So... I kind of forgot about this story, but that's okay! I wouldn't have been able to upload anything anyway. My computer's internet got stupid and it stopped allowing me to connect to the wi-fi or an actual plug in kind of adapter... so I've been without wi-fi on my laptop that I use for writing for nearly two years. It's kind of sad really. I managed to fix it, so I'm picking back up on my stories. None got to be published, even my fictions. So I just posted all of the other chapters to them as well as this one here. Please don't be mad at me! I'm also working now, so my chapters won't be out as fast since my boss likes to schedule me for the strangest hours ever. I swear...
At least I came back, right? And with an extra special chapter to boot! I made sure to make this very detailed so that you all would enjoy it! Although most of this chapter is only smut! XD
~!~
Sanji's nervousness about the promise he made at lunch ate away at his sanity all through the rest of the day. He couldn't seem to focus during class. His mind kept getting occupied by a certain moss ball and what was going to happen later that evening. The blonde couldn't help but continuously glance at the clock to check the time every minute or two. Zoro had noticed his behavior not long after their after-lunch classes had begun and it brought a knowing smirk to his face. Shit cook was nervous. That he knew for sure.
The clock ticked away at a lot slower of a pace than Zoro wanted and way too fast for Sanji. When the bell rang for the end of the day, Sanji wanted to stuff his burning face into his knees and never come out again. His blush deepened as more of the students filed out and Zoro walked up to stand beside his chair. Zoro couldn't get home in a timely fashion on his own normally, let alone now that they have their own apartment. He had to wait for the blonde in order to get back to the apartment without ending up at Chopper's or his old home.
"Come on Shit Cook. I don't have all day..." Zoro muttered as he lost his patience.
Sanji had dropped his head on the desk, so his reply was muffled, "Give me some time..."
"You'll have all the time you need once we get back to the apartment. I don't want to wait in this damn classroom until you decide to fucking move your ass from the seat." Zoro huffed irritably.
"I know..." Sanji hissed before slowly standing up.
They walked in silence the whole way back to the apartment. Zoro seemed unfazed by the new development in their relationship while Sanji fidgeted nervously. He kept blushing uncontrollably and avoided almost all eye contact with the swordsman as possible. While Sanji was having an internal battle with his sanity and nervousness, Zoro kept going through all the steps to a successful and pleasurable time. This would be his first time and he wasn't going to mess it up. Especially since it was with Sanji of all people.
It didn't take them very long to reach their apartment and trudge up the stairs until they reached their floor. They still didn't say a word as Sanji pulled his keys out and let them in. Zoro mildly contemplated jumping the cook the moment the door was open but he soon decided against it. He didn't want the blonde becoming even more nervous and going back on their promise. Plus, Zoro didn't exactly know how to deal with a nervous Sanji and he sure as hell didn't want to find out how. With the way the blonde kept glancing back at him, it would take them all night just to start, let alone actually do it. Once they got inside, Zoro had the great idea of trying to calm the blonde down so that they could actually get on with it.
"Calm down already... you're making me nervous." Zoro grumbled in the most calming voice he could muster, which wasn't much.
"I am calm!" Sanji snapped before turning to face the swordsman and adding, "It's just... my first... time..."
"Mine too Shit Cook." Zoro revealed slowly.
"Really?" Sanji asked in surprise. "I thought that someone like you must have at least done it with more than a dozen people by now."
"Talk about yourself... with the way you fucking fawn over girls, there has to be no way that you haven't screwed at least one of them." Zoro snickered.
"Aw. Were you worried that you weren't going to be my first?" Sanji teased.
Zoro went stiff and snapped, "No."
"You were!" Sanji pointed out, "With the fucking way you just acted, you totally were!"
"Sh-shut up!" Zoro blushed with the embarrassment of being caught.
"Are you blushing marimo?" Sanji titillated.
"I'm not!" Zoro growled before smirking victoriously, "but I saw how much you were blushing just thinking about what we are going to be doing tonight!"
"I-I wasn't!" Sanji's cheeks reddened until they matched the same hue as Zoro's.
"You fucking were! You're doing it right now!" Zoro chuckled.
"F-fuck you!" Sanji hissed.
"I know you'd like to." Zoro shot back slyly.
"Fucking Marimo!" Sanji snarled as he kicked out at the swordsman.
