~ Zoro's POV ~

I don't know what happened.. we were fighting, right? How did things end up like this? I felt a sharp pain in the back of my neck like someone hit me or something? And now our lips were touching each other.

His expression was priceless. When I was shoved into him, his eyes widened ever so slightly. We both of us just stood there, why wasn't he pulling away!? I thought he hated me? By now I figured my face would be smashed into the floor from one of his kicks.

Our lips separated and I took a step away from him letting my thoughts run wild with the feeling of his soft lips, I felt a slight blush creep across my face. I glanced in Sanji's direction, his face was bright red and his hand was hovering over his lips.

I couldn't help to stare at the adorable sight in front of me. "W-what the hell is wrong with you.." he started, rubbing his hand on his lips.

Wha-what the hell is going on why is my heart beating so fast?

"Look it wasn't my fault okay? Look just forget it ever happened, alright." I turned around, I didn't expect everyone on the ship to be staring at us.

"Shit." We both mumbled under our breaths, I wasn't planning on the whole crew being right behind us. Without, a word Sanji darted towards the kitchen I for one wasn't going to stop him, on his way he passed the startled Nami.

No one on the ship uttered a word, everyone just watched Sanji walk into the kitchen and slam the door behind him. Then turned their attention to Zoro who was now sitting under the flag once again.

After a few seconds of silence, Zoro broke it, "No one speaks about this again, understood?"

Some of them nodded and they all went back to their normal day. My heart was still beating like crazy, the feeling of those soft lips was driving me insane.

That's all I could think about, If it was just us, and no one else around then maybe it could have lasted a little while longer, how far would I have taken it?

I let out a little sigh to break the train of thought. I stood up and started making my way to the crow's nest to get my mind off of what had happened.

Luffy was swinging on the flag pole looking out for any sighting of land, Robin was reading her book.. and no one else was on the deck?

It was too quiet, way too quiet. I climbed the latter and got right to training, tossing my shirt before anything.

Something felt weird, something just wasn't right. I dropped my weight which made a loud crash sound that everyone on the ship could have heard. I dropped down to my knees and started having a coughing fit, I can't breathe!? Why, what's going on!?

After a few seconds, he started coughing of blood, and mixed with the blood was a sight he never thought he would see, mixed in with his blood were small flower petals

His eyes widened, he now understood what his problem was. He never believed that the disease was real, and he was certain that it was a myth just a hoax to scare people. However, he could no longer say that anymore there was undeniable proof. He was coughing up the beautiful red flowers doused in his blood.

"What happened are you okay!?" His eyes focused on the latter he eyes were a little watery from all of the coughing. He could see Nami peaking her head up she looked concerned.

"I heard a loud crash, are you alright up here?" She asked her voice was filled with worry and confusion.

I clutched the flower petals in my hand.

I glanced at her, trying not to lose my composure. I can beat this, I don't need anyone's help I'll figure it out some way or another. I slid my hand behind my back and held back the urge to cough. Maybe I should tell her, maybe she could help in some way?

It took a few seconds to reassure himself that he wasn't going to cough up anything while he was talking. He looked her right in her large brown eyes.

"I'm fine." He stood slowly, she gave him a nod but something still didn't sit right with her, she ignored the feeling and proceeded to make her way back down the ladder.

I let out a sigh wondering what my next move would be. I looked back at my hand will all the crushed flower petals and blood that was now seeping through my fingers and started dripping onto the floor.

Will I- can I ever beat this? Is that even a possibility?
