Getting To Know You

Chapter 6

'Please Sanji-'

'No!'

'Please!'

'I said no Luffy, now bugger off!'

'Please please please please plea-'

'Fine. Now, will you shut up?'

'Wooooooo! Thanks Sanji, you're the best!'

Sanji crossed his arms, huffing in annoyance. He glared ominously at the loud, dark haired teenager standing in front of him.

'You don't mean it.' He pouted.

'Sure I do! Woooo foooood! I'll go tell the others!' Luffy chuckled. Pushing his hat firmly on his head, he ran out of the door at the speed of light, his sandals slapping against the tiled floor.

'Others, what others? Luffy! Get back here you moron!' The blond yelled.

As expected, Luffy did not come back.

Sanji growled as he stared at the closed door.

He was sat in his dorm, his desk littered with text books; which he had focused his full attention on for the past 2 hours. Well, until Luffy had come in.

Somehow, Luffy caught word that Sanji had the day off as his food technology professor was ill, and demanded persistently that he make lunch, because Sanji's cooking was the best. Surely lunch wouldn't kill anyone? He'd thought. But after agreeing, the strawhat failed to mention he was cooking for others, most likely a small army. Feeding him was like feeding half an army in itself.

Sanji ran his fingers through his hair, massaging his scalp. When he found out who'd told Luffy he had the day off he was going to kill them with his bare hands. Quite literally. He glanced at his watch, and read the time boredly with a sigh.

9:05am

With any luck he might finish quick enough and catch some time to himself before Brook, Ace and Franky came back. Maybe, Just maybe. But somehow he highly doubted it.

'Finally!' Sanji cried triumphantly, grinning at the table in front of him; piled high with freshly made snacks and drinks. He glanced at the clock on the wall in front of him.

11:30

After 10 minutes of scrambling around frantically and throwing things out of the cupboard, Sanji found three suitable containers to put the lunch into. He approached to the sink to wash up before he left, only to be greeted by a huge pile of dirty plates and cutlery.

'Freakin shitty kitchen.' He growled.

Oh the joys of university accommodation.

As he peered closer at the towering pile in the sink, the blond could see spots of green mould. It was moments like this when Sanji remembered why he hated using the shared kitchen facilities.

The plates were so full of mould, Sanji guessed they would probably grow legs and walk off before anyone could be bothered to clean them. Looking at the tiled wall above the sink he could see a thin layer of dirt and grime. Taking a glove from the worktop, he pulled it on his right hand and traced out letters with his finger.

-CLEAN UP ASSHOLES!-

He took off the glove and threw it at the wall, scowling and screwing up his face in disgust when it stuck.

That's so gross...

Satisfied with his message, he picked up the lunch boxes off the counter and strode out of the room on his long legs, kicking the door shut for good measure. He turned left and began the long walk down a dull, grey corridor until finally he reached a lift.

Sanji frowned as he stared at the piece of paper taped to its doors.

-OUT OF ORDER-

'God damn it!' He growled, huffing in annoyance.

He spun on his heel promptly, and turned to face the stairwell ahead of him, frowning. Inside his mind perhaps he hoped that if he stared at it long enough if would turn into a slide. Unsurprisingly, it didn't. Six flights of stairs later he finally reached the ground floor, and turning out the door he could see the sheltered seating area ahead.

As he turned the corner the sound of loud bickering reached his ears.

'But Nami, I'm hungryyy!'

'Luffy, be quiet!'

'Hey, Sanji bro!'

Luffy and Nami were sat side by side on a nearby bench squabbling with each other, whereas Robin was sat quietly in the corner, her nose buried into a book. Usopp and Franky were stood on the grass messing around with a set of water pistols, taking it in turns to shoot at the birds on a nearby bench whilst Chopper watched on amused.

'Sanji!' Luffy cried, his eyes lit up like light bulbs when he caught sight of the bags in his hands.

'Fooood!'

'Oi!' Sanji smacked Luffy's hands away, turning to face Nami and Robin.

'Nami, Robin! I have made you both lunch my beautiful maidens!' he swooned.

'Thank Sanji how kind of you' Robin smiled politely.

'Oh, yeah-thanks.' Nami waved him off, too occupied with her filing her nails.

'Hey what about us?' Usopp cried, rubbing his grumbling stomach in protest, Chopper nodded In agreement.

'Yeah yeah, I didn't forget, you hold your horses.' Sanji looked over his shoulder and frowned at the empty bench behind him.

'Hey, where are the three assholes?'

'Huh-assholes?' Usopp frowned in confusion.

'Oh you mean Zoro, Ace and Brooke right?'

'Well duh who else would I mean?' The blond snorted.

'Ace and Brooke are in town bro!' Franky hollered, pumping a fist into the air as he jumped on the table top.

'So where's moss head?'

Everyone shrugged.

'Damn idiot! Always gotta be a pain in the arse.'

'Perhaps we should wait for him before we eat?' Robin inquired.

'Ehhhhh wait? But I'm starving to death!' Luffy exclaimed dramatically.

'Luffy you're not starving!' Usopp yelled, bopping him upside the head with a rolled up paper from his back pocket.

'Urgh!' Sanji rubbed his forehead in frustration, he really craved a cigarette but he would never dream of lighting up in front of the ladies. Growling in annoyance he tossed two bags onto the bench top, and walked off in the opposite direction.

'I'll find the moron, don't forget to leave some food for the ladies idiots!'

Sanji sighed, now where could the Marimo be?

Peace and quiet.

