Frozen Time (PG) Sanji/Zoro

[kotszok.livejournal.com]

This is my very first OP drabble (not counting the one where they have to go pee during a battle, only ptps has had the honour of reading that atrocity XD) and my very first post here on OPY100! :D Please enjoy, and if you see me breaking any grammar/vocab/whatever rules, feel free to gently rant about it. ;)

Title: Frozen Time
Rating: PG
Word Count: Word tells me it's 299!
Pairing: Sanji/Zoro (I guess, no one really TOPS)
Topic: Time (and I am forced to say, like so many before me, "just barely.")


A thick, folded up blanket landed heavily on his shoulders and Sanji’s lithe frame settled beside him on the bench.

“You’re such a dumbass, you know that?” The cook sighed and stared at the mug of hot cocoa in Zoro’s hands.

“Hrn,” was the grunted reply. It wasn't like he’d never done it before! He’d tried it not too long ago on Drum Island and nothing had happened then! Well, not much. When Zoro had seen the icebergs floating around on the sea before them, the challenge had been too tempting to pass up. So he'd dived in half naked, and then the wind-factor had taken its toll on his soaked head, and the rest had been history; meaning Sanji had had to jump in and save him (Luffy was useless in water, and Usopp was useless with his “I-get-flesh-eating-rashes-if-I-go-in-water-below-20-degrees” illness.)

Now he sat in the galley, nursing a hot mug and frowning at the sweet scent of cocoa.

“You gonna use that blanket or just sit there like a statue?” the blonde inquired.

Zoro set the mug down and reached for the material lying across his shoulders. Numb hands fumbled with the thick folds and managed to drop everything into his lap after a few unsuccessful attempts. The green-haired man made a sour face and resumed staring at his quickly-cooling beverage.

“Gimme that, Marimo-head,” the cook chuckled. Swatting away the cumbersome hands lying across the blanket, he picked it up and with long, deft fingers unfolded it and draped it around his swordsman’s shoulders. Tucking the corners in so it wouldn’t fall off, he leaned over Zoro’s shoulder and whispered: “You fail at swimming in freezing water, you fail at putting on a blanket. It’s about time you proved you don’t fail in bed… I have a Marimo who needs heating up.”

Thank you to ptps for beta-ing, and sorry for the 70 million edits. I posted this all wrong. lol

Priscilla made me post it! :O I USUALLY DRAW, I don't know what I'm doing here.

lol screw you this was of your own damned free will >O

Usopp's disease wins everything XD

Hehehehe Usopp's imagination is so awesome, I love it! (you prodded me until I did! D:)

Oh yeah Zoro fails at a lot of stuff, but Sanji owns at everything so they balance each other out. I enjoyed reading this fic, after coming home from work I needed some fluff, great job Kotszok. *OP drabble bug is satisfied*.

*demands more*

...

*grovels for more*

Okay I'm done, keep up the good work. :D

[kotszok.livejournal.com]

Eee, I wasn't really expecting such positive feedback. ♥ Thank you very much, I'm glad you liked it :D

[kotszok.livejournal.com]

*wibbles* I DON'T KNOW WHAT TO SAY, thank you ♥ I'm really happy and relieved that you like it!!! is also secretly pleased that you understood the Zoro logic

♥!!!!

...but that means if when Zoro eventually defeats Mihawk Sanji will probably DIE. Unless Sanji finds All Blue first, in which case Zoro would be dead. Or armless. Or just get pwnt by really weakass Marines while everybody laughs at him...

This has been your random reply for the day! Thank you for subscribing to Yuki's RR Inc.

NOBODY IN ONE PIECE DIES EXCEPT THE FLASHBACK CHARACTERS. And even they will probably come back sooner or later.

*fears return of Zombie Bellemere*

[geuna.livejournal.com]

But many things would make Sanji die. If everyone got a bounty before him he'll totally die! And when Sanji does get a bounty, if it's less that Zoro he will also die. And then they would both try harder to raise their bounties. (holds face) I can see it now... And even if it isn't something big like that they will always find something to fight over.

