Dark Secret
Chapter 9: Date
Zoro's POV
'It has been two weeks since me and Luffy started going out… Its been going real well, Nami and Vivi think its cute. Usopp expected it to happen. Sanji don't mind, since he's dating Ace. We don't show affection in public really…' I sighed, then smiled. 'Today I get to take him out. Then, he's staying the night. It took two weeks before he could stay the night… damn Ace…' I grunted at the last part. I looked at the clock. 'It's about time.' I got up and walked to the door and picked up my key chain and headed out. Taking out my cell phone I texted Luffy real fast.
"On my way." I sent it, opening my car door, to my green truck. It was a nice looking car, but not too fancy. It also has good mileage. As I made my way into the car, my phone went off. I got my body fully in the car, closing the door. I flipped my phone open.
"Ready! :D" 'Him and adding faces in it, should have never showed him how too.' I laughed.
I closed my phone and set it between my legs. I put the keys in the ignition and started the car. I whipped out of the drive-way down to Shanks house. 'I'm glad that Shanks has full custody over Luffy and Ace.' I remembered that day, it was a week ago. 'We went and partied afterwards. I also helped Luffy and Ace move into Shanks' house. That was a good day.' I smiled. 'I also remember when Luffy got his license a couple of days ago, but I still like driving him.' I sighed. 'It has been a good two weeks.' I pulled up into the drive way and honked twice. The door flew open and out came my little monkey. He was hyped up, since yesterday at school.
"ZORO!" He opened the door in the middle of his yell. He jumped into the car, throwing his bag in the back seat. "Hurry! Lets go!" I obeyed and started to back up. My window was open, so I used that to see anything behind me.
"LUFFY!" Ace stormed out of the house. "HOW DARE YOU DO THAT!" He had a towel around his waist.
"Hurry, hurry! Zoro!" He laughed. I laughed also and drove off.
"What did you do?" I asked him as my eyes stayed on the road.
"I flushed the toilet while he was in the shower." He giggled. I laughed as well.
"You know he's going to yell at you when you get home?" He stopped laughing, but still had a smile.
"I'm hoping he forgets! Since I'm not going to be home for a night!" My CD was playing the song, Walking On The Sun By: Smashmouth, one of my favorites. I didn't see him, but I guess he leaned into me. I felt him leaning, he lightly blew on my ear. I quivered.
"Luffy, not when I'm driving!" He snickered. He knew that my ears were my sensitive spot. I also knew his sensitive spot.
I pulled the car up to the movie theatre. Outside the theatre were Usopp, Nami, and Vivi. Sanji was on a date with Ace by now. I parked at the nearest spot. Luffy quickly unbuckled his seatbelt. I took mine off normally. He had already bounced out of the car and made his way around to my side. I got out and meet with a clinged Luffy. He was wrapped around my arm. I put the keys in my pocket, and closed the door.
"Lets go!" Luffy tugged a little, to indicate he wanted me to keep up. He looked up at me, I nodded. He grinned.
We walked up to the rest of the group.
"Hey guys!" Luffy yelled. Everyone waved. "So, what movie are we seeing?"
"You don't know either?" Usopp asked. Luffy shook his head. "I don't either, Nami won't tell me."
"I know! Zoro won't tell me." Luffy pouted.
"Aw, come on guys don't feel bad! I don't know either."
"Vivi! You don't know?!" Usopp and Luffy were astonished. Vivi shook her head. Me and Nami knew that she already knew what movie.
"Come on you guys lets go." Nami was already walking into the theatre.
The both boys agreed and started walk on. Luffy dragged me. People were giving us looks. I am use to it by now. A group of girls saw us, they were from our school. They giggled. 'Now its going to be around school.' I sighed. We walked down the hall to our door number. Door 9. A man collected our tickets. We sat in a group. Me and Luffy sat behind the other three. They suggested it.
"Who wants some snacks?" Usopp stood there like he was about to write down an order.
"I want popcorn! Extra, EXTRA large!" Luffy exaggerated the second extra. "And a chocolate bar! Oh! Oh! A soda too!"
"Are you trying to break me?" Luffy looked confused with the sentence Usopp said.
