words:284
rating:PG13
Pairing:San/Zo/Smo
topic: Kindess
notes: might be a tad ooc. No real excuse except a desire to get Sanji/smo back together. For the topic I really want to write Usopp (I owe someone a birthday usopp drabble too...) why can I not find long nose inspiration?
Smoker hadn’t been looking for kindness.
Not to say he couldn’t probably use some. He had washed his hands of the World Government once and for all, an act that meant he had to sacrifice his employment as a marine…a career and life he had always loved.
A foamy draft slid down the bar to his hand then. The barkeep nodded to his left and two very familiar pirates held up their drinks in kind.
The Strawhats were here? Man he would have liked to have that info yesterday…back when he had resources and gave a damn.
“What’s this for?” He asked suspiciously even as he began to sip from the glass.
“Just a gesture…a salute to your retirement.” The blond answered.
“Welcome to the dark side.” The first mate had added.
“Just because I am no longer a Marine doesn’t mean I’m to fraternize with you guys.”
The swordsman squeezed the other mans shoulder and the cook held out a hand to brush away the absurdity of the suggestion.
“Of course. Shitty retirees can be with whomever the hell they want…exactly why your new freedom deserves a drink on us.”
“Yeah. How kind…”
The two pirates exchanged a quick grin before the blond spoke again.
“The first drink maybe kindness, but we’re going to buy you another in a minute…”
“…You accept that one, and it’s more than just fraternization with us tonight.” The green haired one finished.
Smoker took a deep swallow of his beer. This had better not be some lame attempt at cheering him up.
Still, he didn’t have to be a marine to handle a couple of upstart pirates and this looked like a perfect chance to prove it.

Yes, I was the one who squealed when Sanji agreed with Zoro about waiting for Usopp to apologize post Enies Lobby. AAhhh!!
I...you always hit that exact spot of fangasm, misha.

Date: 2008-10-21 01:54 pm (UTC)I love when he's flirting with girls and zoro says one comment and he is RIGHT THERE in his face...(heheheh..)
And I LOVE LOVE when Sanji tells Nami no or ignores her completely in favor of Zoro. So that moment when he was like..."Sorry Nami-san, Zoro is right this time..." I nearly died.
Zoro being worried on the sea train for Sanji too...
*sigh*
