Captain's Parrot (Oc x One Piece) Book 1

Shopping w/ Usopp & Sanji//Chapter 57

Reaching over from her comfortable spot, Faythe grabbed a green apple that sat on a plate by her bedside. She sat crisscrossed on her bed, her feathered pen scrawling across her pages excitedly. She took a bite of the apple and read over the pages, making sure their are no grammar mispronunciations. She hummed to herself as she finished reading, her blue eyes trailing down the paper. Writing down the part where she and Vivi scaled the cliff, with the help of Carue, and Mr. 2 on their tail, Faythe grimaced at the spectacular memory. Stopping for a moment to remember what came next, she heard Luffy grumble in his sleep, probably having a crazy dream.

Luffy was getting better now, but he still had a slight fever. He should be better in due time. He rolled over on his back, arms and legs spread out in star formation. He had a bit of drool falling out of his mouth.

Faythe turned towards the door, hearing it click open. Vivi peeked inside and spotted Faythe still in her bed writing, "You're still writing?? Well I can't blame you, so much had happened, yesterday.."

"Ya.. but it's kinda worth it in the end." Faythe trailed her fingers down the page, her eyes softening seeing the whole adventure end.

Vivi watched Faythe read through her writing and let out a soft smile, looking down at her hands clasped together, "Faythe.."

"Hm?"

"Thank you.. For everything." Vivi looked up at the girl, "It truly means everything to me.. Without you, I might've been-"

Faythe held up a finger to the blunette's lips, "Nope! We ain't gonna talk about that depressing shit here. It's over. We're safe and alive, fortunately. So, come on over here and get the hug, you've been waiting for." She held her arms out, motioning for the girl to come closer.

Vivi let out a soft laugh and bounded over to the girl. She felt Faythe's arms wrap around her waist and her head rest on her shoulder. Vivi melted into the hug almost instantly, feeling relaxed in that moment. She felt like all the duty and burden as Princess were lifted in that moment, and she was just Vivi.

Listening to the door click open again, both girls turned to see Usopp peer in and see them both embracing each other, "The hell... Was I interrupting something..??"

Faythe let out a giggle at the scene that was now engraved in Usopp's memory, "No, just giving a friend a hug. Do you want one too?" Faythe raised a brow, a smirk present on her face.

Usopp's face scrunched up in disgust at the actual idea of hugging Faythe, "HA! A hug from you, Faythe? That'd be the last thing I'd ask for."

"As much as I love seeing you two bicker like siblings" Vivi giggled to herself as she saw they're faces morph into a look of pure disgust, "But, I'm also curious as to why your here.. Weren't you going to go shopping with Sanji?"

Usopp's disgusted face went blank as he just realized what he came here for, "Oh! I was gonna ask if Faythe wanted to come along, she can't sit in her bed all day. But after that whole conversation, I'm a bit hesitant now..."

Faythe let out a smirk, "Don't worry, I won't bother you too much."

Usopp was now getting skeptical, "Riiiiiiigggghhhhhtt.."

Vivi watched Faythe close her book and place it gently by her nightstand. She grabbed her green apple and took another bite from it. Faythe held her hand out towards Vivi who smiled as she helped the red head up to her feet.

Faythe knew right away that her legs were still wobbly and needed some time to get used to, "Looks like I need to walk around a bit..." She chuckled nervously, already feeling the soreness in her calves.
