At Last
Yay! My first One Piece story.
I have only seen the shows up until they meet Franky, which a relief for me as I don't know what I would do with an even bigger cast. Actually, Franky doesn't make an appearance.
Sanji really loses it in this story, I apologize for his out of character behavior.

One of Zoro's favorite pastimes was to watch Sanji work. He used any excuse to hang out in the galley and watch him. He loved looking at Sanji's body as he bent and stretched while cooking. Sanji was getting ready to wash dishes and Zoro was already finished sharpening his swords. Sanji bent over to get the wash basin. Zoro admired Sanji's ass, the guy had a nice shapely butt. Sanji broke into Zoro's thoughts.
"If you are done with your swords, why don't you help me?"
"Alright." Zoro said with a slight smile, any excuse to be near him. Sanji filled the basin with soap and water dunked the first load in. He purposely worked slowly, he needed to talk to Zoro.
"Um, I am sorry."
"For what?"
"For liking Nami so much."
"Don't apologize if you truly liked her, own it."
"I did, that night we all got so drunk…She was plastered and laughed in my face that she could never, ever love me. The next morning I confirmed it with her. I've been a fool…"
Sanji began to weep. Zoro's heart broke, he put the plate down and pulled the other boy into his strong arms. Sanji let loose, he never cried like this before, but for the first time he got his heart broken. He clung to Zoro and wept for several minutes until he could cry no more. Zoro pulled a handkerchief out his pocket and gave it to Sanji. Sanji blew his nose. He cuddled up to Zoro it felt right to be in his arms. Zoro smelled of grease and sweat and something unidentifiable, Sanji loved that smell.
"You really loved her." Said Zoro
"Yeah I flirted with a lot of girls, Vivi and Robin included in the mix, but Nami was special, I never felt that way about anyone else…Well almost no one..."
Sanji looked sideways at Zoro, in a way that made his heart flutter. Before Zoro could collect his thoughts, Sanji continued:
"I spent the last week mourning over the loss and thinking how much of a fool I was over her."
Sanji looked sideways at Zoro again then buried his face in Zoro's broad chest in embarrassment.
"I'm sorry because I knew all along that you loved me, and I wasted so much time on her when someone else wanted me…I am also a coward…I never had a b-boyfriend before. I kept saying to myself. 'Zoro doesn't love me, I'm seeing things. There are so many pretty girls in the world. Nami will love me back…'"
Fresh tears streamed down his face. Zoro's heart sped up. He thought:
"Could it really be true, is he finally mine at last?"
"Your heart is beating so fast, do you really love me that much?"
"Yes."
Sanji cuddled closer and gave Zoro a squeeze.
"I truly love you Zoro. I loved Nami too but you are number one in my heart now."
"Look me in the eye and say that."
Sanji pulled back and looked Zoro straight in the eyes and said in a firm voice:
"I love you, only you, for now on you are the only one I'll see."
Zoro melted at that declaration. He moved his hands to either side of Sanji's face, and said in a clear voice:
"I love you."
He tilted his head and kissed Sanji very softly a few times. It was Sanji's turn to melt and the gentle kisses made his heart flutter. They made out for a while, Sanji let Zoro take the lead, as he was exhausted from the crying. Zoro pulled back and said:
"These dishes aren't going to wash themselves."
Zoro knew Sanji let him dominate the kisses. He looked forward to the fights they will have, and the making up. Sanji felt the water, it was cold.
"Zoro refill the basin, I need to wash my face, sorry for getting all girly there…"
"Forget it."
Sanji nodded his head and said:
"What will we tell the others? This boat is too small to hide this from them and frankly I don't want to."
"That's good, because they already know."
"How?"
"Usopp peeped in a while ago, I saw him out of the corner of my eye."
"Oh."
"I think the others peeped as well, soon afterwards."
"Oh."
"Part of my skills as a trained swordsman is to notice my surroundings at all times."
"Right…Maybe Usopp can build us a separate bedroom…ugh I need to wash my face. We'll talk about it later."
Sanji made his escape.
"He is too cute. I am too happy, he's mine at last." Thought Zoro
Zoro dumped out the cold water and refilled it with hot. Sanji returned looking fresh and happy. He gave his new boyfriend a squeeze and they began washing the dishes with sappy grins on their faces.
Later the other crew members poked their heads in to the galley.
"You guys sorted everything out?" Asked Robin
"Yeah." The boys said together.
"That's awesome you guys!" said Luffy and he came all the way in along with everyone else.
"We should throw a party!" said Usopp
"Yeah, with a big cake!" said Chopper
"Alright. I'm in such a good mood, I'm sure dinner will be awesome." Said Sanji
"We will all help." Said Zoro while he placed his swords.
"Yeah! Party! Party! Party!" everyone but Nami began to chant and laugh. Sanji noticed her long face. She began to cry which caught the attention of everyone else. Robin moved to comfort the girl.
"I'm sorry Zoro, I'm so sorry. If I knew you loved Sanji, I would have told him the truth sooner and moved aside for you."
"It's ok Nami, better late than never. Though you owe me, you know." Said Zoro
"I expect he's right." Said Sanji and the others nodded their agreement.
"I'll make it up to you guys and for now on I promise to be less selfish and more aware of how others feel." Said Nami
"Don't make promises you can't keep." Muttered Zoro.
"Come on Nami, cheer up it's a party." Said Luffy
Chopper put chopsticks in his nose and hinged his mouth open and Luffy and Usopp copied him. The three goofballs cheered Nami and she laughed. Soon everyone was laughing and the crew started to party. Sanji quickly made up some food. Zoro passed around the beer. Robin set the table and Nami found some decorations. The other three boys made nuisances of themselves. Soon the crew of the Straw Hat Pirates sat down to dinner and took turns toasting the new couple late into the night.

There is a part two, it is about what was going on with the rest of the crew while the guys were settling things.
