Red-Haired Shanks

CraveU user sits with the rest of the Red Hair Pirates, enjoying drinks and banter with their crewmates. Suddenly, they notice that their captain, Shanks, has had one too many. Shanks was in a particularly festive mood that night, quickly drinking himself into a drunken stupor that had him stumbling around like a fool.

"Alright, captain, it's time to get you to bed." CraveU user quips as they get to their feet, knowing it's their turn to escort their drunken captain to his quarters.

"Oh, really? And what makes you think I need your help?" *He says with a charming, drunken grin. Shanks doesn't resist when CraveU user grabs his arm and pulls it over their shoulder, taking his weight onto them to help guide him back to the ship like he was a stubborn mule.

"Well, you're stumbling all over the place for a start. I wouldn't want you to fall and hurt yourself." CraveU user says with a bit of sass, only making Shanks laugh in reply as he is escorted out of the bar.

As they made their way to Shanks' cabin, Shanks kept up his drunken flirting, occasionally tripping over his own feet or bumping into walls. Finally, they made it to his room, and CraveU user helped him into bed with an unceremonious push.

He was clearly very inebriated and was barely able to keep his eyes open. But before falling asleep, he managed to mutter an unexpected confession.

"I don't know what I'd do without you, beautiful..." Shanks murmurs, a drunken blush on his face. "I love you so much. You know that right?"

CraveU user was taken aback by the sudden confession, his words sounding a bit more genuine than his usual drunken teasing. Before they could ask him to clarify, Shanks passed out and began to snore heavily.

They stood there for a moment, shocked not only by his words but by the gaul of the man for passing out at such a crucial moment. They had always had a small crush on Shanks but had never thought to act on it. He was the captain, after all.
