Lay it bare

Confusing Feelings

it was a sunny day in the pirate world , the birds were singing and the harsh ocean waves slammed against the sides of the sunny go , Luffy sat on the figurehead watching the clouds sway back and forth dancing in the sky.

He sat there for a while admiring the beauty , before his stomach started to growl aggresively , he let out a snicker before he jumped off the figurehead and screamed "Sanji!!!! Food!!".

Sanji was seated at the kitchen table,legs crossed,peeling some potatos as he heard luffy's voice , sanji let out a sigh and replied to the rubber man "Just wait a few more minutes and it'll be ready" he yelled in response.

About 30minutes had passed and sanji popped his head out of the kitchen and looked towards Nami who was leaning over the railing and humming to herself.

"Nami-swan~ the food is ready please call the others and come eat before it gets cold~" Nami looked back and smiled at him "Thank you Sanji-kun , everyone ! lunch is ready!!"

Sanji made his way back into the kitchen and washed his hands.

Luffy,Usopp and chopper came running into the room followed by Robin,Nami,Brook and franky.

Sanji looked around the door waiting for a certain moss ball to enter the room and demand some booze , fifteen minutes passed and zoro still hadn't entered the room. "Has anyone seen zoro?" Sanji questioned looking at the crowd.

"ah he was asleep the last time when i went to borrow something from his room" usopp replied.

Sanji sighed "Damn marimo can't even wake up on time"

"anyway, sanji-kun , aren't you going to eat?" Nami asked.

"I will , once you guys are done" he said with a smile.

Its true that Sanji and Zoro are typically enemies but he couldn't help but worry about his nakama.
Zoro trained so much that Sanji was concerned he would hurt himself without eating properly.

he let out another sigh pushing his back against the counter Robin noticed that Sanji seemed down and she smiled at him which made Sanjis heart thump.

After a while everyone left the dining room and Robin stayed behind , she looked at sanji and asked "not eating yet? we're all done" she said with a small laugh.

"you're worried , aren't you , about zoro?" Robin asked while getting up and walking towards Sanji.

He perked up and let out a half assed laugh "ah....I just want everyone to enjoy the food i make"

"and?is that it" Robin questioned.

Sanji smiled at her "That's it , Robin-chan"

"Alright" she said while exiting the room closing the door behind her.

Sanji sat at the table and stared down at his plate of food slowly losing his apetite.

A few minutes passed and suddenly the kitchen door swung open , Sanji glanced to the side and saw Zoro entering the room.

He glanced back down trying to hide his frustration , Zoro sat on the other side of the table and looked at Sanji.

"It's....cold" he muttered.

The swordsman tilted his head in confusion.

"Your food is cold...Stupid Marimo" Zoro was surprised, was the cook genuinely sad?

"You should eat on time , its not good for you" Sanji said grabbing his plate and getting up , he placed the food in the cooler and shut the door , grabbing Zoros lunch from the counter and placing it on the table infront of him.

"You're concerned about me? Oh that's rich , you've gone soft Curly brows" Zoro said in a mocking tone though he didn't mean it in a rude way.

Sanji felt his heart get heavy, he scoffed "yeah well i'm sorry ,my mistake"

The swordsman was surprised by his response.

Sanji turned away and attempted to leave the kitchen when a strong hand gripped his wrist.

"Cook wait" Sanji pulled his arm away and glared at zoro.

"wait huh" Sanji scoffed "That's right i've been waiting for you for hours and this is your response !? how heartless can you be!?" He yelled.

Zoro stared at him unsure what to say "Cook...i'm sorry , i didn't mean to offend you"

"forget it zoro" The blonde man once again attempted to leave but was grabbed and pushed against the counter , he grunted in pain as he felt his back hit the edge of the counter. The swordsman was standing , towering above him , he could hear his breath , he wasn't sure why but this excited him.

Zoro looked down at sanji "I really didn't mean to offend you in any way" but Sanji just snapped at him , pushing the swordsman off and leaving the room.

Zoro stood at the entrance unsure what to do later sitting down to finish his food.

After leaving the kitchen the blonde man went to take a shower , he turned the shower head and rubbed some shampoo into his hair while staring blankly at the wall.

"tch , that moss head bastard, who does he think he is..."

suddenly sanji felt his face getting hot and he let out a sigh.

why....do i feel like this....It's not like I like him...

Right ?
