Without other purpose (Zoro x reader)

Chapter 10

You spent the day driving further in the direction of the north and chose to stop for the night, choosing to rest quietly in the car on the roadside while one of you at least kept guard. The roads weren't packed with zombies, so that was good and that's how you got to spend quite a peaceful night in the car. The only non-peaceful thing in your night was how loud Yosaku snored. Luckily Zoro didn't snore so much in his night sleep, but more in his naps, so he was all right quiet.

The problems only rose in the morning with Yosaku starting to feel sick. He said it would pass, but his condition didn't seem to get better and he kept hugging his abdomen in pain. You kept asking behind the wheel about his condition there and there but he refused to let you stop the car, saying he was fine and that he would get over it like a man. Johnny was worried next to you about his "bro," visibly fidgety in his seat. So somewhere in the noon you luckily chose to pull the car over despite his protests. That was the right choice because once the car was stopped Yosaky absurdly got out of the car and vomited on the side of the road.

Johnny supported him emotionally while you and Zoro exited the car to watch over the two from your surroundings. There were a couple of infected heading your way from ahead that Zoro went to take done while you scouted the road behind you as well as the forest on Johnny's and Yosaku's side. When you glanced at Yosaku on his knees he was still throwing up his guts out while Johnny was grimacing next to him. Bitten Yosaku couldn't be of course but you did wonder what he had gotten. Just normal nausea, stomach bug, or just dehydration?

Once Yosaku felt like he had thrown up everything there would be to come he laid down on the backseats, breathing hoarsely. Zoro turned to you with a questioning face and you shook your head to him as if to tell that Yosaku wasn't feeling any better. Johnny then came to your side from sniffing after trying to get his friend to drink some water.

"Sis, he isn't dying is he?" Johnny asked you with teardrops on the edge of his sunglasses about to spill. You weren't sure why he asked that especially from you, but you did have already in mind what to do in this situation.

"Hopefully not, but rest easy I go ask about his condition," you tried to comfort, patting Johnny's shoulder. You then went and opened the door to the backseat from the side Yosaku's head was and crouched next to it and tested his forehead with your hand, noting that it was feverishly hot.

"Sis, I feel like I am dying," Yosaku muttered, tilting his head up weakly so he could see you. "Say to Johnny to go on without me and not regret anything because I didn't," he boasted with his last energy while you inspected his eyes.

"Nonsense, tell me your symptoms now, so I'm able to help," you ordered, wetting a towel and setting it on his forehead. "It's not yet over for you."

"Are you an angel?" He asked in his sick haze dreamingly. You gave him a 'serious' look, making him sigh from slight disappointment. "Horrible headache, ow don't make me acknowledge it more, and um- this horrible aching in my upper stomach. Also, everything aches... and my whole body just feels weak."

"Hmm, okay I go see what I can do to those," you said thoughtfully, standing up and closing the door so the bright sun wouldn't make his headache worse. You walked back to the backside of the car where Zoro was standing, looking around while Johnny sat on the edge of the open trunk. "I think he can have something as simple as food poisoning or such," you told the two, getting their attention to you while you went to dig your bag.

"Food poisoning?! Is he dying then, what do we do?! I thought those were nothing serious," Johnny rambled anxious, holding his heavy head from all the concern he felt. "Wait a minute, are you a doctor or something?"

"Nothing like that, and he should be good with some treatment," you answered him, still focusing on digging your bag. Finally, though you found the plastic bag where you kept all the pills you had found through your journey. "Treatment being some medicine to help on his condition, without right treatment his condition could turn vital," you explained while skimping through the pill bottles and reading what they were for. When Johnny didn't answer anything you looked from the bottle in your hand to the two quiet men, looking at you shocked. "What?"
