Sanji was pacing back and forth in the living room while Zoro was taking a shower. The blond was furiously flumbing through his phone just to get through the number he was calling.
"Pick up the fucking phone, you asshole!" Sanji whispered under his breath.
After a few more tries, Sanji couldn't still get through, so he decided to call the person's work place.
"Hello. This is Grand Line Hospital, how may I help you?" A woman asked on the other line.
"May I speak to Dr. Trafalgar? I have some urgent business with him." Sanji answered through gritted teeth. He was doing his best not to be rude to the woman who might have been one of the hopsital's nurses.
After a few minutes of listening to the background noise, a calm and familiar voice was heard.
"Dr. Trafalgar spea—" The other man's speech was cut off by Sanji's cold cursing.
"What the fuck did you do? How am I going to meet you now that you angered Zoro? Are you even thinking?" The blond said in a low yet cold voice. He needed to keep his voice low for Zoro would not hear him. Gods knew what Zoro's reaction would be. He would probably overthink everything til it came to a point when both of us would get hurt (physically and emotionally) and that's very unsightly.
"Calm down Sanji. I just said that truth. Is it bad to tell someone the truth?" Law answered. Obviously feigning ignorance to what happened.
"Don't fuck with me!" Sanji shouted a little too loud for his own good. On the other line, Sanji heard the doctor snicker, clearly showing how amused he was.
"Does Zoro know that you're talking to me?" Law asked just to somehow shift the subject.
The blond sighed to calm himself. "Of course, he doesn't you idiot of a doctor! You know full well the possible result of this phone call."
"Language, Sanji." The doctor said in a more formal tone. "I've got to go now, I have some patients to visit. Just meet me at usual place. 7 in the evening. Bye." The blond was left speechless, leaving him no choice but to meet the man at the said time and location.
He put back his phone in his pocket and headed straight to the kitchen. He needed to do something to keep his nerves in check.
He took the canister of dried tea leaves out of the overhead cabinet when he heard Zoro's heavy footsteps approaching his way.
He looked up and smiled at the other man.
"What took you so long? I got worried, I wondered if you suddenly became a real moss." Sanji asked as he prepared Zoro's tea.
"Nah. I just had a hard time finding clean clothes to wear." The green-haired man answered.
"That's why I'm telling you to not let your dirty clothes pile up. You're so stubborn." The blond said as he approached his boyfriend with cups of tea in hand.
He put the cups down the table and volunteered to dry Zoro's hair.
"Hey, will you stay the night?" Zoro asked out of the blue.
"No. I can't. I've got things to do for school, so yeah. Sorry."
"I see."
...
"You're late." The blond said as Law sat down in front of him.
"Impatient as always. Won't you offer me something first before nagging? Be more gentle with me." The doctor said as he scanned the menu that was handed to him.
"How could I? You knew full well that I've got lots of things in hand with all this stuff going on then you just—"
"Sanji, calm down. I told you, I was just telling the truth. I love you and you know that. However, my love is more like a brotherly love rather than romantic love. Zoro was just thinking too hard."
"And whose fault is it?"
"I'm innocent." Law said coolly.
"Whatever. What shall I do now? I can't tell Zoro the reason behind our meetings and more importantly I cannot let you meet him again. He'll just become more suspici—" Sanji cut off his own words as he saw Zoro glaring at him outside the restaurant. The blond stood up and was about to talk to Zoro when the other man's glaring eyes turned sad.
The blond froze and just like that, Zoro left.