Zoro expertly dodged the strike. He had gotten pretty used to Sanji's kicks after being kicked over a hundred times. A thought crossed Zoro's mind and he smirked widely as Sanji tried to kick him again. Dodging, Zoro grabbed the Cook's leg and pushed it upward. Sanji awkwardly hopped backwards until his back hit the wall with a few curses under his breath. The swordsman pushed until the blonde's leg was completely vertical and he could lean in to speak in Sanji's ears.
"You're blushing right now." Zoro snickered.
"Sh-shut the hell up Marimo." Sanji grumbled as his blush darkened.
"Hmm... nope." Zoro chirped before lightly trailing kisses along the blonde's neck.
"Mhmm... Z-Zoro..." Sanji groaned, going slightly limp.
Zoro carefully let the blonde's leg down before he ended up hurting him. He also didn't want the Cook to kick out at him for being needy or forceful, so he wanted to make sure that Sanji would conveniently forget how to use his legs. The blonde gripped his school shirt in a death grip as he lightly nipped along his neck. A soft groan slipped past the Cook's lips as he hiked his legs up and wrapped them around the swordsman's waist. Not at all what the swordsman had planned, but better for the rest of his plans to succeed.
Zoro let out a gruff chuckle at the blonde's reaction and slipped his hands down Sanji's sides until they rested on his waist. He nipped at the blonde's collar bone for a moment before giving it a hard suck. Sanji threw his head back and moaned lightly as the swordsman assaulted his neck and shoulder. His breathing came out ragged as Zoro slid his hands under the blonde so that he could give his rear a harsh squeeze as well as keep him a bit more stable for his next plan.
Sanji groaned and leaned into Zoro a bit more. With the swordsman keeping him balanced, Sanji was able to brace himself on Zoro's shoulders as he keened at the man's every touch. He let out another moan as the swordsman squeezed his rear again before moving away from the wall and shuffling toward the bedroom, never once halting any of his ministrations.
The swordsman slowly moved through the house, letting his feet take him where he wanted to go without really thinking about it. If he pondered too much on where they were going, he knew they would end up lost and he didn't think he had enough patience for that right now. Their slow shuffle through the house didn't take as long as either of them expected. Zoro reached the bedroom door fairly quickly, which prompted the Cook to speak up.
"I'm surprised you didn't get lost." Sanji chuckled between two loud groans.
"You better hope I don't get lost trying to do something else." Zoro muttered with a low growl.
Sanji burst out into loud laughter. He was punished by Zoro biting roughly and giving a rough squeeze at the same time. The Cook moaned loudly as he was pushed down onto the bed. Zoro crawled over him like a predator stalking it's prey. Something about the way that the swordsman moved made chills run down Sanji's spine as well as the blood start rushing south.
The Cook wiggled a bit under Zoro before the swordsman crawled between his legs and started to slowly drag the blonde's shirt up over his head. He made sure to nibble a path starting at the blonde's navel up to the mark that he had made earlier with special attention as he slipped the blonde's shirt off. Tossing the article of clothing off to the side, Zoro trailed butterfly kisses down the Cook's chest until he found a perky nipple. His teeth latched onto the small bud as he began to nibble and suck.
Zoro's actions caused a violent reaction from the blonde. Sanji's eyes blew wide as he moaned loudly while arching his back off of the bed and right up against the swordsman's chest. The swordsman growled in response as he made sure to assault Sanji's nipple some more. It wasn't until he felt something poking his lower stomach that he realized just how much of an effect he had on the Cook. His face turned red, but he ignored it in favor of continuing.
Dragging his nails down the blonde's sides, Zoro made his way further and further down until his fingertips rested against the blonde's pants and his mouth was leaving soft kisses along his navel. Sanji thrashed and moaned as Zoro made sure to find every sensitive spot that the blonde had. As his tongue dipped into the blonde's navel, making Sanji jerk as a small giggle left his lips.
Zoro used that chance to slowly drag the Cook's pants down without him noticing. He was too busy laughing at how Zoro's tongue tickled his belly to even remotely notice that fact that his pants were being slipped off and tossed onto the floor. The swordsman then took a moment to tear his own shirt off before going back to trailing kisses up the blonde's body. It was at that moment that Sanji realized that it was a little colder than usual.
