A/N: It's fluff. Trust me.
He didn’t know where he was, but it wasn’t far enough. There was still snow and ice and winter all around, and he could still see the stares, hear the jeering, feel the stone-throwing. He left a long, stumbling trail of bright crimson through the barren white landscape, blood seeping from various wounds faster than nature could crust over.
He tripped eventually, tumbling through the crumbling snow as he rolled swiftly downhill; until he hit its base and shuddered painfully from the impact before going still, lying in a pink blossom of his own grief. It figured he would die alone, forgotten, unwanted like the outcast he was. The tear froze over even before it left his eye, but his lungs continued to pull in deep, tremulous breaths, his heart refusing to stop pumping even as his vision glazed over.
Let me die, he whispered into the frozen earth. Please.
Two hazy figures blurred out of the howling mist. He couldn’t move. If they’re here to kill me, I hope it’s fast, he thought, before one of them stooped down and laid hands of fire upon his heart that melted him straight through to his core.
He began sobbing uncontrollably, tears flowing hot and fast. The first figure smiled kindly down on him, even as the second scooped his fallen form into their arms, and he let them smother him in their hugs. By the time he’d finished his wounds had healed, and Chopper drifted off into the welcoming warmth with a smile.

Sanji took four steps down the ladder, spotted something, and froze.
Usopp touched a swift finger to his lips. Nightmare, he mouthed at the cook, before quickly wrapping his arms back around where a snoring Luffy had a peacefully slumbering little reindeer cradled carefully against their chests.
