It was 9 am in the morning and already Zoro had a massive headache. This was a condition he liked to call "too much information" and for some reason this was a condition he mostly got when he hung out with Sanji and he just met the blond! Since the beginning he immediately thought that Sanji talked too much. First it was about the wedding now he just met Sanji's family.

They weren't blood related but it was clear that the ero-cook loved them deeply. After that he had almost explained everything happened that Sanji didn't remember, except for the third nipple thing and the fact that the blond tried to kiss him twice.

After Zoro explained Sanji his drunken state the other workers of the Baratie started to show up. There was the annoying ones Patty and Carne, they started to make fun of Sanji when it was clear that the blond man had a hangover but when Sanji glared at them both of the cooks scattered away. Then there was a kid that was probably 10 years old named Sid. He had plain brown hair and blue eyes that reminded him of Sanji. But the minute their eyes met each other's both of them started to fight like a couple of kids. Well… Sid was already a kid so Sanji was the one acting but even so it was just stupid.

The fight seized when Zeff appeared kicked both of them in the guts and pulled Sid from his ear dragging the poor kid to the kitchen. Sid glared at Sanji one last time and Sanji stuck out his tongue annoying the boy once again. But even so it was clear that the blond also loved Sid and probably saw him as a little brother or some sorts.

Then the waiters showed up, it was quite normal until Sanji started to flirt with every female waiter there was. And surprisingly that made Zoro's blood boil. But after every one of them rejected the pervert cook he calmed down a bit.

So what if Sanji was a perverted chef that always flirted with girls? That didn't mean he hated the idea of being with a man right?

At least now Zoro could guess why Sanji dumped his to be wife at the altar.

After the waiters also left starting their daily shift he actually expected more employers for a restaurant this big, that's why when Sanji told him that this was all of them he was pretty surprised. Zeff probably didn't like so many newcomers so that might be the reason why there weren't so much of them.

So in a weird little way they were all just one big family. That always fought and made fun of each other. The thought actually made Zoro smile. It was a heart warming place really. He actually expected a lot of snobs working here. But all of them were quite friendly and kind.

Now, he was alone and sitting in the bar section of the Baratie. Sanji told him to wait until rush hour and after that they could hang out. He had no idea why Sanji wanted to hang out after wards and he had no idea what the hell they were going to do. Besides the blond moron didn't exactly looked like the type that "hang out" with guys. He was more of a "let me take every girl on a date" kind of guy. He really didn't see the curly-brow getting along with any other guys.

Did that mean he was special?

Of course not! Why the hell would he be special? He fought with Sanji like everyone else there was nothing special about that. The cook probably just felt a little guilty because of the whole drunk incident. So the fact that he wanted to hang out later didn't mean shit.

Zoro looked at the clock that was neatly hanged on the wall. He wasn't surprised at all when he realized that the hands of the clock that was shaped as fishes.

It was already 11 am. The time sure had flown since he sat here. Wasn't it just 9 am when he sat down? Still he could drink one last glass of sake there was nothing wrong with that. There were still a couple hours until Sanji could leave; besides he needed alcohol like he needed air.

Also he needed the booze because even if he didn't want to admit it he felt guilty. But not because of holding information from the cook about his drunken state. He was feeling guilty because he was deceiving the cook. Sure Sanji never asked, so he never actually told him the truth but even so it was still eating his insides up making him uncomfortable.

He actually knew who the hell Sanji was from the beginning.

It wasn't something he was proud of and he didn't feel the slightest joy when he figured out who Sanji was. He should've just told Sanji who the hell he was from the beginning; it wasn't right holding information from the blond. Well, he wasn't so sure if Sanji could understand him in his drunken state.

At that moment Zoro decided to take a couple of gulps from his drink. He was going to tell Sanji who he really was, it was the only honorable thing to do and if the curly brow didn't like that well.. Screw him! It was his lost, sure getting hit by Sanji again would hurt like a bitch but he was just sick of feeling so…so…icky inside.

