"I don't know. I think she's the one." Franky murmured, a smile slipping onto his face.
"Whaddaya mean?" Zoro asked, looking up.
"I mean, she's the one." Franky repeated, rolling his eyes. "Robin. She's perfect, brother, I'm telling ya."
"Isn't it, uh, a little soon for that?" Zoro questioned.
"Yeah." Franky agreed. "But I know. I just know."
"I don't know what to say." Zoro admitted. "Congratulations? Are you gonna ask or are you just letting me know…?"
"Oh, I can't ask yet." Franky scoffed. "I gotta save up. I can't ask without a ring."
"You're serious." Zoro realized.
"Yeah." Franky nodded, unable to keep the idiotically happy expression off his face.
"Marriage, huh? That's…" Zoro sighed heavily. "A lot of responsibility."
"Ah, come on… Don't you think about it at all?" Franky pressed excitedly. "Homemade bentos, eating breakfast together, weekend grocery shopping, shared bathroom counters…"
"She's a professional. You'd be the one making bentos." Zoro pointed out with a snicker.
"And that's fine. I respect her career. I would happily be a househusband if she'd have me…" Franky explained. "I mean, don't you want to leave your mark on the world? 'Here Lies Franky, Beloved Husband and Excellent Lover'…"
"Now I know you're dreaming." Zoro groaned.
"It's just, I think about where I want to be in ten years, twenty years and I know I want her there." Franky confessed.
"Do you think she's the type to settle down?" Zoro asked, making a face.
"Shut up." Franky grunted. "You barely know a thing about her."
"I didn't mean anything, really," Zoro said apologetically.
"I'm gonna start saving." Franky murmured. "And I'm gonna buy her the biggest fucking rock in the store."
Zoro sighed, "Guess you should've started saving years ago then."
"Tease me. Go ahead." Franky replied. "It doesn't matter. I feel too good."
"What if she doesn't feel the same way about you?" Zoro questioned.
"Don't even say it…" Franky whined. "Don't jinx me!"
"I wish you luck. I'm not jinxing you, I promise." Zoro said, raising his hands peaceably. "If it's what you want, go for it."
"I really, really think it's what I want." Franky breathed out. "It reminds me though, when we first starting hanging out with Luffy, and he said he wanted to settle down…" Franky snickered. "I just realized he was calling you his wifey…"
"Shut up." Zoro groaned. "It's impossible every way you look at it."
"I think he'd be a good husband." Franky claimed, smiling playfully. "He's immature but he'd keep things fun. And he's damn loyal, if nothing else…"
"Like I said," Zoro groaned. "That's impossible."
"Hello, Zoro," Usopp said, nodding as Zoro opened the door. "Is Luffy here?"
"Yeah, come in," Zoro replied, kicking open the door.
"Luffy!" Usopp called out, walking into the apartment purposefully.
"Oh, hey, Usopp…" Luffy said, sitting up on the couch.
"Where have you been?" Usopp demanded, tapping his foot, his hands on his hips.
"Here…?" Luffy drawled unsurely. "Why?"
"Your grandpa has called four times." Usopp barked. "Four! I've had to talk to him four times in one day! You owe me! Get your ass home and call him."
"Oh, shit. Is that today?" Luffy groaned, jumping to his feet. He ran to the door, running backwards when he passed Zoro. He kissed Zoro quickly before jogging back to the door. "I'll be back in a little while, Senpai."
"Yeah, sure, no problem." Zoro replied.
"Knees to chest, Luf-fy!" Usopp shouted after him.
Usopp stared at Zoro for a long moment before walking back toward the door. "Excuse me."
"You, uh, don't have to run off…" Zoro suggested. "I mean, he'll probably be back soon…"
"Oh, well, I don't mean to impose…" Usopp mumbled, stepping toward the door.
"Oh, it's not. Really. It's no problem. You, uh, you want a beer?" Zoro suggested.
"Yeah, sure. I love beer." Usopp accepted with a gracious smile.
"So, uh, how did you and Luffy become roommates?" Zoro asked, handing Usopp a cold bottle of beer.
"Oh, uh, we were assigned the same room in the freshman dorms." Usopp explained. "And we've stuck together since."
"That's good, uh, that ya get along…" Zoro noted.
"We do." Usopp agreed with a nod. "He's my best friend."
"What was he like, ya know, before we ran into each other again?" Zoro asked quietly.
