Mihawk 9 by PsychoCircus774





             
Thankfully luck decided to shine upon you once again, and the storm that day had cause quickly dissipated. Law’s birthday was that weekend and you were going to go out with him and a few of the others for dinner, but David quickly shut that down. Since you were allowed to attend school for the rest of the week David said you had to stay home the entire weekend, your body needed rest and it was going to get it one way or another. Law was alright with it, since he was all for you getting rest. Of course, that didn’t mean you didn’t feel bad for missing his birthday dinner. The rest of the month passes without any other incidents. School stays mellow, and it was almost like nothing had even happened.

 

              When Halloween came around you were excited for the movie marathon you and David always had. You’d put a big bowl of candy at the end of the driveway with a sign that said “ONLY TAKE TWO PIECES OF CANDY” and a fake zombie head. Then you and David would pop some popcorn, make whatever drinks you wanted, turn off all the lights, and beginning a horror movie marathon. David had picked the movies last year, so this year it was your turn. Last year it was just the two of you, but this year you decided to invite Smoker and Pat over. Smoker said he would be able to come, but it was highly likely that he might get called out. Pat said why the hell not and put himself in charge of the liquor. A few days before Halloween Pat pulled you aside at the dojo. He had a plan for the marathon, and he wasn’t halfway through explaining it to you before you agreed.

              Luffy invited you out to a party on Halloween but you told him you already had your marathon. It made Luffy sad, since he wanted to see what you would dress up as. You didn’t feel bad for telling Luffy that you couldn’t go, and you were super excited for the marathon.

              The night of the marathon had arrived, and you could barely keep yourself calm. David still had no idea about the movies that you’d pick, and he just assumed you were excited to have Smoker and Pat over. Technically that was true, but you were way more excited to scare the shit out of your older brother. Pat had everything on his end in place so all there was to do now to wait until it was time to start the marathon. The popcorn and drinks were all set, you had the stack of DVD’s Pat gave you at the dojo tucked away in your room, so all that was left was for Smoker and Pat to arrive.

              David came in the front door, having just put the bowl of candy at the end of the driveway.

              “You ready Sparrow?” he asks.

              You nod excitedly from your armchair in the living room. Fish was curled up in your lap, purring happily as you scratched behind his ears. David went into the kitchen and came back out a few minutes later with the popcorn, other snacks, and drinks all in his arms. He set all the snacks on the coffee table in front of the couch and passes you your drink.

              “It’s really good to see relaxing again,” he says taking a seat on the couch.

              “It is,” you reply, “It’s also good that everything’s been staying calm in school.”

              David smiles,

              “You handled the pep rally really well. Same with homecoming.”

              The giggle was spilling from your lips before you could stop it at the mention of the pep rally. You had handled it really well; you didn’t try to bolt at any point, and you even took the opportunity to throw a pie in Law’s face before all the seniors ran out. And in truth David should be saying that he handled you going to homecoming well. There wasn’t anyone you wanted to ask you and you didn’t plan to go until Law asked if you were interested. He had to tell David a thousand times that the two of you were just going as friends. A knock on the door cut your conversation short.

              “Must be Pat and Smokey,” you say.

              David nods and gets up. It is indeed Pat and Smoker at the door when David opens it, as Smoker insisted on driving Pat over from his small apartment near the dojo. Pat took the spot on the couch that was closest to you, Smoker took the other end, and David took the middle.

              “You ready kiddo?” Pat asks you with a wink.

              You giggle again and nod,

              “So ready.”

              “Well then let’s get started,” David says, “The movies are in your room right Sparrow?”

              You nod and stand up, setting Fish back in your spot before heading to your room to grab the stack of DVD’s in your desk. The smile on your face when you walked back into the living room was impossible to miss. You walk over to the TV and squat down in front of the DVD player, and the stack of DVD’s goes next to it. The movies that Pat picked out where in a specific. The first two were obvious vampire movies were as the ones you’d be watching later were obviously vampy. You slide the first DVD into the player and go back to your seat. Fish makes himself comfortable in your lap again and Pat grabs the remotes to start the movie.

              When it got to the point in the first movie where things starting going vampy, you started watching David closely. It was rare you ever took an opportunity to spook David with one of the few things he was actually afraid of. Plus, you understood why David hated the pale, undead bloodsuckers. Back when David was little, your mother had just gotten pregnant with you, he got separated from some of his friends at this horror fest thing. David doesn’t like talking about what happened but, all you can remember is that by time one of his friend’s parents found David, he was pale as a sheet and shaking terribly. He wouldn’t get too mad at you for the movie selection, that much you knew, but he definitely wouldn’t be happy with it.

              “Hey Sparrow, you mind getting some more popcorn?” David asks.

              You’d just finished the last subtly vampy movie and were about to dive into the more obvious ones.

              “Of course,” you reply with a smile.

              This time Fish goes with you into the kitchen, after you check to make sure what you’ll need is still in your pocket. Once you’re in the kitchen, and after you stick the popcorn in the microwave, you move over to the kitchen table with Fish in your arms.

              “This isn’t gonna hurt buddy,” you whisper scratching under his chin.

              Fish chirps and rubs against your hand. You pull out the small plastic container that Pat had given to you along with the stack of DVD’s back at the dojo. Inside the container were a set of vampire fangs that had been specially made for cats, which would just slip over Fish’s teeth. Pat had assured you that the fake fangs were safe, as he had done his research before purchasing them. They were probably your favorite part of this whole plan. Fish had no problem with you gently opening his mouth and slipping the fangs over his teeth. Once you were done he licked them a lot but never tried to take them out. This made you smile and cuddle your kitty close to your chest,

              “You’re amazing Fishy.”