Then with a loud "BAM" coming from the entrance of the Baratie snapped him away from his thoughts. What kind of maniac would enter a restaurant this classy by almost smashing the doors to pieces? He turned around curious of who the rude customer was.

…Crap.

The last person the Zoro wanted to see was standing right in the middle of the Baratie looking furious than ever. Her eyes were glazing across the crowded restaurant and Zoro had a good idea of what the woman was searching for. He silently cursed at himself for sitting at such a visible place. The only thing that he hoped was that the woman wouldn't notice him and just go away, then he could have his drink in peace.

But of course that wasn't going to happen.

The woman's eyes locked on him and widened surprised to see the green haired man here but that didn't last long as she slyly smiled and started to walk towards him. With each step she took Zoro flinched. All of his instincts were telling him to run away and he immediately knew that this wasn't going to end well.

"Zoro," she purred. "What are you doing here?"

He raised his eyebrow trying to look oblivious to the woman. Then he raised his glass and shook it in front of her face.

"I'm drinking as you can see," he replies as he brought the glass to his lips taking another soothing sip.

"Are you sure that's all you're doing?" she asks with a devilish smirk on her face.

Zoro knew there was no getting out of this one. He crossed his arms in front of him with a defensive manner.

"You tell me." He says almost challengingly.

The woman smiled at him again as she flipped her orange hair. He gritted his teeth at this movement. Whenever that devil woman planned something she did that stupid hair flip. It was like her signature move or something. Besides why the hell was she here? Wasn't she just dumped by Sanji? What did she want? That devil woman was one of his friends and that was the secret that Zoro had intended to avoid from telling Sanji. The fact that the woman he was going to merry was one of his friends and that's how he knew exactly who Sanji was.

He was actually invited to the wedding but since he got lost he couldn't make it in time. Then he found the "All Blue" and decided to have a drink and just give up trying to find the damn building. After he met Sanji he was pretty glad that he got lost, it wouldn't have been fun at all trying to calm Nami down from her rage.

"I think," Nami purrs again. "You're here to avenge me aren't you?"

What the fuck?

Was that damn woman drunk or something? She couldn't possibly think that the only reason why Zoro came here was just because to avenge her? Why the hell would he do something like that? He actually thought that Sanji had done good running away from the witch. Besides he couldn't even make it to the wedding so how could Nami even think that Zoro knew what had happened.

"You didn't make it to the wedding. I actually figured you couldn't you can't even walk a straight line," Nami laughs at her own joke making Zoro's eyebrow twitch with annoyance. "But you couldn't possibly not hear what happened and since you're my friend you came here to beat up Sanji-kun!" she says full of enthusiasm then she adds. "Besides why else would you be here? You're not exactly the "fancy restaurant" type."

Now, Zoro usually praised himself on being collected and calm. He never got drunk and he always thought things threw. Even in the most messed up situations he would make the rational and logical choice. He wasn't one of the smartest people but he wasn't the dumbest either. But this time was different, because of this…this sly, conning devil woman and the fact that she might figure out he's one of Sanji's friends now –at least he hoped so- he freaked out. Zoro slowly started to nod and mumbled.

"Y-Yeah, that's why I'm here."

Nami smiles like she just won the lottery and Zoro's aware that this was one of the most stupidest mistake he has ever done. What the hell was he going to do!? He couldn't just walk up to Sanji and beat the crap out of him. Besides if he does something like that it was likely Sanji would kick him in the guts sending him flying like before. He nervously scratches his head as he listens to Nami's joyful answer.

"Awesome!" she says while she smirks. Then she playfully puts her hand elegantly on Zoro's muscular shoulder. Zoro represses a groan. "I'm quite touched Zoro. I never realized that you cared about me that much. I was actually here to talk some sense in to Sanji-kun but since you're here I'll just leave it to you."

