Chapter 4 “Someone to Hold Me”

“Would trusting him be so bad?”

“Takumi, will you just let it go? The Marimo doesn’t care that I am fucked up in the head so long as I take care of the kids and have food on the table.” Sanji let a breath of smoke out the opened window.

“You know that’s not true Little Prince and I thought you quit smoking.” The elder blond scolded.

“I have but as you have said this is a dream. If I can’t smoke when I am wake dreaming is the next best thing.”

“Sanji you need to talk about our past before it’s too late.”

“What do you mean too late? So a few unwanted nightmares have shown up it’s nothing to worry about or bug Zoro about.”

“The door is unlocked it won’t take much open it.” Sanji turned to see his brother standing next a black door with the name Sanji Ishikawa carved into the wood.

“Taku is that?”

“Yes it is the repressed memories and pain that you have locked away for years.” Takumi stared sadly as his baby brother flinched away from the noises that were emanating from the closed door.

“Can’t I just lock it up again and forget? It’s not who I am anymore.” Sanji pleaded as the door began to shake his memories were trying to break free.

“No you can’t Little Prince.” The blond boy began to fade in the morning light. “You are not alone anymore. Trust him…”

The door began to rattle off its hinges. A dark smoke began to seep through the bottom and fill the room. Sanji panicked as the smoke began to circle and squeeze him. He started to choke and gasp as the smoke continued to cover him.

“NO!” Zoro sat up at the shout. He was about reach for his swords while he realized the cook was screaming and crying with his body tangled in the sheets like a vice. “HELP ME! ANIKI!”

“Cook wake up.” The swordsman tried to gently wake the struggling cook by removing the tangled sheet. Unfortunately he was kicked to the wall by the freed flaying limb leaving a considerable dent. “Shit even in his sleep he has the power to break concrete.”

“Aniki…” Sanji continued to sob and thrash about. Zoro had to act fast; the chibis were already feeling their father’s distress and begun to whimper.

Throwing caution to the wind he jumped back on the bed dodging another kick and wrapped himself around the cook. He locked his legs around the slim powerful legs with some difficulty. He realized he needed to work out his legs more because he was barely able to restrain the thrashing blond. He held Sanji’s back to his chest with his arms firmly wrapped around the thin torso pinning the cook’s arms to his sides.

“Shhhh… It’s okay… Shhh… I got you Ero-cook.”

“Help… me…” Sanji continued to sob in his sleep which made the swordsman hold him all the more tighter.

“I’m here… Shhh… It’s gonna be alright.” Zoro continued to whisper into the cook’s ear. The body in his arms slowly began to relax. After a few minutes the thrashing calm to slight tremors and Sanji breathing evened out.

“You can let go now.” Zoro could hear the pain in the horse whisper but he moved his legs until they were gently intertwined with the cooks. The he loosened his arms bit but refused to let go.

“Naw, I’m comfortable.”

“That’s the second time you said that Marimo.” Sanji sighed as he moved his arms till they overlaid the tan ones.

“It’s the truth. You gonna tell me what’s got you so stirred up?”

“Nothing, I’m fine.”

“No you’re not, you haven’t been fine for over a week not since the Chibis were found.”

The cook said nothing as lazily stoked the arm that held him gently with his free hand. He was still struggling with his emotions. He did not want look weak in front of the swordsman. Takumi was right when he said that his Lady’s Man act was just an act. Even though he had some painful and traumatizing experiences he still preferred men. Men didn’t break your heart so cruelly they just used your body for release. But lately Zoro had somehow become a threat to that wall around his heart.

“Trust Him.”

Oh, how could he forget how stubborn his older brother could be? This was so hard for him. He just wanted the memories to go away. He didn’t want to risk his heart! He could hear a ghostly chuckle in the wind and his resolve wavered. The way Zoro was holding him so tenderly already had his defensive wall crumbling.

“Talk to me Cook. You really got the kids upset.”

“Shizuka! Akihiko! I got to check on them!” Sanji began to struggle once again.

