First Post
Jul. 30th, 2004 12:47 amSo yeah, my first OP Drabble post. This week's topic just got me. ^_^ Er, Enjoy? Maybe?
Drabble: Warm Place
Rating: er… PG?
Word Count: 300 (exactly, baby! XD)
Pairing: Infinitesimal ZoSan undertones
It was funny that in all their encounters at sea, it was the storm on land that completely incapacitated two of the most formidable fighters of the Straw Hat pirates.
Huddled in the cave Zoro had sniffed out as the first heavy drops had begun, the cook and the swordsman had made the best of their situation and settled in for the night once the weather became hopeless, miraculously after only arguing for an hour about how much they hated each other and how stupid the other was for getting them lost in the first place.
Sanji sighed, currently huddled shoulder to shoulder with Zoro in a not-so-manly attempt to generate some warmth.
Never mind that his pride was getting stomped on all over the place. It was cold. He did not want to die with Zoro’s ugly, stupid face being the last one he saw on earth.
And in their current state of separation-from-the-others, Zoro was the only warm place available.
The chef shivered and inched closer. Taking his movement as acquiescence, an arm was grudgingly draped over the blonde’s shoulders without a word said between them.
Sanji’s pride gave its last, shuddering breath and died.
After a while, he realized this wasn’t so bad. Sure, the storm sucked, and being stuck with Zoro sucked, but there were worse things out there than sharing body heat with a complete jerk while they were lost in the woods.
Yeah. Worse things. He could be stuck with Usopp.
Sanji smiled resignedly to himself with that thought and shifted slightly. In spite of the bad luck, at least he’d managed to find a warm place.
“Oi… if you don’t stop squirming, I’m going to knock you unconscious and steal body heat that way, love-cook.”
A warm place that was also a bastard.

Yes, I'm sure being with the swordsman ain't gonna be a smooth ride, but at least he's not alone, right?
