Be Mine

Keeps Coming Back

After having a first official date on the first island Nami suggested they continue on with the other islands too. Nothing bad would come out of it if they do. Plus the others wanted to see the other islands too. For fun. Sanji and Zoro went through the other tests on the other islands to test the love they have for each other. And it only proves how much they actually like each other, something the whole crew knew.

Sanji knew that Luka still haunts Zoro, mostly in his sleep but Zoro nightmares stopped happening so often after his arms fully healed. And with his arms healed Chopper announced Zoro fully healed and healthy, physically. His arms where the last wounds on his body left from Luka. Every time Zoro had a nightmare he felt extremely bad for the swordsman. The only thing he could do is wake him up and hold him close until he fell back to sleep again, it hurt Sanji that that was all he could do. But soon Zoro started to get nightmares less and less so Sanji didn't need to do that anymore.

After feeling better Zoro went back to being himself. They all had to be careful though because Zoro couldn't handle everything he use too. The cold steel of his weights for training reminded him of the cell Luka kept him in. Chopper told him to take it easy and to ease into training again to help him mentally and physically, he couldn't just start training again. His muscles went through hell with Luka. He needed to start to stretch his muscles before he could carry the heavy weights he use to. But Zoro still couldn't handle touching his wights. But it's not like he hasn't made progress. He couldn't even be in the crows nest without breaking down.

That day they were in between the first and second island. With all his wounds healed completely and haven't been getting any nightmares for a while, Zoro decided it would be best to start training after not having been for so long. It was after lunch and the triplets have been playing for a while and are starting to yawn signalling that they are tired. Seeing this Sanji and Zoro put them to sleep together, staying for a little while longer until they were sure the triplets were completely asleep. Sanji couldn't help but smile at them, at how much they look like Zoro when he takes his naps. Zoro stood up and told Sanji that he's going to train. Sanji just nodded and said he's going to watch the triplets for a while then maybe give Zoro a snack during his training. So Zoro went up and looked at how everything was left. It didn't change, the weight were still where he left them before going walking down to Sanji who was taking care of the triplet at the time, before they had that big fight. He only did a quarter of his training before he went down to check on the triplets. Zoro looked down at the toys still on the floor, he had this feeling that the triplets knew Zoro was pregnant. It wasn't unusual for Touma to rest his head on Zoro's stomach being the mammas boy that he is but even Sora and Kuina started doing it and they all would look at him and smile while they touched his stomach, they would do this every once in a while. They would also be more careful when they crawled on his lap. After they started doing this one day Zoro felt nauseous and threw up. At first he thought he was sick but being on night watch he went into the kitchen to make himself some tea, he saw a jar of pickles and his chocolate and peanut that was still there. Staring at it he really wanted some and so he did and that's when he knew. After the triplets were born he tried some but it wasn't not as good as it was when he was pregnant so he never touched it again. 

Zoro picked up the toys and put them away in a small chest set next to his dumbbell rack. He turn his back to see himself back in the cell. It even smelled the same, like his sweat and it was a little stuffy. He began to breath heavily. Like a blind man he walked forward waving his arms around until he tripped over some big weights to put on his bars. He touched the cold steel to move it away from himself and he was reminded of the chains that bind him. He wasn't sure why but he started to feel dizzy. 

Sanji had made a nutritious drink to help keep Zoro hydrated but energized and a small appetizer to give him some stamina. He had already given the girls their snacks and the others in the kitchen. Sanji then heard some of the weights clanking like someone fell so he rushed up and when he walks in he sees Zoro on the floor sweating and breathing rapidly. He sets down the tray and goes to see if Zoro ok and Zoro swats his hand. "Don't touch me!" Zoro yells and Sanji steps back. Zoro then bends down on his knees and head touching the floor as he covers his ears. Sanji not knowing what to do and what's about to happen just stares. Zoro then starts screaming and Sanji, unprepared, covers his ears. Chopper, who sat in the kitchen eating the snack with the others, his ears twitch as he looks over in the direction of the crows nest. He gets a bad feeling about it and decided to go and check it out.

"Oh are you done Chopper?" Usopp asks as he fends off Luffy. Chopper just ignores him and rushes out of the kitchen leaving the door open. Usopp just stares leaving himself open to Luffy taking his rice ball from his hand. "That's mine Luffy!" He yells at Luffy. 

"What's going on?" Chopper asks popping his head in the room. He sees Sanji just standing there and Zoro on the floor sweating bullets, breathing like there something wrong and he's even started to tremble.

"I don't know. I came up and he was already like this." Sanji say filling Chopper in as he walks up to him. He reaches his hoofs to touch Zoro. "A don't do th-" Sanji says to late. Zoro pushes Chopper.

"Don't touch me!" Zoro growls as he shouts. Robin and Luffy catch on to this.

"Oh no." Chopper says.

"What?"

"We have to calm him down." Chopper and Sanji inch closer and closer, Zoro sees this and freaks out grabbing some of the weight left on the floor and chucks them. The whole crew hears this and goes to check to see what's going on.

"Hey whats g-" Nami starts but a weight goes right past her head making her scream.

"Nami! Robin! Don't come in." Sanji says. More weights are thrown.

"What do we do?" Sanji asks Chopper.

"I have something that might help but I need a distraction."

"Alright. Luffy, Usopp, Brook help me distract him." With that they all hop in the room except for Usopp who stays cowering near the door. Sanji, Brook and Luffy stand in front of Zoro who doesn't seem to recognize them. "Hey Zoro, how about calmi-" Sanji says sweetly but is cut off by a weights in the stomach. Luffy lunges forward but is smacked to the side by the pole that Zoro has attached weights so, the one he practiced his swing with. His head then turns to Brook whose bones shiver. Zoro inches forward slowly but stops and drops the pole, feeling something pinch his right leg. His eyes slowly close.

"S-Sanji?" Zoro questions before falling, the last thing he sees before going down is Sanji. Chopper takes out the needle in his leg as he wipes his forehead. They all gather around him. Sanji rushes to his feet and holds Zoro in his arms.

"Chopper what was that?" Nami asks worried.

"I think he was having a panic attack. Something in here reminded him of something bad." They all look around the room it was just the triplets toys and his weights. "Come on lets get him somewhere else before he wakes up." Chopper says, they all walk out of the room, Sanji carrying Zoro in his arms.

When Zoro woke up he was in the infirmary. Quickly he runs out to the deck to make sure of his surrounding. He looks around the deck to see the crowd playing with the triplets that woke up. Zoro just stood there staring at his crew while they stare back. Sanji stands up and gives Zoro a hug who hugs him back gripping the back of his shirt. Sanji didn't say anything just hugged him tightly as he look at the blue sky. They others just observed what was going on.

Sanji does not like what had happened. That wasn't Zoro. He's always calm. What would have happened if the triplets were there with him? He wants the Zoro he fell in love with but right now he never wants to see Zoro like that again.
