What's Not To Love

Chapter 15

Once the door closed, Zoro cursed. Again.

Zoro walked towards the bed and laid on his stomach. He hugged his pillow and opted for staring at the wall. The conversation with Sanji was not only unexpected but it didn't go as he planned. It actually went better than he had thought. 

Zoro frowned at the realization. Putting his face to the pillow, he let out a yell. Picking his head up, Zoro looked towards the crib and was happy to see that the twins were still asleep. Still staring at them, Zoro began to think about how this arrangement was going to affect them. Banging his head on the pillow, Zoro sighed.

He rolled onto his back and stared at the ceiling with his arms folded behind his head. It's been a while since he's been so emotional and it was really getting to him. He loved Sanji and he really wanted to get back with him, but staying with him could be more painful than he was prepared for. Add in the fact that they have kids and that Sanji now wants to win him  makes the choice even harder. It's not like he could ignore what Sanji did.

"I bet you wouldn't be caught dead in this situation." Zoro whispered into the air. He meant for the statement to be in his mind to his deceased friend but he was too lost in thought to notice that he was even speaking out into the open.

Sanji walked up towards the deck whistling. He was trying to think of how he could get on Zoro's good side again. As he was walking, though, his concentration was broken. All he could hear was arguing. And the worse part was that it was coming from the Gallery. His quiet, beautiful workplace.

Stepping into the gallery, Sanji was stunned. It was a full out yelling war.

"I cannot believe you would do something like that Franky. Were you not thinking?" That was Robin.

"Oh he was thinking alright. But only about himself. Is fixing things that important that you bud into people's lives." Nami sounded as furious as ever.

"I think we all just need to calm down and figure this out without the violence." Ah, the peace maker Chopper, though he was being ignored.

"I wasn't thinking about myself. You guys even agreed with me a little while ago. He asked for help and I helped. And budding in is what you two do. I don't like being involved like this." Not the right thing to say Franky.

"Didn't I tell ya that women change their minds all the time." Usopp interjected.

"I think that we should let them solve it their selves." Such a helpful one that Brook.

"Where the hell is Sanji? Im hungryyyyy." Of course Luffy doesn't even know what's going on.

Sanji stood listening to the group for a few more minutes and he was still invisible to them. It was both funny and infuriating to say the least. Taking a deep breath, Sanji prepared to get his place of peace back.

"SHUT UP!"

The crew members all stopped and turned towards Sanji. When did he get there?

Sanji sighed and took a deep breath before fixing his clothes. Continuing to whistle, he walked into the kitchen calmly. The cook of the ship once again began to tend to for dinner.  Stopping in his tracks, Sanji turned to Luffy.

"Anything special Luffy?"

Luffy smiled and screamed "Meat!"

Rolling his eyes, Sanji turned to the freezer to get a lot of meat out. As he was doing so, Luffy spoke again.

"And Sanji."

Sanji turned towards his captain waiting for the response.

"Make Zoro something he likes."
