One Piece One-Shots (Finished!)

(Crocodile) My Desert King

Goodness guys, I had to look up if it was "desert" or "dessert" for my trademark cheesy title and now I'm kinda thinking I shouldn't be writing Wattpad, but attempt to enjoy this while I contemplate buying spelling textbooks. Also! I love the idea of a secretly cuddly and soft Crocodile, so when I write about him that's what it's gonna be!

I woke up in a nice room, the blanket was warm surrounding me, but something definetly felt off.

I looked around the room but I couldn't notice anything actually wrong with the room.

Then it hit me.

There was a hand on my side. Someone was laying in bed next to me. As panic sets in, I slowly turn around, trying not to wake the person who was in bed next to me. Once I make a whole 180, I see the face of Sir Crocodile right next to me. 'I didn't think you were the type for cuddling.' I thought to myself.

Somehow it had not occurred to me that my husband would be the one in bed next to me.

I laid in his arms, a smile plastered on my face, until I noticed his eyes gently open. "YN..? Is that you..?" He asked. He still seemed a little tired, a little odd from just waking up. "Yep, it's me." I said, putting my arms around him, finally.

"Sorry, this might seem like a shock..." He said, sitting up and looking over at me. "Ah, no it's no problem." I said, looking at his adorable pajamas. "I have no idea why I started holding you... I just felt really... alone." He said, his usually sharp eyes full of pain this once.

I scooted a little closer to him and I put my hand on his shoulder. "...Is everything ok..?" I asked, looking deeply into his eyes. He put his arms around me and hugged me tightly. "I guess so..." He said, mumbling. I put my arms around him, returning his desperate hug. "You were... lonely?" I asked in a soft voice. "I don't know what I was... I just wanted to be really close to you." He said, shoving his face into my pajama top.

"I... didn't know you were like this." I said, holding onto him. "I'm not." He said in a more threatening manner. "It's fine, I won't tell anyone." I said softly. I sighed at the sad looking man. "We'll cancel your plans for today. I don't know what's going on in your head, but whatever it is, it isn't good. I think you need an easy day." I said, brushing a stray piece of hair out of his face. He gave me a small smile. "Thanks, YN..." He said, his hand holding onto my sleeve.

I decided I'd get up and get us some cereal, so I kissed his cheek as I left and I hopped down the stairs and quickly poured some bowls of cereal and ran back upstairs to where Crocodile was waiting. "You've gotta eat something for breakfast. Sorry I left." I said, sitting back down and scooting in close to him. He smiled a little at me and my heart melted. I pulled his bangs away from his forehead and I left a gentle kiss in the middle of it. "You know you're really cute sometimes." I said, chuckling a little.

He slowly ate his cereal, especially compared to me who had it done in under three minutes. When he was done, I noticed tears in his eyes. "Hey... Sweetheart what's wrong?" I asked, my hand on his shoulder, attempting to offer any type of consolation I could. "I'm so glad I have you by my side." He said, kissing me lovingly. We broke apart and I sighed a sigh of relief.

"I love you." I said, leaning in and kissing my dear husband again. "I love you too." He said, gently kissing me back. I looked up at his sweet face, to finally find a smile had crept it's way there. "Feeling better, Crocodile?" I asked, laying my head on his shoulder. "Much better." He said, kissing my cheek.
