A/N: This is a hecker oh my!! Sorry it's 3 days late but I hope when reading you'll understand why it took me so long.

Here's who we ended up with. Penguin and Shachi. Marco and Izou. Roger and Rayleigh. Corazon and Doflamingo. Kid and Killer. Hope you enjoy!! All my love xoxo



Penguin and Shachi
The fluorescent lights hummed their usual monotonous tune as you stared down at the cleaning supplies in your hands, barely suppressing a groan. Of all the days to draw toilet duty, it had to be today, when your eyes felt like they'd been rolled in sand and your body moved through molasses.

The submarine's corridor stretched before you, and you knew behind each of those doors waited another porcelain nightmare. "Well well well, what did you do to piss the Captain off so bad?". You didn't need to turn around to know who it was. Shachi's voice carried that particular brand of gleeful schadenfreude that loved to come out when someone else was suffering.

"Seriously" he continued, and you could hear the grin in his voice. "Toilet duty? That's like, reserved for people who accidentally surface the sub in a Marine base or something".

You finally turned to find both Shachi and Penguin approaching. Shachi wore his usual infuriating smile, while Penguin's expression was considerably more concerned beneath the brim of his hat.

"You look tired" Penguin observed, his voice softer than Shachi's teasing tone. His eyes studied your face with the kind of attention that made you suddenly self conscious of the bags under your eyes, and the way you were probably swaying slightly on your feet.

You shifted the bucket of cleaning supplies to your other hip. "Yeah, just... didn't sleep well". You tried to inject some energy into your voice, but even to your own ears it fell flat. "It's fine though. Just gotta power through, right?"

"Pfft, sucks for you" Shachi teased, leaning against the wall with his arms crossed, there wasn't any real malice in it, this was just how he was. Everything was a joke, everything was an opportunity for a quip. "I slept like a baby. Had this dream about a restaurant that only served-"

"I can help". Penguin's offer cut through Shachi's rambling, and you blinked at him in surprise. He had already moved closer, reaching for the mop in your hand before you could protest. Your brain finally caught up, "You don't have to-"

"It'll go faster" Penguin said simply, as if it were the most obvious thing in the world. "You shouldn't have to do this alone when you're exhausted". There was something in the way he said it, the matter of fact kindness, that made your chest feel warm despite your fatigue.

Penguin was always like this, not always just with you, but you'd noticed he seemed to go out of his way more often when it came to you. Extra portions of your favourite foods when it was his turn to help in the galley. Remembering how you took your coffee. Small things that added up.

Shachi's expression shifted, his smirk faltering for just a moment. You watched something flicker across his face, annoyance? No, something else. He pushed off from the wall with perhaps a bit more force than necessary.

"Yeah, well, I guess I can help too" he announced, his tone trying for casual and landing somewhere in the vicinity of defensive. "I mean, three's better than two, right? We'll knock this out in no time".

You stared at him, genuinely surprised. Shachi volunteering for toilet duty was about as common as Law smiling at one of his terrible jokes, which was to say, it never happened. "Seriously?" you asked, unable to keep the skepticism out of your voice.
