Zoros groaned as he allowed his head to thump against his steering wheel. He had failed. He had fully intended to get an answer to an important question that had been on his mind all week but he had chickened out. He had mustered up the courage to call him and ask but it had ended in risky actions, amazing sex and no actual answer. He felt like Sanji had maybe answered his question with the whole checklist thing but he still needed to get a clear answer.
'Are we going out'
It had only been a few months and he could be completely wrong but he had no precedent to go off and he never really thought properly about relationships and how it all works, which was kind of ridiculous at his 25 years of age.
"Snap out of it!" He admonished himself slapping his cheeks with both hands "You need to get to work"
His client today was the best customer his gym had so he always worked hard to please her. She was a popular socialite, the daughter of a rich business man and previous Prime Minister and she ran several charities. When they had been struggling during the recession she had proceeded to recommend them to all of her friends and she had saved the gym from going under so when she had asked to reschedule to Zoros off day he felt like he couldn't say no. It was a little disappointing that he couldn't get to do more with Sanji the night before but it was too bad.
"Vivi, good morning, how are you today?"
"Exhausted! I've got so many events that I'm planning I feel like my heads going to spin off. But it will all be worth it in the end." Zoro cast an eye up and down her body noting the changes from the past months of neglect from exercise and also noting the brand new designer brand outfit which probably cost as much as his months rent.
"So with all these plans do you even have time for training?"
"Of course, it's high priority actually. The old codgers splash the cash more if I'm looking hot in something skimpy. Kind of degrading but it's all for a good cause." She shrugged "I need to look toned but feminine, can you work that out?"
Zoro laughed "Of course, I can't let you down, can I?"
Vivi collapsed onto the mats, flinging an arm over her face.
"I surrender." She gasped out.
"That's just the warm up we have another hour yet."
"Urgh." She groaned, "just let me recover a minute."
"Come on, at least keep moving, let's get up." Zoro urged and she reluctantly climbed to her feet.
"So, how have you been, anything interesting happen lately." She questioned.
"If you have enough energy to be asking all these questions, then you have enough energy to do the next exercise."
"Oh that sounds like a yes to me" she responded with a sly grin on her face "you normally just respond with something boring, this is the first time you've avoided the question." She saw the blush that crept up his face and squealed slightly in excitement. She absolutely loved gossip.
Zoro took her over to the next piece of equipment and passed her two heavy ropes. "Come on, let's get working."
"So who's the lucky girl, do I know her."
"There's no girl." Zoro responded far too quickly, and much to his chagrin, she picked up on it as well.
"So it's a guy then, even better!" She had been half joking, but Zoro was clearly not a great keeper of secrets so his face flushed darker still. She gasped and dropped the ropes. "Really?!"
"I won't be telling you anything if you don't crack on with this."
She picked them up and continued with renewed vigor.
"So... who is this mystery guy?" She gasped out.
"A womanizing asshole who I've always hated."
"So what caused the change of heart?"
"Turns out he's amazing in bed." Zoro responded bluntly which produced an undignified snort of laughter from Vivi.
"What led to you sleeping together if you hated each other in the first place."
"We were drunk, it was pretty unexpected."
"Hmmmmm" Vivi replied, clearly not believing what he was saying, but she decided not to push it for now. "How long have you been dating then." Glancing over she noticed a deep frown, "oh."
"It's just been over 2 months now but we've only met a few times. I don't really know what we're doing, if I'm honest. He could just be doing it for the sex, he probably doesn't actually like me."
They continued in relative silence after that apart from Zoro's advice and encouragement, as Vivi was too exhausted to continue talking.
As Zoro led her in a cool down routine she studied him and noticed something interesting. As she grabbed her bag to leave and thanked him she leaned and quietly said,
"I'm sure he's interested in you, otherwise he wouldn't be leaving hickeys in such an obvious place that you can't see." She tapped the red mark on the side of his neck and grinned broadly when he blushed again and clapped his hand over it. "See you next time!" She called cheerfully as she almost skipped out of the gym.
Zoro scrabbled for his phone, which was vibrating in his kit bag. He figured it would be Luffy, inviting him out like he often did on a Friday night after work when he wasn't on call and could have a drink.
The buzzing stopped when he finally pulled his phone free and saw the predicted missed call from Luffy and promptly called him back.
