Work Text:
You woke up early, more early than usual actually. It was your birthday and you had everything ready to show that you were celebrating it. It made you feel good the breakfast you got that morning.
Everyone around you had wished you a happy birthday, even your boss Sir Crocodile said happy birthday, not directly, but in his own way giving you the afternoon free from work if you finish early and leaving you to go out and do whatever you want. It made you very happy, and more the gift that Buggy left you, a face cream you used that day.
Buggy, was like an annoying little brother to you. Rarely when you weren’t at work you would spend time with him, sometimes he would prank you.
This time he has gone very far with them.
That face cream was going to turn your face red, just like if you had painted over it. Buggy was giggling to his idea, it was the best birthday prank he could have give you. Later on he was going to give you a cake, probably smash it on your face on it, who knows, he just anticipated for that reaction of yours.
As the hours had gone by, you did your best to focus on your paperwork in hopes to finish early, excited on to what you could do in your special day, maybe go to a spa or go eat your favorite food or maybe buy the things you have been eyeing on, since you been saving a lot of spending money for today. Okey, you need to stop and focus on your work, otherwise you will never finish. You thought to yourself.
You look in the mirror and then you scream, making your boss almost drop his cigar. You furiously ran out of your shared office, leaving a Crocodile confuse of what must have happened. He was definitely going to yell at you for doing that.
“BUGGY!!!” You scream furiously approaching his room, making him fall off and hide.
“BUGGY!!! IM GOING TO KILL YOU!!!” You screamed furiously.
“BUGGY ANSWER ME!!!” You said spinning around the room searching for him, the rage and itchiness had you blind.
“BUGGY! YOU EAT SHITTING CLOWN WHERE ARE YOU!!” You scream again, and scratch your neck.
He saw your face and was mortified when he saw the skin rashes growing on your face. As you scratch your neck in desperation looking around for him.
“DAMN YOU CLOWN!!! I WILLL MUDER YOU!!!” You screaming left the room, in search for him.
Buggy was horrified and mortified, now he was in deep shit.
Buggy ran out of the room, in opposite direction from you in hope not to encounter you. It’s been minutes now in the hallways he encouters Galdino.
“Galdino have you seen Crocodile’s assisatan?!” Buggy asked scare and desperate.
“I just know they came out screaming from Crocodile’s office, they had rashes all over their face” Galdino responded.
“Face rashes?!” Buggy repeated shocked, even when he saw it with his own eyes he still couldn’t believe the rashes you had.
“Rashes or some type of acne. I don’t know, but they look horrible” Galdino responded.
Buggy’s face drop and then worries for what will happen to him start rising now.
“What’s the matter? Did you have to do something with it?” Galdino asked him, smirking already knowing the answer.
“I don’t know what went wrong they were suppose to turn red like face paint the scream was suppose to be a small birthdays prank, were they furious?” Buggy jaw had dropped and went back right at his face as he talked scare for his life.
“Furious? Furious is very little” Galdino said.
“They going to send me to the after life, im going to die!” Buggy whine in terror.
“Have you dig your grave yet?” Galdino asked touching his nose making a honk noise.
“Noo!” Buggy slap his hand away.
Buggy heard your screaming voice and went on running out, making Galdino crack a laugh.
Sadly, when you went to find Galdino on the hallway Buggy was long gone, Galdino not giving you too many details of where he went and giving you nasty looks. It’s been hours and your face itches now, you had to pull bold moves.
You entered the Mihawk’s room he was having tea with Perona when they both turn to look at you shocked, at least Mihawk kept his shock hidden.
“Where is that imbecile you two call ‘partner’!?!?” You said entering furiously.
Mihawk and Perona looked at you, both still in shock.
“What happen?” Mihawk asked calmly, putting his tea down after he gave a sip.
“He gifted me a face cream for my birthday and I used it this mornig” You responded.
“Gross… Happy birthday” Perona said, looking at you, gross out and shocked with her hands on her face.
“What could have gone wrong?” Perona asked.
“Why would have this gone right?! Where was my head at for trusting that stupid clown!” You said hysterically.
“That’s not suppose to happen with face creams“ Perona said standing up.
“Well then it happen!” You responded back desperate.
“I could try to help you, it seems to get very bad though” Perona said standing up and flying up to you.
“Then move! I can’t have my face to look like this! it’s itching my whole face and it’s going to my neck!” You said desperately scratching.
Perona was about to rushed out until Buggy burst in.
“MIHAWCK YOU HAVE TO-“ Buggy looks around all of you three.
You stop scratching and you look at Buggy furious.“MIHAWK! PLEASE HELP ME!” Buggy yelled entering the room.
“CROCODILE’S ASSISTANT IS AFTER… me..” He stop after he saw you, Perona and Mihawk and started screaming after you started running towards him at full speed.
