Special thanks to Red Voident Dragon for the idea, though the focus is slightly different. This is set after Usopp comes back to the crew. Luffy and Usopp made up nicely, but during that arc Luffy definitely had to go through a certain kind of psychological pressure he never dealt with before. This is Luffy and Zoro in the crow's nest, with Luffy searching for comfort. As there is only the two of them, both are more relaxed which may seem OOC.

"Zoro!"

"Luffy, why-stop worming your way in here! It's cramped enough as it is."

"It's your turn on watch and I wanted to keep you company."

"Go keep Usopp company."

"Usopp isn't you."

"…You're being picky. This isn't good."

"What do you mean?"

"Your being picky never ends well for me. Don't widen your eyes in surprise and think about it. You pick me for rocketing first and I always end up with a concussion."

"But I always say I'm sorry don't I?"

"Well after the first 150 times, I decided being sorry doesn't cut it."

"Zoro's being mean!"

"No I'm not."

"Yes you are."

"No I'm not!"

"…."

"…."

"…."

"…Fine. I'm being mean and I'm sorry okay? Quit pouting and tell me what's bothering you."

"…I'm not bothered."

"If you were hungry you'd whine to the love cook. If you were bored you'd have went to Usopp. If you were curious about something you would have found Nami or Robin. If you'd been hurt, you would search for Chopper. But you're here."

"….I had to make a decision."

If you want to leave this ship behind, then leave me behind too!

"…."

"I chose the person who would never make me choose."
