Not Just A Punishment [SLIGHTLY EDITED]

early symptoms [zoro pov]

I woke up to one hell of a morning. The sun probably woke up with one bitchy attitude as it's shining so brightly it's impossible for any being, even insects, to survive and the seagulls were so noisy today. They're probably complaining about the heat. I got up from my white futon, yawning and I realized Sunny was in a motionless state. I looked outside and saw an island in front of me. I then left my room and checked the ship but no one was around. Or so I thought no one was around.

At night when the stars
Light up my room~
I sit by myself~
Talking to the moon~~

Try'na get to you~~
In hopes you're on the other side
Talking to me too
Or am I a fool~

Who sits alone
Talking to the moon~

I turned to the singing that was in the kitchen. I knew I had to find out that beautiful voice who sang. I snuck up to the kitchen doorway and peeked through. I was expecting it to be Nami, Robin or even Luffy, which would be surprising. However, it was the one person that I'd never think of. Sanji stood behind the kitchen counter, humming gracefully and smirking. His hands delicately prepared the food, synchronising with the movement of the knives and the symphony of the ingredients.

I'm still holding onto everything
That's dead and gone
I don't wanna say goodbye cause
This one means forever~

Now, you're in the stars
And six feet never felt so far
Here I am alone between
The heavens and the embers~

Oh, it hurts so hard~
For a million different reasons
You took the best of my heart
And left the rest in pieces

I stood there, listening to him and gazing at his hands. I didn't want to look at his face because I might get angry and probably start a fight with him. He looked... undeniably sexy in that apron. Wait. Why am I- No, I'm not gay. I mean, I could be but for Sanji?

"Ahem."

I flinched at blue eyes looking at me and Sanji was oddly close to my face. I leaned back a little in shock.

"What do you want? Where are the others?" I asked.

I mean, I can't just tell him his voice is beautiful or he's sexy. He'd be grossed out.

"Nothing. The others left us to spend their little vacation. We can't get out of the ship because of the punishment for that fight," He answered.

"That means we're alone, huh? I'll be in my room then," I said, taking my leave and quickly walking towards my room.

As soon as I arrived at my room, I couldn't help but blush. Fucking hell, that was damn awkward not starting a fight with him. It felt so weird and... new. I couldn't tell if the sun's just too bright that he got sunburnt but I noticed a light shade on his cheeks.

"Eh, must be the sun. Right?"
