Pastel Hearts~ Zosan

Chapter eleven~

I jumped slightly as Luffy shouted.

"YAY! We're here! I can eat MEEEAAAAT!" He cheered as Zoro parked the car. Zoro got out before I opened the door and stepped out. I began feeling uneasy as I did so, what will happen exactly...? Will they find me? Or what if a stranger kidnaps me or something?! Why did I come...? I just put myself in danger! Great! Just over a dinner out with Zoro's friends. I don't mind them, but I don't like strangers... They are my biggest fear! I snapped out of thought as Luffy was shouting 'YAY! WE'RE EATING!'

Zoro's pov

I looked over to Sanji as we all began walking towards the restaurant, I sighed as I noticed him look uneasy and nervous. I placed my hand in his shoulder causing him to jump, he turned to me but softened his gaze as he saw me.

"It's fine." I smiled as he forced a smile, again.. It was fake. It's as if I can read him like a book. He's worrying too much, I feel so bad for him, when ever I touch him, he jumps in fear, including when he's alone. I wish he could just take his mind off. I know he tried reading but I didn't work well... Well I'm sure he'll get over it... Soon...

Some day...

Sanji's pov

"I'm fine! Don't worry!" I faked a smile. As he looked to the side to see the lamp post that shine lightly down on us illuminating the dark place, he walked quicker towards the door and opened it for us to come to the door of the restaurant and opened it. I thanked him quietly before a waitress came in. She smiled and greeted us.

"Hello! How may I help you?"

"Can we get a table for four?" Zoro asked as the lady nodded.

"Of course! Just followed me sir." She began walking around with us following behind. I looked around at the strangers that were talking, smiling and eating. I but my lips as I noticed a woman, a man and a child laughing together, I looked away and began taking the skin of my lip using nails, I ripped off more skin feeling nervous and sad. That family was so... Happy... The child was so happy, the mother, the father... They were all just happy... How much I missed that feeling of being loved and happy... My mother was the only one who cared... And now she's gone forever and there's no way back for her.. She'll never come back, she'll never be able to embrace me again and tell me she loves me. That voice of hers is all gone.. My heart that she warned up was now cold and dead..  Emptiness is the only thing inside me that's left.. All there's left from her is nothing.. Her smile.. Her eyes.. Her voice.. Her personality! Her everything! She's gone and she can't find her way back anymore. Everything is gone... I bet Zoro doesn't care about me anyway.. Maybe he's just after my body pretending that's he's a nice guy.. I can't stay here any longer... Who knows what will happen..? I'll leave tomorrow... Tomorrow morning.. Since someone care for me or loved me, I know it's face... But ever since it was from real....... It has been..........

Fourteen years...

I felt my lip start to bleed as I continued pulling off the skin. Why? Because it was a habit that I had when I was worried or deep in thought. I snapped out of gaze as I felt someone take my hand away.

"Oi, stop that, you're hurting yourself." I blushed a little looking away. The lady pointed to out table that was besides her,

"Here you go!"

"Thank you.." Zoro thanked her with a smile before we followed him walking to the table. I sighed as we all sat down. I was the last to sit down before. I felt all eyes on me as I felt small as tried shrinking myself, but obviously failed. Zoro handed me a menu as I took it an read what there was.

Chicken curry? No.. Omelet? No... I don't want to eat.. I'm not hungry.. And I'll get fat anyway.. Maybe just a drink... I flipped a few pages before I found the drink section, I looked at what they had. I decided that water was fine. The waitress came and asked what we wanted. They all said what they wanted, all eyes landed on me.

"Sanji? What do you order?" Zoro reminded me,

"Oh.. Umm.. I'll just have water.." I mumbled as the waitress smiled. I noticed Zoro staring at me.

"Ok-" Zoro cut her off shortly.

"He'll have the same thing as me."

"Oh, ok. I'll go tell the cook then!" She smiled as she walked away. I turned to Zoro,

"Moss head, I'm not hungry..." I mumbled as he frowned.

"You're going to eat, I took you out because you needed to be fed since you haven't ate in weeks except from today. I sighed looking a way.

"Fine.." I mumbled as I flinched feeling a certain pair of steel eyes from a certain Doctor.

'Kid will adore him~' Law thought with an evil smile planted on his face. I looked around before seeing a couple laugh together. I wonder how it is to have someone to love you... I did have a crush on someone before.. Quite a few actually.. But they all turned me down and made fun of me.. That's why I don't want to fall in love again.. How ever... I have no idea why Law keeps looking at me. The whole table fell silent as I sneezed. I looked up.

"What?"

They stood silent.

"Do you have a cold?" Zoro asked placing his hand on my head causing me to blush.

"N-No!"

"Your head is hot and you have a red nose, I'll take you home after we eat alright?"

"O-ok.." I managed as he took his hand away and looked around. He noticed a group of men laughing randomly, he squinted his eyes causing me to wonder.

"Zoro, what's wrong?" I asked.

"Nothing..." he mumbled. I wish I can read his emotions better but I can easily tell that he was lying. Was something going on that go didn't know of?

Has he been lying to me about keeping me safe...?
