Throughout this fanfic I will be attempting to use Japanese words and phrases. I may update this in the future but for now these are the only Japanese words and phrases I will be using. And this is my first ZoSan fanfic since falling in love with the character pair a while back. Thanks to everyone who reads ;)

*Katana - Traditional Japanese swords.
*Santoryu - "Three sword style." (Zoro's fighting technique.)
*Majide - A way of saying "No way!" or "Really?"
*Chan - It expresses that the speaker finds a person endearing. Chan is used for lovers in this case.
*Aitsu - A very impolite way to say "that person" or "that guy over there".

The voice was deep and husky, breathing into Sanji's ear. He couldn't see the person but he knew who it had to be. Sanji's eyes snapped open; he was awake. He sat up shakily, looking across the room to see the swordsman who was oblivious to the fact that he had been invading Sanji's dreams for nights on end. He swung his legs over the side of his bed, raking an unsteady hand through his hair he stood up.
Three more days till the holidays, he told himself walking out of the dormitory.
He glanced at the old grandfather clock sitting in the corner of the common room. 3 o'clock, he sighed turning to the balcony. He leaned against the railings lighting a cigarette held between his clenched teeth. Taking the cigarette out of his mouth, Sanji puffed out the calming smoke before putting it back between his teeth.
"Couldn't sleep," someone remarked coming to join him.
He glanced over at the figure, it was Nami.
Oh great, Sanji thought lifting his head to let out another puff of smoke.
"You know Luffy will take that off you if he catches you?" she chuckled.
"I'd like to see him try," he retorted emotionlessly.
Nami unsatisfied with Sanji's response, moved closer to him. At this Sanji's shoulders tensed.
"Look I'm sorry about yesterday, for- for what I called you," she said gesturing to the cigarette Sanji held loosely in his hand.
He passed it over to her and she took a deep breath of the toxic smoke before passing it back to Sanji.
"No, it's fine really," he began, sarcasm slick in his tone. "I bet from you faggot is a term of endearment."
"I said I was sorry," she said her patience decreasing by the minute.
"Why do you care?" he huffed.
"Well now that me and Zoro are more serious, I thought I should at least try to get along with his friends, my friends," she answered.
That name, it clawed at his heart. Sanji took another drag from his cigarette before rubbing the butt into the balcony railing and tossing it over the edge. He turned to return to the dorm when Nami grabbed his wrist. He felt heated anger at this but didn't do anything about it, she was a girl after all.
"Let go of me!" he seethed.
"Don't tell Zoro?" her eyes pleaded with him.
Sanji shook her off and stormed back to the dorm room. He calmed himself before entering as to not cause too much trouble. He took a seat on his bed, smoothing his hair back he lay down.
"The dream again?" Usopp whispered rolling over to look at Sanji.
"Yeah," Sanji murmured.
"We'll be out of here in a few days," he said hoping it would shift Sanji's depressing mood.
Sanji nodded although he knew the long nose couldn't see him in the dark.
"But knowing Luffy, he's probably invited him along with us," Usopp remarked.
"How comforting," Sanji snapped and Usopp chuckled in response.
Zoro was awake, that eroi cook had woken him up when he left the dormitory and now he was pretending to sleep all the while listening to the cook and long nose's conversation.
