The Winemaker's Nanny (Mihawk X Reader)

Chapter 7 : Of Course

Chapter 7 : Of Course

Emerging from the depths of sleep, you stretched languidly, a wide yawn escaping as you greeted the new day.

The previous day had been exhaustingly productive, filled with the satisfying accomplishment of tasks and the promise of a well-structured future.

You had eagerly anticipated continuing the shopping spree with Mihawk, exploring aisles and picking out necessities that would transform the new house into a home.

However, his obligations had called him away, a reminder of the balancing act between personal endeavors and professional responsibilities.

He had assured you, with a tone of regret and determination, that your joint venture would resume the following day.

The tranquility of the morning was punctuated by a familiar, rhythmic snoring.

You couldn't help but let out a soft chuckle as you turned, the sight greeting you bringing an immediate warmth to your heart.

There was Luffy, your brother, nestled close beside you, seeking comfort in your presence even in sleep.

It was a habit of his, born out of a dislike for solitude during the night's silent hours, leading him to seek refuge by your side.

And there he lay, utterly at peace, the occasional snort bubble adding a touch of humor to the serene scene.

Luffy's untroubled slumber, marked by the innocent snore and the gentle rise and fall of his chest, served as a silent reminder of the simple joys and responsibilities of your role in his life.

The moment captured the essence of familial bonds, underscored by the unspoken understanding and deep-seated comfort found in each other's presence.

Given that it was the weekend, a pause in the usual hustle and bustle of school routines, you saw an opportunity for a special day ahead.

Luffy, with no academic obligations to tie him down for the day, might enjoy a change of scenery.

The idea of inviting him to accompany you to work sparked in your mind, promising a blend of adventure and companionship.

It was a chance to share a slice of your world with him, fostering memories outside the usual confines of home and school.

With this thought warming your heart, you gently nudged Luffy from his slumber.

"Luffy...oi~ Luffy, wake up~," you sang softly, infusing your voice with a coaxing melody, hoping to ease his transition from dreams to the waking world.

However, your attempt was met with a sleepy, muffled protest, his mind still ensnared by dreams of culinary delights.

"M-meatttt," he murmured, a single word testament to where his dreams had taken him, perhaps to lands abundant with his favorite feasts.

The innocence of his utterance couldn't help but draw laughter from you, a sound that seemed to act as a better wake-up call than any gentle coaxing could.

Stirred by the genuine joy in your laugh, Luffy's eyes fluttered open, gradually adjusting to the morning light and the sight of you beside him.

"Y/N Onee-chan?" he queried, his voice tinged with sleep but clear with recognition, the familiar and beloved title slipping out effortlessly.

"Hey there, Luffy, back to your old tricks, I see?"

You couldn't help but greet him with a small, affectionate smile, noting his penchant for seeking comfort in your presence during the night.
