CRYING, SCREAMING, THROWING UP I LOVE IT

Ok as a genderfluid person Luffy radiates huge "what's gender?" energy and I know there have been instances of him wearing traditionally non-masculine clothing, so HEAR ME OUT!!

Luffy loves robin's style, the shirts and the short skirts and pants and prints. It's a bit more modest than Nami's but still sexy because Sanji always shortcircuits around her when she wears them. And he thinks that's cool! He wants to make people do that too. So he goes to Robin and asks her if she has any clothes that she'd give him.

So he ends up with some cute skirts and halter tops (think her Miss All Sunday outfit) (and underwear because Robin told him he has to wear underwear and lends him some soft cotton ones he doesn't hate) and decides he's gonna wear it around the ship the next day.

Cue the next day and Luffy goes to Robin for help cuz he doesn't wanna damage her clothes. When they emerge, Sanji is about to snap at Luffy for interrupting the ladies when he just freezes when he sees Luffy. Usopp is stuttering, Chopper is gushing about Luffy's outfit, while Nami looks very conflicted about how good the captain looks in women's clothes. Franky insists the captain looks SUUUPER sexy, and it almost looks as good as the original. Brook asks to see his panties and chaos ensues as Luffy goes "Shishi shi~ sure!" And goes to raise up his skirt when big calloused hands hold his wrists.

He turns his head to see Zoro behind him, his other hand pressing into the skin of the small of his back and it makes him break out in goosebumps. The swordsman looks him up and down, and though everyone has been looking at him all morning, Zoro's singular eye burns as it roams over the exposed skin of his legs and midriff and chest. His Zoro's eyes are hungry and Luffy wants Zoro to devour him whole.

"You look nice, Captain." Zoro says, loud enough for the rest of the crew to hear but close enough to his ear that Luffy wants to shiver.

"Hey, Curly-brow, I thought you said breakfast was ready!" Zoro shouts at Sanji, and this rouses the rest of the crew to ask for breakfast. But Luffy knows breakfast is the last thing on Zoro's mind by squeeze to his hip and the heated look Zoro throws him over his shoulder as he walks to kitchen.

And if Luffy has to push his hat down to hide his blush and Robin gently taps his shoulder to tell him he can keep the outfit and she has some other she'd be willing to give to him, well that's between him and Robin.

Robin isn’t really all that surprised when she finds Luffy in her room one day, and the captain asks if she has any clothes that would fit him. The archeologist takes one minute to let the request digest before flitting over to her closet to fish something out that would sit right on Luffy’s chest and hips. They’re different proportions after all, but in the end, Robin comes back with a crop top that can be sinched tight from the back, and a mini skirt that she wore when she was much younger and a bit slimmer in the waist.

Luffy takes one look at the ensemble and grins happily, and seeing that smile, Robin offers to take it a step further by brushing Luffy’s hair and giving him a pair of matching earrings to go with his outfit.

“May I ask what brought this on, Captain?” She finally asks when Luffy’s changed and eyeballing himself in the mirror.

Luffy gives her another one of his signature smiles, “I just thought I’d might look nice. Sanji always says you look sexy in your clothes, and I want to look sexy to.” Luffy plucks at his dark hair from beneath the brim of his hat until he’s satisfied.

Robin still has her easy going demeanor about her. She never pegged Luffy to care all that much about his appearance, but if he wanted to look and feel sexy, then it wasn’t her place to interject. Not that she would. Instead of finding her Captain sexy, she thinks he looks cute in his outfit. It’s certainly different from his usual attire, but Luffy has a smile on his face that lights up her whole room, and she feels a certain fondness for her adorable little captain.

The rest of the crew has an interestingly diverse set of reactions. Nami squeals, over the moon to see Luffy dressed up in something cute as opposed to his usual attire. She offers to do his nails, which makes Luffy laughs as he runs over to join Usopp and Chopper fishing off the side of the ship. Usopp balks, eyes bulging from his head as he stutters out a, “L-L-Luffy??!!” Which just makes the captain giggle louder. Chopper is sweet as he compliments Luffy, bashful as he says he never knew skirts could be so pretty on boys.

Sanji, probably has the most convulsive aneurysm in response to Luffy’s attire change. At first, he doesn’t even notice, glancing at the skirt and assuming it’s Robin before really getting a good look. But on second thought, the hips are a bit slimmer, more slender and muscular in a way that’s different than how Robin voluptuously fits in her clothes. That is what causes Sanji to take a second look and practically drops every drink he’s holding on the serving tray because what the fuck is Luffy wearing and why is he actually pulling it off??!! It’s completely unfair! Even Sanji didn’t look that good in skirts and dresses when he dabbled in them on New-Kama island (though he’d admit, heels did wonders for his calves). Begrudgingly, the cook compliments Luffy when Robin prompts him sweetly, because Sanji can’t deny their captain looks almost illegally adorable flouncing around their ship in Robin’s old clothes.

