AUTHOR: mrredrum
PAIRING: ZoroxSanji
WARNING: PG
NOTES: One everyday and usual moment from zoro's pov. My very much thank you for my dearest kakairupowns-san for the beta... thank you!!... Thank you.
I know that the moment he finishes serving Nami and Robin their drinks, he will shift his attention to me. Baka cook; he thinks I don't know his true intentions, serving the girls right in front of my face like that…
He wants to make sure that I'm jealous of his "precious ladies". Idiot cook, not realizing that he doesn't need to play some stupid game first, to ask me to love him.
Yeah, I know I love him. So what? It doesn't need to be said out loud; it's something only between the two of us.
But because he's a baka, he keeps trying to get my attention over and over, with his teasing words and his pain-in-the-ass attitude. Maybe that's the childish side of him, being so spoiled by that old chef with the big hat back at the floating restaurant.
See? Here he comes, heading over to me now. He says he knows I'm only pretending to be asleep; whispers it right into my ear. Tickling me, somehow arousing my desire for him.
So, I fight back, with my words and my swords.
After a moment, we settle in to our usual bickering, something that I know we both enjoy. It's a moment we can share, only for the two of us.
Then, something happens. We both fall to the grass deck, me on top of him.
We lock eyes at the same time. I was stuck in that deep, ocean blue gaze. Somehow, I knew I couldn't hold myself back anymore.
I need to kiss him. Now.
"Oi, marimo…" he is talking to me, bringing me back to reality. But I still can't bring myself to answer him properly.
"You stepped on my shoes, shithead!" Was all I heard before being kicked off of him with one solid blow. Well, I guess there's no kiss for me today.
...Better luck next time for me...
