onepieceyaoi100For some reason, this took me an hour to write. >> And all my entries for this week barely even brush the topic.
Title: To Each Other
Rating: PG
Pairing: Zoro/Luffy (*GASPSHOCK!*)
Word count: 300
Topic: Rock (stones ARE considered as rocks, too, right? o_0)
He was six when one of the elders of the village had passed away. Luffy had fidgeted impatiently during the funeral procession, not quite comprehending the need to stay so still nor the seriousness of the situation.
“He died protecting his grandchild from a wild wolf.” Ace’s voice was devoid of his usual humor, and he’d given his brother a sad little grin. “It was a good way to go, though.”
Luffy was seated next to the bed where Zoro was lying on his stomach, torso white with bandages. He’d stepped in front of his captain mere seconds before the Marines opened fire on them, somehow knowing Luffy would believe that the shots would rebound, and that there wasn’t enough time for him to deflect the bullets with swords. When the crew had gotten safely away and Chopper had rolled the swordsman over to check the damage, he found not gunshot wounds, but millions of seastone shrapnel embedded within the bloody, lacerated flesh.
He’d lost a fair amount of blood, but the injury wasn’t exactly life-threatening for a normal human like him. Zoro’s eyes seemed riveted on a nick in the wall opposite, expression calm as he inhaled deep and slow. They’d been alone together in the cabin for nearly half an hour now, yet neither had breathed a single word.
It was Luffy who broke the unsettling silence. “Don’t go, Zoro,” he whispered at last, head lowered, voice hoarse.
Zoro sounded vaguely confused. “Not going anywhere.” Then he added, somewhat amusedly, “Can’t.”
“You’re only going after you’ve realized your dream.” The hat shadowed his features. “Not before and not because you were protecting mine.”
“Idiot,” Zoro said, pleasantly, after a bit of thinking, and shortly began snoring.
Luffy stayed awake, watching him sleep, watching him breathe. Watching him live.