“That smells very good, I need to get a spoon of that” Alvina said, looking around for a spoon after smelling the food one of the chef was cooking up, Mr. 1 had gone inside looking for something to drink.
Alvina scream at the sight of a bodiless hand giving her a spoon, alerting Mr. 1.
“SHHH!” A voice said, the a hand opened a cabinet showing Buggy’s head inside.a cabinet.
“What are you doing!?” Alvina asked Buggy.
Buggy’s body part had jump out of the kitchen cabinet and had come together to make him whole.
“They have their face full of rashes and they want to kill me! Haave you seen their face?” Buggy said, Alvina was confuse, but Mr. 1 had already know what had happened. Buggy said.
“Yes, I have, I dont want to say horrible, but they look very bad” Mr. 1 said in a calm manner.
“You don’t even have to mention it!” Buggy yelled.
“What?” Alvina asked, looking at Daz.
“I’ll explain it to you later” Mr. 1 responded, looking back at her.
“The cream was supposed to be a prank! The cream was supposed to be a prank to turn their face red like facepaint no full of rashes!”
“I can imagine what kind of stupidity you pulled on them, thankfully not me” Alvida said touching her face, imagining what he could have done to your face.
“I dont know what happen! Maybe they used the cream wrong or mixed it! or something! Pleasee the gods from above on the sky protect me!” Buggy begged.
“Hell no! You can protect yourself outside!” Alvina yelled.
“But where am I suppose to go?!” Buggy asked.
“Outside go! Now!” Alvida yelled ready to kick him out, but Buggy bails.
Alvina looks back to Mr. 1, she chuckles a little and he shakes his head on how crazy the situation was. The den den moshi shows up it was a call from Crocodile to Mr. 1.
“Daz, where did my asistant ran off to?” Crocodile
“Last time I saw them they were in Mihawk’s office, after that they were running after Buggy” Daz Bones responded.
Of course that clown can never be out of trouble, Crocodile thought to himself. I got no time to be fooling around, bring them to me” Croccodile said and Mr. 1 hanged up, now he was in search of you.
“Bring me that clown and my assistance at once” Crocodile said before hanging up.
After Crocodile put the den-den moshi down, Mihawk and Perona came in, Perona holding skin products.
“Mihawk, Perona” Crocodile said acknowledging they presence in his office.
“Do you have any knowledge of what is going on between your assistant and that clown?” Mihawk said, making Crocodile sight and light up a cigar.
“I can’t be dealing with this” Crocodile said, exhaling the smoke from his mouth.
There was silence for a moment, before a loud screaming and yelling was heard, Daz now had join the situation, calmly preventing you from sending Buggy to meet his own creator and a filed of flower.
You grab Buggy by his hair while you walked At Crocodile’s office everyone had gathered around, tracking you and Buggy and solve that issue that was going on.
“I don’t hire you to scream and shout or to be fooling around with clowns” Crocodile said to you, after you ran off like that.
“Im very sorry sir, it will never happen again, I promise” You said apologetic.
“And you..” Crocodile turned to a very beat up Buggy. “How many times I told you to leave my assistant alone with those stupid pranks?”
“I’m very sorry, I won’t pull anymore pranks anymore” Buggy whine as his body kneel on the floor and his head being on Crocodile’s desk.
Crocodile grabs Buggy’s hair and tosses his head back to his beaten up body. While Perona use face products to heal the rashes on your face
“I don’t even know how to thank you enough, Perona. You are a live savior, you are even doing so much for the cross guild, unlike certain clown”
“No problem! Although you should go follow a skin care routine more often, or go to a spa, we can go to-“ Perona interrupted by you.
“Okey, I get it, it’s bad. How long will it heal?” You asked.
“A month” Perona crossing her arms, not liking about you interrupted her.
“A month!?!” You said, you just wanted to kill yourself right there and there.
“A month! So, don’t go around without any facial cream or skin route!” Perona pouted.
“Im going to kill myself, and before doing so, im going to drag you to hell with me, Buggy!” You said passive aggressively, turning to look at Buggy.
“How is this my fault?! How was I supposed to know the prank was going to go this wrong!” Buggy said getting up in your face.
“Are you for real? Are you seriously asking-“ You said painfully grabbing his nose.
“Quiet, you two. As a matter for right now, I need you both to stop fooling around and get back to work, you are falling behind and you need to get us more money, without surpassing the budget”
“Yes sir” Buggy and you said in Unison.
That day you lost your free day because of what happen, not only that you were exhausted, thankfully you had done some work done you ran off to kill Buggy. After you finished, Buggy had came up to you later that day, he apologize and brought you a cupcake that you threw at his face, making you both even.
