( zoro just. sets his phone face down on the floor, scrubs his face with his hands and stays that way for a long moment β and then finally pushes himself to his feet and crosses the room, sitting down beside nami on the edge of the bed. it's probably the first time he's moved in days without the wado in hand or on his person. )
I'm sorry β I don't want you to be mad, I just. ( tentatively, he reaches to settle his hand on top of hers, fingers interlinking. ) The thought of losing you is making me kind of crazy and I can't stop thinking about it.
( the general desire to cover up the trauma of the attack with being extra cutesy is there, but nami's gaze falls down to their hold, the fingertips on her opposite hand tracing zoro's knuckles. she doesn't know how to say that being attacked hasn't made her lose any faith in zoro βΒ not in his dedication to her, not in his strength. it doesn't really change anything, but that her throat hurts and that the thought of being alone gives her so much anxiety she wants to break out in hives. )
You didn't lose me. I'm here. ( she looks at him, watery, before rolling her eyes at herself, mouth turning up self-deprecatingly. ) I'm just scared. I don't want you to punish yourself.
