Captain's Order's Kiss and Make Up!
~X~
"Shitty Swordsman! Get out of my Kitchen!" Sanji shouted.
"I'm NOT in YOUR kitchen! I'm in OUR galley!" Zoro shouted back.
The crew of the Thousand Sunny groaned as another shouting match took place. Ever since the crew set sale Zoro and Sanji did nothing but fight. It's been a week and they were heading for a new island. A 'Romantic' island according to Nami. Everyone in the crew was excited about the new island and hoped it would calm their cook and swordsman.
Nami had enough of their bickering from day one. She stayed away from them as much as she could, or she would probably kill them. Usopp was next, when Sanji had accidentally distorted one of his inventions while going after Zoro, the sharpshooter had it and begged someone to do something. So Robin tied them up for the day.
After that Brook became angry when he was tossed overboard too many times when he was caught in one of their fights. Chopper was next as he was tired of using all of his medical supplies on the two idiots. Robin was next, the two were still paying for her punishment. They had bumped the book she was reading and the woman was not pleased after.
Franky and Luffy were the only ones not fed up with the two of them. Franky had been too busy working in the ship and Luffy was Luffy.
"This is just how they show one another how much they love each other!" Luffy shouted, laughing as he listened to Zoro's and Sanji's bickering.
"It's not Luffy! They need to Stop!" Nami shouted.
Luffy was about to argue when Zoro went flying through the galley door, smashing it to bits.
"I said Get out!" Sanji screamed from the other side in the kitchen.
"Gah!" Franky yelled. "Guys! You are wrecking the ship!" the cyborg yelled from where he stood.
Zoro stood up then his eyes glaring at the cook from where he stood. He was going to kill the bastard. "Get off the ship! Luffy we need a new cook, this one had been broken from the start!" Zoro demanded.
"Me! You are the one who is always lazy and do nothing! You get off the ship!" Sanji fought right back.
The two bickering crew-mates flung forward in attack mode once more; Sanji kicking out and Zoro blocking it with his swords. The two of them fought like crazy ignoring the others as if they were the only two on the ship. The two twisted and turned as the grabbed at each other, pulling at one another's clothes.
They separated and glared daggers at one another. Sanji was turning red from how angry he was. Zoro had a vein popping from his forehead as he planned the cook's death in his mind. The carefully circled one another and Zoro pulled out his bandana and tied it on his head.
Sanji noted that Zoro was getting serious, and he smirked lighting a cigarette. Now things were getting dangerous. Never had Sanji fought Zoro serious before. It was about time they tested their strengths. Sanji was determined to win, and he could tell so was Zoro.
Without warning the two sprang into action, Zoro swung his sword forward in an attempt to cut Sanji clear across the chest. Sanji blocked with his leg and kicked back. Zoro skidded in the grass and jumped again. This fight the two were aiming to really hurt one another.
"Land!" Nami cried, hoping it will stop the two. She was completely ignored; even Sanji ignored her as he leaped forward to kick Zoro square in the head.
"They are going to kill each other!" Robin shouted. "Luffy this fight is too serious."
Luffy watched as his Nakama fought and even he could see enough was enough. Robin was right, the two of them were too serious this time, and if the fight ended badly one of them would regret it. "SANJI ZORO ENOUGH!" Luffy shouted jumping in the middle of the fray.
Both Zoro and Sanji stopped in mid attack, looking at their Captain in surprise. Zoro lowered his swords and Sanji dropped his leg. They looked around at their crew and noticed everyone looking at them in worry. Sanji coughed.
"What's wrong Captain?" Sanji asked, stuffing his hands into his pockets.
"You two! Once we get to that island I want you both off my ship!" Luffy demanded.
"WHAT!?" Zoro and Sanji said in union.
"That's right. I want you both off the ship, until you both kiss and make up!"
Nami, Usopp, Franky, and Chopper fell over at their Captain's orders. Was he for real?
"How Romantic," said Brook from behind them. Robin only smiled.
"Wait what?" Zoro asked, pulling his bandana off now that the fight was over.
"No arguments. I want the two of you to spend the whole time we are at this island and not return to the ship until you kissed and made up. Captain's Orders!
"And it was decided. There was no arguing when Luffy used those two words, even if it was something stupid.
