Inspired by my half-asleep state and this picture [x] by sarahsoak

Luffy's been attached to him for what felt like hours. And though it pained him to admit any sort of discomfort or weakness (especially to his captain)...it was getting hard to breathe with those rubbery arms wrapped around his torso. Absently, Zoro realized he would have had a much more restful nap sans Captain if he had only stayed in the crow's nest. But it was no point in thinking like that now... The situation at hand wasn't ideal but it wasn't uncommon either. He could wait this out.

Zoro had never managed to escape those long appendages despite how obvious Luffy's approach usually were. His captain had all the subtlety of a charging rhinoceros at the best of times and when it came to spending time with his nakama... Luffy had none at all. The swordsman had learned quite early on to just let Luffy have his way. Indulge the goofball and he'll be off once more - darting off to harass some other hapless soul on the ship. Sooner or later, Luffy'll have to let go. Just a little patience...

But he really missed breathing fully.

And his back ached - damn it. Try as he might, it was no use ignoring it. The longer he laid there, immobile under Luffy's weight, the more relaxed (and heavier) the other pirate got. His captain was completely unaware of this, of course. With his face firmly planted into his stomach and that bright straw hat shielding what little he could see, Luffy was in his own little world.

He could easily sit up, push the boy off him and disentangle himself from those blasted rubber noodle arms! But... Luffy looked so comfortable where he was, legs akimbo yet managing to look so small, the swordsman hesitated in rousing him. However, one particularly painful squeeze had Zoro reconsidering, "Oi, oi, baka! What the hell are you tryin' to do here?"

"Sorry, Zoro." But the smaller boy didn't make any move to right himself. In fact, the raven-haired rubbery ass pulled himself even further into his lap. Zoro watched with a sense of dread and exasperation as Luffy's sandal-clad feet dug for purchase against the wooden floorboards, propelling himself into Zoro. It wasn't until a headbutt and some awkward wiggling later, Luffy was settled - going so far as to press his nose against his collarbone. When the sensation of his breath fanning across his bare skin caused him to flinch, a sharp pinch somewhere - just where the hell were his hands?! - forced a yelp out of him. "Mrrhfhmm! Stay still!"

"I'm not your bedroll, you idiot." But he did comply, if only to avoid those ridiculously painful pincers of his.

"Don't care." Came the mumbled reply. At this angle, Zoro could pick out the faint smudges of soot down the lines of Luffy's neck, barely noticeable as if someone (probably Usopp) had wiped at it frantically, and the smell of something explosive. So he wasn't the first one Luffy paid a visit to today. 

Tch. So Usopp and Franky managed to oust him and the hyperactive rubber came to bug him then? He was suddenly irrationally irritated. It was so damn stupid but - "I wanna stay with Zoro today."

"Y-You're a damn brat, Luffy."

            [♞];  It had been a stupid plan in the first place.

            He'd been working at the Baratie for some time when a man had approached him. Asked him to take care of something for him involving a ship that may or may not be coming through in the next few days. He said something about a sheeps head on the front, and a man with a straw hat. If the boy came in, he was to board the ship one way or another and if he didn't--Sanji was to forget about the whole encounter.

            He'd done one or two things like this before, so it wasn't strange that the man had heard from him. 

            The boy had come, a fight had broke out, and he'd gotten brought into a pirate crew. Not even Zeff had known his true reasons for going with them in the end. There was something about the kids bright shining face that made Sanji want to back out of the deal he'd made with those low time mafia men, but Sanji was afraid of breaking deals with anyone. Something could happen to the Baratie or worse to the old man if he did.

            He stayed on the ship and played the roll of the chef for longer than he had ever planned. He always made the excuse in his head that he was just biding his time. The Captain's bounty was going up more and more with each passing battle, and the higher his head was the more money Sanji would get when he brought him in. Either from the men who'd hired him to join the crew, or from the marines.

            The highest bidder, he guessed. 

            Sanji wasn't sure just how long he'd float by on the crew, pretending that the reason he was here wasn't to kill their Captain, until.. Enies Lobby happened. The price on the crews heads shot up, and so did their relationship. They went through hell against the government for one of their own and came out on top. During those moments, he always felt like he was actually apart of the crew and not some murderous tag along. He'd been surprised to hear about what had happened with Robin-chan in the past and the aftermath made him paranoid.

            Would they find out about him some day? Without Sanji being the one to cause it? Would they find out his true reasons for joining the crew, but instead of helping him like they had with Robin--they would probably murder him. Robin's reasons were pure. His were tainted. It was wrong of him to even compare himself to her.

            His were money and the vague fear that wasn't even a threat of something happening if he backed out. Sanji wasn't a good person, but his crew didn't know that. 

            They would soon..

People would be coming for their heads, and he didn't want anyone else to kill Luffy but him. Call it some weird version of nakamaship but he wanted to be the one to kill His captain. Not some low rate marine or some petty bounty hunter. He didn't want to be caught, or have someone else take his prize.

So one day when the crew made port and went in for supplies, Sanji had bribed Luffy to stay back from adventure with a roast he'd made. The Captain had dug into it without hesitation as he knew he would, and then promptly fallen asleep on the table. Sanji was sure he didn't even taste the mix of medication that he had slipped inside. He knew Luffy barely tasted what he ate anyway.. 

            The Captain out, he'd locked the door and dragged him over to the bar stools lining the island. Taking out some rope, Sanji had tied his Captain up to the bar stools and crouched in front of him with a knife in hand. His heart beat heavily in his chest as he stared at the stupid sleeping face before the hand without the knife came up to slap him across the face. He'd taken the medication from Chopper's stash and knew that one of the side effects upon waking up were feeling weak and sluggish.

            Sanji wanted to kill him with his Captain awake and looking him in the eyes, but he knew he couldn't take him at full strength.

            "Oi, Luffy," his blank voice rang out. "Wake up."

I can break your spine in six places.
