Chapter 4- crushes?
As she ran up and hugged each of them, all of their reactions were different. First, she hugged the love cook, and he started the noodle dance and the whole ten yards, next she ran up and hugged Luffy, and he just stood there, not knowing what to do, she then moved on to Nami, who charged her money again, and Robin, who was the first one to hug back. She had even said you're welcome, because she already knew what was going on. When at last, she came to Zoro. When she hugged him, he just stood there, face monotone as usual. She unhugged him, and frowned at his unfeeling expression. He then frowned back at her, not knowing what she was thinking. Then suddenly, he walked off and climbed down the mast to what turned out to be the men's quarters. She wanted to follow him, but was unsure if a girl was allowed in the men's quarters. So she decided to not mess with that issue, and climbed up the mast instead and sat in the crow's nest again. A little later, an hour she thought, she heard creaking wood again, but it was a different noise, like someone was moving. She looked down, and saw some green hair ascending the mast. He was looking down, so she didn't see her, and she was short enough so you couldn't see her in the crow's nest either. Little did she know that he knew she was here. She got scared that he would be mad at her again, and crawled quietly to the other side, and curled up into the fetal position, but she was watching the spot where he would climb up into. When he got up to the top, he silently climbed into the crow's nest, looked around so he could see if anyone was close enough to hear, and started to speak.
"Hey, De-Ji. I wanted to apologize for seeming so cold earlier. I'm not totally emotionless, I just wanted to let you know." He said a little quietly. It was odd, he seemed nervous, and she was so surprised at this, she looked at him and said, "That's good to know…" she said carefully. He lifted his head up from its low position he had put it in, and looked directly into her green eyes. He sighed, and left the crows nest, making her alone again. She started to feel lonely right after he left, so she got up and ran to the other side of the crow's nest and called down, " Zoro, please stay with me, I don't want to be alone anymore." The patch of moss on his head looked up, and he smiled softly. She saw this, and smiled back, knowing that it must be rare for him to smile. As he started to climb up, she watched him move. His large muscles moved smoothly, almost gracefully. It was quite interesting to watch. When he reached the top, he climbed in and sat beside her. After a few minutes, he fell asleep and was starting to snore. De-Ji giggled, and leaned on his shoulder, and closed her eyes. It was a very comfortable position for both of them. He stopped snoring, but she still thought that he was asleep, but he opened an eye and looked down at her brown curly hair. He smiled softly again, and thought to himself, 'she is so beautiful…" and closed his eye and fell back asleep. She shifted her head minutely, just enough so she could see his face, and she thought to herself, 'he is a really nice guy, he just doesn't like to show it. He's very strong and handsome, too.' She then turned her head back, and fell asleep on his shoulder.
"LUNCH EVERYBODY!!" Sanji screamed, waking up De-Ji and Zoro. "MESHII--!" Luffy yelled, anxious for the midday meal. De-Ji and Zoro looked at each other, and blushed. Then hurriedly climbed down the mast to go eat. By the time they got down, they had stopped blushing, and everyone headed in to go eat lunch. The Lunch menu was tomato soup and grilled cheese sandwiches. A simple dinner, but a very good one. "wow, I haven't had this in such a long time! I love this stuff!" De-Ji exclaimed, and started sucking her food like a vacuum again. To everyone's surprise, Zoro walked in and sat by De-Ji. They all looked at each other strangely, and shrugged it off, thinking it was just a coincidence. De-Ji finished, and headed off toward the crow's nest. Zoro finished his food and left, but he closed the door so they wouldn't see that he went too.
