Luffy And Uta's Night Alone.

[This was a request from @Direct7Sample.]

I DO NOT OWN ONE PIECE
~________________________________________~

"Pst! Luffy!" Uta whispers, shaking him gently.

"Wha- Huh?" Luffy snorts, waking up.
"What is it, Uta?"

"I'm cold, so can you cuddle me?" She openly asks.

Luffy rolls over and hugs Uta without question as he is too tired to comprehend. He rests his head against Uta's face. Her heart starts pounding, and her cheeks flush.

"This better?"

"Mhm! Thanks!"

Subconsciously, Luffy moves his arms to her waist. Uta could feel her whole body thumping against Luffy's muscular self. She gulped down her excitement and shakily returned the embrace.

""H-Hey Luffy?"

"Yeah?"

"How do you plan on taking down an Emperor of the Sea? Aren't they like super strong?"

"Do you not believe in me and my friends? That's pretty hurting coming from you, don't you think?"

That stately stung Uta's heart. The way she said that implied she didn't believe in him!?

"Of course I do! And I'll fight alongside you! It's just... I'm scared. I thought fighting the big guys was going to be fun, but just seeing how even his crewmates cower at his name isn't very assuring. You know?" Uta sighs.

"Yeah, I do. I might look all tough on the outside, but I'm still scared senseless. We either come out dead or beaten to the brink of it." He answers.

Uta can feel his heart pounding slightly faster, and his grip tightened around her waist.

"And if something bad were to happen to my friends or my crewmates. It would have all been my fault. But if you got hurt or dead even, I couldn't call myself a captain anymore." Luffy dreadfully admits, slowly crying.

Luffy brings his leg over Uta's, pulling her in entirely.

"If I lost you, how can I ever call myself a great pirate if I couldn't even protect my best friend?"

Uta could feel herself sadden at Luffy's words. She was only hearing the surface of how much Luffy treasured her, yet it still hurt to see him like this.

"But you're here and okay, and that's all that matters to me!"

Uta blushed heavily at the comment. She knew Luffy had feelings for her, but she didn't expect this much. She was letting Luffy say his thoughts out loud and was letting him hug her as tightly as he needed. Uta had a bubble of questions she wanted to ask, but she was afraid Luffy would react in a negative way.

A few minutes go by, and Luffy moves a little. 'Accidentally', he moved his arms up to her back, so Uta's chest squished against his.

"Why are you just the best? You know what I want, and you're doing it without me saying anything."

Uta breaks the train. A new mindset of hers appeared.

"Why am I letting Luffy be the one to do this? I should be!"

Uta moves her right thigh between Luffy's legs. He was so tired, he hadn't noticed.

"Luffy..." Her heart began pounding against the walls of her chest.

"What is wro -"

Uta kisses Luffy affectionately, not letting go. She begins to twist her body slowly. She takes off her clothing one by one and strips Luffy down, too. They go at it all night, falling asleep after redressing.