"Luffy, well… He's pretty laid-back but he still always gets into trouble. He makes friends, and enemies, everywhere he goes. He was the class clown for a while. But then he got quiet, that was around the time he realized you were nowhere to be found…"
Usopp cleared his throat and Zoro looked down. "That's what you wanna know, right?"
"What?" Zoro asked unsurely.
"You wanna know how he lived without you…" Usopp said stiffly. "Well, he was okay. He talked about you so much we kinda thought you were a myth." Usopp laughed. "You turned out to be real though."
"I don't know what you think about me, but I…" Zoro hesitated.
"I'm expecting the worst and hoping for the best." Usopp said simply before taking a big swig of beer.
"Okay…" Zoro murmured, looking down shamefully.
"Nothing personal, man." Usopp said, finishing the beer and tossing the empty bottle into the rubbish bin. "That's just who I am as a person." Usopp walked toward the door. "Thanks for the beer."
"Yeah, sure." Zoro replied, feeling defeated.
"Be kind to him." Usopp said, opening Zoro's front door. "He's important to you."
"What's this?" Zoro asked, looking down at the thick, black folder in his hands.
"What do you think?" his boss asked, raising a brow. "You're still single, right? You're hardworking, humble, ya ain't too hard to look at…" his boss chuckled. "You're getting the right age for the next step."
Zoro opened up the folder unsurely. He looked at the photographs in surprise, barely able to make out the woman's features. He shook his head and dropped the folder into his lap. "Is this an omiai?"
"Yes. Yes." His boss nodded. "Beautiful, isn't she? It's something to think about."
"You, uh, you don't need to…" Zoro breathed out, suddenly unable to find the right words.
"I know you don't have family." His boss murmured. "You're a good worker. It's the least I can do."
"Yeah, sure." Zoro nodded. "This is, uh, what you wanted to see me about?"
"Well, not entirely," his boss admitted, smiling kindly. "Yuuki-chan wanted me to tell you your vacation is about to expire. Use it or lose it."
"Can I just cash it out?" Zoro asked. "The site I'm working right now is already behind schedule. We've been having to work overtime."
"No can do." His boss smiled apologetically. "Take a week off. Look through the folder. Maybe you can arrange a meeting…" his boss continued. "I'd be happy to sit in."
"Thank you." Zoro replied, bowing at the waist. "That's kind of you."
"Take a form." His boss instructed, gesturing to the hanging file on the wall. "Fill it out, turn it in. I'll see ya when ya get back."
"Sure." Zoro said, standing up. He grabbed a personal time request form and opened the door of the office.
"Hey, Zoro," his boss called out. "Don't forget the folder." Zoro stared at the omiai folder. He licked his lips, hesitating. "Come on! A man isn't any good on his own."
"I…" don't want it, Zoro finished silently.
"At least take it home and have a proper look." His boss insisted. "And then you can refuse properly."
Zoro nodded, stepping forward to retrieve the folder. He clutched it against his chest, as if embarrassed by the contents. He bowed his head to his boss and hurriedly left the office.
"Oi! Zoro!" Franky shouted from across the office. He waved with his free hand, bent over to fill up his water bottle at the cooler. "Wha' did 'e want?"
"Nothing much, uh," Zoro muttered, pushing the omiai folder beneath his arm. "I'm getting forced to take vacation."
"Why?" Franky asked, squirting water into his mouth.
"My personal days are about to expire." Zoro replied, walking past Franky.
"Hey, what's that, brother?" Franky asked, pressing his finger along the spine of the omiai folder.
"Mind your own damn business!" Zoro snapped, shoving the folder underneath his shirt.
"That's not suspicious… at all…" Franky groaned. "That doesn't make me like five million times more curious…"
"I don't care. It's still not your business." Zoro argued.
"Oh, God. I… can't… con-trol… myself… too… damn… super… curious…!" Franky groaned miserably before launching an attack. He grabbed Zoro tightly, pinning the slighter man against his chest. He wrestled forcefully, yanking the folder out the top of Zoro's shirt.
"What the hell?!" Zoro shouted, desperately trying to keep his shirt down and the folder contained.
Franky won the battle and he inspected the folder with wide eyes. "Holy shit… this is…"
"It's nothing." Zoro growled, his fist rapidly striking Franky's stomach. He grabbed the folder from Franky and started walking.
