Zoro doesn't stop for a second to think about how they're pressed against each other, or that he's not helping by pushing against Sanji in order to reach over his shoulder - or under his arm, let's try both methods - to grab at the book. Damn the fact they're both the same height and so similar in build, his arms aren't long enough. His fingers scrabble at Sanji's forearm, that's all he's got.
Then and only then does he notice that they've somehow gotten wrapped up in something that looks suspiciously like an embrace. Shit! The elbow trapped between them digs into Sanji's back, trying half-heartedly to shove him off so he can get his other hand back. It's not the strongest shove he could possibly muster, it's almost like he doesn't want to push him too far.]
