Notes: Slowly easing back into the writing. Hope you like this one.
Zeff is pretty sure he committed murder the first time he caught his little eggplant with another man. His memory of the incident is pretty hazy after his first glimpse of the two, Sanji clutched in the thick, meaty arms of a particularly friendly pirate. He dimly remembers some screaming and yelling and the sounds of bones breaking and glass smashing. But then, it all goes black till the next day when he went about his business as usual, though the cooks seemed especially wary of him, there was a suspicious dark stain in the pantry, and Sanji was disturbingly quiet. Other than that, it was a normal day, though Zeff burned the soup, smashed five plates, and melted a set of measuring spoons. Then Sanji looked even more haunted.
The next day, Sanji began flirting outrageously with all the lady customers that came to the restaurant and, deep down inside, Zeff breathed a sigh of relief and kicked him only a little less harder than usual while the customers practically melted at every bite of that day's special. That night he dreamed of little blond grandchildren playing in his kitchen and a beautiful daughter-in-law who would bake mediocre cookies filled with love.
He entertained these dreams even after his little eggplant took off to pursue his dream with that idiot boy captain, but when they came back, when they got off their ship and entered his restaurant for a celebratory dinner, when he saw Sanji meet the gaze of the ship's swordsman and he saw the look in both their eyes, he immediately knew and his heart dropped. He sighed, resigned. Then he kicked both of them in the heads.
They looked at him, startled and pained.
"If you don't fucking adopt, I'll kill you both."