The blonde erupted into a dark blush. He bit his lip to try and keep his mind off of what was happening. Sanji was excited for what he knew was about to come, but his excitement didn't stave off the nervousness of his first time. Questions were buzzing through his mind like bees. Would it hurt? Is he going to enjoy it? How would he feel in the morning? Those were the questions that he didn't know the outcome to and he was nervous because he didn't know.
"Just relax shit cook. It's not like you're going to die." Zoro grumbled low in his chest, snapping Sanji's attention back to him.
"I'm not a shitty cook! And I know that. I'm just... worried." Sanji mumbled as he shifted uncomfortably beneath the swordsman.
"What is there to be worried about? It hurting? I don't plan on hurting you Sanji." Zoro blushed slightly. "I plan to make this the best fucking night of your life."
"That's so damn cheesy!" Sanji chuckled.
"Shut up." Zoro growled, latching onto the blonde's pulse with his lips.
Zoro gave the blonde's neck a few suckles before nibbling. Sanji's laughs turned into loud groans as his face turned several shades of red. He seemed a bit unsure, but soon relaxed. His legs slowly made their way up the swordsman's thighs before he slipped his toes under the hem of Zoro's pants and started to shimmy them down.
The swordsman's eyes went wide with surprise before turning dark with desire. He let out a low growl as he pushed his lips against Sanji's roughly. Sanji made a surprised noise before melting into the passionate kiss with the same amount of fervor that Zoro started with. They let the kiss get a bit sloppy as they bit and sucked whatever they could get to. Zoro's pants had quickly made themselves scarce once they were pushed down to his knees, ending up somewhere across the room.
Sanji blushed a deep red once the swordsman's pants were completely off. His briefs were tented considerably, allowing Sanji full view of the size that he was going to have to take in. Zoro struggled to keep himself under control as he gently squeezed one of Sanji's nipples and nipped at his neck again. He dipped his hips, grinding his clothed member against Sanji's. The blonde moaned deeply, arching off the bed once more at the spark of pleasure that rippled through his body like a pulse bomb.
Moaning again, Sanji allowed the swordsman to continue grinding down on him. The moment that Zoro even remotely paused, Sanji was lifting his hips off the bed and grinding back into him. They both panted heavily as Zoro mentally prepared himself for the next few steps. If Sanji was this vocal with just grinding, who knows how loud he'll be once the swordsman has him writhing beneath his body. Shaking his head to clear his thoughts, Zoro lifted his fingers up to the blonde's mouth.
"Suck." Zoro commanded softly. "I want your best popsicle sucking impersonation that you've got."
"Popsicle... I'll give you a whole four course meal impersonation." Sanji chuckled, cheeks dusted red.
The blonde quickly popped Zoro's digits into his mouth. He used his tongue to give Zoro's fingers the most generous lather as he could possibly muster. Zoro groaned at the feeling of the cook tracing the entirety of his fingers without moving his head at all. This entire process was being done by just the blonde's tongue and it was turning the swordsman on more and more. A quiet grunt passed through Zoro's lips as he ground his hips down on Sanji's, causing the blonde to moan around his fingers.
Saliva dripped down the blonde's chin from the corner of his mouth as he moaned. He couldn't stop the sound from leaving his lips every time Zoro would grind on him. Tilting his head back, Sanji nibbled slightly on the swordsman's digits before sucking them and lathering them up a bit more. Zoro quickly retracted his fingers, making the cook whine at the loss.
"Fuck." Zoro hissed. "I want you to take that hot mouth of yours and put it to good use elsewhere."
Sanji's face turned scarlet at the swordsman's words before he stuttered out, "U-u-uhh... S-sure."
"Good." Zoro grunted, sitting back on the bed.
Sanji swallowed hard before sitting up and crawling over the swordsman's legs just as he had done earlier to the blonde. His face turned red as he positioned himself between Zoro's legs and slowly took a hold of his briefs. Sliding the fabric down, Sanji came face to face with the swordsman's large member. Turning redder at the sight, Sanji bent down to take it all in but stopped just a breath short. A sharp snort escaped through the blonde's nose, making the swordsman glare down at him.
"What?" Zoro asked roughly.
"N-nothing... it's just... your pubes. They're green too!" Sanji laughed, tickled by the thought.
"You're such an asshole." Zoro growled as he grabbed the blonde's hair and pushed him down closer to his dick. "Just suck the damn thing."
"I couldn't help myself." Sanji breathed out in mirth.
