SAPS STAY HAPPY. Being hard only gets you survival and at some point that's just not enough. RIGHT? You gotta be happy, or no amount of weapons or power are gonna do it for you. Or whatever you like. Even makeup can't keep the bed warm.
I WANNA KNOW WHO YOUR BOYTOY IS TOO NOW. Damn, you better get married so I stop trying to guess at people.
HE'S JUST REALLY SHAMELESS ABOUT THINGS. And not in a begging kinky, step on me Buggy kind of way. I don't know how to deal with that! Well, if you really wanna know, and he wants to know. You'll probably recognize him from the picture. He's... KINDA A BIG DEAL. SO AT LEAST OUR STATUS TOGETHER IS FLASHY! [Have a picture of Shanks in bed, sheets pulled up to his waist, grinning.]
HAHA YOU REALLY ARE IN LOVE. That's so cute, you can admit it so freely. It's flashy in it's own way, so that's okay too. Fuck him good, love him good, and both of you will be happy. Shit, you gotta hear this, this asshole says it's a better treasure than anything the oceans can offer. I hit him with a pillow for that. [And got kissed senseless afterwards, so there's a little pause between texts.]
Yeah, yeah, it's okay. Sometimes you gotta put that special person first. I GET IT! I DO. [Buggy lives by the go FLASHY or go TO HELL lifestyle motto. If it doesn't spark flash, he's not in for it. And that over the top life applies to almost every part of his life. Including who's worthy of getting in his pants.]
So yeah, that's the asshole I keep talking about. HE KEEPS READING MY TEXTS HE'S SUPPOSED TO BE GETTING OUT OF BED AND DOING SOMETHING. But hey, it's a lazy day.
Well he's right. My guy is my treasure. Maybe we haven't been together very long, but I don't think there's anything that can separate us.
And yeah I know how that sounds but we've been through shit before we were dating so it's not like I'm crazy for some guy I don't know well, okay!!
You know, I shouldn't even be surprised. You're Buggy, of course you go for one of the biggest, most intimidating names in the world, but it's not even because of that but because you guys are friends. That's terrifying and really cute.
IT STILL SOUNDS CHEESY AND DUMB! LIKE SOMETHING A GIRL IN A ROMANCE NOVEL WOULD SAY! TREASURES! LOVE. ALL THAT BULLSHIT. Ugh it's so dumb and flashy and romantic and we're both so fucked. I don't think your boy, or I'm escaping now.
Yeah. Don't let him go. Go for it, if you feel like it. If you love him and know him, it's better to solidify the bond. OR SOMETHING LIKE THAT. UGH I HATE THIS KIND OF MUSHY STUFF. [He loves it so much but it's all embarrassing. And he's about to text again, but then he's cracking up over the whole DON'T TELL HIM I SAID THAT shit shit shit thing. Because Shanks is a shameless fucker who's got his arms around Buggy and he's been reading texts as they come.
He's a nosy troll and Buggy loves him.] Rosi I just told you he keeps reading my texts.
What?! [He doesn't get a reply for a couple minutes. But when Rosinante responds he's got any questions answered pretty quickly. He's not surprised that the phone got dropped, at all.]
Yeah, he's still here. He says he's not getting out of bed until he absolutely has to. SO LAZY. NOT FLASHY AT ALL!
[Never mind that the guy is basically one of his former employers' worst enemies and there's still a little of that lurking in his mind also. EVEN WITHOUT THAT??? INTIMIDATING???]

Ha! Yeah. You got it. More than just me though, it's how happy he is. I see that smile of his and it's like I lose all self-control.
I won't keep it from you forever. Promise. He's got a reputation to uphold and would be very private even without that anyway. But some day.
[Meanwhile here he thought he was with a guy who's kind of a big deal but there's Law and then there's GODDAMNED SHANKS OF ALL PEOPLE???]
Holy shit.
Okay, I get where all the history comes from but... Damn! Of course I recognize him!