“Shh... they’re fine. They went back to sleep once you calmed down.” The blond settled down once again.

“I don’t want to upset them. It’s stupid how my crappy memories are hurting my kids.” Zoro could feel tears trail over his arm.

“The boys are upset because they love you and don’t want you to be upset.”

“I don’t want to talk about my memories.”

“I know, but they seem to haunt you at night.”

“Oh and how would you know they haunt me at night?”

“We have shared a bed before and I know you are usually a sound sleeper.” Zoro could feel the cook blush all the way his toes. “I’ve also been on watch since you started taking care of the chibis. I can sense your energy and it’s become erratic at night.”

“For someone who sleeps all the time you sure don’t miss much.”

“I don’t sleep I meditate. Now get don’t get off the subject. Tell me about you memories.”

“I don’t remember all of them I spent years pushing them behind a door and locking them in the past.”

“Well I’ll listen to whatever you want to tell me.”

“Trust him.”

Sanji sighed but relaxed in the arms that held him and enjoyed the feeling of Zoro nuzzling his hair. The swordsman probably didn’t realize he was doing it. Oh how he wished it were real. That Zoro was holding because he cared deeply for him not out of pity.

“I had a brother once.”

“Aniki?”

“Oi Baka-Marimo, are you going to keep interrupting or can I talk?”

“Sorry continue.”

“I was born in the North Blue. My mother got sick after she had me and let my brother, Takumi, raise me. She died when I was six months old. The bastard that sired us was a cruel sadistic son of bitch. He was a drunk and hit us whenever he pleased. He managed to get another woman to marry him, but he just used her as another punching bag. She wasn’t all that innocent either.” More tears began to fall as the pain gripped his chest.

“It’s okay you don’t have to tell me anymore.” Zoro held him as the sobs shook through the cook’s body.

“N-n-no I have to get it out.” Sanji took a deep breath to calm himself and leaned further into the embrace. “Once he married Emiko he left us in her care. She pretended to be my mother. Takumi tried to tell me she was lying but she would whip him into silence. I tired to be good but I was clumsy and stupid. I was told that if I loved my mother I wouldn’t break things or drop the dinner on the floor. I would get five strikes for every mistake. The Bastard got a kick out of it and would drink his beer and watch us get whipped till we bled.

“When I was five she became pregnant and she had a little boy named Hikaru. He was a beautiful baby but he didn’t look like us he took more after his mother. She was not one to nurture so he was left to Taku’s and my care. We protected him from the bastard. We cared for him and loved him and because we did we received extra lashes. Emiko was insanely jealous and wanted Hikaru to love only her but she couldn’t stand to hear him cry. She would leave alone in his crib until one of us came home to care for him.

“One night she went out and the bastard came home drunk as usual. This time he had a big chip on his shoulder. One of the barkeep accused the bastard of cheating him and not paying his tab. Emiko was supposed to pay it that morning but she kept the money instead. The bastard went for Hikaru in his crib but I got to him first and took a hit to the back. Takumi tackled Him and told me to run. I ran and got the baby to a safe place under the house. I wanted go back but I couldn’t leave the baby alone.”

The pain was unbearable and the tears wouldn’t stop. Sanji couldn’t bear it any longer he turned till he faced Zoro. The swordsman didn’t see the confident cook of the Straw hat pirates. He was a scared little boy who is in so much pain he was falling apart at the seams. “I couldn’t help him. I couldn’t save him. I let that bastard beat him to death!”

“Sanji you were just a child. Your Brother was protecting you and the baby.” Zoro held on tight as the cook buried his face in the crook of his neck and cried.

Sanji let out his heart and cried in those strong arms. He never really mourned the lost of his Aniki. He hadn’t cried like this since the night after Thriller Bark. He thought that the Selfish egotistic lovable Baka-Swordsman had gone and sacrificed himself for them all! He thought that he lost Zoro. There was so much blood and the bastard just stood there and said it was nothing. That night, when everyone had gone to bed, he curled up in the corner of his room and cried. It should have been him not Zoro; just like it should have been him and not Takumi!

