"Hiya guys~!" Upon seating yourself at the pub table, your eyes instantly take in the fact that Sanji's scrolling through his phone with one hell of a glare in his eyes, Nami's eyeing up the bartender and Zoro's merrily drinking himself silly. 

How strange though, you had thought you got asked to come here by Ace but he's nowhere to be seen? Perhaps he's on his way.

"Whatcha having, [F/n]?" Nami murmurs sweetly, her gaze finally managing to tear away from the barman as it lands on you instead. Your eyes uncontrollably widening when you notice she's opening her purse. BY CHOICE. 

Nami? Paying for someone else's drink?! What alternate universe have I awoken in?!

"Quit finding reasons to speak to him," Zoro grumbles, his voice catching your attention immediately. The green-haired male seems a little intoxicated but not in a huge state, like Shanks gets himself into. "He has a girlfriend."

"Who?" Of course, you realize just who he meant the second the question leaves your lips. If her staring didn't give enough hint, the fact that in buying you a drink would be a reason to socialize with the bartender was a dead giveaway. 

 And here I was thinking Nami was trying to be charitable for once. 

"How do you know?!" Nami spits harshly with an intense frown already etching into her features and her arms folding over her chest, the action only making her cleavage stand out more though. "What are you?! His secretary?!" 

"A friend of his brother's, actually." Zoro corrects, the comment itself earning a subtle nod from you. Yes, the barman is Luffy's other brother, Sabo. Of course, you wouldn't know much about his lovelife. But you do know that he's roughly the same age as Ace, the three were all adopted by Edward Newgate.

"And you stalk your friends brother's relationship status? Is there something you're not telling us here, Zoro?" Nami snarls, her head tilting to the side in a condescending manner which only makes Zoro to glare at her.

Honestly, why can't these two ever get along?

"If you had him on Facebook, you wouldn't need to look hard! Pictures of him and his girlfriend spam my news feed everyday!" 

He may have a point there...

Honestly, you're pretty shocked that Sanji hadn't stuck up for Nami yet. I mean she's always his main concern, Always. Curiously, you cast your gaze over to the blonde only to find that he's still frowning down at his phone, his focus so intense it's as if he's no longer in the room.

"What's he doing?" You ask this question for two reasons. Firstly because you're genuinely curious and secondly, to stop a fight between Nami and Zoro breaking out. The two can get rather vicious at times and you most certainly don't wish to be caught up in the middle of it.

"He's trying to return a sex toy he bought." Zoro murmurs darkly, the tone of his voice sending a small shiver up your spine. Not to mention the taunting smirk slowly spreading across his lips. "He bought some sort of sex torch from the internet but instead of a light on the end, it has a pair of lips."

"Shut up, Mosshead! She doesn't want to hear about that!" 

On the contrary, you do. Your curiosity just reaches far too high sometimes.

"Why is he trying to return it?" You quiz, completely ignoring Sanji in the process. The question only causes Zoro's smirk to widen as Sanji peaks up from his phone, already glaring at the 'mosshead' as a warning not to continue.

"What is a beautiful angel like you doing in the pub this early in the day anyway~?" Sanji blurts, his flirtatious voice sounding beyond forced and he obviously hadn't looked at the time before speaking. It's 8:20pm, hardly early in the day! 

Clearly he's trying and failing to distract you from this conversation, but since he asked...

"Ace told me to meet him here, seems I've been stood up though."

"Oh, he's in the bathroom. He needed to collect himself after finding out about that pervert's new toy~" Zoro snorts, again peaking your curiosity. Seriously, if it's so bad that Ace needed to collect himself then what the hell was it? What happened?!

"Did it hurt his penis or something?" It's the only thing you could really think of. It would explain why Sanji's so embarrassed and hell bent on getting rid of it and why Ace needed to take a minute.

I mean, no man likes the thought of a sex toy getting caught on their lower regions, right?

"Nah, it was secondhand and the seller said it had never been used." Oh, I know where this is going already. "But when curly brows used it, it was pretty damn sticky inside~"

Ewww...

"You guys are disgusting." Nami mumbles as she collects her things and evacuates to the bar. Obviously she's just making an excuse to be closer to Luffy's brother. 

