Author's Note:

I don't own One Piece, if I did I wouldn't be living in the coldest place on earth.

Recap: Zoro and Clarity kissed! (Alert the media) Oh, also she's not dead.

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

~Clarity~

Daniella and I had been staying on the Going Merry for over a week and Zoro and I had managed to avoid each other. I don't know what I was thinking when I kissed him, I guess it was exciting not being dead anymore. I shook my head as I walked down the stairs to the main deck. Luffy and Usopp were sitting on the ledge with fishing poles in the water.

" Catch anything?" I asked as I joined them on the railing. Luffy looked at me and pouted.

"No, all the fish swam away!" Luffy told me. I patted him on the head encouragingly and smiled at Usopp, who was watching me with a grin. A sudden tug on Usopp's pole made both boys' faces light up. Usopp pulled on his pole with all his might, but the fish on the other end was putting up a fight. Luffy put down his own fishing pole and helped Usopp. They both pulled the wooden rod, but to no use. It snapped in the middle and the fish swam away. I smiled as the two got angry and began yelling at the poor fish. I turned away from them, planning to grab something from Sanji.

"Clar-Bear!" I grimanced at the nickname. Daniella hooked her arm through mine and continued, "Were you going to the kitchen as well?"

"Yeah, I am kinda hungr--" I tried to respond, but she cut me off.

"Great! Let's go!" Daniella shoved me into the brightly lit kitchen. I stumbled, but caught myself before I fell. The door slammed behind me. I turned and tried to let myself out, but the door resisted.

"Sorry, Clar-Bear! The sexual tension between you two is killing me!" Daniella's muffled voice came through the door. I turned to face the table that was centered in the middle of the room. Zoro was sitting there, frozen. A bottle of sake was risen halfway to his lips.

"Oh. Hello." I greeted him awkwardly. He took a drink of his sake and swallowed it quickly. For a minute he looked as if he might say something, but instead he just nodded his head at me. I cleared my thoart and quickly walked to over to the pantry. I opened it and scanned it for anything good. A red apple caught my eye and I grabbed it. I sat my self down opposite of Zoro and bite into my apple. Almost instantly after the apple entered my mouth, I was overwhelmed with spice. I spit the apple out onto the floor and let out a yell that would give Tarzan a run for his money. I lunged over the wooden bench and rushed to the sink. I twisted the cold handle, but nothing flowed out. Shit, I had forgotten about the clog. I looked around frantically and located Zoro's bottle of sake. I bounded over to him and ripped the sake out of his hand.

"What the hell?" He exclaimed. I ignored him and chugged the entire thing down. I'm so going to kill whoever put cayenne pepper on an apple. I gasped as I slammed the bottle onto the table. As I sat down wearily, a laugh erupted out of Zoro's throat. I glared at him.

"You did this?" I asked him.

"No, but Sanji's gonna be in a hell of a lot of trouble, isn't he? He was trying to keep Luffy away from the fruit." He asked with a grin.

"You have no idea." I answered simply. Silence filled up the room.

"Look, I--"

About what--" We both spoke at the same time. I sighed.

"You first." I said. He took a deep breath and began.

"About what happened the other day, I-- well, it's just- Oh god, I'm terrible at this. What I'm trying to say is-- ah, fuck it." He cut off and pushed his lips to mine. I widened my eyes at his forwardness. I soon relaxed into the kiss and once again, I was kissing Zoro.
