Desperate Once
by Chibimono Akuno

To Sanji, love was about lavishing his attention and time on the women of desires. A kiss on the hand, flowers, and a sweet treat made with all his heart were showered endlessly upon those dearest to him. The cook made himself a servant to love and devoted himself to being walked on, bossed around, and practically enslaved to any woman that cared to bother with him.

It disgusted Zoro and just plain confused Luffy.

"Why go through all that trouble to be used as a doormat?" Luffy asked from where he perched on the rail in front of the galley. He watched as Nami practically ignored the swooning, fussing, crooning love cook offering her a glass of sweet wine.

Zoro blinked at his captain before he barked out a laugh. "I guess some people are just desperate," he grinned devilishly. After all, he was getting some and the stupid cook was not.

With a swat at Zoro's arm, Luffy chuckled. "That's not nice, Zoro. You were desperate, too."

Sputtering and cursing rather creatively, Zoro could hardly voice his denials in a coherent sentence. The rubber boy was amused by this, laughing with each fractured and frustrated word out of the swordsman's mouth. After a particularly exasperated "Grah!", Luffy took pity on his first mate and grabbed him by the ears to drag him into a long and affectionate kiss.

Zoro's aggravated growls were now please hums as he enjoyed the kiss. And as they parted, with Luffy leaving a little lick to Zoro's lips, Zoro could not quite remember what he was originally flustered over, nor did he care.

That is, until he saw Sanji, standing just beyond Luffy's shoulder, glaring kitchen knives with his visible eye while clutching the wine bottle to the point of nearly bursting the glass. The look of contempt and jealousy across the cook's face made a dopey, smug grin sprout to Zoro's thoroughly kissed lips.

"Stop showing off, asshole," Sanji spat, before stomping his way into the galley.

Okay, Zoro had been desperate once. Desperate to get one up on that shitty love cook.

But as Zoro leaned back in to kiss his captain again, he realized quite happily that he got more out this than just pissing off Sanji. And that was like killing two birds with one stone, if you asked him.
