A/N: Oh I do love Paulie! Okay minors, don't read, even though I know you will, saving my own ass here! Enjoy!
The sun turned the pool tiles to mirrors and the water to a blue so bright it felt like it could sing. Laughter skimmed the surface, Usopp shrieked as Luffy kicked water at him for the fifth time, Chopper's high pitched "Woah!" that was half delight, half a plea to please stop splashing him too.
The smell of salt and fresh cut timber drifted in from the docks below, and a few people were missing from this celebration, somewhere inside Galley-La
You had commandeered a sunbed and stretched yourself out like a cat. The bikini you'd found in a shop near the canal was brighter than the water and pretty shameless. You wore it because it felt good, you liked the sun on your skin after so much time spent fighting.
Sanji arrived with a tray like he was making an offering to a goddess, tall glasses dripping with condensation, a plate of fruit sliced into precise fans, a dish of something that looked too fancy for pirates.
"For you, mademoiselle" he crooned, kneeling so low you thought he'd bow to the tiles. "And if there's anything else I can bring, anything-". "Stop hovering" Nami shooed without looking up from her sunbed. "You're blocking my sun".
Sanji burst into hearts and skittered sideways, fanning you both with the edge of the tray. "Of course! The sun should worship you, not the other way around! Here, let me-".
"Hey!" Zoro growled, eyes closed beneath one forearm as the sun's reflection off the tray temporarily blinded him. "Quit bouncing that light at my face". Sanji turned, immediately ticked off.
Meanwhile, Usopp was having problems too. He leaned over the pool edge, elbows on the stone. "Luffy, if you splash me again, I swear I'll-" he was met with a big splash.
Usopp performed a very theatrical death, sliding limp into the water. Chopper gasped and jumped in after him, flailing, he forgot he couldn't swim.. Luffy laughed so hard he nearly fell in after him. The afternoon felt giddy and a little stupid in the way that good afternoons often do.
You tilted your face to the sun and sighed. You were still sore in places that didn't show, still patching over the little tears in your steadiness with laughter and fruit and cold water, but the light helped. The sound of your family helped.
You didn't hear Paulie at first. "You call this a celebration?" he barked, and there he was, broad shouldered and disgruntled, a length of coil rope looped across one shoulder like a sash. His goggles were pushed up into his hair, and he had a harried expression.
"There are innocent bystanders! Children! Craftsmanship! And you!". He had spotted Nami. Nami glanced up over her sunglasses, one brow arching as if to say I dare you.
"Oh, for the love of, put some clothes on!" Paulie threw both hands into the air. "This isn't some... some indecency festival! People are working nearby! You'll cause accidents!"
