«I picked the black ticket.» you mumble, showing it to Nami.
«Than means...»
«Sabo!» Vivi calls for the blond male, who's chatting happily with his brothers and Koala in the centre of the hall.
A quick grimace appears and disappears on the girl's face when he turns to you and smiles.
He sure has a flashy smile... and she sure wants me dead now.
Sabo approaches you with confident steps, his steampunk outfit more garish than ever, following the little group till the closet.
«Please.»
He moves aside with a wink, allowing you to precede him inside.
«What a gentleman!» you giggle when he enters as well.
Nami closes the door, letting the light fade away.
«Basically you got the smart brother.» he states, chuckling.
That's Sabo. Always confident, always cheerful, sometimes elusive.
You decide to play along, smirking.
«Oh, so you would be the smart one of the litter?»
«Absolutely!»
«Meh, I don't know...»
«You don't?»
He widens his black eyes in a fake outraged expression. You shook your head.
«I'm sorry Mr. Lawyer, I don't think you're smart as you think.»
«Consider me offended, then.»
You giggled, relaxing against the wall.
«Sabo, what a luck to pick you! It'd be embarrassing with most of the other guests! Although I'm pretty sure Koala wants to kill me now...»
«We're not together.» he replied mechanically, as if he's used to state it pretty often.
«Really? I mean, I kinda figured it was not official yet, but...»
Sabo waves a hand in front of you.
«It's complicated.»
An ironic expression enters your features.
«Is it "I've plenty of hot girls around" complicated?»
«Er...» he scratches his cheek with a nervous smile «Y/n, you really have a poor opinion of me!»
«Au contraire. I think you're a gentleman! Just... you know, a gentleman who can't really say no to a hot girl.»
The blond stretches out his arms, defeated.
«Hey, it's not like I'm cheating on someone. That I would never do.»
«Of course not!»
«Y/n.»
«Yes?»
«I've got the feeling you're jerking me around.»
You mimic his previous outraged face.
«That, I would never do.» you solemnly say, deliberately using his same choice of words.
A crooked smirk appears on his mouth.
«That's it, you brought this on yourself.»
Sabo jolts towards you and you jump aside, prepared. But he was expecting your move, and his hand is quick in grabbing your arm, jerking in the right direction at the right time.
«Shit!» you hiss, as he pulls you in a tight hug, restraining your arms on your back.
Gosh, he's strong.
«Y/n! Language!»
You try to struggle your way out, but his free hand soon crawls to your belly, starting to poke and prod your flesh through the dress.
«NAHAHAHAHAHAH SABO!» you cry, trashing around.
«Oh shit, you're strong too!»
In an attempt of further restrain you, the blond presses your body between his and the wall. Your cheeks come in contact during the process, and he stops, leaning on you. His warm breath is now caressing your ear and neck.
«You said it yourself.» he finally whispers, brushing his lips against the shell of your ear, making you shiver «I cannot resist a hot girl.»
Sabo pulls out, just to look at you in the eyes, his cocky smile always on his face. You smirk as well.
«And who am I to say no to a steampunk lord?»
He bends on you with unbearable slowness, till his lips lightly dab on yours. You disclose your mouth a bit.
And that's when he chuckles, pulling away but immediately leaning his forehead on yours.
«You're too sassy, Y/n.»
He gives you a gentle (but not too gentle) bite on the cheek, then retreats.
His timing is perfect, because a second later Perona opens the door.
«Oh? So, nothing?» she asks, disappointed.
You both shrug, faking indifference. Perona steps aside to let him pass through.
«Sabo!» you call.
The blond turns back to you, a hand on his top hat in a reverent pose.
«Yes, milady?»
You cross your arms on your chest, lifting your chin proudly.
«You will call me soon.» you state, with a boldness you didn't think you had.
Sabo blinks, surprised for a second, then pout at you.
«You know,» he says «I'm really afraid I will.»
