~My Love is Yours~ (Zoro x Reader)

Chapter 4

Y/n's Pov
It's been about a week and I'm still sick. I groan and bury my face in my pillow. "With my luck I'll be sick for a few more days" I whine. I haven't been taking Choppers medicine frequently so it's also my fault. The whole week I've been thinking about Zoro. Him carrying me lives rent free in my mind. If I remember correctly, everyone is on an island named Skypiea.

I wonder what it's like out there. I get up to take a shower, I get into some clean clothes and go to the deck. "You should be resting." Someone says. I turn to see Zoro, he was leaning against the mast. I groan. "I just wanted to see the island. I didn't know you were gonna be here.". Zoro chuckles a bit, "Yeah, I agreed to watch the ship for a bit." He explains.

   Zoro walks up next to me, resting his arms on the railing. "How you feeling?" He asks as he looks at the clouds below. "Shitty.. With my luck I'll be sick for a few more days. It doesn't help I'm not keeping up with my medication.." I can hear him sigh. "It's quiet without you." He admits. "Are you saying you miss me?" I say with a smirk, bumping my shoulder into his. I watch him as he rolls his eyes with a smirk.

   I smile to myself. I tilt my head back, breathing in the salty and fresh air. "I feel you watching" I say abruptly. I glance over at him and he whips his head back. "Sorry.." he mumbles. As you continue to take in the fresh air your (h/c) hair flows with the wind, you felt Zoro's eyes on you but you let him look. "This Island is beautiful.." I say in a relaxed tone. I couldn't help but notice how cloudy the sea looked. It was abnormal to say the least. I stare at the sea with confused look plastered on my face.

   "If you didn't already know.. we're in the sky." Zoro stated in a monotone voice. "WHAT?" I whipped my head towards him. "HOW IS THAT EVEN POSSIBLE?" I was in shock. An island? In the sky?? There's no way, but then again this is the Grand Line. Zoro shrugs at me. I was completely flabbergasted.

Zoro's Pov
   Seeing Y/n calmed me, I had been worried the time she was asleep. She hadn't even shifted in her bed at all, she just slept there still. I already knew she wasn't taking her medication as she should have been because she was barely improving. 'I'm gonna need to help her stay on track' I thought. Seeing her out on the deck taking in all the fresh air she could made me smile.

I wanted to hear her say my name, the way my name sounded coming out of her mouth, made me crave it. After watching her get over the fact we were in the sky, she walked over to our usual spot and sat down. "Zoro" she said. Finally, she had said what I've been wanting to hear, I turn to look at her "yeah?". That one word I had spoken caused her to go on an entire rant as to how she's tired of being sick.

While Y/n was ranting, I had sat down next to her. Just listening to her, once she was done she threw her head back and whined. "I'm so tired of this" she said, still very congested. "I can help take care of you if you want. You know like make sure you take your meds on time and frequently." I said in a calm tone. I'm hoping she says yes, I've been wanting to care for her this entire time but I didn't want to make things weird. "Really? You'd do that for me?" She was blushing and smiling. I nodded at her in response and she said yes while thanking me over and over again.

**2 hours later**

   The crew had finally come back to the ship and we had just finished up dinner. Chopper had informed us that Y/n wasn't contagious so she was able to join us. She had a very much needed laugh. Seeing her smile and laugh made my night. Sanji was all over her and it pissed me off. I wanting to tell him off right then and there but
Y/n wasn't stopping it so I didn't wanna make her mad.

I clenched my jaw to keep myself from exploding. I shut my eyes tightly the sight of it will throw me over the edge. I knew I looked irritated but I didn't care. 'That stupid fucking cook can go fuck himself.' I thought, my hands were squeezing the handles of my swords so tightly my hands nearly turned white.

Y/n's pov
I looked over at Zoro. He looked so irritated but I didn't know what he was mad about. I got up from my seat next to Nami and went over to the corner Zoro was standing in. I observed Zoro, he tightly held onto his swords, his brows were furrowed, and his jaw was clenched. When I get to Zoro, I take one of my hands and place them on the hand wrapped around his swords, the other I take to his face.

   I cup my hand around his face and brush softly in between his eyebrows. "You'll get wrinkles if you keep them like that" I whispered, I felt his grip softened around the handle. I moved my hand to his clenched jaw. I have my thumbs a massage lightly where the jaw connects to the temporal bones. He leaned into my hands as I massaged. "If you keep clenching your jaw like that you'll start to get jaw pains.." I lean in and whisper in his ear.

"I don't like him near you." He admits in a whisper his eyes still closed. I look at him in a shocked yet curious look. He opened his eyes and looked at me. "Sanji I mean" he said in a low grumble. He had a straight face but his ears were red indicating he was blushing. "Why didn't you tell him to fuck off?" I whisper with a smile and a small giggle.

  "You weren't telling him yourself so I didn't wanna make you mad or something" he looked away mid sentence so I could only see part of his face. I take my hand and lightly push his face back to where it was. He was shocked and all I did was smile. "What? I wanna see you" I whispered with a shrug.

  "How come it's gotten to quiet?" I quickly added. I turn around to see the whole crew staring. I jumped at the sight. "ZORO YOU LUCKY BASTARD" Sanji was on slumped on the floor crying. Luffy had no idea what was going on and after he saw what everyone else saw he continued munching on his meat. Robin was just reading her book while Nami, Ussop, and Chopper were still jaw dropped. I felt a hand slightly pull be back and then a head on my shoulder. I lifted my hand up and placed it on his head, lightly scratching it. Soon instead of one hand it turned into both of his arms wrapped around me. I leaned into him and hummed a chuckle.

Nami shouted "LETS ALL DRINK TOGETHER" she said with a suspicious smile. I shrugged it off "do you wanna drink?" I whisper into Zoro's ear, he nodded and let go of me. I was kind of sad he let go, I wanted to stay in his arms a little longer. We both wandered over to the rest of the crew and started drinking.

Zoro was a heavy drinker but he never got drunk. 'He probably has a huge tolerance to alcohol' I thought. I was definitely a lightweight. After about my 2nd drink I was drunk. I didn't like the feeling of being drunk and on top of that I was still sick. Even if I wasn't contagious I didn't let anyone drink after me. I slumped back into my seat and groaned. I shut my eyes 'only for a second..' I thought.

It had been a few minutes and I was just about to doze off when I felt arms around me. I open my eyes to see Zoro, he was carrying me.. AGAIN!? My eyes opened fully. He looked almost happy, a small curl in the corner of his lips. Was it because he was carrying me? I smile as him without him really noticing I was up. I shut my eyes. Zoro opens a door and lays me down on a bed. He stands there for a second before turning around. "stay" I mumbled. 'SHIT DID I JUST SAY THAT?' I panic in my mind.

   A hand lightly brushes my face and tucks a piece of hair behind my ear. "Are you sure?" He whispers. Impulsively I wrap my arms around his arm to keep his hand in place. I hear him chuckle. He slowly maneuvers his way beside me in my bed. I flip around so my face is facing him and he scoops me into his arms, holding me close as possible. His breathing was even and it soothed me, it helped me fall asleep.
