Heyy people, Reggie's back. Had a lovely vacation in England, btw. Sorry if this chapter is late, I had to unpack stuff and visit some family members, etc. Important notice: I won't be able to write a lot, school's almost starting and I have to get good grades otherwise my parents will kill me. So I'll try to make it once a week.
This is the first time I made a 2nd pov, so I don't know if it worked out or not. Just try to be patient with me. :P
Grammar and spelling mistakes will be made.
"No, I'm not alright" And looked at him with tear-filled eyes.
"Okay. Just relax and tell me what's going on. Come on, don't cry. I'll help you, I promise." Ace sat down next to him.
Sanji really tried, but for some reason the tears couldn't stop running down his cheeks.
"Why can't things go right for once? Why do I always fuck things up?" Sanji sobbed.
With those coming out, he felt the years of build-up tension loosen and break down.
Sanji broke, his sobs coming out in trembling waves.
He told Ace everything, about the Rabbit, about Zoro, people who had hurt him, what he felt about Ace, his jealousy of him.
When he finished talking he was out of breath and fresh tears were dripping down. He gave Ace an uncertain look. The freckled man had been quiet while he'd been talking. Ace was now looking at his hands, Sanji couldn't make out what he was thinking. Was he angry for the things he said?
Sanji trembling worsened, Ace still hadn't said a word and he finished talking five minutes ago. Did he ruin his friendship with Ace? Did he go too far? Was he mad for the lying?
Maybe he could better walk home, Ace didn't seem very happy with him. Sanji kneaded his hands nervously. He did go too far, didn't he? He cursed himself for ruining this, too. He reached for the door.
"Sorry, I didn't know." Ace broke the silence.
Sanji took his hand of the door handle and faced Ace.
Ace was looking at him with dark eyes. Anger, sadness (and guilt?) did Sanji see. Why guilt? "It's not your fault, you know. You don't have to apologize." Sanji said, his voice hoarse from the crying.
Ace just shook his head. "I let you get hurt, what kind of friend am I, huh? The worst."
"No, you're not. You're the best friend I ever had." Sanji comforted him. 'Well and the only.' A little voice in his head said. He ignored the voice and continued. "Where would I be without you! Come on Ace! You would never let me down."
Ace sniggered "Shouldn't I be cheering you up? Instead of you cheering me up? You're a far better person than I ever be Sanji. Please never forget that."
Sanji smiled at him, Ace would never let him down and he was sure of that. "I love you man(,no homo :P). Let's go home."
Zoro never thought a lot about what kind of impression he left with people. He was never alone at school and always had lots of people to keep him company. And when he liked a person he'd always get the one of interest. Also people seemed to do him more favours than his other classmates. Overall life was just easy for him.
His way of getting away with everything seemed to have a hundred percent guaranty of success. Well until that blond kid came along.
Sanji was his name, he had completely rejected him after the mention of Ace. He even called him shitty mosshead. Okay, maybe Zoro wasn't the first to approach him about Ace. Zoro knew how much it sucked to be in someone's shadow. But Sanji didn't have to overreacted that way.
The more Zoro thought about it the more he realised that he had fucked up. His first fuck-up would go to a scrawny blond emo kid who can't even hold his liquor. To be honest it was kinda pathetic. But in the end it didn't even matter, Ace was taken by a senior with a weirdass hairstyle. He wasn't even that hot. Well the senior, not Ace. Ace was godlike smoking hot.
Nami's party wasn't much for him. He was tired that he had to work till ten. And he had to stand in the same room with Ace kissing his weirdass senior. But he took great enjoyment watching the emo blonde get pissed out of his mind. He wasn't as quiet as he was sober. Well his fun was stopped when Ace decided to bring him home.
Damn those party poopers. He only stayed another twenty minutes when they were gone. Nami was disappointed, apparently she wanted him to hook up with some brown haired chick. But Zoro shoved her aside and ran to his car to escape her wrath and drove off.
Sanji was sitting on Ace's couch while he was in a heated conversation with someone on the phone. He was on the toilet when it started, and was still figuring out who it could be.
"Well you should!"
"…"
"Then how would you explain it!"
"…"
"If what you're saying is the truth, why won't you come over and apologize?!"
"…"
"Because he still thinks you guys were laughing at him. You've seen the picture, even you would conclude that!"
Oh…
Sanji really didn't want to see them now. Even if Ace was giving his friends some credit, it was really there.
"Okay, see you in a minute." Ace put his phone in his pocket and flopped down on the couch next to Sanji.
"They're going to apologize." Ace looked content.
"They don't have to" Sanji mumbled.
"Of course, they do. I insisted" Ace wasn't going to change his stubborn mind, Sanji knew that so he rested his case.
They sat in silence only to be interrupted by the bell. Sanji felt very nervous when Ace opened the door and let Nami and Robin in.
Sanji looked at them and Nami stiffly began to talk.
"Sanji, I know you're upset. But please listen, on that picture we were laughing, but not at you. I swear on my money we weren't. We would never try to upset you. We didn't mean it that way. I know it sounds really lame right now. And I don't know how to make it up to you. But I really didn't want to hurt you." She sounded genuine upset.
Sanji was confused. "What were you laughing at then?"
Robin took it over. "What Nami-san is trying to say is we were indeed laughing. But it was not with evil intention and certainly not directed to hurt you. We were just laughing that you seemed to have a good time with Usopp. We are just happier when we see our friends having a good time."
Sanji let the words sink in and realised maybe it was just moment were everything was lit in the wrong light. But who would make such a picture. It was like Robin had read his thoughts and said.
"It was a quite unfortunate moment to take a picture, I wonder who would do such a mean thing to Sanji-san?"
"Zoro, of course!" Ace exclaimed angry
Three pair of eyes were now on the freckled man. Who seemed fuming "He is the one who has the most reason to hurt Sanji!"
Something clicked in Sanji's head and looked at the picture and saw the hook it was taken from. It was where Zoro had been standing while chatting with Ace. Also the Rabbit knew when Zoro was coming to him. The only logical explanation,
Zoro was the Rabbit.
