“It was one of those unexplainable

Moments of eye contact,

That is immediately overanalyzed

And inevitably misread”

OnePiece Season 7

      The rest of that night I had to stay up to make sure I wouldn’t go into a coma or something I wasn’t sure what Chopper was telling me I was dazed. Everybody was eating in the kitchen and I had already ate so I just waited in my bed with a heating blanket wrapped around me and reading one of Robin’s books without falling asleep. However, instead of eating with the rest of the crew Zoro claimed that he would stay in the girl’s room with me and make sure that I wouldn’t fall asleep, however, that failed because he instantly just falls asleep.

      I assumed that he tried to make an honest effort to keep awake and make sure I don’t fall asleep forever, but I guess he’s had a really long day. I’ve also had a long day but I guess getting shot, getting hypothermia, having your father not say good bye for the eighth millionth time, and almost drowning by saving my captain.

      So just watched him sleep, but watching him sleep did not make me want to sleep necessarily. Because watching Zoro sleep is like a watching tiny little child dream about candy. He was just so peaceful.

      I grabbed my cup of coffee and closed Robin’s book. Then Maurice looked up at me from sitting on my lap. “How long are you going to keep starring at Moss-head?”

      “He was supposed to make sure I didn’t fall asleep.” I snickered.

      “Yea, well you know what he’s tired. We all are, you put us through one hell of a time, and I really don’t understand why you just happened onto England’s ship. Because if you didn’t you wouldn’t be such a broken-ass mess,” Maurice piped at me.

      I then said still watching Zoro obviously, “It’s not my fault I got taken away,”

      “Why would he want you in the first place, man if I was going to torture somebody I wouldn’t want somebody who bitches about it all the time,” Maurice snorted putting his head down and resting it on my lap.

      “Why are you so grumpy,” I asked.

      “Do you know what time it is?” Maurice asked me actually getting up from my lap and jumping off of my lap and onto the floor. “It is 4 am we have been looking for you for 2 hours and it took Mihawk at least a half an hour to finish England. I wanted to ask him to make me with him, but he only spoke to Olie, stupid bitch,” he mumbled to himself and before I could even say anything he went over to Zoro jumped onto his lap, his crotch actually, and Zoro jumped up and Maurice headed up stairs.

      “Oh, I wasn’t supposed fall asleep,” he mumbled as he realized what he had done.

      “No, it’s fine,” I sighed as I sat myself up to lean against the wall to face him.

      He got up left his swords against the wall and came and sat by me on the bed. “Are you feeling better?”

      “Yeah, a lot, earlier Chopper came in and told me I could go to sleep in about an hour. But I’ve been drinking so much coffee, I don’t think I’ll fall asleep until tomorrow.” I laugh to myself.

      He smirked, “It that a challenge?”

      “Oh please, you wouldn’t be able to stay awake through anything,” I laughed at him.
