A/N: Well, ain't this kinda late? I kinda rushed this kinda? So it a bit weird and fast and bad... MERRY CHRISTMAS!

I glanced around, is it really my sense of direction, or is there something wrong with this island… It's getting harder for me to breath as well… I looked down at the cook. He was still unconscious and his breathing was very light. I have to find a way out fast, or else… no one is going to make it…

The forest seemed to be getting thicker, but never thinner. Wherever I walked, we kept going in. It was already night… I sat in a small cave that I found. The cook laid besides me. I stared at the walls of the cave. Words were carved into them saying, 'help me!' 'I'm hungry!'

I looked down at the cook, "oi… are you hungry?"

The cook didn't respond.

I stared out of the cave, "like he would talk…" I sighed, "you shitty cook… when did you become so quiet? Don't you always have to scold me for things I do wrong?"

Still no response.

I glanced back at the cook, "what am I doing… talking to an unconscious person…" I stared up at the dark cage-patterned sky, "I wonder what the others are doing…" I turned to the cook and held his hand, "you're cold?"

I stood up and walked out of the cave. I gathered many large leaves and hurried back to the cook. I scattered the leaves onto him and tried to cover the open spots with some other random leaves I picked up, "ok… That should be fine…"

I sat near him and rubbed my hands together, "it's cold…" I looked down at the cook again, "you shitty cook…" I grabbed his cold hand, "don't die on me…" With that, I dozed off, holding the cooks hand tightly in mine.

SANJI'S POV

.

I slowly opened my eyes. It was still extremely difficult to breath. I stared at my hand in Zoro's hand, what is this stupid Marimo doing… I pushed myself up slowly. I turned and looked at myself, "wah… so many leaves… and... "

Did the Marimo do all this? I stared at Zoro and sighed. Ah… I'm thirsty… I stood up and looked out of the cave. I leaned on the cave's walls as I walked out, "is there even water near here?" I scanned the area, looking for water, "I guess I'll have to go out a bit further…"

I looked back at Zoro, "will he be ok? Well, whatever… I'll be back soon anyways." I wobbled as I walked around. The rocky dirt covered ground wasn't helping either. I leaned against a tree and took a few breaths. I looked back at the cave and kept going. "Ah!" I smiled as I saw water. I took a step towards the water, but tripped over a rock that stuck out of the ground. I tumbled down the small hill, scraping my body against some of the rocks and sharp leaves. I grabbed my arm in pain once I came to a stop, "ngh! It hurts! Damn…"

I began coughing and my breathing was even more difficult. I tried to get up, but the cuts on my legs from the fall brought me back down, "what a good day… to not wear… long pants…" I panted and coughed. My arms shook as I pushed myself up. I dragged myself to and tree and leaned myself onto it. I looked over at the water, I'm even more thirsty now…

.

ZORO'S POV

.

I stared at my empty hand. "Cook?" I immediately stood up. Where did he go?! I ran out of the cave and looked around, "you shitty cook, where are you?!" I yelled out.

No response.

I clenched my teeth and yelled again, "shitty coo-!" I knelt down coughing. Shit… I forgot that I am running out of breath too… I held the ground as I coughed. I stumbled back to my feet. I took a deep breath, "COOK!"

I heard a rustling sound. I turned towards it, "cook?" I staggered towards the sound. My eyes widened. The cook was leaning against a tree, his legs and hands ruined with cuts and blood dripping from his head. I ran down to him, tripping on the rocks, I skidded down the hill and pushed myself back up. I stared at the cook. His eyes were open, staring at me.

"Look who came… stumbling down the hill…" He laughed softly.

"Don't go making… jokes now!" I snapped. I limped over to him, "why did you go off by yourself?!"

The cook glared at me, "am I always supposed to rely on you?" The cook laughed, "that would be the last thing I would ever do…"

"You!"

"Hey…" The cook mumbled. He was looking away from me as he spoke, "do you… like me?"

"Eh?" I stared at the cook. What… is he saying…

He turned to me, "I'm asking you if you love me!"

"What the hell?!" I coughed.

"B-because… I… heard you talking…" The cook's face turned red, "to me…"

"When…" I thought for a bit. My mouth fell open, does he mean at that time?!

