Another Illustration from For Nakama, my fanfiction.
I realize that I do a lot of embrace moments in my story and I choose those to illustrate these scenes a lot as well... oh well.

Here's the tidbit from the story so you can get some context:

"Zoro…" Luffy spoke quietly as they made their way through the woods "I'm not getting better… I'm… I'm…"

"It's too soon to tell yet" Zoro countered, disapproving of the defeated tone in his captain's voice.

"When then? A week? A month? … Zoro, I'm scared, I'm really scared."

"I know you are, and I'd be lying to you if I told you I wasn't as well, but I know that if anyone can pull this off… it's you captain; and no matter what I will stay by your side to the end."

Luffy glanced his way, his face somber.

"Weren't you the one that said that if I did something that'd hinder you from your dream you'd kill me."

The words caused Zoro to stop in his tracks and pull Luffy around to where they were face to face, his expression angry at first, then calming as he stared into his captains hurt eyes.

"Luffy, I started out on my journey to be the greatest swordsman and I would die for that dream, but from the moment I became a part of your crew my respect for you has done nothing but grow. You have shown me that you are worthy of all of my loyalty, and your life more valuable than the dream that got me started in the first place. And darn it I won't leave you just because you can't benefit me at the moment."

There was a look of hope that crossed Luffy's face for an instant, but then frustration returned.

"I hate this…" he said, scowling and looking away. A small line of tears welled up in his eyes once again, but he held them in.

It was then that Zoro pulled him into a hug, hiding the boy's face in his shoulder.

"Me too captain, me too" Zoro replied as he felt Luffy's tears soak into his shirt. The two old friends stood there in silence for another few minutes until Zoro noted when his captain's emotional strain was replaced with weariness.

Shifting the dark-haired boy to his back, he proceeded to carry him the rest of the way to camp piggy-back style. Somewhere along the way he heard Luffy's breathing change and he knew his captain had fallen asleep.

so yeah, if you care to read the whole thing here's the link: [link]

I'll have more illustrations of Blue, Gold, and Pale very soon. thanks for the support
