Wait for me {One Piece X Reader} ✓

I take a deep breath.

I can't take this anymore.

Two days.

There're two more days left until we arrive.

These past few days we've been on this ship and the lack of fresh air is making me go crazy. My headache has returned, harsher than ever, making matters worse as I sit in the corner, starting to hyperventilate in the stuffy room.

Everyone else is currently asleep so no one notices me at the verge of passing out. I close my eyes trying to calm down but it doesn't work. I want to open the window but I know that if I move, I'm definitely going to get dizzy and collapse.

Suddenly, I feel a warm hand on my shoulder. A gasp escapes me as my eyes fly open. I look back into dark eyes, one with a scar going across it.

"Are you okay?" He asks softly, concern in his eyes.

I shake my head, still breathing heavily, the vicious headache making it hard to keep my eyes open. My hands tremble as they clutch my head, trying ease the pain.

"What happened?" Kid demands, his eyes searching mine. He looks panicked, deep worry in his eyes.

"Can't b-breathe." I manage to choke out, my breathing ragged.

"Your head?"

"H-headache." I stutter, forcing the words out through the agony, closing my eyes once more.

Gently, I feel his strong arms slowly lift me up from the ground. I let him, leaning my head against his chest, eyes shut tight. I hear him walk quietly across the ships floor and open the window.

Salty air invades my nose and I open my eyes, inhaling deeply. The air starts to soothe me and he holds me there, waiting until I feel better. After a while, my hands stop shaking but the headache is still there, a bit duller than before.

My eyes flutter closed as his warmth encases me. I let out a soft sigh, finally calming down. Slowly, I start to drift off.

As sleep starts to consume me, I hear a gentle voice whisper in my ear. "Goodnight, my little girl."

My head lays on a warm pillow, a small smile on my face. Half asleep, I snuggle closer, completely at ease.

But after a few moments I hear people whispering feverishly, causing me to frown. I try to go back to sleep to no avail. The talking continues, irritating me quite a lot. Groggily, I open my eyes and blink a few times, trying to keep them open.

Through the haze I see Law and Luffy angrily conversing with each other as they keep casting furtive glances towards me. I internally roll my eyes and fall back onto my soft pillow, trying to find peace once more.

"Are you awake?" A voice rumbles, my pillow vibrating. I shoot up, alarmed, eyes a bit wide and see Kid smirking down at me.

I let out a gasp and tear myself away from him, quickly standing up. He watches me, amused and I glare at him. "What the hell?" I whisper-yell.

He rolls his eyes, getting up from the couch and stretching. "Don't you remember what happened last night?"

At this, Luffy and Law stare at us with blazing anger in their eyes. "What?!" They whisper-yell.

I shake my head at the two. "I almost passed out yesterday. I couldn't breath. Kid helped me to the window for fresh air." I say, dimly recalling what had happened though I don't remember completely. I thank my headache for that. Note the sarcasm.
