"Today has sucked!" Bonney blurts as she reaches your table, a deep frown etched into her features as she throws her bag and thin jacket down into a spare chair before plopping down in the empty one beside it. 

You often meet the pinkette at this café on your lunch break since she lives outside of town and only really comes around in order to work - luckily your shifts usually start at the same time, despite working at very different establishments, so your lunchtimes line up perfectly.

At this point, you've become regulars and Makino is very used to serving you both, even to the point of remembering your orders off by heart. You can vaguely see the lady through the window beginning to pour the coffee as Bonney rants to you. 

Sadly the café is very busy today so you must drink your coffee and eat your muffin outside, at least it's a warm day so it's not all bad. 

"What happened?" You ask your friend, finally allowing her to let rip.

Bonney is quite well known for her short temper so when she's having a bad day, you know damn well you're going to hear all about it. 

"Well my car burst into flames on the way to work for no reason!"

She was likely speeding, Bonney does that a lot....definitely probably blew her engine up.

"So I had to stop on the side of the road in the middle of fuckin' nowhere!" She continues, her hands irritably flailing around as she speaks and earning a very placid nod from yourself in return. "I had to wait for somebody to stop and help because my phone died, a random trucker eventually came and tried to fix it but he couldn't so he drove me to work - and I'm grateful 'n' all but - I didn't know him so I was fearing for my life the whole way! And when I finally got there, Buggy fired me because I was super late and I have no way of getting home until Ace's shift finishes so I've just been walking laps around the fuckin' town because there's jack-shit else to do around here!"

Okay, you'll hand it to her. That sounds like a pretty shitty time. 

The girl finally letting out a deep sigh as she leans her elbow against the table and props her palm against her face, although Makino brings a small smile to her lips when she rushes out with your coffees and cakes, placing them down neatly on the table. 

"Here ya go, girls~! Please enjoy~!" She cheerfully blurts before rushing herself back inside, tending to one of her other many customers. 

"Poor thing, her feet must be killing her." You lowly mumble, earning a small nod from Bonney as the pinkette reaches for her drink - though much to your horror you see a large white lump fall from the sky, landing directly into the hot drink and causing Bonney to stare at it in silence for a moment before her purple eyes begin to fill with rage.

Did...a bird just shit in her drink? 

"Great!" She hisses through gritted teeth, dropping the mug back down to the table as her body quivers with anger, her watery gaze shifting back to meet yours. "I can't even afford a replacement because Buggy may not pay me for this week!"

"What? Doesn't he have to pay you though, even if you were fired?!"

"Legally, yes. But he has ways of getting around it, he's dodged it before when he's fired somebody. Bastard has good lawyers." 

Wow...it really isn't her day.

"On top of that," She continues, apparently she hasn't even finished describing her misfortune yet, the girl taking a bite out of her cake to steady her emotions before she speaks again, her voice slightly muffled by chewed up food. "My landlord wants my flat so I have to find somewhere else to live before the end of the month...how the fuck am I supposed to find somewhere else to live when I'm unemployed?! Nobody will accept me!"

Okay, no, you'd definitely have killed somebody by now if you were having a day like this.

Although, you have been struggling a little with rent as of late.

Having somebody else living with you might help but you'll need her to find a new job if you want this plan to work. 

"Okay, here's the plan." You confidently state as your brain conjures up an idea, bringing your coffee to your lips and gently blowing the liquid to cool it down before taking a sip and continuing. "You can take my keys and go to my house, it's within walking distance so you'll be fine. When I'm done at work, I'll take you to yours and you can grab your essentials and come back to mine, be my roommate while you get back on your feet. I can ask Shanks if he has any jobs going at work and we can work together on the rent."

Shanks is your boss but he's a relaxed and kind guy, surely he'll be happy to take on a friend of yours. Especially if it helps you with rent. 

"You'd do that?" The pinkette's smile finally making a reappearance to her face, well that is until somebody exits the café, accidentally knocking into your table as they pass and causing Bonney's contaminated coffee to fall into her lap. 

Jesus! Can she just smile in peace, please?!

Naturally the girl has had just about enough, a small hiss escaping her lips as the steaming drink burns her legs and her face turning as red as a chilli pepper whilst her neck snaps toward the poor fool and she blurts "WATCH WHAT YOU'RE FUCKIN--!" However she stops herself rather quickly, her eyes widening and her voice getting stuck in her throat as her sights land on two tall blonde men.

What's wrong with her?

Your gaze follows hers toward the men and sure, they've stopped to look down at her but neither of them have said a word. 

One has short blonde hair and a red suit with a black shirt and bright red tie. The other has longer hair, mostly hidden by a red beanie hat. He also sports a fancy dress-shirt and a black feathery coat.

And they both wear glasses that completely cover their eyes.

Sure, they look wealthy but not scary. 

The two don't say anything, instead just turning their attention back to the street as they begin to walk away once again, something that infuriates you greatly. 

"Oi! She was talking to you!" You blurt out, immediately being shushed by Bonney in return but you ignore her. "You made her spill her coffee, the least you could do is apologize! Stupid oath!" 

The two stop once again, the one in the red suit turning to you, you can feel him glaring from behind his shades but the other one seems at least remorseful - the longer-haired male holding his hand up apologetically as his other hand reaches into his pocket, pulling out his wallet and opening it, grabbing a £10 note and placing it on the table while offering a slight bow of his head. 

What the hell? Is this guy a mime or something? 

Although, the other man still seems irritated with you, his stare lingering on your much smaller frame for a moment as his friend begins to walk but he soon turns to walk along side his companion, lowly rumbling "You should've told her to piss off." under his breath. 

Rich assholes!

However when your gaze turns back to Bonney, the girl looks utterly horrified. 

"Are you insane?! Do you know who they are?!" 

"No? Should I?" Quite frankly, all they seem like to you is rude pieces of shit. 

"They're the Donquixote brothers! They're basically like the mafia around here!"

"Oh...? Still fucking rude." You grumble under your breath, taking another sip of your coffee as Bonney drags her hands down her face, a disgruntled groan rumbling in her throat.

"That would be the cherry on top of the day, watching my best friend get her head blown off."

"Hm? That bad, are they?"

"Of course they are, they're the mafia! But...at least he gave me money to buy another coffee with." 

"You're welcome."

"Shut up! It was still reckless!!"
