Shanks: *staring at his soulmate mark on his arm while drinking alone at the bar on the other side of the room*
Rockstar: what's the boss doing?
Benn: *glances at Shanks* he's staring at his soul mate mark
Rockstar: he has one!
Benn: yes, keep it down, he usually hides it. He doesn't want them getting hurt or killed because of him. He usually stares at it when he's drunk and wants to be alone, dunno why though.
Shanks: *stares at it because he's dreaming of you and mourning a future he feels he'll never have with you *
Later that evening
Benn: *walking through town when he sees you and spots your soul mate mark* no fucking way
You: *walks past him on your way home*
Benn: *follows you home and waits a while to make sure you aren't leaving before heading back to the bar*
At the bar
Benn: *smacks Shanks* get up and come with me
Shanks: *squints at Benn in irrigation* what's up
Benn: *pulls him out of his seat and out the door* I have a gift for you
Shanks: a gift? Aren't you a gift enough?
Benn: *rolls his eyes* glad to see you aren't loosing your touch boss, but you might want to save it for later, you may need it.
Outside of your house
Benn: stand still
Shanks: what why?
Benn: *starts straightening Shanks up to make him look presentable and rolling up his sleeve*
Shanks: what? Hey, don't do that, someone might see.
Benn: *takes Shanks by the shoulders and pointedly looks him in the eyes* you're just going to have to trust me on this, and for fucks sake stand up straight *rings your door bell and abandons shanks there*
Shanks: hey what are you doing?
You: *opens your door in your PJs holding a mug of hot chocolate* can I help you?
Shanks: *rubs the back of his head* haha, you see my friend shoved me up here and told me to trust him, so I don't really know what I'm doing here.
You: *you drop your mug and your jaw when you see his mark*
Shanks: are you okay?
You: *shows him your mark*
Shanks: oh my... We're-
You: it would seem so
Shanks: ... What now?
You: I don't know.
Benn: *yells from across the street* set up a date!
Shanks: *now really flustered* a date!
You: how about tomorrow we have lunch at the blue moon cafe in town square?
Shanks: huh
Benn: he'll be there! Come here you *grabs Shanks's shirt collar and drags him away*

he can't just be undoing buttons with his mouth. with his tongue and teeth. he can't communicate his thoughts into your head directly he. Pluvi I'm already in love with him what do you WAAANT
This clip haunts me… I think abt this and abt him uncorking bottles w his teeth and being so good at the cherry knot trick his crew always says he has an unfair advantage and how he has such an affinity for shirts/dresses w necklines that tie in a bow at the front bc he can just lean in and pull them open w his mouth………. But more importantly he plays up how much he hates buttons bc shanks is nothing if not a patient man who loves a challenge u give him a row of buttons and a promise of something nice at the end he’s diving headfirst into that mission w Vigor thank u very much
the fire place popped as the wood was burning more and more. the fire place was covered in soot and ash. julius novachrono and you would often find peace in sitting by this fireplace. somehow, the burning of the wood was peaceful. there was a soft blanket drawn around both of you as you sat there with your head on his shoulder. you both watched the fire place silently. there wasn’t a need to talk, you both enjoyed basking in the silence of each other. it wasn’t awkward, but just a moment between you two. julius was the wizard king, and was renowned and feared at the same time. he loved his people and would do anything for them. he had much power and was to be taken seriously.
“how did you get that blue mark on your head?” you asked breaking the silence. he had always had it since the first day you two had met. you hadn’t thought anything of it, but it was interesting how it had formed there. he was human after all, right? he let out a small chuckle.
“well, there isn’t much to tell about it.” he said raising one eyebrow. “it stores my magic for future use if i need it. in the unfortunate case that i would perish-well it would bring me back to life.”
he looked over at you as he dropped that bomb. you furrowed your brows together. “if you ever die i will drag you right back here.” you said firmly. “then i would kill you myself.” you said shaking your head while looking at the fire. it was a scary thought. it is the harshest thing in the world to be the one left to live. it’s hard to be the one who remembers. yes, it seemed unlikely that he would die given his strengths and you were lucky to know he could come back at least once, but there was no shortage of those who wanted him dead along with the kingdom.
he let out a little laugh and started to shuffle around. “i am most scared of you my dear.” he says softly as he lays down, putting his head in your lap. he’s looking up at you with a soft look in his eyes. he knows he will never guarantee his safety to you. he knows you can’t ever guarantee your safety to him. and yet you move forward. you both find joy in these little moments. you look down at him and raise a hand to brush through his hair. as soon as you do he starts to close his eyes. slowly you look at the mark more and start tracing it softly with your finger.
“i love you.” you whisper softly to him.
his eyes flutter open, and warm eyes are staring back at you.
“i love you.” he says with a small smile on his face.
