Bepo's courage 🐻❄️ // Trafalgar Law

Day 26 : Unpleasent not even sleeping beauty

Bepo is outside, he insisted on working in the crop as soon as I got back from work, after our goûter. He's so nice, he's easy to live with and very careful and useful. I'm kind of attached now... It's been a month we're living together; he opened up about his story a bit more, so did I, and we reached a comfortable relationship. Today I feel particularly well. At least no body aches, not my back nor stomach or feet. I'm great. Only god knows why, because I didn't do anything particular... Anyways. For the moment, after chatting and tidying up the groceries I bought today, I decide to go upstairs to check on the dude. I slowly climb the stairs and reach the room. Stepping inside, I instantly feel a cold snap passing through my body and giving me shivers.

-darn, why is it so cold here...

I said, just for myself, before lighting a fire once again.

-he should be careful, not everyone is a polar bear... I said throwing one more branch in the chimney as I watch it grow...

-yeah, I agree.

...

Hearing this voice coming from behind me where the sleeping heart man bed is, I stare at the fire in shock. It's his low voice, right? He's awake. I slowly turn around and getting up painfully, I find this dark grey cold eyes staring at me... staring but still blinking slowly, he's just awake I'd say... but he's still spreading a scary aura around him even if he has no strengths, i can tell. Perfectly aware of this fact, i am not afraid of him. And Bepo told me enough things about him to know that this man is just a tsundere. So I stay where I am, at his feet and crossing my arms I go :

-i see you're awake.

-i am. He answered without latency

-is it for good this time ?

-i think so.

-how do you feel ?

-I'm cold. I need a feet massage.

-what ???

I asked out of anger because I had no idea he could possibly remember this and I kind of feel embarrassed now. Touching feet can be seen as really intimate actually, I'm so embarrassed and it makes me want to look even more cold to him.

-yes. He simply answered with a smirk

-so you remember.

-i do. And want more.

I frown and draw the blankets up to see his feet.... It's not that pink but it's not blue, so it's a no.

-nah. You're enjoying it too much, I can tell. I only did it so Bepo has a captain with feet.

-...you seem to know a lot about us...

-I do.

-I thought he'd keep his tongue in his pocket.

He said closing his eyes. As he did, I felt the tension going down and feel myself more free to behave. So I reach his side and draw the sheets down to access his bandage.

-he kept his tongue shut for a long time. I had to insist a great amount. But I had already guess. I say watching his low belly and touching it a bit...

-how is it ? he asked reopening his eyes and I feel tension again. But I'm used to that kind of aura so I ignore it.

-look yourself.

-no I can't move.

-at all ? I asked surprised

-no, my body still has seawater residues inside, and I have 12 broken bones.