[yuki-kokoro.livejournal.com]

Yeah, or if Nami tells him his cooking is horrible, or the crew finds out he's Zoro's bottom-boy, or giant spiders of doom attack and someone has to save him, or he’s the prize in the fight for World’s Best Swordsman! Then Zoro winning and Sanji (winning) sucking at life would be one and the same!... Luckily there are lots of ways for Sanji to "die" without really dying.

Therefore, Rule Number One of the Strawhat Cavalry Brigade still stands!

[geuna.livejournal.com]

(LAUGHS) Yes, and other things can make ZORO die, too, however not as many as Sanji. Like his fear of a certain women, and is sense of direction always landing him in weird places... then again, he just doesn't CARE half the time.

Oh GOD, Nami telling Sanji his cooking sucks... he would totally fling himself overboard or some other melodrama. And we WILL find out soon enough about the wanted posters. ^__^ I HOPE SANJI GETS ONE!!!

Oh, and I kinda need an editor... 0_0

[yuki-kokoro.livejournal.com]

A fic editor?

I VOLUNTEER! If you'll have me. ^^

Just give me a general sense of what you want out of it. I'd do anything from pure grammar/spelling to help with phrasing/pacing stuff all the way up to plot/character suggestions if you think you want/need it. ^_^

[geuna.livejournal.com]

(laughs) What do I want? To make sure I haven't switched words around or used the wrong word, like "she" instead of "he" or "stone" instead of "store", silly things. I'll actually be done with it really soon (it's just a drabble). Though I've also written a few other drabble about the Red Shirt universe... ~__~ Oooh man, people are gonna kill me...

May I email you stuff?

[plotbunny-tiff.livejournal.com]

Hee, this made me happy, and I'm so glad you are writing! This was great!

...

So you're gonna write more, right? RIGHT?! ::gives you the puppy face::

[kotszok.livejournal.com]

Aws... *blushes* I'm glad I could make you happy! :D I WILL TRY, though most of the time I fail horribly. XD

[c4pyrogirl.livejournal.com]

Zoro. Fails. At. Life. (This is awesome) ^^ This rocks. ^^

[kotszok.livejournal.com]

♥ Thank you very much, the positive feedback helps to drag me out from my Corner of Shame. XD

[yuki-kokoro.livejournal.com]

Zoro: always ready to plunge head-first into the depths of idiotdom. Sanji: always ready to rub it in his face. (And how we love them for it.) But then there’s hot chocolate afterwards, so it’s all ok. ^^

I really liked this line: “nursing a hot mug and frowning at the sweet scent of cocoa.” It stirs my awwww sense and makes me wish I could draw.

[yuki-kokoro.livejournal.com]

Oh, and because I fail and forgot: . I think you’ll like it here. ^^

[kotszok.livejournal.com]

*titters* Thank you!! ♥ If there's something that touches someone especially not THAT way!!! then I feel accomplished. ;)

Thanks for the welcome too. I've been a lurker for ever... or well, spamming everyone with incoherent comments. So I know this community is love. :D

[geuna.livejournal.com]

(GRINS) I wish I were a sick Zoro, because I can only imagine what Sanji would do... (dribbles)

Welcome oh welcome to the community! ^__^ I'm pretty new to posting myself. It's SO much fun! (cackles)

[kotszok.livejournal.com]

LOL Thank you!!! I've actually been reading all the stuff here forever, just finially figured I could post something, for crying out loud. Just for fun. ;) I'm more of a fanartist, really. lol I think you write more seriously than I do, so good luck. ;)

[geuna.livejournal.com]

(laughs) Oh, I don't know. I've only made a grand total of 3 posts thus far, and nothing since. Almost everything is simply inspired at the time, so it's kinda hard. ^__^' I'm sure more'll come to me eventually, though! But lurking is good, too. ^__~

I'm a fanartist too! Well, artist mostly. I don't do fanart much, though I don't really have a scanner at the moment either... But maybe someday... T__T

[rab-rumrunner.livejournal.com]

Dude, you win.

[kotszok.livejournal.com]

*sniffles* Thank you, that comment totally made my day. XD
