His Private Dancer (Sinbad x Reader)

Is That Your Excuse?

"(Y/N)-chan? Who's this?" I looked to see Alibaba looking at Sinbad and I like we were foreigners.

"Um he's...a friend! And just a friend!" I waved my arms frantically as I felt Sinbad's eyes seize me up.

"Any friend of (Y/N) is a friend of mine!" Alibaba grabbed Sinbad's hand and pulled him into the tent I had just left. I breathed a sigh of relief and shortly followed after the two of them. 

"Oh (Y/N), I'm so glad you have a friend with you now!" Alibaba's mother chimed, " I was worried to send you off on you travels all by yourself..." Sinbad took the opportunity to introduce himself.

"Hello miss, my name is Sinbad, king of-" I quickly placed my hand over his mouth.

"KING OF SPICES!" I shouted out in desperation. Everyone in the room gave me a weird look. I cleared my throat, "Sinbad is the king of spice trade; he's also my trading partner." Sinbad glanced down at me as I gave him a pleading look. Eventually he gave in and sighed.

"Yup, after (Y/N) and I separated I desperately looked for her." Alibaba's mother gave an understanding expression.

"Welp, me and Sinbad better get to our caravan to make sure our goods are all in tact!" I grabbed sinbads hand, "Goodbye to you and Alibaba!"
We ran out of the tent and Alibaba quickly followed us.

"Goodbye pretty lady!" Alibaba shouted after us as we quickly left. I gave him a small wave and continued to run out of the slums. Not noticing how I was dragging Sinbad around. As soon as we were out of there, Sinbad whipped his arm away from me.

"O-oh...sorry.." I said when I noticed I was flinging him around like a rag doll. I swiftly pulled my arm away in haste but he just grabbed it back and pulled me into a tight embrace.

"Do you have any idea how worried I was?" I stopped breathing as the pounding in my heart seemed to be louder than his words. "You've been gone for about 3 weeks...Luckily you're advisor is taking good care of Simawi..." I gently pushed away from Sinbad.

"Sin...I'm so sorry for all the burdens I've brought upon you...I shouldn't even be in the seven seas alliance at all..." Sinbad cut me off.

"Don't say that..." he looked at me solemnly..

"I will say that! It's my fault that you had to deal with all of these troublesome events! It's my fault you had to come out and find me!" I huffed out hysterically. I began to turn my back on him until he grasped my shoulders firmly to turn me back around again.

"I did all those things because I care about you (Y/N)! I wouldn't waste my time with a useless woman!"

"Sinbad, I ran away from saving a child because I was afraid I would never see you again!" I cried out. Sinbad looked genuinely shocked at what I said.

"What...?"

"When I was in the slave trading caravan...there was a little fanelis girl named morgiana..." I took a deep breath and continued, "When we managed to escape, She got caught by the slave traders...and I just stood afar watching the whole ordeal..."

"I..." Sinbad looked at me for a loss for words. Finally he managed to speak. "The (Y/N) I know would call me an asshole instantly..." he chuckled slightly in remembrance to all my insults. "But you're being so kind to me right now, I'm at a loss."

"This isn't the time for that Sinbad! Can't you see how guilty I am about that moment?!" I shouted at him. Instead of frowning at me or looking down upon me; he took my hand and placed it on his chest.

"I'm taking this very seriously. Can't you feel my heart beating? I'm just happy to see you safe and sound." He paused for a second and took a handful of my hair onto his large hand; cupping my head. "When you said you were worried about never seeing me again...I felt the exact same way..." A blush quickly came to my cheeks.

"Are you saying what I think you're saying...?" I gulped a slightly.

(Y/n), without you by my side I can't be happy..." I felt my heart stop for a moment as I began to hear those precious words fall from his mouth. "I think I'm in love-"

"What are you two lovebirds doing out here?" I jumped slightly in surprise, only to see Sharkkan and Yamuraiha following shortly behind. She quickly caught on to the intimacy surrounding Sinbad and I.

"Were we...interrupting something?" She said awkwardly; to which I just grit my teeth together and replied.

"Nope!" I said and stormed off in the direction they came from.
