So, this is my second drabble. No. I actually wrote it before Love Hurt, I had no idea why the story is another one sided. But I kinda like the idea of one sided love.
One Piece belongs to Odachii.
Zoro POV
9988... 9989...
"...ro"
9990... 9991...
"...ro! Hey!"
9960... ?
"...looo!"
9000... ?!
"ZORO!"
"What is it Luffy?"
I lost track of my counting which force me to stop from my weights lifting, and turn my face to the noisy Captain.
"I've been calling you for minutes now!" he looked like he pissed.
"Well, so sorry for not hear you. What do you want?" I turn my body completely facing him. He crouches in front of me.
It's rare for Luffy to disturb me while I'm training. I've known it for a while that if he does so it means that there is something important. But no matter how important the thing is, it still bothers my training so I didn't really appreciate it.
"Sanji is out to restock, don't you think it's the right moment to talk?" the Captain said with his ear to ear smile. I just sigh in respond.
"What?" the smile fade to frown.
"Luffy, you've said that every single time we made a port and when he's out shopping. And you also knew that I talked to him in that every moment. You should already know the answer."
"I know. But..."
"Captain, if you don't want to add more salt in my wound, then we better stop this topic. I don't feel like discussing it right now." I turn around and decided to get back to my exercise. I can hear the captain snort from behind but I ignore him.
"But you know that you can always come to talk to me right?" he said.
"Aye, Captain... And thank you." That... is one that I appreciate.
Luffy finally leave me alone to continue whatever exercise I was doing, which I completely forget after the captain brought out the topic about my one sided love toward the love-cook, and the painful rejection in every confession I made. I just can't concentrate anymore.
Is not like I giving up on the cook. No. I still love him, and will keep loving him for as long as my heart can carry it. I just stop forcing my feeling to him because I don't want him to hate me and I don't want to make him uncomfortable around me. We are crewmates after all, we are nakama. So if loving him from the shadow is the only thing I could get, then I would cherish it.
Well, because love is unconditional, right?
END
AN: I'm sorry if there're lots of grammar mistake. I'm still new in this so hopefully you want to help me improve with giving me some review. Thanks a lot :D