Zoro and Sanji looked at one another, not sure what to say. Sanji slumped his shoulders. "Right, okay."
"Fine," Zoro said and walked away.
~X~
Sanji and Zoro were forced to rent a hotel room the moment they got on the island. They were told they had five days to Kiss and Make up before they had to set sail again. If they didn't then another punishment would be made and Robin was in charge of it. Neither Sanji nor Zoro wanted that, so they agreed to spend the five days together.
Sanji was frustrated. He wanted to spend the time on this new island with ladies at his side, not the shitty Marimo. However this time he couldn't argue when Luffy said "Captain's order." So there was no choice in the matter. Even if he would disobey Luffy's orders Zoro wouldn't.
With a heavy sigh, Sanji tossed his bag on the floor and plopped onto one of the beds. He watched as Zoro did the same and he snorted.
"What?" Zoro asked, glaring at the blond.
"This is your fault," Sanji blamed, tossing his spent cigarette into an ashtray.
"My fault? How the hell is this my fault?" Zoro demanded.
"Because you started the fight! You just had to barge in when I was cooking didn't you?" Sanji argued.
"Hey! All I wanted was something to drink! You could have given me a glass and something and I would have left! No, you said no and told me to fuck off!" Zoro declared.
"Well when I say no you should listen! I was busy making snacks, I had a hot pan in my hand I couldn't just put it down for you!"
"Yeah snacks for the girls! You are full of shit, you know that? There are nine people on the ship and you only care for two us. If Nami or Robin had walked in and asked for something you would have bent over backwards for them. Anyone else, forget it. It's always No! Get lost, fuck off and often a kick to the door. I'm sick of that bull shit!" Zoro growled.
"Well the ladies should be treated that way! They are like goddesses! Beautiful and elegant!" Sanji shot back. "You lot can take care of yourselves."
"So can the girls! You are just an idiot! Robin is a grown woman who has been doing things for herself since she was a little girl. Nami was a little girl when she was stealing from pirates! They can take care of themselves just fine. All you do is downgrade them. Or make a fool of yourself and do as they say when they are being lazy!"
"Being Lazy? Look Marimo-" Sanji stared.
"Yes being Lazy! The more Nami and Robin don't help with things around the ship the more WE have to. Namely you. If you are too tired, or if any of us are too tired to protect ourselves because others slack off then that's a problem, a weakness! We as Pirates CAN'T have that." Zoro was fuming angry now. He stared the Cook down. He was determined to make his point across.
"Well if they are lazy what about you? You sleep all day, or your busy growing muscles! I get why you train, but do you really need to sleep half the day? I can name a few times there were storms and YOU didn't help!" Sanji shot back. "You have no right to call Nami and Robin lazy!"
"Hah! I do help! I do way more shit then those two put together! Shit I get dragged around islands helping YOU half the time. I don't see Nami or Robin lifting a finger to help you or anyone else for that matter. Mainly Nami! She is the laziest of us all!"
"I don't want Nami or Robin to help! They don't need to they are woman! Woman shouldn't have to do such labor!"
"They are Human! Who the fuck cares if they are man or woman? They aren't much different than us! What the hell makes them so delicate? Nami and Robin can take care of themselves! You don't need to do shit for them outside of battle!"
Sanji was taken back from Zoro's words. The swordsman was right. The girls were human just like he was. What made them different wasn't their strength just their gender. He sighed and ran a hand through his hair. This was becoming even more frustrating.
When Sanji didn't say anything Zoro sighed. "Why do you think woman are incapable of doing things on their own?"
"I don't know."
"Sure you do. From what I understand you were taught to never hurt a woman. Okay, I can understand that. Heck I can respect that to a degree, but it doesn't tell me why you cherish them so much." Zoro questioned.
"I don't know. I never thought about it. Let's drop it okay?" Sanji said and he laid on his bed and turned so he wasn't looking at the other man. He needed to think.
Zoro watched Sanji for a moment and then looked away. Maybe he'd try and talk to the cook again later. It was best not to argue anymore. They were supposed to make up, not argue. Instead Zoro thought it was best to just take a nap.
~X~
A few days passed and not much happened between the swordsman and the cook. They talked a little during dinner, and sometimes late at night but nothing more. They didn't argue nor did they apologize. Things were rather calm between the two.
