squinting and groaning, he’s been woken up by a fluffy cat tail to the face— in his mouth to be more specific. lucifer, his cat, has decided it’s time for him to wake up.

blinking a couple times to make sure he wasn’t dreaming, even the tips of his ears were stained pink.

“i’m not cute . . handsome, stoic and mysterious maybe . . but definitely not cute.” mumbling as he struggled to make eye contact with her, just staring at the black cat in her arms.

She does not miss the color in Robin’s cheeks, nor the shyness, turning away from her gaze. Sweet.

“She is totally adorable.” Nami kisses the cat’s head softly.

“And you did hear me right. You’re cute too. Don’t forget that.” A playful grin plastered her face.

ᴅᴇᴠɪʟɪsʜ ᴀʀᴄʜᴇᴏʟᴏɢɪsᴛ. @vetitusveritas.bsky.social · Mar 22

“yeah, she’s adora— h u h ?!” doing a double take, just staring at the navigator and p r o c e s s i n g her words in real time.

cheeks flushed as he just looks away awkwardly and rather shyly.

Nami scoops up the kitten in her arms, cuddling the black cat against her chest.

“She is so cute, just like her parent.” The redhead pets the kitty, who purrs contentedly in return.

besides, any good archeologist knows basic human anatomy . . enough to embalm and mummify a cadaver.

( a cheeky grin resembling hers start to form across his face. )

ᴅᴇᴠɪʟɪsʜ ᴀʀᴄʜᴇᴏʟᴏɢɪsᴛ. @vetitusveritas.bsky.social · Mar 9

uhh . . i wouldn’t say i knew where it was exactly kinda just made a hole in an estimated place and fished around for it with my hand.

( laughing just a little at the gruesome memory now that he was thinking a little more clearly about it. )

( robin wasn’t necessarily making an effort to flirt with the surgeon of death, it was just kinda happening and it felt right. )

( he felt at ease with her, enough to joke around and just be himself. she was gorgeous and rough around the edges, there was no denying that she was his type. )

i used to work for an organization ran by crocodile, it was to get some information out of someone for him.

( a little shrug. he couldn’t remember because he simply couldn’t care any less about it or the former warlords failed agenda. )

your little spiel about taking out my spleen and feeding it to my cat was rather cute.

i’ve carved out a man’s pancreas during interrogation once. your empty threats don’t scare me.

( his mischievous grin falters to a genuine smile now. )

i agree, we would make a great team.

well, i think you’re gorgeous but i suppose my opinion doesn’t matter to you now does it . . miss allergic-to-animals-cruella de ville.

( turning onto his side and propping himself up with an elbow. head resting comfortably in his palm as he looks at her with a look of adoration. )

yeah . . you’re still not scary.

it's alright. . lucifer gets a pass

( a soft smile on her lips, eyes still closed. she heard him lay down beside her. after a few seconds, she opens her eyes and turns to look at him )

are you always this well mannered or am i just scary--

ᴅᴇᴠɪʟɪsʜ ᴀʀᴄʜᴇᴏʟᴏɢɪsᴛ. @vetitusveritas.bsky.social · Mar 8

( leaning back on his palms now that she seems to be feeling a little better. )

oh . . i see. i suppose lucifer is just long overdue for a bath and i got reminded in the worst possible way . . i apologize.

it’s been a while since she’s bathed, her fur is probably packed with dust . . i apologize.

they were really cute, and rather large for alligators but they were sweet creatures despite everything.

alligators. they all had little banana-shaped growths on their heads so we called them the bananawanis but i don’t suppose they would count as my own pets.

( he wasn’t particularly thinking much about what he said, a bit distracted by the yawn and stretch lucifer had done. )

it’s alright, i don’t mind talking about it. i never stayed in one place for too long, so i never had any pets of my own.

i did take care of and look after crocodile’s
