2. The Boy That Carries Joy
"Who are you?"
Luffy looked up from her bed and saw the young feminine standing by her bed wearing a nightgown and her hairpin into a bun. He sat up fully and looked around to find out he wasn't in his room anymore. Her room looked very different, only a bit girlish for her taste.
"Where am I? Who're you?" He asked.
"I asked you first. What are you doing in my room?" She demanded.
"I don't know how I got here. I was asleep in my room and slept through the night after eating a full meal." He stood up after climbing off the bed and looked around before looking out her window.
Below was a massive city with many bright lights almost blinding him, but the moon shone as the stars twinkled around the night sky.
"Where's the ocean?" He asked.
"Hm? We're miles away from the beach since this is (country name)." You replied.
"(Country name)? I never even heard of it." Said Luffy.
"Um, okay. I think you need to leave because you might've bumped your head and--" She paused to see that Luffy wasn't looking at her before staring back down with his hat covering his eyes.
"We're not at the ocean; this world isn't like my own. I don't know if...my crew knows I am gone." He whispered.
You stood there listening as he continued staring out of the glass window.
"Hey, are you okay?" You asked.
He turned back at you, saying, "I didn't mean to invade your space or anything. I don't belong here or know how to return to my world." He turned his heel to leave out of your room and down the hallway. You followed after him to see him heading towards the front door.
Many things told you to stop him from leaving and let him stay. However, you knew nothing about him or at least knew his name. Plus, he doesn't know where to go or has a place to live.
"W-Wait!" You shouted.
He stopped in his tracks before touching the doorknob as he turned back to look at you. You went over to him immediately as he stood there, not moving.
"Y-You can stay here. I know you might get lost, and this place is a big place for you to be in." You said as Luffy looked at your desperation to have him stay.
A wide grin on his face formed as he wrapped his arms around you.
"You mean it?! I'm glad!" He chimed.
"O-Of course. What's your name?" You asked.
"I'm Monkey D. Luffy." He replied.
"I'm Y/N L/N."
Luffy unwrapped himself from around your waist as he looked down at you, smiling wide-eyed.
'He's pretty cute even though he broke into my....NO! Stop it!' You thought and straightened yourself up.
"Well, since you're staying here in my place, you'll be sleeping on the couch." You said as you turned your heel to one of the closets near the bathroom. You opened it, and it was just junk: Winter gear, umbrellas, boots, coats, and on the top shelf were extra blankets if needed.
You stood on your tippy toes, trying to reach it, and that's when Luffy extended his arm. He grabbed the top blanket and another to bring it into his arms.
"Got it." He said you were standing there with your mouth dropped to the ground.
"H-How did you...your arms..." You stuttered.
"I could stretch my arms like this because I ate a devil fruit." He replied.
"What's that?" You asked.
"It's where you can get your power from, but you'll lose your ability to swim." Said Luffy.
You shook your head and shut the door before taking the blankets from him. You both entered the living room and began laying it out; the other one was for the top, where he'll sleep underneath.
"Okay, that'll do." You said.
"Gee, thanks Y/N." Said Luffy as he was about to get under the covers when you stopped him for a moment.
"Don't you want to shower before getting comfortable?" You asked.
"Oh, yeah! Do you have anything for me to wear while I..."
"I'll find something. Go on." You said, gesturing him over to the bathroom to get himself clean.
While you were in your room looking for something for the young boy to wear while he showered. You've only found an oversize grey hoodie and black pants. You grabbed those, headed back to Luffy's bathroom, and knocked on the door.
"Luffy! I found a pair of clothes for you, and I hope they fit." As the door opened, you muttered the last part under your breath, revealing the hot steaming room from his hot shower.
Luffy peeked from behind the door, just for you to see his shirtless chest with a large "X" marked across his chest. Your face flustered from seeing a cute boy to a hot pecked man.
"Thanks, Y/N." He said, taking the clothes from you and shutting the door in your face.
