-------------------------------------------------
The small pitters and patters that came in contact with the Merry's wood only meant one thing. The grey clusters of clouds hovering above the horizon clumped all together until you could not see the sky anymore. You weren't surprised, a calm day in the grand line was an impossible feat, all what was in store for you and the crew were violent storms and muggy grey skies that blocked out all the sunlight.
But there was also another thing that would bring your sunshine back down to Earth, not up in the sky, but something that was down here with you.
Lost in thought, as the splatters of water reached you, your body did not flinch or hurry to get under shelter, instead embracing the cold water seeping and dripping into your skin. After all, rain was a part of nature and nature was a beautiful gift bestowed upon every being born on the planet Earth.
With your elbows dug into the wood of the ship railing, you only got more drenched every spare second you were out in the rain. But it was only natural, so you embraced it, just like how nature had always embraced you.
The feeling of cold droplets causing goosebumps on your elbows was suddenly replaced with a familiar warmth that you could easily recall. Zoro. His smooth hands caressed your arms to brush off excess rain droplets. You leaned back with a smile, with all the cold the rain pours on you, there will always be a warmth to soothe you back. You did not need to say anything, you just let the rain make the noise.
"Hey." Zoro bluntly whispered as his hands moved down to give you a hug from behind. You swiveled around to face him, it looks like the rain got to him too. Your arm reached up to bruh some water off of his face, but he stopped you.
"I'm fine, but what about you? You're gonna get sick, its cold…" he said.
The shudder of goosebumps prickling your skin was enough of a response as Zoro took your arm inside, and you followed.
He grabbed a towel to gently pat down your hair. Ironically, the same hands used to cut down enemies were so gentle with you, because you do not compare to the scum that he had to kill everyday.
The soft towel enveloped your hair and made it somewhat dryer than it already was, but it was still damp. Your eyes peered up to look at him, feeling a little embarrased that you risked yourself to get sick just to stay in the rain. Your arms reached to get the towel and dry him off too, as he was shivering a little. You wrapped him into a hug, trying to warm up every part that was cold.
Instead of Zoro protesting against being cuddled in order to not embarrass himself, he went limp and melted into you your touch, like butter. His arms found their way up to yours and hugged back, without saying a word. Words don't mean anything in a moment like this, silence said it all without obtaining a voice of its own, it simply, was.
The next morning…
You woke up cuddling Zoro lovingly, with only one problem. You head felt like it was pounded into a metal wall several times and everything was dizzy and fuzzy. A sudden tickle met with your nose that erupted into a…
"Achoo…!" You sneezed.
Zoro instantly got up, looking you in the eye.
Uh oh. You came down with a cold…
Safe to say, yyou never went out in the cold rain again. Only the warm summer rain. Because warmth reminds you of one thing, Roronoa Zoro, your partner.
