How long had it been since that night? Zoro sat the window ledge in the hospital room, staring at nothing. Him and Sanji were married exactly one year ago. They had been together for 3 years before that and they had been friends since junior high. And just one night was enough to separate them.

-:-

Zoro was drunk. The music was quite loud. Him, Nami, Robin, Luffy and Ussop had come to a club. The music was loud and blaring. Nami and Luffy had already disappeared. Ussop was talking to a beautiful blonde at one end of the club and Robin was dancing with a tall man with a weird hairdo. Zoro sat at the bar, giving a cold shoulder to every girl who tried hitting on him. Sanji had called him an hour ago. The meetings with the investors went well and they were going to fund his restaurant which was being opened right next to the Kendo club Zoro owned. Zoro had cheered and told him that he couldn't wait for the cook to be back home. Sanji had chuckled "Now now Marimo. Your Romeo is showing."

Zoro downed another neat shot, which number was this? The music was loud but he was bored. He wished Sanji was here. They would be dancing on the dance floor, grinding their hips together and Zoro could kiss him all he wanted. The image that popped up in his mind made him feel giddy. He grinned to himself. He should head home. He had way too much to drink. He took out his phone and texted the others, telling them that he was leaving and turned to wink at Robin. She winked back assuring him that she was definitely going back with that guy.

Zoro was sure driving would make him reach the hospital so he decided to call for a taxi. He stood outside, waiting for it to arrive, the cool breeze brushing over his face. "Excuse me.. I heard you on the phone. Is it okay if I share the cab with you?" He looked down to see a pink blonde girl standing next to him. She looked extremely drunk, not that he was one to judge. He could barely see her properly. "Erm.. Sure.."
Zoro lost his senses as he sat in the cab. What he remembered next was a door slamming and him waking up in his bed, naked, next to the pink haired girl who was also naked. He looked down at her in surprise, confused.
"Well, I guess coming a little early was a bad idea, ne?" He snapped his head up to see Sanji standing at the entrance of their room, his face painted with shock and hurt, a tear threatening to roll down his eye.
"Sanji.. no.. It's not.. What..?" Zoro's head was hurting and he didn't know what to say.
"It's alright, Zoro. Take your time." Sanji turned around and left the room.

Zoro had not seen the cook since then.

-:-

It was raining furiously and Zoro was drenched. Sanji was supposed to show up to this place to seal the deal with the investors and he had not turned up. Thankfully, Zoro was supposed to be a member of the managing board so he was the one to close off the deal with them. He had sat there the whole day, hoping the cook would show up but again, he hadn't.

He reached back home and shut the door with a loud bang. Curse it! Where was Sanji? Noone had any clue and everyone had given him an earful for that night. Nami understood though and she was the only one who went a little easy on him.

His cellphone rang and he looked at it expectantly only to be let down.
"Hello" He mumbled.
"Hello. Is this Zoro Roronoa?"
"Yes."
"Sir, I am calling from The Grand Central Hospital. Do you happen to know Mr. Sanji Blackleg?"
Zoro's heart stopped beating for a second and then it ran.
"y-yes.. Is he okay?" He stammered, searching for the keys he had just thrown aside.
"Yes, there is no immediate threat to his condition. The doctors are checking up on him right now. Do you think you could come here? And please bring a change of clothes for him. Ask for Dr. Kaya at the reception and she will take you to him."
"Yes. urm.. okay.. I'll be there."

Zoro ran to his room, disconnecting the call and getting Nami on line. "Hello, Nami? I just got a call from the hospital. Sanji.."

-:-

"Ah.. So you are Zoro.. He was mumbling your name when he was unconscious and his phonebook is filled with all sorts of people so we didn't know who else to contact. Follow me please. I am Kaya by the way. I am his doctor."
Zoro just followed the lady. He hardly registered what he was being told. He just wanted to see Sanji. Nami took the lead. She had reached the hospital before Zoro and was trying to calm him down while they waited for Dr. Kaya to come.
"What happened to him?"
"Well, from the looks of it, he got seriously drunk and started driving. He was hit by a car. A passerby got him in. He has fractured 4 of his left ribs, his left leg and his left arm. He was wearing a helmet so he didn't face any damage on his head. He did loose a lot of blood though. He was delirious when he was got in. This room."

The three entered the room and Zoro's heart clenched. Sanji lay on the bed, almost every part of his left side of the body was either wrapped in bandages or plasters. An IV bag was attached to his arm and an oxygen mask was placed on his face. His face was pinched as if in pain.
"The morphine we gave him is probably wearing off... We can't administer another dose for a while. He will wake up in a few minutes. You can wait here if you want to. And do you wish to meet the man who got him in?"
"Yes, ofcourse. Where is he?" Nami asked.
Zoro tuned out the two ladies in the room and walked closer to Sanji's bed. He gently lay his hand on Sanji's cheek, scared of hurting him more that he already did. Sanji's face relaxed a little at the touch.
"... mask will probably be removed by tomorrow afternoon. I'll send a nurse to ask the man to come and meet you. If anything happens, call any one of the nurses outside."
Kaya exited the room. Nami walked over to Zoro. He was just standing there, his eyes on Sanji. Nami's heart hurt see Zoro like this. His eyes had a deep look of sorrow in them. She placed a hand over his shoulder. His hand came up to hold her's there, clinging onto it. "He'll be fine Zoro. Don't worry."
Zoro started shaking as tears started to spill from his eyes. Nami turned him around and hugged him. His head fell on her shoulder. "It's my fault. It's all my fault."
"Shut up Zoro. What in the blazes makes you say that?" She spoke into his ear, holding him close to her.

