He moved effortlessly, cutting the slab of meat precisely and then adding the chunks to the large boiling pot.

"How long do you plan on watching me stupid Marimo?"

Zoro looked at him, as their eyes met, his quickly darted away again and muttered something under his breath.

"What was that?" Sanji asked, moving slightly closer towards the table.

"Nothing" zoro replied once again looking sheepish.

This time sanji walked right up to the table and stabbed his knife a couple of inches away from Zoro's hand, which shot back from shock "tell me!"

Once again zoro muttered and this time sanji had really given up, he walked around to where the moss ball was sitting and put his hands either side of Zoro's head to fource it upwards, of which zoro wasn't to happy about.

Eventually zoro sighed and looked directly into the cooks eyes "promise not to laugh?" He asked "sure" sanji replied. Once again he sighed, took a long blink then reluctantly said "teach me how too cook"

With this sanji burst into streams of laughter and tears which caused zoro to fold his arms over his chest and sulk. Seeing this sanji tried to recover himself and once again made his way over to zoro, he pressed one finger under his chin and lifted his frowning face upwards, zoro shut his eyes refusing to look at the one that just broke a promise, so sanji just chuckled and placed a gentle kiss on his forehead.

"Sure, I'll teach you how to cook." He said with a smile and gave zoro a little pat on the head. "Really?" Zoro asked opening one eye to examine the chef and make sure he wasn't lying.

"Really, come on, you can help me prepare the mash potato to go with this evenings meal."

Zoro got up and followed Sanji to the counter. "Now watch closely." Sanji said to him. Whilst he was explaining the process he was about to teach Zoro, Zoro couldn't help but admire the slender and sleek physic of the person in front of him and no matter how much he wanted to pay attention to the chef he couldn't keep the tainted and dirty thoughts from entering his head.

Without knowing it he had positioned himself so he was stood directly behind Sanji and could just about peak over his shoulder so he could still see the actions that followed the instructions.

"you ready to learn?" Sanji asked, peering back, unsure what Zoro was up to.

"yeah." was all Zoro could manged, still being lost in thought.

'Now its time for the fun to start' He thought to himself and Sanji Proceeded with the instructions.
