It was impossible to not notice how tense the swordsman was and that in itself was a bad sign - he had an almost inhuman ability to stay calm even in stressful situations despite his short temper and to see him worked up like this... not good. Not good at all.

The cook remained silent, tried to keep his mind as clear as possible. Focused on keeping his breathing calm, tried to slow down his racing heart, counted the footsteps as they made their way over to Marshall. Anything to keep his head from spinning.

One thing you learned as a pirate on the Grand Line was that the impossible happened every day. Sailing up mountains, hunting dinosaurs, watching cherry blossoms cover the night sky of a harsh winter island, sail your ship right up into the sky where Gods and angels resided... all impossible things that still happened. He had been there, seen it all with his own eyes and that alone made it possible for him to believe in other impossibilies. All Blue. One Piece. Things that might not even exist but most certainly did because that ( ... )

Sanji's tone of voice struck a chord with Zoro. He could hear that it was something the both sought. It was the challenge - what they were both good at. And if there was one thing that wasn't going to happen, it was Zoro backing down from a challenge ( ... )

At first it seemed like a good idea. Of course he knew that Zoro would accept and he had been prepared to take the consequences, whatever they may be - Sanji wasn't one to turn down a one-night stand if it came to that. New experiences and all that. Sure, he had only been with women before but sometime had to be the first and he sure as hell was adventurous enough to try---

And then those rough, calloused hands reached his hips and the gravity of the situation finally came crashing down like a bucket of ice cold water. What the hell were they doing?! This was stepping over the line and the fact that he liked where this was going only served to add to the shock. He stepped back, flinched like the touch of the other had burnt him.

"..."

He had suggested this. He had been the one to take the first step, the one who upped the ante and that wasn't something he was supposed to do. Not with this guy. Not in this situation. Sanji swallowed, felt his throat tighten with that familiar sense of panic that he was sure he'd come to associate ( ... )

At first, Zoro didn't get it. His eyebrow quirked at the feeling of Sanji jumping back. The cook was the one who'd pushed all of this in happening. Into forcing the feelings to come out. To pushing it a step further ( ... )

That reaction was both terrifying and comforting at the same time. He hadn't been the only one to realize what a mistake they had been about to make and if he hadn't broken it off there... that sort of damage would have been near impossible to repair. The caresses had been alright, the kisses were manageable but going even further than that? That would have meant acknowledging that this was more than some bug in their system and nothing in the world would be enough to bring them back from stepping over the line.

And still... he couldn't help but feel like he had just stabbed Zoro in the back. Twisted the knife. That he had led him on and tricked him into starting something neither of them knew how to finish. It left a bad taste in the cooks mouth and he regretted ever coming here. Fucking hell, why couldn't he have just pushed that stupid fucking notion aside?

He remained still for a few more seconds, watching, waiting for a reply with a sinking feeling in his chest. ShitAnd then he finally forced himself to leave, stumbled out of ( ... )
