Hello again~ Miss me? Course ya did. ;) Well, today, I have a little experiment I wanted to try out. *Rubs hands together wickedly*

You all remember Celienne, right? From my story Slash? Well, yeah, she's being involved in this.

For a few weeks, I've had this...crrrraaaazy idea.

What if.

Celienne fell in love with someone other than Zoro?

...

Let's see~


I hadn't been feeling so hot since leaving Punk Hazard. Having been pelting repeatedly with snow by that crazy bird lady, Monet, wasn't making it better. I'd been sneezing over and over, having terrible headaches, more than the usual ones I had out of stress. Jesus, what was this?

A knock on my door made me look up. Sanji was at my door, giving me a big smile. I gave him my regular half–hearted grin, only this time it was more like a one-fourth hearted grin.

"I have some hot chocolate for you, Celienne, beautiful!" He said, setting the drink topped with whipped cream and peppermint chips on my table. I nodded my thanks, taking a little sip. Sanji stayed there awhile, looking down at me with concern. I felt it, wincing slightly.

"I'm okay, if that's what you're wondering..." I said, holding my temples. Shit, even my own voice was giving me a searing headache. "I'm just tired, that's all."

Sanji stared at me for a while longer, but eventually nodded, stepping out. "Let me know if you need something, okay?" I smiled lightly at him.

"Yes. Thank you, Sanji-San."


I stood under the hot shower, my back against the wall. My eyes closed, trying to block out the blinding pain. I figured this shower would at least sort of numb it down, but I was wrong. It only got even worse. Felt like Sanji was slicing and dicing my brain, putting it in the oven on 400 degrees. Not only that, my arms and legs were sore as hell. My muscles would barely work. I creaked the water off slowly, pulling back the curtain to grab my towel.

"Okay, come on..." I grumbled to myself. Looking around. "Where the hell is it? I put it in on the rack, didn't I?" Apparently, not, since it wasn't there. In fact, it was nowhere in the bathroom. That's when I remembered: I was in such a hurry to get under some water, I had forgotten the towel.

Shit...

I stepped out of the shower, my arms crossed over my bare chest, crossing my legs a little. I peeped the door open, hoping no one was coming, looking left and right. When I didn't see anybody, I made a break for it. I ran down the hall, holding my breasts, trying not to slip from my aching legs and wet feet.

Just as I thought I was safe from anyone seeing me, I turned the corner in a sharp turn, and felt hands grasp my shoulder to prevent me from ramming into them. I looked up in shock and embarrassment.

"Hey, what're you doing running like that? You could have made me break my neck!" Trafalgar Law said in an irritated voice. Oh yeah...forgot he was on the ship, too. After Punk Hazard, Law decided to stick around on the ship for a while longer. And right now, he looked more ticked off than confused at my naked mad dash.

"Well, geez, princess, sorry." I retorted. "But as you can plainly see, I kinda need to cover u-" Before I could finish, another blow of brain numbing pain entered my head. I doubled over, my head against Law's chest as I gritted my teeth against the pain.

"H-Hey! Are you alright?!" He asked, gripping my shoulders tighter. "My god, you're so warm..."

"Duh...I-I just took...a..." My legs eventually gave in, and my eyes fell shut as everything went pitch black.


The clinking of glass against glass was what woke me up. I slowly opened my eyes, groaning quietly at the still present pain. I tried sitting up, but a hand shoved me back down on the bed I was in.

"Hey! What the hell?" I shouted. Just then, I realized I wasn't even in my own room.

"Don't worry," Law's voice said from the other side of the room. "You're in the sick bay. You passed out earlier. You had a raging fever." I nodded in understanding, looking down at my body, now covered in Law's hoodie and some boxers.

"Ah, don't you need this?" I asked, tugging at the hoodie. He turned from what he was doing at the table, gave a little grin, turning back. "You keep it." He said, surprising me. He got up, coming over to the bed, sitting down next to me. He handed me a medicine cup filled with a blue-ish liquid. "Here take this, it'll hopefully ease the pain."

I took the cup, taking a little sip, immediately gagging a little. "God! This tastes horrible! Ugh!" Law rolled his eyes, seemingly unamused.

"Look, I'm a doctor, not a chef. Medicine isn't supposed to taste like heaven, it's supposed to make you feel better, so if you want to feel better, I suggest you take it." He said, looking me square in the eye. I stared into his storm gray eyes for a while. For some people, Law seemed like a cold hearted asshole. And at times, he totally is. But really, he wasn't half bad. And right now, he seemed really concerned about me, or maybe didn't want to get yelled at for not helping me.

I sighed, and downed the stuff down, smacking my lips, wincing at the bitter taste. "Thanks." I muttered, handing the cup back. Law set the cup on the table by the bed. "You're lucky we ran into each other," he said, making me raise a brow. "Oh? How's that?" I challenged, crossing my arms.

He gave me another one of his smiles, which for some reason, made something in my chest go light, and my face flush. Probably another symptom I'd have to tell him about. "Well, if you hadn't run into me, you would have passed out, and by the time someone found you, you most likely would have been dead." I frowned at this, grimacing at the ceiling. "Geez...that's a sad way to go. Naked and sick."

Law actually gave a little chuckle at that, reaching over, ruffling my bangs a little. "Don't worry, I wouldn't let anything like that happen to you, Celienne-Ya."

Not many people can do this to me, not even Zoro sometimes. And he was my boyfriend. But Law actually managed to do it.

He made me blush. A true, genuine blush.

I got up quickly, to avoid doing something stupid.

"Hey, Celienne-Ya, maybe you should go back to-"

"No, no, Law, I'll be fine!" I said, heading out, running to my room, shutting the door behind me, my back against the wood. Oi...what is happening to me...?
