TMATP (Zosan) Sequel

Chapter 2

Sanji's POV
Fuck, my head aches. It's pounding so loud and my whole body feels heavy

Against better judgement I forced my eyes open to be met with a bright light. I shut them immediately then tried again. Squinting until I got used to it. I surveyed the area

I was on a bed, obviously. It looked like Chopper's office

"Damn it"

"Sanji?"

I froze at the voice then took to notice that I'm not the only one in the room. I sat up quickly then immediately regretted it when there was a sharp pain in my head. I shut my eyes and clutches my head with my hands

"Easy Sanji, you shouldn't move so much"

I opened my eyes to be met with large brown eyes and a furry face, and right behind him. I felt my blood run cold as I met a steel gray eye staring at me with an unreadable expression. Is he mad? Confused? Worried? Which is it?!!

"Sanji?"

I averted my gaze and turned to Chopper

"Yeah, sorry what?"

"You shouldn't move much, you didn't take a huge impact thanks to Zoro but you might be a little lightheaded so it's best to rest"

'Thanks to Zoro?'

"Hai"

"Chopper" Zoro finally spoke "Can you leave us alone"

I couldn't tell what he was thinking but being alone with him, I don't think this will end well. Chopper looked between us then reluctantly agreed. He checked me once more before making his way across the room then left

Once Chopper left I felt the room instantly get tense

I avoided Zoro's gaze trying to look anywhere but him until finally letting them land on my hands which were laid on my lap. They all of a sudden seemed interesting

I needed a way out, any way, I just need to be out of here. I wish I could just crawl under the blankets and hide

My thoughts were put at a stop when I heard him starting to move towards me. I felt my body stiffen and gripped the sheets

'Fuck'

I felt the bed dip slightly at the edge then a hand took mine

"Sanji"

I jerked my head up to look at his expression. It was soft, worried and loving

He unclenched my fist and intertwined
our fingers. Locking our hands then gave mine a squeeze. The atmosphere turned comforting a total contrast to what it was originally

"You okay?"

I felt my heart clench. The one thing I can't tell him. It hurts to lie to him but

"Yes. I just didn't get enough sleep. I was too busy coming up with new recipes. Guess I should be more aware" I chuckled nervously, flashing him a smile

"Sanji do you not trust me?"

I jerked looking in his eye, seeing nothing but doubt, hurt and desperation. My hurt ached just looking at the steel grey orb

"Of course I trust...you"

"Then why aren't you telling me the truth?"

Zoro didn't sound angry just upset

"Zoro I..."

I don't know what to say. My gaze shifted downward. I couldn't look him in the eye. I gripped the blanket tightly with my free hand. I heard him sigh. He put his hand on my chin, lifting my head. Before I knew it his lips were on mine. It was a gentle peck. He pulled away and stood up