“No it should have been me! Aniki was smart and brave. I was just a useless, stupid, weak coward who couldn’t even spell his own name!”

“Sanji, you are smart, brave and very strong, but what could you have done at the age of five? Your Aniki knew you would be great one day and he did what he could to protect you.” Zoro didn’t know what to say. He was never good with words and he felt useless not being able to kill the demons that haunted his blond.

“Just like you?”

“What?”

“Just like you Marimo.” Sanji push away from the Swordsman, but only enough so he could glare at the clueless first-mate.

“What are you talking about? I thought we were talking about your brother.”

“We were but the similarities didn’t escape my notice. You both are stubborn men. He gave his life to save me and Hikaru and you nearly lost yours for this crew! Why? Why did you knock me out like that on Thrillers Bark? Luffy would have been lost if you died! Who would have Protected Chopper and Usopp if they did something stupid in battle? What would happen to ME you Bastard!” Sanji sat up screaming. He became so enrage that he had actually begun to hit him repeatedly in the chest as tears rain uncontrollably down his face.

“Oi Curlicue!” Zoro held his hands up trying to fend off the hits. Then in between the cook’s rants he was able to grab hold of the angry fists with one hand and flipped them over. Sanji was now pinned beneath him and struggling to get free just to hit him again. The friction on the other hand was causing Zoro to bite back the moan that threatened to escape. He only hoped the cook didn’t notice the effect he was having on his lower regions. “Sanji stop it, just stop.”

“Why? So you can run off and do something to get you killed leaving me and our sons alone?”

“Cook, now you’re just rambling and spouting nonsense. At Thriller bark I did what I had to for my captain and the crew. I know that if anything were to happen to me you would be there to hold the crew together. You are strong smart and very brave, you would have moved on in no time. You would help everyone to find their dream including the All Blue you talk about.”

“And what about your dream you shitty-swordsman? How can you be the worlds greatest if you’re dead? What good is the All Blue if I can’t share it with my all Nakama? I want to share it with you.” Sanji whispered. He looked away embarrassed on how his emotions were running away with his mouth.

“But you wouldn’t have found it, if you died. You’re important to this crew and you are more than just a cook. I go into every battle prepared to die for my dream and this crew. What I wasn’t prepared for was to watch you die. I couldn’t let you do it.” With his free hand the swordsman stroked the cook’s cheek before he nuzzled the soft slender neck. “Because I know there can’t be a Baka-swordsman without his Shit-cook.”

Sanji’s heart soared with the words the first-mate said. It wasn’t an undying declaration of love but it was a start. He had never felt love before so he wasn’t sure what his feelings for Zoro were. All he knew was that his feelings were strong and they would break if he were to lose the swordsman. When he felt his hands being release he let then fall gently around the strong shoulders. “What makes you think I’m yours, Marimo?”

“Oh you’re mine you just haven’t realized it yet.”

The cook rolled his eyes before running his fingers through the surprisingly soft green hair. He could hear the smirk in Zoro’s voice as the man pulled him until they were lying on their sides facing each other. “You are such a barbarian you don’t just claim people.”

“You like it.” The swordsman wrapped his arms the slim blond. “You, feeling better?”

“For now, but the pain seems to be less. I don’t want to reminisce any more tonight I’m tired.”

“Good the kids will want their mother soon.”

“WHAT DID YOU SAY! Oi!” The Cook’s shouts fell on deaf ears and the green haired man began to snore in his arms. He couldn’t help but smile softly at the sleeping figure. Takumi was right Zoro did help him and even eased the pain a little. “Night, you shitty-swordsman.”

XxXxXxXxXx

“Why of course, I would love to watch the chibis.” Robin smiled as she smoothed the blond chibi’s hair. “So cook-san has found an old friend here, has he?”

“I don’t trust this guy. He makes the cook nervous and he seems to want to do more than just catch up.” Zoro glared out the window with Akihiko resting in his arms.

“Hmm… We shall have to take extra care with our cook until we leave. Where is he now, I did not see him at breakfast.”

