Conquering You [Zorobin]

Chapter II

-Introduction II-

Missing.

Missing immediately was what I felt when Zoro released the union of our hands, which had been clutched without wanting to separate for about 3 hours while Zoro took us to every corner of the city.

Zoro has finished our link when we are near the boat, close enough so that someone could see our hands clutched if it came out of the railing, but for me it was still too far and too early to end our contact.

But since there are no people around here, I imagine that Zoro figured that there is no reason to keep holding my hand any longer, adding that it could create confusion and misunderstandings among the other crew members on the boat and that he wanted to avoid the problems that this would bring him. Sadly, I have to accept his decision and I suppose I unwittingly show it on my face by the inquisitive look that Zoro shows me in his.

I quickly change my expression to which I am recently accustomed by having to hide my feelings. Not to my expression that I have been used to for several years, but to the one that I have been used to wearing since my whole family is reunited again, this expression is not as serious as before and smiles appear more easily.

Zoro doesn't give it any importance and doesn't ask any questions, he follows the way to the boat, I stay static for a moment waiting for Zoro to go ahead and as I am now behind him I remove my false expression that as never before is difficult for me to keep it. I can only observe how he walks away, so far and hard to get to his side, having only his big back to appreciate and not in the best way.

"I have a healing and anaesthetic ointment made by Chopper, if you want I'll lend it to you" he suddenly says without raising his voice, but enough so that I can hear him from behind, passing over my homesickness and hurrying to his side, his left.

"Thank you, I'll take your help. I don't want anyone to know what happened today" I say thankfully again for wanting to keep helping me when he's done enough for this day, an unforced smile I can put back on my face, a smile that he can't see because of his bad eye.

"I have it in the fridge, when you go to take a shower you tell me and I take it to avoid suspicions and unnecessary questions with the perverted cook" he says and turns to finally look at me again, his face maintains his expression also accustomed, which unlike me his expression did not change in the 2 years of separation, although he can not keep it so long without a smile interfering.

A dazzling spotlight comes to my brain as we arrive at the boat, I appreciate his kindness and agree with his strategy of evasion, he makes a gesture indicating that I am the first to board. "I'll be up in a moment" are the words I hear coming out of his throat as I prepare to ascend.

Being on deck and observing the area, I notice that everyone is on deck ready to go on an adventure, everyone turns around for the new presence on the boat being surprised and relieved to see me on board. Sanji with hearts in his eyes approaches in circles, but is interrupted, being pushed aside.

For Nami who suddenly runs and rushes up against me wanting to hug me while I try not to be obvious when trying to avoid her hug, preventing her body from exerting pressure on my injured chest, which I now had enough with my vest, I give her back the hug now accommodated in her hug.

Between sobs he explains that they were about to come out in my search in case something bad had happened to me, because it was about to get dark and I didn't usually disappear without warning. In the deepest and most twisted part of my mind I laugh mentally because at this rate it would have already been raped so much that the numbers would not reach my mind and they would just come out to get me, I avoid telling my 'joke' knowing that it would unnecessarily scare and alarm everyone.