Something very hard to come by, and was Zoro's definition of complete bliss. Zoro sat on a gym mat with his legs crossed and his eyes closed. Taking in a deep breath he let out a relaxed sigh and could feel the relaxation in his neck and shoulders. He was alone, sat in the centre of a large gymnasium on a gym mat with his legs crossed and a hand resting on each knee.

The rest of his class had left many minutes ago, he had chosen to stay behind as always to relax and stretch out. Abruptly the green haired teen heard a faint thudding sound, getting louder and closer before it eventually stopped.

'Probably cleaners' he thought.

Suddenly the double doors to the gym burst open and Zoro opened one eye to see a very pissed looking Sanji who turned to meet his gaze. Zoro sighed and closed his eye, he hoped if it was closed long enough the blond would fade into a dream, sadly he didn't.

'You!' Sanji hollered, pointing a finger accusingly in the teens face.

'What do you want shit cook?' he grumbled.

'Do you have any idea what time it is you stupid arse?' the cook growled menacingly.

Zoro snapped out of his relaxed state and open both eyes to stare Sanji directly in the face.

'The fuck? Don't talk to me like that shitty cook!' he growled.

'Eh, what did you call me?' Sanji fumed.

Zoro crossed his arms and stared at the ceiling, a bored expression on his face. Sanji gripped the bag in his hand tight until his fingers ached.

'Oi don't igno- ahh forget it!' he snapped, and reached into his jacket pocket for a packet of cigarettes and a lighter.

'Cant do that'

Sanji looked up to meet Zoro's gaze.

'Cant you read? And you call me stupid…' he smirked, pointing to a small sign nailed to the nearest wall, which read 'NO SMOKING' in big, bold read letters.

'Fucks sake, this is all your fault!' Sanji growled in annoyance.

'Eh, how?' Zoro raised his eyebrow questioningly.

Sanji stepped forward to the edge of the gym mate Zoro was sat on and thrusted the lunch bag in his hand towards his face.

'Your late for lunch you moron!'

With a sigh Zoro stood from where he had been sitting, rolling his head and shoulders in small circles to relief the stiffness caused by sitting still for so long. He stared at Sanji, dumbfounded; all this fuss just for missing lunch?

'Don't just stand there you ape, come on!' the blond huffed, grabbing Zoro by the wrist and pulling him towards the exit.

'Ow! Watch it curly brow' Zoro sulked, snatching his wrist away and rubbing it dramatically.

Sanji smirked at his discomfort, soon they passed through the gym doors and into a dreary corridor.

'Pansy…' he snorted.

'You say something shit cook?' Zoro growled, turning to eye the blond suspiciously.

Sanji just smirked.

'Oh nothing, nothing at all.'

'Stop asking me that!'

Luffy and his large group of friends all turned around, curiously watching two feisty blond and green haired teens bicker back and forth to one another as they approached the outdoor benches to sit down.

'Just give me a cookie damn it!' the green haired teen demanded, unsuccessfully trying to snatch a small container from the blond was waving out of his reach.

'No piss off! These are for the ladies, if you want a cookie buy one your damn self muscle head!'

'Don't be stingy you stupid-'

'Sanji you found Zoro!' Luffy grinned, his cheeks bulging as he spoke around a mouthful of rice.

'Don't eat with your mouth full you pig!' Sanji barked, 'Specially not in front of the ladies!'

Luffy smiled on whilst the others ignored his antics, after all when food was around Luffy was too preoccupied to care about anything else; especially something so small like manners. He reached out and pulled another rice ball from the container in front of him and stuffed it into his mouth ravenously.

'Zoro bro! where were you?' Franky asked, pointing his fork in Zoro's direction.

'Yeah man, we would have waited but you know what they say...' Usopp was about to finish his sentence when he was quick interrupted.

'FOOD COMES BEFORE FRIENDS!' Luffy roared, sending bits of rice spraying in all directions.

'Ewww gross!' Chopped shrieked, ducking under a table for cover.

'Not cool bro!' Franky exclaimed, hastily flicking bits of food from his hair and shoulder.

Robin however looked on amused, clearly content with watching Luffys usual antics. Nami merely rolled her eyes in annoyance, her eyebrows furrowed.

'Men...' she huffed.

Usopp and Zoro however were in hysterics.

'Ahahaha!'

Zoro held his stomach, roaring with laughter whilst Luffy brushed pieces of food off his shirt. Usopp lost his balance on the fence he was leaning on and toppled onto his back, sniggering uncontrollably. Sanji however was far from amused.

'Idiots! Don't encourage such uncivilized behaviour infront of the ladies! Oh Nami, Robin cover your eyes!'

'Sorry guys!' Luffy chuckled, reaching out for another snack.

Zoro and Usopp's laughter slowly died down and Chopper helped him to his feet, still picking bits of food from his hair. Zoro turned to face Sanji and crossed his arms with a frown.

'Don't be such a spoilsport'

Sanji growled, mumbling incoherent insults as he ate.

Stupid moss head…

He let it slide for now, after all he would get his own back later. Somehow.

'Nami, did you inform everyone of your recent phone call?' Robin inquired smiling brightly.

'Oh no! I forgot, thanks for reminding me!' Nami gasped, before breaking into a wide grin.

'What phone call?' Usopp asked, everyone else also looked curious. Nami stood up and turned to face the group.

'Vivi invited us to stay with her over the summer! Isn't that great?' she grinned.

'Are you serious?' Chopper screeched his eyes wide with excitement.

'Vivi I am coming my beautiful angel!' Sanji swooned.

Everyone began to talk excitedly amongst themselves, all accept one person; who sat with their arms crossed and eyebrows furrowed confused. Zoro was curious.

'Who's Vivi?'
