Chapter III

~ Sanji's POV ~

I made my way to the kitchen without saying a word to anyone and slammed the door behind me. I pushed my back up against the closed door, I slid down the door, resting my arms on my knees.

"That idiot.." I muttered to myself. A few minutes passed and no one followed after me, I let out a fairly loud sigh. I feel so stupid. Why didn't I pull away from that kiss..?

I touched my lips with my index finger, remembering how soft and smooth his lips were. It was unexpected, to say the least. I didn't think his lips were that soft. Maybe I could- NO! NO! NO!

I shook the thought out of my head. I don't like that marimo and I never will. With that, I stood up and looked at the clock seeing that it was getting pretty late in the evening.

"Well look at the time, probably should start preparing dinner."

Time skip...

"There we go," I uttered, looking proud of the table that I had prepared. He smirked and made his way out to the deck.

Where is everyone? He looked around his eyes landed on Luffy who was waiting for the signal that it was time to eat.

"Hey, Sanji! Is the food done yet, I'm starving~" Luffy got up from where he was sitting and started sprinting towards the kitchen. Before he could get any closer to the food Sanji stopped him.

"Luffy I can't let you pass, you will eat all the food before anyone else gets any." He looked down at the younger boy who was making a pouty face.

"Fine~ I'll save some for the others, now let me eat!"
He tried to get past Sanji however he knew better than to let him go anywhere near the meat.

"Luffy the sooner we gather the rest of the crew the sooner you can eat, besides I don't need you eating all the food while I'm out looking for them all."

"I'll be good, please just let me eat." Sanji started dragging his captain behind him as he went out in search of the others.

"We need to get everyone first, then you can have your fair share," I murmured and watched as his captions face lit up with pure joy.

"Really!?" He looked more like an immature child begging to be fed than any type of pirate captain. Sanji nodded and watched as water started dripping from the younger boy's mouth.

"Now help me gather everyone." He released Luffy from his grasp and dropped him down on the grassy floor of the sunny.

"Alright!" He shouted and took off like a hunting dog to go and gather everyone up.

***

I headed back to the kitchen, and a few minutes late the rest of the crew started entering one by one.

"One, two, three, four, five, six, seven" Sanji started counting to make sure everyone was there when he noticed that someone was missing. If they don't get in here Luffy is going to eat their share of dinner.

He headed out to find the last person Nami, Robin, Chopper, Luffy, Ussop, Franky, Brook, me. Of course, it had to be him, we're missing the green-haired idiot.

I went back into the kitchen and scooped his food on a plate, started climbing up to the crow's nest where I assumed he would be training. I could feel my heart start to pick up its pace as I peeked into the room. My eyes scanned around the room and finally caught a glimpse of his green hair in the distance. I climbed the rest of the way up and started to approach the moss man.

"Hey, you alive?" I asked, he was asleep, typical for him always sleeping. He always looks so peaceful when he sleeps.

Should I wake him, or let him sleep? I put his food on a barrel and kneeled to look at him.

He had nice tan skin, and even know he would never admit it he love Zoro's moss-like hair, it always looked so soft, like a nice soft bed of grass.

He glanced at his lips, he ever so slightly blushed at the fact that he was able to touch those lips with his own. Before he knew it his lips were an inch apart from the sleeping marimo, he was leaning closer without realizing it.

A dark red blush formed on my face and I turned away. in the corner of his eye caught a glimpse of something, there was a towel that had a dark shade of crimson red all over it, and on the floor there appeared to be some type of flower petals?

Maybe one of the ladies gave him some flowers? But why would they be squashed on a towel?

"Oi, what do you think you're doing?" He turned back to be face to face with Zoro's threatening eyes staring at him.

Zoro yawned causing tears to build up in his eyes. The sun coming through the window reflected the sun's orange beem causing Zoro's eyes to glisten a beautiful orange color.

"You going to respond or just stare?" He snapped me out of my thoughts and back into reality.

"Oh, Uhm." He stumbled with his words trying to find the right thing to say, his heart rate accelerated at an alarming rate. He regained his composure and retrieved his plate from off the barrel.

"Here I brought you this, didn't want Luffy to eat all of the food before you got some." Zoro took the plate of food. Why did I word it like that!? It made me look like I was worried about him.

"Thanks, curly," Zoro uttered with a mouth full of food.

"Don't talk with your mouth full of food it's impolite." Sanji scolded Zoro as he glanced up at me, and we gazed into each other's eyes for a moment before he went back to eating his food. I another looked at the red towel wanting to ask about it, however, I figured it was for the best if I didn't mention it.

He started towards the ladder and climbed down as the wood creaked beneath his feet.

"Hey cook, wait a minute." Zoro chimes in before he could make it fully down the ladder.

"Yeah, moss head?" I stopped in my tracks.

"Do you believe in the hanahaki?" He set his fork down and looked at me more seriously than he did before.

"Well I would have to say no, I've never seen it with my own eyes, why do you ask?" For some reason he looked disappointed in my answer, he picked up his fork again and started eating.

"Nothing forget it." He mumbled, I shrugged it off and continued down the ladder.