Each word she spoke was like poison for Zoro and he knew when Nami said "talking some sense" she actually meant "pummeling Sanji to the ground" and now she was just happy that she found someone else to do her dirty work. He actually wanted to tell Nami it would be much less of a scene if she just beat up Sanji. He knew that the idiot blond wouldn't do anything to her. He already felt like crap for ditching the wedding and it looked like Sanji wasn't the type to beat up a woman.

But Zoro wasn't a woman and he was sure that if he tried something like that the cook would beat the living crap out of him.

Well, actually Zoro wasn't that weak both of them would probably be equal in strength. He would never admit that tough; Sanji was already full of himself anyway. He didn't need the blond to be even more annoying than he was.

He looked in to Nami's catlike, evil, expected eyes and he was hoping that he could just talk his way out of this mess. But that didn't seem possible. He had to do at least something or Nami would probably rip him apart. Right now Zoro needed a plan, a plan that would free himself and Sanji from Nami's clutches. Besides he didn't want Sanji to find out he and Nami were friends, at least not like this it would just be too awkward.

Why do you care what the cook thinks? His inner voice spoke to him. You could just beat him up or at least punch him and get out of this mess.

He didn't know the answer to that question. Maybe he just felt guiltyor maybe he knew that the bastard already felt like shit. Or…or

Maybe you llllike him.

His inner voice spoke to him again almost mockingly. He took a few gulps of his drink hoping he could just drown his inner voice with booze. He couldn't possibly like the blond. That was the worst thing he could do! Besides that idiot was supposed to be Nami's husband. He couldn't just go and says that he likes him. If there wasn't this wedding incident he might've thought about it.

But even so the blond was annoying, full of himself, had a ridiculous curly eyebrow and had a fringe that covered his entire eye. Who would want someone like that? It was just stupid.

He has a nice body, knows how to cook, his hair is like that sun, his blue eyes are like the ocean, you can always spar with him.

"Shut up!" Zoro growls as he takes big gulps from his drink.

Nami blinked a couple of times with surprise.

"What?" she says with a puzzled look.

"U-um nothing," he replies and then stands up, startling the confused orange haired girl.

He starts to walk towards the kitchen hoping maybe he could make a run for it. Nami would never know. But he was confused and annoyed when he heat following footsteps. He angrily turns around and glares at the devil woman.

"Why the hell are you following me?!" he snaps.

Zoro already knows the answer when Nami slowly grins.

"I want to watch." She replies the green haired man.

"Sadistic bitch," Zoro mutters and fortunately Nami doesn't hear him.

Zoro speeds up wanting to put a distance between him and the devil. He already figured out how he was going to lure Sanji out of the kitchen. But he needs to be fast or Nami would find out and kill both of them. He was pretty sure that Nami had a couple of victims, the woman was just terrifying and Zoro didn't want to end up as an unnamed body.

He quickly opens up the door to the kitchen and lucky for him he's face to face with the bold. The cook's eyes widen as he was holding a plate, Zoro raises his eyebrow at this.

"I thought you weren't the waiter?"

At that question Sanji's eyes immediately turns to hearts and he starts to wiggle like a noodle or something. It's a miracle how he didn't drop the damn plate.

"A pretty blond ask- Hey what the fuck are you doing!?" Sanji's mood changes quickly as Zoro grabs the plate ad starts to make a run for it.

He smirks as he hears angry footsteps running after him the plan was actually working. He should thank the blond girl who ordered this too bad she wasn't going to be able to eat it. Zoro starts to run around the kitchen eagerly looking for the exit. There needs to be an exit. The whole freaking plan was tied to that damn exit. What was he going to do? Go through the front door?

"Hey asshole! Get back here!"

Zoro can hear that the cook is catching up to him. If he doesn't find that damn exit he wouldn't only get kicked he would be found out by Nami too. He then sees Sid with a big trash bag walking pass him. He takes the trash bag from the boy making Sid stumble a bit but Zoro couldn't care less at the moment.

"I'll take the trash where's the exit?" when the boy gives him a puzzled and a slightly terrified look he asks again. "Where the hell is the damn EXİT!"

