"(Y/n)!"

"(Y/n), stay alive, no matter what!"

"We love you!"

BOOM!

(Y/n) abruptly sat up, drenched in sweat and her cheeks wet with tears. Catching her breath, she fought the urge to create more noise as she remembered she wasn't alone in her room.

The same nightmare had been haunting her again, much to her dismay. It was triggered during the Straw Hats' battle on Onigashima, and she had been keeping it to herself. Most of the Straw Hats were injured, and Chopper couldn't handle too many patients at once, especially if it's just a mental problem.

Yeah right, it's all in my head, she convinced herself. Suddenly, she felt a hand patting her back, and a person with a normal life would freak out at the sight of a hand out of a pillow, but this is the New World.

She looked to Robin who had her back facing her, and she knew she have the urge to comfort the youngest of the girls right now, but deciding that a simple pat on the back would be good as of now.

"Thank you," she whispered as she lied back down and tried to fall back asleep, the hand dissolving into flower petals.

Sunny rocked peacefully along the waves, her anchors holding her in place.

The Straw Hats had just finished dinner and were now preparing for bedtime.

"Okay," Franky patted his hands together after lowering the anchors. "She's all set for tonight."

"I'll warn you guys if anything strange happens," Usopp said, walking along Franky down the stairs. Suddenly, Luffy appeared, who seemingly came from the crow's nest. It was a usual habit for him to just jump down regardless of the height.

"Oh, Luffy! What's up?" Usopp asked.

"You're on watch tonight, right?" He asked back.

"Well, yeah. Why?"

"I have a favor to ask."

(Y/n) stirred, slowly sitting up as she rubbed her sleepy eyes with a hand.

Her throat felt dry, and she reached out to the glass on top of the bedside table, only to find out that it's empty.

"Nami or Robin must've drunk it a while ago," She said to herself, then decided to head for the kitchen and get some.

As quietly as possible, she drank a glass of water and grabbed a bag of chocolate chip cookies for Usopp. Whenever it was Usopp or Chopper's shift, she would wake up in the middle of the night and give them snacks, a little friendly tradition that started back when it was the two of them awake at the night when (Y/n) had a major breakdown regarding a traumatic experience. The two boys have been a great help to her and thus she does the habit as thanks.

But when she got closer to the mast, she saw that it wasn't Usopp leaning towards it, but her Captain, Luffy.

His arms were crossed over his chest and his gaze was on the night sky.

Luffy must've sensed her, because he turned around and flashed a smile to her.

"Luffy? What are you doing this late?" She asked.

"Stargazing," he simply replied.

"I..I know, but uh...this late? It's not your shift tonight, right?" (Y/n) asked worriedly.
