Chapter 9

A drop of sweat ran down his head. It was the third time this hour he didn't know the answer to the question mister Le Roux had asked him. He felt stupid because of it. He'd had enough time to study, but all he had been able to think of last week was the stupid blonde cook. So now he didn't know what to answer.

Zoro tried to peek at Nami's notebook, but she had put her arm over it, so that was no use either. He sighed. "I've got no idea."

"OK, try to be better prepared next time, Zoro," Shanks advised him. "Nami, can you tell me the answer?"

"Of course!" she said happily, after which a perfect Japanese sentence rolled from her lips.

The red haired man smiled broadly and praised her for her flawless answer. It annoyed Zoro to no end that she seemed to know everything.

Short after, they had a break. Zoro let his head rest between his hands. He really had to do something about this. If he continued like this the coming few weeks, he would never be able to pass the exams later. And the midterms were already in three weeks! He could ask someone to help him with studying of course, he could ask Sanji… No, that wouldn't work, he would only be more distracted. Besides, he didn't want to show his weakness and that was also the reason he couldn't ask Robin.

"You know," Nami said, as if she could read his mind, "my offer still stands." When Zoro looked confused at her, she continued: "I can help you with studying, if you have problems with it."

Zoro thought about it. The orange haired girl already knew how bad he was doing at the moment, so he couldn't really hide it for her anymore anyway. Besides, she was very good at Japanese, so she could probably help him well. He forced himself to smile at her. "That would be great."

"Good." She smiled back. "Just one thing… If I help you, will you tell me what was bothering you, a while ago? The thing you had seen, but shouldn't have seen?"

Zoro frowned. "Why would you want to know that?"

"Just curious," she answered innocently.

"Well, just forget it. I'm not gonna tell you." Zoro felt embarrassed just thinking about the incident with the teachers again.

"Oh, that's just too bad. You'll probably fail your exams then…" Nami smiled devilish at him.

"What?!" Zoro was perplexed. She wasn't going to help him just because he wouldn't tell her? She was right though, unfortunately. He would fail his exams. "Fine. I'll tell you, but it will stay between the two of us, understand?"

"Sure!" A broad, victorious smile appeared on her lips.

Zoro gestured her to follow him outside the room for a bit. He couldn't tell it while being in the same room as the subject of the conversation.

When they found a quiet place in the hallway, near the men's room, Zoro took a deep breath. "In the first week I was searching for the room my class would be in. However, I accidently opened the wrong door and broke into a private moment of Shanks and professor Beckman," he told her without breathing in between. He just wanted to get it over with. He didn't understand why she wanted to know so badly in the first place.

Nami's eyes widened. "Private moment? What do you mean by that?"

Zoro gritted his teeth. "Beckman was giving him a blowjob," he hissed. "Now shut up about it."

She had a wicked grin on her face, but her eyes seemed wide in shock. "Inside the university?! Without even locking the door?!"

Zoro looked around, but there was still no one near them. He nodded. "But just pretend you know nothing, OK?"

She looked thoughtful and nodded slowly. "Yeah, I have no idea what you're talking about. Did you even say something, just now?"

Zoro smiled approving and they walked back to their places inside the room, Shanks giving them a suspicious look, as if he knew what they had been talking about. But, that couldn't be, maybe the teacher was just afraid they had been talking about him.

Apparently he was, because after class was over, Shanks asked Zoro to stay a little longer. When everyone else had left the room, he closed the door.

"Zoro, I realized I've never apologized for the little incident you had to witness. So… I'm sorry." His teacher was obviously ashamed about it, judging from the blush on his cheeks. "However, I want to ask you not to tell anyone about it… if you haven't done it already." The red haired man looked a little insecure. "Have you?"

Zoro wasn't sure what to say. He didn't want to get Nami in trouble, but he didn't want to lie to his teacher either. "I told someone… just one person. It was not something I see every day and neither something I would want to see again. I had to tell somebody!" Zoro said as an excuse for the fact that he told someone.

Shanks seemed to buy it and sighed. "Yes, again: I'm very sorry. Could you just make sure nobody else will hear of it?"

The green haired man nodded. "It's alright. She already promised not to tell anyone."

His teacher seemed relieved. "Good. Thank you."