Franky yells out a ‘super’ and poses, Luffy mimicking the action with a cheesy grin as his straw hat wobbles precariously where it’s perched on his head. Brook comes out from the bathhouse (and why skeletons need to bathe is still an unknown) and shrieks when he sees the captain. The musician makes a swooning motion as he takes the captain’s hand into his own.

“Luffy, would you be a dear and show me your panties?”

What earns him a slap from Nami only gets him a laugh out of Luffy and a giggled, “Sure!” Luffy’s hands dangerously go to the hem of his already short skirt, fingers moving to lift—

And then he’s stopped abruptly by a tanned, calloused hand covering his own. The crew looks up to see Zoro has arrived, and takes a stance behind his captain with his usual hovering. Luffy glanced over his shoulder, a little confused when Zoro stops him. His eyes slightly wide. Cheeks softly blushing pink.

“How about,” Zoro offers slowly, voice deep as he urges Luffy’s hand away from his skirt, “We don’t encourage Brook’s bad habits?”

“Aw, but I wanted to see the captain’s panties!” Brook whines, earning him another hit with a screeching yell from Nami to ‘knock it off’.

Zoro makes a noise of amusement, and Luffy feels his heart stutter at the sound. For some reason, Zoro’s hand feels warmer than ever, and the way his grey eyes meet Luffy’s dark ones sends little shivers of anticipation down Luffy’s spine.

What will Zoro think of Luffy dressing like this?

His answer comes when the swordsman grins subtly, head lowering to whisper against Luffy’s pierced ears, “You look nice, Captain.”

The words are simple, but it’s how Zoro says them that makes Luffy’s cheeks bleed red. An urge to hide his face away triggers him into pulling his hat down over his eyes, his heart hammering in his chest when Zoro moves away. Shyly, Luffy chances a glance at the first mate, only to feel as if he’s burning with the way Zoro eyes him obviously from head to toe, leisurely taking in the length of his captain with a smug, heated gaze. Luffy is now fully aware of his exposed midriff and the shortness of his skirt, but while he’s (surprisingly) embarrassed, he also feels warm, like he almost wants Zoro to look at him even more than he already is.

And so he tilts his chin up a little bit, lets his hands fall to the side as he meets Zoro’s gaze again. The swordsman’s smirk widens, his eyes softening as he adoringly takes his captain in.

Finally, with a breathy sigh, and a reverberating rumble, Zoro says, “Real nice, Luffy.”

“Ugh,” Sanji groans, sputtering his disgust as he throws two cigarettes into his mouth, “They’re flirting.”

“Oh, leave them alone.” Nami coos, shooting Luffy a wink, which only makes him blush more, as she turns to return to the helm, “And I need another drink, Sanji.”

“Of course Nami-swan!!!” The blonde chitters, noodling after his red haired goddess. That spurs the rest of the crew into dispersing and thinning out, leaving Zoro and Luffy alone in the middle of the Sunny’s deck.

Luffy doesn’t understand why it’s so hard to meet Zoro’s eyes, just that every time he does he wants something from the swordsman, and he doesn’t know what that something is. Touch him again, maybe. Keep looking at Luffy, definitely. And maybe…

Luffy shakes his head, his straw-hat falling back behind his neck. His hair, brushed and styled, billows in the sea breeze that carries over the grand line. There’s salt in the air, heat on his neck, but nothing makes him feel more warm, more thrilled, than Zoro’s hand reaching up and tucking a rebellious strand of Luffy’s hair behind his ear. The captain’s breath catches, and his eyes glimmer when he realizes what it is that he wants: why his stomach feels like it’s fluttering and his heart thunders at a pace that makes him worried about a heart attack.

Zoro is firm and large when he stands close, swords always at his hips, his own gold earrings softly chiming. His face is smooth, open and sweet, tender as he lets his fingers linger on Luffy’s cheek. Then, the swordsman is searching with his eyes, letting them fall to the captain’s mouth before moving up again, and Luffy only burns hotter. He wants—

There’s the sound of canon fire in the distance, a call from Nami as she warns of navy ships on the horizon. Zoro sighs.

Luffy finds himself making the same disappointed sound.

“Here, put this on.” Zoro says, slipping off the outer layer of his coat and placing it over Luffy’s shoulders. It’s a warm, heavy fabric. Smells like Zoro and engulfs Luffy entirely, “Can’t have the marines ogling you, right Captain?”

