Sanji pov

In that moment, as I watched Zoro carefully dry his hands, I was swarmed with a overwhelming feeling of...of...gratitude. For once, I felt as if there was nothing I could do to repay him. No matter how many hours I worked, and how many 'thank you's I said, it could never be enough. Despite the stake stabbing my pride, it felt like a fog was clearing in my mind. A kind of understanding you can't put into words.

It felt like everything was ok.

For once, I had no need to hold tight onto what was left of me so that no frail pieces could get lose and be gone with the wind.

For once, I had no hesitation to deny myself the right to trust since I had never before been accepted so freely.

For once, I had no sorrow that I dragged behind me because of my pride, now I could let my ego fade.

And let me tell you, it felt so good.

Zoro pov

By the time I walked back to the table, Sanji had drifted off to sleep. His mouth was slightly agape with a newly forming string of drawl.

I signed a smile as I retrieved a spare blanket to wrap around his shoulders for the night. I wouldn't wake him when he looked to lovely and secure. His body was pulled up into him as tightly as possible, so he barely managed to fit in the chair. I toke one last toke at his restful state before I turned off the lights, and headed to bed myself.

Sanji pov

I peeled my eye lids open with pure willpower before I stretched like a cat to unknot the cricks all over my body, but all my movements were to sluggish to help. I dramatically hunched over and I roared a yawn.

"Morning Rapunzel. " mocked Zoro while hi sipped his coffee as he leaned on the stove, peering over the breakfast bar to look at me.

"Shutup." I croaked weakly, as I began to scratch my armpit.

"There is a change of clothes in the bathroom for you."

I only nodded grumpily in response. I am not a morning person.

I quickly used the bathroom, undressed, and folded my clothes neatly as I rested them on the toilet seat, by not my eyes were fully open.

"What the~" I mumbled stubbornly as my brain farted at the sight of Zoro's shower. "How the hell am I suppose to us this?"

To satisfy my pride I gave it a manly try, but I felt like a fool in my inability to turn it on. "Zoro, how do you use your shower?" I yelled as I wrapped a towel around my waist, so I could look decent.

"Here" replied Zoro as came to turn the shower on for me. He didn't even bother to hide the fact the he totally toke his time when walking by me as he checked my out for head to toe. He only shrugged when I sent him a deadly glare.

"Hey, why don't we go walk to the restaurant down the street? I'm hungry. Plus, I know it's your favorite." smiled Zoro as he reached into a closet to pulled out his jacket and umbrella.
