Lemon warning.
Chapter 28- back to normal
I wake to the sunlight shining bright through the window of the infirmary. I swing my legs over the side of the bed, grabbing a set of crutches from the wall next to me so that I can move with my wounded leg. I slowly make my way out onto deck, the bright sunlight hurting my eyes as they start to adjust. I look out at my nakama who are spread out across the deck enjoying the sun. Some wear bandages as reminders that not too long ago they were in one of the hardest battles of their lives.
I hobble down the stairs on the deck, careful to avoid the gash where Rion's sword broke the stairs. "Rena its good to see you up," my nakama call as I seat myself at the table with Robin and Nami. Sanji comes whizzing over, offering me refreshments which I gratefully accept. Zoro comes up beside me and stares at me intensely for a moment, before attacking me with a hug so strong I struggle to breathe. "Zoro.. can't breathe," he releases me and kisses my forehead.
"I'm glad you're okay," he says quietly. I smile at him and take his hand in mine, rubbing small circles on his knuckle.
"Rena-san, you're so strong you took out the queen of the elves," Sanji fawns over me. I brush off his compliment.
"Rena you shouldn't be out of bed, that's a serious leg wound," Chopper panics as he comes over to me. Much to my protests he insists that I have to go and lie down and that I shouldn't be walking around until he gives me the all clear.
"Okay doc, I'll make sure she rests," Zoro says, picking me up and taking me back to my bedroom, lying me down on the bed. I pout at him and he chuckles. "You need to get better okay?" I don't reply I just grip the back of his neck with my hand and pull his face down towards mine until our lips touch. I kiss him passionately, pulling his hand so that he comes to sit on the bed with me.
He pulls back chuckling, "oi oi, that's not resting." I smirk and pulls his lips back to mine. I pull back and push his chest down so that he's lying on the bed. Resting my head on his arm and tracing patterns on his chest in front of me. He pulls his arms tightly around me, holding me close. "I love you," he whispers rubbing circles on my shoulder.
"I love you too," I say back quietly looking up into his eye and smiling. He smiles back. A soft smile that makes me feel all warm inside.
"You had me worried earlier you know, when you were fighting Rion," he says tugging me a little closer.
"You didn't need to worry about me, I was fine wasn't I?" smiling up at him, trying to relax him.
"For a second there I thought you gave up," he pushes. I duck my gaze and refuse to make eye contact, feeling ashamed of myself.
"I did," I barely whisper but I know he heard me as his arms tighten and he pulls my chin up so that I have to look at him.
"Promise me you'll never do that again," he grips my chin tightly and stares harshly into my face, not taking no for an answer.
"I promise," I say quietly, not planning on giving up again anyway. He kisses me gently and then cuddles me into his chest, quickly falling asleep and snoring loudly. I join him in a little nap.
When I wake I try to tug myself out of Zoro's iron grip unsuccessfully. I flop back onto his chest and turn so that I can see his face. I trail my fingertips of his features,brushing across his hair and his cheeks, the sharp bridge of his nose and his strong forehead that frowns as he grumbles, "stop it that tickles." I quickly trail my fingers down the side of his face and come to rest them on his chin.
I grip his chin and hold his face still as I gently press my lips against his. His lips respond with force, gripping onto my lips and knotting his fingers in my hair. I moan at his actions, feeling him press the lines of his body against mine. He slips his tongue into my mouth, playing roughly for someone who just woke up. His hand unknots from my hair and slides all the way down my body firmly, making me shiver. He grips my thigh roughly and goes to lift it up to his waist but he stops dead still. I pull back from his unresponsive lips and look at him questioningly.
"Sorry I forgot about your thigh wound," he says letting go of my leg. I lift it up to his waist on my own, pressing my lips back against his wordlessly. He seems a little hesitant as I try to pick up where we were. His hand grips my ass but his lips are still gentle. I moan at the touch and his lips move a little harder. He breaks away and his lips kiss and suck down my neck, but his hands hold me loosely. I feel his brain trying to decide what to do, which part of him should give in.
"Zoro…" he grunts as I use his name, the sound almost pleading, "show me that you love me." My voice quiet but as soon as the words leave my lips he bites down on my sweet spot and I let out a startled groan. His hands now grip me tight, holding me close. He fiddles with the hem of my shirt before yanking it over my head. His lips joining mine as soon as they were free from the fabric. His tongue joins a wild, passionate battle for dominance. My hands work to clear his chest from fabric, running my hands over the taut skin that stretches across his thick muscles. His hands caress my chest having popped the bra open and tossed it aside. His hands massage my flesh, tugging a little at my sensitive nipples.
He breaks away from our kiss as he pushes the waistband of my trousers down, giving a little nibble at my nipples. My voice seems unstoppable as his actions drive me crazy, almost constant moans leaving my mouth. As his hand touches my already throbbing clit, a little squeak escapes my lips. He rubs his hands against my labia and smirks up at me, his voice husky as he says, "you're already so wet mmmmm." He brings his mouth down, starting with some licking and sucking, before nipping at my labia. My hand pushes my damp hair off my sweaty face as my body arches. One hand slides in and out of me as the other strokes my body, alternating between my stomach, my hips and my breasts. My eyes close as I revel in the feeling, my whole body alive. I push my hand through his soft green hair, gripping and tugging sharply when he hits a good spot.