“Right. Only Zoro can ogle.” He says without thinking. His mouth, as always, is faster than his brain. His eyes go wide, the blush overtaking him again and he automatically goes to backtrack, but Zoro laughs, loud and beautiful. He has always been beautiful to Luffy when he smiles.

“Aye, Captain,” Zoro agrees without hesitating, and then he’s coming close again, fondly bumping their foreheads together in a way that makes Luffy squeak quietly, “You are only for me.”

Needless to say, Luffy makes a habit of raiding Robin’s closet every once in a while, and absolutely revels in the attention it earns him from a certain green haired swordsman.

Ghost Train - a ZoLu fic - Chapter 1

Chapter 1: On Melancholy Hill

(ɔ◔‿◔)ɔ ♥

Walking down the road with an umbrella in hand, Roronoa Zoro, a college student was currently listening to his favorite band while the rain poured down heavily on him and his friends.

"I still can't believe that this campus doesn't allow cars on school grounds." Nami, one of Zoro's friends was complaining as her shoes were getting wet. The others walking with him were his friends, Usopp, Tony (but everyone calls him Chopper), Jinbe and..... Sanji... if he can consider that dumbass a friend, yeah...over his dead body.

"It's okay Nami, I'll shield you from the rain." said the dumbass swooning over the redhead, Zoro sighed and turned the volume up on his phone so he can drown out Sanji's words.

He was listening to his favorite band, 'D3', a band that didn't stick to one genre, He was happy because he recently manage to buy a limited edition shirt that has the member's autographs on it.

It wasn't long before Zoro and his friends made it to campus, while they were all drying off, he saw a few more friends walk up.

3 staff members of the college came and greeted the almost-soaked bunch. The tall raven-haired woman, Robin smiled at all of them.

"I'm assuming none of you guys saw the weather warning and that classes were canceled today," Robin said with a small smile, in just seconds the group of young adults were sulking.

"My shoes are wet and I didn't even need to be here," Nami said as she found a chair to sit on in the campus lobby to wring out whatever she can out of her shoes. Meanwhile, Usopp and Sanji were checking their phones to see the message from the school.

Brook, the school's music professor just started laughing at the group, "Why don't we go to my classroom and warm up with some tea? Might as well wait until the weather calms down."

Franky, the school's number one handyman, went to get blankets from his 'stash' for everyone since they would be hanging out for a while. In a few minutes, everyone was in Brook's classroom making their selves comfortable.

"Wait, so if classes were canceled, why are you guys here?" Usopp asked aloud.

Franky and Robin were cuddled with each other, while Brook was still making tea for everyone. "Robin always shows up early for work, so I go with her and nap in her classroom before class starts, Brook is here because he's an early bird too and just happens to live 5 minutes away from campus," Franky answered the question.

The others just nodded, Usopp decided to work on homework he totally didn't put off last minute.

"Usopp? You guys didn't finish Professor Smoker's homework didn't you?" Chopper sighed as he grabbed his notebook from his backpack and went over to help him.

Everyone was doing their own thing, Zoro was napping still listening to his music before he felt someone kick his leg...hard.

"OW! What the hell Curly-brow!" Zoro yelled as he grabbed his knee, he took off his earbuds to glare at the man. Sanji just rolled his eyes and took out his vape to take a hit.

"Nami was asking you something moss-head,"   Sanji said as he blew smoke out of his mouth. Nami just rolled her eyes at the two, "Anyway, I was asking you Zoro, what are you doing for summer break? This is the last summer we have before we graduate."

Zoro thought, he didn't really have friends or family outside of the friend groups that were sitting with him currently. "Not much, the only thing eventful thing happening to me is that my shirt is coming in the mail in a few days," Zoro said plainly.

Nami smiled, Zoro was always like an annoying older brother to her, it was nice to see him be passionate about other things besides his kendo training, even if it was a band.

"It's sad, they were all our ages when they passed," Chopper commented while he was trying to help Usopp with his final assignment still.

Ah yes, Zoro's favorite band, all the members are dead due to a boating accident which led the three brothers to drown 2 years ago.

"The frontman was your favorite right Zoro? Ah, what was his name?" Brook asked as he tried to remember the names of the three younger artists.

"Luffy, his brothers were Ace and Sabo," Zoro replied solemnly, the group looked at him. They remembered how destroyed Zoro was when he heard of their passing in class a few years ago, even though Zoro would never admit it.

"Well Zoro, luckily for you my amazing Vivi, planned an outing for all of us for our summer break. Her family has a huge beach house on Dawn Island, that's the place where they were born weren't they?" Nami said with a knowing smile on her face.

