This scene is before the time skip.
At the moment Sanji was annoyed. He was annoyed by the constant fighting, the constant worrying that they may be out of food and he was especially annoyed at the marimo. Even cooking couldn't calm him down at the moment. All he wanted to do was to kick the crap out of the idiot swordsman and maybe that could calm him down. It probably wouldn't tough.
It's been a week.
A fucking week had passed since Sanji's confession. A confession that he now realized that was a big mistake. Despite all of the fighting and the marimo's usual stupid behavior he actually had developed something rather than hate. It was a feeling that made his heart flutter and made him blushed constantly. He had a pretty good idea of what the shitty feeling was. It was called love.
He hated to admit it but for his defense it really wasn't that hard to fall for the marimo. He was good looking and even if he didn't show it often the swordsman did had a soft spot. Chopper was the biggest proof of that. He cared for his nakama and dream and that was something Sanji respected in the man.
And a week had passed since he said all of those things. It was embarrassing at first when he walked up to the marimo, he was still training and lifting weights. Sanji didn't really cared at the moment tough; he just wanted to tell him about these…feeling. Zoro didn't give him much notice tough, he just gazed at him for a moment and continued his training. Sanji had decided to do this as quickly as possible so he had just said those fatal words to Zoro. Three harmless words.
I love you.
He had spoke quite calmly actually, it was when Zoro just stopped lifting weights and started to stare at him is when the panic started. His pulse quickened and he was sure that the swordsman could hear it. He had started to mumble and stutter like a crazy person he had ended his sentence with an "I'm sorry."
The swordsman had put the weights down and had fully faced Sanji. The cook had blushed and gulped when he witnessed the other mans muscular torso covered with sweat. He was weirdly excited by the scene and he just hoped to god that Zoro didn't realize this. Fortunately for him Zoro didn't. It looked like the marimo was more interested of what he had just said. Sanji looked in his eyes, he could see two things in those black sharp eyes. One; the marimo looked at him with affection, two; he looked sad. It was actually pretty creepy seeing Zoro look at him like that. Finally when Zoro had spoken with that deep voice that Sanji loved so much he wished he had never opened his mouth.
"I can't. Sorry."
Now, as Sanji was peeling some potatoes he could still hear the marimo's voice ring in his ears. He was actually confused when the marimo actually replied to him. He was expecting the swordsman to lose control and just yell at him. So, in a weird way it was a good sign that Zoro didn't yell.
Sanji had also noticed that Zoro didn't say no to his feelings. He had just said that he couldn't. But what the hell did that mean? He had no idea. Maybe he was scared that their cremates would react badly if they ever got together? But he couldn't see something like that happening. Luffy would probably just grin like a total idiot.
He sighs while he puts the potatoes in to the boiling water. He couldn't even sleep because of the swordsman. The first couple of days after the rejection he couldn't even blink an eye at night. He did heal afterwards however, now he could sleep mostly. Except for nights like this when he just couldn't get the green haired man out of his mind and it didn't helped that the so called man was sleeping next to him peacefully snoring.
The door of the galley creaks open breaking Sanji from his deep thoughts. He turns around half annoyed and half curious of whom the late timer was. He was actually expecting to see Luffy trying to steal some meat but when he sees the familiar messy green hair he was more than surprise.
"Hey cook," he mumbles clearly still sleepy.
Sanji chuckles slightly. The marimo just looks so cute when he's in a half awake half asleep state. He leans against the counter trying to look pissed. But he knows that he's failing miserably. Zoro's not the only one who's sleepy.
"Hey marimo," he replies gently damaging the whole trying to look pissed act.
He observes the green haired man standing before him. The only thing that he's wearing is a pair of green sweat pants that suits his hair perfectly. His eyes then wonders on his muscular body, he shivers when he sees the familiar scar that Mihawk gave him when the first time they met. He always wanted to touch the scar. He didn't know why, but he just wanted to. After that he finally looks Zoro in the eyes seeing that the swordsman his observing him as well. He looks fully awake now.
"What are you thinking cook?" he asks with a husky voice making Sanji shiver all over. Zoro takes a couple of steps towards the blond.
The thing that Sanji's thinking at the moment is how Zoro would taste or how good would it feel if the swordsmans strong hands would just caress his body. But of course he can't say those things out loud so he just asks the most reasonable thing.
"I'm thinking of why the hell are you here shitty swordsman?" he replies adding a hint of annoyance to his tone.
