[For obvious reasons... Sanji's not up to cooking Thursday night.
And believe him, not for lack of trying, either. It just so happens that getting injured turned his roommate into a severe housewife who will drag him by his hair out of the kitchen, and even Sanji isn't in the mood to test his luck. Zelos isn't in the room currently, but for once in his life?
Sanji stays put.
Still, mood spoiled by his obedience, he decides he might as well change bandages if he's going to sulk. It's gonna be slow-going and painful -- he's only just recently broke his fever, and stitching up a wound is no joke -- but he's hoping his hands will stop quaking long enough to see some progress]
It's not as good as Sanji's, very few things on this earth are, but there is an Attempt. He'd been watching Sanji cook for a few weeks straight now after all, and he's gotten a sense of what seasonings and spices to use, and a better sense of timing. He's been trying. Hence why he brings in the tray of food -
And pauses when he realizes exactly what he's looking at.]
[Sanji's getting really damn tired of everyone judging his attempts to look after his own body here, hence the growl and how he just keeps right on going peeling the bandages off.]
They gotta come off every few hours. I'm not surviving getting skewered just to die of disease.
You know you're partners, right? So he'll just be more bothered if you keep trying to do things without him.
[Just saying - but Jae-ha doesn't seem like he's going to tattle. He'll do as he said and take care to wash his hands before going back to check on Sanji's wound.]
Now come on, I'm already here - I'll take care of it.
I've started to try to feed people in your stead - I have big shoes to fill but I'd like to at least give it a shot before you push yourself too far, you know?
So you'll have to tell me where to improve.
[But he can keep up conversation easily - talking about everything except what actually got Sanji into this state. If that's what he needs, it's fine.
Ah, he's just that type of person. He probably won't admit that he likes you for a while, because it'll have to mean admitting that there's someone getting close to him again.
Only because he thought I was going to die. He's shut me out again, probably because he doesn't trust that I won't use what I've learned against him. I don't know where people could get that impression about me...
[Just saying.
But.]
You know that you're full of -
What's your word...
'Bullshit'?
[even as he keeps diligently cleaning sanji's wounds!!]
week 2, thursday
And believe him, not for lack of trying, either. It just so happens that getting injured turned his roommate into a severe housewife who will drag him by his hair out of the kitchen, and even Sanji isn't in the mood to test his luck. Zelos isn't in the room currently, but for once in his life?

[He's exhausted with you, Sanji, and he's going to help himself to Sanji and Zelos's bathroom - ]
I'm washing my hands. Do you need anything else or did you hoard all the supplies to yourself already?
no subject
[Jae-Ha isn't in the room. Sanji can afford to look as defeated as he feels. But he keeps his tone carefully neutral.]
And I took what I needed. I got bandages and soap in here.
no subject
[Just saying - but Jae-ha doesn't seem like he's going to tattle. He'll do as he said and take care to wash his hands before going back to check on Sanji's wound.]
Now come on, I'm already here - I'll take care of it.
no subject
But he won't argue if Jae-Ha wont, and lowers his hands from the bandages he already half-ripped open]
... You cooked?
[He doesn't want to talk about his stupid ass wound, thanks.]
no subject
Hence the pleased little hum.]
I did. You'll have to critique it - it's probably a pale comparison of yours, but I did try to pick up a few things after watching you for so long.
no subject
[That's not really the surprising part. It's that Jae-Ha was able to translate that into food that has Sanji almost smiling.]
Heh... I could've offered lessons if you really wanted 'em.
no subject
That's more of the kind of expressions that Jae-ha wants to pull from him. He smiles back.]
Ah, but where's the fun in that? I thought I'd surprise you.
no subject
[What a wonder. He shakes his head, only grimacing slightly when shifting around pulls at his side]
Well, color me surprised.
[...]
Can't wait to try it.
no subject
So you'll have to tell me where to improve.
[But he can keep up conversation easily - talking about everything except what actually got Sanji into this state. If that's what he needs, it's fine.
Jae-ha can adapt.]
no subject
Sanji isn't going to say a word about it for now, except--]
If you're already feeding people, feed that stupid ass roommate of mine, will ya? He likes hot food.
no subject
[ - but Jae-ha doesn't see an issue with that.
He manages to swap into the responsible role far too easily.]
no subject
Nothing cold.
[Zelos has had enough of that, his tone seems to imply.]
Bastard makes it hard to tell what he really likes, sometimes. He never praises my food.
no subject
Ah, he's just that type of person. He probably won't admit that he likes you for a while, because it'll have to mean admitting that there's someone getting close to him again.
And here that's something he could lose.
[gigi's going to hate us when we unlock this pc?]
no subject
[oh she is going to hate us so much]
... I told him I was going to the maze, and he insisted he tag along. I'm like an investment he's gotta keep track of.
[There is nothing sad in his voice. Just pragmatics.]
I'm sure getting hurt didn't warm him up to me.
no subject
Do you think he's that cold?
I know that he pretends - but did you fall for it?
1/2
He didn't fall for it.
Sanji just wishes he would be that cold to him.
he doesn't know how else to repent]
no subject
[Dismissing the matter again.]
You seem to know him better than anyone, so I'll take your word for it.
no subject
[Just saying.
But.]
You know that you're full of -
What's your word...
'Bullshit'?
[even as he keeps diligently cleaning sanji's wounds!!]
no subject
The fuck did you say?
[At least his injury has not short circuited his temper. Then they'd really have to worry]
no subject
because
of course he does]
Shall I repeat myself?
no subject
Oi now, don't get too familiar...
no subject
Don't move around so much, you'll make it harder for me to bandage you up again.