To say Zoro was surprised about that would be saying the sky wasn't blue, he was interested from the first part of the offer but now that he has a chance to go see Luffy's home island. "Sure, why not?" he replied calmly even though his friends knew he was ecstatic on the inside.

"Well, there's only one week of classes left? When do we plan on going?" Robin asked Nami.

"I'll send you guys more detailed information in our group chat, but Vivi said roughly in 2 weeks," Nami answered.

Chopper was excited, he was shaking Usopp with happiness, out of the years they all knew each other, this is their first vacation together!

Sanji didn't need any convincing because "the ladies" were going, and Jinbe was happy as well, Jinbe hasn't been to a beach in so long.

Robin and Franky were happy since it will be a nice vacation for them and their friends, working on campus was draining.

"You would like it there too Brook! Vivi's family has the biggest music room I have ever seen." Nami told the older man.

"Well if you insist, Yohoho" he laughed.

Well, it was set, Zoro and his friends were going on vacation and he will get to see Luffy and his brothers home.

The weather was clearing up as they were finishing their conversation, and everyone decided to go home since it was the only chance they got before the weather gets crazy again, or at least according to Nami.

By the time Zoro got home, he was sleepy (like always). Before he knew it, he was already snoring on the couch of his dorm.

Ghost Train - a ZoLu fic - Chapter 4

Chapter 4: All Alone

A/N: Sorry guys, didn't mean to wait this long for a new chapter but I injured my finger at work and I finally able to type again. I'm also going to reply to my reviews from now on, I like seeing your feedback so much. I hope you enjoy this chapter! This is also going to be from Luffy's POV all the way up until the moment we left off from. 

 (ɔ◔‿◔)ɔ ♥

Luffy was bouncing off the walls, literally, being a ghost, he didn't have to follow the rules of physics, unlike humans. He loved the fact that the people in his town didn't demolish his house, to be fair he is still a celebrity, even in death.

Luffy was waiting for his brother to arrive, while his other one was dead to the world, (pun intended), snoring his ass off on his childhood bed.  After a few more minutes of hopping around, he felt a hand grab him by his collar.

"Luf, you're being too loud, what are you even excited for this early in the morning?" Ace, Luffy's freckled face brother asked as he was wiping the sleep away from his eyes.

"It's 1 p.m. already! also ghosts don't need to sleep," Luffy said teasingly as he was still floating above his brother, after a bit of bickering, the two noticed their brother Sabo floating into the room.

"I've only been gone for 25 minutes stop arguing, anyway Luffy, why did you want to wait until Ace woke up to tell me something?" Sabo asked as he got comfortable on his old bed.

Luffy smiled blinded the other two, "Remember, it's the anniversary of our deaths soon, and the music festival is coming up, I hear the town is planning on doing something." Luffy said excitedly, even though he can't interact with them.

Ace looked at Luffy confused, "They've been doing it since we passed 2 years ago, why are you so surprised?" Ace asked.

Luffy just rolled his eyes and comically dangled off his brother's shoulders, "Well duh Ace! It's going to be different this year, I can feel it! Maybe my person will come?"

  A brief silence was felt in the room, there were puzzled looks on the elder's faces.

  "Humor me, what feeling are you getting?" Sabo looked at his twin in concern, Ace and he found their partners before they passed, so being able to be bonded with their partner after death was only natural... but Luffy didn't get the chance to find his one and only, and they weren't sure if Luffy would ever have that chance

. Luffy got up from Ace's shoulders and flew to his bed in the room, he uncharacteristically got a bit sentimental.

"Well ...  it's rare to have a soulmate, I know that already. I remember how you both felt when you realized you could both still touch and speak to Marco and Koala." Luffy held his tears in, he was a very social person, and the fact that he can't have a friend or partner to talk to and actually touch... felt very lonely.

"I feel this huge bubble in my throat when I think about the festival coming up, I wonder if something will happen to me for once?" Luffy said dejectedly, it was worrying his brothers.

Ace and Sabo knew that Luffy was a hyperactive-social butterfly, and it made the two feel guilty, even if it wasn't their fault.

  For Ace, Marco has already made his name known in their town and is a businessman that resides here, so Ace doesn't have to worry about being alone. Sabo just started dating Koala before he passed, but of course, they were destined to be. 

Koala happened to move to Dawn Island to set up her karate dojo and Sabo managed to date her before the accident, but because they were destined to be, it was like he never left her.