The blonde slowly ran his tongue up Zoro's shaft, making the swordsman jump at the sudden feeling before grunting quietly. Once at the top, Sanji popped the head into his mouth and sucked on it slightly as he savored the taste. His tongue swirled around the tip as Zoro groaned loudly. He could feel the swordsman's fingers tightening their hold on his hair as he sucked harder. Letting out a quiet moan, Sanji opening his jaw a bit and took the entirety of Zoro's length in with one movement.
Zoro leaned back with a moan, gripping the blonde strands in his hand roughly. He couldn't stop himself from thrusting up into the blonde's mouth slightly, making Sanji groan in pleasure. The vibrations sent him almost over the edge of his sanity, allowing a loud groan to push its way through. His breathing became ragged as the blonde worked his magic. Sanji sucked, caressed, and deep-throated him all at the same time. It was a specific movement that Zoro couldn't even fathom figuring out but for Sanji it was as natural as eating.
"Sh-shit... cook." Zoro moaned. "You need... to stop that. Nggnn... or you'll have... a m-mess to c-clean... ha.. off your face..."
"I was just getting started." Sanji said after pulling back with a pop and licking pre-cum off his lips.
"Ffffuuuckk..." Zoro groaned, leaning forward. "You're so damn hot."
The swordsman quickly brought the blonde in for a deep kiss, slipping his tongue into the blonde's mouth. He explored the wet cavern, trying to figure out what made the cook just that good at using his tongue when it was his first time. When he came up empty, he decided to use his ministrations as a distraction. Sanji moaned into Zoro's mouth as the swordsman battled it out with his tongue, completely oblivious to Zoro's wandering fingers finding the top of his briefs.
Zoro pushed Sanji back onto the bed in one swift movement, stripping him at the same time. Sanji let out a surprised squeak at the sudden rush of air before being distracted by Zoro's fingers finding purchase on his rear, giving it a hefty squeeze. The blonde flushed at the feeling of Zoro's rough hands on his bare ass. He moaned into the swordsman's mouth the moment Zoro brought them flush against one another.
He could feel every inch of Zoro's body press against him, making the swordsman's feverish grinding so much more enjoyable. Letting out a loud moan, Sanji broke the kiss and arched back, pushing up into the swordsman. Zoro took this opportunity to slip his first finger into the blonde. Sanji jolted at the unfamiliar feeling, but soon forgot about it as he was swept up in the feeling of Zoro grinding against him roughly.
Once the blonde seemed distracted, Zoro pushed the second finger into him. He could hear the cook take a sharp breath and wince. The moment Sanji looked like he was about ready to open his mouth about stopping, Zoro gripped his member with his free hand. Sanji's eyes blew wide as Zoro slid down his chest and took the tip of his member into his mouth. His body jerked and he let out a heated moan at the feeling of the swordsman sliding his tongue along the blonde's slit, completely forgetting about that second finger.
Zoro stretched his fingers, scissoring them in and out while the blonde was completely distracted. He managed to slip the third finger in without him ever noticing. Sanji cried out his name when he brushed against something in the blonde. Another light swipe across that spot had Sanji releasing into his mouth and clenching around his fingers. The swordsman quickly swallowed everything the blonde had to offer with a grunt, not knowing what else to do with it.
"Oh my god! I am so sorry..." Sanji started apologizing quickly once he came back off his high, realizing that he had cum without warning.
The swordsman rolled his eyes and ignored him as he focused on bringing life back into the blonde's weeping member. He needed it to be perky if he wanted to be able to get his release the way he wanted it. Moving his fingers slowly, Zoro started to search for that special spot again. Sanji continued to apologize without even taking a proper breath.
"I really didn't mean to... I am so sorry! There wasn't any warn-nnngg." Sanji threw his head back with a grunt. "Ffffucck. Zoro..."
Zoro smirked around the blonde's head as he found that sweet spot again. Sanji's weeping member sprang back up with renewed vigor, making the swordsman's smirk widen. He passed across it once more before pulling his fingers back a bit and stretching the blonde as much as he could. His ministrations reduced the blonde to a spluttering moaning mess beneath him. Once he deemed the blonde ready, he pulled off Sanji's member with a wet pop.
"Alright cook. Are you ready?" Zoro asked, smirking with a dark glint in his eyes.
