15th chapter! I wanted to end the previous chapter with some humour :D I think you can guess there will be more and more ZoSan by every chapter I write ;) My Dear Beta is ready to sacrifice herself to read these ZoSan chapter's too because she is not a big fan of yaoi :_D From the next week my betas workload will get easier and she will get to read my texts: I have already 26 chapters written but in need of her check so I will get to update this fanfic probably faster again :D
...
Sara knocked gently on the door of the infirmary and waited for a permission to enter.
"Come in!" Chopper adviced and Sara opened the door.
"Sara-chan!" Sanji swooned over the young girl.
"Glad to see you are better, Sanji-san!" Sara said and smiled - it was a shame the gentleman couldn't see her smile at the moment.
"I am glad to hear you survived trough that mess!" Sanji continued his swooning and Sara blushed.
"It was all thanks to you!" Sara praised the blond."I don't know if I had survived without you!"
Sanji felt really praised but he had to act normal. At least as normal as he could when he had a beautiful woman close to him. "I would do anything for you, my dear!"
Sara blushed bright red and she was genuinely happy that the chef could not see her at the moment. She was feeling really embarrased, being so close to such a handsome, strong gentleman. She felt really loved just by sitting there and having the priviledge of looking the blond. "I...made you some soup if you would like..." Sara staggered and offered the bowl so that the chef could feel it in his hands. "I asked for your doctor's instructions of what should I make for you..."
"Thank you, Sara-chan! I will eat anything you give to me!" Sanji said and really hoped that he could taste the food flavoured with feminine love.
...
Zoro couldn't miss how Sara took every possible chance to spend some time with the chef. She was really flustered everytime they talked about Sanji and she acted all weird when she had talked with him. She literally danced behind the door.
The swordman didn't want to pay attention to Sara's behaviour as much as he was but he could do nothing about it. It was bothering him and the fact it bothered him made him annoyed.
He didn't know such small things could matter.
...
"LUFFY!" Nami shouted while kicking the idiot out of the kitchen. "GET OUT OF THE WAY, I NEED TO PREPARE FOOD!"
"But Nami ~ " their captain whined." I am hungry!"
"What's the point in getting hungry if you can't taste?!" Nami preached.
"Even if I can't taste doesn't mean I can't get hungry!" Luffy explained and for once the idiot was right. His stomach was grumbling and he needed something to eat before he would go nuts.
"But you ate just an hour ago!" Nami said in a strict tone. " How is Sanji-kun able to keep up with your appetite?!"
"Need any help?" Robin asked when she heard the ruckus coming from the kitchen.
"Robin! Save me from this idiot!" Nami almost begged.
"Should we ask our doctor for anesthetic?" Robin suggested and Luffy felt a chill run trough his spine.
"Not that stuff!" Luffy begged on his knees."It will make me feel all floppy!"
"Then will you behave, captain-san?" Robin inquired with an evil smile on her beautiful face. Luffy gulped deeply before nodding and grawling away.
"One problem solved but there is still dinner to prepare!" Nami cursed and crossed her arms under her chest. "How can I manage?"
"Well, my offer still stands if you are interested," Robin offered and Nami smiled at her.
"Thank you, Robin! I don't know what would I do without you in this crew!" Nami praised the archeologist who smiled gently.

Sanji heard the infirmary door open but he couldn't see who had entered the room. It felt pretty futile to use haki on their ship so he just sat there and waited for some sort of voice signal.
"Where the hell did the bathroom go?" He heard a very familiar curse of one lost-marimo.
"You lost again, Marimo?" Sanji teased the green-haired man and heard a small grunt escaping his rivals mouth.
"I am not lost, Curly-brows. I was just looking for bathroom,"Zoro tried to explain himself but it wasn't much of a use.
"So you were lost,"Sanji chuckled and could imagine how annoyed the swordman was.
"I wasn't!" Zoro shouted angrily but took few deep breaths to calm himself down.
"Need instructions?" Sanji asked almost nicely.
"Yes, please ~" Zoro said in a voice which caused shivers to Sanji. He didn't know the swordman could sound so...seductive.
"Can you even follow my instructions?" Sanji suspected.
"I am not as stupid as you might think!" Zoro hissed."At least I am not swooning after every woman I see..."
"WHAT WAS THAT?!" Sanji argued and tensed his body. He felt like fighting.
"You begging for a fight again, Ero-cook?!" Zoro said, rising his voice a little.
"That's just what I was thinking about!" Sanji threatened but made no move to stand up when the swordman just stood still.
Zoro sighed deeply and looked at Sanji." I am not going to fight you, not when you are injured. It isn't a fair battle."
Sanji blinked slightly but he was still feeling like fighting so he stood up to kick the idiot but ended up falling back to the bed, clutching his sides. To his surprise, Zoro had grabbed him and prevented him from falling too hard.
"I said I am not going to fight you," Zoro repeated and Sanji chuckled slightly.
"I am not as fragile as some woman, you idiot!" Sanji said and tried to push Zoro's hand away but the swordman's hold held. "Let me go."
Zoro almost chuckled at how the blond sounded. "I won't. "
An annoyed hiss escaped Sanji's mouth."Why?"
Zoro gulped at the sudden guestion. "I...don't know..." He said and fell silent. He didn't even know why he had bothered to catch the blond from falling. "It's that woman..." Zoro said and blushed. He was somehow really happy that the blond was blind at the moment.
"Ah?" Sanji voiced out before he realised the idiot was talking about Sara. "What about her?"
"I...don't know..." Zoro staggered. "Something about that woman makes me feel nervous..."
Sanji was surprised to see Zoro like this: he had admitted that he felt nervous about something to him of all the people on board! "She is just a woman. If she causes any trouble we can take care of it."
"Just a woman? We? You can't lay a finger on women so we can count you out!" Zoro noted and Sanji blushed.
"Well, even if she is 'just a woman' I doubt she is going to do something against us- - " Sanji guessed but was interrupted by the very famous pirate hunter.
"- - That's not what I mean!" Zoro hissed and stared directly at Sanji even though the blond couldn't see him."That's not what I mean..."
The whole situation was pretty confusing so after a moment of silence Zoro decided to get out of the infirmary and return to his training. It annoyed him how much Sara and Sanji affected his thoughts nowadays!
What the hell was that, Marimo?! Sanji cursed by himself but said nothing out aloud.
