Can’t spoil the surprise, can I? [ He laughs, squeezing the arm around her shoulder in a quick and affectionate hug, head dipping down to the side to gently brush a few kisses to the top of her head while they pass through the well-lit secret passageway. Despite his excitement, his stomach twists in a fit of nervousness, worried that she might not like his suite and what’s waiting for her there. What if it’s too similar to her own? ] Yeah, but you can already do that, you know? Just kiss me when we’re in bed together and message me when we aren’t. I’ll wake and be by your side right away.

[ He grins at her as the passageway starts to slope upwards, a door not far ahead. Ever the gentleman, he’s quick to tug it open and give a little bow, gesturing towards it. ] Ladies first. Especially when they’re so damn wonderful like you are.

[ On the other side of the door, the main living area of the crew awaits, overlooking the “sea” that’s as fake as the one in her suite. He grins at her as he follows after, gesturing around excitedly. ] This is for us. For me and you and Zoro and everyone else, you know? A place for the whole crew, if Luffy and Usopp ever find their way here.
