Well, hello to all once again. I am currently working on this story and I'm really putting all my efforts here since this is the first time writing and publishing my work. I hope you like it and as the story goes I will put my utmost effort to improve it. Also I will try to make it longer in comparison with the 1st chapter.
I remind all that I do not own One Piece but I really want to ahehe..
This is a Yaoi kind of story so if you're not comfortable just go to a next genre. But seriously if you don't want this kind of genre why are you looking at this? To others,,, just proceed on reading .
Sunshine started to break upon the accumulation of clouds from the sky. It was near morning and everything was still calm at the Straw Hats Pirates' Thousand Sunny. Coldness still crept around the deck and between the two Pirates who happened to be still sleeping on the same position when they fell asleep. Still at Sanji's lap, Zoro was comfortably lying there snoring loudly. Happiness was written and evident at the swordsman face even though he was sleeping. Going to the other side, Sanji was also comfortable at his current position. Though Zoro was still sleeping, Sanji was awake for quite some time now. But instead of waking the other party, he just stared at the swordsman face, which is unusually peaceful compared with the usual scowl that greeted him every time they got into an argument.
Ruining the moment, a seagull which perched at the top on the mast, which by the way was thrice the size of a normal seagull, suddenly made a loud bird call which caused the swordsman to stumble from the comfortable position he had. This little fiasco earned a small laugh coming from the cook which he tried to hide but was unsuccessful. This earned him a little punch coming from Zoro. "Good Morning" Zoro said while standing up and fixing his clothes that was a little bit of out of place.
"He sure is weird since last night …." Pondered by the cook, but this is at least better compared with the usual fights he had with the Marimo. Answering back, "Good Morning also to you. That was quite a start in the morning right?"
"Yeah quite unexpected" Zoro stretched and yawned as he prepared for the morning exercise he had planned. Slowly turning around, as if to hide his face, he muttered "Thanks for the company"
"What did you say? I did not quite hear it." Sanji inquired as he also prepares himself for the task of making breakfast. It was at least another hour since Luffy will come out and shout for food continuously.
"Nothing" said Zoro as he felt himself blush yet again. "See you in breakfast."
Sanji slowly made his way towards the kitchen. Before closing the door, he shouted "Hey, don't be late on breakfast." He heared the other party replied "Yeah!" Satisfied he closed the door and started to make breakfast.
ZORO'S POV
(Here non-Italicized words are thoughts of Zoro :) )
Ever since the incident at Thriller Bark, my relationship with Sanji seems to be on a different league. Way different than the usual fights and barking at each other kind of situation. Without even realizing when this kind of treatment for each other started, I started to notice the Cook more and more as each day passes. "Zoro arrived at the Crow's Nest and started picking up his largest weights. Finally starting his exercise routine, he continued on with his thoughts." Well thinking it back, I think it started when we were fighting that Kuma of Shichibukai. When everyone was down and defeated by that monster's monstrous ability, I was really ready to throw my life away just for the sake of my fellow nakama. I even surrendered my Swords as a sign that I'm sacrificing my life as a compensation for the crew's life. But instead, the cook suddenly comes out of nowhere and blabs about taking his life instead. Of course I can't allow that to happen. Surprisingly that was what I was thinking back there. It even surprised myself that I did care what happened to him. So that is why I knocked him off so he would not endanger his life anymore. Of course after that I regretted hurting him but there was no other way that he will step down.
Anyway, what really touched something deep inside me was the time after I received all Luffy's damage and Pain. Damn thinking about it again stirs up some pain from my newly healed injuries. Going back, that's what started my liking towards the cook, no, towards Sanji. I now prefer calling his name in my mind right now, shows that he is somewhat special to me now.
What I'm afraid now at my current situation now is that how will I be able to say my feelings towards him. I know this will be quite a shock since he is a Male, and we are both Male. I don't know how he will accept it since they were the two who were always fighting. The chances that we both will fall on love with each other is a thousand lightning years away. But I'm willing to take the risk, I'll plan this carefully. Even if he will reject me, I will accept it.
