Clumsy~ Corazon x Reader pt2

                          He gives a slight smile, "Alright then," he says, following after you as you lead the way. You step into the hall just as Corasan falls into your path. "Corazon!" Law growls. "Corasan, are you okay?" You ask, kneeling beside him. He sits up a bit, taking your offered hand. You help him to his feet, "Law and I were about to go get some icecream, would you like to come along?" You ask him. "But!" Law protests. "Don't be mean Law," You lightly scold the boy. He falls silent, scowling at the ground. You look back toward Corasan. 'Okay,' His notepad says. You smile a bit, "Alright, lets go then," You say, leading the way.

                          You order icecream and sit on a pier close by. "___, aren't you tired of the sea?" Law asks from your left side. "Nope, because out there.... There are plenty of opportunities, to live, to be free.... To escape," You murmur, eyes scanning over the horizon. "Escape what?" Law inquires. You pause, not meaning to say that last part. You look down at your gloved hands briefly. "Get some rest tonight Law, tomorrow I won't be so lenient," You tell him, lightly pushing him into the water.

                           "GAH! WHAT THE HELL ___!?" He gasps, swimming back to the pier. "It's about to start getting cold, go home," You tell him simply. He pouts a bit but drudges toward the ship. You glance toward Corasan, "Hey Cora, do you think there's a cure for Law's sickness?" You ask the silent man. He thinks for a moment and scribbles a 'Maybe,' on it. You shift closer to him making him pause, but your eyes are on the notepad.

"Do you keep all of your notes?" You inquire.

 'Sometimes,'

"Do you ever start conversations?"

'Only when necessary,'

"Wow, I got three words out of you that time,"

'Sorry,'

"What for? Don't apologize to me Cora,"

'Why Cora?'

".... It's short, and you don't seem to care for formalities since Law calls you Corazon,"

'I don't mind, just wondering,'

"Alright... Well, I need to get to an inn, so I'll talk to you tomorrow," You say, standing up. 'Inn?' He writes, looking up at you. "Uh, yeah... It's been a bit crowded on the ship so...." You trail off, trying to think of a lie. Corasan gets to his feet, and writes again. 'You don't like the ship?' He inquires. You nod, "Something like that..." You tell him. You look up into his sunglasses. "You know, sometimes I wish you could speak... It'd be nice to get to know ya," You murmur, rubbing your briefly.

                         He pauses, obviously taken aback. "Well, goodnight Corasan, sleep well," You tell him, patting his chest before heading to the inn. You get to the inn, and pay for a room. The first thing you do when you get to your room is take a shower. Sometimes it was nice to take a break from the crew, not having to worry about hiding the fact that like Law, you had the Amber Disease. You wash over the very slowly growing patches. Luckily for you, you had escaped White Town with little problems and the disease seemed to be hesitant to kill you any time soon.

                         Well... Lucky to be alive you guess. You're family had perished with the first escape ship. You step out of the shower, looking at the white patches in the mirror. Noting there was a new patch on your collar bone you frown. 'Seems like my time may be coming to an end soon,' You think before getting dressed in a tank top and shorts. You crawl into the bed, "Soon brother," You murmur before falling fast asleep.

                            "So his name is Decker Gima? He should be easy to find," You comment, looking at the lockpost. "Easy to find yes, but killing him may prove difficult.... So I'm having Corason go with you," He says, a sudden sly smile on his lips. You pause, and look over at Corasan who's shoulder was currently flaming. "You are not allowed to catch fire on my boat," You tell him. He pauses as you dump water over his fiery shoulder before rather regretfully putting out his cigarette. He stands and you both turn for the door. "Have fun~" Doflamingo calls after both of you. "Eh? Wha-" Corasan gives you a light pull toward the door, breaking you off.

                              You give a nod, "Alright, then lets head out," You say, starting for your small ship. Hopping onto the ship, you turn to make sure Corasan was able to get on without any problems- *CRASH!* You hit the ground as Corasan falls onto you. "I should've seen that coming.... You okay Cora?" You huff. He lifts himself off of you carefully, his sunglasses fall over your eyes perfectly. He pauses as you start to laugh.

                                "This is gonna be fun," You chuckle, taking off the sunglasses and putting them back on him. He straightens up a bit, helping you up. "Time to go," You murmur, setting sail. Silence. Though you were used to silence, the fact that there was another person on board made the silence overbearing. You look toward him, finding him fiddling about since you had basically told him not to smoke. "You can smoke if you want, I'll just have a bucket ready," You tell him. He shakes his head.

