Living with Luffy as your boyfriend is eventful. Besides needing to buy groceries every three days because of his endless appetite, you also have to play with him since he gets bored easily. Sometimes, it feels more like taking care of a child than being in a relationship, but even so, you love him so much, and he loves you just as much.

So, on a typical night, Luffy is playing games with Zoro on his PC while you do your skincare at the vanity.
“ZORO! GO! GO! AHHHH!” Luffy yells, as always.
“Luffy, keep it down! Some of our neighbors are sleeping,” you remind him. He looks at you with wide eyes and replies, “Sorry! Shishishishi.” You smile and continue your skincare routine, enjoying the familiar chaos of your evenings together.

A few minutes later, you see Luffy standing up and walking over to you. “What is it?” you ask as you apply retinol to your face. “What is that?” he curiously asks, tilting his head. “A retinol,” you answer. “Retritrol?” You laugh at his confusion. “No, baby, it’s re-ti-nol. It’s for my skin to help me not look old.” He looks at you seriously, like he’s really thinking about it. “Can I try it?”
“You want to do skincare?”
“Yep!”
You smile and say, “Okay, wait for me to finish. I’ll do your skincare in the meantime. Go take a shower, change clothes, and wash your face with my cleanser, okay?”
“YES, MA'AM!”
His head is resting on your lap while his whole body sprawls across the bed. You sit at the end of the bed, surrounded by your skincare products. “This feels funny,” Luffy laughs as you spread the moisturizer on his face. He tries to lick it, but you playfully slap his shoulder, making him grin even wider.
“That smells good! I want to eat it! Can I eat it?” he asks, attempting to lick his lips. You laugh, “No! That’s a sleeping lip mask, babe!” He pouts, looking genuinely disappointed. “But it smells like strawberry, like the one Sanji made for us last week! That one was really good… ahhh, I want one now!” And there he goes, excitedly talking about the strawberry shortcake you had last week.
You listen carefully as he rambles on about how good Sanji is at cooking and how his grandpa makes delicious meals. He even shares a funny story about the time his brother Ace tried to cook for his girlfriend but almost burned down the house. You nod along, smiling as you finish his skincare routine.
“And done! You look good and new,” you say with a smile. “OH WOW! I LOOK SHINY! I SHOULD CALL ZORO! Shishishi!” Before you can even stop him, he dashes back to his PC to call his best friend.
With Luffy occupied, it’s finally time for your tea and a good book!
