"Zoro?"
It's the fourth time this week now. It's cute, annoying and a little adorable as well.
"Again, Chopper?" Zorro growls exasperatedly, cracking open an eye.
"I knew you weren't asleep…" and there goes Chopper's twinkling eyes again, "So…"
"I'm not going to, Chopper," Zoro says, rolling his eyes before closing them again, "Forget about it."
"Pleeeassseee….." Chopper pleads, his eyes all big and twinkly again, "Just for a little while…"
Zoro's eyes snaps open, glaring at the reindeer. His usual glare can scare a thousand men to stillness. It can end fights before they begin. But it can't do a single damn thing against the youngest crew mate.
"Just. One. Chapter…" Zoro says, his voice sounding as final as he could manage.
And before Chopper could let off an entirely girly squeal of joy, Zoro slapped his hand over Chopper's mouth, "Shh! Not a word… especially to that shitty cook."
Chopper nods happily, wriggling around like he's got a case of the heebie jeebies.
"I like the one with the talking pig," Chopper says, holding out the book for Zoro to read.
"Ugh, this one?" Zoro groans and opens up the book, "We read this like five times already."
"But… but…" and Chopper looks up with those shiny teary eyes that makes Zoro's big brother instincts kick into overdrive.
"Fine," Zoro snaps and pages to the first chapter, "Don't interrupt this time."
"Okay!" the young boy answers, clambering up until he's sitting on Zoro's lap, "And do the voices again too…"
"You're such a pain, you know that?" Zoro says, this time trying to suppress a smile. He settles back into the hammock and props his legs up on the bed, "Comfy?"
"Yeah!" Chopper says and smiles brightly, "Thank you!"
"Just one more time, got it?"
"Got it!"
They both knew it wouldn't be just one more time...
