A/N:

Enjoy.

Sanji just couldn't lay his eyes off of this man. He, himself couldn't understand why. He just stood there, both hands on each side, legs in his usual comfortable position, eyes wide. If Law saw him right now, he knew Law would say that he looked like a complete idiot. Sanji was petrified by this bush-haired guy, and he never noticed the other man's presence until he spoke to him.

"What do you want?" Sanji jolted as he noticed it wasn't his, or the man-he's-staring-at's voice; that man just simply eyed him. Sanji quickly looked for the source and met the other man's hair. It was red and fiery like fire especially how it stood up. He slowly moved his eyes to his face: he had no eyebrows and had red drawn lips. Sanji looked at him with disgust, wondering what kind of sense this man had. That man knitted his missing brows and glared.

"I just came to take a drag." Sanji replied raising his hands up, making a purposeful innocent face. He raised his visible brow and curved the corners of his mouth into a smile. "This is usually the place I hang out to smoke. I never seen you guys. -New?"

"No." The green-head replied.

"Sophomore? Junior? Senior?" Sanji asked as he tapped out a cigarette. He offered them by pointing the open-flap of the box to them silently.

"No thanks." The green haired said. The other just shook his head. "We're both Juniors."

"Hmm. I see. I guess you guys are in the other class since I never seen you guys." Sanji mumbled. He stuck the nicotine stick between his lips and was about to ignite it, but paused. "Do you mind if I-?"

"No. Go ahead." The red head replied. Sanji smiled at him and lit his cigarette. He smiled as it calmed all of his nerves down. He puffed out a cloud of nicotine and watched it drift by the wind.

"I'm Sanji." He said as he pinched out his stress-reliever from his mouth. "Sanji Legblacken."

"Zoro Roronoa." The green head replied politely.

"Kidd Eustass." The other said lazily.

Zoro Roronoa, huh? Sanji noted and smiled to himself. Then suddenly, Sanji started to choke and cough. The other two just looked at each other. Why the hell am I glad to know Zoro's name? Don't tell me I'm gay! Sanji continued to wheeze and cough until pools of tears were created along his eyes.

"...Are you okay?" Zoro asked as he started to pat his back. Sanji felt his soul fly to Wonderland- but was soon struck down knowing that the bliss of happiness was created by a guy.

"Do you always do that when you smoke?" Kidd asked bluntly.

"No."Sanji grumbled. He felt exhausted after the fits of coughs and his unknown jolt in his heart for Zoro.

But Sanji, being an experienced teen when it comes to relationships, knew what the flutters in his stomach and the loud beating of his heart was: he was in love- with a guy. He didn't want to admit it, but he knew all too well what it was. He couldn't believe that there was a slight chance of him becoming gay at all. Sanji grinded his teeth and peeked at Zoro, who was still patting his back. Their eyes met and his heart skipped a beat. He quickly broke the eye contact.

I can't believe I became love-at-first-sight with a guy!

Thankfully, Sanji knew how to quickly break that spell: it was to get to know him more.

Whenever he instantaneously fell in love with a girl and starts going out with her, their relationship never lasted. Usually he finds out how that person is: whether she's disorganized, greedy, picky with food, or whiney. The character of the person was the most important thing, and instantly falling in love usually meant that he loved the physical appearance.

He experienced this a lot and most of the time, it ended in three weeks or less. He believed that the most fastest way to get rid of these love symptoms was to go out with them or see that person more often. (Nami was an exception...) Sanji was determined to quickly carry on with this love and quickly get it done with it.

"Thanks Zoro." Sanji finally made out. He smiled with his best and tried to act normal. "This was the first time I ever ditched during this period. Otherwise, I might've met you guys sooner." He stared at Zoro with soft eyes, creating a 'moment.'

"I doubt it." Kidd budged in. "We only ditch on Wednesday at this period every week, only once a week; unlike you 'addicted.'" Sanji glared at him as he stubbed out his cigarette. He had to think how to meet Zoro more often; once a week wasn't enough to end this sickness faster.

"Well, I don't know what the future for each 'what if's' would bring. -But so far, I like you guys." Kidd made a face tantamount to seeing a person eat ice cream sandwich dipped in salsa. "No! Not like that!" Sanji lied. "I mean, you guys are like my other friends. I kinda' want to get to know you guys more." Sanji ended with a pleasant smile that usually shot an arrow through most of the girl's heart- this was his best weapon to make a girl drop. The two just stared at him, not being affected by his smile. "Uh- So... what lunch do you have: A? B?"

"...We both have A." Zoro answered after a pause.

"Really? Great!" Sanji replied a little too enthusiastically. He was truly glad they were (not so much about Kidd). He couldn't believe how easy this was going to be. "Me too!"

Then the bell rang for next period. All three started walking away from the building. "So, do you want to meet at lunch tomorrow? Where do you guys hang around?"

Zoro quickly explained where they usually ate as Kidd watched Sanji with suspicion. Sanji ignored Kidd stare and listened to Zoro carefully. Then the two left for their own class.

"...I can't believe I asked them to become my friends so bluntly..." Sanji murmured to himself. He wondered if he acted a little stupid in the process. He decided not to think about it. He rolled his eyes and tried to shrug it off. At least he could see him tomorrow.

Then a problem struck his head: he completely forgot about including Law in the whole situation. Of course Law would be suspicious about Sanji making new friends all of a sudden and eating lunch with them the very next day (anyone would). He knew he would have to get past that huge hurdle: telling Law he fell in love with a guy. He just wanted to hide the fact to himself, but it wasn't possible with his best friend. Sanji couldn't imagine how his reaction would be. Also, he had to tell him fast; Sanji had already promised Zoro to meet him up tomorrow at lunch. Sanji knew the right time and place to tell him was after school, when Law came over to his house for dinner. Sanji needed to consider how to tell Law about this whole mess, so he decided to ditch next period also.

o-o-o-o-o

"What was with that guy? He's creepy." Kidd said as the two walked away from Sanji. "What do you think Zoro?"

"Nn? He doesn't seem that bad. Maybe he's one of those people who wants everyone to become his friend."

"You think? Well, to me, it seems like he's after you."

"Really?"

"Yeah. It's obvious. But just to make sure, I want to see his face tomorrow."

"Me too. He seems pretty friendly."

A/N: I hope you enjoyed it. I'm hoping to updated next chapter on Friday or so. I'm hoping I can.

Thank you for reading.