Sid shrieks a bit and points to the left. A relief washes over Zoro when he sees the big EXİT sign. He makes a run towards it a trash bag in one hand and a fancy dinner in the other. He kicks the door open, he takes a deep breaths of the nice clear air and starts to relax. He walks towards the trash can and throws the trash away and starts to watch the door getting ready to see the angry cook.

Not a moment too soon Sanji appears and he looks even more furious then Zoro could imagine. He smirks playfully at the blond.

"It took you long enough," he just wanted to ease the tension a bit but it didn't looked like that was going to be possible.

"I'm going to kill you!" Sanji yells as he walks towards the green haired smirking idiot as he raises his leg obviously ready to kick the hell out of Zoro.

Zoro should've been terrified at the scene but he's just too happy that his plan worked. It was a miracle. But his happiness didn't last long as the blond trips on a rock that Zoro had no idea how he got there and with slow motion the cook started to fall down.

Zoro immediately reaches out his hand hoping that Sanji could hold on but he had forgot that he was also holding a gourmet dinner in his other hand and he could almost hear Sanji saying "If you drop that dinner I'll never forgive you bastard." He isn't sure how Sanhi thought of saying something like that when he was falling but he obeys and while he was trying to balance the dinner on both of his hands he feels two elegant hands groping him.

Sanji was groping him.

Groping.

While Zoro was trying to get over the sensation of Sanji's hands on his but he felt another overwhelming feeling on his crotch. The cook had just crashed into Zoro's crotch. His crotch.

Oh shit he could feel Sanji's breath on his crotch.

His crotch.

Oh fuck.

Zoro didn't even glance at the blond. He was afraid if he did he might just lose it. The blood rushed to his cheeks making it a deep red and he was pretty sure blood was rushing to other parts too. This was not good. No good. Shit.

Sanji's hands loosen on Zoro's butt and he slowly stands up clearly embarrassed. He doesn't look at Zoro, all he does is to mumble a few apologies to the moss head.

Zoro's not surprised at all at the cooks reaction. He's pretty much in the same state. It's not like everyday his butt is groped by a gorgeous blond. Did he just call Sanji gorgeous? He shakes his head trying to get rid of the embarrassing thoughts out of his head. Then he realizes the meal he was still holding and extends his arms.

"Here," he says offering the food to Sanji.

The blond looks at him bluntly and puts a cigarette in his mouth.

"You can eat it. It's probably too cold to serve anyway."

Zoro just shrugs and looks at the amazing looking food. It looks like he can just use his hand with this dish. He slowly starts to eat the delicious food. It looks like Sanji's anger had drifted away he looks more embarrassed then angry at the moment.

"So," Sanji starts lighting his cigarette. "Are you going to explain what the hell just happened?"

"I think you just molested me." He replies bluntly. Like he didn't understand the idiot cooks question at all. Sanji blushes and snaps at him.

"I did not molest you!" when he saw Zoro smirking he quickly adds. "It was an accident!"

Zoro shrugs and talks with his mouth full. "Think as you wish, I just hope you don't use the same stunts with the girls."

Sanji blushes even more if possible. "I would never you bastard!" when he sees Zoro smirking again hoping he could change the conversation he asks again. "I wanted to ask why the hell you stole my food and ran away."

"Oh that," he replies. Zoro didn't actually think what he was going to say to Sanji and he did need an explanation. He puts the plate on the ground trying to gain some extra time. When he thought of a good excuse he looks up at the blond that cheeks were still slightly red and smiles. "You introduced me with your family now I want you to meet mine."

Sanji looks surprised and he hopes that's a good sign and they needed to get out of here now before the devil woman found them. The cook opens and closes his mouth a couple of times clearly out of words. Zoro's smile turns in to a grin and he pulls on Sanji's arm forcing the confused blond to follow him.

"I just thought that snatching your food and making you run after me gave you a good excuse to get out of work earlier." He says finally hoping he answered Sanji's unasked questions.