"Hi Zoro, we're at Sanji's restaurant if you want to meet us there." Came Nami's voice, which wasn't a surprise as Luffy had the attention span of a goldfish and it was always forgot to check his phone even when he had just called someone. "We just got here so we can order for you if you want. Tell them to keep it in the kitchen so Luffy doesn't steal it if you don't get here on time."
"Cool I've just finished work so I'll get changed and head over shouldn't be more than 30 minutes."
"Okay see you then"
He had enough time to look good if he went up to his dads apartment attached to the gym where he always kept a few outfits for these occasions. He probably wouldn't see much of Sanji but he still wanted to make a good impression if he did. He rushed up and shouted out a hurried greeting before before jumping into the bathroom.
As he was finally ready to leave, he spotted Koshiro standing by the door.
"Hey Dad, I'm just heading out."
He smiled softly "meeting anyone special?"
"Just Luffy and the others."
"Hmm, well have fun. I haven't seen much of you for a while make sure you stop by for dinner next week, I want to talk."
"Yeah, sure, see you soon."
"Ah! It's Zoro!" Luffy practically shouted as he came up to the table and received a smack on the back of the head from Nami.
"Use your indoor voice, you idiot."
"Hi guys." He said taking one for of the empty seat next to Usopp.
"We had a starter sorry, Luffy would have gotten us kicked out otherwise. I told them to get Sanji to choose for you as well, oh! Speak of the Devil."
Zoro turned to see Sanji sauntering out carrying several plates of food.
"Nami-san, your beauty eases my aching heart!" He gushed as he laid her meal before her. "And Kana-Chan you make it soar, you should leave this buffoon and be with me." She giggled as he swooped around her placing her meal in front of her.
"Why thank you Sanji, I'll be sure to keep that in mind if he's ever acting up." Jabbing her fiancé lightly with her elbow.
A second waiter came with the remainder of their food and Sanji sat to join then.
"The old man is letting me early off work as long as I lock up tonight, so I'm gonna join you." He announced taking the final free seat next to Zoro. "Well bonne appétit!"
About half way through their meal Sanji began to gently run his foot along Zoro's calf making him jump slightly and and drop his knife with a loud clang. Luckily, Luffy was being boisterous enough that nobody noticed and so Sanji continued. Zoro tried to ignore it and continue with his meal but it was distracting to say the least.
As he finished his last bite he scooted a little closer to the table and ensured the table cloth was draped over his lap to hide the beginnings of an erection that had sprung up. Sanji's response to this was to take it to the next level entirely. He moved his chair a little nearer to Zoro's and placed a hand on his crotch before squeezing tightly. He watched Zoro's back arch and he coughed lightly to hide the hitch in his breathing. Sanji undid Zoro jeans with miraculous speed and dexterity and slipped his hand inside Zoro's boxers, stroking him slowly as to not make the movement obvious.
Zoro squirmed a little in his seat but he shifted closer to Sanji, making it a little easier. He had clearly tuned out of the conversation and Sanji joined in to make sure it was steered away from him as there was not a chance Zoro wouldn't give them away judging by the glazed look in his eyes.
This hadn't saved him completely though as Usopp had noticed how quiet he was being.
"Are you okay there Zoro, you look a bit out of it."
Zoro blinked a few times and built himself up to respond, hoping that Sanji might stop for a few moments, but his hopes were futile.
"Yeah," he finally blurted out "I think I'm just a little tired after work" he managed a small smile and Usopp seemed to be placated as he went into a long tirade about himself and how hard he worked which would keep him busy for a while at least.
Sanji glanced behind him to the only table that could see what he was doing and met eyes with the woman facing them. She had clearly noticed and was watching intently and Sanji felt his stomach flutter and his cock twitch in nervous excitement. He grinned at her, not worried about the others noticing as it wasn't uncommon for him to flirt with any female in the vicinity, and continued his stroking. Zoro throbbed in his hand and he guessed he was getting close. To prevent any mess, he moved his hand to the base of Zoro's member and gripped tightly. Zoro shook as the orgasm washed over him but only a small dribble of semen leaked out and Sanji tucked him back into his clothes doing up his jeans as best as he could before excusing himself to the toilet.
Zoro tried to smooth out his breathing the best he could. Usopp was still regaling him with stories of his bravery in jungles he had never been to, which for the first time ever he was incredibly grateful for.