"But, I'm not even touching you?" I chuckled.
"Never mind… what about you Zoro?" I looked at him.
"Nothing. I'm not really hungry…" I signaled him to come here. Usopp leaned down. I whispered in his ear. "Only get Luffy a small or medium popcorn and a drink." Usopp nodded.
"Got it!" He went down to the next row and asked the girls what they wanted, then left.
"What's the movie?" That's the eleventh time he has asked me that.
"You'll see." And that is the eleventh time I answered that.
"Your no fun!" He pouted. I ruffled his hair. The lights dimmed and started to show previews. A couple minutes later Usopp came back and handed the food out.
"Awwww… I thought I said I wanted a extra, EXTRA large popcorn." He whined.
"Don't look at me! Zoro told me to get you that!" Luffy looked at me. I leaned over to him and spoke in his ear.
"We're eating out after this." His faced brighten up. A grin appeared as well. The movie was starting, when Luffy saw the title, he jumped for joy.
-- -- -- -- After the Movie-- -- -- --
"That was great!!!" Luffy was jumping up and down with joy. I watched with amusement. "Lets go eat! I'm hungry!" He grabbed me and dragged me to the car. I looked back and waved.
"See ya guys!" Everyone waved back, yelling "Bye!" or "See you later!"
Luffy let go of my arm and went around to his side. I went to my side and got in. When I turned the car on the radio automatically turned on.
"I like this song!" Luffy stated. "The songs called 'Inevitable By: Anberlin'." He grinned. "It's sad but good." The song was just ending.
The next song came on. I'd Do Anything By: Simple Plan. It was a good song, not a favorite of mine. I backed out of the parking lot and mad our way to---
"Where are we going?" I could feel his eyes on me. I reached down and grabbed his hand.
"Where you want to go?" He looked astonished. He entwined his fingers with mine.
"Lets go to Waffle House!" He grinned, I only laughed.
"Okay! Okay, lets go there." I turned down a street, making our way to Waffle House.
It wasn't crowded. Only two cars. I parked in the space in front of the building. He did the same procedure as when we were at the theatre. Even running around the car to come and hug my arm. I also did the same thing. We walked inside and found a both, that went all the way around. Instead of, one of those with two sides. A waiter girl came up to us.
"Aw, cute. How can I help you two?" I looked at her than at Luffy. He glared at me. I nodded. He grinned.
"I want three waffles, bacon, hash brown, and a Mr. Pibb!" He grinned at the lady. The lady was shocked.
"I want a waffle and coffee, please." She looked at Luffy then at me, and again.
"Will that be all?" She sounded a little nervous.
"Oh!" I covered Luffy's mouth. He pouted. She giggled.
"Yes that will be all." She bowed and walked away. "Don't make me go broke." He still pouted. I laughed. "Your so cute." He looked at me for a second. I moved my hand down. Luffy grabbed my hand.
"Hey you remember the first time you called me cute?" I looked at him, then remembered the time we took a bath together. I smirked.
"Aw, yes! I remember! It was the time we first didn't know our feelings and took a bath."
"Also, first kiss." I looked at him.
"How could I forget that." I sat there smiling and leaning back in my cushion area. I felt his head against my shoulder.
"Ne, Zoro…" It was silent for a second, so he continued. "Do you drink?" I twitched.
"Where did that come from?" I asked not looking at him. My face did crease though.
"Well, Sanji smokes, and I knew you didn't, so I figured maybe you drink, 'cause when I kissed you it tasted like alcohol." I laughed. He looked confused. The tilt of the head was making it so cute.
"Actually," I leaned near him, my lips near his ear. "I do." I backed away. "But. I'm not old enough too. Still, that don't stop me. Anyways, I only drink when I'm stressed or special occasion." His mouth was shaped like an o. "Have you ever had a sip before?" A blush grew across his face.
"I have, but… it only takes one and I'm drunk. It's not even funny." He scratched the back of his head. I laughed.
"Here's your food!" The waiter came back, smiling.
"Thank you!" Luffy grabbed for the plates.
