What makes you so special - Aokiji

A marine, you would put yourself to be so simply, you didn’t find yourself as any importance despite working under the admirals as their assistant, you didn’t feel important. It wasn’t until around the time admiral Aokiji was injured that you felt important in someone’s life. He had life threatening injuries in the hospital bed and relied on you for survival. Feeding him, washing him, aiding him in taking his medications, you were his whole world. When he was finally able to move again, he still struggled to do things on his own because of his missing appendage, which he replaced with a prosthetic ice limb which took him some time to get used to. Until he could get used to it, he leaned on you for support. It felt kind of nice to be needed, but you knew deep down that you could easily be replaced.

Aokiji took notice of your change in demeanor as he was able to regain mobility and asked, “is something the matter _____?” You look up at him sitting in his office chair and shake your head. He stood up from his chair and came to sit beside you on his small office loveseat, “I can see when you’re upset, I’ve spent a lot of time with you to know get to understand your body language. Now tell me, what’s troubling you?” He asks carefully. You shift and look off to the side, “you’re leaving.. That’s what upsets me…” You admitted, slightly teary eyed, “after all I did.. After all I do… You’re still leaving… I guess I wasn’t important to you at all for you to stay… I'm just another throw away grunt…” He frowns and reached down to place his large hand over your lap, “that isn’t true at all. You are important. You’re important to my life and the lives of others. You’re extremely special. I just.. Can’t stay here after what Sakazuki and I have been through. I feel like I’ve failed and let him win..” He had opened up to you so easily which took you by surprise, hesitating for a moment to place your hand over his larger one carefully, “I didn’t realize I was that special to you…”

“Of course you are important to me, I wouldn’t have anyone else help me recover but you, because I trust you,” he admits slightly sheepish, rubbing the back of his neck. You reach out carefully and cup his cheek, barely reaching the bottom of his chin since he sat so high, “thank you for trusting me admiral..” He paused and looked down art you, leaning down far enough for you to be able to touch his cheek, “Aokiji. Just… Call me that..” You blush slightly and swallow, “A-Aokiji… Right…” He leans in closer to you and looked at you with a half lided expression, “ may I?” You blink confused and question, “may you what?” He rumbles lowly and leans in to capture your lips tenderly. You were taken by surprise by his sudden romantic gesture but didn’t dare pull away, pressing into the kiss and his soft lips. After a few moments the kiss became heated and he had you pressed against the small couch under his large frame. He pulls away after a moment to catch his breath, staring down at you all the while as you do the same looking up at him. “M-may I?” He asks as his hand casually felt your sides. You smirk slightly and cup his face, “only if you promise me you’re staying..” He frowns slightly pouty, “you know I’m not going to do that.” You giggle and pat his cheeks, “then we seem to be at an impasse admiral.” He huffs and pinched your side in retaliation, “I told you not to call me that.” You laugh and try to push him off as he tickles you relentlessly.
