Garp

I love this old man. Be quiet I can sense your judgment and disapproval. •^• fuk off m80 (p.p.s : not super over the top lovey, enjoy.)

You'd always see him watching you out of the corner of his eye, tracing over your body as if you'd done some form of treachery just by standing there beside him.

Sometimes when he'd walk by his arm would brush up against yours, sending a small electric shock up your back that made the hair on the back of your neck prick up.

Now you were standing outside his office, looking up at the door he was behind; most likely asleep.

You slipped inside and walked towards his desk where, not so oddly enough, his face was planted into the wooded surface.

You leaned forward and outstretched your hand, running your fingers through his gray hair.

He shifted beneath your fingertips, a snore sounding through the quiet as a smile graced your face.

"If only I could tell you how much I really want you."

You sighed quietly, gingerly tipping his head up and pressing a gentle kiss to his forehead.

His head fell forward, a thump ringing out as you flinched at the sound.

"Love you Garp..."

The next day when the old man awoke, his head was thumping as he groaned.

"I fell asleep at my desk again..great...that's not helping my back.."

He stood from his chair, a resounding crack running up his spine as he bent back slightly.

"Oh..I'm too old for this.."

He rubbed down the center of his back, making his way to the doors that separated him from the hallway.

As soon as he opened the door, subordinates greeted him left and right.

"Morning Garp sir!"
"Mighty fine weather Vice Admiral!"
"Nice to see you up Sir!"

This continued down the hall into the galley, grabbing one of the breakfast trays and chowing down right then and there.

"Vice admiral Garp sir, fleet admiral Akainu would like to know if you're done with your paperwork."

He cast his glance down to a small figure, his eyes skimming over her little stature.

"Miss Y/n, great to hear you speaking to me again-"
"I am merely doing what the fleet admiral said, he specifically asked me to check up on your work."

Her eyes looked into his, her face expressionless against his.

"Well, if you do so ask me, I have the majority done-"
"So you're not completely finished?"
"No-"
"Then that is all I need to know, thank you vice admiral."

He watched her turn on her heel and walk out of the packed room.

He let his wander back to the food in his palms, quickly discarding it as he walked out after her quietly.

He pressed himself against the wall as she stepped forward into the so called 'fleet admirals' office.

He leaned in towards the door and listened in.

"Did you ask him L/n?"
"Yes Akainu sir, he said he had the majority of it completed, but did not have all of it done."
"Mm, figures with him."

A small hum sounding after his say made him frown, his eyebrow raised.

"Of course Sir."
"Please do inform him that he has one day left to get that into me, or there will be consequences."
"Yes Sir."
"And please, L/n, look after him. I can't have him ruining the reputation of the marines because he can't file simple paperwork."
"Yes Sir, I will make sure that all of his documents are in place by tomorrow evening."
"Good girl, maybe if this attitude proceeds, I can appoint you to a vice admiral to serve under me."
"It would be an honor Akainu sir."
