I promised I would not kill Shanks guys! Love him too much :) His perfect for Zoro.
Zoro's ears were filled with the monotone beeping of the heart monitor as Shanks lay in bed. He had to receive help breathing from the machine Chopper had got Franky to make. His hand held Shanks' tightly as his head rested on the bed.
"Don't die," Zoro whispered as Chopper removed his gloves. Zoro looked up at Chopper who was now washing his hands, "will he be alright?"
Chopper shook his head silently. He was weary and upset. He had thought that after all those years spent educating himself about medicine, he would become a better doctor, but now he was unable to save this man's life. He tried to keep his composure as he explained the situation to Zoro.
"I mentioned from the start that there was nothing I was able to do," Chopper said, "that all I could do was prolong his life with some basic treatment. Well, his body is fighting against both the poison and the treatment now. This was triggered by pressure and strain put on his body. There is a possibility he engaged in some pretty rough exercise."
Chopper watched as Zoro's face turn red. He seemed to know exactly what kind of rough exercise Shanks had gone through. He cleared his throat, "please, continue."
Ignoring Zoro's unusual behaviour, he did so, "due to this, the poison has started to spread and unless if we receive the name of the plant and the antidote, he will die in less than a week. He will be lucky if he lasts two days."
Chopper's voice trailed off as he ran out the room. Zoro held Shanks' hand a little tighter. The door opened and Mihawk walked in. Zoro grunted and he got knocked out before he could say a word. Mihawk carried Zoro's lifeless body to the chair nearby and lay him there. He put him in a comfortable position and stared at the guy, "you deserve so much better Roronoa."
He ran his hair through Zoro's hair and planted a kiss on his forehead, rather paternally. He then went through the room looking for the equipment he needed. After covering his head and body with some protective gear, he removed the blanket covering Shanks as well as his bandages, "remember the first time I treated your wounds Red hair."
Smiling, he opened the stitches Chopper had put on him and he began to drain both the treatment and poison out of him, "it was that time we had our first duel. You were ever so vivacious and I got mad at you, thinking you were not taking me seriously. The whole time we were fighting, you were laughing. I assumed you were mocking me. It had been a friendly match, but I ended up leaving a cut on the hand you ended up losing."
He pulled out the bottle that had the medicine and administered it to him, "all you did was laugh it off. Even when our relationship ended, you just smiled the same old annoying smile you wear so well. I just wish that you could feel for me the way I feel for you...Shanks."
After stitching up his wounds and re-bandaging him, he cleared everything and left the room without saying another word. He looked at Shanks one last time before retiring to his room.
Robin yawned as she got ready to sleep. She closed her book and smiled, "Hawkeye Mihawk. He has been acting out of character ever since he came here. He seems to be a man who speaks so highly of pride, but he seems to have discarded his pride in the name of love. I never would have imagined. It certainly has been an interesting turn of events. To think both Mihawk and Zoro loved Shanks all this time. I cannot wait to see what happens."
An ear bloomed in Sanji and Luffy's room. She knew that Luffy had something to say about Shanks' health.
She heard plates cluttering around. That must be Sanji.
"Sorry Luffy," she heard Sanji say, "...but I had to do it."