“He took Shizuka and went to the town nursery with some of the Surrogates and mothers. They wanted give him a crash course in baby care and baby first aid. Chopper went with him excited to learn new doctor stuff I guess.”

“Yes Doctor-san is always eager to learn new techniques. Why didn’t they take Akihiko with them?”

“Mini-brow here has heart-burn issues and he was too upset to go.” Zoro rubbed the tiny back and a little burp came up. “Cook said burping helps ease the pressure a bit.”

“That maybe true but I think it’s because little Akihiko attached to you. I noticed that little Shizuka is just as attached to Cook-san. Maybe they inherited more then just their looks from their parents.”

“Hn.” The swordsman turned to window to hide his blush.

“Well I will be happy to watch over them this afternoon. It will be good to see how Franky-kun behaves with them.”

“Franky? You guys getting together?”

“It is possible; he did give me a gift last night. It would be nice to be with someone who cares for me and not see me as a tool.”

“Crocodile.” Zoro turned to see the archeologist looking distant and sad.

“Yes, but he was the last in a long line people who wanted to you use me. I have knowledge and skills that people want for their own uses. It leads to a long lonely life.”

“But Luffy stopped that when he saved you didn’t he?”

“When he saved me I hated him. I was alone and had nowhere to go, but its different now. We are all together and we’ll never be alone because we are Nakama. But as wonderful as Nakama is it is nice to be cared for more than just Nakama.”

“I hope it works out for you. Maybe you can get him to wear pants.”

“No more than you will be able to get cook-san to quit smoking for good. We both know that he will start again with the kids are older.” Robin laughed as she took the sleeping chibi from his father.

“Maybe, but I ain’t going to try and stop him. It’s been nice not getting my head kicked in for awhile.” Zoro smirked before taking the eternal pose from his pocket. “Here I want you to hold on to this. We got it from the Doc last night.”

“Why didn’t you give it to Navigator-san?”

“Sanji is happy here at least during the day. He loves children and he is more relaxed even though he is restless at night. I wanted to give him time to enjoy the kids and maybe face what ever is bothering him at night.”

“I understand, cook-san hasn’t been his cheerful self for weeks.”

“So you noticed too. I thought I was the only one.”

“I believe all have noticed but only just recently. Well except Navigator-san, she is dealing with her own problems.”

“Exactly, this is why I want you to hold the pose. But if this guy Norio poses a threat I want to get Sanji and the kids away from here as fast as we can.”

“The look of, overprotective lover, suits you.”

“We were not lovers!” Zoro hissed as not wake up his son but he could feel his cheeks burn from blushing.

“Not yet, Swordsman-san.” Robin giggled and pocketed the Pose. “Very well, Franky-kun and I will take the chibis through the town and finish stocking the ship. But you should tell Captain-san before making any hasty decisions.”

“I will, thanks Robin.”

XxXxXxXxXx

Sanji pulled a little at his tie and brushed imaginary lint from his jacket as he walked down the street. Zoro watched in disgust at the cook’s nervousness. The kids were in their Mini Sunny Stroller with Robin and Franky leaving them alone for the first time in weeks. Sanji was reluctant to part with their sons but he didn’t want them around should he have a flashback or Zoro decided to kill Norio for looking at him funny.

“Sanji!”

“Norio.” Sanji waved back at the man sitting at a table outside the café.

“I’m glad you could join me. Please sit down.” Norio had offered the blond the only other vacant sit. The man was determined to ignore the Swordsman and show the man he wasn’t welcome.

“Wait Sanji since there it looks like there are no other seats we’ll have to share.”

“What are you talking about Marimo? How can we share a seat?” he cook was nervous as it was and now the Shitty-swordsman was talking nonsense.

“I am sorry Zoro. There are no other seats available maybe you can join us another time? Sanji and have a lot to catch up on.” Norio said through a strained smile.

“Like I said we can share. I wouldn’t miss the talk of Sanji’s childhood for nothing.” Zoro sat in the chair and then pulled the blushing blond into his lap.

