What is the idiot thinking! How can he leave her here all alone for however long he's out? What happens if there is a burglar? What would he do then? What if she gets injured? How irresponsible!
Deep breath in, then out. In, then out. Calm down. He's overstepping. He doesn't know Zoro's motives. He doesn't even know Zoro's job, though he does have a hint on what it might be. He needs to do something to occupy his mind while he waits.
He turns the light in the hallway off, going to the kitchen, his domain, he looks around the kitchen for the cleaning supplies. He finds them in a small closet with other cleaning supplies. Knowing the idiot, he probably hasn't cleaned the kitchen in weeks. Sanji gets the rubber gloves on and is about to start but stops. He takes one glove off and with the pad of his index finger swipes the counter top. He looks at his finger.
No dust, grime or other speck of dirt. It's clean. He starts swiping his finger over everything in the kitchen to make sure. Still nothing. It's all clean. It's so clean, Sanji is most likely cleaning his own finger with how clean the kitchen is. He goes over to the living room and does the same.
Everything is spotless. Sanji puts the cleaning supplies away and sits on the couch. That has calmed him down. So Zoro does care.
Sanji knew that from before but this just proves it right? Not only does he give Megumi the bigger room but her room is fully decorated with things from music boxes to princess figurines and stuffed animals. She even has one of the biggest teddy bears he's ever seen. The one she's sleeping with is big but the one in the corner is almost as tall as him.
So Zoro loves her so much that he buys her all those things but leaves her alone? It just doesn't make sense. Sanji looks to the side to see blinds. Sanji stands up and moves the blinds to see the balcony. Weights scatter the floor to the side. A clothes line goes from one side to the other. Sanji sits back down on the couch. From his seat he can see all the movies and all of them are children's movies with some superhero movies too.
Why? With everything he's seen no one would believe Zoro leaves Megumi alone at night. She may be asleep but still. She could wake up in the middle of the night and want a glass of water or something. She could hurt herself trying to get it herself. Sanji lays down, head hitting the cushion. He moves his arm over his eyes. There he lay in Zoro's apartment, Megumi asleep in another room and he is just in his living room alone, in the dark.
He felt extremely tired. How hard was he working to feeling this tired? Or was he that worried about Megumi? Sanji looked at his watch, the light shining on his face. It is really late. He'll take a quick nap while he waits for Zoro.
When Sanji opens his eyes he's standing in front of a house. Different colored lights shining through the window. Music blaring so loud he could feel it vibrating on the floor. Groups of people hanging out around the house. What is this? As he ask himself that he sees Luffy running around, someone chasing him, a big grin on his face.
He remembers, this is a memory. A big party they went to before graduation. Sanji walks in to see all their friends there. Sanji hears a group of people chanting, "chug! Chug! Chug!" Over and over again. He turns to see Zoro, Nami and some others drinking.
"Sanji!" He turns to see Franky calling his name. Franky walk up to him with a speedo, gold chain around his neck and Hawaiian shirt. "You made it." Franky says with a smile.
"Yeah. Have you seen Susan?" Sanji leans closer as he yells. The music loud and paired with people talking and shouting made it hard to communicate without yelling.
"As in Susan La Cruz?" Franky questions. Sanji nods.
"Yeah. I came for her."
"Expecting to hook up with her? There are a lot of empty rooms."
"I think you got the wrong idea about me Franky. I was hoping to start dating her."
"Well then, she's over there. Sorry." Sanji wonders what he means as he follows Franky's arm to see him pointing at Zoro? He looks closer and sees behind him. Her beautiful curls being held by some random guy. Her chocolate eyes closed as her pink lips smooch on said random guys. Sanji remembers feeling so hurt that he drank, a lot. Why is he remembering this?
He walks up the stairs, upset as he walks past all the couples sucking each others faces off. He's been trying to find an empty bathroom but so far no luck. He looks around and spits, so shocked to find Zoro making out with... a guy!?
Sanji is woken up by the sounds of pots and pans moving around. He sits up rubbing his eye looking around. This isn't the party. He turns to see the children movies and remembers. He's at Zoro's. He stands up slowly. He doesn't feel as tired as he usually does, he actually feels refreshed. He looks into the kitchen to see Zoro moving around. He's in different clothes and a small towel is around his neck. Now paying attention his hair is damp too. He must have just taken a shower, when did he get back? Sanji walks up to him as he watch Zoro move around in the kitchen. "When did you get back?" Sanji asks, voice a little gruff having just woke up.
"Fucking shit!" Zoro shouts as he drops the pan in his hand and the spatula he held. Zoro jumps forward shocked. He grabs the biggest knife from the holder and points it to Sanji. Zoro stand ups straight and rest his arm to his side. "You scarred the crap out of me. You're still here?" Zoro asks taking a glance at Sanji then looks at the counter to put the knife back.
"Yeah, I feel asleep."
"MOOOMMM!" They both hear being yelled. Before Zoro can ask 'what' they see her running with a small kendo shanai in her hand. She sees Zoro not injured or afraid at all. She lets her hand fall having the tip of the shanai hit the wooden floor with a small 'clink' sound. "Good you're safe." She says wiping her forehead.
"If it was someone bad I would have been dead." Zoro says bending down to squeeze her nose her face scrunching up as he wiggle it. "No thanks to you." Zoro lets her nose go.
"Well if they did kill you they would have thought they finished their mission. That's why I waited, when they least expect it, I attack. They don't know what hit them." She says with a hand on her hip and head held high.
"That's my girl." Zoro says kissing her cheek. She giggles a little.
"Plus, I couldn't find the shanai fast enough." She stated. Zoro let out a laugh so sincere that Sanji smiled at the wonderful scene he just witnessed. Megumi looks over at the figure she just noticed. She stares at Sanji, who quirks his eyebrow brings attention to the swirl. Her face lights up. "It's the chef. Did mom pay you to make us breakfast?" She drops the shanai and runs to Sanji's feet.
"No, he was here last night watching you." Zoro leans the shanai against the wall before continuing his quest to make breakfast.
"While I sleep!" She says stepping away from Sanji.
"No." Sanji says quickly. "I was just making sure no one came in. I only checked to see if you were asleep." He explained, the way Zoro made it seem was like he was a creep.
"Oh, you were babysitting the house."
"Kind of." Sanji says smiling to himself.
"So you aren't here to cook for us." She looks down, her messy hair sticking out in awkward places since her hair was braided. Sanji stands next to her bending down to be eye level, well kind of, she is still a four year old and him a twenty-three year old. He still hovered over her on his knees.
"Do you want me to cook for you?" He asks. Zoro to busy cooking to hear what they are talking about. Megumi steps closer to Sanji to whisper in his ears.
"Yes, mommy needs a break. He's always cooking for us. I would but I'm too short and small." She looks at her feet sad as she clutched the hem of her pajama shirt. "Also, I don't know how to cook." She looks at Sanji. Sanji just smiles then giggles to himself. The last part does seem to cause problems when it comes to wanting to cooking. Can't cook if you don't know how.
"Come on Megumi, I'm almost done with breakfast. Go get dressed." Zoro says. Megumi looks down to see she's still in her blue pajamas.
"Right." She says running back to her room with the shanai. Sanji just stands there.
