It had been to long, it's become unbearable. He wants to see his mate. It had been so long since he's seen Zoro, so long since he's smelled Zoro, so long since he's touched Zoro, scented Zoro. It has been four days.

Four days! Four days, that's 96 hours, or 5760 minutes, or 345600 seconds since he last saw Zoro, the love of his life. He can't take it anymore. He must see you Zoro, must touch Zoro.

Sanji peaks down past his feet as he lay on Zoro's bunk bed. They seemed worried about something, but he didn't know about what but he didn't care about it. He was getting warm and sweaty. He can't hold it in anymore. He felt Zoro in the infirmary. The ladies had told him after dinner four days ago that Zoro should be sleeping in the infirmary to heal. Of course Sanji agreed, he wanted to let his mate heal fully before doing anything more. He went to sleep planning the next days meal so his mate can heal. But when he woke up he got ready to make breakfast for his mate and the others he found out the door is lock. He couldn't get out of the room. Sanji felt like a caged animal, he didn't like it but he could still feel Zoro, he knew that he was safe. As time went by he started to feel more of Zoro. He could tell more about what Zoro is doing, if he was resting or not, eating or sleeping, even going as far as feeling Zoro's emotion.

Sanji looks away up to the bottom of the top bunk.

Zoro.


Zoro look at Franky standing in front of the door to the galley then at Brook who stood in front of the other door. He felt very lonely without Sanji, without his arms, his heat, his smell. It's been four days but it feels like it's been years since he's seen the blonde. He was starting to feel unloved or abandoned by the blonde. It is a feeling he doesn't like and the only way to stop the feeling is to be wrapped in the blondes arms and smell but he knew that won't be happening. He also knew that Sanji is also stuck in his area. They are being kept away from each other.

He doesn't know why, they haven't done anything wrong or that would disturb and bother the others. Chopper had told him that he needs to rest a little more before he is fully healed so he rested, ate what he was given with no complaints. But they still wont let them be. He's fine now, still has the bandages around only because Chopper hasn't come to tell him he can take them off.

Zoro rest his head on the pillow, it was getting very warm in the room. His face is getting flush, and the need to see Sanji started to get unbearable. He needs Sanji. Zoro closed this eyes so he could focus on feeling the blonde.

He could feel Sanij trying to feel him.

Zoro sat up with frown on his face. What is he doing? He's not some princess that can't do anything. He's the swordsman of the strawhats, he's not going to sit down waiting for them to complete whatever plan they are doing. He's gone down fighting and that's not going to stop now.

With a fierce look on his face he gave a look to Franky who looked back at him shocked. Slowly Franky fell to his knees as Zoro stood up. With Franky out he turns around to Brook who started to play music wanting to trick Zoro with an illusion but the swordsman knew his trick and that made him angry. It hasn't been that long since he unlocked conquers haki like Luffy but it seems he can use it. He let out a large burst of conquers haki that got Brook down, Zoro carefully set his violin down in a safe place. He turned around and walked out the door. To his mate.

Sanji sits up at the burst of haki Zoro let out. He let out a growl, if his mate is getting away then so is he, what kind of mate would he be if he didn't.

Nami shivered, she rubbed her arms remembering the time on Seabody when Rayleigh used his conquers khaki. It was the same feeling but who? "Nami-!" she heard Robin shout but when she turned all she saw is Sanji then darkness. Robin stared shock at what Sanji had just done. He actually hit Nami, a woman. She look at Sanji who glared at her, he bared his teeth. She stepped away, backwards until her back hit the wall. She brought her hands up to hold him down, Chopper wasn't done, they still need time. Robin didn't get the chance to as she felt her consciousness fading as a large pain throbbed in her stomach and head. She hit the floor and her vision went black.

Sanji turns away from the ladies, nothing and no one is going to get in his way. He didn't have time to look for the key to unlock the door so he kicked it open. With the door open he ran out and on deck he saw Zoro standing there.

Finally, Zoro is right there. Sanji walk to him as Zoro gave him a smile. Sanji wrapped his arms around Zoro, pulling him close to his own body. Their heat mixing together, smell mixing together again.

They stared into each others eyes, the blonde breaking contact first, grabbing Zoro's hand then running away, off the Sunny and into the forest away from the people who are trying to keep them away, what they have just done not fully registered in their mind. They don't even know what they are going to do, all they know is that now they are together again and no one will get in the way again.


Nami groaned, her head hurt as she got up off the hardwood floor. She turned her head around trying to remember where she is and what she was doing. She saw that she is in the boys bedroom, which is weird because she never goes inside, she has no need to go inside ever. She turns to the sound of someone groaning. It's Robin. She is also down. Nami went to help her up. As she helped the older woman up she remembered what they were doing.

They are supposed to guard Sanji, keep him away from Zoro. Though now she isn't fully confident that she can keep the blonde in place. He has no problem hurting them, it seems.

"Are you okay?" Nami asks. Robin nods.

"I didn't think Sanji would do that." she answers as they stand up. They have seen the blonde kick the boys, and they always felt sorry because it always looked like it hurt, so much so it made their face cringe at the sound of his shoe hitting the back of someone's skull. At the same time they are glad they will never feel that. Looks like they were wrong. Also Usopp is pretty strong to be able to handle a kick from Sanji. Like they thought Luffy and Zoro are monsters.

"Think Franky and Brook are okay? If Sanji got out I'm sure Zoro did too." Nami says, she and Robin shutter at the thought of what Zoro could do. If from how Zoro fights the marines is any indication Franky will need medical attention and Brook will need milk. They aren't sure how Brook deals with the end of a brutal fight. They make their way to the infirmary as Nami try to contact Chopper.

After some hesitations they walk into the infirmary room. They are given the shocking sight of the shipwright and musician on the floor. There is no blood, they are just passed out. Which is good but the question his now long will they be like that? They have a situation and there is no way the two girls can handle both Sanji and Zoro.

"Hello?" Chopper finally answers.

"Good, you finally answered. We have a situation. Sanji and Zoro got away. And are missing. I'm guessing they went into the forest." Nami answers.

"Franky and Brook?" he asks worried.

"Just passed out." Nami answers as she watch Robin turn Franky around. Her eyes spot something in the corner of the room. "Zoro doesn't have his swords." Nami points out.

"Do you need help?"

"Yeah, send over Usopp and Luffy." Nami orders. As they wait they try to get the two to wake up.