"Zo-ro?" Sanji's voice sounded hoarse. There was also some strain behind it.
Both Zoro and Nami snapped their heads back in his direction and broke the hug to crowd around Sanji. His eyes were slightly open and he seemed to have difficulty in following them.
"Sanji? Sanji.. Are you okay? Can you hear me?" Nami asked. Bending low, taking Sanji's unhurt arm in hers. Sanji's eyes fought hard to look at her. "Nami?" He rasped. "Yeah.. It's me Sanji.. How are you feeling?"
Sanji closed his eyes again, taking a deep breath "It hurts. Alot." After another few deep breaths ,"Zoro? Where is Zoro?"
"I'm here, Sanji" Zoro spoke.
Sanji opened his eyes slightly again, his eyes trying to locate him. Nami moved so that Zoro could take her place. "Sanji.. I am so sorry. I am so sorry. I didn't... I was so drunk.. I don't know how. I am so sorry."
"Zoro?" Sanji asked again. Zoro stopped talking and looked at him "Shut up." Sanji said. "I love you."
Zoro stood there staring at Sanji's face as his eyes slid close again and he slipped into unconsciousness. He looked up at Nami next. She was smiling. "Is he still delirious?" Zoro asked. That made Nami punch him.

There was a knock on the door and a man with weird hairdo popped his head in. "Hello. I heard you wanted to meet me?" He grinned.
"Ah.. You must be Franky." Nami said
"Yes. How is Sanji doing?"
"He's delirious" Zoro mumbled from the corner of the room. "Thank you so much. For bringing him here."
"Nah brooo! Don't thank me! I just did what every one of the dumb asses surrounding him should have done."
"Ne.. You met Robin at the club a few days ago, didn't you?" Nami asked.
"Ehhhh! You know Robin? Thank goodness. You see, I lost the number she left with me. Could you maybe give it to me? I really want to meet her again."

Zoro tuned out everything again. He went and sat the window ledge, staring at nothing. How many days had passed since that night?

-:-

"Well.. He is going to stay here for another two weeks before I agree to discharge him" Chopper had come with Kaya for the afternoon rounds. Nami had updated everyone about Sanji's whereabouts and they had rushed in to meet him an hour later that very night. The nurse had shouted on them to tell them that only one person could wait with Sanji and ofcourse Zoro stayed. Now it was afternoon and kaya had agreed for Sanji's oxygen mask to be replaced by the oxygen line that now ran below his nose. He was still unconscious though. This troubled Zoro. But Kaya assured him it was more due to exhaustion than anything else.

After Chopper and Kaya left, Zoro leaned in closer to Sanji's face and gave him a tiny kiss. He was surprised when Sanji returned it.
"You're awake?" Zoro asked.
"Hmm.. Woke up around the 'agree to discharge' part.." Sanji grinned as he opened his eyes to look at Zoro. "Hey, Marimo."
"Hey.." Zoro murmed, leaning down for another kiss. This one lasted longer though and Zoro couldn't help but bring one of his hands up to caress the cook's cheek lightly. Sanji hummed into the kiss before breaking it. His hand had unknowingly traveled up Zoro's shirt and held it's collar. "Zoro.. You need to know something."

Zoro sat on the chair next to the bed and leaned in.

"I had gone to this bar last night. It was the third one. Guess who was bar tending over there?" Zoro shrugged. "It was a pink haired lady."

Zoro's eyes widened. When Sanji had turned around and left the apartment, he had run after him, grabbing a couple of clothes in a hurry. When he had returned, the girl was gone but she had left her number on his side table with "CALL ME PLEASE!" Written on it. Zoro had torn the page and thrown it in the dustbin.

"Well. She told me something and I can't help but feel guilty after listening to that. You see, she told me that nothing happened that night. Nothing other than kissing atleast. When you two had reached the bed and she had stripped off both yours and her clothes off, before she could even touch you, you had point blank told her that you couldn't do it with her and that you had a boyfriend and then fallen asleep. She was so drunk that she didn't feel like leaving so she just shared the bed."

Zoro looked at Sanji, his mouth agape. "Are you kidding me?"
Sanji shook his head. "She was apologizing. She said that she was way too drunk to realize what she herself was doing."
"She's dumb."
"Oi.! Don't say that for a lady. I can't move right now else you would have been on the ground."
"Whatever. She is dumb." Zoro pouted.
Sanji laughed and then inhaled sharply. "Urh.. That hurts."
Zoro got up and kissed Sanji again. "I'm sorry." He whispered.
Sanji looked at him "Me too. I'm sorry.."

Yosh! Done! Please review. The updates are going to be slow. I am working on another story at the side and I got alot of work to do.
I am not too good at fluff, so this story could definitely use more cuddles but I have no clue how to include them. ( I am actually a quite non-romantic person) Please let me know if you want me to write something for you.
