Chapter 1: Last Day

It's always the same with him; he never changes. I could be away from him for thirty years and the idiot wouldn't even have an ounce of maturity in him. For as long as I've known him, and that's too damn long, he's always been like this. Always.

Always rushing into things head-on without even using his head to think. Always yelling no matter who the person is. Always being obnoxious and annoying. Always goofing off. Always being a pain in my ass. Always, always, always.

Lord, why have you brought this tornado into my life? Have I done something to upset you? Is it because I changed the channel when that commercial came on about the starving children? Is it because I have not gone to church enough? I promise to be better! Just please….please take this disaster away from me. Far, far away.

"""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""

"Sanji! Sanji! Saaaannnjiijijijijiiiijjiii!"

"Sounds like he's excited about something."

Sanji sighs and straightens the papers into a folder that are on laid out on the desk in front of him. "I don't care how excited he is, he doesn't have to yell that loudly."

Nami brushes a stand of her hair from her face to behind her ear. Man, he loved it when she did that. Sanji just wanted to reach out and do it for her, but he knew he'd get a lawsuit on his hands. There was an unspoken agreement in their relationship and that was: NO touching. She had made that perfectly clear when she gave him a glare that would have killed him if he looked for too long. Now, this doesn't mean no accidental bumps, no no. But if he touched her on purpose, especially in the way he wanted to touch her, all hell would break loose.

"Try telling that to him."

Sanji chuckles a little. "If you are not talking about meat, I don't think anything gets through that skull of his."

Nami shared a chuckle with him before the door swung open to the small room they were in. They both look at Luffy who is panting hard and trying to catch his breath while leaning a hand against the door-frame. "I….I….."

Sanji and Nami just look at him, waiting.

"I…need meat."

Sanji quickly throws a small paper-back book that was on the table at the boy. "That's what you came in here for, screaming my name?!"

Luffy looks at the book that was thrown at him and tosses it over his shoulder, out in the hallway, uninterested.

"Hey!" Nami storms by him. "That's mine!"

"No no, listen!" Luffy protests. "I just realized that I want meant. What I came in here for is that I have some shocking news!"

"Okay," Sanji rest his elbow onto the table while his cheek rests against his hand. "I'm listening."

Luffy takes a deep breath in. "Okay, you may want to sit down and prepare yourself."

Sanji growls in frustration. "I'm already sitting down!"

The other boy grins. "Oh right."

Nami walks pass Luffy again, into the room. "So what's with all the noise?"

"Sanji did you kniow?!"

The blonde and red-head lean in closer.

"TODAY IS THE LAST DAY OF SCHOOL!"

. . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

"No shit bird-brain!" Sanji grabs Luffy in a head-lock.

Nami sighs and starts to walk away. "Honestly, wasting my time."

The blonde quickly lets go of Luffy and waves fast and hard. "Goodbye Nami! See you soon!" Ah, how he adored Nami with all his heart. She was pretty, smart, and pretty, and pretty.

"Usopp!" Luffy ran to his friend who came into the room.

"What's with all the yelling? I could hear Sanji's name being shouting all the way in my classroom."

Luffy raised his hand as Sanji pointed to him. "That was me! Usopp did you know!?"

Usopp went into the mini fridge in the corner of the room and opened it. "Did I know what?"

"That today is the last day of school."

The other black-haired boy nearly spat out his root beer soda in shock at the words. "Of course!"

Luffy frowned. "Aw man everyone knew but me?"

Sanji stood up. "Sure did. Don't forget to close the door when you're done."

"Wait Sanji!"

He turned his head.

"Don't you want to take your stuff?" Usopp shook his soda.

"I'll get it at the end of the day." With the folder in his hand, Sanji waved back at the two. "See you later."

Luffy jumped up and down with joy. "LATER!"

