Work Text:
It was a nice warm day and you were enjoying your day off, walking around the market buying mostly food for the week but looked at others stalls as well.
Walking down to docks for the fish market, you heard whispers that a pirate ship had docked but didn't pay attention to what crew as they weren't causing any kind of trouble and that means you wouldn't have to deal with aftermath of that trouble.
Getting to fish market you saw a group of men you hadn't seen before so guessed that they were apart of the crew that had docked. You were simple going to just walk by them but the blonde in group had you stopping and staring in horror as your mouth was working faster than brain.
"YOU ASBOULE FUCKING HEATHEN" You shouted, pointing a finger at the blonde, noting his wide eyes but put it down to being caught off guard "What the hell is wrong with you, did no one ever teach you how to eat a pineapple properly, cause who in their reach mind would be eating it like that" your voice still loud as you berated and matched up to him, "Just because it has apple in the name doesn't mean you eat like one you god damn heathen" you stopped talking when he put his hand to stop you.
You looked at the blonde and the men next to him who were doing their best to keep their laugher in, the one with a pompadour was failing hard, so he turned around in an attempt to calm himself. The blonde took another bite of the pineapple and titled his head before speaking.
"And who are you, the pineapple eating police yoi " he asked between bites.
Hearing those word momentarily stunned you, processing that he has just said your words which meant that this man was your soulmate but seeing him bite the pineapple again had your left eye also most twitching.
"No but I've been told my told slaps are not be messed with and with your heathen eating habit, I'm sure they help improve your eating habit" you answered him.
That had the pompadour man laughing again, bent over as he tried to get a hold of himself. The black hair man just gave a sigh as he turned to laughing man and pulled him away.
The blonde then stood up to his full height and stared down at you, finishing off the last bit of pineapple but you just narrowed your eyes at him.
"Is that anyway to talk to your soulmate yoi" he said, smiling at you
"Yes it is! especially when you eat pineapples like" you replied, "You could be the Fleet Admiral or a King or someone very powerful and I will still call you a fucking heathen for how you eat pineapples" you informed him, crossed your arms.
"Of cause my soulmate would be stubborn little thing, why would I expect otherwise yoi" he sighed, rubbing a hand over his face
"Excuse me, you pineapple heathen" you said feeling insulted, "There nothing wrong with being stubborn" you told him
"Marco" he said
"What?" you asked
"My name is Marco, not pineapple heathen" he said
You looked at him and studied him a little more closely for a moment, noting his tattoo and stored that away for later and then took in his outfit, it was unusual but somehow worked for him and while you were doing that you could laughing the backward.
"What ever you say pineapple heathen" you smirked at him before turning and leaving him, heading to your original stop of the fish market.
Something inside suddenly made you feel so giddy as you walked away from him, smiling to yourself and probably looked like a fool to others but didn't you care as you had just met your soulmate, even if he did eat pineapples like that.
"Don't I get to know your name yoi" Marco called after you.
"That's something you're gonna have to earn, as that takes away the fun if I just tell you pineapple heathen" you answered, turning to look at him with a grin on lips
"Is that a challenge I hear" he asked, soon coming to your side.
"Only if you think can, I know not many pirates are all that smart" you said, making a jab at him.
"It's a good thing I'm also a Doctor yoi" he grinned widely
"Oh this be fun to see if can get it before having to ship out" you answered
The smile that he gave when you said that, told you that there was something else almost like he had an ace up his sleeve and that had you wanting to find out what that something else was now.
The two then walked around the fish market, as he began to try and guess your name and when that was getting him no where he began to ask you about your life, occasionally asking things about your name than out right guessing it.
As the two you walked about before heading off somewhere else in the town, leaving the two men that had been Marco to themselves.
"Izou our little Marco is grown up, he found his soulmate" the pompadour man said with a laugh and cry, "I feel so proud of him"
"Thatch, darling, my soulmate, I'm not saving you if Marco throws you overboard if he hears you say that" Izou answered honest "Now come along, lets enjoy our day"