When he had finally recovered enough to stand he excused himself from the table and followed Sanji to the bathroom. As he stood, he turned and noticed a woman grinning from ear to ear, staring intensely at him and not pulling her gaze away as he met her eyes.
He met Sanji just as he was leaving the bathroom and he whispered in his ear, "stay behind when everyone's leaving and we can have some fun whilst I lock up."
The next few hours passed slowly. He felt oddly disconnected from their conversations as he anxiously waited for what was to come later with Sanji.
The restaurant had now emptied and the tables had been cleared so it was time for them to head out. Zoro sent the two couples on their way, saying he was walking back to the gym and he needed to use the washroom first. The restaurant itself was dark as he exited the toilets but he saw a glow coming from the kitchen so he made his way over to find Sanji.
Sanji turned to him as he entered, wielding a large, freshly cleaned knife with a smirk on his lips.
"Strip." He ordered. Zoro shivered with anticipation and slowly began to undo his shirt, maintaining eye contact with Sanji throughout. As he removed it Sanji came closer and ran his fingers through Zoro's hair before pulling into an intense kiss.
As Sanji broke away he pulled the knife up between them, gently running the blunt edge against Zoro's torso. As the blade reached his chest he sharply flicked his wrist making the tip scrape against Zoro's skin, making a small, thin cut just above his nipple.
Zoro let out a long shaky breath that he didn't realise he was holding but their eyes didn't break contact. He flinched as he felt a sharp slap of the flat of the blade in the centre of his chest before Sanji moved the blade and pointed the tip straight towards him. Without touching, Sanji hovered the knife all across Zoro's chest and briefly over his neck. Zoro could hear Sanji's heavy breathing mixed with his own harsh breaths, both of them sounding like they had run a marathon, showing just how much they were both enjoying it.
Their hearts were pumping furiously as Sanji finally rested the tip of the knife against Zoro's chest directly above his heart, piercing the top layer of skin. Slowly, he dragged the blade in a snaking motion and as a thin line of blood beaded to the surface, Zoro could see a small 'S' traced on his skin.
Pulling the knife away and placing it in the sink behind him, Sanji leaned in and ran a a tongue along the cut, licking away the blood, the coppery taste of it flooding his senses.
Zoro began to undo his jeans and roughly shoved them down trying to kick off his shoes. As he finally got undressed he turned his attention to Sanji, reaching a hand down his trousers and stroked Sanji's dick. He found that Sanji needed no encouragement, he was rock hard and dripping precum like crazy.
Leaning closer, he nipped at Sanji ear before whispering, "I need you inside me." Sanji didn't hesitate. He grabbed Zoro's leg from and hooked it round his waist before hoisting him up. Zoro threw his arms around Sanji's neck to hold himself up as Sanji positioned himself before thrusting in.
Wrapping Zoro's other leg round his waist, he carried him over to the the edge of the nearest counter, knocking several items off a hook behind Zoro, them falling with a loud clang.
After a passionate kiss Zoro broke away, throwing his hands behind him to support himself and help him move to meet Sanji's thrusts.
Zoro let out a breathy moan as Sanji ran his thumb over the cuts on his chest and he tightened slightly sending Sanji over the edge. Sanji came with a shudder, falling against Zoro's chest as he made his last few pumps and filled Zoro's insides.
When he finally caught his breath, he slowly pulled out, only just noticing that Zoro hadn't finished yet. Without hesitation, Sanji went down on Zoro, making him moan loudly. Sanji had enjoyed pleasuring women with his mouth. Their satisfaction thoroughly excited him and he was particularly happy when he could feel it as their grip tightened in his hair and they cried out and squirmed beneath him so he was pleasantly surprised when Zoro threaded his fingers through his hair and pull him closer. Swallowing hard he heard Zoro moan loudly. He pushed two fingers inside his ass and tried to find his prostate and it was clear when he had. Zoro came violently in his mouth, crying out and but releasing his grip on Sanji's head to put his arm back and support himself as his body shook with the orgasm. Sanji pulled away and a few spurts of cum hit his face, running down his his cheek.
Zoro pushed himself off the counter and licked away the trails of cum from Sanji's cheek before hurriedly retrieving his clothes and rushing back to the toilets.
As Sanji finally locked the door to the restaurant his phone pinged with a text. Pulling it out of his pocket, he balked almost dropping everything as he read the message that flashed up on his screen,
'You know I have access to the CCTV for the restaurant on my phone right?'
