Media: Fic
Characters: Buggy, Shanks

Prompt: History
A/N: This fits with the prompt because... they have history with each other? ...-_-'
Buggy crouched on a rooftop about a block away from the town square, in full view of the execution platform and the red-haired man chained on top. He laughed loudly at the hilarity of it all, his voice carrying on the wind. There should be fireworks, he thought, and balloons, and a flashy parade, hell, even just some popcorn would be nice!
He had always known that Shanks, that idiot, would get caught eventually, and today was that day. It was his good fortune that he happened to be in town for the execution. His laughter escalated in pitch and jollity.
Today died his biggest rival. The man he blamed for every misfortune that had crossed him since eating his Devil Fruit. The man who showed him up at every opportunity. The man he hated with all his soul.
The man he had been apprenticed with. Drunk ale with. Shared a blanket with on particularly cold watch nights.
The man who had been almost like his brother.
Buggy’s laughter dimmed and then died completely, and somehow he found himself staring right into Shanks’ eyes.
The flashy bastard actually had the nerve to smile and nod at him!
Buggy looked at his feet. He kicked his toe hard against the roof. He grumbled and muttered excuses.
Then, with a final curse, he starting sprinting with flash across the rooftops toward the platform, screaming, “Bara Bara Festival!”
Shanks was damn lucky Buggy was willing to save him.

Date: 2010-03-10 01:12 am (UTC)I'm surprised they don't get more love. After all, their relationship is almost exactly like Zoro's and Sanji's...
Oh, and they were under the first Pirate King together, and now Sanji and Zoro are under the second (we hope). Hah. Oda, you are too cute. XP

Date: 2010-03-10 01:19 am (UTC)Since I love Sanji I am casting him as Shanks....and instead of "Money" Buggy-Zoro will be obsessed with "Fame/Being the best swordsman".
Awwww...Stupid Buggy! You could have still been together and accomplish both your goals!!
*Weeps*

Date: 2010-03-10 02:51 am (UTC)I really do like the relationship between Buggy and Shanks (at least, what's been shown in canon), and since Buggy himself doesn't seem to be a popular character, nobody really writes any fic about him, which is kind of sad, because it could be interesting (or at the least, very funny) to watch him as he travels around, either in his younger days on the Oro Jackson, or with his crew on the Big Top. Or even with Galdino post-Marineford.
And I seriously need to find or make a Buggy icon.

Date: 2010-03-10 03:03 am (UTC)I actually love him because he's made of FAIL! He attracts me in the same way Team Rocket did when I was younger, or the same way Ed, Edd, and Eddy do. He's so bad at being bad, it's hilarious! You just have to laugh about it.
And... he's kind of sexy when he takes off that big coat and is just in his shirt... daaaang...
I'm too lazy to make icons of any kind *pokes default Sanji icon* as you can see. XP

Date: 2010-03-10 03:05 am (UTC)No problem.
...I just realized this has over 20 comments because of our little Buggy motive discussion here. Talk about misrepresentation; people are going to think my writing is actually inspired. XP
no subject
Date: 2010-03-10 03:22 am (UTC)cutes! I liked young buggys look better back then too.
Ohh Leaper found one of mine and commented on it!
Date: 2010-03-10 03:30 am (UTC)I may be inspired to write more...it's kinda cute...but since they aren't together and Buggy is such a small fry compared to Shanks it makes me sad too.
