It was yet another beautiful day on the sea, there wasn't a cloud in sight and the sun was shining brightly. I was merrily fishing on the Sunny along with Usopp and Chopper, I had my legs hung over the side of our glorious ship and was swinging them two and from. I felt good today.

'I bet I could catch a real big fish for dinner.' I wiped the drool that had formed at the corner of my mouth.

All of a sudden I felt a large yank on the end of my fishing line but before I could react I had started to fall into the ocean. All I heard and saw were Usopp and Chopper above me calling my name in unison.

"LUFFY!" They both cried.

Before I could register what was going on I felt a pair of strong muscular arms wrap themselves around me, knowing instantly who they must belong to I relaxed into the grip. Of course I knew that it was Zoro, he always knew when I needed saving. As we broke the service I gasped for air whilst Zoro kicked towards the ladder that the guys had thrown down to us. He effortlessly climbed the steps whilst holding me tightly to his body, only letting go slightly when we made it back to the deck.

I felt my body sway, the seawater still taking an effect on my body so I was glad that Zoro was still holding onto me. Before I could fall to the floor he pulled me to his side, placing an arm around me to keep me standing. I could hear the others saying things around me but I couldn't register just what it was they were actually saying but I could certainly take a guess.

"SUPER save Zoro-bro" Accompanied by a big thumbs up from Frankie

"BE CAREFUL, YOU MORON" Sanji would say.

"ARE YOU TRYING TO DIE?!" Would be Nami's reaction.

"SOMEONE GET A DOCTOR! WE NEED A DOCTOR RIGHT NOW!" Would come from his little fury friend, Chopper.

"CHOPPER YOU ARE A DOCTOR!" They would all say in unison, excluding himself, Zoro and Robin.

It was the same every time this happened, they all reacted the same. It made me chuckle when I thought about it, I know my crew so well, they were so predictable at times like this. Just as I thought about this I was pulled out of my thoughts by none other than my swordsman.

"Hey Luffy, we need to get you out of these clothes. You'll end up getting sick" I could see the concern in my first mates eyes, the same look he always wore after he saved me from the sea.

"Aye, let's go Zoro" I nodded towards the green haired male keeping me stable and let him lead me towards my own specific bath. After Frankie had joined the crew he noticed that I needed to have someone, aka Zoro, help me bathe due to the fact we used seawater instead of regular water (courtesy of Nami and her constant wining about her skin). So he decided to build me a separate bath that would more than big enough for me and Zoro to move around freely. It was a good idea, giving us both more room, but I have to admit I was a little disappointed by the change. I rather enjoyed how close I would be to Zoro when we used to use the normal baths we already had on the ship.

I lost my balance and almost fell over not even half way towards my bath, and yet again it was lucky that Zoro had a hold on me, stopping my face from meeting the floor. This time I felt an arm move to behind my back and the other moved to behind my legs. Within seconds he had lifted off of the ground and into his arms, carrying me bridal style. I remember the first time he carried me this way, it was totally embarrassing but now I enjoyed it when he carried me this way. I could somewhat cuddle up to his broad chest without being noticed and it was a lovely feeling. Just as I started to really relax in his arms, we arrived at the baths. Carefully Zoro placed me on the side of the bath, holding me up with one hand whilst he started to fill the bath. Whilst we waiting for it to fill up he placed his hand on my hat and removed it from my neck, gently placing it to the side where I could still see my most precious possession. He then proceeded to strip me of my clothes and once the bath was filled he lifted me into the water, placing himself behind me with his legs either side of my body.

We never talked when he bathed me, not because it was awkward or anything like that, we were just comfortable with the silence. Zoro knows that it is hard for me to talk too much when I was weak like this so we just sat in our comfortable silence whilst he washed my body. I was thankful we didn't talk at times like this. Don't get me wrong, I love talking to Zoro more than anyone else but having a very naked Zoro behind you is a distracting thought indeed. It takes all of my strength to not let my mind wander in this situation but most of the time I end up feeling myself harden regardless due to Zoro washing over sensitive areas of my body.

On this particular day it seemed even more difficult to fight against my naughty thoughts, possibly due to the sexy dream I had that involved my first mate the night before. Just as memories of my dream came flooding back to me I was startled by something touching me.

Suddenly I felt something large and hard brush against my back. It took me a few seconds to realise what it was, as it wasn't big enough to be his arm, too big to be his fingers. And then it clicked.

'Oh… OH'

I felt my face heat up a little now realising that it was Zoro's penis that I had felt brush against me. But then I realised…

'Is he getting hard from touching me?' I thought to myself. I didn't fully believe it, simply because it seemed too good to be true to me. If he was enjoying it that meant that he must like me a little right? He must feel the same as me, right? If that was the case I'd be extremely happy. I'd had feelings for my swordsman for such a long time now. Before I even realised I had said it, I asked Zoro a question.

"Ne, Zoro. Are you getting excited?"

I felt him freeze up at my question, he didn't move a single muscle. I turned my head towards him, followed by my body and the sight that greeted me was just too adorable. Zoro cheeks were now a brilliant shade of red and I could see a bead of sweat fall from his forehead slowly. Clearly he was nervous having been caught out. He began to open his mouth to say something but all that came out were unintelligible stutters.

"Erm… Ur… Ur… Em… Uh…. Erm…"

Ignoring his stutters I began to move closer to Zoro until my face was inches away from his own. I stared right into his eyes, trying to read how he was feeling through our own silent language but all I could make out was that he was embarrassed and nervous and I didn't need to see his eyes to know that. His blush and the sweat I could see forming on his brow was enough to let me know that was how he felt. Hoping I hadn't come to the wrong conclusion, I decided to just go for it. So I closed the final gap between the two of us, my breath ghosting over his lips as I whispered:

"You're cute when you're embarrassed Zoro"