"You even held my hand… like…" He stared at me, "who would do that…"

"I- I just thought that… you're hand had to be warm!" I panicked. What did I hold his hand? No guy would do that unless…

"Hey… Zoro…" He leaned his head to the side and looked at me.

Unless… AH! What did I do? Why did I do that? I scratched my head. The cook held out his hand to me. I stared at it and sighed. My head down, I took his hand.

He smiled, "is that a yes?"

My cheeks flushed red, "... I guess… I like you…"

The cook was silent.

What's with this silence! Was he just playing with me? I looked up at him angrily, "I take that back, you shitty cook!"

"AH!" The cook shouted. He looked at me, "hey, Zoro, say that you love me again!"

"Hah?!"

"J-just say it again and look at the sky!" He tightened his grip on my hand.

"Tch…" I stared at the cook, "I- I love you!"

The cook noticed me staring at him. His face turned completely red, "s-stupid! I said to look at the sky!"

I looked up. The sky was a clear blue. I took a few breaths, I can breath properly now… I stood up. I picked up the cook and began walking to the shore that was peaking out between the trees.

"What the hell?! Put me down, I can walk by myself!" He squirmed in my arms.

"Sanji…"

He froze when he heard his name.

I looked at him, "I already told you how I feel about you… so you should tell me too… how you feel…"

.

SANJI'S POV

.

I went silent once I heard my name being spoken by the Marimo. How I feel… about him? I glanced around avoiding his eyes. I felt my heart beating faster and faster. I blushed, isn't this supposed to happen once I see the most beautiful woman? Why is it happening when I'm with the Marimo? D- do I really…

Zoro looked down at me. "Sanji," he repeated.

"S-stupid!" I covered his face with my hands, "don't say my name!"

"Then answer," he demanded.

"You! Don't go telling me what to do!" I snapped.

"Then tell me!" He raged.

"I don't want to!" I argued, flailing my legs around.

"You're going to make me drop you!" Zoro wobbled around.

"Then dro-!" My bottom hit the ground hard. H- he actually dropped me! I rubbed my bottom and struggled up, grabbing his collar, "you… actually dropped me…"

"I warned you!" He barked.

"Shut up!" I yelled.

"Not until you tell me!"

Tch! I pulled Zoro close to me by his collar. I shut my eyes tightly and pressed my lips against his. I immediately pushed him away and growled at him, "h- happy?"

Zoro stared at me with his eyes wide open. He gulped and mumbled, "do it again…"

"Hah?!" I stared at him in confusion, "what the hell…"

He glanced away from me and then looked at me, "I want to make sure… you meant it…"

This stupid Marimo! I snapped, "do you not trust me or something?!"

Zoro cocked his head to the right, "maybe?"

I angrily stomped up to him, "take this as your christmas present then…"

"Wha-!" Zoro began. I kissed him. I intended to push him away again, but he the stupid Marimo actually made a move… I tried pushing him away, but I couldn't.

"Z-Zoro!" I called, gasping for breath. I have to… stop this…

Zoro finally stopped and gazed at me. He grinned, "thanks! For the present!"

"Ah… uh… mn…" I couldn't speak. My face was surely as red as the red sand… "Then-!"

"SANJI! ZORO!" Luffy swung down and slammed against Zoro and I, "I found you!"

"Ouch! Always doing this!" I snapped. I noticed Nami and Robin waving to us on the boat. I jumped up immediately and waved to them, "Nami-swan! Robin-chwan! Did you miss me?"

We all walked back to the boat. The Chopper cried while running over to us. He hugged my legs, "are you ok? Did you get hurt?"

I smiled, "just a bit."

Zoro yawned and sat down. He immediately after getting comfortable. I sighed, "this Marimo…"

"Sanji-kun, can you still cook?" Nami smiled at me.

"Of course, Nami-san!" I wiggled around in glee, "just wait in kitchen!"

"Thank you! Come on, Luffy! Let's wait inside!" Nami called.

I sighed as the door closed behind the others. I looked down at Zoro, "what a pain…" I squatted down in front of him. I reached out and barely touched his hair. "Hey, Zoro… I gave you a Christmas present… So where is mine?"

With that, Zoro grabbed my wrist and pulled me close to him. He hugged me tightly, "I'm your Christmas present…"

"Tch…" I stared up at the sky, "you stupid Marimo…"

"Cook… Say you love me," Zoro mumbled into my back.

I sighed, "I love you… Zoro…"
