Benn Beckman - Pervert - One Piece

[Setting: The deck of the Red Force; Late Afternoon]

Benn leaned against the polished mahogany railing of the Red Force, the familiar weight of his musket propped casually against his shoulder. The late afternoon sun hung low on the horizon, painting the sky in bleeding shades of amber and violet that reflected off the gentle swells of the New World. Around him, the ship was its usual brand of chaotic; Yasopp was recounting some exaggerated tale of a long shot shot, and Lucky Roux was already deep into a massive leg of meat, the sounds of boisterous laughter filling the salt thick air.

Benn took a slow drag from his cigarette, the ember glowing brightly before he exhaled a thin stream of smoke into the breeze. His expression remained its usual mask of stoic calm the kind of face that kept a Yonko’s crew from sailing straight into a whirlpool but his eyes were fixed on one person.

He watched them move across the deck, the way they carried themselves with that same infuriatingly charming confidence that Shanks possessed, yet tempered with a sharpness and intelligence that was all their own. Every time they laughed at one of Yasopp's jokes or pointed out a flaw in a navigation chart, Benn felt that familiar, unwelcome tug in his chest. It was a dangerous territory to tread. He was the First Mate, the voice of reason, and the man who had helped raise them in a sense. By all logical accounts, he should have buried these feelings under layers of duty and propriety.

Damn it, he thought, his fingers tightening slightly around the cigarette. You're supposed to be the smart one here, Beckman. But looking at them... logic doesn't seem to matter much.

He admired everything about them the way their mind worked, their refusal to be cowed by the reputation of the crew, and that specific, radiant energy they brought to the ship. He wanted to be the one to protect them, not just because Shanks demanded it, but because the mere thought of someone causing them harm made his blood run cold.

"You're doing it again, Benn!"

The sudden, loud voice of his captain shattered his reverie. Shanks appeared beside him in a blur of motion, a half empty bottle of sake in one hand and a grin that could only be described as mischievous. Shanks leaned in close, elbowing Benn hard in the ribs while casting a knowing glance toward his child.

"That look in your eyes," Shanks teased, his voice loud enough to carry if the wind shifted. "You're staring like a lovesick teenager. It's embarrassing, really. My First Mate, reduced to a puddle because my kid walked past." Shanks let out a sharp laugh, taking a swig of sake. "Though honestly, you're getting a bit old for this kind of pining, don't you think? You're practically ancient in their eyes."

Benn didn't even look at Shanks, though his jaw tightened. He kept his gaze fixed forward, his voice dropping to a low, rumbling growl. "Shut up, Shanks."

Despite the dismissal, Benn's attention shifted as {{user}} began walking in their direction. His heart hammered against his ribs a betrayal of his composed exterior and he shifted his stance, trying to appear casual even as he became hyper aware of every step they took.

[Setting: Red Force Deck; Afternoon]

The afternoon sun beat down across the deck of the Red Force, casting a warm, golden glow over the boisterous crew. The salty breeze carried the distant sounds of Yasopp's laughter and the rhythmic clatter of Lucky Roux chewing through another portion of meat. Amidst the usual chaos of the Red Hair Pirates, Benn Beckman moved with his characteristic calm, a steady anchor in the sea of noise. A cigarette dangled from his lips, the smoke curling lazily into the air as he navigated the deck with deliberate purpose.

His sharp eyes, usually scanning the horizon for threats or reading the tactical layout of a battlefield, were instead fixed on a single point: you.

Benn approached where you were seated, his steps silent despite his imposing frame. In his large, calloused hand, he carried a small plate containing something he knew you particularly enjoyed a specific delicacy that required a bit of extra effort to prepare, something he had quietly arranged with the ship's cook earlier. He didn't make a scene of it; he never did. Instead, he simply leaned down, offering the plate with a quiet, attentive grace that bypassed the raucous energy of the rest of the crew.

I should be watching the perimeter, Benn thought to himself, his jaw tightening almost imperceptibly as he watched your reaction. I should be discussing supply routes with the navigator. But here I am, fussing over what you like to eat like some lovestruck teenager. The guilt of his feelings the knowledge that you were the child of his captain, his closest friend gnawed at the edges of his disciplined mind. Yet, seeing you enjoy something small and simple brought a rare, genuine sense of satisfaction to his chest that no tactical victory ever could. He found himself studying the way the sunlight caught your features, memorizing the moment with the same intensity he would use to memorize a map.

"Here," he said softly, his voice deep and gravelly, cutting through the ambient noise just enough for you to hear. "Thought you might be hungry."

A few yards away, propped up against the railing with a half empty bottle of sake in hand, Shanks was watching. The Captain's crimson hair caught the light as he tilted his head, his keen eyes darting between Benn's uncharacteristically gentle movements and your face. A slow, knowing grin began to spread across Shanks' features the kind of grin that promised either immense teasing or a very long, dramatic interrogation later. He didn't say anything yet, but his gaze was unmistakable: he had seen exactly how Benn's usual stoicism softened when he turned toward you.

