Nosebleed

A/N: This chaper contains some 'not so innocent' innuendos

I walked into the kitchen in the next morning, already smelling the aroma of freshly baked buns and coffee.

"Good morning, my beautiful princess!", I was greeted by a way too enthusiastic Sanji, who was just about to cook some eggs. "Mornin", I mumbled rather tired. How can someone be this energetic in the morning, I asked to myself. I surely wasn't ready to deal with the cook's overwhelming personality at this early hour. "I'm off to college now", I say while grabbing a bun as a snack to eat on the way and turned to leave. "Wait", I turn around as Sanji grabs my arm to hold me back. I instantly feel guilty as I look into his disappointed eyes. Shit, can he please stop being this cute. "I made you breakfast", he points at the freshly set table. "Would you do me the favor of eating with me?", his politeness plus his sad and begging eyes nearly killed me. I knew I needed to reject his offer as I was already running late for my first lecture. "I'm so sorry, Sanji-san. But I can't, I'm already late", I looked at him rather guilty. As I said this his face looked like I just crushed his heart in a million pieces. I had never felt worse in my life. "Oh okay, it's okay", he said, looking like it was definitely not okay. "Can I...can we eat together tomorrow?", he added looking at me with the most dramatic puppy eyes I had ever seen. Literally no one would have been able to resist them. "Sure, can you wake me up at 6:30 then? Then I will have time to eat with you", I smiled at him reassuringly. As I said this his whole face lit up and the brightest smile appeared on his face. "Of course! Anything for you, Y/N-chan.", his eyes were sparkling with joy and anticipation. "But...are you sure that you want me to wake you up? I mean...is that really okay for you?", he blushed rather cute asking this. I got a bit surprised by his reaction. For an all-time flirter he seemed to be pretty innocent. I giggled a bit: "Sure, I don't mind." I gave him a teasing wink and started laughing as I saw him blushing even brighter. "Well, I'm off.", I waved him a goodbye and rushed through the door. Only five minutes until my first lecture of the day, I was definitely gonna be late. Shit.

The second day at college was a lot more stressful. I got scolded for being late from my math professor Mr. Garp and had a really tough time to understand all the complicated stuff that my bio-medicine teacher Dr. Law taught us. At least I got to meet some more really nice guys. They were a bit weird, honestly. One of them was obviously chronically lying, while the other would be over energetic and couldn't think about anything else but food. Sanji would probably really like him, I thought. Nami was a pure beauty, I honestly got pretty jealous, but her geographical knowledge was just out of this world. It was amazing.

As I came back from to the dorm after college I found only Zoro in the kitchen, doing the dishes. "Oh, you're doing the dishes", I looked at him surprised at first, but then I started smirking knowingly. Zoro literally jumped at my comment, and I could see his face turning slightly red. "Yeah, got a problem with it?", he asked while trying to keep his cool. "Oh no, of course not. Did you just eat breakfast?", I asked a bit confused. "Yeah, just woke up. Curly left me a note, that I should eat it before it would go bad", he answered while handing me a small note.

Yo moss, eat it or I will kick your ass. – Sanji

It read on the small piece of paper. I giggled at their rather cute nicknames.

"I see, where is he anyway?", I asked. "The stupid cook? He's at his part time job probably. He won't be back before midnight, I guess.", Zoro answered while he continued to do the dishes. "His part time job?", I asked a bit curious. "Yeah, a small restaurant, I think. Don't know actually. Ask him if you want to know", the green haired man really was hard to talk to. Suddenly my eyes widened as I realized what he had just said. "Wait, did you say midnight?", I asked rather shocked. "Yeah, why?", Zoro now looked at me a bit surprised, as he didn't quite understand my reaction. "He said that he wanted to eat breakfast with me in the morning. But if he works until midnight...He will only have like, I don't know, 4 to 5 hours of sleep", I look a bit guilty. "Oh, he will do it anyway. You have seen it, he would do anything for women", I could see Zoro's expression going cold again. "Plus, he doesn't sleep much anyway. He's pretty much a workaholic. I really don't get him." As Zoro said this, I remember yesterday evening as I had seen Sanji late at night still working on his recipes. Guilt filled my stomach. I really should have rejected his offer and just let him have his well-deserved sleep. Now I wouldn't have the chance to tell him anymore, since he wouldn't be back until late. I for sure needed to ask him for his number next time. "Don't you have lectures today?", I asked Zoro to change the topic and distract myself from feeling guilty. "Hmm? I guess I have, yeah...", he answered not quite interested in the topic. "But you just didn't go?", I asked pretty much surprised and confused. "Yeah, I overslept. Didn't feel like it anyway.", he said. "Oh okay...", I really didn't get this guy. "I'm gonna go train", he said and left me standing alone in the kitchen. I sighed.
