⠀⠀you know that you don't /actually/ need to stop drinking for a little scratch, right? * 💧 .

( he's ready to follow but god, he worries for what seems to be a severe lack of medical knowledge. )
⠀

[ᅠᅠ : ᅠ* ᅠ𝗯 ͡ₑ̲﹙🏴‍☠️﹚*𝐧𝐧̳.ᅠ ۪ᅠノᅠᅠ @firstm8s]

⠀you know i wouldn’t have commit to it. ⠀( ⠀⠀a wave of injured hand dismissively. ⠀⠀) ⠀⠀come with me, then. ⠀⠀please.

[੭ ֹ 𝗛𝗢𝗡𝗚𝗢 𓏼 @medhaired]

⠀
⠀⠀what happened to the doctors advice ?

( he raises his brow — he may be a doctor but at the end he was a pirates doctor. )

just one or two. i was only pulling your leg, after all.
⠀

[ᅠᅠ : ᅠ* ᅠ𝗯 ͡ₑ̲﹙🏴‍☠️﹚*𝐧𝐧̳.ᅠ ۪ᅠノᅠᅠ @firstm8s]

⠀⠀( hongo would've kept a straight face had the other not reacted so strongly, laughing away in his seat and clutching his stomach — laughter was the best medicine after all. )

i'm teasing, i'm teasing—

⠀i'm not going to ---- ?!⠀(⠀⠀face suddenly turning red,⠀reminiscing of a cherry tomato as he points a finger at hongo all angrily.⠀⠀not /actually/ angry.⠀⠀)⠀⠀you pervert!⠀⠀i wasn't thinkin' anythin' of the sorts!⠀⠀*💢♨️

[੭ ֹ 𝗛𝗢𝗡𝗚𝗢 𓏼 @medhaired]

⠀
⠀⠀what did we say about not needing to thank me, eh?

( a playful pat on the shoulder that turns into a bicep squeeze, a hearty chuckle to accompany. )

now no smoking, no alcohol, no drugs, no sudden movements, no wrestling the 'ol python downstairs, etc, etc .
⠀

[ᅠᅠ : ᅠ* ᅠ𝗯 ͡ₑ̲﹙🏴‍☠️﹚*𝐧𝐧̳.ᅠ ۪ᅠノᅠᅠ @firstm8s]

⠀you know what you’re doing. ⠀( ⠀⠀lip curls upward, continuing to pout a little in embarrassment. ⠀⠀though⠀, it already feels a /lot/ more bearable once the bandage is wrapped around finger. ⠀⠀)⠀⠀ * . . . ⠀hmph. ⠀⠀thank you..

[੭ ֹ 𝗛𝗢𝗡𝗚𝗢 𓏼 @medhaired]

⠀
⠀⠀it's not silly — you're a big boy, no?

( strips are carefully placed one by one, pulling the cut closed and holding it in place so that eventually the skin would heal over.

then he wraps it in a cloth bandage for good measure, protecting the tape work. )

there.
⠀

[ᅠᅠ : ᅠ* ᅠ𝗯 ͡ₑ̲﹙🏴‍☠️﹚*𝐧𝐧̳.ᅠ ۪ᅠノᅠᅠ @firstm8s]

⠀you don’t. need to call me such silly names.. ⠀( ⠀⠀he tries to act all embarassed, ⠀but it’s obvious that benn doesn’t hate the nickname. ⠀⠀being as still as he possibly can while looking away. ⠀⠀)

[੭ ֹ 𝗛𝗢𝗡𝗚𝗢 𓏼 @medhaired]

⠀⠀that's why you're a doll, 'kino. you really are.

[💚 Makino @PARRTYSBAR]

yeah, it does 💖 I get to be real creative in making mocktails for you!

[੭ ֹ 𝗛𝗢𝗡𝗚𝗢 𓏼 @medhaired]

⠀
⠀⠀i drink but not like the others and that's gotta count for something, right? don't worry, i can keep a secret * 😉 .
⠀

[💚 Makino @PARRTYSBAR]

hehe, it's because I let you boys get away with a lot of havoc and free drinks

[੭ ֹ 𝗛𝗢𝗡𝗚𝗢 𓏼 @medhaired]

⠀
⠀⠀i'll make sure to pop in the moment we get the chance. you know we're your biggest fans.
⠀

[💚 Makino @PARRTYSBAR]

[੭ ֹ 𝗛𝗢𝗡𝗚𝗢 𓏼 @medhaired]

⠀
⠀⠀god .. what could i teach a man like you, huh? i'm sure a lot of it would be common sense which it's something you've gotta have to run a kitchen the way you do.

i'm real lookin' forward to that pie .. * 🤤 .
⠀

[→﹐ 🍖 ﹒ 𝙇𝙐𝘾𝙆𝙔 𝙍𝙊𝙐𝙓﹒ @LCKYRUX]

Ya know I love food ! And just ya wait , it’s gonna taste even better than it sounds ! ( He prepares the mix as he talks , as always his smile never leaving his face )

Maybe one of these days I’ll make ya company at tha med bay , maybe ya can teach me a thing or two !

