Sanji made it to the eighth floor glancing left he noticed a few doors to apartments and at the end of the short hall a door.

It had a conveniently large sign stating roof access. It's as though someone was trying to make this easy for him.

He passed the doors smiling slightly at door 804 as the numbers had been replaced with bright green ones.

Guess he now knew where Zoro lived. He opened the roof access door and headed up the last flight of stairs.

The door at the top was open. The view was beautiful with the park visible off the front of the building.

Sat on the edge of the roof staring at that exact view was Zoro. Although it was still dark Sanji would recognise that outline anywhere.

'Hey Marimo you didn't answer your phone'

He slid his hand into his suit trousers and ran his fingers over the broken phone.

Zoro leaned back slightly and took a long drink out of a bottle he was holding.

'If you'd told me what had happened to the dojo I would have come you know mosshead'

Sanji waited but the stubborn bastard stayed silent.

'Zoro' Sanji's voice cracked slightly, he really didn't want to ask this 'Where are Koshiro and Kuina? Are they ok?'

He edged closer to Zoro, he wasn't sure if the moss brain was the kind of person who would jump, so the closer he got the better he felt.

Zoro took another long drink from the bottle, he held it up checking it was empty and placed it next to himself.

'Their dead Cook, I got out the building, they didn't' He gave a dark chuckle 'I tried to find them but I ended up outside, I wanted to go back in, fucking medics gave me a sedative and dumped me at the ambulance'

Zoro sighed, Sanji was close enough now to see that he was shaking slightly.

'When I came round it was too late the building had collapsed, the medic told me no one else got out'

He picked up another bottle, opened and drank deeply again.

Sanji pulled out his cigarettes and went to sit next to Zoro, his usual white t-shirt was blackened, his haramaki was missing.

He lit his cigarette 'Shit I don't even know what to say, asking if your ok would just be stupid'

Zoro laughed again 'Doesn't this come under the emotional shit that you don't want to deal with'

Sanji cringed he had said that when they started, well being "friends". He avoided relationships because he found they left him drained. He loved woman, he loved praising them and making them happy but being like that all the time left him worn out. He couldn't complain to them or let them know when he down.

He told Zoro that he was interested in guys because he then didn't have to deal with the emotional shit has he had so eloquently put it and he didn't have to be nice all time. With him and Zoro the constant insults just worked, left him relaxed.

'Look Sanji I'll be fine I'm not gonna jump if that's what you're worried about, you can go back. Sun's not even up yet bet she won't have noticed you're missing'

Zoro took another swig, as he brought it back down he noticed Zoro shift slightly, almost as if he were drunk. Zoro never got drunk, Sanji suddenly remembered the blood he'd seen on the tv. He grabbed Zoro's chin turning him so he could see his left side, there was blood-soaked gauze over his left eye, the hair above it was caked with blood too.

'Why the hell are you not at the hospital?' Sanji yelled in disbelief

'Don't like hospitals' Zoro pulled his face free

'You hit your head, your unbalanced what if you fell of the fucking roof?'

Zoro shrugged.

Sanji got up grabbed Zoro by the back of his shirt and dragged him off the edge of the roof and headed for the stairs

'Fucking asshole if you won't go to the hospital I'm at least calling a doctor'
