My Prince, my idiot.

Happily Ever After

She was in utter shock.
Monkey D. Luffy kissed her?

Her eyes widened, but eventually, she let the kiss sink into her lips for the while more.
Closing her eyes, she gently grabbed his face, kissing him back.

She didn't know it until then, but this was what her heart truly wanted.

Her heart truly wanted Luffy.

Of course, being the stubborn little missy she was, she didn't recognize her feelings until that exact moment;
The exact moment he kissed her.
It was honestly heaven for her.
His lips were warm and soft, pressing against hers ever so passionately.

"Kuroki..." She whispered, letting go of her for a breath.
Kuroki panted a little, not ever experiencing a kiss before. She didn't know how to breathe, when to breathe.
She put her hand back on her lap.
"Y-yeah, Luffy?" She tilted her head sweetly, smiling cutely.

But 'cute' wasn't the right word for this situation.

He leaned in for her neck, as she leaned backー
Suddenly, the door opened.
"Yo- oh, hey hey!"
Franky, the overly dramatic cyborg came inside the door, watching the two with a lifted eyebrow.
"We'll give you your privacy..." Robin giggled, shutting the door.

Even Luffy was embarrassed by this.
The two of then walked to the door, opened it as usual when they were mad.
Except this time, their fingers were intertwined, holding hands.
Robin looked back, smiling.

"Oh, saving it for later?"
Brook chuckled a bit.
"Yohohoho! Luffy-San, at least you get to see her panties! Yohoho-"
Nami of course, punched his Afro.
"MAKE ANOTHER PANTY JOKE AND YOUR AFRO'S COMING OFF!"

They all laughed. Having a good time as usual.

Luffy glanced at Kuroki, who was caught up in the fuss of the group.
"Kuroki." He said firmly, making everyone be quiet.
"I... I love you. I just want you to know that, and I always will love you."
They all looked with sympathy.

"Sanji, let's cook a feast-" Zoro began.
"Wait, where's Sanji?"
"Oh yeah... Haven't seen him today." Chopper replied.
All of a sudden, a clatter in the kitchen.

"Already working on it!" The cook yelled. Everyone rushed into the kitchen, hearing his voice, to see the huge feast.
"A special woman needs a special man. Cheers to Luffy and Kuroki!"
"Eyyyyy!" They all replied.
This was arguably one of the best nights for the Strawhat pirates.

Of course, afterwards, Luffy and Kuroki left the drunken pirates on the kitchen floor. They went back to her room.

"Now, where were we?"