              The chirp Fish let’s out sounds a little weird because of the fangs, which makes you laugh. The popcorn finishes popping and you dump it in a bowl. You set Fish down and take the popcorn back into the living room, knowing he’ll follow her.

              “You can start the next movie Smokey,” you say, setting the popcorn on the coffee table before returning to your seat.

              Pat starts the next movie. Just as the beginning credits finish rolling you notice Fish jump up on the back of the couch behind David. You put your hand over your mouth and keep the laughs from spilling out. It wasn’t hard to tell when David started to get a little uncomfortable. The first couple of movies weren’t too bad because even though they did have vampires in them, they weren’t the focus of the movies. This movie was very much about vampires, and they weren’t very friendly.  David shifted uneasily in his seat but you doubted that he’d get up and leave. Fish moves on the back of the couch closer to Smoker, but David didn’t pay him any mind.

              About halfway through the movie David definitely wasn’t having a good time. Neither Pat nor Smoker said anything, and you were focusing on the movie while occasionally glancing over at Fish. After stretching Fish turned around and chirped, now facing David. At first David still didn’t notice your adorable cat, but Fish got his attention by chirping again and batting at his ear.

              “What’s up Fish-” David stops for a moment, acknowledging the fangs Fish now had.

              At that exact moment, the movie cut to a close-up shot of one of the vampires and the instrumental came roaring back. David jumps and shoots back over the couch. He manages not to knock Fish off, and in the next moment all you can see are his feet. For a moment, no one says anything; then you, Smoker, and Pat bust out laughing. Smoker looks over at Pat and shakes his head,

              “You’re still one sneaky bastard Pat.”

              Pat looks at Smoker and takes a sip of his drink,

              “What the hell are you talking about Smoker?”

              Smoker and Pat start laughing again, you start laughing harder. Fish chirps, walks across the back of the couch, and then jumps back over to your lap.

 

              October passed easily and November came just as so.

              Everything stayed as mellow as it had been, and you finally felt yourself settling into your new environment. You were comfortable, for the most part, with all your classes; workshop being the only one you still weren’t completely comfortable with. Franky wasn’t a bad teacher, it was just his personality didn’t mix well with yours. You didn’t hold anything against him, since he was such a cool teacher and was willing to work with your clumsiness. November felt like it was flying by. Tests came and went and you did well on all of them. The temperature was finally starting to drop down and stay low.

 

              “Hey (Name)!”

              You look up from your desk to see walking in with Nami and Usopp. It was first period and Law had texted you saying that he and Bepo would be arriving a little late because of a bad accident on the route they took to school. So, you had waited for the bell to ring and walked to the classroom by yourself.

              “Hey Chopper, what’s up?” you ask.

              Chopper stops next to your desk and pulls a piece of paper out of his backpack,

              “Remember that fieldtrip that Law and I were talking about earlier this week?”

              You nod,

              “The one to the aquarium, right?”

              Chopper nods and puts the piece of paper on the desk,

              “There were a couple leftover permissions slips and our teacher said we could give them to our friends if we wanted to. Would you wanna go?”

              You hadn’t been to the aquarium in the city in a very long time. It sounded like fun.

              “I’d love to, thanks Chopper,” you reply.

              Chopper smiled big before continuing to his desk.

              Law and Bepo slid into the classroom the second before the bell rang. He was surprised when you said you had already gotten a permission slip when he asked you if you would be interested in going on the aquarium trip. Then you told him that Chopper had asked you earlier.

             

              The day of the trip came fast. Law and Bepo picked you up at home early, and you all stopped at a coffee shop before heading to the school. You were surprised to see Mihawk waiting with the other teachers when the three of you arrives. Law then informed you that Mihawk was a last-minute substitute because one of the biology teachers had called out sick. Everyone attending the trip was on a bus and heading to the city before the rest of the school started to arrive. You sat with Chopper on the bus, Law and Bepo sat behind you.

              On the way to the city Chopper managed to coax you into singing any of the songs you knew that came on the radio. It was almost like the bus driver knew exactly was station to play on the bus. There was a speaker right above the seat you and Chopper were in so you could hear the music well. You were singing along with what felt like every other song. Chopper joined you, of course, in the songs he knew. Law and Bepo would join in as well from time to time, with all the fun you were having on the bus you were excited to see what would happen when you got to the aquarium. Out of the four of you, no one had noticed that Mihawk was sitting one seat in front of them across the aisle.

              At the aquarium, everyone slip up and ‘check-in’ times were set. You, Chopper, Law and Bepo immediately set out on your own. It had been so long since you’d been to the aquarium, you’d forgotten how big it was.

              The four of you were walk through a beautiful tropical area. You and Chopper had been humming different songs the whole time, and Chopper decided now would be a great time to do some more actual singing. An appropriate song came to mind and he smiles wide. He starts humming the tune before adding in the words.

               “The seaweed is always greener
                In somebody else's lake
                You dream about going up there
                But that is a big mistake

              You smile and pick up right where Chopper left off.

              Just look at the world around you
               Right here on the ocean floor

               Such wonderful things surround you
               What more is you lookin' for
?”

              The two of you share a quickly glance before joining for the chorus.

              Under the sea
               Under the sea

               Darling it's better
               Down where it's wetter
               Take it from me
