First time poster in this community. I've enjoyed so many of these drabbles that it has become a ritual to check this community daily for new fics. Everyone keep up the fantastic work.

Title: In His Hands
Rating: PG
Word Count: 300
Pairings: Sanji/Zoro
Topic: Time
Disclaimer: I do not own OP and its characters.
Summary: Zoro is sick and Sanji angsts? Feedback is greatly appreciated.

There were days where no one would suspect that Roronoa Zoro had contracted a critical illness. A disease that would come out of submission, takeover his body, and rampage its disastrous effects. He faltered, stopped eating, bled from wounds that had healed years ago.

Today was not of those days.

They rested on a beach of an island they found on the Grand line, Zoro’s warmth nestled in his lap. As he snored softly in the lazy sun, Sanji wrapped his arms around the swordsman’s waist.

Sanji watched as one of the bandages on Zoro’s abdomen turned from stark white to a dull crimson as the wound began to bleed. Zoro let out a whimper, not loud enough to overcome the oceans’ music, but Sanji felt the rumble of the swordsman’s chest as he struggled in discomfort.

The cook cooed into the swordsman’s ears. Sweet nothings and promised comforts. He stroked the brow of the man strung in-between his legs as his other hand wrapped tighter around the body.

Zoro would beat this sickness one day because that’s what he did, overcoming the impossible. He will live a long life. Sanji was going to make sure of it. Because the blood staining his arms, the way the swordsman scowled in discomfort, and panted in ragged breaths…

It was his fault.

It was his responsibility.

As Sanji watched over Zoro something began to ache in his chest, to see the swordsman suffer...hurt. Somehow along the way he had fallen for this great idiotic swordsman.

He pressed his forehead into Zoro’s shoulder, wiping the sudden shame in his eyes. Breathing deeply as he felt the rumble of Zoro’s body coughing, spasms becoming violent because of the pain, Sanji’s grip grew tighter.

To think, it was only one time, a drunken mistake.

Awww. I hope Zoro does get better. And WELCOME TO THE FANDOM, or something like that...
Hope to see more of your writings ^.^♥

It's a disease that goes in and out of submission, so I don't think he'll get better :(. Although this is part of a larger fic, that will hopefully be done some time this year.

Thank you for the comment! and the warm welcome!!! ^^.

oooh nice~! good job! ^^b Not my fav paring but I enjoyed it non then less!

but out of sheer curiosity...Is that aids? >>

[keakun.livejournal.com]

Thank you for the comment! Glad you liked it, especially since this isn't about your favorite pairing.

Truthfully, in the longer fic it's a sickness that I made up, but it resembles AIDs a great deal in this drabble. How it's contracted, the effects and characteristics are completly different in the longer fic, I just can't explain it all in 300 words. lol...

[reya-chan.livejournal.com]

What can I say? I'm a sucker for angst fics.
xD

Oh. Ah well it just kinda sounded like it. x3 No matter. keep up the good work!

[keakun.livejournal.com]

I love angst fics too! Although I guess it's a little unhealthy to enjoy reading in someone/peoples sufferings x_x;

Yeah, it does sound a lot like it in this fic, doesn't matter really, as you said lol. And I'll keep writing, even if I enjoy reading more (so much less brain cramps).

[devlinnreiko.livejournal.com]

Awesome! I love angst...Poor Zoro though. Anyways I really enjoyed reading this. Your writing is good too. I like how this way described. ^^

[keakun.livejournal.com]

Thank you so much for the comment, I'm glad you enjoyed the fic, I'm even more glad that you liked the description, seeing as how I think that's my weakest point when it comes to writing.

"Your writing is good too" *swoons*

Thanks again! :D

I love it when Zoro gets sick. XD Poor Zoro though... poor Sanji. o__o;

You said this was part of a longer fic that might be done, I cannot wait until you post that! ^________^

[keakun.livejournal.com]

I think everyone has a secret fetish for making their favorite character, or character pairings suffer in some way, either that or they have them go into hot smexy smut. And yes this is part of a longer fic, currently I have the prologue, epilogue, a chapter and a half. Who knows how long the rest of it will take lol... Thanks for the comment. :3

[vampire-otaku.livejournal.com]

Mmmm, beautiful angst. I really enjoyed the way this short work tantalizes and makes me want to know more of the story. I'm really interested to see the longer piece.

Great job! Keep on posting and gracing us with your lovely words!

[keakun.livejournal.com]

Coming from a talented author like yourself I really appreciate your comment. I'll post the longer piece, if I ever actually finish it xD.

Thank you so much for the comment. :D

Aws, lovely! I like Zoro in this state (sue me, I'm bad!!) Though I don't understand, Sanji blames himself? Did Zoro get the disease from him or something? @_@

[keakun.livejournal.com]

In a way yes, Reya_chan pointed out the disease to be aids, or rather asked if it was. It's fully explained in the longer fic...over a billion chapters that I'll never be able to write cause I'm a lazy shmuk (although I'm trying). For now just think of it as aids, until the longer fic comes out x_x.

And I think everyone loves a masochist Zoro, *shrugs* Thanks for the comment :D

[sheasa.livejournal.com]

I loved it! But it was still sad. REALLY hope you do a continuation!

[wings-strength9.livejournal.com]

kyaaa i love this story >.<

i loved how you wrote sanji, him feeling guilty, and the part about "cooing sweet comforts and promised comforts." that was gorgeous.

im gonna try and find that fic now. i keep twitching in anticipation, i think i probably look like an idiot XD
