Luffy's POV-
I looked out the window. It was really snowing hard, weird, I never snow's much around here. I looked back at my friend, Zoro. I met him a little while ago, when I was exploring outside my town, I met him while he was training in the forest. Zoro looked over at me. I sighed it was gonna be really snowy later, I could make it back to Makino's place if I left now though. When I told Zoro he started whining. He asked if I could play just a bit longer. That's how this started. (A/N: Italics/bold= Luffy, Italic's/Underling/ bold= Zoro Bold= both)
Look, I really can't stay!
I started to leave but Zoro grabbed my arm.
But Luffy, it's cold outside!
He said, and started pulling me back from the door.
I've got to go home for today.
I said pulling away.
But Luffy, it's cold outside!
He said again.
Today really has been,
I tried, but he interrupted me.
I was really hoping you'd stay some more.
He looked down, I felt bad, but continued.
So very nice!
I smiled,but when I opened the door my hand hit some snow, Zoro closed the door.
I'll hold your hands. They feel like ice!
He said, rubbing my hands so they'd be warm.
Makino will start to worry.
I said, thinking of how Makino cared so much for me. I was like her daughter.
Luffy stay! What's you hurry?
He said, pulling me and I fell on his lap.
Mr. Mayor will be pacing the floor.
I told him, that old man was always yelling at me for not being a 'proper young lady', crap like that.
Please! can't you play a bit more!
He smiled, I really did want to play...
So really, I'd better hurry...
I shrugged.
Luffy you don't have to hurry!
He smiled again, and we started running around.
Well, maybe a game of tag more!
I cheered, tapping his chest and running away.
You go run and I can be it!
He smiled, and we played tag, but I stopped, what if my grandpa came back?
But my grandpa might think-
But, Zoro interrupted me...
But look! It's so bad out there.
He pointed outside and pulled me back again.
Hey, how'd you catch me?
I asked when he lifted me up by my red vest.
No one to help you out there,
He said, eyes filled with worry. True, no one could help me if I fell, but I was strong! Why does Zoro worry so much?
I wish I knew how...
I thought long and hard.
I really like your brown eyes right now.
He said smiling at me. He really wasn't listening to me was he?
To break through the ice.
I thought about using my rubber pistol to break some of it away.
Let me take you hat! You hair look's so nice!
He pulled off my straw hat and smoothed my hat hair down some. I took my hat back and laughed.
I really really have to go Zoro.
I told him. But I don't think he was listening to me.
Mind if I hug you again?
Zoro blushed, I shrugged and wrapped my arms around my friends neck and hugged him for a little bit.
But really I have to go.
I told him, but he kept tugging me away from the door.
Come on Luffy! Your hurting my pride!
Zoro complained. Pride? What pride? I didn't know what that really met...
I told you that I can't stay! But...
Zoro was really convincing. I thought, it did seem more fun to stay here with him.
Luffy just stay here!
He was practically begging. Why did he want me to stay, Maybe, if it's just for a little bit...
It's really cold outside!
I played tag with Zoro again, then we played hide and seek. I was having so much fun! But, then I looked outside again. The snow got higher! I could still make it back. I started for the door, when Zoro pulled me back again.
I really must go...
I told him but he just held my hand.
I told you it was cold outside.
Zoro told me, pointing outside.
And I told you no!
I protested. But Zoro shook his head
But it's really cold outside!
He was talking like his logic was better than mine.
The games we played have been...
I tried to make my 'see ya later' short and nice. So I could come back tomorrow.
I was happy that you came by.
Zoro complained. He was making this really hard.
So fun, you house is so warm!
I said, ignoring his interruption.
I'm sure you'd get blown away by that storm!
He said, gabbing my hand and pulling me into the dojo's small kitchen.
Sabo might get suspicious...
I knew how much he worried about me.
Have some cake! It's delicious!
Zoro showed me some chocolate cake. I gladly took a piece, it really was good!
Ace will be waiting there at the door.
I thought of Ace, he got so angry when I played with other boys, that's why I didn't tell anyone about Zoro! I had to get home or he'd get mad at me!
Tomorrow we can play at the shore!
Zoro said. That would be fun, playing in the snow with Zoro!
Dadan is very vicious...
I remembered how mean she was most of the time.
Come on! This cake's so delicious!
Zoro said shoving a piece in my mouth, I chewed and swallowed.
So, maybe just a slice of cake more...
I smiled. Cake over Dadan? Any day!
I swear I've never seen such a blizzard before.
Zoro started setting up his bed for the night. I assumed I could go now.
Still, I've got to get home.
I headed for the door.
But Luffy! You'll freeze out there!
He called, walking after me.
Can I borrow your coat?
I asked, it was so warm earlier. So I didn't bring a coat, but the temperature dropped so much...
It's up to your chest out there!
He said, holding a hand up to his chest, I started laughing. Even though he just called me short, it was still funny.
Zoro, you're so funny!
I was laughing real hard, I grabbed Zoro's hand and we walked to the door.
Why do I feel so weird when you touch my hand?
He was blushing, he pulled his hand from mine and I sighed again.
But can't you see.
Zoro, why do you gotta be so stubborn!
Luffy! Stay! Please don't leave me!
He whined, tugging on my arm, he brought me back to the main part of the dojo.
I might get in trouble tomorrow.
I really didn't want to get in trouble!
I sure I would be filled with sorrow...
I watched Zoro, he looked sad... But it was snowing harder! I really had to go!
They'll keep me in and won't let me go outside.
I thought of all the trouble I'd get in. With Ace, and Sabo, and Dadan, and he Mayor, and Makino!
What if you got pneumonia and died!?
I thought about that. But that's impossible! What's pneumonia anyway? I bet he doesn't even know hoe to spell pneumonia.
But I really can't stay!
I said, AGAIN. He really doesn't get it does he?
Here! You can sleep in my bed with me!
I settled in next to Zoro, I watched the snow outside and sighed. I started drifting off into sleep.
Oh, But it's cold outside!
I yawned and settled into sleep... geez, Zoro's so convincing sometimes.