You were standing there like an idiot, and it was so weird to be with someone that you don't know anything about their personal life could be so hot. Afterward, Luffy came out of the bathroom and entered the living room wearing the outfit you'd given him, and it fit.
"Oh, they fit you. That's good." You said.
"Yeah, it looks great. Thanks." Said Luffy.
You looked at the clock on the wall. It was already 1: 34 AM, and you had a class starting around 8.
"We better get some shut-eye. We've...I mean, I have a long day tomorrow." You said.
"Okay. Goodnight." Said Luffy, and he watched you leave out of the room, returning back to yours.
You sighed, entered your room, and crawled into bed before turning off the lamplight.
"What am I going to do about tomorrow?"

Next Day 6:23 AM
You were up the next morning getting yourself ready while the day awaited. Luffy was still asleep on the couch, and you were dressed in a dark purple shirt with stripe long black sleeves, black leggings, and a pair of socks with FNAF on them. You were in the kitchen making breakfast and making pancakes, sausages, bacon, and scramble eggs with a glass of orange juice or coffee.
Luffy was on the couch until he smelt the food and was drooling in his sleep. His eyes opened slowly and fluttered as he realized he was still in the same room from last night. He thought last night was a dream, but he went to the kitchen to peek around the corner to see you were preparing breakfast.
"...It wasn't a dream." He murmured.
You whip your head around to see he is wide awake, and your smile over at him.
"Good morning, Luffy! Breakfast is ready." You said, holding a dish for him as he walked over to take it from you.
"Thanks." He said, with a smile on his face.
You were finishing up the meal you cooked and placed it on the dish. There were some leftovers on another plate, and you went to join Luffy, who ate like a savage.
"Whoa, slow down, or you'll choke." You joked.
Luffy was chewing his meal and slowing down as he ate. He was starving and had a big appetite for eating something Sanji would prepare for him.
"I like the breakfast you made. It tastes great!" He beamed.
"I'm flattered. Thank you." You took a bite from your pancakes as Luffy watched you in silence.
"What are you going to do, today?" He asked.
"I have to go to school and later on to work." You replied.
"School?" He repeated.
"You never been to school?" You asked.
"No."
You slowly nodded in understanding that most kids or adults have not been to school. It was a lot of money to get them enrolled into one or just home schooled them is a better fitting for them.
"It's alright, I understand." You said.
As usual the same idiotic smile was appearing on his face again.
"Will you come back later on?" He asked.
"I would come back, after I finish two things at a certain time." You replied.
"Oh..."
You looked at the time and it was already 6: 57 and you had plenty of time before leaving your place so early.
"What do you do for fun?" Luffy asked.
"Uh, I play video games, read, watch horror films, and--"
"I never did any of those things before. Can you show me?" He asked.
"Yes, but don't interrupt me. It's rude." You scolded.
"Sorry."
You got up to show Luffy your Playstation 5 where all the game collections are stored underneath a box.
"These are some video games that I have and mostly beaten." You replied.
"Cool! Can I try one?" He asked.
"Go ahead."
Luffy looked in the box to find any game that he would like to play first. He found one and it was called Mortal Kombat as he opened the case and put the disk inside. When you turned it on just for him as the screen lit up and you had the controller that was fully charged.
"Here you go. This goes with it while you play." You said.
"Cool. How do I use it?" You asked.
He pressed a random shape on the controller getting him to the title screen as the Mortal Kombat theme song played. His eyes twinkled as you giggled at him, and then you showed him what to do.
"You can pick any character, and there's a story line you can watch and play through to beat the other characters in the game. They have instructions in order to get a combo." You explained.
"Whoa...alright, I think I got this!" he said with full of confidence.
"I'm sure. Anyway, I have to go now, Luffy. Will you be okay?" You asked.
"Yeah, i'll be fine." He said, looking over at you and back at the screen to play the game by choosing a character that was Scorpio against another opponent.
"Okay..."
