I let out a yawn after I stretched my arms above my head. I set up and turned to look out the window.
"Morning."
My eyes snapped open and I quickly turned to see the one person I didn't want to see sitting in a chair.
"Smoker... How did you-"
"Made of smoke, remember?" He asked with a chuckle.
I let out a groan and laid back in my bed.
"I'm going to prison aren't I?" I quietly asked.
"Not if you do as I say." He said as he rose to his feet, cigar in his mouth.
I sent him a look and raised my eyebrow.
"I want you to join the marines. You'll be put on my crew." He explained as he walked up to me.
"And if I don't?"
"Then I'll turn you in and allow them to execute you."
I laid my head in my pillow and let out another sigh.
"Fine, guess I have no choice... Smokey." I said as a smirk spread across my face.
His eyes narrowed and he walked up to me. I froze as he pulled something out of his pocket.
"What is-"
I was cut off by him putting a metal collar around my neck. I felt my strength slowly drain and I slumped forward into his arms.
"This is for me to make sure that you don't use your powers behind my back." He explained as he picked me up.
"Bas... tard." I groggily muttered as I laid my head on his shoulder.
Timeskip
It didn't take long for me to gain the crews trust, the only one who didn't trust me was Smoker; I had even gained Tashigi's trust.
"So how long will he distrust me?" I asked with a sigh.
"You are still a pirate, so I'd give it until you die." She said as she handed me a plate of food.
"Just my luck."
I heard footsteps and turned to see Smoker walking up to me.
"Morning, Vice Admiral." I said as I leaned against the counter.
He let out a grumble and pushed past me, I watched as he grabbed a mug and downed it. I rolled my eyes and pushed off of the counter. I walked out of the room, barely missing his eyes follow my every move.
I made it to my room and plopped down on my bed. I pulled my legs to my chest and leaned back against the headboard.
"Stupid asshole." I hissed as I laid my chin on my knees.
I still couldn't believe that he didn't trust me. We'd been working together for over a month now and yet he still treated me like trash. A sharp knock broke me from my thoughts and I set up.
"Come in!" I called out.
The door opened and I watched as Smoker walked into my room, a frown on his face.
"Smoke-"
"What have you done to me!" He yelled as he stalked over to me.
"I haven't done anything-"
He roughly grabbed a hold of my hair and pulled it back. I let out a yelp as I grabbed his wrist.
"Don't lie to me!"
"I'm not!"
He kept his grip on me and growled out. Our eyes locked and I felt fear course thru me.
"Please... I haven't done anything." I pleaded.
His eyes softened for a second before he tightened his grip and pulled me up off of the bed.
"Please." I whined as he dragged me behind him.
He led me to the cells and threw me inside. He slammed the door shut and closed it.
"Smoker, what is going on!" I exclaimed as he turned and left the room.
I let out a groan as I laid down on the bed and covered my face. After what felt like eternity I heard the sound of footsteps and jumped to my feet. My heart raced as I watched Smoker walk into the room.
"Smoker, what is going on? Why am I locked up?" I growled out.
"Have you used your abilities on me?"
"What? No, why would I want to hurt you?" I asked in shock.
"Maybe so you can escape."
I let out a sigh and grabbed onto the bars.
"Smoker please.. I swear I haven't used them."
"Then why can't I get you out of my head! Why do I constantly think of you!" He snapped, causing me to take a step back.
"I don't know, but I wish I did."
He let out a sigh and rubbed the bridge of his temples.
"Smoker, I want to help you. Please trust that I am on your side."
He turned to look at me and slowly lowered his hands.
"So you haven't done anything to me... so these thoughts are my own?" He asked with a sigh.
"What thoughts are you even having?" I asked as I toyed with the collar around my neck.
"Sinful thoughts." He said as he looked me up and down.
I licked my lips and stepped away from the cell door.
"I would love to hear more about these... thoughts." I said as his hand moved to the door.
He threw it open and stormed into the room. Before I could say another word he cuffed my face and crashed his lips against mine. A moan left my lips as I felt him pick me up and slam me into the wall.
"I want you to know... that I have no plans on us leaving this cell tonight." He growled out.
"Promises promises." I whispered as he glared down at me.
He let out a chuckle as I wrapped my legs around his waist and pulled him down, capturing his lips with mine in a deep and passionate kiss.