Zoro had to walk home alone that day. Robin had 'things to do', whatever that meant she wouldn't tell. Sanji was done around four o'clock, so when Zoro came home around half past one, he had the whole place to himself.

He pushed the couches aside to create some space to work out. After training his muscles for quite a while, he decided to take a shower. When he had refreshed himself, he put on a pair of boxers and sweatpants – he was still warm from the shower, so he didn't need a shirt – and looked at the clock. There was still plenty of time to spend on studying.

He shove the couches back to their original place, sat down with his Kanji-booklet and a notebook and began to write down the Chinese characters he had to learn for that week. It went actually quite well and he had just finished when he heard footsteps coming up the stairs. Heavy footsteps, that could never belong to Robin. Zoro quickly walked towards the door when he heard the key turn in the lock.

As soon as Sanji had stepped inside, Zoro had him pinned against the wall beside the door. The blonde let out a squeak and dropped the bag with groceries he had been holding. This made Zoro chuckle. "Did I scare you, Curly?"

"Stupid Marimo! Like you could scare me!" Sanji relaxed his body. "You just surprised me."

Zoro smiled and kissed the other man on his lips. "I'm glad you're finally home."

The cook smirked. "You missed me?"

Zoro snorted, but didn't answer. Yes, he had missed the blonde, but he wouldn't give him the pleasure of admitting it.

Sanji pushed him aside so that he could pick up the bag. "I hope you didn't ruin the food, Moss-Head." He closed the door with his foot and walked towards the kitchen to put away the groceries. He looked at the books still lying on the couch. "Been studying?"

Zoro shrugged. "Got to be done too."

"Want me to test if you know everything?" The blonde asked while putting the last things away.

"No," the swordsman answered immediately. "I want to do other things with you."

Sanji looked around. "Where's Robin-chan?"

The green haired man rolled his eyes. Why could the stupid cook still only think about girls? "She's out. I don't know where she is, but she would let you know whether she would be home for dinner or not." He walked to the other man, grabbed his arm and dragged him towards the longest of the two couches. "But I said 'I want to do other things with you'."

Sanji smirked. "I heard you."

Before Zoro knew what was happening, he was thrown onto the soft pillows with the cook on top of him.

The blonde chuckled. "But you didn't think I would let you do just anything you want with me, did you?"

Zoro grunted. "I did indeed." He wanted to struggle for dominance, but at the same time it was incredibly hot to think of the things Sanji could do with him, so he let him for the moment. He would get back at the cook later.

Sanji gently bit down on Zoro's lower lip. "Guess you were wrong then," he said before kissing him properly. His tongue slipped inside the other man's mouth, but this time Zoro wouldn't give up so easily. He knew his tongue was stronger than most people's, because of all the fighting with his sword in his mouth. The two tongues wrestled together until Zoro had won dominance inside their mouths.

After a while Sanji broke the kiss, slightly panting. "Your kisses are the best," he said lustful. His voice send pleasurable vibrations right to Zoro's groin.

The green haired man smirked. "Ever kissed anybody else?"

"Of course!" Sanji blushed. "I've kissed a girl once… wasn't nearly as good as this."

"Hmm, good." Zoro was a little disappointed his blonde had been kissed by someone else already, but he was glad it had been a woman and he hadn't liked it that much. He pressed his lips against Sanji's again.

"And you?" Sanji asked a few moments later, starting to kiss the skin right below Zoro's ear.

The green haired man gasped and let out a shivery breath. He didn't want to answer the question. He didn't want Sanji to think he was a virgin. Well, he was a virgin, but… the blonde didn't need to know that. Let alone that he never really kissed anyone. He had sort of kissed with Kuina once as an experiment, short before her death, but it had been a total failure, they both had agreed on that.

Zoro pushed the thought away. He focused on the touch of Sanji's lips on his skin. The blonde was placing little kisses on his neck in a trail downwards until he'd reached his collarbone, on which he bit down softly. Zoro gasped again and felt Sanji smirk against his skin.

"You know, not answering tells a story too."

Zoro grunted. "Shut up. Just go on with what you were doing."

The cook chuckled and placed a kiss on his collarbone again. "You like that, Marimo?"

