Day 17: Swollen
I can only think of Chopper here, don't ask why
The Straw Hats had gotten into another fight but then again that was a common occurrence. What was less common were the bruises on Chopper's cheeks. One of the marines had decided he was just too cute, and had pulled his cheeks like a baby until they were swollen. As such, he was getting extra sympathy. So naturally Chopper was going to abuse the hell out of his ability.
"Ne, Sanji."
"Yes?"
"Can I have some ice-cream? It helps reduce the swelling," he said, trying to sound as innocent as possible.
"Sure, what flavour?"
"Cotton candy!"
"Coming right up, wait just one minute," the self-proclaimed chef said. Chopper walked outside with a grin on his face to wait for his ice cream.
Chopper returned outside with a much larger grin on his face. Sanji's ice-cream had, of course, been delicious and he was thoroughly enjoying the sympathy. He saw Zoro sleeping on deck. The idiot had taken his bandages off. Again. He shouldn't really be surprised by it anymore.
"Zoro? Zoro?" He called, then proceded to jumping on the sleeping swordsman.
"Huh? Morning already?" He said, somewhat incoherently, before realising where he was and who had just jumped on him. "Oh damn!"
"Yes 'oh damn' indeed. Zoro, don't take your bandages off! You could be permanently injured!" Zoro looked like he had just been punched with cuteness. Chopper inwardly smirked. A victory for him. He walked off again.
Chopper didn't see Zoro take the bandages off again until he had declared him well enough to do so.
Chopper pulled the injured card again during dinner. Luffy had been about to rob his plate of all food, when he pulled the biggest puppy-dog eyes seen by man at his captain.
"Luffy, don't steal my food. I need as much as I can get here!" To his (he hadn't actually expected it to work) and everyone else's surprise, Luffy kept away from his plate, instead stealing from Zoro's.
Ah yes, being injured could sometimes be a bonus.
Hey folks! This was supposed to be published before my little holiday, but there wasn't enough time, hope you didn't miss me! I didn't get as much done as I hoped, so this story will probably continue on through November...
Reviews always appreciated!