He first started to devour the waffles. I picked up my plate and cup and brought it closer. I cut the waffle in fours and started to eat it. In between each waffle piece I drank a bit of my coffee. Luffy was already down with one waffle and was working on the second one. He was half down with that one. Half of his hash brown was eaten and all the bacon was there. I finished my last waffle piece and he was on the last waffle, which was almost gone. His drink was half gone. His waffle disappeared into his mouth, then moved his fork to the hash brown and ate that. He picked up one of the three piece's of bacon. I grabbed a piece. He looked at me. Then smiled. I only smiled back. He ate the last piece. I was still eating my piece, when it was sticking out of my mouth and he bit at the other end. We looked at each other, then he started to chow down on it from his end. I started to chow down on my side as well. Our lips meet in the middle. We kissed, but not long. Since we were in public. He giggled. I chuckled.
I picked up the check and went to go pay for it.
"Go out to the car, I'll meet you there." I told Luffy. He nodded.
Luffy's POV
I skipped my way out into the parking lot. I got into the truck and turned on the truck. Since Zoro had gave me the keys. The song Cadence By: Anberlin just came on.
Write down,
To remind myself on how it can be
How it can be…
Heartstrings,
Your tugging on my heartstrings.
My Heartstrings…
Helpless,
I have become so helpless to your touch.
Oh touch me somehow…
Restless,
You leave me restless.
Breathless wait for me…
I sat peacefully as the lyrics drifted through my head. 'The lyrics explain our relationship.' I turned look out the window. 'I write down the past events down in my journal. And he does pull at my heartstrings, making me yearn for him, even more than just a second ago. I become helpless to his touch, he makes me feel comfortable around him.' I smiled. 'He leaves me breathless for every moment we spend together. I am never bored around him, even when napping.' I giggled at the last part.
"What's funny?" I turned to see Zoro was already in the truck and was about to back up. I listened to the song. It had changed to CrushCrushCrush By: Paramore. I looked at him, then smiled.
"Nothing, just thinking!" I grinned and put my seatbelt on. He looked at me strangely, shook his head an finished pulling out. As we made our way home Zoro started the conversation.
"So, you full?" I smiled.
"Not completely! But, I don't want to waste your money!" I blushed. His face was tickled with pink, also.
"Well, that's good!" He was facing the road, but a smile was across his face. I smiled. 'I'm happy that I can make him happy.' My phone rang. Zoro turned down the radio and I answered it.
"Moshimoshi?" I questioned, the unknown number calling me.
"This is Luffy, right?" It was a girls voice.
"Yeah, who--"
"Is it true that you were at the movies with Zoro?" My eyebrows knitted together.
"Yes, why?"
"AW! KAWAII!!! SO CUTE!" I had to pull the phone away from the creaming girl… girls. "You guys are so cute together!"
Beep-Beep-Beep
"Who was it?" I closed my phone.
"A bunch of girls from school, they saw us at the movie theatre and wanted to know if it really was us." I put down in my lap. "Besides that… Are we there yet?" I looked out the window with my usual smile.
"Almost… there!" I looked forward to see his house sitting there. I grinned, a big toothy one too. I quickly unfastened myself from the contraption, that's suppose to keep you safe. I don't like it.
"Hurry, Zoro!" I ran out of the car and towards his front door. I went to the Get off my porch mat. I lifted it and grabbed the spare key and let myself in. I ran to his room and threw my bag on the floor near his dresser. I tackled his bed, face hitting the pillow. 'I like Zoro's bed… its soft, but,' I stood up and started to jump. 'Really bouncy!' I jumped up and down until Zoro came into the room.
"Don't jump…" I butt slammed onto the bed, grinning.
"What you want to do now?" Zoro looked at me, then smirked. "What? Is there something on my face?"
"Yeah, hold on I'll get it!" He caressed my way, I sat there to wait. Hey gently licked my lips. I blushed really bad, that nothing could hide it. He seemed amused. "Like that?" I was still red, I turned my head away. He grabbed my face, gently, with his hand and made me face him. He was inches away. His warm breath was tickling my face. Not even inches away now. He was so close that I wanted to---

Usopp: You know that their going to come after you now?

Usopp: Hes buying some medicine.
