You didn't knew how you and Smoker were ended in marriage, he wasn't the one who showed too much affection (different from you), but you knew when he was sincere.

You sit at his office, he was working for a bunch of days this trying to find a certain strawhat pirate, he was smoking a lot more than usual, you were a bit concerned, but, you didn't wanted to distract him.

He suddenly stopped, getting up from his chair and sitting at your side on the counch, he was overworked and exhausted, and a bit needy for attention, he just doesn't know how to ask for this, so he kept quiet with his normal stoic face, looking down until you noticed what he wanted, he loves you, he just wasn't used to be needy when overworked around you...
