19th chapter! I loved the ending of the previous chapter! So now there has been a kiss! And it will slowly develop into something bettter ;) There was few days delay in the releasal of this chapter because I visited my relative and they didn't have internet which could have been used on my laptop :D

Sanji: Robin-swan, did you really spy on us?

Robin:*chuckles* maybe I did, maybe I didn't?

Zoro: Just answer the guestion, woman!

Sanji: DON'T SPEAK TO ROBIN-SWAN LIKE THAT, YOU MARIMO!

Zoro: Whatever. *turns his attention to Robin* you are a pervert, aren't you?

Robin: There is only one hentai in this crew and that's not me.

Franky: Are you talking about me? *does his super hentai-pose*

Sanji: *sighs deeply* Unfortunately yes.

Robin: *walks away*

Zoro: Hey Robin! You didn't answer the guestion!

Robin: *turns her head towards the swordman, smiles slightly and leaves the room*

Sanji: Robin-swan is so mysterious! So charming ~

Zoro: Idiot...

Sanji: Ah? What was that!?

Zoro: *murmures* nothing...

...

Sanji hadn't even noticed when his puncture wound had started to bleed again. It was probably when the green-haired idiot had pushed him against the wall to give him a fierce kiss but he couldn't be too sure about that. Chopper was preaching at him again, trying to remind the man to be more careful.

"What did you do this time to re-open the wound?" Chopper asked innocently and Sanji blushed.

Oh if you only knew...

"It was that idiot's fault..." Sanji finally admitted, skipping the fact they had kissed.

"Zoro's? I will punch him when I see him because of this, trust me!" Chopper vowed and Sanji gave his permission to punch the man for him. He grinned slightly at the idea of confused swordman shouting something like "what the hell was that for!?"

The doctor left the infirmary to look for the poor swordman and Sanji had some time to think of the events which occured earlier that day.

Well, that kiss explained a lot...Now I can understand why he doesn't like Sara-chan but if we think like that he should also hate Nami-san and Robin-swan which he doesn't...Is it only because Sara-chan is returning my flirt?

Sanji couldn't understand why it mattered so much.

That jealous Marimo...Well, I admit he might be a little cute when he sulks like that but it's not fun if he acts like that all the time...But still...it's probably the first time someone is feeling jealous over me ~

He didn't really want to admit the fact that jealous Zoro made him somehow happy.

The idea of Zoro being gay never even crossed my mind but the idea of all-the-ladies-man suddenly turning gay is pretty absurd!But well, anything is possible I guess...

...

Zoro was back to his training. Everyone guessed something must have happened to calm the man's nerves so that he could go on with his training. Nobody except Robin, however, knew what excatly had happened between the two males. She often chuckled by herself and didn't bother to explain herself to other people on board but everyone just thought she was being her usual, weird self.

It was somehow surprising how often the swordman found his way to the kitchen to help the ladies. The fact that Zoro was being almost a gentleman and Sanji stopping his constant swooning meant that something must have happened between the two males but neither of them spoke a word about it. Well, as if Sanji would tell everyone that he had kissed a man and Zoro would admit that he had turned into a softie.

Sara was playing around as usual, trying to gain Sanji's attention but noticed that Sanji was not his usual self.

"Excuse me, Sanji-san, but did something happen?" Sara asked a straight guestion.

"Ah?" Sanji voiced out, wondering how the girl had noticed the difference in his behaviour.

"Well, you are not flirting with girls like usual. I bet something must have happened!" Sara explained and Sanji swallowed hard.

"The fact that you are worried about me makes me extremely happy, Sara-chan!" Sanji tried to swoon like usual but failed. "It's probably something you would never expect..."

"Did you fight with someone?" Sara guessed but Sanji shoke his head. " Then what?"

"I don't know if I should tell you...you are a little bit too young to handle these sorts of things..." Sanji tried to get out of the situation but it resulted into a slap to his face.

"DON'T YOU THINK THAT I AM SOME STUPID TEENAGER!" Sara shouted, sounding a little insulted. "Did that swordman do something?!" Sara asked, insisting a proper answer and Sanji blushed.

"Well...you could say that..." Sanji admitted but didn't want to explain any further. Well, he didn't want to anger a lady any further either.

Sara slapped Sanji again and kicked the infirmary door open. On her way to somewhere she pushed Zoro out of her way violently, not really caring if the man got injured or not.

Zoro just looked after the raged woman and then he looked at the broken infirmary door. He stood up slowly and got a closer look at the door."You really angered her this time." He lifted the door back to it's place but they still needed Franky to fix it. He was somehow astonished by the fact that the woman was strong enough to break trough the door.

Sanji just sat there, stunned by the woman's behavior.

"Your behavior is causing some real trouble this time," Zoro stated suddenly.

"Eh?" Sanji voiced out, not really sure what the swordman meant.

"She has a crush on you. Are you blind or something?" Zoro explained and it looked like Sanji had had no idea of Sara's feelings. "Your constant flirting is making her believe that she has some hope. She is just a young girl whose hormones are playing tricks on her!"

Sanji hadn't even realised the situation. Had he really made a young girl in her teens fall in love with him? It had never happened before: other women had just pushed him away and called him pervert but apparently Sara was different.

"I...didn't even think of that..." Sanji hissed and turned his head away from the swordman but the stronger man grabbed his jaw and turned his face back to his direction.

"What made her so angry?" Zoro asked, staring at the slightly red slap-marks on the blond's face.

Sanji blushed slightly at the guestion and tried to turn his head away but he couldn't: the swordman's grip was strong. "Well, I just said that I didn't want to tell her anything because she is so young..."

Zoro thought about the cook's words for a while. "That's almost the same as telling that she is too young for you. She thinks that you rejected her."

Sanji was surprised how calmly the swordman spoke and how well he could see trough Sara's behavior. "Eh, I would have never thought that Marimo would be this good at reading other people."

"Maybe it's my hidden talent," Zoro joked.

"That would be something new!" Sanji chuckled and Zoro of all the people blushed slightly at the sight.

The swordman finally let go of the blond's jaw only to grab him into one fierce kiss. Sanji had no time to react to the sudden action so he just ended up mirroring the stronger man's movements. He was surprised to notice the swordman ending the kiss pretty soon but it was only for another purpose: Zoro only moved lower to plant small kisses on his neck. Sanji tensed at the new feeling but didn't pull away.

"Sorry, did I surprise you?" Zoro inquired carefully when he noticed the other man tensing under his touch. He didn't want to scare the other man.

"I didn't know you were jealous and impatient type..." Sanji teased, not wanting to reveal how flustered he actually was.

"Whatever",Zoro hissed,"But you should say your real feelings straight to her face and not try to avoid it! The chef I know is not a coward!"

Sanji thought about it for a second. "Is this meant to be a competition?"

Zoro grinned widely. "Maybe it is, maybe it isn't."

"Then it's a poor one. What's the point in this competition?"

"Whether you can split your feelings out to her or not. I vote for no," Zoro explained.

"Then I vote for yes. Do we have a deal?"

"I think we have a deal."

"Good."

"Good."