Ugh. So loud. Why must they be so loud? It's not as bad as some people though. At least they were his friends so he could tolerate it more. Sanji made his way through the hallways and smiled at all the girls, no matter how he felt about them. No lady is loud. Girls should not need to be loud if a man is treating them right. And boy did he know how to treat a girl. The only exception to yelling was Nami. She was allowed to yell because Luffy and Usopp, especially Luffy, are always up to no good and doing something stupid. She could yell at them and he could give them a knock on the head with his fist. Not that that taught them anything; they still did as they pleased.

"Sanji."

Taken from his thoughts, he looks behind him with smile, knowing it's a female. "Yes, my darling?" He couldn't remember her name. Heck, he's spoken to so many females, practically everyone, so he can't remember them all. He's only human after all.

The girl blushed. "I'm..gonna miss you're cooking. It was really good."

"Ah, why thank you my dear."

"And…I really appreciate the tips you gave me so that I could be a better cook myself."

He nodded. "Anytime."

"So…" Ah, she was so fragile, and delicate. He felt as though one touch of his finger could make her squirm and fall into a million hearts. "I made you something." She shoved it in his personal space, a box that is.

"Oh my, you didn't have to." As he opened the box his grin grew bigger. "It looks good!" Sanji picked up the little plastic fork that was in the container and placed some food into his mouth with grace. As soon as the food touched his tongue, his taste buds were screaming at the sensation. Not a good kind of scream, a terrible bloodthirsty scream. Too much salt. Way too much; and it was even cold. Guess she couldn't really help that but she should have made something cold or room temperature. The blonde forced the food down his throat, ignoring his body's rejections and smiled. "This is nice; thank you so much."

The girl squealed with excitement and ran away to a group of friends who were waiting, and hiding, around the corner.

Sanji ate the rest of the meal while he continued to walk the halls. The rice was cooked too long, and there was too much sauce and it was taking away the real flavor…or what was left of it. As he finished the last bite, he opened the door to his classroom before the bell rang for lunch to be over. The girls all turned their heads to him and ran up to him, shoving boxes into his face and chest. Dear God, they all made food.

"""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""

With a bag full of boxes of food, and a sigh, Sanji slowly made his way down the hall. It was nice and peaceful since the day was over; the last day. Hardly anyone was left in the building except for the faculty. Everyone was excited to go home and do whatever it is that fulfills them. A lot of the guys in his classes were talking about some new game that came out. Something about shooting, and zombies, and….whatever. Sanji just needed to make a quick stop before heading home and preparing for the meal.

He stopped in front of a door that had the sign "Student Council" on it, while the door itself was ajar. "Dammit I thought I told those guys to shut the door when they were done." As he turned the corner of the wall at the door, what's in sight is a shock: a butt.

Standing up, a man turns to face Sanji, with cans of soda and a bag of food in his hands. "Hey."

"Don't hey me! What do you think you are doing?! That's my stuff!"

"It is?"

In anger, Sanji storms over to him and grabs the bag. "It has my name on it!" He points to the bag. "That means it's mine."

"Huh. Didn't see that."

Sanji hangs his head in exhaustion.

"I thought everyone was gone."

The blonde was about to protest, but, it occurred to him. Maybe he was hungry and not just looking to pick a fight or steal or stop his boredom. He did look a bit hungry. With a sigh, "You can have it."

"You sure?"

Sanji waves his hand. "Yeah, whatever." He needs it more than I do.

The other man looks down at the food. "Cool."

Cool? That's all he could say was cool? Whatever, as long as a hungry person was fed.

The man walks to the door before stopping.

Sanji looks back at him.

"See ya."

Sanji opened his mouth but before he could say anything, he was gone. Strange. He walked over to the fridge, expecting it to be empty. There was one little box left on the top rack. He grabbed it, and headed for the door.

"""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""

Tonight was going to be wonderful. Everything was going to be perfect. Okay, maybe not perfect; it wasn't going to be that good of a night. But it was defiantly going to be special. That was for sure. It was the last day. One final day for everyone to celebrate together. Not that they were never going to see each other again, but, you know.

