A week after his chat with Robin, Chopper found himself in the bathroom once again. Like last time, he stood staring at himself in the mirror. He pressed his face up against the mirror, as if hoping a close up would give him an idea of what he wasn't seeing. Cute. That is he saw. Cute. And not the cute kind that made you wants to date someone. The cute kind that made you wants to pick them up and cuddle with them. The stuffed animal kind of cute, he was the stuffed animal cute.
If they weren't running from him and calling him a monster, they were picking him up and screaming about how kawaii he was. Not that being this type of cute was all bad. After all, it was the female species that tended to pick him up. And they tended to cuddle him to their breasts. This might have excited him more if he was Sanji. But he wasn't Sanji, so instead this just embarrassed him and he would insult them and shake his butt like usual. This earned him more coos and excited shouts of kawaii, more cuddles.
So he took to just watching the ship. He enjoyed the attention, but it just seemed to push into him more and more that he was the only one of his kind and that his chances at romance were very slim. Yet Robin's words had hit a nerve. "There is someone for everyone." Did that mean there was someone out there for him as well? Did that mean Robin was for him? She was a mysterious person and perhaps that was her way at hinting at him. He groaned in frustration. Somehow he doubted that she wanted him. After all she was brace and mature. And he was a scaredy cat and not as mature. She would never go for him right?
His skin underneath his hair flushed to light pink as he thought of what it would be like to be with Robin. If she did want him, would he ever be able to live up to her standards? What were her standards? Perhaps her standards were low. They had to be if she liked him. But still what if she did? Should he make the first move? Or should he wait for her to do so? He grabbed at his head in confusion. He was still so young. And this was all new to him. He needed advice. And there was only one person to go for on advice.
Ten minutes later he found himself standing outside the kitchen door, shaking with nervousness. You are only talking to Sanji. Not Robin. And he won't be the one who would turn you down or break your heart. You are just going to him for advice. You don't even need to tell him it is Robin. The reindeer groaned to himself. Then taking a deep breath pushed the door open.
Wow that was really short. Sorry for the short chapter! This is all I can push out on this one right now. Next chapter will be longer I promise! I still do not know if Chopper will actually get with Robin. ChopperxRobin is not actually one of my favoured pairings. I prefer UsoppxChopper. But this story will not go in that direction. Actually this story might end with Chopper not having anyone. We will see. Feel free to give me ideas.
Yatchzee: Hints of CxR yes. But I don't know if it will turn out that way.
Wind Storm and Rain: I hope you are still into One Piece. And thank you for the comment! Hope you enjoyed this chapter.
Pier's girl: There are very few Chopper fics, so I had to write one. He is too kawaii.
Ruby: Heh…this is kinda similar to Beauty and the Beast. Maybe he will find another attack point that will turn him completely human so he can be with someone.
Sorry that this chapter was short (again) I will try and make the next chapter longer. And I am going to work on finish this one. Then I will move on to a Single Bullet probably. Unless an idea hits me for that. I can't believe it was as short as that. I apologize from the bottom of my heart. But at least a short chapter is better than no chapter right? (Don't eat me.)
