Zosan

Chapter 2

Zoro POV
In all honesty I just wanted to find a bar and get piss drunk so that I have the balls to talk about everything that happened today because I have a gut feeling that there was something more hiding behind what happened today. Plus I don't know why my heart is getting all fluttery whenever I think about it. I want it to stop because I've never felt it before and it feels weird.

We were about to land the ship but Luffy just jumped out and started to run into the nearby forestry. This meant that San- I mean that damn cook and I would be stuck together since I am unable to get back to the ship by myself. For some reason the cook had a look of discomfort on his face when he came to realise this, I couldn't help but feel bad for some reason. When he realised that I was picking up on his mood he changed it back to his normal nonchalant self as we left the ship. It came to my attention that I had been staring at the cook again when he was waving his hand in my face once we reached a village. Upon realising I turned away and could feel my cheeks redden from embarrassment by being caught staring. "We've reached a village. I'm going to go and get the supplies I need and you can go into that bar over there" the cook said while pointing at a small building he continued "I will come back over there once I have what I need. I will also get the booze you like, just pay me back later." I agreed and started to go over to the bar and ordered my favourite drink which is sake. I was left alone with my thoughts and only one thing was playing. It was how Sanji had kissed my cheek earlier that day. I shook that from my head as I realised I acknowledged the damn cook's name inside my own head. Honestly what has gotten into me.

Sanji POV
Once I saw that Zoro had gone into the bar I let out a shaky breath that I didn't realise I was holding. I was so nervous for when we had to go back to the ship and stay there alone because I have a gut feeling that Zoro is going to bring up the kiss and I have no idea what to say to defend myself. I shook the thoughts from my head as I started to make my way to the market to get the food supplies that I needed until we reached another island.

I was walking through the market looking at some stalls that piqued my interest like the exotic meats and fruits. The meat had a variety of land animals but also lots of fish from different seas. I decided to get a selection of fish from varying seas to test out the tastes. I then decided to get some basic fruits and vegetables because the crew needs a balanced diet full of nutrition. After I had finished getting all the supplies I needed I started to look around for a shop that sells sake since that was Zoro's favourite drink. Once I had found a small shop that had all kinds of booze I got a case of sake and decided to get myself a bottle of red wine since I hadn't had it since I worked at the Baratie. I left the shop with all the supplies and started to head over to the bar. As I started to approach the bar Zoro burst out of the doors with his cheeks slightly pink. He was slightly drunk which meant that he was going to talk nonsense all night long now and I had to listen to it. "Hey marimo why'd you have to drink so much? Anyway I need you to help carry some of the stuff I've gotten since there is quite a lot." As I finished my sentence he looked over at me and smiled if I was correct, just to be safe I rubbed my eyes and he still was. Was he happy to see me? No that wouldn't be it, it's probably just because he knew he didn't have to find his way back to the ship while intoxicated.

Zoro POV
I didn't realise how many glasses were piled up next to me until the bartender stopped serving me saying that I had had enough to drink for the day. Obviously I knew that I could drink more so I started asking him why and getting a bit frustrated. Eventually he called security and I was kicked out of the bar. As I was looking around for anything familiar I heard the cook loudly say "hey marimo why'd you drink so much? Anyway I need you to help carry some of the stuff I've gotten since there is quite a lot." I started to look around. I saw Sanji coming over to me and I smiled. I didn't know why I was so happy to see that cook or why I keep calling him Sanji in my head but I had had enough alcohol that I could drown out my thoughts and just act on instinct. "Fine, but only if you got me good booze" I replied. He just chuckled and said "dumbass of course I know what you like to drink" as if it was something everyone should know. I reddened at his response but I think it was hidden by my already flushed cheeks. I ignored his question on why I drank so much because I didn't want to give him the actual reason so I grabbed the case of sake and a couple of bags full of items that were neatly packed in bags and we started to walk back to the ship. It was an awkward silence since the cook probably knew why I said we'd be able to look after the ship together because usually we avoid having situations like that.
