Pairing/Characters: Monkey D. Garp, Sengoku
Word Count: 300
Prompt: Vacation
Summary: Sengoku’s luck with friends during his stint while in-training at the Marine headquarters is pretty damn shitty. There may have been a reason for that, but one will never quite know. That, and Garp should really just shut the fuck up.
Foot-in-Mouth
It was inevitable for misunderstandings to occur in a bunk with twenty other burly – or would-be-burly – men.
Sengoku realised, in fatalistic resignation, that there was only one way he could have avoided the current spew of scandals attached to his name in p.s.-es around the Marine training headquarters:
Not shake the hand of idiots who fell asleep mid-conversation on the first day of initiation.
Monkey D. Garp was exuberant to a fault, sounded like a loud-hailer and had a mean punch that felt like what a seaking probably did if it decided to spontaneously sucker tail-fin you in the face.
Others gave Garp a berth as wide as his bright, come-hell-or-high-water-I’m-still-champion-king-of-the-world grin. Sengoku had been the exception. The exception who had mistakenly become Best-Pal-For-Life when he had accepted Garp’s offered handshake in an attempt at civility.
It took approximately four days for their odd friendship to progress from being ‘grudging’ to ‘immensely long suffering’ in a one-sided sense. It was three years before Sengoku realised that he never said ‘no’ to any of Garp’s mad schemes.
And therein lay the problem. The root of all the misconceptions their peers had about them that Garp was in no fucking way helping to disperse.
“WE’RE GOING ON A SHORT VACATION AND YOU BOYS AREN’T COMING ALONG, HA!” Sengoku heard Garp gloat thunderously three corridors away.
“Aww, damn. GARP! I don’t care if you’re flaming or whatever, just keep it to yourselves—”
“HEAR, HEAR!”
Sengoku felt premature wrinkles setting in – along with the burning desire to kill something – as he heard Garp’s (completely brainless) snort of:
“SUIT YOURSELVES! I’M GOING TO PRACTICE MY FIST OF LOVE AND PERFECT IT.”
What?
In the awkward silence that followed, Sengoku resolved to never, never agree to a two-man training vacation break with Garp ever again.

A/N: Ahaha~! I suppose a simple 'Christ, I'm so sorry for this' might not suffice? -big winsome smile- I blame it on Marines and their seeming should-be obsession with vacation. Those guys don't rest enough even if they're all sun-beach-sea-ish.

XD I loved this, like alwasy super amazing and freaking adorable!

You've captured this so well!! It's GARP (yes, he does necessitate capitalization) and all his brash/loud/oblivious nature. (Glory in it people. There is no escape.) Plus Sengoku and h ow he learns that Garp is inescapble and is that the birth of the fist of love?
LOVELOVELOVE. You win SO much for this. XD

And that it's Sengoku's life he's ruining makes it all the sweeter. XD
I love how Garp is honestly just trying to be friendly and it's backfiring horribly.
And I can just see Sengoku over there in the background, facepalming. XP
Hilarious! ^^
