Chopper was still in bed…

It’s been a week already, since the enemies explosive had left the crew shrugging off minor injuries. Minor except for Chopper, who had seen the explosive and had tried to carry it away and throw it somewhere harmless. A mixed success at best since chopper still hadn't woken up.

Zoro finished changing the bandages silently as Choppers eyes fluttered open.

“Zoro? Are you hurt?” A groggy weak paw reached out and pulled the swordsmans hand into his for closer inspection, looking for blood or some other evidence of injury.

Zoros frustration rushed out suddenly wanting to hit the idiot for being so careless and he caught his hands momentum as it flew at the last second, letting it land heavily and then affectionately rub over the reindeers soft, furry head..

“Worry about yourself for once. Don’t do such reckless things…we still need you around you know.”

Chopper grinned back at him and felt the sensation of those strong fingers sink deeper in his fur nicely.

“Sorry but I had to protect you guys…it would just mean more work for me if I didn’t.”

The swordsman sighed to himself at the answer.

“Idiot, we can’t do anything if the doctor is injured…leave the protecting to me. This position doesn’t suit me at all, I’d rather be the one taking the nap.”

Chopper closed his eyes allowing Zoros expression to soften in relief like he knew it wanted to without the added scrutiny.

“I know.”

It’s easier being the one in the bed than seeing your loved ones there. Chopper felt only a little guilty for enjoying that it was his turn this time. Zoros hand in his paw and another brushing through the fur on his cheek now…it felt nice.