“Zoro, this is not appropriate in public.” Sanji hissed. He was blushing like mad but he couldn’t deny how his body instantly calmed and relaxed in the arms of his Baka-Marimo.

“It’s alright Sanji. He did say you were going to share the chair.” Norio glared at the green haired man. “So what happened after you were washed overboard? My Uncle went nuts when he learned you were washed out to sea.”

“I bet he did.” Zoro could hear the bitterness in the cook’s voice even though he kept his tone light.

“Zeff jumped in after me and saved me. We were picked up by another ship and we started a floating restaurant in the East Blue.” Sanji did not mention that about being marooned on that shitty rook nearly dying from hunger. That was personal and only knew Luffy just at basics of it.

“Wow, saved by the pirate who invaded the Bella-Rose. What are you doing on the Grand Line? You are a long way from the East Blue.” Norio ran a finger lightly over Sanji’s hand on the table. The cook withdrew his hand with a slight shiver. Norio took it as a sign of buried lust he didn’t see the look of disgust in the ocean blue eyes.

"We’re following our Captain and Sanji here is our Chef. He’s the best on the Grand line.” Zoro glared at the dark haired man. He did not like the liberties the man was taking his love-cook.

“That’s wonderful. There was never a doubt that Sanji would be great one day. I’m glad to see you finally got over that silly dream of that Stupid All Blue.” Norio leaned back in his chair and laughed.

“Uh… yeah.” Sanji was crushed. He had forgotten how everyone ridiculed him about the Legendary Ocean. Only Zeff had believed it and in him to find it. That was until he met Luffy and the rest of his Nakama. They all wanted to be there with him when he found the wondrous Blue Waters. “So uh… Tell me what happen to you; why are you on the Grand Line?”

“Oh after you were washed away Uncle found another chore boy but he didn’t last long. None of them did really. I believe you were uncle’s favorite he died a few years later missing his blond angel. I am following in my Uncles foot-steps now. I run a fiery cruise between Islands. This is one of my main stops because couples want to have babies.”

“Really? That’s great.” Zoro could feel the blood drain from Sanji. He held the cook close and his body began to shake in pure fear. He felt the blond grab his hand under the table in a vice like grip. He had to get him out of there and fast.

“Well Norio it has been fun but Sanji and I need to get back to our children.”

“Oh so you are serious about them. What a shame.” The sneer on Norio face sent the Swordsman into a rage. But he couldn’t act on it now he had to take care of his love-cook.

“Yes we’re serious why would we have them if we weren’t?”

“I just happen to over hear that red haired shipmate of yours talking to some elders. She was inquiring about adoptions saying your kids were a mistake. That you both weren’t ready for them and that you were in over your heads.”

“No! Nami-san wouldn’t say that! Everyone knows we love them!” Sanji seemed to snap back to reality and was standing over his former friend and yelling in his face.

“What reason would I have to lie, Sanji? I am just telling you what I heard. She said you weren’t serious that you and Zoro hated each other and were only together because of the children. If that’s true than you should be with someone who knows you and can treat you like the Angel you are.”

“He’s treated like a Prince and it’s none of your business what our relationship is.” Zoro had, had enough of the bastard. He stood at the cook’s side with the Kitetsu withdrawn from its sheath and had it pointed under Norio chin. The sword was begging for blood and he was tempted to give in to it but the gentle but a firm hand on his arm stopped him.

“Zoro don’t kill him it’s not worth it. Listen Norio, My children are my life and I am dead serious about raising them. Zoro is their father and he won’t give them up any more than I would. I have no intention of being with anyone who asks or expects me to give up my sons. It was nice to see you Norio but I think it’s best if we left our friendship in the past. Come on Marimo our Boys need us.” Without another word he turned on his heel and left. He pulled out a cigarette and lit it. He inhaled taking in the bitter but relaxing taste of nicotine.

“If you know what’s good for you you’ll leave this island. Sanji is mine and I won’t hesitate to kill you if you upset him again.” Zoro sheathed the Kitetsu once again and started to walk away.

“You’re wrong I still have his contract. I can claim him anytime I want. I was trying to be nice and let him come back willingly.”

