Not A Vacation pt7~ No Bug Spray

          “So… Robin and Capone haven’t made it here?” You decide to speak up since everyone stood in awkward silence.

         “No, do you think they’re dead?” Drake asks.

          “Who knows… If we’re going to camp here, lets make a circle so we have eyes in every direction. It’ll keep us from being surprised again.” You point out.  

           “Right, Law and I will get wood for a fire since we helped Gov with it yesterday.” Drake decides before leading the other off.

            “So… Those things they had us collect are supposed to be for the animals here right? We should set them up outside of the tents so we can have them in reach.” Zoro suggests.

            “Good idea. Lets get started.” Kid says as everyone moves to get set up. You kept an eye out for anything off as you and Kid set up a large makeshift tent since you and the other pairs had left theirs at the first camp.

            “I think this’ll do...” You hum as you finish.

            “It looks like a hut.” Luffy comments with a head tilt.

            “I like it. Hopefully it doesn’t rain.” You breathe as you and Kid combine your sleeping bags.

            “Hey Zoro, lets combine our sleeping bags too.” Luffy hums.

            “No. I don’t want you cuddling me.” Zoro deadpans.  Luffy pouts at that. You and Kid glance at eachother and you cough awkwardly.

             “Anyway, lets start laying out our defense.” You say, moving to do so as the fire starters return with the firewood and soon light it. When you and the others finish, you stand back with Law to look it over.

             “This looks like a mess…” He mutters.

              “A well thought out mess.” You nod.

             “It looks like a disaster.” He deadpans.

            “You just need to put on your optimism glasses.” You smirk.

            “We may be attacked by alien creatures again…” He reminds you.

           “Or we may not and have a great night with friends-“

           “Hey! Its Capone!” Luffy calls, making you both look over as the man and his partner emerge from the forest. You scowl slightly.

            “And then there’s this bastard…” You mutter.

            “Mm… Someone’s optimism glasses slipped.” Law hums smirking at you.

           “Hey! Robin’s safe!” You gasp going to greet the woman, flipping off Law.

            “Seems we are the last here.” Robin hums when you reach her.

           “I’m glad you’re here.” You give her a hug.

           “I’m glad you're safe as well.” She says thoughtfully.

           “We’ll have to widen the perimeter so you two can sleep with us, other than that, we’re ready to check in tonight.” You smile.

          “Sounds good.”

         You smile as you settle in for the night with Kid. You turn to him, finding him looking up at the sky. “Do you miss it?” You whisper. He blinks and looks at you.

          “No… Do you?” He murmurs.

          “Mm… I miss everyone.” You breathe.

          “Like… Killer?” The question caught you off guard, and you blink at him in surprise. Kid looks away. “You never did pay attention to me when he was around.” He scratches his cheek. You watch him for a moment before propping yourself up on your elbow and leaning over him.

         “Well… I don’t think that will happen when we get back.” You breathe. He looks at you and offers a soft smile. You smile back and lean down, only to freeze as a green glow takes over your vision, you sit up immediately, flinching when the large butterfly like creature lands on your chest. “B-Big bug…” You stammer paling as you pat around you for something to scrape it off.  The others sit up and you glance around as more giant glowing butterflies flutter into camp.

        “Wow…” Luffy murmurs reaching for one. You feel a sudden pain in your chest and cry out pushing it off of you, paling at the needle like mouth.

       “Fucking butterfly mosquitoes!!” You shout, rolling away from them.

        “Grab the bug spray!” Zoro calls, spraying one, making it glow pink, then red before it suddenly explodes, catching his tent on fire.

         “Not the bug spray!” Law gasps.

         “Obviously!” Zoro snaps tossing his burning shirt.

         Kid grabs a can of salt, tossing some on the one that came at you again. It releases a high pitched noise, black spreading over it before seeming to turn to tar.

          “Grab the salt!” You tell them, dodging another one.  After the brief chaos calms, everyone stands around the camp, looking over the damage. Zoro and Luffy’s tent was gone, and part of Law's. You plop down on the ground with a sigh.

         “Damn…” Law sighs.

         “Freaking mosquiflies….” You grumble rubbing the large bite on your chest.

         “Shit, that looks bad…” Kid frowns.

         “Does it? Think I'll die?” You murmur in concern. His eyes widen at that, clear worry in them.  

         “Uh…” He starts and Law  turns you to himself,  shining a flashlight on the mark.

          “Well, you're not having an allergic reaction, seems the swelling is from some other fluids it must've put in.” He murmurs,  opening his pocket knife. You swallow as he brings it to the swelling.  

           “H-Hey, lets not go poking holes in my skin…”

           “Someone get the first aid and someone else keep her still while we drain the wound.” Law instructs. You try to object, but Kid moves behind you, arms wrapping around your arms and waist.

            “I’m sorry.” He murmurs softly while theothers get ready. You squeeze your eyes shut, feeling a prod over the swelling.

             “Alright, here we go…” Law breathes, and the pressure increases until your skin gives in and a hot surge of pain comes over it. You wince, letting out a his and gripping Kid’s arms. His thumbs rub over your skin comfortingly. You peek an eye open at the wound, brown ooze seeping out.  

               “Eewww… Its gross… Dont look Kid.” You gasp out. Law dabs at the fluid with a small frown, pushing out what he could, making your skin burn.

              “Almost done…” He hums softly. You sit for another agonizing moment before he sits back. “I wont bandage it so it can drain more on its own, let me know if you feel any discomfort.” You stare at Law in slight awe.

              “You're just like a doctor…” You whisper.  “That's so reassuring.” You smile. Pink dusts his cheeks and he stands.

              “Alright, lets see if we can make some makeshift tents and try to get some rest. Who knows what we'll face tomorrow.” He scoffs to the others. Everyone moves to do so at that.

            “I don’t like the bugs here.” You murmur to Kid.

             “They’re kinda like you.” He tilts his head. You stop to look him at that. “Beautiful but scary as hell.” He adds. You blush and start to giggle at that, hugging his side.

              “You… That was cheesy.” You tease.

              “Shh.” He puts a finger to your lips. “That's between us.”