" You're a terrible liar you know that right?" he chuckles and takes another step closer trapping Sanji between the swordsman and the counter.
He could almost feel the heat radiating from Zoro's body. He just wants to close the gap between them and feel the heat of the swordsman on his skin; he can also hear the water boiling next to him but the first time of his life he doesn't care. The only thing he can concentrate on the moment is trying to calm his heart down and try to breathe normally.
However just when he's about to say something sarcastic or just deny the swordsman and tell him that he's telling the truth, Zoro closes the gap between them. The green haired man just takes one step more and presses his lips on his.
The kiss is tender and soft and turns Sanji's legs in to jelly. The swordsman's tongue comes out and impatiently demands the cook to open up his mouth so he can taste him. Sanji obliges and fully tastes Zoro. The swordsman tastes like metal and…ironically something sweet. It's hard to believe that the swordsman tastes sweet since the man hates desserts and such.
The kiss deepens as Zoro's tongue delve in deeper into his mouth makig the blond moan involuntary. He can feel the bastard swordsman smirk against his mouth. Sanji attempts to break the kiss and ask Zoro what the hell is going on, however just when he's about to do so the hands of the marimo starts to wonder all over his body making him shiver and blush.
"I want you now," he whispers into Sanji's ear as he rub his arousal against his own causing a beautiful friction against them.
But despite the fact that Sanji's almost completely blinded by lust a small part of him is still able to think clearly and his logical side is telling him to stop, there's something wrong with Zoro's behavior. Zoro had rejected him so why the hell was he acting like this?
Finally he stops Zoro's hand before he can go any further, the green haired man gives him a confused look raising his eyebrow.
"Why are you doing this?" he asks half panting still shivering because of Zoro's arousing touches. The swordsman gives him another puzzled look and smirks leaning over and kissing his neck.
" I thought that you wanted this ero-cook?" he whispers huskily.
Now Sanji's not only annoyed he's hurt as well. Did Zoro actually think that the reason he confessed was only because of sex? He pushes Zoro making him stumble back wards. He gives the cook another puzzled look and now Sanji can actually see him. He can see the lust filled eyes of the swordsman he can also see the giant arousal that had formed inside of his pants.
So that was the reason why he was here... Maybe it wasn't just sex for Sanji but it was clearly just sex for Zoro.
"Get out of here bastard," when Zoro doesn't move a muscle some inside of him just snaps. " What are you waiting for! Maybe it's just sex for you but I love you!" he yells not caring saying the "L" word anymore.
Zoro's confused look turns into a sad one. He doesn't say anything he turns around and leaves the galley leaving a hurt and confused Sanji behind.
The potatoes are forgotten and burned.
The sun shines upon the thousand sunny, as they arrive to the next island the straw hats are ready for adventure. Nami has already gave them there daily dutys and each of them are paired up. Sanji's paired with Chopper and he's more then happy to be traveling with the young doctor.
But of course like always the shitty swordsman ruins his mood.
Just when he's about to get off of the ship and join the young reindeer he feels a strong pull on his sleeve, he turns around to face the marimo that looks oddly scared.
"About last night-" he begins, Sanji cuts him off angrily.
"What?"
"Just don't tell anyone okay?"
Sanji can't believe his ears. This is too insensitive even for a marimo for brains like Zoro. He was expecting an apology or at least something close to that but no , he's just worried about himself. The fucking bastard.
"Don't worry you useless bastard I won't tell anybody that you actually like men. You Insensitive asshole!"
Before Zoro can say anything he storms off towards the first place he sees. He ignores Chopper's calls and runs towards the jungle not able to hold his tears anymore.
When Sanji decides he's far enough from the ship he sits down leaning against a tree. Right now he's thinking if he had done the right thing by running away. But he just couldn't hold himself, he was so angry and hurt. His heart felt like somebody was squeezing it.
"Why are you crying mister?" a soft voice asks.
He lifts his head up wiping away the tears, there's a black haired girl that's wearing a blue dress standing before him. She looks worried. He smiles at the girl.
"Don't worry angel, my heart hurts a little that's all." when he sees that the girl doesn't seem to believe hi he quickly adds. "What's your name?"
The girl smiles at him and touches his forehead.
"My name is Aoi mister and don't worry I'll make your pain go away." she replies smiling warmly towards the blond cook.
The last thing Sanji remembers is a bright light and the feeling like he's falling.