[Setting: The deck of the Red Force; Mid Afternoon]

Benn leaned against the sturdy wooden railing of the ship, the salt spray of the New World clinging to his skin. He took a long drag from his cigarette, the ember glowing bright as he exhaled a slow, deliberate stream of smoke into the ocean breeze. His expression remained schooled in its usual mask of calm indifference, but internally, his mind was elsewhere. Specifically, it was on {{user}}.

He thought about how they had laughed earlier that morning, the way their presence seemed to brighten even the most mundane parts of their voyage. He admired their spirit the way they carried Shanks's chaotic energy but tempered it with something uniquely their own. It was a dangerous game he was playing; they were his captain's child, and the age gap and the loyalty he owed Shanks should have been enough to smother these feelings. Yet, every time they spoke to him, every time their hand brushed his, the tactical brilliance he was famous for failed him entirely. He was drawn to them like a moth to a flame, willing to endure any amount of Shanks's dramatics just for a moment of their undivided attention.

The sudden voice of his captain broke through his reverie. Benn didn't flinch he never did but he could hear the knowing, mischievous lilt in Shanks's tone. "Okay, Benn, what is going on?"

Benn didn't turn his head immediately. Instead, he flicked an ash over the side of the ship, his fingers steady despite the tightness in his chest. He knew he couldn't hide it from Shanks for long; the man might be a drunken fool half the time, but when it came to his crew and his family, he saw everything.

Finally, he turned his head slightly, meeting Shanks's gaze with a cool, unreadable stare. "Nothing's going on, Captain," he replied, his voice deep and gravelly, though the way he lingered on the word 'Captain' suggested he knew he'd been caught. He shifted his weight, the cigarette dangling from his lips. "Maybe you're just spending too much time with the sake and not enough time watching the horizon."

[Setting: Main Deck of the Red Force; Mid Afternoon]

"Stop staring Benn, or I might have to make you stop staring."

Benn didn't flinch when you spoke. He didn't even blink. His grey eyes remained fixed on you, heavy with an intensity that he usually reserved for reading enemy battle formations. He took a slow, deliberate drag from his cigarette, the cherry glowing bright orange before he exhaled a thin stream of smoke that curled lazily around his scarred features.

Internally, his heart hammered against his ribs a traitorous rhythm that contradicted his glacial exterior. Every time you were near, his tactical mind, the one Shanks relied on to navigate the most dangerous waters of the New World, became a cluttered mess. He knew it was dangerous territory; you were his captain's child, and the age gap was something Shanks never let him forget. But looking at you, he couldn't find a single logical reason to stop. He admired everything your fire, your independence, and the way you weren't intimidated by him. The mere threat of you 'making him stop' sent a thrill through him that he carefully masked behind a stoic expression.

Shanks' laughter exploded beside them, loud and unrestrained. The captain threw his head back, nearly spilling sake down his front as he slapped his knee. "Bwahaha! Did you hear that, Benn? They've got you figured out already!" Shanks leaned forward, his grin widening as he shot a mischievous glance at his first mate. "Careful now, Benn. If you keep staring like that, people might start thinking you've got a crush on my kid. And we both know you're getting way too old for these kinds of games."

Benn finally shifted, the corner of his mouth quirking up into a faint, dangerous smirk. He didn't look at Shanks; his focus remained entirely on you. He lowered the cigarette from his lips, leaning back against the railing with a casual grace that made his massive frame seem almost relaxed. His voice came out in that familiar deep, gravelly rumble that carried an undertone of something far more intimate than friendship.

"Is that so?" he asked quietly, his gaze dropping briefly to your lips before meeting your eyes again. "And how exactly do you plan on making me stop?"

[Setting: Red Force Deck; Sunset]

The sun was bleeding crimson across the Grand Line's horizon, casting long, dancing shadows across the deck of the Red Force. The evening air was thick with the intoxicating aroma of roasting meat, expensive sake, and the salt spray of the sea. Laughter erupted in waves from the crew Yasopp was likely mid story, his boisterous cackle cutting through the music, while the distant clatter of Lucky Roux's eating could be heard as background noise.

Benn Beckman leaned against the sturdy wooden railing at the edge of the party's main circle, one booted foot hooked behind the other. A cigarette dangled from the corner of his mouth, the cherry glowing brighter each time he drew in a slow, measured breath. His expression was the picture of stoic composure the calm, unshakable anchor of the Red Hair Pirates. To anyone glancing his way, he appeared to be simply observing the horizon, his sharp eyes scanning for threats or perhaps just lost in tactical thought.

But his focus was compromised.

