Luffy x isakai Girl

Letting go

     Writer's note: Merry Christmas! Didn't think I would finish this chapter on Christmas but here you guys go! Hope you enjoy!

    "Awe man, this is great, Franky!" I said, walking into the new room he had made.

    It was nice and simple, just like the other bedrooms. He had built a whole new vanity dresser as well as a big wardrobe, as opposed to the lockers of the other rooms, as well as a dresser for any other garments.

    I couldn't help but grin as a portal opened up, plopping my bed onto the carpet with a loud thud. It was definitely going to be nice, sleeping in my bed again. Though I knew my mom would be a little sad that she couldn't steal it away from me.

   "Thought you might like this." Kramer said, plopping down on the bed.

    "Do you mind doing that with all our other stuff too?" I laughed. "Definitely seems convenient."

    "No way! I still have to have enough energy to cross over MULTIPLE times in a couple days. Especially now that you guys have a wedding to attend."

    Luffy groaned. "Ughhh! Do I have to go?!"

    "What?!" Misaki snapped.

     "Luffyyy, bro!" Franky chided, wagging his finger. "Even a hard boiled man like myself knows you can't go complaining about that."

     "Franky's right, dude." Kramer said, cringing.

     "Thank you." Misaki said, sighing heavily. "Luffy. Why don't you want to go?"

     Luffy sat down on the bed, crossing his legs with his hands in between them, as if he were 5 years old. A big pout formed at the bottom of his lip, as an annoyed growl ripped from his throat.

    Anxiety crept up my neck. It swirled around, leaving a pit in my stomach as the wind began to rattle things around in the room. Is he really that annoyed? Suddenly, Luffy's expression changed.

    "You know what? I bet it will be fun! It's just a big party, right?"

    "Well... after the vows... that can take a while." I said hesitantly.

    "And then we can eat?" Luffy said.

    "There will definitely be food!" I said, feeling a little less anxious.

    "Will there be dancing?" Luffy asked, eyeing me curiously.

     "Yes!"

     "Will you go in a pretty dress?" He said, a grin pulling up at the corners of his mouth.

     "Not as pretty as the bride's!" I giggled.

     "No. You're always the prettiest one." Luffy said confidently, making me laugh. "I'm serious."

     "Yeah yeah, I know, Luffy." I chuckled. "So does that mean you'll go?"

      Luffy stood up, cupping my face with his hands. "For you? Anything."

     "Gag. Get a room, you two." Kramer teased, pretending to let it dawn on him that we had, in fact, finally gotten a room. "Oh yeah. That's right. Franky! Let's let the two lovebirds have their moment."

And just like that, we were alone. Luffy was still cupping my face, staring at me with intent. The intensity of his stare was enough to make any girl blush. Especially me.

"Misaki?" He asked, his eyebrows furrowing.

"Yes?" I said, feeling a little breathless.

"Why are you so pretty?" He said, completely serious. So much so, it made me laugh.