“I don’t care you think you have but Sanji will never be yours.” The swordsman ignored the rants of the man and went to catch up with his upset cook.

XxXxXxXxXx

Luffy was sitting on the lion head of sunny having a nice nap while Nami was updating maps on the deck. She was a little more relaxed today now that she had put the word out that Sanji and Zoro really didn’t want to keep the brats. They told her they were sad that the young couple couldn’t take the children, but it would be no problem find willing parents to take them. Now all they needed was an eternal pose and they could leave this place and things could go back to normal.

“Nami-san!” She was pulled from her daydream by shouting from the pier. She leaned over the railing and saw cloud of smoke heading to the Sunny. “Nami-san! I need to talk you right now!”

“S-S-Sanji-kun? What’s wrong?” Now she knew that the walking cloud was a pissed off chef. She didn’t know how, but somehow he found out about her talks with the elders.

“What’s wrong Nami, is that you were trying to give away my children! My flesh and blood! Why? Why would you do something like that?”

“Nami is it true?”

“Luffy you have to understand I was doing this in the best interest of the crew!” The Navigator whirled around to find her captain looking none to happy. “We’re Pirates, we can’t properly care for kids on the open sea! And Sanji they distract you from your responsibilities to this crew and to me!”

“You’re wrong Nami. Being Pirates is not the problem I told you Shanks and Mihawk raise a kid on the Grand Line.” Luffy shook his head in disappointment.

“Yeah what a Psycho she turned out to be!” The red head snapped.

“My kids are not going to be like that!” Sanji said coldly. “Akihiko and Shizuka are my life now but they do not hinder my work. I am dedicated to my Captain and Nakama not just you Nami. I will never give my children up.” Sanji eyes were tearing up but he turn to face the sea. It his heart broke that Nami would betray his trust like this but he couldn’t let her see how much she hurt him.

“Sanji’s right Nami; those Chibis are now Nakama. You don’t just send Nakama away because you think things will get tough. You are confined to the ship for the rest of our stay here, Captain’s orders. Zoro take Sanji to go find whoever Nami talk to and tell them there was a huge misunderstanding. Then go spend time with your kids send Robin back to ship when meet up.”

“Aye Captain.” It hadn’t taken long to find and follow Sanji. He was smoking like he was on fire. When he got to the ship he watched as Sanji yelled at the redheaded sea-witch for the first time ever. He knew that his blond was hurting behind that veil of golden hair. “Come on Sanji. I got your lollipops for ya.”

“Thanks Marimo.” Sanji took the offered hand and led the direction challenged swordsman off the ship.

“Nami, what is going on? I have never seen you act this way toward Nakama. You really hurt them.”

“Nothing is wrong with me! I am the only one who is trying to help this crew! Can’t anyone see that they are a risk! Why won’t anyone listen to me? I’m trying to do what’s best for this crew but no one believes me!” She broke down into sobs as she didn’t understand how everything was going wrong. She had it all planned out. The brats would get adopted and the boys would see that she was right they weren’t ready for kids. Then they would leave this island and things would go back to normal. Sanji would go back to waiting on her and doing her bidding without any fuss.

“We’re Nakama we knew the risks when we found out Sanji and Zoro became Parents. Franky built a special crib to protect them during our battles. Sanji’s room was also reinforced to withstand cannon fire. We do the impossible everyday we can help raise their children. Nami I know you want what’s best for this crew but you have to really think. Is what you are trying to do in the best interest for the crew or yourself?”

“You just don’t understand!”

“Then tell me!” Nami bit her lip trying to hold back more tears before running off to the girl’s quarters. Luffy sighed as he watched her leave. He felt like he was going around in circles with the girl and not getting anywhere. “What am I going to do with you Nami? Where did the girl I love go?”

A/N: Well here is another chapter done. It seems that my muses do not want to work on the stories I want to work on. So I am writing to the whims of my muses. Hopefully I’ll get muses back on tract and post more chapters for all stories. Until then thanks for reading and please keep reviewing.