His gaze kept drifting, almost involuntarily, away from the sea and toward the center of the celebration. There you were, sitting beside Shanks. The fading sunlight caught the gold in your eyes and the way your expression brightened when your father made some ridiculous, drunken joke. Shanks was in rare form, his face flushed red from sake, his arm draped carelessly over the back of your seat as he roared with laughter, nearly spilling his own mug.

Dammit, Benn thought, the smoke curling around his face like a shroud. He took another drag, feeling the familiar, dull ache in his chest. He was a man who prided himself on control, on reading every battlefield and predicting every move, yet he couldn't seem to predict how to stop his own pulse from quickening whenever you smiled.

It was dangerous. He knew it. He knew Shanks his captain, his brother in arms would likely throw a tantrum worthy of a Yonko if he knew exactly what was passing through Benn's mind. There was a line, a clear and undeniable boundary between a First Mate and the child of his Captain. But watching you laugh, seeing that spark of genuine joy that seemed to light up even the rowdiest Red Force banquet, made that line feel infuriatingly thin. He found himself memorizing the way you tilted your head when you drank, the way your shoulders shook with mirth. He wanted to protect that laughter, to be the reason behind it, and yet he remained in the shadows, a silent guardian who wanted far more than just safety.

He exhaled a long plume of smoke, his eyes narrowing slightly as he watched you take another sip from your drink, completely oblivious to the predator sharp gaze of the man watching you from the periphery.

[Setting: A coastal village marketplace; Mid afternoon]

The marketplace was a disaster zone of overturned fruit stalls and splintered wood. The remaining bandits had scattered after a few well placed shots from Benn’s musket, but the threat hadn't fully dissipated their companions were still lurking in the alleyways, ready to ambush anyone who let their guard down. Benn didn't care about the stragglers right now; his entire world had narrowed down to the person currently pressed against his chest.

One arm was wrapped firmly around your waist, pulling you flush against him to shield you from any stray projectiles or desperate lunges. His other hand gripped his rifle, the barrel pointed toward the street with steady aim. To anyone watching, he looked like the ever composed First Mate of the Red Hair Pirates cold, efficient, and utterly in control. But beneath the leather of his coat and the casual lean of his shoulders, his body was betraying him.

His heart was hammering against his ribs with such violence that he was certain you could feel it through his shirt. It wasn't the adrenaline of the fight; he had faced Emperors and Armies without his pulse quickening. This was different. This was the dizzying, dangerous proximity of someone he had spent years convincing himself he shouldn't want. The way you fit against him, the faint scent of your skin mixing with the gunpowder and tobacco in the air it was overwhelming.

Damn it, he thought, his jaw tightening as he took a slow drag from his cigarette, though his fingers trembled almost imperceptibly. You’re supposed to be the smart one, Beckman. The tactician. And here you are, losing your composure because Shanks' kid is breathing against you.

He knew the risks. He knew the inevitable chaos Shanks would unleash if he caught on the dramatic wailing about 'betrayal' and 'fatherly duties.' But as he felt the heat of your body against his, the rational part of his brain went quiet. All that mattered was that you were safe in his arms, and all he wanted was to hold you there just a few seconds longer than necessary.

Benn didn't pull away. Instead, he shifted his stance slightly, angling his body to better cover you, his breath warm against your hair as he kept his eyes scanning the perimeter.

[Setting: Red Force Main Deck; Late Afternoon]

Benn was leaning against the mahogany railing of the Red Force, his broad shoulders relaxed as he stared out at the shimmering expanse of the New World. The sun was beginning its slow descent, painting the sky in bruised purples and fiery oranges that matched the captain's hair. Between his lips was a cigarette, the familiar ember glowing as he took a long drag, the smoke curling upward into the salty sea breeze.

When he heard your voice and specifically that nickname his fingers stilled against the railing. "Benny." Nobody else on this ship dared to call him that without expecting a bullet to graze their ear, but coming from you, it felt like a different language entirely. It was a small thing, a casual observation about his health, but it made something in his chest tighten.

Always worrying about me, he thought, a ghost of a smile tugging at the corner of his mouth. His inner state was a constant battle between his tactical mind which reminded him that you were his captain's child and that this crush was a dangerous complication and his heart, which had been thoroughly captured by your spirit long ago. He found your concern endearing, a gentle contrast to the chaotic violence of their daily lives as pirates. He wanted to reach out, to tuck a stray hair behind your ear or pull you closer, but he kept his composure locked tight.

Benn exhaled a slow stream of smoke, turning his head to meet your gaze. His eyes softened, the usual sharp intensity of the First Mate melting into something far more vulnerable and warm. "Is that so?" he asked, his voice deep and gravelly, carrying that smooth, confident undertone he reserved just for you. "I've survived Haki enhanced battles and Marine ambushes... I think I can handle a little tobacco."

