Chapter 3

ATTENTION: DURING SANJI INTERNAL FIGHT, IT WILL OBVIOULY BE HIM AND HIS CONCIOUS SPEAKING. TO IDENTIFY BOTH SANJI WILL BE HYPHEND ('I AM SAD') AND HIS CONCIOUS BOLD (HEY). OKAY?! CONTINUE ON LOVELIES

In the kitchen, Sanji was fuming. He was not mad that the wall next to the kitchen door was patched up with wood. Franky will fix it properly later. He wasn't even mad that breakfast wasn't fully made yet meaning he was behind schedule. What he was mad about was Zoro. Not mad at him but mad at the argument they had. He knew it was coming but the damn idiot-

"Ughh." Sanji slammed the knife into the potato he was cutting. He took a deep breath and continued to cut them properly. All the while he was having an internal argument with himself. Again.

'How could he even- I haven't done anything to make him think like that? I've been handling the situation pretty good, haven't I?'

Well that would depend on what you call good. I mean he had a point you know.

'There were no solid facts though. He just went on accusing and accusing. He didn't even consider how I felt when he said them.'

You didn't exactly care how he's felt for the last month.

'I cared.'

Uhuh.

'I did. I do .I care about him. It just not a good time right now.'

You don't have to tell me. As your conscious, I know everything about you.

'Right. I forgot.'

Whatever. You need to focus on the matter at hand. You need to tell him what's going on.

'I can't tell him. He'll think I'm a pus-'

Please. That's the last word I need you to say. I'm not sure if you noticed but you're more of a dick than that.

'A gay joke. Very funny. Except I'm not gay.'

What do you mean you're not gay? You've been with him for the past se-

'HE would never approve of that. Hell, he wouldn't approve of this.'

Just tell him you damn Ingr-

"Sanji?" A soft, small voice pulled Sanji away from his internal argument. Personally, He was happy that the conversation ended.

Turning around, Sanji tried to act calm. "Yes Chopper?"

"Is everything alright?" Chopper asked as he eyed Sanji closely.

"Of course it is. Breakfast will be done in a moment." Sanji answered as he retrieved plates for the table.

Chopper took the plates and set the table while Sanji got the food together. "That's not what I meant." Chopper shot a glance at Sanji. "I meant with you and Zoro."

Chopper saw the way Sanji froze. After a moment, however, Sanji continued as if nothing had happened.

"Me and Zoro are fine. We just had a fight. That's all." Sanji answered as he moved bowls to the table.

"He mentioned a therapist." Chopper added.

"He was mad." Sanji said as he set the bowls down. He turned to grab the pots to put food on the plates. While doing this, he said "He didn't mean it."

Chopper stared at Sanji's back for a moment before speaking again. "Zoro always says what he mean."

Without looking at Chopper, Sanji moved towards the table to put the food on the plates. "Chopper. Go tell everyone breakfast I done."

Chopper stared at Sanji for a second. When he realized that Sanji wasn't going to speak more on the topic, Chopper let out a side. He proceeded to tell the crew that breakfast was ready but to wait a few minutes before going into the kitchen. No one argued. They all knew that Sanji needed to get himself together before it was safe to enter.

Hearing the door creak, Zoro opened his eyes. He saw the girls come in quickly. He began to sit up but Nami signaled that they were only there for a quick visit resulting in him leaning on his arm instead.

"We are sorry we couldn't bring you your breakfast, Zoro." Robin said lowly, but loud enough for him to hear. He had forgotten that they were going to bring him breakfast but, true to her word, there was no plate of food present.

"Sanji insisted on bringing it." Nami said with a bit of anger in her voice. He assumed he was still angry.

"Which I why we will be going now." Robin said quickly. She grabbed Nami's arm and rushed them both out. Before the door closed, Zoro heard Robin say "Best of luck." Nami muttered something similar mixed with the death threat of a certain cook.

Falling back on the bed, Zoro let out a sigh. He was way too tired to do anything. Better yet, he just didn't want to deal with Sanji. A moment later, the door opened again. Sanji walked into the room with the plate of food and sat down. Sanji watched as Zoro sat up. When he was fully seated, Sanji handed over the plate. Zoro gladly took it and ate. All the while Sanji watched.