"That fucking hurt, brother…" Franky whined, chasing after Zoro. "You didn't have to punch me."
"There will never be a reason for you to touch me, Franky." Zoro whispered angrily.
"You're so weird." Franky complained, losing patience.
"I don't care." Zoro responded.
"What the hell are you doing with an omiai?" Franky asked, walking beside Zoro through the narrow hall.
"Boss gave it to me." Zoro answered.
"Just now?"
"Yeah."
"Well, uh, did you tell him you didn't want it?" Franky questioned.
"Yeah, well, I mean," Zoro made a noise, his fist banging into the wall. "Kind of."
"Friendly advice, brother," Franky said seriously. "You better hide that shit, because if Luffy sees it…"
"I don't have to hide anything." Zoro challenged.
"You were trying to hide it from me. Don't act stupid. You know you don't want Luffy to know someone gave you that…" Franky argued.
"It's not that big of a deal." Zoro insisted.
"Hey, you're the one making it a big deal." Franky accused. "Why were you hiding it? Just walk back in his office and refuse it."
"He won't let me. I haven't looked at it yet." Zoro explained.
"Give it to me." Franky demanded, his voice growing even louder. "I'll fucking take it back in there and refuse it for you."
"What? You can't…!"
"I'll go in there and I'll explain that Zoro isn't single and doesn't need an omiai." Franky continued. "That's all he needs to know. He can refuse it properly and you're off the hook."
Franky reached for the folder but Zoro clutched it more closely to his chest. Franky narrowed his eyes in confusion, holding out his hand for the folder. Zoro shook his head slowly, "I can't. I haven't looked at it yet."
"What are you talking about, brother?" Franky groaned. "It doesn't matter, does it?"
"I'm no good with people." Zoro admitted. "I don't know if I'll get another chance."
"Another chance at what?" Franky asked, trying his best to follow Zoro's train of thought.
"I have no interest in finding a wife." Zoro said, chewing on his bottom lip.
"I figured as much, brother…" Franky replied, shaking his head.
"But that doesn't mean I have no interest in taking a wife." Zoro confessed.
The words were heavy between them. Franky's mouth opened slightly, his eyes narrowed. He stood completely still, his chest heaving gently with every breath. He shoved his hands in his pockets and licked his lips. "Huh?"
"I don't want an omiai. I don't want to have to get to know a complete stranger, but…" Zoro explained. "If I turn it down now, will I get another chance? In ten years it won't matter, but what about 30, 40 years down the road? What if this is the only way?"
"I am so fucking confused." Franky muttered, crossing his arms over his chest. "What the hell are you saying?"
"I don't know." Zoro breathed out, closing his eyes. "I'm not sure. What if, when I'm old, I want someone to take care of me? What if I want something to show that I lived? That I was here?"
"You're a damn princess." Franky snapped. "Do you hear yourself? How spoiled are you?"
"What? The hell? What are you talkin' about?" Zoro demanded.
"You're really pissing me off!" Franky boomed. "You've got some damn nerve!"
"This doesn't even affect you! Fuck off!" Zoro barked.
"Of course it affects me!" Franky snarled. "I hang out with him every fucking weekend!"
"Who?" Zoro shouted. "What are you talking about?"
"Luffy! You fucking bastard!" Franky responded, the vein popping up in his forehead. "Don't even pretend like you didn't know…"
"Can you be quiet?!" Zoro panicked, looking around the office. They had garnered quite a crowd of onlookers.
"Oh, am I too loud?" Franky bellowed. "You certainly don't want anybody here to accidentally overhear something, do ya?!"
"Shut up." Zoro warned.
"Don't worry, brother." Franky drawled condescendingly. "Your secret is safe with me!"
"Franky…" Zoro pleaded, his eyes wide.
"You have to tell him." Franky demanded, nodding toward the folder.
"Or you will, is that it? Are you threatening me?" Zoro questioned bitterly.
"No. I won't say a damn word about it." Franky explained, his jaw set hard and stern. "That would only make it easier on you."
"Look, I never said I was considering it…" Zoro insisted, trying to regain his composure.
"Whatever." Franky brushed him off, walking past him and down the hall. "Don't talk to me."
"So, Luffy, what are you doing next week?" Zoro asked, between bites.
"Nothin' much…" Luffy replied, dishing himself a second helping.
"I'm taking off work." Zoro explained, his eyes on his plate. "I have to use my vacation hours."
