Christmas Calendar

Disclaimer: I don't own, nor do I claim to own, any of the One Piece characters or the creation itself

Tenth day. For some reason, I decided this drabble should be about celebrating this date. -shrugs- don't know why.

Umm, we have heavy ZoLu (Yay!) And pretty much from now on, there'll be hints of ZoLu and towards the end, it will just get stronger. So, to all those people who were reading because there was no ZoLu, sorry. ZoLu is my favourite pairing and my obsession right now, so, it had to come in somewhere. I'll still put warnings up, but, yeah. There will definately be hints from now on. Don't forget to check out Shiruji-chan and Clarobell's christmas calendars. At least they're up to date. XD

Happy Reading!

Drinking

It was the tenth of December. So now, it was exactly fifteen days until Christmas. The town, as tradition dictated, was having a big party. A rather wild one too. Seeing the action, Luffy had instantly (of course) wanted to join in. So, dragging Zoro behind him, he ran full tilt for the town. Nami followed and asked Sanji to come with her. The chef agreed and followed as well.

Chopper didn't want to go, Robin was interested in a book and didn't want to put it down and Usopp stayed to keep Chopper company. Actually, he didn't want to be around any drunk people. They tended to be a little violent towards him for some reason. Luffy ran into the party, where a band was playing some music on a pedestal in the middle of a brightly decorated town square.

Multicoloured lanterns were strung everywhere, a bar was open in the night air, and people were milling around everywhere. Two men had taken an interest in a young woman, but the woman didn't want anything to do with them, and so turned around and decked both of them in one hit. Luffy laughed loudly and looked around. This place was awesome! Absolutely incredible!

"Ha, how cool is this Zoro!?" Luffy cried, spinning around on the spot and doing a nifty little two step. Zoro raised an eyebrow, and then made a b-line for the bar. Luffy pouted and then trotted after him.

"Come on Zoro! Come and dance!" Luffy urged, latching onto the swordsman's arm and trying to pull him away. Zoro frowned and continued towards the bar. No way was he going to miss out on an opportunity to get drunk for a reason.

Well, needless to say, Zoro did get drunk. Zoro did get merry… well, sort of. Problem was, Luffy had joined him, and the captain was not only drunk… he was off his rubber face! Dancing around like a strange looking kind of worm… or something. It truly was a strange sight to behold. But, even more embarrassing, was when Luffy wiggled his way over to Zoro and asked him to dance. Zoro blinked back at him.

"I don't dance. That's for ssssissies." and he hiccuped before frowning.

"Awwwwww. Come on Zorooooo! It'll be ffffun." and Luffy also hiccuped before giggling, "Besides, it's Chris'mas." Luffy slurred. Zoro let out a long and loud sigh.

"Fine. But only cos it's maschris. Err… Christmas. Yeah… Christmas." and he chuckled. Luffy grinned widely, and stumbling in his drunken state, fell straight back into a solid chest. He blinked as he looked around, and then spotted who it was.

"Sanji!" he cried and spun around, wrapping his arms around the chef's waist.

"Get offa me ya drunk crap kid!" and Sanji began to try and pry the rubber captain off of him, looking around wildly for Nami, who seemed to have just disappeared.

"Sanji! Zoro's gonna dance wif me!" and Luffy giggled drunkenly. Sanji raised an eyebrow before sighing and finally pulling Luffy off of him.

"That's wonderful." he replied sarcastically, "Have a good time." and he hurried away, looking for Nami and avoiding Zoro who was glaring daggers at him from his barstool. No one touched his captain! Not even him! Wait… that wasn't right. No one touched his captain, except him. No… that didn't sound right either.

"Blah, leave it at no one touches the captain." Zoro slurred out loud, "Whoops, said that out loud." and then he slammed the tankard down (breaking it at the same time and scaring the poor barman half out of his mind) before stumbling towards Luffy who was waiting for him by the edge of the dance floor. Grabbing Luffy around the waist, they moved onto the floor.

Now, you may be thinking, Zoro drinks so much anyway, and usually he can hold his liquor. But, tonight, Zoro hadn't just been casually drinking a bottle every hour or so, like usual, he had been drinking a bottle per five to ten minutes. Mind you, he had been sitting at the bar for about three hours. Now, even for Zoro, that was a lot of rum. A lot of rum. He was pretty close to passing out actually. Dancing, that was where you got within arms width of someone and either pulled a few similar moves, or revolved in a light circle, right? Luffy and Zoro made a new meaning for dance that night. There was no light between them, as they pressed closely together.

Hands going everywhere, (over each other mind you) and joined seemingly permanently at the lips. Standing in a deserted corner of the party area, stood a wide eyed Nami, with her camera clicking faster than lightning, and a loudly laughing chef, who could barely stand upright he was laughing so hard. Oh yes, there was a lot of fun to be had while drinking. Yes indeed. For all parties involved.

Heh, never been drunk myself. Never hope to either. Must be horrible to wake up the next morning with a hangover. -shudders- anyhoo. Reviews please!
