Its constructive... kinda...

I was in a good mood until about 3pm yesterday. Then the fecal matter hit the air circulation device. This is my stress relief. I tend to take these sort of things out on my favorite characters (ya, I'm sick) and as Zoro staunchly refuses to angst... well, to quote xparrot... "Sorry, Sanji-kun..."]

Notes: Because 'Special' doesn't necessarily mean 'good'


Still as it may be, the frigid air gradually leeched precious heat from his body. Sitting huddled in the jagged grotto, Sanji listened for any sounds above. It was dead quiet; not even a bird to be heard for all he strained.

Like a frozen moment... crystallized, for only him to see. It might even have been pretty; with the glassy ice catching the light just right... if he hadn't lost his cigarettes on the way down, and the fall hadn't done something to his back so he couldn't reach them.

But Nami-san was safe; he had gotten her out of harm's way, and she had gone for help, so it wouldn't be long before he could have his precious nicotine, and a warm drink, and then it would be time to make dinner...

He wasn't sure how long he sat, gazing at the cigarettes, not 10 feet out of his reach. It probably wasn't a good sign that he had stopped shivering sometime during that quiet contemplation. But the terrain was so bland, so easy to get lost there- and with Luffy or Zoro's sense of direction, even Nami-san would be hard pressed to lead them here. They were likely still looking for his lonely crevice among the crags and rocks.

He spent the next several minutes pushing down the galling thought of being saved by the cabbage-head.

Finally, someone above called his name- nearly screaming to be heard at distance. Most people would think Luffy was angry when he used that tone, but the cook knew better; could hear the desperate edge to his voice.

He wanted nothing more than to call out, let his captain know he was alright- assuage his fears, but he couldn't quite muster the strength to.

So very tired... maybe he would have the energy after a short nap...


Forgive me, 'twas written in roughly 15 minutes. And no, I don't know why I keep reverting to old english in this post. o_O;;

Nnnnnooooo~ Sanji, don't sleep >.< *whaps him*

So .. much ... teh angst ... I cry.

[lady-karasu.livejournal.com]

*hugs* Don't worry- he'll survive... the only ones I've ever been in a bad enough mood to kill have all been in Trigun. ^_^ (Poor, poor Vashu...)

[vejiicakes.livejournal.com]

You killed Vash??? Jesus, why don't you just kick a puppy while you're at it?? T_T

[lady-karasu.livejournal.com]

Hmmm. I could probably work kicking a puppy into that... (Just kidding ^_~) Well, if it makes you feel any better, Vash kinda did himself in when he lost it and took Knives out- after Knives killed the insurance girls. (Ya, I was having a 'Clamp' moment...)

[vejiicakes.livejournal.com]

Ah, CLAMP. What would we do without the pretty boy angst? *^_^*

Maybe Vash could like, fall on top of a tiny, frail puppy and crush its little bones as he dies ...

[bluepard.livejournal.com]

Very Sanji. Forget dying, give me my cigarettes.

[lady-karasu.livejournal.com]

*laughs* You know he would, too... ^_^

[inu-neko.livejournal.com]

Aah, you'd better write a happy ending for this! T__T

[lady-karasu.livejournal.com]

*pats* Don't worry, he'll live (I'm in a much better mood now ^_~) There's another bit dying to come out of this now, I'm just debating on if it'll be a drabble or a one shot. My muse started in on me with it yesterday. Eh, I'll work on it at work tomorrow (er... at lunch, of course.... ¬_¬)

[dethorats]

Agh! Angsty! I'm glad to read that Sanji will survive. Poor, poor Sanji. And poor, poor, hungry Luffy who may have to endure someone else's cooking.

[lady-karasu.livejournal.com]

Hmmm.... *cackles* I think you just gave me an evil idea. XD *starts writing again*

[xparrot.livejournal.com]

ahhh, hypothermia ^__^ poor Sanji-sicle, must be thawed! se~quel~...? *gives you big brown puppy-eyes* a one-shot, even?
& hope things de-stress for you!

[lady-karasu.livejournal.com]

Now how could I say no to the puppy eyes? ^_^ Already started (at lunch... ya... at lunch... ¬_¬) It looks like it'll even have a chapter count- if only 2 or 3. It's not a drabble, I'll give it that. [There are a number of things I would LIKE to say to the Sanji-sicle thing... but I'll just content myself with imagining them. XD]

(Thanks, too- with any luck the computer with be fixed tonight, and all will be well again. ^_^)