Sanji did think about trying a move on Nami. Nothing big; but something subtle and soft. He thought about it over and over practically all day. It was always in the back of his mind. However, he also feared that something terrible would happen as well. Nami would reject him, but not in a normal way you would think. But in a way that would crush his very heart and soul. He feared that Nami would reject him and his whole being. He feared she would stop talking to him all together and cut him from her life. He would rather keep his distance than to have that happen. But still, having the thought of Nami accepting his feelings was a wonderful feeling indeed.

Now all he had to do was go home and prepare for tonight. To prepare for this wonderful night that would bring everyone together. Sanji smiled with new-found glory and dedication. There was nothing that was going to stop him.

"Sannjiiii"

Nothing that was going to alter his mood.

"Sanji! Ji! Ji!"

Nothing…..Nothing at all….

"Saaaaaaaaa-"

"What Luffy?!"

"Hurry up and get inside!"

Sanji walks up to his front door and sighs. "First of all, I live here. Why are you rushing someone who lives here?" He puts the key in the key-hole. "Why are you here?"

The boy grins. "I was too excited to wait!"

"Couldn't you have gone to Usopp's?" They walk in the house.

The black-haired boy runs around. "Sanji your place is always so clean! No, I wanted to help!"

The other boy put his book bag on a nearby chair. "Oh?"

"Yup!"

"You want to see the meat, don't you?"

With a big grin, "YUP!"

"""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""

"Phew." Sanji wipes the sweat from him forehead with his arm. "Everything is finally done."

"Ohhhhh man this looks so goooood!" Luffy runs from one place to the next around the dining table, admiring all of the food.

"Especially the meat?"

Luffy looks up in confusion. "Of course!"

As Sanji laughs he can hear voices outside his door. "It's open!"

His door swings open with Usopp charging in with a bag held high.

Sanji takes Nami's coat and places carefully on the back of a couch. "What's that?"

The boy grins. "It's sake!"

The blonde glares at him. "How are you going to get home?"

Nami steps in. "I have a friend that is going to take us home."

Sanji looks at the red-head. "You too Nami?"

She smiles. It's not a party without a little fun!" She waves a bottle in the air.

With a sigh and a smile, Sanji shakes his head. "Well, the food is all ready."

Usopp walks to the food. "It all smells so good! I can't wait!"

Luffy raises his hand. "I get the meant!"

Nami hits him on the back of his head. "You can't have it all you twerp!"

"Awww mannn." He crosses his arms.

Yes. Tonight, will be great.

"""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""

"Byyyeeee Nami!" Sanji waves enthusiastically.

As Usopp and Nami leave in the friend's car, Luffy stumbles out of the house with his hands on his stomach. "Boy, I'm stuffed! Everything was great Sanji!"

"Thanks Luffy." He pulls out a cigarette from the pack in his hand.

"Aren't those things bad for you? You should quit."

Sanji laughed. "The day I quit smoking is the day you stop eating meat."

Luffy's eyes go wide. "That's impossible!" He raises his arms and shouts "I love meat!" He turns back to the blonde. "See ya!"

"Later." He nods.

Luffy stumbles, from being full, to his old, beat up car before driving away.

Sighing, Sanji walks back into his house. "This is a huge mess, thanks to Luffy." Taking a look around the room, he sees used paper plates all over the counters and table that Luffy had left for him to clean up. He didn't mind though. He fed his friends, laughed, and had fun. That was all that mattered.

After cleaning up the mess, and putting away what little leftovers there were(since they took some for themselves), Sanji felt the need for something sweet. He needed some dessert. After putting the last container of food away in the fridge, he sees the small container that he took from the club's mini fridge. He never even looked to see what it was. Taking it out, he sits down at the now empty table and grabs a fork from the drawer. Opening the container, Sanji smiles.

Chocolate cake. His favorite.
