In A Heartbeat
AN: 3RD drabble... I made another one but it was lost. It was about Nami and Zoro in a party then going off for some alone time (pg rated :( ) should I rewrite it?
This one is Zoro's reaction to the kiss(es). Thanks for teh suggestion! This is after Alabasta(Arabasta?) but imagine it slightly AU in the regard that it's the night after they left and Robin isn't there...
Disclaimer: Nope, not mine. Christmas is coming up...
Zoro looked down at his swords. Unsheathing them, he saw the first rays of dawn reflect off of them. He knew he had two more hours.
In two hours, Sanji would begin cooking. In two hours, Usopp would check all parts of the ship for disrepair- he seemed to care for the ship more than the crew.
Zoro only had so much more time before she would wake and check the maps and log pose and everything.
Zoro's mind unfortunately began its train of thoughts leading directly to Nami.
That blasted witch. She would be the death of him. That piggy-back ride... He thought back to the incident.
"Nami!" He yelled. She was bleeding and limping. "What happened?"
With tears in her eyes she exclaimed,"I did it Zoro! I beat Miss Doublefinger! I won a fight!" Nami stumbled quickly over to Zoro and gave him a hug to his unwounded areas.
She brought out her clima-tact - now having knowledge of it- and blew a cool bubble to his wound, numbing it.
Zoro looked at her in confusion. She shrugged at him and smiled, an actual smile.
He couldn't help but smile back.
"We need to get to the others!" Zoro exclaimed, finally remembering.
"Okay let's go!" Nami yelled as she began to stumble.
Zoro went infront of her and leaned down. After a moment of nothing, Zoro said, "Get on my back. You'll slow me down on your own and..."
"And..." Nami prompted.
Sigh. "And I'll get lost without you."
Realizing he was right but still cautious of his injuries, she gingerly mounted his back. And he ran he could've sworn he heard a soft, "Thank you" but that couldn't have come from Nami...
He sighed. He crawled up into the crow's nest and began to polish his swords. That gave him a distraction...
No more than 30 minutes later, Zoro began to think of months ago when he and Nami had kissed. That was... electifying.
Zoro was ashamed of himself. He was swiftly falling for the navigator.
And at this moment, he didn't care to think of a reason why not to.
Keeping that in mind, he walked slowly to where Nami's room is. He saw the sun rising and knew she would be the first to come out for a shower.
True enough, she sleepily walked out of her room. Hair in disarray, no make-up, crinkled t-shirt that looked surprisingly like one of his and a pair of pajama pants.
"Good morning Nami." He called to her. A guy had to start small, ya know?
AN: Was that any good? Want me to rewrite it? How will I know if I don't get a review?
