Pairing: messiness continues (SanZo; vague Nami/San implications)
Disclaimer: Characters and setting? Not mine. Probably just as well. Here, have them back...
Summary: He really, really needed a cigarette. Zoro needed a drink. And Nami? Could name her own price, now.
Excuse: *shrug*
Notes: Follows a bunch of stuff concluding with "See No Evil" and "Hear No Evil"; directly continues from "No Good Deed" and coincides with "Speak No Evil".

There were no words for how badly Sanji needed a cigarette right then. Odd, because he normally preferred not to smoke, after one of these sessions, for as long as he possibly could.
Which meant Zoro probably needed a bottle of the strongest sake available just as badly. Or some of the hard stuff Sanji used for special desserts and hadn't told the swordsman about.
At least Zoro didn't seem to be destructive, or self-destructive, any more, but watching him stubbornly not-crying in a miserable huddle while he tried to pull himself together was taxing what little self-control Sanji had left.
With a murmured word the cook stood, walked out of the anchor deck, shut the door behind himself, and lit up.
He caught Luffy's question with the first breath of smoke, heard Nami's return query and the captain's clarification. Looked up, nearly nauseous with dread, only to meet Nami's eyes. Watched her lie to Luffy. For him.
She knew, that much was clear. Everything, or close enough. And for now, she was keeping his secret. He wondered, vaguely, what the punishment for his deception would be, and whether the time he'd had with Zoro would be worth the price.