Now with only one night left, Zoro and Sanji were becoming restless. If they went on the ship without making up they would have to deal with a worse punishment. Neither of them wanted to meet Robin's wrath. Zoro also didn't like the fact they were ignoring Luffy's order this far. He didn't like to disobey his Captain. He had made a promise and he wasn't about to break it.
So that night after dinner Zoro decided to take action in his own hands. "Cook," he said after tossing away his trash.
"Yeah?" Sanji asked, blowing out a trail of smoke. He glanced at the swordsman from where he was laying on his bed.
"We have to talk, and stuff," Zoro said, feeling awkward.
"Yeah, I know," the Cook said and sat up. He looked at Zoro.
"Well, is there anything you want to say?"
"Actually, yeah. I've been thinking about what you said. About what you asked the other day."
"Yeah?"
"Yeah, well," Sanji sighed heavily. "Well maybe I put in my head that if I can't harm a woman I need to protect them. Then that doesn't really answer why I have to dote on them all the time does it? So I thought some more on why I am the way I am. Well, no one really taught me how I should treat a woman. Zeff only told me I could never harm them."
"So you just amused that was how you needed to treat woman?" Zoro asked curiously.
"Sort of. When I started going through puberty things got a little confusing. I always seen Zeff with woman over the years and some of the other Cooks, they used to talk about romancing woman all the time. I was always told to treat a woman right and you'll get rewarded later. Though, I never really was. Sure I went on dates, hell I even kissed woman plenty of times, but, something was always off," Sanji shrugged. "Something never felt right. I thought I should try harder, women are beautiful."
"You never thought about being yourself?"
Sanji shook his head. "Well over time as I got older I realized that my crazy behavior actually scared away a lot of woman. I grew fond knowing that, so I continued. I'm attracted to woman, but the thought of being with one? Fuck, I don't think I could do it."
Zoro stared at Sanji shocked. Sanji didn't want to be with woman? What did that mean? He felt his heart start to race. "So, you like woman, but not enough to be with one? Are you saying you prefer men?"
"I don't know. I mean, I've noticed men before. I've checked men out just as much as I have with woman, but I never thought about being with one of them either. I mean, I never want to scare away guys. I act myself around them. So maybe I do want to be with a guy," Sanji couldn't believe he was saying this and to the Marimo no less.
"Wow. So, what does this have to do with us fighting all the time?" Zoro asked.
Sanji looked up and met Zoro's gaze. "You frustrate me."
"Huh?"
"I've thought about it, and you get on my nerves more than anyone I've ever known. You frustrate me to no end, and without even thinking about it, seeing you angry it, just," Sanji blushed. "It turns me on," he whispered.
"What?"
"It turns me on!"
"I heard you, I'm... shit."
"And I'm sorry okay. I know I'm more of an ass around you, and maybe I should have realized it before. But when you say I don't care about anyone else on the ship that's not true. I care about everyone. I kind of showed that when I step in front of you at Thriller Bark."
Zoro swallowed. It was true, Sanji didn't want him to die that day. That was one reason why Zoro had been such an ass towards Sanji as of late. He hated that the blond wanted to save his life. Unlike Sanji, Zoro knew he had feelings for the Cook since he joined the crew. He always wanted to tell the other but couldn't because he thought Sanji was far too straight and thought it useless. But now, now things were different.
Zoro stood up and took the three steps over to Sanji's bed and sat down. "Well, I'm sorry too. I was out of line this last week."
"Okay," Sanji said and again made eye contact with Zoro. "Now what."
Zoro smirked. "You heard the Captain. We need to kiss and make up."
"Oh, you're right," Sanji said and returned the smirk.
Grinning, Zoro leaned forward and captured Sanji's lips with his. The kiss was soft and brief but worth it all. A second kiss was shared after that, followed by a third. The rest of the night Zoro and Sanji had another fight. This one for dominance and under the sheets. Zoro had won but this time, Sanji didn't mind.
The next they returned to the ship. Both the cook and the Swordsman felt lighter, happier even. Now and then they still bickered, but it was only for sport. Their real fights happened at night when they were alone. These fights weren't bad however, but the best fights of their lives and they woke up smiling because of it.
The End.
