Media: Fanfiction
Rating: Gen
Word Count: 294
Characters: Chopper, Robin
Prompt: Summer

Summary:  Not long after the Davy Back Fight, the Straw Hats decide to enjoy the summer weather. However, Chopper has never liked the heat.

 

Everyone, except Chopper had voted to relax at the beach.With every step Chopper took, he could feel beads of sweat gathering, making his fur clump together.  He curled up under a Pine tree and groggily watched his crewmates.

Luffy, Ussop and Sanji were playing near the water, while Nami and Robin sunbathed, while Zoro snored loudly in a hammock. Chopper rolled around a little, trying to get comfortable in the rough sand. Eventually, he just sprawled out on the sand, still feeling uncomfortable and tried to sleep.

“Excuse me, Doctor-san.” Chopper sleepily looked up to see Robin holding a towel and smiling gently. 

“You looked uncomfortable. I thought you might feel better resting on a beach towel, “Robin explained kindly.

“Thanks Robin! It’s so hard to rest in this heat. It was always cold in Drum Kingdom! I’d only read about heat like this until Alabast- uh ... “Chopper was still nervous about mentioning Robin and the Straw Hats’ time as enemies. He blushed furiously with embarrassment.  Robin simply chuckled softly at the reindeer’s awkwardness. She sat beside Chopper while he lay comfortably on the beach towel.

“I’ve always lived in cold weather. Even though it was really hard living there sometimes, it was all I knew for so long; it was my home,” Chopper admitted, feeling a rare twinge of home sickness. Robin’s mysterious, yet gentle smile was briefly replaced with a look of deep sadness.

“Adapting to different locations certainly is difficult. Moving from one place to another can be tiring, yet ... it is often necessary.”

“Robin?” The young reindeer blinked in confusion.

“Oh, nothing; I suppose I’m just feeling tired from the heat.” Robin smiled at Chopper once more, and slowly walked back to join the rest of the crew.

Love it, love it. Love it. Last week was where Garp reigned supreme. It seems that this week is shaping up to be a win for Chopper.

Robin's always been so poignant a character. It's nice to see you use her character with something that pertains to summer/sunlight/light whatever. It's just so much the opposite of her character. ... err, even if she does look smokin' in a bikini. :9

Well done! ♥ And welcome to the comm~ ♥

Awww. Poor Robeeeen. *huggles*
This was really sweet. I love the way Robin is just kind of... wistfully talking (?) there at the end. Very beautiful.
Nice job. Oh, and welcome to the comm!
