Topic: lemon
Word Count: 300
Rating: PG14 (for innuendo, mostly)
Pairing: Sanji/Zoro
Disclaimer: Characters and setting? Not mine. Probably just as well. Here, have them back...
Summary: Zoro receives a gift of fruit. Sanji realizes he really needs to educate the swordsman on a few of the finer points. Let's look in on the lesson, shall we?
Excuse: Do I need one, really?
Notes: Immediately follows "Rewards of Virtue".

Sanji'd given him not just one, but three sinkfuls of vegetables to peel. Bastard. Contrary bastard. Contrary fucking bastard.
Sexy, though.
Which made up for the contrary. Almost.
That and the fact that he took as good as he gave in a fight, and gave as good as he took in... Well. It evened out, anyway.
So. Dinner had been worth the effort, and with Zoro doing prep work, the cook'd had the time to put up a few of Zoro's favourite extras. Even if he had made some sticky sweet thing with heart-shaped strawberry slices for dessert.
So here they were, alone at last. Dishes done, table scrubbed, deck mopped, and everything shipshape. Zoro hadn't complained; this was Sanji's galley, and nothing happened in here until it was spotless. Now. "About that fruit thing you said?"
"Right," Sanji began, bending over straight from the hips to rummage in the bottom drawer of the fridge. Zoro pinched off the... nosebleed that developed at the visual. When he looked back, there were peaches, bananas, kiwis, and two small lemons on the counter.
There followed a perfectly gratuitous demonstration of kiwis and bananas that had Zoro wondering whether he was blind or just... oblivious. Sanji certainly seemed to feel that latter was charming, though, so he decided to go with it.
"And if you look at the way the peach is formed," Sanji suggested, putting it on the counter and beginning to turn around. Zoro stopped him before he could stretch his hamstrings again. One demonstration of that view had been plenty.
"Yah, got it. Now, uh... about those lemons?"
"Pick them up. One hand, one hand. There. Now, to get the most juice out of a lemon, you roll it gently in your hand and..."
Oh. "So. Squeeze your lemons, huh?"