"With this final thoughts Zoro continued lifting his weights. As sweat continued to slip down his chiseled body, wind was now entering the windows of the crow's nest. The sun was completely up this time and its rays shines beautifully all over Sunny-gou. Zoro savored this somewhat very relaxing feeling. A few minutes later, he started to smell the aroma of the newly cooked breakfast and indeed this is the signal of eating time as he heared Luffy shouted "FOOOOOD!!" at the top of his lungs. Putting his weights down, he now wiped away the sweat that accumulated on his body. As he put on his shirt, the familiar blond shows up and called him. "It's breakfast" and disappeared in an instant.
At least he did call me personally here.
With a smile that can reach the heavens he slowly made his way towards the kitchen area.
BREAKFAST
Breakfast was the same as usual. Just like any other day it was full of energy mainly instigated by Luffy himself. His voracious appetite sure is present as always and he is trying to get all the meat from the table even though it is not for him. Breakfast consists of fried rice which is very delicious thanks to the salt he acquired at Water 7. In addition to this, a meat dish composed of Pork glazed with honey syrup, fish dish sautéed using a special butter made by the Cook himself and also a freshly squeezed apple-mango juice was served with the fried rice. Everyone was indeed enjoying their breakfast.
Sitting at the far end was Brook who was now again making his Skull jokes accompanied by his signature laugh "Yohohohohoho!". Next to him is Luffy who was now laughing so hard at Brook's jokes. Usopp was concentrated on his new invention and at the same time eating. Nami checking her calculations about the weather. Robin reading yet another History book. Chopper talking to Brook explaining how he does a certain medicine. Lastly Zoro, eating his breakfast silently. Sanji on the otherhand, since he was now finished in cooking decides to join the crew in eating. The only available seat was besides Zoro so he took the seat and started to make a conversation.
"You're awfully quiet today? Is there any problem" Sanji inquired as he took his first spoonful of food.
Shifting his gaze towards the cook, "Sanji I'm just ….." shoot I called him by his first name suddenly. Better compose myself before he notices it. "Not—Noth--- Nothing, I was just savoring the food that you have prepared."
"Why are you stuttering? And you called me Sanji?"
"I… I… mean yeah I called you Sanji …." Shoot I thought he did not notice it… " You got a problem with that?"
"It's fine by me. I was just surprised because you actually call me Curly-brow or stupid cook all the time" wow he sure is acting weird now, Sanji pondered. "You sure you're ok, maybe that seagull noise this morning affected your brain or something." Sanji said as he checked if Zoro has a fever by placing his palm at his forehead. "You also look a little bit red"
"Of course I'm being red because we are damn close to each other and you're even touching me" Zoro said on his mind. Hastily he turned around so that he could hide his face and hide the now worsening blush that is spreading across his face. "No I'm fine… really"
"Okay if you say so. By the way are your wounds completely healed?"
"Chopper said that it is already healed, but I should not be straining myself too much. Probably it will take me another 5 days to completely recuperate."
Patting Zoro's back Sanji said "you should at least try to comply with Chopper's instructions. I noticed you lifted those enormous weights of your this morning" He now stood up and walked towards the sink to place his own plate.
As soon as everybody is finished with breakfast and left the room, Zoro, who was now the only one remaining aside from Sanji , stood up and helped the Cook wash dishes. They took their time and spent the whole washing process in silence. After the last dish has been put in place, they now made their way towards the deck to join the others. Before they reached the open air Zoro muttered to the cook "Can you please join me in the crow's nest later? I'm on watch this night. And also….I…. I'm gonna tell you something."
Sanji gave a confused look but saved the asking-for-the-reason kind of question later. "Okay…"
FAST FORWARD
Night has fallen. The cool breeze of the ocean together with the clouds surrounding the sky made this night particularly cold. As Sanji and Zoro settle at the window of the Crow's nest, both looking at the vast ocean of Grand Line, they did not utter any sound. Both were spending the company of each other in silence.
"I don't know how to start it damn" Zoro said in his mind "How am I able to say this to him without him panicking." Mustering up the courage "Here goes nothing" Turning his gaze towards the cook Zoro finally said, "Uhm…. I need to tell you something. It's quite hard because I can't put it actually into proper words so please bear with me"
"If you can't put into proper words, then put those thought of yours into actions" Sanji encouraged him.
"Those look in his eyes, it looks like he knows already my feeling towards him" with a gamble, he leaned forward and kissed the blonde cook in front of him. He felt no resistance at all from him.
Sorry if I need to end this story this way. This is what I intended to do. All missing details will be revealed at the next chapter. Please review thanks!!!
