The Plushie Bandit: Dis ish for u Plushie-chan! hugz
Everywhere
Zoro saw Sanji and Usopp everywhere together. Not reallydoing anything. But they were there.
Sometimes he'd just see them talking.
Sometimes he'd see them just sitting next to each other, silent but happy. The crazy smiles were a big clue.
One time he saw them holding hands.
Sometimes he wondered why they were even together. They don't match. They weren't alike. And they weren't opposites. So what kept them together? How come he always saw them together everywhere? This pissed Zoro off like nothing else. With Luffy trailing behind him, he stomped into the cabin to think.
Why was this bothering him anyway? So what if it didn't make sense. He should get on with his life and ignore everything he saw and felt that night. But he couldn't, and knew it.
Seeing Sanji's arm tighten minutely around the sniper when he approached had filled his chest with something. Usopp had peered over Sanji's shoulder and gazed at him with glazed eyes, black hair unbound. That too, intensified the feeling. Noticing that he intruded on a private moment, he left with a small remark before…before…before what?
Zoro picked up Luffy's hand and idly started flexing the fingers while Luffy giggled and complained that it tickled. He saw them everywhere. And it made him ache inside. And he didn't know why. It was ok at first, but then it started messing with his daily schedule. He couldn't turn without them there. The ache grew bigger and soon it hurt to see them together. The cook and the marksmen.
Nothing in common. But always together. It didn't make any fucking sense.
A few days past and as the couple grew more bold with their affections, Zoro grew more irritated.
It wasn't until Nami took him aside after dinner that truly understood.
"I don't want you to hurt him. You better be serious about this." The red head said quietly. Zoro lifted his eyebrow. "I have no idea what you're talking about" Honey eyes glared hole in his head. "I'm talking about Luffy! You're always together yet you have nothing in common. I don't understand it, but I assume you're serious about your relationship. Cause if not I suggest you get off this ship."
The swordsman blinked. Then blinked again. A relationship? "Relationship? Luffy's my nakama. My captain. My friend. What other relationship is there?" The beautiful thief (Laughs) shook her head and chuckled. "You don't even have a clue do you? And all this time I was…" she stopped, and Zoro silently hoped she'd finished but she shook her head again and waved him off, saying she needed sleep.
The green haired man stood alone. He turned around and looked through the open kitchen window to see Sanji and Usopp silently washing dishes. No talking, no smiling, just washing. But together. Always together. It was then that Zoro began to think that maybe he was jealous. He scoffed at the idea but it seemed as logical as everything else in the world.
But of what? He knew he wasn't jealous of Sanji. Usopp was…Usopp, enough said. Definitely not of Usopp. Although he and Sanji were major polar opposites, they'd never get along and kill each other eventually.
As he mulled over his jealousy theory he noted with a start that they had stopped moving. The blonde and the dark haired boy weren't moving. Two pairs of hands submerged in the soapy water. Zoro could practically see their fingers intertwined in the murky dishwater. Zoro's eye twitched in obvious agitation.
You're always together yet you have nothing in common
And then Zoro understood.
I don't understand it
But I do, Nami. Hearing his named being called he turned around and saw the straw hat captain zooming his way.
"Zoro! Come play with me. I'm bored and I'm sleepy yet"
"Sure"
After a few games of Go Fish and Hangman Zoro asked Luffy a question. Just to make sure he was right...
"Luffy. What is it that you… feel when you're around me? I understand that we're nakama but I can't help feel that there's something more."
The swordsman watched in amusement as a small blush gifted Luffy's cheeks as he smiled.
"I don't know Zoro! I know we have different views on some things. And although we get along, we have many misunderstandings too. I feel this…something when I'm with you and I like it. I just know that…"
Here Luffy's smile grew and he stared into Zoro's eyes.
"I want to be everywhere you are"
End
Did this make sense? Cuz it's like. Zoro feels JEALOUS. But not of Sanji or Usopp. But of wat they share. But it's so HARD to put it that way. At least for me. Bah. This fic is total crap and I love it. XD chp 2 ish comming up as soon as i feel like it...
