Title: Longest wait of one's life

Angst, angst, angst. I try writing serious stuff. And I manage to get the topic in two times, woot.

Small animals dove out of the way to avoid the booted foot that crashed down. Zoro swore as he stumbled. Damn squirrel rabbit things. Damn Love Cook's inability to keep his damn balance.

Of course the one time the bastard lost his footing was when he standing on the edge of a fucking cliff. As Zoro reached the bottom he expected to see an irate Love cook glaring at him with a bombardment of scathing insults, followed by himself sneering and shooting back that it wasn't his fault that the shitty bastard was so terrified of bugs that he'd rather walk off a cliff than have one land (ok, thrown) on him.

What Zoro found was the cook lying on the ground, limbs and head sprawled at haphazard angles. No furious glare, no venomous words, no merciless kick aimed at his head. No sign of life. Not even when Zoro reached down to touch his shoulder or after he snapped, "Oi shithead. Hey cook, wake up." This wasn't right, this silence, this pale, vulnerable look on Sanji's face. Sanji was a force to be reckoned with, between days filled with arguments and fighting, and unspoken nights spent in galley.

When a shallow beat touched Zoro’s skin as he checked for a pulse, Zoro let out a breath, not that he had been holding one in. "Oi Sanji, come on," Zoro half whispered.

It seemed that Sanji had fallen off one dangerous edge onto the brink of an even more dangerous one. And with Sanji unable to be moved due to injuries and unable to be left alone, it was an edge that the cook had balance entirely on his own. All Zoro could do was wait. Wait and not be worried or nervous. And most certainly not feel guilty.

Gah! The guilt! The visual of Sanji broken and sprawled at the bottom of a a cliff... ;_; Sometimes I think it really is only a matter of time before one of them accidentally hurts the other seriously; thank goodness Sanji's still alive or else Zoro might just become a bundle of neuroses and guilt.

Jackassery can lead to deep shit (something that kept occuring to people I knew over and over in highschool)and those two always go at it. Something bad is bound to happen sooner or later. It's a good thing sanji did survive the fall, because look at the complexes and issues he developed when Kuina died, can you imagine how he'd be if Sanji died in that way o.0

oh man Zoro would totally emo forever. ...Maybe he'd wear Sanji's shoes and kick with them and find All blue for him too like how he fights with Wadou for Kuina. XD

:D and then he'd run into Gin, then into mihawk who will be like, wtf.

--- yeeeeeeeeeees, they would start to fight which would lead to them somehow having sex, because that's totally something you do when you accidently kill your sort of boyfriend and feel so guilty you develop more issues and complexes... wait...

;_;

They really should think about what could happen when they fight like that. o. O

Sanji could get sliced, or Zoro could get a broken limb.. Marine attack and woooosh..

This was really well written. Apart from the 'OMGZ, Sanji - wake up!' it was awesome!!

Thank You! This was the first time I ever wrote something serious, so I was a little nervous.

Oh no poor Sanji >_< (He's gonna be alright hey? I'm suddenly imagining all kinds of things that might happen after he wakes up...like "Zoro making up to him" *giggles* it's interesting to think about.XD)

And aside from all the angst, I like seeing Zoro feeling guilty

[rab-rumrunner.livejournal.com]

Don't worry, this is as close as I come to death fics. They make me too sad.

haha, Sanji would certainly give him crap about it... hmmm, maybe there will be a sequel to this...

One day, one sweet days they'll really end up hurting each other.