"Oh, well, that's cool, Senpai." Luffy said. "You're probably just gonna sit around and drink all day, huh?"
"That was the plan." Zoro admitted with a nod. "But I don't know, I started thinking, it might be kinda nice to go somewhere…"
"Like where?" Luffy asked, dropping his chopsticks. He leaned forward in interest, slurring his words together like a pirate, "Arrrre you talkin' of adventurrre there, Zor-o?"
"Luffy," Zoro began seriously. "Would you like to go on a trip with me? Just a couple of days. I know you have class, I understand if you can't go…"
"Are you kidding?!" Luffy chuckled. "I'd love to go! Fuck school!"
"I was thinking Hakone, but if you have a better idea…" Zoro suggested, chewing thoughtfully.
"Hakone works. Hakone is good. What do you want to do in Hakone? Cable cars? Hot springs?" Luffy chattered excitedly. "I'm up for anything."
"I was looking up Ryokans in the area," Zoro explained. "They look real nice."
"Is it real expensive, Senpai?" Luffy asked, his face falling slightly. "I'm not sure what my balance looks like right now…" Luffy's face brightened as a thought came to him. "But I did manage to get some new stuff to review. I might be able to get some cash flow in if I hurry."
"Oh, don't, uh, worry about it." Zoro murmured. "I'll cover you."
"When are we leaving?" Luffy pressed.
"I don't know. I thought I'd see if you were interested first." Zoro reasoned. "No sense in going alone."
"Let's do it now." Luffy breathed out, shoveling the rest of his food into his mouth. "I can be packed in 15 minutes."
"We can't go now now!" Zoro insisted. "It's late and we haven't made any plans…"
"Come on, Zoro." Luffy said simply. "Does it really matter?"
"Nah. I guess it doesn't." Zoro agreed with a smile. "You're right. We can figure it out later."
"Hell yes." Luffy cheered. "I'll be right back, Senpai."
"Yeah, sure." Zoro acknowledged, busying himself with clearing the table.
Zoro packed two clean shirts, several pairs of underwear and socks and an extra pair of pants, just in case. He threw in his deodorant and toothbrush, squeezing his nearly empty tube of toothpaste to see if it was worth taking or if he should just buy it along the way. He grabbed some hidden cash from his bookshelf and tucked it neatly into his wallet.
His attention settled on his kitchen cupboard. Inside, behind the flour, was the omiai book. His stomach churned uncomfortably and he decided to push it from his mind. It would be here when he got back and he would have to take care of it then.
Not long after, Luffy returned with his backpack slung over his shoulder. He pulled his baseball cap down over his face and smiled. "I'm ready. Let's go."
"Hold on." Zoro interjected. "Did you tell Usopp you were leaving?"
"He isn't home." Luffy replied with a shrug.
"Well, call him." Zoro instructed. "All we need is for him to send out a search party."
"I left a note." Luffy explained. "It's covered."
"Alright then…" Zoro murmured, feeling antsy. "I suppose I'm ready to go."
"Ya know, Zoro," Luffy said, reaching out for Zoro's hand. He held Zoro's hand in his, squeezing gently before kissing his course fingers. "We could stay holed up in your bedroom for a week and I'd still have fun."
"Behave, Luffy." Zoro murmured, unable to keep the humored smile off his face.
It was the wee hours of the early morning when they finally settled into their room. It wasn't a fancy place, but it was clean and the front desk staff was polite. Luffy plopped down on the first bed, his legs dangling off the end. He folded his arms beneath his head and sighed.
"You tired?" Zoro asked, pulling his shirt off and over his head. Zoro's cheeks grew warm as Luffy's eyes roamed over him.
"Yeah, not so much anymore…" Luffy drawled, rolling onto his side.
"Are you going to sleep in that bed?" Zoro asked, unzipping his jeans and pushing his pants down his thighs and to the floor.
"The beds are kinda small, Senpai." Luffy breathed out, his groin tightening. "I don't think we'll both fit."
"I think…" Zoro murmured, sitting on the foot of his bed. "It'll be okay."
Luffy rolled off the bed and to his feet. He stood in front of Zoro, standing between Zoro's muscular legs. Zoro, naked except for his underwear, licked his lips nervously, his hand resting on Luffy's stomach. He lifted the hem of Luffy's shirt, peeling the fabric from his slender frame.
