Love Between the Living and Dead

Vows

I really like this chapter cause it has some heartfelt fluff. This is the chapter that made the fic rated M. Not graphic or anything, just talk about and imply sexual stuff.

Enjoy the last chapter~

REVIEW PLEASE

A couple days passed until the smoke was clear and people whose houses weren't damaged got to come back. The park was packed with people wanting to see the rejuvenated trees with their own eyes. Luffy watched from his trees as the people explored the trails. He was proud of himself, even if no one would ever know he was the one who'd done it. Well, everyone except one. He missed Zoro. It had been eight days. Eight long days of being alone. He was so depressed for most of those days, but now he was back to his happy self and wanted to be with Zoro again.

He jumped off the tree laughing and hit the ground neatly and quietly. He ran down the thin trails people don't usually go on, and ran to Zoro's house, dodging the curious people so he didn't walk through any of them.

He reached the house and saw the car wasn't home, but Zoro's bedroom window was open.

"Zoro!" he called from a branch on the tree in the middle of the lawn. Luffy saw Zoro look out of the window and grin before he ran down the stairs and opened the front door, beaming. Luffy launched off of the tree and into Zoro's arms, giggling happily. Zoro grabbed Luffy under the thighs and pulled him up into his arms against his chest. Luffy snuggled his face in to his lover's chest and continued to smile as Zoro walked them inside and up the stairs to his bedroom.

Zoro tossed Luffy onto the bed, who landed without making any depression into the mattress. Zoro sat across from him.

"I saw on the news. The trees being fixed. I knew it was you. How did you do it?" Zoro asked, dying with curiosity.

"I don't know! I touched the tree and my glow fixed it. But I think I came up with a possible solution," Luffy said, seeing Zoro was eager to hear the rest of the story. "What if the glow is what's keeping me around? And if can keep someone dead in the world after his death, why couldn't it be transferred to other living things?"

"That's a good solution. It makes sense. But why are the tree's visible? When you got back to life and the glow surrounded you, your were invisible," Zoro said. He grinned. "You are the most interesting person I've ever met, Luffy. Not just because you've died but are still here."

Luffy scooched over to Zoro until he was able to get in his lap, the two chest to chest. "I missed you," Luffy mumbled, nuzzling his head into Zoro's chest. Zoro wrapped his arms tightly around his lover and said he'd missed Luffy too.

"What did you do before you turned into a god?" he asked, making Luffy giggle.

"I climbed the mountains for a couple days," Luffy replied, like it was nothing.

"You climbed the mountains?! Why did it take so long?"

"I kept stopping and looking around. I don't think anyone is able to climb up that. It was crazy steep and rocky. Then I almost fell off the top of the mountain. There's a really pretty lake near the top. I wish I could have swam in it," Luffy said with a slight pout. Zoro smiled and kissed the top of Luffy's head. "What did you do?" Luffy questioned.

"I stayed in a stinky warehouse for the first four days and then got so bored and tired of the smell and noise I stayed in the car for the rest of the time. Man, everyone was getting mad at me for opening the door so much and exposing everyone else to the smoke," Zoro said wistfully, like it was a nice memory, being yelled at.

"Zoro's mean," Luffy said, obviously joking.

"Well Luffy's mean for not coming with me," Zoro countered.
