21th chapter! 21 is my favourite number, btw :D I hope you are patiently waiting for yaoi :3
...
Sara walked on the deck alone. It was a calm night with no wind at all. She was trying to think calm and think like an adult to convince Sanji of...something.
Then she saw a skull in the dim light of candle and got startlet. "DON'T SCARE ME LIKE THAT! WHY ARE YOU HOLDING A CANDLE LIKE THAT?!" Sara shouted when she recognised the familiar skeleton.
"I just found it interesting! Yohohohoho!" Brook laughed.
Sara couldn't believe they had someone as childish with them as the skeleton. He was acting like a teenaged boy at some times! "How old are you? Twelve?" Sara inquired.
"Proud eighty years!" Brook answered and Sara's jaw fell.
"That old?!" Sara hissed, a little bit shocked by the new piece of information. Then she decided to try and change the subject." What are you doing out so late? Isn't it Robin-san's watch today?"
"Listening." Brook answered shortly.
"Listening for what?" Sara inquired.
"Wind, waves, everything. It's like music to my ears! Even thought I don't have any ears! Yohohoho!" Brook exlained like a proper visionist.
Sara laughed politely."Oh yes, you were the musician, right? Do you get inspired like this?"
"Pretty much everything inspires me!" Brook nodded."Music is everywhere!"
Sara thought about it for a second. Well, she didn't know much about music so she couldn't understand it. "Why is a musician in a pirate crew?"
"Eh?" Brook voiced out.
"Well, I mean that...it's weird somehow..." Sara admitted and Brook laughed.
"Luffy-san decided that pirates need to be cheerful and sing! He wanted to have a musician in the crew before a doctor! Luckily the fate didn't let him do so when they met Chopper before me, yohohohoho!" Brook explained and Sara nodded slightly.
"By the way, who was the first one to join?" Sara asked suddenly.
"I think it was Zoro-san."
"But he was a bounty hunter, right? How did he..." Sara remembered.
"..stop being a pirate hunter and become pirate instead? I don't know about that but I think he has made some sort of manly promise to someone and he is now chasing after his dreams!" Brook guessed.
Sara fell silent for a while before she headed towards the girls bedroom.
"Ano,Sara-chan..." Brook stopped her."May I ask you something?"
"What is it?" Sara asked and realised the mistake she had made.
"Could you show me your panties?!" Brook asked, voice full of hope.
"Eighty years old skeleton is asking me to show my panties?! NO WAY!" Sara said and kicked the idiot further from her. It was pretty easy because the skeleton was only bones - he was pretty light.
...
It was time for the breakfast but Zoro didnt' arrive in time. Everyone suspected that he was lost again but Sanji knew he was doing his morning training in the crow's nest.
"I will get that idiot, you can start eating," Sanji sighed and forgot the fact that nobody was watching after Luffy. Well, maybe Nami could handle him.
Sanji climbed up and stepped into the crow's nest. Zoro was lifting another one of his humongous weights. Sanji stared at him for a while, trailing one drop of sweat with his eyes when it traveled trought the stronger man's torso. He gulped slightly at the sight.
"What? You have something to say?" Zoro asked, grinning a little when he had noticed the look the chef had given to him. Sanji blushed slightly and cleared his throat.
"I just came to inform you that the breakfast is ready," Sanji said and Zoro nodded. He stared at the weights and was about to lift it with his hands but realised he shouldn't do it with them. Instead, he kicked the weight of the ground and catched it with his foot. He saw the swordman rolling his eyes: he was probably thinking that weights shouldn't be lifted like that.
"What? You have something to say?" Sanji asked but didn't even expect for an answer. "I got it off the ground and I believe only that matters."
Zoro sighed deeply and stared at the chef."Close enough."
Sanji grinned before Zoro moved to his direction and grabbed him from the waist. He almost got off the balance. "Don't move or we will both be crushed beneath that weight," Zoro reminded Sanji, pointing at the weight who was above their heads and the only thing keeping it there was Sanji's leg.
"Let me go so that I can get it down," Sanji asked almost nicely and tried to reason with the other man but Zoro had some other plans.
He started to place small butterfly kissed on Sanji's neck and ears, trying to distract the man. It was actually pretty enjoyable to tease the blond like that.
"You are blushing," Zoro noted and Sanji turned his face so that Zoro couldn't see it.
"Should I let go of this weight? Maybe the hit could turn you into less of an idiot!" Sanji hissed and swallowed hard. His throat and mouth were getting dry.
"Do as you wish. I am ready to catch the weight if you can't keep it up," Zoro grinned and Sanji knew what that look meant.
"Is this one of those stupid competitions again?" He asked to make sure of his assumptions.
"I guess it is," Zoro said, grinning wildly. He continued assaulting the blonds neck and moved lower to his collarbone. He used his other hand to touch the other man's sides and back slightly. He felt Sanji shudder under his touch, just slightly.
That idiot...Well I know he can catch the weight if I loose my focus but I can't loose! Tsk, why did he have to make this into a competition?!
Then Sanji felt his puncture wound starting to itch. In a bad way, of course.
Don't tell me I re-opened it again?! Chopper is going to kill me and tie me up into the bed!
Zoro realised that the blond was getting distracted by something else than his mouth and hands this time. He looked up at the chef and recognised the very familiar look of the tough man: he was trying to hide the pain. "Did your wound re-open?"
"Eh?" Sanji voiced out, not sure if the swordman had really managed to read his expression so well. He had no time to answer, however, when Zoro slid his hand under his suit jacket, feeling the warm blood oozing trough the wound.
"Idiot", Zoro grumbled,"Just let that weight fall down. I will catch it and we will get Chopper to look at your wound."
"This was supposed to be a competition, remember?" Sanji smirked slightly.
"Then I will give up if that makes it easier for you to let go of that weight."
"Yeah yeah, I mean WHAT?!" Sanji shouted when he realised what the other man said."YOU?!Giving up?!"
"If it's the only way to get you stop this competition," Zoro grinned and Sanji dropped the weight.
"Then the victory is mine," Sanji grinned widely.
"Whatever," Zoro hissed before he stepped closer to the chef to whisper something to his ear."I will take my victory in one way or another, trust me."
...
"What took you guys so long?!" Nami cursed when the duo arrived to the kitchen. "Luffy managed to steal your shares of food!"
Sanji blinked, kicked the gomu-idiot and smiled at Nami."Don't worry, my dear Melorine! I can cook something simple for just the two of us!"
"Just the two of you?" Robin chuckled and smirked at the two males.
"I am a chef so I can't let this idiot starve!" Sanji said, pointing at Zoro who was following him like a puppy by some unknown reason to the other crew. The crew changed looks of "what-the-hell-is-going-on?" but nobody had enough courage to ask anything when the swordman sticked his tongue out at Sara.
"Ah, Chopper! This idiot is bleeding again~" Zoro said and whistled when he noticed that the blond was trying to avoid Chopper's preach.
"WHAT?!" Chopper shouted angrily and lifted the chef to his shoulder, dragging him to the infirmary.
