[A bonfire . . . singing . . . why, if that wasn't the perfect scenario for a date.]

You know, that reminds me of the date that I'd like to have with a friend of mine.

[Kodachi smiled at Luffy, quirking her head to one side coquettishly.]

It would be nice to dance around a bonfire by the beach. The sand in one's toes, and the moon and stars aglow . . . Ah, bliss!
allendsmeat: (peer)

[startles as he recognizes the voice and ]

Kodacchan?! [Peer peer. She looked a lot different than he expected and not like a fence at all! ...and she was talking about a date. With bonfires and sand and stuff. Which was exciting! But at the same time--

Wow it's weird his legs are all wiggly

He swallows.]


Um... We don't have to taste each other right?

[and he might be peering at you from behind a chair at this point]
cherrybombpie: (she rings my bell)

[personal profile] cherrybombpie 2014-04-27 08:19 pm (UTC)(link)
[Only one person called her that, and she blinked before realizing precisely who it was that she was talking to. No wonder that voice was so familiar.]

Mr. Luffy!

[She beamed at him, clapping her hands together. How exciting to finally be able to meet a friend!]

I'm so happy to see you! You look nice -

[Pause.]

Why would we taste each other?

[What???]
allendsmeat: (ara)

[personal profile] allendsmeat 2014-04-27 08:24 pm (UTC)(link)
[he moves to sit on the chair backwards, still peering at her cautiously.]

Sanji says that's what people do if they date. [sort of. He may have mixed things around a bit] But I don't want to cuz it's kind of weird.

[curls his toes a little. Yes he still is wearing sandals, why do you ask?]

But I'm glad to see Kodacchan, too!

[even if it is a little scary. Sort of like Nami is scary but in a different way]
cherrybombpie: (gym class in heaven)

[personal profile] cherrybombpie 2014-04-27 08:27 pm (UTC)(link)
[Kodachi thought about it before recalling that Sanji-san was that chef who wanted to cook things for her day and night.]

Perhaps it's because he's a cook and he feels that people should exercise their sense of taste on each other. [Which is just strange, okay.] You probably shouldn't listen to him; he seems a bit strange. [Yes, that was the pot calling the kettle black.]

[She sank into a deep curtsy, peering up at him from beneath thick lashes.]


The pleasure is all mine, Mr. Luffy.
allendsmeat: (om nom?)

[personal profile] allendsmeat 2014-04-27 08:37 pm (UTC)(link)
Oh yeah!

[fist palm! That makes a lot of sense! No wonder he liked licking Zoro so much. And Zoro used the sword in his mouth sometimes, too, so it all worked out. Mystery solved. He laughs a little though]

Sanji's really weird. But he's really smart, too.

[Another song starts up and Luffy dumps the rest of the tiny chicken legs into his mouth before dusting off his hands]

Fuffa fanfe?
cherrybombpie: (baby with me)

[personal profile] cherrybombpie 2014-04-27 08:42 pm (UTC)(link)
[Ah, the company that you kept, Luffy. Not that Kodachi was any saner than the rest of his motley crew.]

[Somehow she understood his question and nodded once, positively glowing with glee.]


I would love to.

[She held out her hand for him to take, her lips quirking in a smile.]

Shall we?
allendsmeat: credit: merrygoburn (yup)

[personal profile] allendsmeat 2014-04-27 08:51 pm (UTC)(link)
Mm!

[he swallows and takes her hand. It takes him a little bit to get situated. He practiced a lot with Marco and got far enough to stop stepping on his feet which is good for Kodachi, though once he has an arm around her waist he'll pull her a little hard and fairly energetically into the dance]

This is the fun part. [nod] But I wish the music was faster.
cherrybombpie: (listen to iron maiden)

[personal profile] cherrybombpie 2014-04-27 09:06 pm (UTC)(link)
[Almost immediately, the orchestra strikes up a fast and furious paso doble. Kodachi broke into a smile.]

As you wish, Mr. Luffy. ♥

[She pulled away and struck the first pose, her hands held above her head and hips cocked.]

[Without another word, she spun into a leap, darting toward him to fall into his arms. Hopefully he'd catch her . . .]
allendsmeat: (HEAD TILT)

[personal profile] allendsmeat 2014-04-27 09:12 pm (UTC)(link)
[he doesn't as he has no idea what she's doing. Marco didn't teach him about this kind of dancing.]
cherrybombpie: (Default)

[personal profile] cherrybombpie 2014-04-27 09:15 pm (UTC)(link)
[Okay, so he didn't.]

[Kodachi would've crashed in an ungainly heap on the floor if she didn't expect it, but it was good he was just standing there; she pressed against him and bounced (well, okay, not bounced) off him and onto the floor, landing in a perfect split. 10/10.]
allendsmeat: (you are weird)

[personal profile] allendsmeat 2014-04-27 09:17 pm (UTC)(link)
Was I supposed to do that, too?

[well okay. He'll have to wait til she stands up to bounce off her though]
cherrybombpie: (baby with me)

[personal profile] cherrybombpie 2014-04-28 03:17 pm (UTC)(link)
No, you were supposed to catch me.

[Kodachi sighed, tutting slightly. It looked like it was up to her to teach him the proper steps and passion of the paso doble.]

[From her split, she drew her legs together and stood up effortlessly.]


This is the dance in which I pretend to be the ferocious beast and you pretend to be the man inciting my fury.
allendsmeat: (cute laugh)

[personal profile] allendsmeat 2014-04-28 05:29 pm (UTC)(link)
[he laughs]

If you were a ferocious beast I'd punch you in the head! [Why would you catch one when you could hit it?] Your dancing is pretty weird, Kodacchan!
cherrybombpie: (Default)

[personal profile] cherrybombpie 2014-05-09 12:17 pm (UTC)(link)
[Kodachi thought about this. And then . . .]

I have an idea. ♥

[She spun around, then tapped his shoulder with her fingertips.]

Let's create our own dance. I'll try to touch you, and you'll try to dodge.

Shall we?
allendsmeat: (cute laugh)

[personal profile] allendsmeat 2014-05-12 07:48 pm (UTC)(link)
Yeah sure! [it sounded fun and would be good practice for haki. He grins] You're kinda awesome, Kodacchan.
cherrybombpie: (Default)

[personal profile] cherrybombpie 2014-05-13 02:00 pm (UTC)(link)
Why, thank you, Mr. Luffy. I think of you with the same regard.

[This was the closest she'd ever tell someone that they're "awesome", because this was Kodachi and everything she said had to be formal and theatrical.]

[Using the same speed she possessed that made her almost invisible to the naked eye, she darted toward him to tap him on his nose.]
