My first post to the community. I offer up a virgin sacrifice.
Title: My Love Will Keep Me Warm
Rating: PG.
Word Count: 300 on the nose.
Pairing: Sanji/Usopp.
Topic: Ice.
An extra weight had just settled on his chest, and his nose was cold.
Zoro opened his eyes slightly. He could see his breath in the air. Usopp was draping their still-snoring captain with a couple of spare blankets, while Sanji, almost invisible under a puff of comforters, staggered towards the women’s bunk. Blankets. That explained the extra weight.
Zoro closed his eyes again and listened to Usopp bustling around and the sound of Sanji waking up the girls to tell them they were into a stable weather pattern and to give them their blankets. Sanji sounded way too alert for somebody on midnight watch. Zoro could hear him clearly, though Nami’s voice just sounded like sleepy feminine murmurs.
In response to a very final-sounding mumble, Sanji chirruped, “Worry not, Nami-san! My love will keep me warm!”
The girls’ door slammed loudly enough to make Luffy snort in his sleep and Zoro slit his eyes open again. Usopp also snorted, but his was a sound of mild exasperation, not somnolent perturbation.
“'My love will keep me warm.' You stick your icy hands up the back of my jacket again, Sanji, and your love will put Tabasco in your tea. Then we’ll see how warm you are,” muttered Usopp as he picked up the lantern and left. Zoro closed his eyes and tucked his cold nose under the blankets.
A minute and a half later, when Zoro’s sleep-befuddled brain finally caught up to the implications of what Usopp had said, he snapped upright nearly fast enough to flip his hammock. He was quite proud that he managed not to scream and confined himself to a horrified gasp. Sanji…and Usopp. And they were…with the…and they…how?! Why? And most importantly, when and where?
Zoro sat awake and shivered for most of the night.

Sanji would be one of those people who can manage to be cheerful morning or night with little sleep. At least around the girls. The boys would get the brunt of any grumpiness he felt.
