Title: Behind the Counter
Rating: G
Pairing: Luffy/Zoro... Kind of
Wordcount: 280
Notes: a bit of SPOILERS. Explanation behind the cut...

Subtly using the idea of the crew getting another ship since the GM is irreparable. I think if that happens, it will be bigger, and they'll probably be able to get a room each. With room for beds, like Nami's.

 

Behind the counter

She felt a cold sweat running down her back in a mixture of fear and excitement. They were pirates. Real life pirates! She recognized them from the posters. Straw hat Luffy, and Roronoa Zoro.

Nothing ever happened in her little town, and as usual she had been sitting in the corner of the store, contemplating life in general, when suddenly the door had opened and in stepped a pair, whose faces she had memorized from countless hours of boredom in the store, with the new wanted posters as her only reading.

They were however, nothing like she had expected.

----------------------------------------------

"No way!"

"It’s my cabin!"

"It’s my ship!"

They had been in the small store for 30 minutes now, bickering the whole time.

She watched Roronoa Zoro sigh, and roll his eyes up at the ceiling.

"Then how about black?"

A short pause, then, "No way."

"Why do you care!? It is MY cabin!" the green haired man repeated, looking like he was ready to beat the other down.

"Yeah, but I’ll be coming in there from time to time."

She shrank further back behind the counter, watching in amazement as the smaller Luffy just answered in a matter of factly manner, completely ignoring the look that could kill sent in his direction as he made his way to the other end of the store.

The girl held her breath, as Zoro stayed back, just staring after his companion. Were they going to fight? To her surprise though, the swordsman’s hard features softening a bit, and he smiled almost fondly to himself, before he sighed again, striding over to his shorter companion, and the bickering continued, to the relieved amusement of the bored girl, behind the counter.