Zoro pressed his lips against Luffy's stomach, sighing as Luffy wrapped his arms around his neck. Luffy flattened a kiss into Zoro's hair, closing his eyes as Zoro's breath fanned across his exposed skin. Zoro's thumbs hooked through his belt loops and Luffy thought he might die.
"Can you spend the night tonight, Luffy?" Zoro asked, his voice raspy.
"Uh huh." Luffy replied.
"Good." Zoro murmured, his hands sinking beneath the waistband of Luffy's pants. His fingers kneaded against Luffy's ass and Zoro's legs spread subconsciously even further apart. "Can you take off your pants too?"
"Oh, well sure, but," Luffy groaned, his skin burning pleasantly where Zoro touched it. "I'm kinda…"
"Take 'em off." Zoro instructed, placing a kiss on Luffy's chest.
Luffy unbuttoned his jeans and they dropped straight down from his hips to the floor. He stepped out of them, kicking them across the floor. Luffy stood with his hands behind his back, his slender but defined body completely naked.
"You aren't…" Zoro realized, his cheeks reddening. "Wearing… any… underwear…"
"I was trying to tell you…" Luffy snickered. "I didn't put any on this morning. It's laundry day."
"Yeah, well, now you're buck naked!" Zoro blurted.
"No worries, Zoro." Luffy breathed out. "When it really matters, I'm a perfect gentleman."
"I don't think 'gentleman' really describes you." Zoro murmured, inhaling sharply as Luffy started climbing on top of him and onto the bed. "Heeey, uh, Luf-fy…"
"Yes, Zoro?" Luffy replied, his large eyes blinking innocently.
"I wanna do it." Zoro admitted, his eyes looking everywhere but at Luffy's face.
"Really?" Luffy asked, his entire body nearly sparkling with excitement.
Yeah, maybe, sure," Zoro replied, his hand wrapping tightly around Luffy's arm.
"Zoro loves me…" Luffy murmured, pressing his lips to Zoro's thick neck. He kissed and sucked the flesh, his hand lovingly stroking Zoro's chest. "Zoro loves me a lot."
"Luffy…" Zoro groaned, his lip held tightly between his teeth. Luffy stood, walking back to his own bed. He rummaged through his backpack, pulling out the lubricant and, strangely, video head cleaner he had eagerly packed. He ran back to Zoro, leaping on the bed and shaking the frame.
"I love Zoro." Luffy confessed, lifting Zoro's legs and resting them on top of his thighs. He tucked the bottle of lubricant and video head cleaner into Zoro's underwear and he turned his attention to Zoro's chest.
Luffy licked gently, teasingly, sucking on Zoro's hard, pert nipples. Zoro squeezed his legs together tightly, nearly crushing Luffy. Luffy simply laughed against Zoro's skin, his hands tickling up and down Zoro's sides. Zoro wriggled, his face flushed, his lips spewing unintelligible words.
"Hey, wait, uh, just a second…" Zoro pleaded, his cock straining against his stained underwear.
"What's up?" Luffy asked, his tongue held just above Zoro's anticipating flesh. He lapped slowly, smiling as he did so.
"Who's doing who?" Zoro asked, a little belatedly. He pushed up on his elbows, his stomach curving attractively.
Luffy made a face. "I'm doing you, Zoro. Is that okay?"
Luffy expected playful resistance. He expected an argument, Zoro would assume his pride was on the line after all. But Zoro simply nodded, his eyes closing slowly. "Yeah. Okay."
"Awwww…." Luffy breathed out seductively. "Zoro really does love me."
"Yeah…" Zoro murmured in agreement. He gripped the pillows above his head, it was unbelievable how good Luffy's hands felt on his skin.
"Pardon the intrusion." Luffy announced, sliding Zoro's underwear off and tossing them into the chair in the corner. He dropped the lube and video head cleaner between Zoro's thighs for safe keeping.
Luffy started slow, almost painfully so. He kissed Zoro until neither one of them could breathe, their lips swollen from overuse. Luffy moved to Zoro's ears, neck, and then, underarms. Zoro was unbelievably embarrassed and Luffy almost hated moving on. He left kiss marks across Zoro's taut stomach, marking his territory with delight.
"Luffy…." Zoro groaned, biting down on his fist.
"Yeah, Zoro?" Luffy asked, his words muffled by Zoro's hipbone in his mouth. Luffy licked mercilessly, Zoro squirming uncontrollably beneath him.