He moves faster, curling his fingers to hit the right spot, using my reactions as indications on where to go. When he finds the spot that makes my eyes pop he hits it repeatedly, picking up the pace. Faster and faster and faster until I come on his fingers, my walls clenching tight. He licks my juices and cleans his hands. My breath is so loud it would be embarrassing were it not Zoro in front of me. He smirks at me lying limp on the bed.
"Come on Rena we're not done yet," he teases as I try to catch my breath. I sit, still panting a little, and pull down his trousers and his boxers. His throbbing cock exposed to me making me smirk as I take it in my mouth sucking on it a little. After a few short moments he pulls his cock out of my mouth and starts to line himself up with my entrance. He touches my wounded leg lightly, looking at it with a frown. "Are you sure this is okay?" he says quietly, an oddly thoughtful look on his face.
"Yes, Zoro, just please fuck me," I almost blush as the words leave my mouth. He slides in slowly and I let out a long, long moan. He moves back and forth slowly for a while before starting to speed up slightly. I pull him down so I can kiss his lips feverishly. One finger rubs against my clit as he moves in and out. My moaning suddenly making kissing impossible. He moves his hands from my clit to my hip, using it to enter me harder and deeper. My moaning doesn't slow, no matter how much I bite my lip. He swoops down and tugs at my lower lip himself. Zoro sits up smirking.
He leans back thrusting hard and fast, gripping my hips tight to keep them in place. "Shit" he grunts seductively. The sound of his voice pushes me over the edge suddenly and I come hard, clamping my walls down tight around his member. The sudden tightness and friction makes him twitch and spill his liquids out into me. He bends over and plants a long kiss on my lips, before rolling off me and pulling me against his side. We both pant heavily.
I look up at him and can't help grinning as I meet his eyes. We laugh together at nothing, pushing our foreheads together and still breathing heavily. "I'm the luckiest girl alive," I say as I try to regain my breath. He hmms and leans in for another kiss.
We're disturbed when Chopper walks in for my check up. His eyes bulge out of his face as he sees our naked bodies tangled together and he runs out the room. "Oops," I say wincing at Chopper's reaction.
"Don't worry about him, he's a big boy he can handle it," Zoro mumbles as he presses himself into my neck.
"I feel bad, he's so innocent," I say still staring at the empty doorway.
"Don't," he whispers tugging on my earlobe. I let out a ragged breath before pushing away from Zoro and trying to find my clothes.
Zoro sighs but helps me dress and carries me out onto the deck where the crew comfort a disturbed Chopper. "Sorry Chopper," I call, but I'm still met with a few accusing glares.
"It's okay Rena, it was just a shock," he says as he transforms into his large form and lifts me from Zoro's arms so he can take me to the infirmary and treat me.
After my check up from Chopper I return to the deck, using crutches to help me. When reach the deck, I smile at the normality of things. Zoro trains in the corner, watching me out of the corner of his eye, Sanji flusters around Nami and Robin who are lounging around in the warm sun. Luffy and Usopp are playing some sort of game which Chopper quickly gets caught up in and is whisked away. Brook drinks his tea as he watches the others play and Franky is speedily building some new invention.
I take a seat beside Brook and gladly accept a cup of tea when he offers. "How are you Rena?" He asks as he takes a sip of his tea.
"I'm doing well, healing fast," I say as I watch Luffy fall face first into the floor of the deck.
"I bet you're happy, I hear you've been having a lot of fun with Zoro," he chuckles at his own innuendo. I nudge him with my elbow in playful fake offence.
"You're just jealous."
"I am yes, you are a beautiful lady and I always hoped one day to see your panties."
"Is that your version of romance?" I tease.
"Oh Rena-san, you wound me, yohohoho," he laughs at himself.
"I'm sorry," I say quietly after a moment of silence.
"No its fine Rena-san I didn't really take offense," Brook objects.
"Not about that, about everything. You all helped me even though I brought this trouble for you." Saying the words makes the anger that I feel for myself grow. I'm practically shouting by the end of my sentence.
The crew stops what they're doing and turn to look at me, completely stunned. Luffy breaks the silence by laughing cheerfully. I look up at him, my rage growing.
"Shishishi, don't worry Rena we're happy to help, after all we're nakama," Luffy's words shock me and I look at the smiling faces of my nakama.
"He's right, besides, Luffy has helped all of us at some point," Nami reassures me.
"I'd do anything to have more adventures with my friends," Luffy cheers.
"Thank you," I say finally letting the tears come, "thank you all so much."
"You don't need to thank us, let's just keep having fun okay?!" I nod, sniffling. Luffy's right all that is in the past now. All that matters is going on adventures with my friends.
"YOSH TIME FOR A NEW ADVENTURE!"
That's the end. I'm kind of relieved to have this finished. I'll confess that even though I wrote a lot of stories when I was younger, this is the first one I have completely finished. I'm sad to see Rena go, I get so attached to my characters. I thought about doing a sequel to this fic and I have a few ideas but I'm definitely going to give it a break for a little while anyway.
I have been working on a new story that I'm really proud of and I'm really enjoying writing and I can't wait to share. It's kind of an AU and is Zoro x oc which you may have guessed is my favourite ship. If you are interested, I will hopefully be posting the first chapter soon.
Anyway, thank you so much for reading, I hope you enjoyed this story and I hope to see you again. ^.^
