Bad Marine~ Smoker x Reader pt2

         "There's a marine ship there," Jak huffs.

         "Just set anchor at the back of the island," You tell him, jumping onto the railing. "I'll go on ahead and check it out," You add, before diving into the water and swimming for the shoreline. You walk onto the beach, heading for town. It's been a few months since your run in with Smoker back at Logue town. Now that you were in the grandline now, you didn't expect to meet him again. However every time a marine ship came into view, you'd think of him. You let out a sigh as he runs through your mind now. The fact that it would never work between the two of you, only made you want to see him more. You neared town, putting on your hood and lowering your head to hide your face.

             "Tashigi! Hurry up!" You heard a familiar voice call. You stop in your tracks as he appears.

             "Yes sir!" the frail looking woman gasps, following after him. You blink at his bare torso, muscles glistening with sweat, and lightly bite your lip in admiration. Sure was nice to see him again. He walks past you, barely giving you a glance. The woman stops though, gawking at the twin swords on your back. "Those are rare swords!" She gushes, reaching to touch them. You stiffen, 'The hell is she doing?!' you think in shock. You pivot back, looking at her warily and backing up into Smoker who had turned to scold her.

            "Ah, sorry," You breath. He pauses in recognition and you instinctively rush pass the woman, kicking yourself for speaking.

            "Eh, what?" Tashigi gasps as Smoker chases after you without hesitation.

            'Shit, shit, shit!' You think, feeling him at your heels.  You dart into the forest to shake him off, but he is determined to catch you.

            "___!" He growls as your hood flies back. You look back at him briefly, but when you looked back ahead of you, the ground was gone.

            "Shit!" You gasp, flailing a bit as you begin to fall. A hand grabs your arm, yanking you back onto the solid ground. You fall onto your butt sighing in relief. "Even though you're gonna arrest me, I'm really glad to see you," You comment with a sheepish smirk.

             He pauses, "Are you okay?" he asks, kneeling beside you.

             "Let my heart calm down a bit... Almost fell into abyss..." You breath.

             "You should've watched where you were going," He tells you. The fact that you were being scolded by him made you chuckle.

             "I was just making sure you could keep up Smokey," you tease lightly, glancing at him with a slight smile.

             He blinks at you, obviously not sure what to make of your cheerfulness.  "Come on," He huffs, taking out a pair of handcuffs. You sigh, and give him your wrists. "Obedient," He comments, putting them on you.

             "For now," You muse with a smirk. He gives you a wary glance before leading you back through the forest.

             "Now what do we have here? A marine and a pirate?" A voice echoes the forest, making you both stop.

             "Pirates?" Smoker mutters, glancing at you.

             "No, probably mountain bandits," You murmur as shadows surround you and him. You glance warily at him as the shadows draw closer.

             "Shall I help you out?" A rugged man in bandit attire offers as he steps into the clearing.  

               "And ruin all my fun? I'll pass," You snort with some sarcasm. His eye twitches at your tone.

             "I'll be fun too," He chuckles with a wink.

             "Gross," You mutter with a shudder.

             That comment got to him, "You... Bitch!" He growls taking a step toward you. Smoker takes a step in front of you, touching his jitte.

              "She's coming with me," He growls, glaring at the bandit. You couldn't help but to give the bandit a cocky smirk at that. Bandit pauses, seeming more irritated now.

              "You're right, she's going with you- to HELL!" He snarls, snapping his fingers. The bandits come at you then. You spin behind Smoker to shield him from a blade. The sword breaks on the handcuffs, making you gap at the cuffs.

              "Wow these are strong!" You gasp as smoke wraps around you and the bandits. Within moments the bandits were knocked out. "That was amazing," You comment looking over at Smoker. He just shrugs as he turns to you.

            "You're not hurt are you?" he questions lightly.

            "Nah, I'm tougher than- Watch Out!" You exclaim, yanking him to the side as the bandit leader lunges with his sword aimed at Smoker's back. The sword pierces your shoulder, you swiftly grab the blade and give him a strong kick to the jaw, sending him into a tree with a crunch. "Ow," You whimper below your breath, gingerly pulling the sword out. Smoker curses under his breath, making you sit on a large tree root. He takes off the handcuffs and pulls down your shirt collar to assess the wound. "Wouldn't it be best to take care of it on the ship?" You ask, tilting your head only to see blood.

             "Like hell I'm arresting you after that!" He growls. You blink as he starts to dress the wound.