"Damn it, Luffy!" Zoro growled, knocking his hand against the top of Luffy's head. "Is this torture or what?!"
"Sor-ry…" Luffy snickered, moving further down Zoro's body. "It's just, I want to worship every inch…" Luffy's eyes met Zoro's and he grinned happily. "You're just so pretty."
"Pretty? What the hell…." Zoro retorted halfheartedly, too weakened by the pleasure to really feel any contempt for Luffy's word choice.
Luffy skipped the more obvious parts and began to kiss and bite down Zoro's legs. Zoro was stoic for a while, but when he could no longer handle it, he was done. Luffy was kicked several times until he finally surrendered. "Owww, Senpai…" Luffy complained, rubbing his head.
"It's your own damn fault," Zoro groaned. "And I'll kick your ass for real if you don't start taking some responsibility…"
"You mean for this?" Luffy asked, squeezing Zoro's cock pointedly.
"Uh huh." Zoro confirmed, nodding his head drunkenly.
"Be patient." Luffy instructed, pecking Zoro on the lips sweetly. "I've been waiting five years for this moment."
Luffy poured a huge glob of lube into his hands. He rubbed them together furiously, heating the lubricant as much as he could manage. He rubbed against Zoro delicately before pushing a finger inside.
Zoro moaned loudly, he and Luffy exchanged a look before he covered his face in embarrassment. Luffy was beyond encouraged. He fingered Zoro deeply, watching his finger slide in and out. Luffy added another finger, holding his own legs tightly together. He was indescribably turned on and the sounds Zoro made, oh God, they did nothing to alleviate the throbbing need in his groin.
"Luffy!" Zoro gasped, surprised as Luffy added another finger. Luffy spread his fingers gently, stretching Zoro in preparation.
"Zoro loves me." Luffy drawled, eliciting a lustful noise. He pulled his fingers from Zoro teasingly. "Zoro loves me not." Zoro eyed Luffy in warning. Luffy just smiled and thrust his fingers back inside. "Zoro loves me…"
"Damn it, Luffy. Don't be a dumbass." Zoro groaned, his fingers digging into Luffy's sides hungrily.
"Zoro loves me not." Luffy exhaled. Zoro mewled with pleasure. "Zoro loves me."
"Luffy!" Zoro pleaded.
"I'm patient. I've waited five years, I can wait five more…" Luffy warned. "It depends on how you feel about it."
"This sort of thing." Zoro barked. "It's not like I'd do it with just anyone!"
"You want me to fuck you?" Luffy breathed out, pumping his fingers in and out.
"Yeah." Zoro nodded, his toes curling.
"Because you love me?" Luffy pressed, his fingers brushing against Zoro's sensitive spot.
"Yeah." Zoro admitted, the flush from his cheeks draining all the way down to his groin.
"I love you, Zoro." Luffy whispered, grabbing the bottle of lube. He coated his cock liberally, applying more to Zoro's twitching hole. Luffy leaned forward, kissing Zoro lovingly. "So, so much, Senpai."
"Yeah, me too." Zoro confessed as Luffy pressed against his entrance. He shuddered as Luffy pushed inside, his body tensing. "Holy shit! Fuck. Fuck. Ah."
"Shhhh…" Luffy murmured, kissing Zoro all over. "It's okay. Just relax. It'll hurt more if you're tense…"
"I… How… It…" Zoro closed his eyes, his body quivering. "It hurts."
Luffy reached blindly for the other bottle. He grabbed a pillow, stripping the case off quickly. He opened the video head cleaner and poured a small amount onto the pillow case. He replaced the cap and folded the damp cloth neatly, holding it up to Zoro's face. "Breathe in."
"What the hell is that?" Zoro asked, though he obediently inhaled against the fabric.
"Poppers." Luffy explained. "It'll help you relax."
And maybe Luffy was right, his body might have relaxed, but that wasn't really what Zoro noticed. He noticed the instantaneous feeling of dizzying desire. He wanted to fuck and he wanted Luffy to move right now. Zoro's fingers dug into Luffy's skin, urging his hips forward.
"You okay?" Luffy asked, rocking his hips against Zoro's ass.
"Yeah. I'm good." Zoro murmured, the pain subsiding into a dull ache.
Luffy twisted the pillow case in his hand, bringing it to his own face. He inhaled the drug, his thrusts increasing in pace. He dropped his hands to Zoro's waist and bit down on his lip, doing his best to keep his thrusts gentle.
