A rather ill and sweaty Zoro lay in their shared bed shivering despite his high body temperature or his sticky body, navy covers curled around him like a nest and his green hair was hidden beneath a snowy white pillow whilst his head rest upon the other, sandwiching his head in between them. Sanji sighed "you look like crap" was all he said as he rubbed his back.
The most he got back from the brute of a man was a sickly groan and a small shuffle from under the covers that moved over his shifting body.
Sanji let out another huff of air "I'll call in sick for you, okay?" his tone was not exactly comforting but it was quiet and hushed, trying to not add to the other man's head ache. He ran his hand through his sunny blonde hair tiredly; he really didn't want to see Zoro like this, it was too weird. Sanji's blue eye rested on the shape under the cover.
Zoro shuffled some more and peaked out from under the heavy duvet "'m fine" even the two words he said were slurred and mumbled "I can-" he was cut off by a huge coughing fit as Sanji rubbed his back "I can go to work shitty cook" he finished and tried to push himself out of bed only to have his arms collapse under the weight of his body.
Sanji rolled his eyes at the actions of the other man "uh-hu" he said sarcastically, drawing out the sounds as he spoke them "I'll take the day off to look after you" he said standing up ready to turn to the door.
Zoro's clammy and slightly pink hand grabbed his own "I'm fine shitty cook, no need to do that" he said shaking and shuddering, making his hand tremble agents Sanji's.
The thermometer in his other hand beeped, Sanji looked down at it with his visible blue eye "oh really?" he spoke as he read the thermometer, the screen showing a high reading "according to this it's time to see a doctor" he looked at his boyfriend and gave his sweaty palm a tight squeeze "I'll call chopper" Sanji sat on the edge of the bed and placed the devise on the night stand.
Zoro sneezed "don't make a fuss" he said through chattered teeth "I'm fine" his voice was horse and scratchy and his half opened eyes were pink and ringed with dark circles as sweat dampened his face.
"Clearly" Sanji commented not even paying attention to his moronic boyfriend. The man was curled up, sweating out all of the fluids in his body, eyes shut trying to hide from any form of light, shuddering even under their thick winter cover, his eye brows buried in a pointed frown, teeth clicking together chattering loudly, his face red and flushed making his cheeks a wonderful shade of rouge and his body temperature was burning up.
Sanji placed his hand on his boyfriend's forehead "face it idiot swordsmen, you are sick" he ran his hand from his hand off his wet and hot forehead through his sweaty green short hair spiking it up slightly "I'm sure chopper would be more pissed at you for not telling him, than letting him do his job". He chuckled and took his hand out of his damp hair and walked to the door and opening it with as little noise as possible, he looked back over his shoulder to see Zoro pull the covers tighter and burrow deeper into the pillows. Sanji shook his head and walked out shutting the door softly.
Hands in pockets and an unlit cigarette hanging limply from his mouth he made his way over to the phone that was on the table of by the sofa of their small apartment and dialled the number of their small doctor, he waited a few rings before a sweet and soft voice answered the phone "hello? Kaya and chopper residents" kaya spoke softly "kaya speaking, who is calling?" she asked down the phone, her voice was slightly tired and groggy, Sanji guessed it was all the late nights her and chopper pulled on shifts. With chopper and Kaya both going to the same hospital on their internship they decided to share a flat close to their work to save what little money they earned.
"Hello my lovely Kaya-swan" Sanji beamed down the phone "how are you this fine morning?" Sanji balanced the phone between his ear and shoulder as he walked over to the kitchen counter from the living room.
He could hear the small blonde giggle "I am fine Sanji, a little bit tired though. Me and chopper just-" she cut her self of mid-sentence with a yawn "sorry Sanji" she apologised for yawning "me and chopper just got off a late night shift from the hospital" she sighed "I swear the senior staffs hate trainees" she gasped "oh sorry you called me, is there something I can help you with" she spoke apologetically still.
Sanji grabbed a can of coke out of the fridge "normally my dear I would tell you that hearing you're sweet voice is enough" he spoke poetically with a sad smile on his face.
Kaya rolled her eyes at the actions and antics of the older man "but?" she knowing there was more to this phone call than mindless flirting, not that she was interested in Sanji anyway, when he first tried to flirt with her Usopp had punched him straight in the nose.
Sanji smiled softly down the phone as opened the fridge "but, Zoro is ill and I was wondering if you could put chopper on" he said calmly as he could as he opened the can and took a sip before placing it on the counter "he is burning up and sweating, but shivering and has a headache and stuff, think it might be a fever or some shit like that" he shrugged though she couldn't see it.
"Yeah of course no problem Sanji" she giggled "you must really love him if you're thinking of him before chatting with a girl" she smiled and got up to hand the phone to her roommate.
Sanji shrugged "yeah, unfortunately my dear you are right" he smiled "still hate the bastard though" he added as an afterthought.
