Conquering You [Zorobin]

Chapter III

-- Introduction III --

Memories.

Memories come back to my mind. When I ask myself what this man has done to make me fall so badly in love with him, I was very badly in love with him, for that is the only thing that justifies my actions before him.

That justifies my request at the bathroom door two days ago. A request that I thought he would not accept, I noticed that he was tired of the long walk, of the 'exercise' he did on the ship that he will never be seen again and of the many questions that his crew members asked him about the origin of those treasures that he had in the bag after having disappeared for a whole day, perhaps that clouded his mind so that he would not think about the situation and at the end he would agree.

At dinner that night he still looked tired, ate faster than usual, not so fast, I guess not to draw attention to himself, said goodbye to everyone in two words and disappeared. At no time did he look at me, fortunately, as I did not think I would be able to hold it without blushing after our meeting in the bathroom.

That night after trying to convince Nami to let Zoro in the room to sleep with me in the same bed by telling her that he had lost a bet days ago and that to embarrass him I challenged him to sleep together for one night, unfortunately she was still blinded by the gold that Zoro brought with him, and as a grateful gesture she would save him that embarrassment by refusing to let him come in. A bad choice of excuse on my part.

I gave up on telling her the truth, because I was already listening to her throwing thousands of criticisms, judgments or curses at me about Zoro and I, that I wasn't interested or interested in listening to, and even less in supporting, I lay down in bed thinking about how my image would look in Zoro's mind, the bra was a pain from the moment I put it on because of the bandages and I decided to sleep without that pain.

I took off my bra and my blouse, I slept on my side giving my back to my friend who has disappointed me without knowing it, I covered my neck, then I could smell something, my bare breasts gave off the smell of Zoro, I went up the blankets hiding half my head, so that my nose is also under the blankets and I can perceive the smell better, that night I slept with a slight blush on my face impossible to see in the dark, but I felt it in my cheekbones.

The next day arrived without news, Zoro was still missing since the night before, the boys said he was still asleep, they all concluded that he was still tired from the little adventure he had the day before and that he did not want to give details because everything was in the past, that was his excuse.

It was when Nami first defended Zoro by telling us to let him rest, a defense that gave thanks for the treasures he had brought with him. I remember snickering at the redhead's attitude.

It was breakfast time and that's when he showed up again, he appeared in the kitchen yawning noisily, Sanji began to argue verbally with Zoro for the fact that he had no manners, woke up late, for being a husband and other nonsense, he returned the insults and they fought until Nami intervened.

Ever since he showed up in the kitchen I was trying to mask my smile, he was very perceptive, but he didn't say anything, nobody did, breakfast ended without another event.

Later Nami decided that we should look for an exchange house, most of us accompanied him, except Sanji and Ussop who were the guardians of the Sunny. Zoro gave his bracelet in exchange for money, but not the dagger he had seen him keep in his pockets, or the other items he had kept in his haramaki. He'll have his reasons.

When Nami handed out money to spend the day on the island, they all split up again into smaller groups. Chopper asked for Zoro's company on his trip to the library and he didn't refuse. Zoro addressed me for the first time today asking me if I wanted to join them too.
