Lunch Time Feelings

~X~

Sanji and Zoro were friends since middle school. They met in the 6th grade and now were seniors in High school. In the tenth grade, Zoro came out and told each of his friends he was gay. At first Sanji was weary of the idea, but when the other teen needed him he was there, and supportive.

Now the beginning of their senior year, Sanji found himself attractive to his greenhead friend, and was confused. Really he started to feel these strong feelings during the summer, when Zoro came to him for some comfort.

Ever since Zoro came out, things haven't been too easy. Not a lot of people approve of gays in their neighborhood. He was often made fun of, and a few times jumped. However Zoro proved to be strong, and could kick their ass, even so it still hurt his feelings.

Sanji felt protective of Zoro now, and wanted to let Zoro know that. He also wanted to be closer to him in a more intimate way. He was still confused about it all, but he thought it through over the summer, and knew it was a good time to be open with his feelings.

Now that it was lunch time, and the two were sitting alone on top of the roof, Sanji thought now was a good time.

He felt nervous, blushing even and having trouble meeting Zoro in the eyes. He coughed slightly and rubbed at the back of his head. "Um Zoro?" he said in a week voice.

Zoro, who was enjoying the bento Sanji made him blinked, putting it aside when Sanji spoke. "Huh?" he said, and took a long drink of his ice tea.

"I…, Zoro, I have something I want to tell you. I think it might be a bit important. I mean…." He sighed, feeling very frustrated.

Zoro blinked, setting his drink aside now giving Sanji his whole attention. "What is it?" he said, concern resting in his eyes.

Sanji took in a deep breath to calm his nerves. At times like this he wished he had a smoke, but being on school grounds that wasn't an option. He figured he had to do without it for now. He turned around and faced Zoro. "I uh, Zoro I want to go out with you."

Zoro's eyes winded a friction at Sanji's words and felt his cheeks heat up. In the last three and half years he always hoped Sanji would return his feelings. "What?"

"I have feelings for you, Zoro. I know it's odd, since I've always been attractive to woman before, but you, you know, different. I care about you more than anyone else, and I am uh I'm attractive to you," he said, his own cheeks turning pink.

"Sanji," Zoro said, and the greenhead smiled. "You are really asking me out?"

The blond nodded.

Zoro's heart pounded. "Yeah, okay."

"Really?" Sanji said, returning the smile.

Zoro nodded.

Sanji's heart beamed with joy and the blond gently grabbed Zoro into a hug. He sighed with relief and felt so much better. With him being with Zoro he knew he could help and protect his friend, and make him happy. It's what he wanted and what will make him happy too.

End?
