Best friend not. A Zoro x reader au

Chapter 18

Getting into your apartment you flopped onto your couch and practically fell asleep there. Zoro stood above you having a small smile. "C'mon. Let's get you to bed..." He said softly, picking you up and carrying you to your room. He laid you down and took your flats off then pulled the covers over.

"Goodnight."

Part II

Returning back to school will be something you'll never get used to. Teachers began piling the homework and projects, each due the next day or by the end of the week; seeing as midterms are almost here.

So, there you are. Sitting in the middle of your room with papers everywhere from your bed to the floor. The pencil in your hand danced impatiently, despite the cramps in your legs, back, neck, and hand. Throwing down the pencil you sat straight up- which wasn't the best thing. The popping of your back and neck combined traveled through the walls and entered Zoro's ears. He, just the same: bent over, writing nonstop and papers cluttered his room. "Yn! Is your back okay!?" "Don't sit up! Whatever you do, don't do it!" You managed to yell back.

Being stupid, he straightened his back.

"HOLY SHIT JESUS #%€£ING CHRIST!"

There you both were. In your rooms, surrounded by projects and homework, tears in your eyes; yes, even Zoro, and you both have yet to put a dent in the massive amount of work still left.

Part III

Sitting down in your seat behind the counter of your last class. Sanji walked through and passed you, sitting at the other end of the room. "Huh...?"

The instructor came in and looked at the class, furrowing his brows. "Why are you sitting there? Sanji." The blond blushed and said his excuse, "I can't sit with her." "You can, you've done so for half the semester already. Move back." Shutting his eyes he moved back to his seat, refusing to look at you.

"I want you to create anything of your choice, but add chocolate."

You looked at Sanji and smiled. "Any ideas on what to make?" How about love... "Uh...h-how about pasta w-with dark ch-chocolate marinara sauce?" "Okay." Both standing up, you got to work. When you asked for a tool or ingredient Sanji seemed to hand it to you clumsily. "Sanji are you alright? You're stuttering and- oH MY GOD YOU'RE ON FIRE!" Sanji looked confused before looking at his sleeve. It was right next to the gas stove.

You turned off the stove and quickly grabbed the fire extinguisher, you pulled the pin and sprayed the white foam on Sanji's arm. Setting the red canister down you took Sanji's other arm, making your way to the nurse. "I-I'm fine yn!" "Like hell you are, you were on fire!" You entered the nurse's office and wrote down Sanji's name on the sign in sheet. "Nurse? I have a student who was burned." The nurse came from the back and spotted Sanji's burned arm and sleeve. "Come in, quickly."

Sanji walked into the back with the nurse while you stayed in the waiting room.
