A/N: I don't own One Piece, but I do own Nero Lich.

"I have WHAT?" cried Lich for the third time that morning. He, Hogback and Perona were standing side Hogback's lab, Lich lying down on the examination table. He had been feeling like crap all day.

"Phylatitis, Lich-sama, and please don't shout." replied Hogback, wincing. Lich sat up, Perona staring at his bare chest.

"How the hell do zombies get diseases anyway?" muttered Lich.

"What can we do to cure it?" asked Perona, snapping out of her reverie.

"Plenty of bed rest, make sure he doesn't overexert himself, and give him these pills," -Hogback took out a small black bottle and handed it to Perona- "Every four hours, every day. He'll need to rest for at least a week."

Lich got off the table and Perona helped him walk out the door and round to her place. When they got there, Perona pushed him onto the bed. "Now don't get up, Lich-kun. I'll get you anything you need."

"Well, I could do with something to read if I'm going to be stuck here all week."

"Sure thing. I'll be back in a minute." Perona walked off while Lich lamented his fate. Nero Lich, second-strongest in Thriller Bark, brought down by a disease. He would have killed himself out of shame if that wouldn't make Perona-chan very sad.

Perona came back, and Lich's jaw dropped and he got an instant nosebleed. She was wearing a skimpy white nurse's outfit without the hat and with a skirt that rode just below her buttocks. If she bent over in that…..

She gave him his favourite book (Iaido: A Study of Mental Swordplay) and kissed him on the lips, before turning away and going to get him some soup. Before she could go, however, Lich grabbed her ass, making her yelp cutely.

"You look gorgeous in that." he complimented. Perona blushed.

"I thought you'd like it." she replied, before hurrying off to the kitchen.

He looked through his book, which incidentally taught him about Brook's swordfighting style. It was interesting, but he doubted he'd ever use it. He liked to create his own techniques too much.

Perona returned again and gave him his soup (chicken) on a tray, with some orange juice in a plastic cup.

Lich dipped his spoon in he soup and took some. It was hot and creamy, and warmed him down to his stomach. He smiled as Perona lay on the bed next to him, leaning her head on his shoulder.

"What am I going to do if there's a Night Attack?" he asked her.

"I'll tell Moria-sama I'm taking care of you." she replied.

He smiled down at her and kissed her on the forehead. "You're adorable."

She smiled back at him before getting up and going to the kitchen. However, she dropped a pen in front of him (it might have been deliberate, I dunno.)

"Oopsie." she trilled, as she bent over in front of Lich.

He could have died of blood loss right there.

Maybe this week wouldn't be so bad after all. Not if Perona-chan kept wearing outfits like that.

A/N: Like it? And yes, that is the way Lich would behave if his lover was wearing things like that.

Lich: What he hell is 'phylatitis' anyway?

Me: It's a disease that makes your balls fall off.

Lich: I hate you so much.
