My Personal Cheerleader

Routine 11: Give me an E!

I awoke in a comfy bed and was highly confused. I tried to sit up, but my body refused; making me wince. I heard shifting before gazing over and peering into hazy brown eyes. They soon cleared and he shot up.

"Zoro!" He stated up with a smile and moved to hug me. I hissed at the pressure and he backed away. "Oh, sorry!" He stated, but I wrapped my arms around him. "Zoro?"

"They haven't touched you, have they?" I asked out as I kept him to me.

"No… they are actually suspended from school for two months." He told me and I let him pull away. His hand grasped my cheek as he looked like he was about to cry. "I was so worried about you!" He told me and let out a hiccup as he refused to cry. "Why didn't you tell me they were targeting you like that? I should have seen it!" He gripped my hand as he put his head onto my chest.

"They were targeting you; I'm just in the way." I told him and he looked up at me. I cupped his cheek with a smile. "I'm just so glad you're okay." The tears broke loose and he began to cry as he hugged me and cried into my chest.

"I was so worried! Seeing you, ngh, like that!" He sobbed out and tried to talk but it was becoming slurred and I began shushing him.

"It's okay. They can't completely defeat me. Who would protect you then?" I asked him and he pulled away to look at me. I cupped his cheek and wiped a tear away with a smile. "Don't worry about it…" I told him before humming out with a smirk. "So, nurse Luffy, what's on the menu for today? I am quite hungry!" He punched my arm and I hissed at the infliction, but couldn't help myself from chuckling.

"Actually, cook Saga has brought you something." I looked over to see a certain grin appear on a familiar face. "I named off each of them." He told me and I shook my head with a chuckle. I began to sit up, with Luffy putting pillows behind my back, and fully relaxed upward.

"What's for eats, Cook Saga?" I asked out and a tray was set down.

"Tomato soup with crackers; perfect for a man who hasn't eaten in a day." He told me and I chuckled out before letting my hand ruffle brown hair as I felt the worry eyes on me.

"Luffy, I'm fine." I informed him and received a pout in return.

"Don't make me hand feed you!" He pointed a daring finger and I stopped my hand from picking up my spoon.

"Oh, please, nurse, feed me!" I smirked at him as he flushed red before punching my shoulder.

"Feed yourself! Or have Saga do it!" He got up with a pout and crossed his arms before walking out. "I'm going to call the girls, because they asked about you earlier at school!" He left the room and I chuckled out as I knew he was trying not to show his flustered side.

"You want me to hand feed you?" I looked to wiggling eyebrows and snorted at him.

"My hands suddenly can work again." I told him and began to eat the soup.

"Uh-huh…" His reply signified his humor before sitting in the chair by… my bed.

"Moved me to my house?" I asked him as I carefully ate my soup as it was hot.

"We did this morning, seeing it more fit." A hand rose as he was looking at his nails before picking at one. "He was so worried about you, but I got him to go to school. I later called the school to report what was going on, though Luffy told them mostly. He even went up to each jock; not knowing who exactly did it, and slapped each of them in the face." I covered my mouth as I stopped my shock and laugh.

"Did he get in trouble?"

"No, the school claimed it as crime of passion for a friend before saying he should go home." I nodded in understanding before slurping the soup down. I put the bowl back down and received a curious gaze. "I gotta know something."

"What's that?" I asked him with a look of my own curiosity.

"Luffy's neck," his finger lined his own, "I got to know if you gave him those." Shock went through me as I wasn't sure what to say.

"When did you see them?" My hand went to my neck as I rubbed at it.

"When I took him to his house when you told me to." An eyebrow rose at me and I let my gaze turn away. "It was you?" Surprised eyebrows went up and I coughed lightly as I thought Luffy covered them up well. "Oh my god! When were you going to tell me that you and Luffy have a th-?"

"Because we don't have a thing. Hell, I don't even know what to think, Saga." I told him truthfully before letting my head go back against the wall. My hand set onto my face as I groaned out. "I don't know… I have been thinking about it so much."

"How does he feel?" Saga asked me and I rolled my head to gaze at him.

"I don't know… I haven't asked him about it. We kind of swerve the topic every time we come close to it. I have never been so confused in my life." Another groan left my mouth as I recovered my face. I think he got the message that I didn't want to talk about it.

"Well, I will go put this in the kitchen." He told me before taking the tray away from my lap.

I didn't watch him leave the room, but I heard him leave and shut the door. I smacked my fist into the bed before tearing off the sheets. I sat on the edge and had to hold back a wince at my sudden movement. I growled at myself before standing up, with a light stammer, before going to my private bathroom and shutting the door.

"What is my deal?" I asked out as I let my body slide down the door as I sat on the floor.

I was not in the mood to talk anymore and I couldn't even decide things myself. I let my hands cover my face in frustration. I tried not to open my wounds from my tension that took over my body by anger. A deep huff of breath left me as I could not believe this. I had never found myself get stuck on such a serious matter, besides back then when I decided to leave that place. That decision was way easier than the one I have run across.

What did I feel about Luffy? How does my heart feel? What about my mind?

Questions stormed me like a hurricane and I shook my head. The thoughts swarmed and kept assaulting on my confused mind and heart. I never deeply thought about it, but Saga has brought it to my attention. He was right, I needed to know what Luffy felt, but I don't want to ask. We challenged each other. I know I felt some passion in it, but was it real?

My fist hit the cabinet and luckily didn't break it. My body shook in anguish as my wounds were strained by their bandages. My other hand gripped my hair aggressively as I let out a shuddered breath. My mind wouldn't calm and my muscles wouldn't relax. My frustration built on as I needed to figure this out, but my mind would chase the thought away when I tried.

"Zoro?" I heard a soft voice and groaned out at the timing. "You okay?" I could hear his feet stop by the door and I tried to calm my frustrated mind.

"I'm fine." I spoke out and grunted as my hand instinctively grabbed my side. My head throbbed at the spot I was hit and my senses slowly came out of their shock. I could feel every wound on my body begin to throb at me. I hissed at the pain and the knob wiggled.

"Are you sure?" I was asked out and my hand gripped at my head. Was I even sure on anything anymore?

"I don't know…" I responded and he began pushing on the door. He was strong enough to push it open with me on it before slipping in. He crouched next to me as the door slowly closed by my body as I leaned against it.

"Why did you get up?" A frantic tone came out of him and I let my gaze stay straight forward and away from him.

"I don't know anymore, Luffy. I don't want to think about it." His hand grasped my shoulder lightly as he soon sat on his knees. Arms found my chest and I let him lean against me as my hands fell to the cold tile.

"I don't know what's going on, but I'm here for you, Zoro." I closed my eyes and soon found myself listening to his breathing. He was calm, but once in a while you could hear his frantic heartbeat. His head rested against my chest and I realized his breath was felt on my collarbone. His skin felt so smooth against mine and I soon felt some type of bliss take over my mind. I let my uneasy body and mind fall asleep.
