Lay Your Heart Near Mine

Chapter 3

Walking into the kitchen, Zoro saw Sanji sitting at the table with a bottle of wine in front of him and a cigarette in hand. Zoro just stood there watching him, trying to determine the best way to approach the conversation. Sanji must have gotten tired of being stared at because he called out to him with an annoyed tone.

" What do you want, Marimo?."

Still standing there, Zoro said nothing.

" Are you gonna just stand there or are you going to actually say something." By now , Sanji had put out his cigarette and lit a new one.

"I wanna make a proposition, Shit Cook."

Looking up, Sanji saw the look in Zoro's eyes change. His look screamed determination and something else. He couldn't really tell.

"What kind of proposition?"Sanji asked with slight interest.

Zoro looked away for a moment. Sanji began to wonder if Zoro was having second thoughts about his ' proposition'.

"I'll stop drinking all the good drinks if you help me with a problem."

Sanji began walking towards the drinks cabinet while talking to Zoro.

"There's no way you could possibly be able to get to the good drinks. I, myself, locked them up, so unless you magically know the code you couldn't possibly... Be.. Able.. To..." Sanji stared dumbfounded into the drinks Cabinet. Half of the good drinks were gone. Turning towards Zoro ,Sanji awaited an explanation for how those drinks, which were only brought out during celebrations, were already gone.

"Honestly, I thought you knew that I had the code."was Zoro's only answer to Sanji's unspoken question.

Biting back a snide remark, Sanji put out his cigarette and lit a new one. Leaning back against the countertop, Sanji looked towards Zoro and began to speak.

"What's the problem you need help solving, Shit Head?"

"Sex."

Sanji looked at Zoro as if he had grown a second head. He couldn't have heard him right. Sex? Seriously? The moss head wanted sex from him?

"Are you insane? Out of all the things you could ask, you say sex? "

"It's not like I'm asking you to turn gay or anything. Look, I just need to relieve myself and I read in my book that if you can't get off- "

"So you want me, of all people, to help you get off by having sex with you? I can barely stand being next to you and Now your asking me for sex?Can't you just wait the rest of the week . Nami-swan said there would be lots of different people there. I'm sure someone stupid will find a liking to you." Sanji couldn't believe what he was hearing. Obviously Zoro got hit really hard during their last battle.

"If I could wait that long, I would but I can't so I need your help. Your the only member on the ship that I can actually go to." Zoro was starting to get frustrating. His pants were becoming tighter by the second and all that brought was more pain.

" Look if your that chicken to have sex with a guy, then fine. You probably aren't even that great in bed." Turning around Zoro began to leave but stopped when he heard steps behind him. Zoro smirked just barely when he heard the cook mutter under his breath ' I'm not the bottom' as he pushed past and made his way to the crows in the crows nest, Zoro and Sanji started to make some ' rules '.

"Okay Shit Head, I'm going to say this in a way that even a two year old will understand. While we're doing this..um 'nightly activity '-"

"Sex". Sanji shot an aggravated look at Zoro but continued none the less.
