So this is basically just the translation of my first ZoSan fanfic which I originally wrote in german. As english is not my mother tongue please forgive me my mistakes ^^'
The story takes place after the big mom ark and right before the wano kuni a...
It was already close to midnight as Zoro, for the 5th time this evening, went from the crow's nest in the direction of the galley, in order to get himself another beer. He had already drunk the other four bottles completely. It was Zoro's turn to do the night watch and somehow he had to keep his spirits up. Besides, the alcohol helped him to keep that damn cook from his thoughts.
"Maybe I'll even find something edible while I'm there," he thought to himself and turned around the corner, only to notice that lights were already burning in the galley. "Must be Luffy," he thought to himself and had to grin slightly. "How can someone be this hungry all the time?"
The green-haired swordsman just entered the galley when he stopped abruptly. He just managed to suppress a startled face when he saw the blond chef, dressed only in boxers and an apron, standing in the kitchen preparing food. "Now just don't act unusual," Zoro inculcated himself, putting on his serious, expressionless face as he walked towards the refrigerator. The blond chef remained focused on preparing the food and didn't seem to notice the swordsman at all.
"Out of my way, curly," Zoro growled unkindly, trying to get his attention. Just then, the blond man with the curled eyebrows wheeled around as if stung by a tarantula. "Z-Zoro?!" the cook sputtered, his cheeks flushed and his eyes wide in panic. Clattering, the knife he had just used to slice onions fell to the floor. Hastily, the blond cook picked up the knife again. When he straightened up again, all panic was gone from his face and eyes glittering with rage stared at Zoro. "What the hell are you doing here, mosshead?" he hissed at the swordsman, already about to threaten him with the knife he had just picked up.
"What was that just now?" flashed through Zoro's mind. "Did he turn red just now, or did I just imagine it?" He looked skeptically at the blond chef, who was furious and waving the knife in front of his face. Zoro didn't even notice as he was too deep in his thoughts. "Why are his hands shaking like that? It's not cold at all," he had the feeling that the cook was acting completely different than usual. So...unsure.
"OI, ARE YOU EVEN LISTENING TO ME!!!", Sanji snapped him out of his thoughts. "Mhm...", the swordsman replied curtly and continued his way to the fridge. He opened the fridge's door, but to his disappointment, he found no more beer in there. "Oi lovecook, where's my beer?" he asked gruffly. Now the blond chef seemed to completely explode. "YOU drank it completely!" he yelled at Zoro, slamming the knife down on the cutting board with all his might, making it bang loudly. "Now get the fuck out of my kitchen, spinach head!" he continued, yanking Zoro's wrist off the refrigerator door handle with one hand and slamming the fridge shut with the other, causing the contents to rattle loudly. That was one too many for Zoro. Furious, he grabbed the blond chef by the shoulders and pushed him hard against the fridge. "Don't touch me, curly-brow!" he hissed angrily at the cook. Immediately, Sanji tried to push the swordsman away from himself, but the latter was clearly stronger than him and grabbed the cook by his wrists to press them against the refrigerator door above his head. Zoro's gaze was ice cold and his eyes flashed angrily at the cook, expecting a counterattack at any time. But to Zoro's surprise this never happened. Instead, the anger on the blond man's face seemed to turn into fear. Sanji seemed to look at Zoro out of fearful eyes. Or was it something else rather than fear that resonated in the cook's gaze?

Suddenly, Zoro's anger was vanished as he stared into the young chef's panicked, flickering eyes. "Why does he look so cute all of a sudden?", Zoro couldn't take his eyes off Sanji's face. He looked at the blond hair that almost completely covered one half of the cook's face. Without thinking, Zoro moved his free hand to Sanjis face and stroked the strands of blond hair out of the face of the man in front of him. Sanji twitched slightly as the swordsman's fingers touched his skin and his cheeks flushed slightly. Zoro was blown away by the beautiful face of the young man before him. Had he ever seen a person this beautiful before? But there was still fear in Sanji's eyes. Zoro felt a slight twinge in his chest. He didn't want Sanji to be afraid. For some reason, he felt the need to protect him. He would have loved to wrap the blond chef in his arms to take away his fear. But he knew that it was he himself that Sanji was afraid of right now, and that knowledge hurt terribly. Zoro's gaze fell on the cook's mouth. It was slightly open and his soft lips were trembling with excitement. He seemed to be breathing through his mouth, for Zoro could clearly feel Sanji's warm breath on his face.
Wait...had Sanji's face been this close before? Suddenly, Zoro noticed that without realizing it, he had leaned closer and closer to the chef as his face was now only a few inches away from Sanji's. Zoro's eyes widened in panic as the realization hit him. He was just about to let go of Sanji when he felt the latter's hard knee crashing against his crotch. Immediately he let go of Sanji's wrists as he writhed in pain. All fear and uncertainty seemed to have completely vanished from the chef's features, and he glared angrily at Zoro again. "Don't you touch ME!" with another kick in the butt, the blond chef threw the swordsman out of the galley and slammed the door behind him.
Still completely perplexed and in pain, the swordsman made his way back to the crow's nest. "What the hell was that?", Zoro just couldn't figure the cook out. He had almost reached the crow's nest when Zoro's stomach spoke up with a loud grumble. "Damn, now I totally forgot about the food," he fretted. "I shouldn't go to the galley for the time being, but maybe I'll find something to eat in the pantry," he said, turning on his heel and heading for the pantry. It was near the galley, so he crept there quietly. Carefully, he pushed down the handle of the door to the pantry so as not to alert the cook. But the door would not open. "Is it stuck? How much bad luck am I going to have today?" he fretted inwardly, but didn't want to give up yet and rammed against the door with his entire body weight. And sure enough, the door opened with a swing. "There you go," he muttered to himself, making sure Sanji hadn't noticed him and quickly closing the door again behind him. Then he began to search around for the light switch with his hand. "Ah, there it is," he muttered quietly.
"NO!" he heard an all too familiar voice call out at the exact same moment as he pushed the light switch with a click. Zoro looked in the direction of the sound in wonder, but couldn't make out anything at first, as his eyes had not yet adjusted to the brightness. He held a hand over his eyes to protect them from the light, and when they had adjusted sufficiently to the brightness, he saw the blond cook with whom he had been arguing in the galley just five minutes ago. But he was apparently not in the pantry to get ingredients for a dish.
"D-don't look!" shouted Sanji, and again panic resonated in his voice. Zoro couldn't believe his eyes. There, not even 6 feet in front of him, sat the blond chef on the floor of the pantry, his back leaning against one of the shelves. He was still wearing only his apron and boxers. But wearing was the wrong word. The apron was pushed up, revealing parts of his belly, and his boxers hung just around his ankles. His hands were placed in front of his crotch as a privacy screen. Though not a good privacy screen. Zoro accurately recognized the erection behind Sanji's fingers which were trembling with excitement. The blond chef's cheeks had turned bright red and Zoro could see tears filling his eyes. "Wow," escaped Zoro unintentionally, who could not take his eyes off the young man's body in front of him.
"THISIS ALL YOUR FAULT!" Sanji sobbed, and now tears were streaming down theyoung chef's cheeks.
