You can hear it in the silence
You can feel it on the way home
You can see it with the lights out
You are in love, true love

Light streamed through the partially opened blinds as Sanji was awoken from his deep sleep. Dust seemed to dance in the air above the hotel bed as the blond shifted under the covers. He blinked himself awake and groaned, the glare from the sun nearly blinding him. The blond flipped onto his side in a useless attempt to escape the bright light, only to find a green haired lug staring at him with an unusual amount of intensity for how early in the morning it was.
Sanji's eyes widened almost comically as he met the other man's stare and backed away as far as the tiny hotel bed would allow, settling himself at the very edge before he spoke. "What the fuck Zoro? Why didn't you tell me you were awake?"
Zoro didn't respond and simply continued to stare at the bewildered blond with a strange look on his face.
"Um. What are you doing?" Sanji asked as the other man sat up, causing the mattress to creak loudly with his movements.
Zoro continued to stare from his slightly higher vantage point, making Sanji increasingly uncomfortable. "Zoro?"
"You're my best friend," the green haired man finally said, continuing to stare unabashedly.
"Uh… Y-yeah, I know. Is there a point to all this or…?" Sanji asked, fidgeting slightly under Zoro's gaze.
Zoro didn't appear to like Sanji's response and finally broke his scrutinizing gaze. The other man seemed frustrated and fisted his hands in the sheets as he huffed loudly.
"No. You don't get it Sanji. You are my bestfriend."
Oh.
Oh.
Realization struck Sanji and he nearly gasped in shock. His heart beat loudly in his chest and he was almost certain that Zoro could hear it. Sanji knew what it was. He knew was Zoro meant by those words. Zoro was in love.
With him.
Shit.
Holy shit.
Holy fucking sh-
"Oh… Uh… Yeah, um. Yeah." Sanji stuttered, glancing nervously around the room, looking anywhere but at the other man.
"Sorry. I shouldn't have said anything," Zoro muttered quietly, looking as though he was going to stand.
"N-no!" Sanji cried out suddenly, sitting up and grabbing Zoro's arm to pull him back on the bed. "I mean, you're my best friend too so… yeah."
"Really?" Zoro asked, still looking slightly bewildered by Sanji's outburst.
"Yes! Yes of course! You are my best fucking friend in the whole world."
It's silent for a moment as the two gazed at each other for a moment, just looking, until Zoro finally looked away, the light from the window making his skin almost glow. Sanji's mouth grows dry.
He's beautiful. Sanji thought to himself. Sort of. In his own weird way. Wow, this is going to take some getting used to.
"G-good," Zoro muttered quietly, rubbing the back on his neck in something that could be akin to embarrassment.
"Yeah, good," Sanji smiled widely, brought out of his thoughts by Zoro's voice. His grin was almost wide enough to hurt but he couldn't really bring himself to care at that moment. "Really good actually. Really fucking good."
"That's good."
Sanji simply laughed.
Zoro's in love.
And maybe Sanji is in love too.

A/N: What even is this? Who knows. Not me.
I was feeling inspired tonight so I finally wrote something for the first time in who knows how long. I know it's short but at least it's something.
Literally 99% of the inspiration for this fic was from the song 'You Are In Love' by Taylor Swift (My crush on her has suddenly flared up again after her new album came out. Please don't kill me.) so you should totally listen to it when it comes out on youtube because it is great. Like, wow.
