What's Not To Love

Ch 41

The table was filled with various kinds of foods. Soups, sandwiches, salads and as much meat as they had left from what he could find. The crew was surprised at the layout. It wasn't as much as they usually had, but it was way more than they thought they were left with. Not to mention that the gallery was practically glistening.

Zoro was the first to recover. He reached over to grab the other baby carrier from Franky who, in turn, looked at Zoro confused. Silently, Zoro nodded his head in the direction of the stove. Franky looked up to see a struggling Sanji. You could practically see the annoyance radiating off of him. He was in front of a black pot that seemed to also be a part of the meal. He reached forward and tried to reach for the handles, only to wince in pain and tilt the pot a little before struggling to let it fall lightly on the stove. The slender man held up his injured arm and flexed his fingers a few times before twirling his wrist. From the glare on his face, it looked like Sanji was about to go for another challenge.

Franky quickly got what Zoro wanted him to do and let him take the carrier. "I got it Sanji-bro." Franky said as he rounded the table.

The rest of the members, everyone other than Luffy, finally went to take a seat at the table. Zoro made sure both of the twins were strapped in their high chairs as everyone got comfortable. Two small plates were slightly slammed on the table near him, causing Zoro to take a glance at the cook. His curly brow was twitching as he tried not to lose his shit. If it was one thing that Sanji tried to avoid hurting, it was his hands, so Zoro could only imagine how frustrated the blonde must have been.

Sanji sat with a sigh and watched as the crew started to eat. He turned in his seat towards the twins and placed a plate on their high chairs. He turned towards them, getting ready to feed them.

"What are you doing?"

Sanji looked over at the green haired man. He looked back at the twins, their food , the spoon in his hands before looking back at the swordman. "What does it look like, Mosshead? I'm feeding the twins." He rose the spoon a little higher just incase the gold eyes didn't see it in his hand. "I should be asking you what you're doing?"

Zoro frowned. It couldn't be that hard to tell that he was planning on doing the same since he's usually the one who does the feeding. Zoro decided to just leave Sanji to feed one of the twins and turned to the other. Facing Dai, he took a spoonful of the baby food and tried to feed it to the half-awake, half-sleep baby. Before the food could meet his mouth, Zoro's arm was stopped by a thinner arm. Taking a deep breath, Zoro turned and silently glared at the man. Now what?, he thought.

"I'll feed them." Sanji took the spoon from Zoro and put it back on the plate. "You need to eat."

Zoro stared at the man. He couldn't be serious. It wasn't like he doesn't eat while feeding the twins. He feeds them some and then himself. What was the big deal today?

Sanji sighed looking up while he held Kai's spoon in the air, stopping from Zoro's intense glare. He turned towards him. "You didn't eat this morning at all. I did. You have to make sure you eat to get your energy back." Zoro opened his mouth to say something. "Zoro, please. I'm serious."

Zoro was biting his tongue. He could feel stares on the side of his face and it was starting to irritate him, along with the cooks annoyingly caring side. Zoro turned to his plate and ate without saying a word, stealing glances at the blond to make sure he was eating and at the twins to make sure they were eating and weren't falling asleep. He didn't feel like arguing about something so little and right now, anything could become an argument with the blonde.

Nami cocked her head to the side a little as she chewed her food slowly. She saw the whole interaction and leaned over to Robin to make sure she wasn't the only one watching. The raven haired women smiled slightly at the orange haired womens silent question. It was good that she was focusing on something else right now.
