Paulie X Reader

GreenR: so, I have good news, bad news and even worse news, which first?

Law: start with the worse

GreenR: I failed my Geography test. But I can retake it, so no end of the world.

Bad news are that I have two more tests this week, but it's alright.

And good news are that I bought myself "The Fault In Our Stars". I read it once in Estonian and watched the movie too, but it was loong time ago. And this book is breaking my heart. Again.

Law: you don't have a heart.

GreenR: yes I do.....just not at the moment.

Law: you lost it in a  poker game.

GreenR: but you were cheating so that doesn't count.

Oh and Halloween is coming! I think I'm gonna be a Japanese Pirate this year, just to have some fun. Is there anyone else who is just hyper excited about Halloween!?

☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆

You added another layer of lipgloss to your already sparkling lips and grabbed a plastic bag with bento boxes, heading out for the docks.

You felt a tingle of excitement in the pit of your stomach from the chance of pissing off Paulie again.

"Hello guys," you yelled to your boys and they came hurriedly out, all as hungry as a bunch of wolves.

"Hi Y/N," Hattori chirped while Lucci gave you kiss on the cheek and grabbed his lunch.

"By the way, no pickles today," you said as you handed out rest of the lunches, which got a chorus of mocking groans that made you grin wider.

"And seems that no clothes either," grim voice sounded from behind you.

"Well, if you want me to wear a winter coat, you must wait until winter, I'm afraid," you turned around and handed the last box to sulking red-face Paulie, who started stuffing his face right away.  You went and sat between Kaku and Lucci, holding Hattori on your arm and feeding him bread crumbs (I actually wrote beard crumbs first time, and it took me almost a minute to realise what was wrong).

"Thanks,'' started coming from the shipwrights who one by one finished their lunches and went back to their jobs. You gathered the boxes together and stuffed them back to your bag.

"Thanks," Paulie mumbled and gave you the box.

"Well, that's what I call a talent, you can say even 'thanks' the way other people accuse wanted criminals," you rolled your eyes, "wait you have something on here," you tapped the side of your chin. He wiped his face but few grains of rice remained.

"Let me help," you sighed and picked them off, standing on your toes, "done," he was even redder than before and turned away, mumbling something.

"Seriously, I don't get him at all," you groaned.

"What do you mean?" Hattori and Lucci were standing behind you.

"One moment he acts pretty normal, I mean, for him normal, and other he acts like I'm one of the seven deadly sins," you kicked a metal can on the floor so it flew against the wall.

"Maybe that's exactly how he sees you," Lucci shrugged and you laughed at that idea. Sure you were pretty and the revealing clothes you wore were only to anger and fluster Paulie, but to go as far as to call you a sin? No way. You kept laughing as you hugged Lucci for goodbye and walked away, still amused. And also not noticing Paulie looking after you, face grimaced in jealousy and his hand still on the place where you had touched him.

"You do know that you should treat her better if you want her to notice you, right?" Kaku asked him.

"What do you mean?" Was Paulie confused.

"Like, don't judge her appearance. And being kinder wouldn't hurt,"

"I am kind," Paulie mumbled while accidentally hitting his thumb with a hammer and swearing loudly.

"I meant by normal people's standards,"

"Oh,"

Next day

You had ripped your jeans into super short shorts and were wearing some shards of what had been a shirt before. When you were handing out the lunches today, you also noticed Paulie biting his lip as if to hold back few sarcasting and biting comments, and what a surprise, he managed it.

"Is Paulie alright?" You asked Kaku worriedly after everyone else had went back to their work.

"I think he's  trying to be nice to you," Kaku laughed, not having expected his words from last night to work such wonders.

"Him? Why?"

"I think he-"

"Kaku! Move it!" Someone yelled from the back and the shipwright ran already.

"And now I don't get any of them at all," you shrugged, walking away.

Next day

"Okay this is getting weird," you stood in front of Paulie, hands on your hips.

"What do you mean?" He stared into sky so you grabbed his chin to make him look you in the eye.

"You! You barely even talk to me, and you are turning normal! This is weird,"

"I'm just the way I always-"

"Bullshit," you cut in, "and now better tell me what's wrong with you, or tomorrow I'm parading here in my underwear to get a reaction out of you," you felt his face turning hotter and redder against your hand so you let go of him and wanted to turn around but he grabbed your hand, stopping you.

"No," he stuttered out.

"No what?"

"No. Don't come tomorrow," well that hurt, you thought.

"If that's all..." you motioned towards your hand, hinting him to let go.

"I-I didn't mean it like that! I meant that-uggghhhh, why is it so hard! I meant that I like you, okay? And I hope you didn't mean the part about parading seriously,"

"Why? You don't wanna see them?" You raised an eyebrow and leaned little closer to him.

"Oh I do, but I don't want others to see,"

"Oh okay, there goes my great plan," you mocked being hurt and swifted even closer so you were in his arms, "and I was so proud of it too,"

"Oh really?"

"Yap," you kissed his nose and backed off, waving him quickly, "see you later. You owe me a date for making me worry!"

"Sure," he chuckled but then couldn't hold himself back.

"And wear something appropriate!" You shook your head happily. Hea was back to normal.
