Something nice - Aokiji x Varane (OC commission)

Another Aokiji x Varane

"Varane, it's time to get up," Aokiji hums, shaking the female's shoulder a bit. "Five more minutes," she groaned, rolling on her other side. "Varane, honey, we need to leave, in this second," Aokiji persisted, they were surrounded by pirates. He sighed and in a flash, their attackers were frozen solid, Varane over his shoulder as he carried her around the frozen bodies, "you really are a heavy sleeper," he sighed, patting her back. "No, I just trust that you'll protect me," she muses, eyes closed as she curled around his neck like a scarf, "for such a cold man you're so warm." He chuckles as he carried her back to their dingy, "I love you, I'll take you back to the boat and you can rest while I get the rest of the supplies." She wines in protest, "I don't wanna be left alone! Take me with you!" He again chucked and patted her bum, "now now, if you get into trouble you can handle them, but I doubt our 'friends' I had just frozen will bother you anymore." She sighed and went limp like a noodle, no longer coiled on his neck, "fine, but bring me back something from the shop."

After arriving at their small love best, he set her down and kissed her forehead, "don't worry, I'll bring you back something really nice." She watched as he walked away, and instead of going back to sleep, she waited for him to return. After about an hour or so, despite fading in and out, she watched as he returned with a few large grocery bags with a suspicious looking black bag between them, "how was your nap?" He asks curiously. "I didn't nap, now where is my surprise," Varane demanded quite childishly. Aokiji sighed, "be patient, I have a few things planned." He hummed, kissing her cheek as she passed by to get on the dingy, "first, I'll start by making you a special dinner while you nap alright?" She scoffed at that, "I can only nap when I feel close to your cool skin." He chuckles and proceed forward to the small kitchen, "alright, alright, come with me so you can watch." She frowned and reluctantly followed him to the kitchen, sitting herself on the counter, though taking up needed space for him on the already limited counter space, he simply smiled and stole a small peck from her disgruntled lips before getting an apron on, then putting aside the mysterious black bag. She tried to peek at what could be inside, leaning slightly, "I tied the bag closed, so don't even try to peek," Aokiji rumbles washing vegetables. She frowned and folds her arms over her chest in a huff.

After finishing up cooking their meal, he headed outside to set up the table for them to dine on the small deck. She peered over her shoulder to watch him leave, making sure the door shut all the way before hopping down to see the now frozen over black bag, "damn.. He saw right through me.." She sighed in frustration and sat back on the counter pouting. When he returned back inside, he kissed her cheek while he passes by to retrieve their plates, "come on now, quit your childish pouting and let's eat," he rumbled, walking back out. She glanced over at the still frozen bag and again sighed, getting up from the counter and heading outside to the beautifully decorated table. "Come, have a seat, and when we're all finished I'll defrost your special surprise," he hummed, placing their plates down then pulling out her chair for her. She promptly walked over and pulled in her own chair, then swiftly grabbed her fork and dug in, rapidly chowing down. "Careful, if you eat too fast you'll give yourself a tummy ache," he rumbles, going over and taking his seat, she obviously ignoring him, desperately wanting her surprise. He had barely sat down when she declared she was finished, raising her fork in the air, "finished! Now give me my surprise!" He frowned at her, barely grabbing his fork, "I haven't even gotten you dig in yet, you're just going to have to wait until I'm finished," he hums.

She frowned and shook her leg impatiently, watching him eat and laying her head on the table. Only a few minutes had passed and her stomach started to hurt, she held her stomach and glared at Aokiji, thinking he had done something to her food, but in reality it was because she had eaten too fast. "Are you alright?" He asks, her face looked a bit green. He had barely made it half way through his meal when she got up and ran to the side of the dingy, coughing up everything she had just eaten. He sighed and got up, unable to eat after hearing her get sick, "come back to the kitchen after you finish, I'll make you some tea to sooth your poor tummy," he hummed, picking up the plates and carrying them inside. She leaned over the threshold of the dingy as she up chucked, getting everything out of her stomach before getting up 30 seconds after finishing. She wiped her mouth on her sleeve and sway walked back to the kitchen, "my tummy.. You poisoned my food didn't you..?" He laughed and set ready made tea on the counter made just the way she likes it, "you ate too fast remember? Drink your tea then lay down, I'll work on defrosting your gifts," he chuckles, going on search for a large pot in the cluttered cabinet below his knee. She grumbled in frustration as she sipped at her warm tea, he wasn't wrong but she didn't want to admit it. He had set the large pot on the stove after filling it with water, placing it over the ready flame, as he did this, she had finished her tea and walked over to the bed just at the other end of the small room, laying face down.
