The Icemaker (Zosan Fic)

Chapter Five

Why am I so obsessed with this ship?

 "He did that to you!?" Franky snarled, Luffy deadly silent as he talked. They sat in the back of their favorite bar, crappy music playing and people laughing loudly over a game of pool. "Yeah, but I couldn't bring myself to tell Sanji..." Chopper nodded, "It was probably smart, I heard that guy is a real creep."

"He is. There was a story going around he uh, yeah, to a younger boy who was skating with him." Usopp said, disgust on his face, Zoro bit his tongue to hold back his comment. "Yeah, I don't know, have we just accepted Sanji out friend?" The guys looked at each other, "He travels a lot, but yeah, I do." Chopper said smiling, the others nodded, but Franky shook his head, "I don't like him much, but if he's a friend to you guys then I guess he's one of mine." They looked at Zoro, Luffy suddenly trying to hide a smile, "Obviously he's your friend, do we need to relive the pillow fort incident?"

"YOU GUYS ALREADY GAVE IT A NAME!?"

Zoro walked down the street, it has been awhile since he stepped foot in the rink, practice was canceled and Sanji hadn't gave him one text or call. He decided to make his way to the rink. Pushing past the doors, waving a few people, and opened the doors that lead into the ice. He walked toward the rink where the familiar blonde was skating around lazily, feathers complaining loudly over something.

"Sanji." He called, making him almost fall, but he turned around so fast he did slip but gained his feeting awfully quick and skating over to him way too fast. "I'm sorry I haven't gotten with you, I've been so busy, my phone broke and it's getting fixed and Doflamingo has been trying to get me alone every second of the day..." Sanji groaned, and Zoro leaned over the walls and gave his friend a hug.

"It's fine, I knew you were getting over your head." Zoro whispered, Sanji wrapping his arms around him, "I'm sorry for leaving you with feathers." He heard Sanji laugh, before letting go, which felt almost too soon. "I'm glad you're here, let's get some lunch afterwards huh?" Zoro nodded, and Sanji skated back over to a flamingo screeching about something.

Zoro walked over to Zeff who seemed rumpled as ever, and he sent a angry look at Zoro. "What do you want?" Zoro shrugged, leaning against the wall and watching Sanji. Zeff suddenly sighed, catching his attention, "There was a reason I didn't let Sanji skate with the pink freak, not only is he a jackass but he likes to dwindle his confidence." Zeff eyed him, "When you two were skating the other day, I haven't seen him do that many jumps so perfect."

Zoro raised an eyebrow, looking at Zeff. "Really? Does he just not trust himself?" Zeff shook his head, "He told me he liked you because you make him feel like he was better than everyone else." Zoro blushed slightly, but smiled, looking back at his prince, "It's because he is..." The two went quiet again, Zeff grunting as the other coach came back toward them.

They finally called it quits when Sanji fell hard on his ankle. Zoro almost flew over the wall towards him, but feathers helped him up, and Zoro did fall off the wall when he pulled Sanji closer to him. "God Zoro, are you alright?" He heard Sanji call, and saw his blonde hair come into view.

"Just peachy." He grunted as the ice burned his back. He heard Zeff howling with laughter and Zoro just burned red. Sanji helped him stand, wrapping an arm around his waist, "You're so stupid." He laughed, helping Zoro to the exit so he didn't slip. Sanji started to take off his skates, Zeff walking over, "How's your ankle?" The old man asked right as Sanji took off his skates. "Oh wow..." There was a bump forming on his ankle, and he winced every time he moved it.

"Can you stand?" Zoro asked as he himself took off the other skate and offered a hand. Sanji tried but collapsed when he tried to put weight on it. Zoro clenched his jaw, turning around to see feathers walking over, "Good fuckin job feathers you hurt his ankle." Feathers seemed more offended by the nickname. "I-I'm sorry, are you alright?" he asked Sanji, holding out a hand. Zoro felt Sanji lean more heavily on him, "I don't feel good..." He grunted.
