Sanji couldn't help but think about how wrong it all must have sounded to anyone else around the ship, as he sat back on his haunches and watched the scene before him unfold. It had been a while since he had seen the swordsman so worked up and Sanji had to admit he was enjoying the sight far more than he should…
"so tight!" Zoro huffed, stopping to wipe an arm over his face, beaded with sweat. "You've gotta help me out here Chopper or it won't fit."
Chopper looked back at the swordsman on his knees behind him. At this height Chopper could see his chest rise and fall quickly and feel the heat rise from their bodies.
They were both starting to tire from the exertion, but even still Zoro's eyes had a glint in them; almost like he was enjoying the challenge. He never did like things too easy.
The reindeer relaxed slightly, nodding that he could still continue and Zoro started back up again with quick, rough tugs at his Nakama. Chopper pushed up against the swordsman and heard the man let out a gruff, satisfied noise as he felt the hole start to stretch slightly around his large head.
"Ahhh Zoro, it hurts, not so rough!" Chopper cried out, shaking slightly beneath the larger man.
"Just put up with it a little longer, it's almost fully stretched now… shit, I'm gunna try to push all the way."
Zoro grunted with renewed effort and Sanji unconciously leant towards the pair in anticipation, cigarette all but forgotten in his now slack mouth as his eyes were glued to the activity in front.
"Zoro! I can feel it…" The doctor's voice rose slightly as Zoro pulled further, "ngg… ahhh, I can't" he cried, "I'm gunn- uhhAHHH!"
Finally, Chopper felt release and shouted with the effort. As the reindeer came to his senses, he felt the material softly fall around his shoulders.
Sanji grinned and Zoro laughed heartily, as they watched their Nakama rub his sore head with one hoof and pick at the christmas jumper, now snugly fit around his body, with the other. The poor reindeer was glad the task was finished.
"It looks good Chopper, very smart!" Sanji said approvingly. At this the little doctor started wriggling, embarrassed at the compliment.
"I wish that cheapskate navigator would've let us get one in a bigger size though..." Zoro grumbled, obviously irritated at getting the short end of the stick and being left with the task of having to force the too-small woollen material over his little friend's head… His badmouthing of Nami was promptly rewarded however, by a hard kick over the head from the cook.
"SHut up! Nami's measurements are perfect, Marimo. Look, it fits Chopper perfectly now that it's on!" Sanji fumed.
Zoro bristled back, standing nose to nose with the blonde. "Yeah, it's great!" He replied sarcastically, "let's just hope that we never have to leave this damn cold island, shit-cook, 'cos he's never getting that stupid thing back off!"
"I don't wanna take it off!" Chopper beamed, arms wrapped tightly around his body and a huge smile on his face.
"it's so warm! I'm gunna go show Robin! And Usopp! And Franky…" The reindeer's little voice faded as he skipped happily out of the room to find his crewmates, leaving Zoro and Sanji to just sigh and mumble, to themselves respectively, as they followed after him.