A hearty laughter soon catches your ears, your attention drifting over to the men's toilets as Ace emerges from inside, seemingly telling someone about Sanji's unfortunate luck. Your eyes just about leaping from your skull when you realize he's speaking to Kid.

Welp, Sanji's never going to live this one down now!

You offer the pair a polite smile as they approach, scooting up a little so that Ace can sit down but Kid remains standing. His golden eyes shifting to the table and his weight seemingly shifting from one side of his body to the other.

He seems nervous somewhat, but he's still got that crazed smirk on his face despite his body language. 

"Unfortunately I can't join you for a drink, Ace. I gotta meet my gang in ten." Those words trigger a sinking feeling in your heart. It's no secret that he runs a gang and you're not too worried for him, he's a real tough guy! But you still can't help the damper on your mood.

Perhaps because you wouldn't have minded a drink with him? On the few occasions you've had drinks with Kid, he's usually been pretty fun and surprisingly polite...well, toward you anyway.

"What will you be getting up to tonight?" You ask in a chirpy tone, a wide smile slapped across your features as you await an answer. Your cheeks starting to burn up when Kid leans over the table, his face only inches from yours and his tone kept low.

"Robbing that museum on the high street." He discreetly rasps before pulling away, you know he only did it so no one other than you, Zoro, Sanji and Ace will hear himbut you could help the fluttery feeling in your chest. 

Although Sanji's so fixated on his phone, you doubt he heard anything anyway. 

"Oh? Well, be careful." A reasonable response, right? Quite nonchalant. Not according to Ace and Zoro though. The two both raising their brows as they take a brief glance at you, Ace smirking and Zoro's eyes drifting over to the freckled male suggestively. 

Honestly, is everyone on something this evening?!

"It's getting dark outside..." Sanji suddenly sighs under his breath, his voice slightly deep. But it only lasts for a second until he peaks up at you, a creepy smile engraving itself into his features. Joy... "I'll walk you home when you leave~!" Yep, saw that one coming. "A young maiden like you should never be without a kni--"

"Stick to your damn torch!" The comment seemingly coming out of the back-end of nowhere, completely catching you off guard. And judging by the cackling Ace and choking Zoro, they weren't expecting it either.

Your attention immediately shoots toward the culprit but Kid only seems completely unwavered by this. His hands tugging a little on his coat before he turns toward the door. "Though if that's your pick-up line, it's no wonder why you have to resort to a sex toy."  

"Sc-Screw you, lipstick lover!" Is all Sanji has a chance to bark as Kid exits the bar, though you doubt he even heard it. Usually if anyone dares to diss Kid, he'd kick their ass and Sanji sure as hell isn't an exception.

Yeah, he definitely didn't hear the insult. Maybe the 'screw you' part but nothing more.

"I saw that~" Ace hums with a cheeky smirk, dragging in your concentration. You can't quite help but feel like an ant under a magnifying glass at this point. Ace isn't the only one eyeballing you suggestively, Zoro's got that look in his eyes also. Not to mention you're stuck in between the pair at this booth. Great...

"Saw what?" Your heart already feeling like a brick because you just know what they mean and you really don't wanna deal with the third degree tonight. 

"Forget it, [F/n]! He's bad news!" Sanji blurts protectively, his arm throwing itself around your neck. You couldn't help but cringe at the mere sight of his hands, just because you know where they've been recently...gross.

"Bad news, eh dartboard brow~? At least he didn't screw some guy's dried up cu--"

"WILL YOU GUYS KEEP THE VOLUME OF YOUR DISGUSTING CONVERSATION DOWN?!" Nami screams from the bar, her face about as red as a tomato and poor Sabo looking completely mortified. Although it's hard to tell if it's because of Sanji's incident or because Nami's making him feel uncomfortable. "NOBODY WANTS TO HEAR THAT CRAP!"

At least she saved me from having to deal with Ace and Zoro...

That is how it seems anyway, until Ace takes another discreet glance at you from the corner of his eye. The smirk still as clear as day on his face and his expression just seeming to scream 'What should I do with this information?' 

Sometimes I wonder why I am friends with these people...
