He used to have a bridge piercing, now closed up and only noticeable because he likes - genuinely loves - when you manhandle his face. Like he’s a giant Rottweiler in desensitization training. Drool catching in the webbed skin between your fingers. Nipping at the tips of your new gel manicure. (He asks if you’d paint his initials on your nails. You say no. He's not bothered. More… pleased. Like he was testing to see if he could push your boundaries, and is happy that he can't.)
He explains his past of being a punk youth, how a counselor got him to quit drugs and enlist. It's mildly infuriating.
"One fucked habit for another." Your muttering isn't lost; he's too present, the alley too narrow for that. He shrugs, like it’s no big deal that he’s still kicking, all ten fingers and toes, seemingly well-adjusted - or at the very least, self-aware.
You thumb the space between his eyes. Feel the thickness of healed skin. "I think you should put it back in."
"Get it re-pierced?" He nudges into your hand, encouraging you after you stop.
"Yeah, why not?"
"Coz I’m fucking forty with a wife."
"Your wife is single," you remind him, like it’s a direct correction.
"Mm." A palm skates across your belly. "Is she pregnant too?"
Your hand stills. Heart stops. Mouth opening - "How - who told you that?"
He mirrors you. Shocked, in his own way. "You’re-?"
You shove him hard. "Fuck no, you fuck! God, you scared the hell out of me."
He settles back in far too easily, in your opinion. Purring, essentially.
"Soon."
"No chance."
"Never, then." His acceptance with your choice. It eases you. No more defense.
"… Maybe not that, either."
His head tilts, chin up. "Yeah?"
You shrug instead of answering. You think you'd do anything for him.

I had a lot of fun with the ink splatters on Moon.

Simon Riley being a menace, but subtly…
Simon Riley hiding your keys as an excuse for you to ask him for help. he does it sparingly, every other month or so - he just likes seeing you light up and sigh when he ‘finds them’… he had them in his back pocket for twenty minutes.
Simon Riley purposely putting your favorite snacks somewhere you can’t reach after grocery shopping. it was an honest mistake! he was totally just on autopilot and wasn’t even thinking about it… he’ll get them for you if you say ‘please’.
Simon Riley noticing your phone, forgotten and discarded on a table. he picks it up, doesn’t return it immediately. your phones missing, but Simon’s there to hand it back to you. when you’re going through your camera gallery later that week you notice a wall of photos… Simon, his masked face from different angles, a couple fishbowl lens shots, and then buried in the middle is one of his balaclava tugged up slightly - cracking a small, toothy smile at your camera.
Ghost being a menace, but it’s in your face…
Ghost, who’s walking in front of you, stops suddenly so you smack into his back. dressed in full uniform and bulky, looks over his shoulder and scoffs… “watch where you’re walking.”, pretending this isn’t the fourth time he’s done it today.
Ghost who has his patience running thin when you ignore him. he’s been polite about it, maybe a bit short. you’ve decided to play dumb, get back at him for messing with you, “Didn’t quite catch that, Ghost.”, and he smiles under his balaclava… “That’s alright, we’ll play a little Simon Says then, yeah?”, a low, rumbly chuckle resonating in his chest, “Simon says look at me, lovie.”.
Crocodile to Robin: Really? The goofy looking cyborg? *sideye*
Robin to Crocodile: Really? The goofy looking clown? *smirk* Didn't think you could get lower than Doflamingo.
Crocodile: His devil fruit can have some interesting applications. I will not elaborate.
Robin: I see....you have always been a pillow princess at heart.
Meanwhile Franky and Buggy are blowing up shit in the background, psyching each other up and saying dumb vaguely inspirational shit to each other, completely unaware of the dick measuring contest five paces to the left of them
This is just the way my divorced parents talk to each other so I can definitely see this happening
I don’t WANT a career. I want to cuddle and sleep and eat and read and create and love and be loved.

Like imagine crying on the couch and you hear his thunderous, big body SUV built ass footsteps approach you.
"Baby, what's wrong," he says tenderly as he rubs your shoulder.
You look up to explain how bad your day was with tears in your eyes and you fucking see this:
I made a small drabble based on this
Simon 'Ghost' Riley who's just, so fucking happy to hear you complain.
like the tap is dripping? yes ma'am he'll fix that straight away, because a tap that drips long enough to annoy you means he's got a home.
the grocery store has changed the layout? that means you've been there long enough to notice.
there's construction for an ugly building down the street? you're clearly planning to stay.
he left the toilet seat up? he'll kiss your face all over until you giggle, promising he won't do it again, he might, just to hear you complain about it.
he's just so giddy when you complain about mundane things, he's so happy you don't have to worry about blood and war and death, you get to live in peace. even if that peace is disrupted by a stupid toilet seat.
