Title: Reindeer in the sun.
Word Count: 270
Spoiler(s): none
Media: Fic
Rating: gen.
Character(s): Chopper, Strawhats

Prompt: Summer

 

 

Chopper didn’t really like summer.

It was hot, fethid heat that weighed him down and left him gasping for relief in the shade. But what did they expect? Devil fruit or not he was a reindeer!! He wasn’t supposed to endure the height of summer. Sure, give him autumn leaves, spring breeze or winter frost to confront and he was perfectly happy but the sweltering heat of summer was another thing altogether.

It wasn’t as if he could have gone for a swim properly like Usopp (and god knows Luffy tried) He had to be careful not just with his ‘anchor’ status but his heavy fur which was always a pain when he got it wet in the middle of the day.

Still, the doctor had long made his peace with the fact that they were going to be experiencing lots of summer as they travelled along the Grand Line. It didn’t mean he was too happy about it though.

Although, whenever Robin tilted her parasol to cover him, Sanji makes him a cool drink, Nami lets him run the expensive air conditioning just a little longer, Usopp builds him a little motorised fan, Brooke subtly casts him in the shade of his afro, Zoro gives him a lift through the hottest places or Franky whips up an ice-cream machine he feels that maybe, just maybe, he could get to like the sweltering heat.

Then Luffy throws him overboard in a not very well thought out plan to help him cool down.

Chopper decided that while summer isn’t all that bad he still doesn’t like it all that much either.


A/N: I came so close to a Ben watches while Shanks cavorts piece but no, they weren't co-operating. Unpredictable pirates.

Awwww! This is all cute Chopper fluffiness and then, BAM! Luffy's idiocy ruins the moment. XP
Super cute, anyway! Nice.

Darn you, Ben and Shanks! I was all excited, too...

-Snorts- Aw, Chopper has his moments of silent weather grudging as well. Must suck for him in the heat though D: All that fur. Luffy, as usual. =_= Zoro/Sanji/Usopp/Franky aren't going to be happy about fishing them out again. XD God this makes me miss the Strawhats. T^T