So Luffy was alone, he had a lot of friends sure, but he couldn't talk to them anymore. None of his old friends visited his grave, though he was still grateful for the fans or strangers that wished him well in the afterlife

"Okay sorry, I made the mood a bit sad, but I'm, happy for you two y'know? I still have you guys, so i'm not lonely at all." Luffy said to the two, he wasn't lying exactly.

He isn't lonely because he has his older brothers, but when they spend time with their loved ones, that's when Luffy feels lonely.

(ɔ◔‿◔)ɔ ♥

After a few more hours, the trio fell asleep, while it wasn't necessary, the three felt comfortable with their mortal habits. 

Though dreaming was rare for ghosts, it's very special because, unlike many people who probably forget what they dreamt about a few minutes after they wake up, ghosts get to keep their dreams as if they were a memory.

Speaking of, Luffy was fast asleep and snoring as loudly as he can be, but then he felt something coming.

He was about to have a dream and he did not want to mess this up, it was a few moments of waiting before he saw a shadowed face.

Luffy felt overjoyed, he finally gets to talk to someone, even if it is a dream. Luffy was trying to pay attention but it seemed that the dream he was having wanted to keep secrets from him as well, 'stupid dream' he thought before he was brought to a change in scenery

He was sitting on a balcony facing the mysterious figure.

"So how long are you staying here?" he asked suddenly, having no idea why he started with that, maybe he'll ask Sabo when he woke up, he rather not think too hard about it.

"I think the whole summer, I go back to school for the last time around September, " a baritone voice replied, all Luffy can see was a small smirk on the mystery man's face.

"Well make sure to come back, I'll miss you, you're the first company I personally had in a while,"  Luffy spoke again, not aware what words are coming from his mouth. 

He was trying to not wake up, 'does this mean this is  viz? viso?... oh whatever, a future thingy?' he thought to himself. He focused again when he felt a touch on his hand.

"I promise," the man spoke, he curled his pinky finger around Luffy after those words were spoken, and Luffy was now wide awake.

"Hey Luffy, wake up," Ace was shaking Luffy's shoulder.

It has been a few days since they last spoke, of course sleeping for a few hours for a ghost would actually mean a few days have passed in the human realm.

"Marco and Koala are stopping by, they wanted some of our input." Ace told the younger.

"Why did you wake me up then, they can only see you two since you're both bonded pairs?" Luffy was now rubbing the sleep from his eyes.

"Well we can still have your input, we would just need to let them know what you say." Sabo said as he was getting 'ready' as if he hasn't been wearing the same clothes forever.

"Sure, sure fine, just let me know when they stop by, I was having a nice dream." Luffy moped slightly.

Then in one second, both brothers had their attention fully on Luffy.

"You had a dream!? What was it about?" Ace asked, he had stars in his eyes

. "Geez Luf, you can't say that out of the blue, that's big news." Sabo sat next to Luffy with a big smile.

'Oh yeah, I forgot it was rare to dream already' Luffy thought.

"Well?! aren't you going to tell us?" Ace and Sabo both asked

. Luffy smiled at the two, after explaining the very short dream to the two, they heard a knock on the door.

Ace got up to get the door while Sabo was thinking, "that sounds like a vision Luffy? Were there any other hints?"

'VISON, that's the word' Luffy thought for a second before replying.

From what he could gather from the dream, it was somewhere close because he saw the statues that the town made for them from the balcony, they were in a beach house most likely. And also...

  "OH SHIT!" Luffy smiled so hard that if he were mortal, his cheeks would've definitely ripped.

"I think it is a vision Sab! I can see the decorations for the festival that's coming up!" Luffy was giddy at the information.

Ace overheard the two but open the door for their guest, "Hello Koala" he smiled at the woman before she walked in.

"Hey, tiger!" Ace was now faced to face with Marco, of course used to his antics, Marco just snorted and pushed Ace away to say hello to the others.

"Hey Sabo, and Luffy if you're here?" Marco spoke as he sat down on Ace's bed, Koala was on Sabo's.

"Hey Pineapple!" Luffy said to the mortal's deaf ears, of course, Ace and Sabo heard it just fine.

"He said hi back Marco" Sabo told the man while Ace was snickering at his boyfriend's nickname.

After some small talk, Marco and Koala told the brothers that they were hosting the concert for the festival this year and they wanted to ask their partners what songs they should pick.

After a few suggestions from Ace and Sabo, they took some from Luffy, now aware of how their brother feels about their relationships, they definitely wanted to include him as much as they could as they were all family, even if the two humans could only see their partners..

.

.

. .After the twins bid their lovers goodbye, Luffy was still thinking about the man in his dream.

'Is he my soulmate? He touched me? Luffy thought to himself.

Well, he'll sleep again, maybe by the next time he wakes up, it'll be time for the festival.