"You-" Zoro had want to get back at the blonde for the name calling, but waves of pleasure ran through his body when Sanji let his tongue slide over one of his nipples and he bit slightly in it. "Ah- yes!"

Sanji played a few more moments with the nipple and then looked the green haired man in the eye, smirking. "I thought so."

Zoro put his hand behind the blonde's head and slammed their lips back together, a small moan escaping from Sanji's mouth. While both being lost in their passionate kiss, Zoro let his hands wander to the other man's ass. He grabbed his buttocks firmly and pushed their crotches against each other. Zoro's lust increased when he felt the blonde was just as hard as he was. The friction between their erections and the fabric separating them, caused both men to moan in each other's mouth.

"Sanji," Zoro said panting when they broke the kiss. "Why you still got all your clothes on?"

Sanji raised his eyebrow surprised and looked at Zoro's bare chest – the swordsman didn't fail to notice the glint of lust in his eyes as he checked him out. "I can't help it you walk around like a half-naked barbarian," Sanji shot at him, though it didn't sound very convincing.

"Oh, well," Zoro smirked. "I'd better put on a T-shirt, then."

"No!" A slight blush appeared on the cook's cheeks. "I – You can take off my shirt too."

The smirk on Zoro's face broadened. He couldn't have been made more happy. Quickly his hands shot to the buttons of the suit's jacket and he almost ripped it open.

"Oi, careful! Do you have any idea how much this suit cost?!" Sanji pushed Zoro's hands angrily away and undid the last buttons himself. He took the jacket off and neatly draped it over the edge of the couch. He put off his tie and placed it next to it. "You'll get a second chance with my shirt."

Zoro groaned while trying to open the little buttons on the shirt as fast as he could without damaging the piece of cloth. "It's going too slow." He commented and when he was halfway, he let one hand wander inside the shirt and touch the cook's body, too impatient to wait for the whole thing to be open.

Sanji moaned softly as Zoro's hand touched his chest. "I thought you were gonna take it off?" he said teasingly, though he obviously liked the feeling of the swordsman's hand on his skin.

Suddenly Zoro felt a vibration near his crotch, directly followed by the first tones of PSY's 'Gangnam Style'. The cook's face tensed and he turned red as the swordsman started to laugh. "Seriously? You got Gangnam Style as ringtone?"

Sanji scowled at him and reached for his pocket to get his phone.

Zoro stopped laughing and looked at him seriously again. "Don't pick it up."

By that time the blonde had already gotten his phone out of his pocket, and looked from it to the man below him and back in doubt. "But… it's Robin-chan."

Zoro kept looking deep into his eyes, mentally trying to convince him to put the phone away. It didn't seem to work, as Sanji slowly brought it up to his ear, pushing the answer-button just before it reached it.

Zoro tried one last thing to prevent Sanji from picking up the phone by letting his hand rub against the bulge in the cook's trousers, but it was already too late and only resulted in a moaning answering of the phone.

"Aah, R-robin-chwan!" Sanji said. "Why do I have the pleasure of being called by you?"

Zoro sighed. What the hell? One moment they are kissing and touching each other all over, the next moment he's flirting with a woman again?!

"I'm calling you about dinner," he heard said woman say through the phone.

"Great timing, Robin," The green haired man said angrily and just loud enough for their female housemate to hear.

She chuckled. "I'm sorry if I interrupted anything, but I wanted to let you know that I will be home for dinner and ask you if it's alright if I bring someone with me."

"Of course, Robin-chan! I've got enough food to make a great meal for four persons."

"Good, we'll be home around half past six."

"See you then. Good bye, Robin-chwan!" Sanji said smiling.

Zoro shot him an annoyed look. "That could have waited."

"Of course not!" The blonde scowled at him and put his phone back in his pocket. "She's bringing a friend with her for dinner!" He got off the couch, leaving Zoro. "I've got to start preparing it right away. Only the best is good enough for Robin and her friend!"

Zoro grunted and sat up. "Go ahead," he said annoyed. "You've already ruined the mood anyway." And with that, he picked up his study-books from the other couch and retreated to his bedroom, slamming the door just a little harder than necessary.


Robin?! Again?! :P hehehe. I'm sorry! please don't kill me! I promise I won't do it again! The good stuff will happen, eventually. ;)