[੭ ֹ 𝗛𝗢𝗡𝗚𝗢 𓏼 @medhaired]

⠀
⠀⠀i'll take what i can get as long as it's from this little rascal, eh? * ✨ .
⠀

[💚 Makino @PARRTYSBAR]

Pfft. If he tried right now he'd probably end up saying 'homo'

[੭ ֹ 𝗛𝗢𝗡𝗚𝗢 𓏼 @medhaired]

⠀
⠀⠀come on, big boy.

( brief praise as he allows a few seconds for the excess alcohol to dry up — the medical tape is cut into thin, small and precise strips which hongo uses to slowly pull the cut closed. )

now hold still, don't want the tape moving before i wrap it ..
⠀

[ᅠᅠ : ᅠ* ᅠ𝗯 ͡ₑ̲﹙🏴‍☠️﹚*𝐧𝐧̳.ᅠ ۪ᅠノᅠᅠ @firstm8s]

⠀( ⠀⠀shuddering a bit as he feels the fresh sting of the alcohol hit the wound. ⠀⠀hissing through his teeth, ⠀clamping eyes shut. ⠀⠀) ⠀⠀ooow —— shit.. ⠀⠀*💧

[੭ ֹ 𝗛𝗢𝗡𝗚𝗢 𓏼 @medhaired]

⠀
⠀⠀you don't have to thank me.

( a small grin, repeating what the other had already stated — he holds his hand, finger looped around the others to keep it still, sort of intimate ...

he drips a bottle of cleansing alcohol over it, grip tightening incase it stung. )
⠀

[ᅠᅠ : ᅠ* ᅠ𝗯 ͡ₑ̲﹙🏴‍☠️﹚*𝐧𝐧̳.ᅠ ۪ᅠノᅠᅠ @firstm8s]

⠀( ⠀⠀grumble, ⠀grumble. ⠀⠀giving said hand to hongo, ⠀or atleast extending it to where it was in his reach. ⠀⠀watching the other get all the supplies… ⠀⠀)⠀* . . . ⠀i know i don’t gotta thank ya. ⠀⠀but. ⠀⠀uh. ⠀⠀thanks.

[੭ ֹ 𝗛𝗢𝗡𝗚𝗢 𓏼 @medhaired]

⠀
⠀⠀he'll get it in no time — hongo's gonna be his next word, right? ( teasing, of course. )
⠀

[💚 Makino @PARRTYSBAR]

he just needs more practice 🥹

[੭ ֹ 𝗛𝗢𝗡𝗚𝗢 𓏼 @medhaired]

⠀
⠀⠀you sure know your stuff and that's why everything you say sounds so good — i'm sure you could sell me on ingredients alone, you know.

( he continues to stay out of the way, leaning against an unused spot of the kitchen counter. )
⠀

[→﹐ 🍖 ﹒ 𝙇𝙐𝘾𝙆𝙔 𝙍𝙊𝙐𝙓﹒ @LCKYRUX]

ВАНАНАНА ! Of course there's more to it! The filling has whipping cream though I like to use sour cream balances it out a lil ( He knows the kitchen like the back of his hand so he fins everything pretty quickly )

It's also got eggs, sugar, butter &&

[੭ ֹ 𝗛𝗢𝗡𝗚𝗢 𓏼 @medhaired]

⠀
⠀⠀not terrible — but seriously. give me your hand.

( in the meantime he helps himself to a small roll of medical tape and a fabric bandage. )

i'll have to tape it closed and wrap it but there shouldn't be a scar once it's healed.
⠀

[ᅠᅠ : ᅠ* ᅠ𝗯 ͡ₑ̲﹙🏴‍☠️﹚*𝐧𝐧̳.ᅠ ۪ᅠノᅠᅠ @firstm8s]

⠀come on.⠀⠀that's not funny.⠀⠀(⠀⠀a little scoff,⠀rolling his eyes all pouty.⠀⠀cheeks just a little pink.⠀⠀)⠀⠀so it's not terrible,⠀then...

( he finds himself a stranger to the kitchen, choosing to stand a few steps back and out of luckys path as he scours for ingredients. )
⠀

[੭ ֹ 𝗛𝗢𝗡𝗚𝗢 𓏼 @medhaired]

⠀⠀believe me, i know that shanks in here is the last thing we need — respectively as a chef and a doctor.

it can't /just/ be honey in a pie crust, can it? that sounds .. imbalanced. there has to be more to it.
⠀

[→﹐ 🍖 ﹒ 𝙇𝙐𝘾𝙆𝙔 𝙍𝙊𝙐𝙓﹒ @LCKYRUX]

Not if ya make it right !

Ya know what ? No second breakfast ! It’s time for a honey pie !! Yer totally missing out ! Coooome on !!

( He quickly heads for the kitchen and starts looking for the ingredients )

If you see Shanks looming around BLOCK ! Tha way ! &&
