"You gonna go back to sleep?" Usopp asked.

Sanji shook his head, "There's no point even trying. But go back to sleep, I don't mind."

Usopp smiled, rolling back over he fell into his own dream.

Sanji chuckled to himself as the loud snores began to erupt from the long nose's mouth. He wasn't going to get back to sleep, that much he knew. The whole Thousand Sunny house had been pestering him on trying his cooking, and he decided there was no better time than then. He had a quick shower before dressing and then made his way to the kitchen. He looked at it in disgust. He had refused to cook for the house at the beginning of the year and as a result some amateur was in charge of the kitchen. He got to work at once; organizing and cleaning the kitchen.


Zoro had left the peacefulness of the dorm and had taken a shower himself before going to relax in the common room. He had listened to the conversation the cook had been having with Usopp and his brow furrowed at the thought that Sanji still hadn't moved on from that bastard Ace. Yes he was Luffy's big brother and Zoro and him had trained together in the past, but he had broken Sanji's heart and the swordsman was sure that he was still hung up about it.


Sanji hadn't noticed Zoro had sat down on the sofa in front of the kitchen, his brain had been warped by the complete and utter disfiguration of the kitchen. Zoro, however, could hear the shuffling behind him, presuming it was Luffy on his nightly search for meat, he took no notice.

"Iya!" Sanji exclaimed as he came to the sink.

It was full of dirty, untouched crockery.

Didn't these people know how to treat kitchens?! He groaned. Zoro's head snapped back to see Sanji fussing over the kitchen.

"Horrraaa," Zoro chuckled.

Sanji looked over to the swordsman who was laughing at him. He smiled on the inside but decided to insult Zoro just to rile him up.

"Baka marimo," he said.

To his surprise, Zoro just laughed.

"What's so funny?" Sanji snapped.

"Just the fact that you care so much about that stupid kitchen."

Sanji stared at him.

"What's wrong eroi cook!?" Zoro laughed.

Calmly, Sanji walked over him. Lifting his foot he kicked Zoro over the top of his head.

"Ow!" Zoro shrieked.

"Shut up moss-head, you'll wake up the whole house," Sanji smirked.

Zoro quickly stood up, he leapt over the back of the sofa and came crashing down on Sanji.

"Get off me marimo!" Sanji yelled as Zoro continued to wrestle him.

His eyes held a spark of something, Sanji couldn't quite put his finger on it but he knew Zoro was simply teasing him. There was the sound of footsteps as the rest of the dorm ran into the common room. Luffy, the head of the house was amongst them. Sanji grinned at the attention their little fight had gained and he kicked Zoro hard in the stomach. His weight shifted enough that Sanji was able to stand up and kick him in his side.
