Tender Love and Care - Massage 2/3 (Buggy x Reader)
Art by Capitanpoops!
A/N: May this be yet another testament to my addiction to both the clown and pining 🙏🏻 It's definitely time for the titular massage, don't you think? Buggy could really use it. Also a perfect way to be helpful and feel him up at the same time fdsfkdjflks Don't worry - he's looking at it as an excuse to be felt up so it's a perfect match. Theres a bit of a headcanon about the effects of extended use of his fruit in this one.
If you catch the meme reference hidden in this installment I love you lol
Word count: ~6.6k
Warnings: afab!reader (no pronouns), suggestive themes but nothing nsfw, humor, weapons grade pining, idiots in love, a little more of Buggy being a prickly bitch, also more of him being touch-starved and desperate for affection, this time the reader has some time in a fantasy world too, you maybe probably also give him a slap on the ass (he deserved it)

EHEHEHEHEHEHEHEHEHEHEHEHEE
I am NOT normal about this series like
I'm SCREAMINGGGGG
Okay okay okay
First off I love that reader stole Zoro's clothes that's too funny but then THE WAY YOU DESCRIBE BUGGY AHHHHHHH
His shoulders are just---YUM and his eyes EXTRA YUM
“Wouldn’t you like to know, circus boy,” you scoffed. Having made quick work of your feet, you were now on to massaging the creamy lotion into the meat of your calf.
“That’s not one of the things you’re allowed to call me,” he said, lip curling. “Closest you can get is ‘ringmaster’.” He paused then added as an afterthought, “You could always just keep it to ‘master’ too.”
Of course, this whole little section is too funny and so good cause you can tell Buggy gets actually a little annoyed BUT he's quick with the "heh heh call me master" which is too funny
"You had decided that he yearned for touch but not your touch."
NOOOOOOOOO baby NOOOOO he wants you to touch him, feelings are just hardddddddd
And girly I love how you described every one of the Straw Hats with different type of physical touch like its peak and so correct. I loved comparing Nami to a cat cause yes omg yes
Also I just LOVE how you add in Buggy's powers more! Like when he was in a rush to say yes to reader putting lotion on him and his body popped apart as he spun around. I don't see that offend and I really like it a lot cause it really is something we see buggy do in the anime and so yes that's him such a good detail you added!!
I've told you before and I'll tell you again now I EAT UP the part where reader says his name wrong just to keep teasing/flirting with him but Buggy can only take so much and kinda flips out cause he feels like maybe reader is now making fun of him. I really enjoy that part cause I feel like it's so Buggy! He's not very secure in himself like he plays it up but we all know he isn't and things like that, especially in a situation where neither of them knows what is going on between the two of them, it can pop up and burst out more often so I really enjoyed that!! And then the whole section after that where they both are like damn I messed up and Buggy smoothing down readers shirt like good stuff good stuff
“Well I am a natural bluenette,”
PFFFFTTTTTTTTT GIRL IM CACKLING
I also love how touch-starved you made Buggy cause omg he isss and I like how he's fighting to make sure reader stays touching him like when reader goes to sit in him and he's just so flustered but like--wait stay I need you to stay like AHHHHHH love
I NEED THIS MAN NEEDY AND MOANY AND JUST FALLING APART AND MA'AM YOU DID JUST THAT AND I AM SCREAMING AND GIGGLING AND EHEHEHEHEEHEHEHE
“Splitting up can make me sore and fuck with my nerves. Leaves my muscles feeling-” he paused to grunt with relief when you broke up a knot that had tucked itself next to his shoulder blade “-heavy. Puts pin pricks on my skin like it's numb too if I’m broken up a long time.”
Ummmm--yes!! This is such an interesting take on the whole splitting up cause yeah--does it make him uncomfortable?? Can it hurt?? Does sit make his body feel numb??? Like this is a wonderful take bravo 👏👏
I am DYING over the fact he fell asleep so funny but like so real like I would be fighting off sleep if I got a message like that omg and Buggy being like--noooo about hour fifteen plzzz yesss same same very relatable very buggy very nice
YESSSSSS SMACK THAT CLOWNS ASSS HE LIKES IT YESSSS
EHEHHEHEHEGHAHJDGJHWGEHEEEHHAG PLEASE SPOON THE CLOWN HE WANTS TO BE LITTLE SPOON SO BAD OMG PLZZZZZZZZZZZZZ