                                  "You sure?... You're kinda twitching," You point out. He scribbles on his notepad. 'I'm fine,' He assures. "Are you sure?" You ask. He nods, and you shift slightly. "Alright, well... Make yourself comfortable... I'm gonna take a nap," You tell him. You lay on the deck, head resting on your folded arms. You close your eyes, taking in the sunlight for a bit. Before you could fall to sleep, a sudden pain in your chest makes you sit up with a heavy breath.

                                    Squeezing your eyes shut, you wait for the pain to subside. You crack your eyes open as it numbs. 'It's getting worse,' You think. A hand touches your shoulder, making you aware that Corasan had witnessed it. He seemed concerned, which surprised you a bit. "Heh, um, I'm okay... Just a muscle spasm," You assure him. He frowns a bit at that, you can tell he doesn't believe you. "Aw, Cora! You're such a sweet heart to worry about me!" You say, flipping the conversation to him.

                                     He tenses as you touch his shoulder. Rubbing his neck, you see a hint of pink come to his cheeks. "That's cute Cora, you're shy," You chuckle. His lips twitch to give another brief frown before putting a hand over your eyes. You chuckle again, "Sorry Cora, I've just never seen you blush before," You giggle. After a while he moves his hand away, eyes averting from you. 'He took off his sunglasses...' You note.

                                     Smiling, you cross your legs. "So Cora, any idea why Doflamingo would want you to accompany me?" You quiz. He pauses, pencil lightly tapping the notepad before he shrugs, eyes not meeting yours. "Are you sure?" You ask, leaning toward his face with a mischievous smirk. He leans away, seeming very uncomfortable suddenly. He leans too far back and falls onto his back,  knee meeting your chin. "Ouch," You scoff, rubbing your chin.

                                      He holds up his notepad. 'Sorry,' "It's alright, I shouldn't have been messing with you," You tell him, getting to your feet while rubbing your chin. You turn away as he sits up. "Anyway, are you hungry? I'm about to make dinner," You tell him. He stands and follows after you, sitting down to watch you cook. It was coming out greet, until you cut your finger. Letting out a pained hiss,you step back, looking at your finger. "That really hurt..." You grumble. Corasan grabs your wrist, turning your hand toward him to inspect the cut. He pulls you to the sink, gingerly rinsing the cut.

                                     You watch curiously as he looks around before spotting where you keep the medicine and bandages. He carefully puts ointment over the cut and begins to wrap it. A soft chuckle escapes you, making him pause and glance up into your eyes. "You're very different from your brother," You comment. His eyes glint briefly before sliding back to your finger to continue bandaging it. "I'm glad," You murmur, putting a hand on his head just as he finishes bandaging your finger. He looks back into your eyes, seeming surprised. You give him a smile. "Thanks Cora, now step away from the stove before you catch on fire," You tell him.

                                       He listens and I swiftly finish cooking. You eat in silence (of course), except for when he scribbles in his notepad. 'This is delicious,' He writes. You blush a bit, "Thanks, I'm glad you like it," You say with a soft smile. He smiles a bit looking at you for a moment, only making you blush more. "What?" You huff. He looks away, shaking his head slightly. You blink and finish eating, swiftly cleaning up the dishes. "Come on, you can have my bed for the night," You tell him, once you were finished. He pauses, 'Where will you sleep?' He inquires.

                                       You give a shrug, "I have a hammock around here somewhere," You say. He frowns, 'You sleep in your bed,' He tells you. "No, you're my superior," You point out. He lets out a slight grunt before picking you up. "Ah! Cora! What are you-" You gasp as he puts you over his shoulder and pulls the blankets back. He lays you on the bed and swiftly covers you up. "Cora I-" he puts a finger to your lips, silencing your protest. 'Sleep well, ____,' He writes. You pout but relax, "You sure are stubborn... The hammock is over there... Try not to hurt yourself on it," You say, nodding to the hammock in the corner.

                                         He goes over to it and you watch curiously. He attempts to crawl into it and flips over it somehow, head smacking on the wall as his legs became entangled in the hammock. "Corasan!?" You huff, swiftly going over and helping him out of it. Once he was untangled from the hammock you kneel in front of him as he sits up against the wall with an embarrassed frown. "Hey, don't make that face... I can't tell you how many times I hit my head on that wall trying to crawl into that death trap," You tell him with a sheepish smile.

                                         His face softens a bit, a soft smile comes to his lips. "Come on," You murmur, helping him up and over to the bed. He pauses as you reach it, giving you a look that said, 'YOU get the bed,' "Wow, you're stubborn... H-how about... We share the bed?" You suggest carefully. You glance over to see his eyes widen a bit, but he nods. With that, you crawl into the bed awkwardly. "Goodnight Cora," You murmur, giving him a sleepy smile. He gives you slight smile. You close your eyes, and begin to drift asleep. Before you totally fall asleep you hear a very soft voice. "Goodnight ___."