            "Heh... Hahaha," He freezes as you start to laugh, looking at you in wary shock. "Sorry, I wasn't expecting this... You're actually really sweet," You chuckle. He scowls at you, making you laugh harder. He tightens the makeshift bandage roughly making you wince. You put your hand over his in protest. "Hey, hey I was only teasing," You tell him. He pauses, looking at you then at your hand on his before pulling away.

             "That should do it, I'll let you go this time," he scoffs, standing and turning away. You blink at his back, not wanting him to leave so soon.

             "What about lunch?" You ask, making him stop. He looks back in surprise. "You still owe me," you point out. He blinks at you, meeting your serious gaze and sighs.

              "Come on," He grunts. You hurry to his side, not bothering to hide your smirk as you follow him toward town. He stops at the edge of the forest. "Wait here," He instructs.

             "Don't forget about me okay?" You tease him, sitting against a tree. He looks at you for a few moments before heading to town without a word. You smirk after him, pulling at your mini denden mushi. "Send a group of unwanted to get supplies in town," You tell Balto who was no doubt waiting for your report.

               'Yes captain,' He replies before promptly hanging up. You put the denden mushi back in your pocket, looking over as Smoker returned with two bentos. He sits across from you, handing you one. You blink, you hadn't even told him what you wanted to eat. You uncover the bento, a smile blesses your lips. He remembered what you ordered that day? You throw an impressed look at him, but he just looks down at his own bento.

                "Are you going to eat or not?" He questions. You smirk and start to eat.

                "What brings you to grandline?" You ask after a few bites.

                "Some pirates," He responds not looking up as he ate. You pause, 'Like me?' you wonder, pursing your lips slightly. "Dont be conceded," He adds, as if reading your mind as he glances up at you. You chuckle a bit, how strange was this? Eating with a marine major who had just had you in handcuffs. "Don't look so happy, I'll arrest you next time we meet," He tells you.

                   "You can arrest me whenever you want," You chuckle without thinking. He blinks at you, before putting a hand over his face and sighing. You tilt your head at his response. "I was kidding... Don't make that face," You huff.

                  "Why a pirate?" He mutters, mostly to himself.

                  "I'm rebellious, and I like the sea," You tell, him crossing your arms. He looks at you and shakes his head.

                  "I'm leaving now," He informs you, as he gets to his feet.

                  You frown a bit, "Until next time," you murmur.

                  He pauses, "Don't look so damn sad! We're enemies after all!" He growls.

                  "I know," You sigh, standing as well. He puts a hand over your face, pushing you back lightly with his fingertips.

                 "Don't let anyone else catch you until then," He murmurs, before walking away. You smirk, watching him go. You head toward the back of the small island, smiling to yourself.

                 "What's with that goofy smile?" Balto asks when you reach the ship.

                 "My smile isn't goofy," You object, covering your smile with your arm.

                 "Did you see that marine there?" He guesses.

                 You pause, "No..." You scoff, looking away with a smirk.

                 "Did he see you- your injured?!" He gasps, seeing the bandage.

                 "Oh yeah... He didn't do it though, it was a bandit that tried to stab him," you assure, and immediately cover your mouth. Balto shakes his head and steers you to the infirmary.

                "You shouldn't help marines, they're enemies," He points out.

                "I know, I can't help it though," You huff as your doctor, Lecter scans over the wound.

                "This is well dressed," He comments, looking at you in surprise.

                "I had help," You admit sheepishly.

                "From a marine," Balto cuts in, glancing at you knowingly.

                "Your powers are uncanny," You comment.

                "You're just easy to read," He points out.

                You frown, "Lecter, he's being mean!" You say with a pout.

                "Don't be mean to the captain," Lecter scolds. Balto frowns at him.

                "So, if you ran into the marine, why aren't you arrested?" Balto asks you, folding his arms.

                "Would you arrest me after I took a blade for you?" You quiz.

                "I wouldn't," Lecter mutters.

                "Alright, but how did you end up close enough to help him?" Balto asks. You sigh and tell them what happened. "What is up with you going against the code?" He sighs.

                "Rebellious," You and Lecter deadpan.

                "How did I end up following you?!" Balto complains, shaking his head.

                "You said it would be interesting," You remind him.

                "Where did all the charm go?" He sighs, shoulders drooping.

                "Hey! That's just mean!" You grumble, folding your arms with a slight pout as Lecter finishes changing the bandages.

                "Don't be mean to the captain," Lecter repeats.
