After about half an hour of hard riding, Prince Zoro and his knights reigned in their horses, approaching the gate. A loud shout sounded from Luffy for the guards to open the gate. and shortly after the group rode into the city.
Zoro looked down and the unconscious blond in his lap, glad to see the fairies chest slightly rising and falling with each breath. now he just needed to get him to Chopper, if anyone could get the blond fixed up it would be the small physician.
They rode into the stable to put up their horses and give the a well earned rest. Zoro rode midnight right into his stable, knowing it was going to be a bit of a endeavor to get off his horse with the blond still on his lap.
"Ace!" Zoro called out, A raven head peaked out from around the corner.
"Yes, Thy mightiness!" Said ace with a flourish.
"Can it hot head!" Zoro shouted back. "Come help me with this guy so I can get off my horse, and get him to chopper."
Ace did just that, and gently lifted the unconscious faerie off of Zoro's lap. "Wow," said ace in awe, "He's really light, I'd be surprised if he's over 100 lbs." Ace lifted the faerie a few times just to prove his point.
"Careful with him!" Zoro snapped as he finished putting up his horse. "I don't know how bad his injuries are. Here, I'm finished with midnight, let me take him." Zoro carefully wrapped his arms around the fae's injured body careful to avoid the injuries. Zoro settled in holding him bridal style, with the faerie's forehead resting gently against Zoro's neck.
Then began the long trek to chopper's room, Zoro had no idea why the little medics room was so hard to find, it took him almost an hour every time he needed to visit the little guy. Very impractical in his opinion, you should be able to find a doctor easily, but whatever. He looked down and the pale man in his arms.
'He really is quite beautiful.' Zoro thought to himself. The flaxen blond hair. The almost pure white skin that seemed to glow, even in the darkness of the castle. The long lean body. Zoro was sure that if this man were standing, he would be about as tall as Zoro. Quite an impressive feat in and off itself, considering Zoro himself is 6'1". Zoro continued his musings about the blond in his arms as he continued to wander around searching for chopper's office. As time went on he got more and more excited to see what the blond would be like once he awoke. He'd only met one other faerie before and she had become his best friend. Zoro secretly hoped this would be the same.
"ZORO!" He whipped around sharply, looking to see the owner of the voice. He sighed in relief when he saw the pink and blue hat and the little antlered form of the Royal physician walking up to him.
"Chopper!" Zoro said with a grin on his face. "I've been looking for you!"
"I know," answered the little guy. "Ace came and told me you had someone for me to see. You do know you're on the opposite side of the castle from my clinic, right?"
Zoro blushed lightly and turned his head, playing off his slight detour as chopper giggled up at him.
"OK, let's get back to my office so we can-Whoa! Is that a faerie!?" Chopper practically shouted and he danced around Zoro's legs, finally noticing the shimmering gossamer wings that brushed lightly against Zoro's legs.
"Yeah, I found him in the forest, he's hurt pretty bad, but I'm sure the bast doctor in Kuraigana can fix him up" Zoro said with a wink.
"**** That doesn't make me happy at all." said Chopper as he skipped down the hallway with a blush glowing through the fur on his little cheeks. "My office is this way you ****."
Zoro chuckled and followed him, he couldn't help the smile on his face. He thought of the little guy as a brother. They talked as they walked, Chopper was talking about some sort of new medicine he was developing and used a lot of terms the flew right over Zoro's head, but he was happy to see the little guy so happy so he bore with it. Zoro talked a bit about his hunt. and within minutes they arrived at chopper's office.
"OK, lay him on that bed, careful with his wings." Chopper said as he started scurrying around, washing his hooves, grabbing different vials and and other medical stuff. Zoro carefully laid the blond on the cot on his side with his injured leg up and his crumpled wing out behind him.
He lightly traced the curl of the fairies eyebrow with his finger and a smirk as he pulled away.
"You need any other help or do you have it handled?" Zoro turned and asked the busy doctor.
"I thing I've got it, but thank you Zoro." Said chopper as he set a little tray on a nearby table.
"OK." Zoro said with a yawn, "I'm gonna go take a nap, wake me when you finish."
Zoro turned and walked toward the door, knowing the little doctor heard him despite the lack of an answer. He stretched his arms up and rested them on his head as he turned and walked toward the courtyard. A nap in the sunshine sounded like a perfect way to wait for the doctor to finish up with his new faerie friend.