Leaning back in the chair near the bed, Sanji watched Zoro sadly. As he stared at him, a voice in his head spoke.

Tell him.

'No. Not yet. I have to make sure this is what I want first.'

You're going to screw this up. Royally. I know it.

'I got this.'

"Why the hell are you watching me eat?" Zoro asked, bringing Sanji back to reality.

"Is it a crime to watch you eat?" Sanji responded.

"No. But its creepy." Zoro said as he continued to eat.

"I'm Sorry." Sanji said. He watched Zoro ignore him and continued, "I just have a lot going on right now. I want to- no. I need to do this no my own." Sanji felt Zoro's eyes on him. "I mean that it's a problem that only I can fix. I didn't want you to think I didn't care."

Sanji looked Zoro in the eyes. "I do care. I need you to know that. I promise that from now until forever, I will always care about you. But I need to know if the feelings mutual. I need you to promise me they are. "

"You already know how I feel, Cook." Zoro muttered.

"But I want to hear you say it." Sanji said.

Zoro felt the feeling in his gut but hid his worry about it. "This is Cheesy."

Sanji watched Zoro put his plate to the side. "Please. Just do it."

Sighing loudly, Zoro looked Sanji in the eye and spoke. "I promise that from now until forever, I will always care about you."

"Good." Sanji smiled wide. He then went to grab the plate but instead leaned close to Zoro. "Do you forgive me now?"

Zoro fought the smile that was forming on his lips. "I'll think about it."

"Why can't you just forgive me, Marimo?" Sanji said as he touched his forehead to Zoro's.

"Because you're an asshole." Zoro said with a smile.

"You're a bigger asshole." Sanji said.

"No I'm not." Zoro said moving his head back a little.

"Oh, but you do." Sanji said, making Zoro's eyebrows raise. "Its way bigger since I've been fucking you."

Zoro scowled and cursed when his cheeks got hot. Sanji took to laughing at his Marimo.

"I won't get over the fact that green and pink go so well together." Sanji said between laughs. He was referring to Zoro's hair and his blush.

Zoro's scowl deepened. He went to push Sanji away from him but Sanji felt that coming and pushed Zoro onto his back.

Still laughing, Sanji said "Aww. Are you mad at me again?"

"Shut up, Cook!" Zoro yelled. He got ready to yell more but was silenced when Sanji started tickling him.

Zoro fought to keep his voice down. He was happy that the kids were mostly hard sleeper but he still fought to lower his voice.

"Cook-"Zoro couldn't get much through with hi constant laughter. When Sanji first found out he was ticklish, it went on forever.

"No way, Marim-"

Sanji was cut off by the voice of Franky. "We reached the island, bros."

His voice came from the night stand, Sanji opened it and answered the snail shaped phone. "Thanks Franky."

"No problem Sanji-bro." Franky said. "Nami want you down here thought Sanji. ASAP."

"But Why?" Sanji asked.

"Because I said so. Now get your ass up here and let Zoro rest, And when I see him, he better look happy cuz' if not I'll rip your ba-"

Nami was cut off by Robin. "Please come to the deck Cook-san. And were very sorry about that swordsman –san." After a moment, a click was heard. It signaled that the call disconnected.

Sighing loudly, Sanji turned towards a worn out Zoro. "Looks like I have to go."

Leaning over, Sanji pecked Zoro on the lips before grabbing the now dirty dishes. He then left the room. As soon as he left, Zoro let out a sigh. He got up and fixed the bed. He then laid down and thought about the way Sanji acted today. The only explanation was that he suddenly became bipolar.

"He needs a doctor." He said out loud. "ASAP." With that, Zoro turned over and went back to sleep, too tired to do anything else.

I hope you enjoyed this chapter. You got to understand that Sanji definitely has a problem and it had something to do with a 'him'. Don't worry, you won't have to wait very long to find out what really wrong with Sanji. Chapter 4 will be up soon so there won't be a long wait. With graduation and summer approaching I'll have way more time for this. Thanks!
