Prompt: Lost

It was only fair that a coin was flipped.

The first result bounced off the kitchen counter onto the floor. Luffy got down on the wood and glowered at the coin as he picked it up and presented it to Zoro, who also frowned.

“Do over.”

“Really Zoro?”

“Yeah. Wasn’t fair. It bounced.”

Luffy was fine with that and tossed it again. This time it landed on the counter but not before ricocheting between two cookbooks. Both glared at the coin again.

“Do over.” Zoro repeated. “Books interfered.”

Luffy nodded, tossing the coin again.

This time Luffy caught it his hand, opened his fist expectantly, and frowned at the same result. Zoro shared his frown a moment before smiling.

“You’re supposed to do this.” Zoro slapped the hand onto the back of Luffy’s other hand, reversing the coin’s outcome to both of their delight.

Chopper went over the checklist before handing it to Zoro.

“Are you sure it’s okay I go to the carnival? It’s my job to stay with him and there’s lots of hard work. He’ll need to be bathed and clothes changed and the fever is making him a little delirious.”

Zoro looked at Sanji, half asleep, panting lightly in the bed. His cheeks were red and hair mussed. Blanket halfway down to his waist and one pale shoulder already wriggled out of his light blue pajama top.

Chopper noticed and sprung into action, tucking him back in bed.

“Damn it, Sanji! He’s been doing this all day! You’ve got to watch him, Zoro. He just knows he’s hot and wants out of his clothes but he needs to stay warm and in bed. Maybe I should…”

“No Chopper. Luffy and I want you to enjoy the carnival. We had a coin toss for this, I lost.”