"Luffy…" Zoro groaned, holding tightly onto his partner. "Fuck."
"Does it… feel good?" Luffy asked, holding himself back from pounding the shit outta Zoro. He thrust measuredly, his groin slapping against Zoro's bottom.
"Yeah." Zoro answered, and truthfully it did. The initial frenzy seemed to be dying down already, and the hint of a massive headache formed, but somehow his body was still on fire.
"Senpai…" Luffy groaned, sinking into the trembling body beneath him.
"It hurts but, ah…" Zoro moaned. "It feels good."
"Good." Luffy murmured, sweat soaking his hair. He lifted Zoro's legs, switching angles. He pumped into Zoro, his cock burying even deeper inside. "I want you to feel good."
Zoro knew Luffy was holding back, but damn it didn't feel like it. Zoro thought his body might break. His entire body tingled and that burn, but oh, it somehow felt good. Zoro couldn't keep up with his own thoughts. He realized, as Luffy's cock twitched inside of him, that he craved this. This feeling, this closeness, his body needed it.
"Luffy…." Zoro moaned loudly before biting down on his fist again.
"I'm about to…" Luffy muttered quietly, arching his back as he prepared to pull out.
"What? Don't do that…" Zoro complained, his legs squeezing around Luffy's.
"Don't do what?" Luffy asked, his face flushed beautifully.
"Don't take it out." Zoro barked, embarrassed to ever say such a thing.
"Okay…" Luffy laughed between pants. "But it might hurt your tummy…"
"It's fine… uh…" Zoro said breathlessly. "Keep going."
Luffy nodded, increasing his speed. He sat up, more on his knees. He reached between them and stroked Zoro's cock. He thrust into Zoro over and over until his own orgasm ripped through him. He ejaculated, shooting deep inside of Zoro.
Zoro was only a moment behind. His lower body shook, his toes curling as he came. He grabbed Luffy tightly, kissing him roughly. Luffy thrust in and out slowly, kissing Zoro tenderly before pulling out.
"Shit." Zoro said simply.
"Hopefully that's not a review, Senpai." Luffy snickered, dropping onto the bed alongside Zoro.
"No." Zoro assured him, shaking his head from side to side.
"How're you feeling?" Luffy asked gently, kissing Zoro's cheek sweetly.
"Yeah, okay." Zoro nodded, resting his hand on his stomach. He sat up suddenly, rolling off the bed and darting to the restroom. Luffy sat up, watching him flee in concern.
"You okay?" Luffy asked, leaning against the closed door.
"Uh huh." Zoro mumbled. "Do me a favor and go watch TV for a few minutes."
Luffy sighed, walking back to the bed. He turned on the television, flipping through the stations. A moment later the shower turned on. Luffy considered his options, and steeling himself for outright rejection, he walked back to the restroom. He knocked quietly before stepping inside.
"Mind if I join you?" Luffy asked, climbing into the shower behind Zoro.
"Hey…" Zoro protested, pressing up against the wall. "Give me a damn minute, will ya?"
"I can't." Luffy breathed out. "I wanna make sure you're okay."
"I'm fine." Zoro insisted.
Luffy remained silent as he began to wash Zoro's chest. He lovingly soaped up every inch, cleaning every nook of Zoro's body. Zoro didn't protest further, he stood quietly, leaning into Luffy's touch. Luffy finished with Zoro's cropped hair, kissing his lips as he ran his hands through Zoro's green locks.
"Feels nice." Zoro murmured between kisses.
"I'm glad." Luffy said, rinsing Zoro.
Luffy turned off the water and grabbed a towel, drying Zoro's hair and then his face, down his neck and chest to his stomach. Luffy kneeled in the shower, drying Zoro's groin and then his ass. He trailed the towel over Zoro's legs, one and then the other.
Luffy stood, finally hooking the towel around Zoro's shoulders and leading him from the shower. He led him to his bed, pulling down the sheets and duvet. Zoro sat on the edge of the bed and Luffy urged him into the center. Luffy climbed into the bed, pulling the blankets up under his arm.
"I love you." Luffy said, rolling Zoro over and onto his chest. Zoro's skin prickled beneath his touch, his breath fanning across Luffy's bare chest.
Zoro closed his eyes, his chest feeling comfortably full. "And I love you."