He didn't put the cigarette out, but he didn't take another drag either. Instead, he tilted his head, studying your face with an intensity that betrayed how much he truly adored you.

"Though," he added, lowering his voice so only you could hear, "if you're that worried about me, maybe you should find a better way to keep me distracted."

"HEY!"

The moment was shattered by a familiar, boisterous yell. Shanks was stumbling toward you both, a half empty bottle of sake in one hand, his face split into a grin that was equal parts protective and deeply mischievous. "Are you two having a moment again? I can smell the flirting from the galley!" Shanks dramatically threw an arm around your shoulders, pulling you into a side hug while pointing his free hand accusingly at Benn. "And you! Stop trying to corrupt my kid with your bad habits, Benn! You're already old enough to be well, you're just old enough!"

[Setting: Red Force deck; Afternoon]

The afternoon sun hung heavy over the Grand Line, casting a warm, golden glow across the deck of the Red Force. The usual chaos of the crew was subdued to a pleasant murmur the distant sound of Yasopp recounting a story to Lucky Roux, the rhythmic creak of the ship's hull against the waves, and the occasional splash of seawater. Benn Beckman sat against the railing, one leg propped up, a cigarette dangling between his lips as he exhaled a slow, lazy plume of smoke. He was enjoying the rare moment of stillness, his sharp eyes scanning the horizon, though his mind was rarely ever truly at rest.

Then came the familiar weight against his side.

As you leaned against him, the contact sent a familiar, unwelcome jolt through his chest. Benn didn't flinch he was far too composed for that but his grip tightened fractionally on the railing. He could smell the faint sweetness of your skin beneath the sharp tang of kitchen herbs. When you spoke, your voice laced with that particular pout that always seemed to bypass his tactical defenses, he felt that familiar tug of protectiveness warring with the guilt of his own desires.

Damn it, he thought, his jaw tightening almost imperceptibly. How am I supposed to maintain any semblance of discipline when you look at me like that? He knew the unspoken rules. He knew you were the Captain's child. He knew that even a stray glance from him could be interpreted as something more by the observant crew. But when you were close, when you sought him out for comfort, the 'First Mate' persona felt like a thin veneer stretched over something far more vulnerable.

He lowered his cigarette, pressing it into the ashtray beside him. His movements were deliberate and calm, though his pulse quickened. Turning his head slightly toward you, his dark eyes softened, losing their usual piercing edge as they searched your face.

"Again?" he asked, his voice dropping to that deep, gravelly register that he reserved for quiet moments. It wasn't a reprimand; it was almost fond, tinged with a genuine concern that he couldn't quite suppress. "You'd think after the last time, you'd approach a blade with more respect."

Without waiting for an answer, he reached out, his large, calloused hand moving with surprising gentleness to intercept yours. He didn't grab you roughly; instead, he guided your wrist toward his lap so he could examine the damage. His thumb brushed lightly against the sensitive skin of your inner wrist as he inspected the cut, his touch steady and grounding.

"Let me see it," he murmured, his gaze fixed intently on the wound, though his mind was acutely aware of how close your bodies were pressed together. "How deep is it?"

[Setting: Wooded shoreline near the Red Force; Late Afternoon]

Benn’s large frame effectively caged you against the rough bark of the ancient tree, his body heat seeping through your clothes as he pressed closer. One hand was braced beside your head, fingers splayed against the wood, while his other arm wound around your waist to hold you steady. The world around you was a blur of dappled sunlight and rustling leaves, but Benn’s focus was entirely narrowed down to the delicate column of your throat.

His lips were warm against your skin, trailing slow, deliberate kisses from your jawline down to the sensitive dip where your neck met your shoulder. Each exhale was a ghost of heat against your flesh. He could smell the familiar salt of the ocean clinging to you, and it mixed with his own scent the sharp, earthy aroma of tobacco and expensive leather.

God, I shouldn't be doing this, he thought, though his actions betrayed his internal conflict. His mind, usually a fortress of tactical calculations and logical progressions, was currently a haze of want. He knew the risk; he knew Shanks would likely have a complete and utterly dramatic meltdown if he caught them, but that only added a dangerous thrill to the moment. He found himself cataloging every shiver that ran through you, every small sound you made, memorizing the way you felt in his arms as if this were a treasure he had to hide from the rest of the world. He wasn't the type for grand displays, but here, in the quiet shadows of the grove, his devotion manifested as this hungry, silent intensity.

"Shhh.. your dad will hear us," he murmured against your skin, his voice a low, gravelly vibration that you could feel more than hear. His lips lingered there for a heartbeat longer than necessary, his breath hitching slightly. Despite his usual composure, his heartbeat was drumming a rapid rhythm against your chest a rare crack in his stoic armor that revealed just how much you affected him.
