Shanks x Mihawk (Akataka)

Shanks propped himself up with his one arm. He watched Mihawk sleep beside him sleeping softly. His mouth slacked open, some of his hair in his face, little stubble on his cheeks and chin. Shanks and Mihawk have been married for eight months. All due to an accidental drunk wedding from there birthday. And neither of them had hit twenty five yet. They loved each other to death. For instance, when Shanks had to go to the hospital because of an accident at work. Mihawk couldn't sleep for days, everything was too quite. Too. Dark. Mihawk would wonder how he lived without his oddball for a husband. That's when he told Shanks he loved him for the first time. Shanks broke out in tears, but. That's not the point.

He snapped open his golden eyes, Shanks grinned. Mihawk turned to the red haired man and sighed. He pulled the red haired man closer to him so he could stop staring at him. Shanks nuzzled into his neck kissing his cheeks softly. Mihawk hummed softly shutting his eyes for maybe a little bit more sleep. But with Shanks that wouldn't happen.

"Merry Christmas." Shanks said.

"It's Christmas?" Mihawk asked.

"Yeah, I invited our friends over for our Christmas party."

"When did I agree to that?"

"Well I figured it's our first Christmas together. I thought maybe we could tell everyone were married. All out friends and family and stuff."

Shanks and Mihawk decided to hold off telling them of being married from everyone. They came to an agreement not to tell anyone for a little while. Shanks didn't want to get scolded for doing something so stupid as getting married when they were drunk. It not like they didn't not Ike it. They enjoyed each other's company and felt happier with each other in there lives.

Mihawk sighed, "Fine, but next year were having a quiet Christmas."

Shanks grinned before kissing Mihawk all over the face. Once they got up to get ready for the day. Shanks went to the tree putting a small box under the tree. Then he started decorating the house. When Mihawk got out of the shower and went downstairs to get breakfast. Christmas music and the smell of peppermint flooded there house.

"Happy wife, happy life." Mihawk muttered to himself.

He admired the deportations though, they were. A nice touch. Mihawk headed to the kitchen when a sweater was tossed to him. He glanced to the red sweater with two polar bears humping each other. Along the top was written 'Merry Christmas Bitches.' Mihawk glanced up to Shanks cocking a brow.

"Why does my sweater have to bears getting intimate?" Mihawk asked.

"It's funny huh? I thought you would like it." Shanks laughed.

Mihawk muttered again pulling on the sweater. Shanks was wearing a green sweater with a drunk Santa on it. He shook his head slightly before helping out for the party. As everything was set up and dished out. The guests arrived. Many of Shanks friends were ready to party and hang out. Mihawk was introduced to allot of his friends and then dragged off to another group of his friends. But he escaped later on to his den to collect himself. He sighed resting against the doors. Mihawk pushed himself off the doors and went up to his desk. He sat at his desk and reached under it, pressing a latch and out popped a drawer. Mihawk opened the drawer and pulled out his secret wine stash. He pulled it out and the wine glass and poured himself a glass before putting the bottle back and shutting the drawer. He sighed relaxing in his office.

The door bell went off once more, Shanks grinned pardoning himself from his friends. He went to the door opening it finding Roger, pregnant Rouge, Rayleigh and a few others.

"Roger, come in." He grinned.

They headed inside Shanks and Roger chatted for a minute before Mihawk popped into his head.

"There's someone I want you to meet." He said, "Wait here a minute."

Roger laughed as Shanks disappeared, he went to the last place he saw Mihawk, not finding him. He asked around but everyone shrugged, Shanks then started checking rooms until he noticed the den's doors were shut. He opened the doors to Mihawk resting back against his chair, feet propped up on the desk and he was asleep. Shanks shut the doors and headed over to Mihawk. Shanks cupped his cheek before kissing him softly. Mihawk slowly awoke lazily kissing back. Shanks pulled back with a smile on his face.

"What are you doing all by yourself?" Shanks asked.

Mihawk cracked open an eye, "I don't do, parties."

"I just, want to tell everyone everything. I don't want to keep us a secret anymore. I love you, and I'm gonna tell them how much I love you. And all the times we've done it."

"Okay maybe not that far."

Shanks chuckled, "So, will you come out?"

He held out his hand to Mihawk, who sighed kicking his feet off the table and took his hand. Shanks gave his signature grin and laced his fingers with Mihawk. He took Mihawk out of the den and they headed to the party. They found Roger helping Rouge into a seat. Since. She was pregnant.

"Roger, Rouge, I'd like you to meet someone." Shanks said.

They smiled as Shanks introduced Mihawk. Welcoming him with open arms and breath taking hugs. No literally. Roger embraced the man so hard he couldn't breathe.  He let go of Mihawk who gasped for air. But everyone's attention was drawn to Shanks. He stood at the top of the tall staircase. He held a glass and tapped it with his fork. It didn't matter he already had there attention.

"I'd like to tell you the real reason why I had brought you here today." Shanks started, "on my twenty first birthday, I met Mihawk. We had a small conversation before I found out it was his birthday too. So I bought him the birthday special. Which. We ended up blacking out and. Found out we were married the following morning. We decided to keep it a secret from everyone because we didn't know how you would react."

The room was quite before there was laughter and cheers. Shanks headed down to the party, while Mihawk was put in a head lock.

"So you married Shanks huh?" Roger chuckled.

Mihawk clawed at his arm while Rouge was giggling next to him. Shanks had to help pry his family friend off his husband. Roger congratulated him with a pat on the back and a laugh. But. All good things came to an end. Once the party was over. Shanks and Mihawk were left picking up the trash. But he perked up to a silver box with a sliver ribbon under the tree. He picked it up and sat on his heels.

"Shanks, what's this?" Mihawk asked.

He turned to Mihawk and jumped the couch sitting next to him.

"I bought them for us." Shanks said.

Mihawk opened the lid and saw two silver rings sitting in the box. Shanks picked one up and smiled.

"I figured the plastic ones were going to break soon so. I thought maybe you would like to make it official." Shanks grinned.

But his smile faded when Mihawk was just staring down into the box. He reached in picking up the ring and looking at it in his hand.

"This is the most thoughtful gift someone has ever given to me." Mihawk muttered.

Shanks smiled again, "May I?"

He took Mihawk's hand taking off the plastic ring and putting on the silver one. Mihawk did the same as they shared a quick kiss before pulling back.

"You have ten seconds to get your ass up those stairs or I'll change my mind." Mihawk smirked.

Shanks grinned back, "Awe give me more time, I only got one arm."

"Seven seconds."
