Zoro trains a lot. Even at nights. That makes him falling asleep during daytime, which makes Sanji tripping over the swordsman all over again. It wouldn't bother cook that much, if Zoro would apologize for this. Or at least wake up. But, alas, he never does. And one day Sanji has decided to take control over this. In a deep night, when everyone was sound asleep, Sanji went up on the deck. Zoro was lifting enormous weights as usual, making Sanji wonder if he is even a human. Sanji had to admit that the sight was amusing indeed. But not amusing enough to stay in cold for that long.

"You are going to bed." The replica made Zoro turn around to Sanji with a confused look on his face.

"That was a question, wasn't it?" Zoro asked and wondered why this cook would bother himself with that. "No, I'm not. Not yet."

"No, that wasn't a question, that was a statement." That completely attracted Zoro's attention. Even made him put weights down on floor. "You are going to bed and this is not under any argument." Saying this Sanji folded his arms on his chest making himself very alike an average mother.

"Doesn't sound very convincing from someone wrapped in a blanket." Sanji couldn't find his clothes in dark, so he decided that a blanket should suffice. Now he's feeling a little insulted. And embarrassed. ''Now, why don't you go to bed?"

"Stupid marimo, I'm sick of you getting in my way while asleep! You will sleep at night, like other people!"

"I don't think so."

"Of course you don't! You never think. Go to sleep. Now." Insulting Zoro felt incredibly good. Sanji didn't even feel a chill anymore.

"Make me." A grin on Zoro's face and expectation for another sparring. He always tries to make training out of everything.

Sanji's lost his patience completely and started his threatening apprehension. Although it wasn't as threatening as it was supposed to be. You can't possibly take a man in blanket seriously. But Zoro knew Sanji and his capabilities and turned into cautiousness itself. But something rather predictable happened. As blanket is not really comfortable clothing, Sanji found walking in it difficult. So once he forgot about it his leg tangled in his attire right in front of Zoro, making Sanji fall. And Zoro instinctively caught him. Dead silence fell upon as well as extreme astonishment. Totally confused looks on both faces, when they glanced at each other and a sudden emotion shot. Both recoiled and gazed in another direction. None could find a word until it got too long and Zoro embraced himself.

"I think I'll… go sleep now, it's pretty late after all" Zoro said still not looking at Sanji. They could feel a thick mist of awkwardness, wrapping them and squeezing words out of them.

"Yeah it's a good idea" Then they finally drifted apart.
