. You turned your face towards them, beaming. Gradually, you advanced towards them, one step at a time, until you joined their midst.

"Where are you going? It's dangerous out there!" Luffy yelled at you, following your steps as you walked towards the grass deck.

"I don't care! I don't want to see your face! You baby face jerk!" You yelled back at him, taking a quick glance at him, giving him a disgusted expression, and turning your head back to your path.

"Is that supposed to be an insult?" With a mischievous grin spread across his face, Zoro couldn't help but snicker at the comment you made, effortlessly leaping down from the railing.

"Shut up, Moss head!" You and Sanji exclaimed at Zoro at the same time, with your voices blending together in perfect synchrony.

"Ugh! I'm leaving and you can't stop me!" Getting your duffel bag already placed near the ramp of the ship.

"But (y/n), my dear, it's too late, and Luffy's right, it's too dangerous to leave the ship at this hour of the night, especially for a woman like you." Sanji approached you, steadily making his way in your direction, with an expression of concern etched on his face.
