Zoro paced the room.

Law and Sanji are friends.

Sanji and Law are friends.

The cook is friends with that creepy bastard.

Childhood friends...

'Zorooooo, it's one o'clock in the morning, stop brooding over Law and Sanji.' Usopp groaned, rolling over in his bed to face his friend. 'Go to sleep.'

Usopp lay with his pillow at the foot of the bed, he had to top-and-tail with Luffy in the double bed while Zoro go the single on the opposite side of the room. It was a bedroom designed for a family not teenagers. However this did leave them with plenty of room to put their things, too much room actually as most of their clothes were spread all over the floor.

'It's just... I can't sleep for thinking about Sanji having a thing for that creep law.'

'Their just friends, I mean I don't have a thing for Vivi and she's a pretty girl. It's the same with Sanji and Law.'

'That's because you have Kaya, Sanji doesn't have someone else. He's a lot closer with Law than he is with me...' Zoro trailed off.

Usopp sat up, his afro spilling everywhere, he knew his friend needed some consoling but there was nothing he could really say. Zoro was right, if it was a competition for Sanji's heart then Law would win hands down. He didn't want to break the poor guys heart but he had to.

Luckily for him Luffy sat up just as he was about to lay it all on Zoro.

'Go to sleep you guys it's too early.'

Luffy usually wasn't one for sleep but the travelling had really taken it all out of him and Zoro didn't feel like messing with him.

Zoro mumbled an apology to his friend, flicked the lights off ad crawled into bed.

Sanji awoke to find Patty and Carne sprawled on the floor of their room, snoring away. Zeff was tucked into bed; his ridiculous hat stood on the floor almost reaching the roof.

He sighed to himself.

Why do I have to deal with these idiots?

Stretching he turned to check the time he took a mental note of how long they would have to make breakfast.

We only need an hour and a half, breakfast is buffet style cause Zeff convinced that Sengoku, it's 5:34, breakfast is at 8 so I have about an hour to make these fools breakfast to shake off their hangovers, then make breakfast, shower, change and go out with marimo and the beauties.

Oh and those other two.

Sanji stood up and, avoiding the sleeping drunkards, went into the bathroom to get dressed.

Sanji jogged down stairs in his uniform at 5:47 ready to make breakfast for the freshly roused cooks when he stumbled upon his childhood friend sat alone in the foyer.

'Law what are you doing down here?'

'Couldn't sleep.' Law didn't look round at Sanji, instead he rubbed his fingers over his knuckle tattoos.

'You couldn't sleep? I remember once I was convinced you'd gone into a coma cause you were asleep for a good 10 hours!' Sanji flopped down on the seat next to him.

'Hey you should try sharing a room with an actual polar bear, we're the only room of two but I'd be surprised if the guys next door slept at all.'

'True.' Sanji nodded. 'Ah crap, I've got to make breakfast for those drunks!' The blond jumped to his feet, startling Law.

'I thought breakfast was at 8?'

'For you it is, for us it's now. Sorry I would love to stay and chat but duty calls.' Sanji bounded off in the direction of the kitchen with the other man attentively watching his every move.

Crap! I knew I'd see him if I waited down here but I couldn't even say it.

Law hunched forward and continued rubbing his knuckles.

After a messy breakfast (most of which Law and Zoro spent sulking) everyone sat in the foyer waiting to be dismissed with their groups assigned member of staff. As they waited Sanji came down the stairs, freshly washed and no longer smelling of bacon or eggs. His entrance was somewhat reminiscent of Cinderella, his skinny frame adorned with a light blue, button up shirt with the sleeves rolled up to his elbows, skinny black jeans and patent black brogues. Heads snapped round to look at him as an excited murmur rippled through the crowd, in turn bringing a hint of pink to the cooks complexion.

'Quieten down everybody.' Miss Nico walked up the stairs where everyone could see her, flashing Sanji a killer smile as she passed him.

'Miss Jessica is feeling ill today so her group will be broken up into the other groups.'

But Sanji knew she wasn't ill. She was hungover.

She read through the first five people in Miss Jessica's group (poor Bepo ended up with Kidd), once she got to Law, Robin smirked in Sanjis direction.

'And Law will be going into Sanji's group.'

So I'm going to have to spend my day with Zoro and Law fighting over the cook? Great. Nami tapped her foot in annoyance.

This is going to be interesting... Vivi smirked.

Oh no. Kaya thought too herself.

Kill me now. Ussop made a resolve to avoid any conversation with anyone today.

Tra-guy seems interesting. Sometimes Luffys ignorance was a blessing.

Today was mean't to be the day I had the cook to myself! Now I've got to compete with Law?

The walk down to the town was awkward to say the least, but Sanji couldn't figure out why.

The day before it had been awkward because he didn't know any of them however even then the tense atmosphere was gone after around ten minutes.

He didn't know about the love triangle he had wound up in.

Zoro likes Sanji doesn't he? Law had figured for a while that this was the case (well who didn't have a crush on Sanji?), he knew Sanji was bisexual, and he knew that Zoro was hot, heck he'd thought that himself when he first started school. He knew hat Zoro was possibly his biggest obstacle.

Maybe I'll be able to find out why Sanji was wearing Zoros shirt yesterday... I'll try to get it out of Kaya, she seems like she'll spill easily...

Ah crap! If Law's here we wont be able to go and get my shirt, I think the others know about it but not where the shed is but I can't leave and Zoro will just get lost.

Dammit! What do I do?

Screw it I'll wait until tomorrow, that bitch should have gotten over her hangover by then.

I'm sorry this chapter has taken two months, I've had exams and my account wouldn't let me on for over a week!

I know these aren't good enough reasons but I am trying to balance things like my work and relaxing so the chapters will be all over the place but I will try to post chapters and write more frequently.
