The door to the kitchen bursts open suddenly.
"Oi-! We're back!" Luffy comes in, holding several large bags of food, mainly meat. Luffy dumps the bags on the table and moves out of the way for Sanji.
"When will dinner be ready?" Luffy asks excitably.
"We just got back." Said Sanji, giving Luffy a strained look as he set the bags he was carrying on the table. Sanji throws a worried glance at you, and then at Zoro.
"Zoro, did you do something to [Name]-chan?"
"No, no. I just didn't sleep well last night." You say quickly, cutting off Zoro's irritated retort. You didn't feel like even witnessing a squabble between the two of them, despite the inevitability of it.
After dinner, you went to bed early, hoping that would help with your strange dreams.
You awoke from a good night's sleep to the early morning sunlight shining into your room. You lay in your bed for a bit, enjoying the cozy warmth, when the door opened suddenly. The sun's golden light outlined Zoro's muscular figure, and he leaned on the door frame, obviously looking at you. You move over, and Zoro climbed in next to you. It was at this point that you realized he was not wearing anything, and neither were you.
You bolt upright and throw the blankets off, planning on going straight to Chopper. However, by the time you'd stepped out onto the deck, you realize that was a bad idea. You notice light from the kitchen spilling out over the deck, and decide to go see who was awake.
You stop in front of the door, hearing voices inside.
"...-ever thought you'd come to me! You're such an idiot you can't even figure out if you like a girl!" You recognize Sanji's voice, and with a quick glance inside you confirm that he was talking to Zoro. You didn't catch Zoro's obviously irritated reply. The sinking feeling in your chest told you everything you ever needed to know. You were in love with him, and chances were, he was in love with someone else.
"You have to show her your lo-o-ove, and call her, [Name]-chan, [Name]-chaaan~!"
"Quit shouting, you shit-headed cook!" Snarled Zoro viciously. You lean up against the wall, dumbstruck and obviously proven wrong. Your face was burning, and you pressed your knees together to keep them from shaking. You stagger, almost drunkenly, down the stairs and back into your own bed.
You sleep surprisingly well, until you're woken bright and early by Luffy's shouts of an adventure.
"No adventures today..." Groans Nami, pulling her pillow over her head. "Please, none." You got up and dressed without a word, and step out to confront Luffy. He was about to jump off of Merry's bow onto the beach. "Wait, Luffy! Where are you going?" "Huh? [Name]?" He stopped and turned to face you, and then triumphantly placed his hands on his hips. "We're going on an adventure." He glanced upward at the crow's nest. "Zor-o-o-o-! Let's go on an adventure!" Luffy returned his excited gaze to you. "Is Nami and Robin awake?"
"I-It would be 'Are...' And I don't think they want to go on an adventure today. Robin seemed pretty tired..."
"What about you? You'll come, right?" You shake your head.
"I was going to train today."
"But adventures are like training!" He pouts, but you refuse. Eventually Luffy had wrangled all of the boys into going with him. Sanji barely had time to cook breakfast and pack lunches for everyone before Luffy decided it was time to leave.
Robin came out of the room several hours after they'd left. "The sun will be setting soon." She said.
"Should we look for them?" You ask.
"We could at least go into town and see what they've been up to." You agree. Nami decides to stay with the ship whilst you and Robin head into town.
