Conquering You [Zorobin]

Chapter IX

-- Night --

Happy.

Happy I go to the kitchen, after a pleasant bath, looking to enjoy a breakfast alone with Zoro, because the rest still do not return from the party, is what tells me the sepulchral silence of this morning.

I could see my face slightly flushed in the bathroom mirror and now in the window that shows the inside of the kitchen, consequences of yesterday's pleasant and satisfying night.

I enter and see Zoro lying on one of the dining room chairs in front of an empty plate and on the other side a plate with food, covered to keep warm. "Good morning" I smile at him with joy and amplitude, he greets me with his head, because his mouth is occupied with a bottle, although it is a poor excuse for not doing it, but I will consider it for its solitary behavior.

That damn bottle, I should be in its place "Did the others come back?" I say looking at the plate in an attempt to bring out conversation, to hear his voice.

He pulls the bottle away from his lips "Nami and Sanji came back early, then they came back to the island" he says as I approach the table sitting on the chair in front of the breakfast "Nami said they won free lodging in a luxury hotel for 3 nights and a celebration tonight, after winning a competition at the party. And that before lunch will come our replacement. The cook prepared breakfast".

"What luck, we will be able to enjoy a luxury Hotel for 2 nights and without paying" I say to him and I begin to eat breakfast. Zoro nods and supports my words, finishes his drink and goes to wash the cutlery and dishes he had used.

"I'll go wash my clothes, then I'll sleep, watch in the meanwhile" he says, finishing washing his cutlery and heading for the door.

"I'll take care of it" I assure him, because he probably didn't fall asleep because he had to watch the boat and now he wanted to take advantage of it because I'm awake. He leaves the kitchen, while I finish my breakfast.

...

Finishing breakfast I go to my room to collect my towels, sheets and clothes to wash, because all must be dry before we leave the boat before lunch to not stay with obligations on another day.

Upon entering the laundry with what I must wash in my arms, Zoro observes his new companion, but immediately continues his task of washing his clothes, manually with brush and soap in the sink, without using the washing machine that most of us use.

"Don't you know how to use the washing machine?" I ask curiously, but it's also the most feasible option.

"Too many buttons and unnecessary products. This way is better, the clothes keep the color longer" responds finding the logic and I have to accept their reasons.

Our little conversation ends and I am forced to find another topic, I remember what he told me yesterday and while I was taking a shower I decided to be more direct in my intentions to flirt with him, now I will take the opportunity.

I sigh in silence so that he won't listen to me, although it's hard for him to miss something, I approach him, I take something out of the towels, I put myself on his unblind side and I show it to him. "Take it" I say nervously and with the cheeks beginning to warm up. His eye watches and asks a silent question looking at me with his eyebrow raised.

"You said it's your reward and I think you earned it justly" I explain my actions as I hold my wet underwear in the air, bringing it closer to him to accept.

"I understand, but it will look better if you wear it, it doesn't fit me" he says with a half smile, "I'll leave it to your care so you can take care of it" he says, grabbing my/his panty, first touching my shaking hand and putting it with the rest of his clothes that are hidden in the foam inside the pool.
