Shenanigans.
"What did the man look like?" Perona questions as you exit your temporary bedroom, your brows furrowing thoughtfully as you clasp your earring shut.
You and Sabo are going on a date tonight, just the two of you since it'll be time to go home tomorrow, you've forbidden Perona and Kyo from leaving this hotel room so that they can't cause any more trouble or run into that strange man again, Much to their dismay.
At least Robin had offered to stay here also and keep them busy.
All you have to do now is wait for Sabo to come by, he's also getting ready for the date, but in the boy's suite.
"The man was tall, hairy, chubby..." You describe him to the best of your abilities as you make your way over to the table the girls are sitting around, grabbing your handbag and digging around inside it. "Missing teeth, dark hair, beard--"
"Oh, that guy." Kyo murmurs, earning a questionable look from Perona, the pinkette still lost it seems. "The ugly one that you kept calling Blackbeard." She clarifies but still, nothing. "...Ace helped distract him whilst you stole his wallet."
And boom, Perona remembers.
The pinkette cackling wickedly as she throws her head back.
She stole the man's wallet...why?
Your eyes narrowing as they shift back to Kyo. "I thought you were supposed to be watching her." You're not necessarily scolding the girls but you had invited them so that they can pay for their own pleasures, not steal from people.
"Oh, I was watching her. She's shockingly a good thief."
These little assholes...
"Anyway," You stamper out, grabbing a small jewellery box from inside your bag and placing it down in front of your red-haired friend. "Your rings." You watch as she swiftly opens said box, plucking her bands out of it with a vague smile. "Don't worry, they've been washed."
And just like that, the smile has morphed into more of a disgusted frown.
After your night with Sabo, you thought you'd clean the little accessories since they may have had some...residue stuck to them. Quite considerate - if you must say so yourself.
"...Thanks...I guess..." Kyo now looking a bit mortified as she reluctantly slips the rings back onto her index fingers, staring down at them with discomfort but at least Perona's amused, the pinkette giggling madly in the background as Robin draws a card from the deck in the centre of the table.
Your eyes curiously trailing over the game they're playing, it's called 'Love Game' and apparently, Robin had bought it for you as a wedding gift because she thought it was fitting - however, due to the girls not being allowed to leave the suite, they've decided to play it now.
I guess I'll join in while I'm waiting for Sabo...
Robin's blue eyes scanning the card's contents as you take a seat beside her. "What was your most upsetting breakup?" She reads aloud and just like that, the table has been plunged into a depressive state.
"This seems like one of those games you'll need to take shots while playing!" A giggle escaping your lips since past loves isn't really a problem for you anymore. "I'll tell you guys mine, although it's not really a breakup - more like a rejection." Your words seemingly piquing the interest of all three girls, they're practically staring a hole through your face. "Alright so, this was before I met Sabo, I had a bit of a crush on Ace and please keep in mind this was back in elementary school." The girl's all leaning a little closer to you, seemingly not wanting to miss a single word of your confession. "Well, I told him that I liked him in front of all of his friends at Lunch and he...not-so-delicately rejected me, they were all laughing at my sorry ass until Sabo slapped Ace around the head for being so rude. And that's the story of how I first met my husband~!"
The younger two seem somewhat shocked whilst Robin just stifles her giggles with her hand.
"What a gentleman!" The raven hums softly, her blues flickering between Kyo and Perona, the two pouting and seemingly not wanting to talk about their past relationships. "If you tell me yours, I'll tell you mine...it's recent."
You don't miss how quickly their heads snap in Robin's direction, honestly you're amazed they didn't break their necks.
"Okay, fine." Perona starts off, the pinkette looking a little bummed out as she rests her elbows on the table, propping her head up on her knuckles as she frowns. "I once dated Eustass Kid..." Did she?! I didn't know about that! "But he broke up with me after a year and 6 months because I had a negative effect on his good mood apparently..."
Your heart dips at the girl's words, she still looks so hurt by the breakup.
"What good mood?" Kyo scoffs, raising a brow.
And just like that, you're trying your best not to burst into laughter, Robin also snickering to herself also whilst trying to hide it with her hand.
It's true that Kid is very rarely in a decent mood.
"Your go!" Robin suddenly chimes, now putting Kyo on the spot, making the girl look just as saddened as Perona.
What a lovely game this is turning out to be.
"I've never had my heart broken, it doesn't break." Kyo mutters stubbornly as she runs a hand down her face and that pale blush on her cheeks not going unnoticed by you either. Liar, nobody is immune to heartbreak. "But I guess it kinda, somewhat, maybe...hurt a little when Trafalgar's stupid ass dumped me to focus on his medical studies..."
Sounds like it hurt a lot to me.
"Bah, men! Who needs 'em?" Perona snorting at her frenemy's misfortune but not rubbing it in too much at least, the girl's pale hand reaching over to give the redhead a strong pat on the back - which the brat shrugs off immediately.
"Don't touch my back."
"Well..." Robin starts, knowing that it's now her turn. The raven-haired beauty attracting the ladies full attention as she idly fiddles with the card in between her fingers. "I wouldn't class mine as a breakup or heartbreak but it's rather embarrassing, I might've had a bit too much to drink last night and tried to kiss one of Sabo's brothers..."
What? WHO?!
"Marco?" Perona and Kyo ask in sync, the both of them looking a mixture between shocked and intrigued.
"No, Thatch." Robin elaborates before shrugging her shoulders. "But he rejected me, of course."
Ouch!
"So that's why you were so eager to babysit Marco?" You ask lowly, earning yourself a guilty nod from the woman. "You just wanted to slip away from the group?"
...Wow that sucks...
"Then you ended up sleeping in his bed anyway because you were looking after Marco!" Perona snorts loudly causing Robin to smirk somewhat as she glances off to the side, the embarrassment is as clear as day on the lady's face as she softly laughs it off.
"Okay, next!" The pinkette practically sings as she picks up another card, her eyes lightening up and a smile breaking out across her painted lips. "This one is better! Who's the sexiest man you know? And you can't be too obvious!"
A knock at the door thankfully ends the game for you, the girls seemingly continuing to play, bickering over the 'can't be too obvious' part.
"I'll see you guys later!" You chime, although only Robin waves back, the younger two are far too busy tearing chunks out of each other...as usual.
Upon opening the door, you come face-to-face with a sight you'll never get tired of, your handsome blonde stood before you with an adorable smile on his lips and before he even gets to say a word, you're practically throwing yourself into his arms and giving him a tight cuddle.
Strange how you can miss somebody so much when they've only been away for an hour.
"Are you ready, beautiful~?"