"Fuck... no." Sanji huffed. "H-how am I... nggnnn... supposed to be ready? Ha.. fffuuuckkk. Zoro just... Fuck me already."
"Are you sure? You seemed awfully against the idea just a second ago?" Zoro teased, sliding his fingers a bit deeper to hit that spot as the blonde went to answer.
"FFFUUUCKKK YES. I'M FUCKING READY!" Sanji cried out, grinding his hips down onto Zoro's fingers. "Just fucking fuck me already Marimo!"
The swordsman couldn't stop the chuckle that escaped his lips as he pulled his fingers from the blonde's hole. Sanji whimpered quietly at the loss, but moaned as soon as Zoro got himself situated between the blonde's legs. He aligned himself with Sanji's hole, but paused before pushing in. Zoro figured the blonde needed a few warnings beforehand, so he rested his throbbing member right at Sanji's entrance before leaning down to speak softly to the blonde.
"Just a heads up, this might sting a bit at first. I won't move until you tell me it's okay to so that I don't hurt you more than it already might. I'll go slow until you get used to it." Zoro explained softly, using a comforting tone as to not scare the blonde.
"Oh just shut the fuck up. I'll fucking do it myself." Sanji growled out, wrapping his strong legs around the swordsman's waist in one fell swoop.
Before Zoro could say or do anything, the blonde pushed himself down onto the swordsman, using his legs as leverage. Both males let out loud moans as Zoro situated himself down into Sanji. The blonde pushed him the whole way into the hilt without stopping. Sanji cursed quietly under his breath, but couldn't stop himself from moaning out the swordsman's name. He wiggled his hips a little, letting Zoro know that he was already ready and rearing to go.
Zoro chuckled softly at the blonde's antics in bed. He couldn't move very well with the blonde's thighs death gripping him, so he grabbed beneath the blonde's knees and squeezed a bit while pushing upward. Sanji quickly got the hint and released his hold, bending until Zoro nearly had his feet pressed to his shoulders. The swordsman twitched inside him at the display of flexibility as he slowly started to move. His pace started off slowly until Sanji made a disgruntled sound at him for taking forever.
Once the blonde seemed dissatisfied with starting off slowly, Zoro gradually picked up the pace. He couldn't help but grunt out the blonde's name occasionally as he searched for that sweet spot. Sanji shifted his hips beneath him constantly, helping all the while in finding that blinding white pleasure. His pace picked up until he was relentlessly slamming into the blonde's ass. Getting frustrated with not finding what he was looking for, Zoro pushed the blonde's knees down and angled their bodies just right.
Sanji screamed the swordsman's name, his voice echoing off the walls, the moment that Zoro found what he was searching for. He continued to pound into that spot, pulling loud curses and rude names from the blond. His entire existence was cursed out as he pleasured the blonde writhing beneath him. Zoro couldn't help but thrust harder when his libido spiked from how needy and wanting Sanji looked wiggling and writhing beneath him. The throes of pleasure helped fuel their desires as Sanji started to thrust back up against the swordsman, driving him deeper and deeper each time.
They kept this excruciating pace for a few more moments before Zoro started to feel the tight coil in his gut begin forming. He grunted the blonde's name as he gripped his leaking member, pumping it in time with their thrusts. A quiet command to cum with him escaped from his lips before he pulled the blonde into a passionate kiss. Sanji spluttered out his name in a loud moan as his seed shot between their embracing bodies, leaving them a sticky mess. Zoro came deep inside the blonde, filling him up to the brim with his seed as the blonde's tight walls clenched around his throbbing member, milking him completely dry.
Zoro grunted the cook's name the moment he released. They both saw white for a moment before coming back down off of their high. Sanji moaned softly at the feeling of Zoro's seed filling him up and leaking out. The swordsman slowly pulled his limp member from the cook as he collapsed onto the bed beside him. They had made a mess out of the sheets and themselves, but Zoro didn't plan on cleaning it up right now. He was spent and wanted a nap, so he was going to get it with his favorite chef.
"I love you." Sanji whispered quietly to the swordsman, breaking the silence of their afterglow.
"Love you too shit cook." Zoro gave the blonde a chaste kiss before pulling into a tight embrace.
They both relished in the feeling of being so close without anything separating them as they slowly drifted off to sleep. This would be the first night that they would get the best sleep they've ever had without waking in the middle of the night.
~!~
Sanji awoke to the blaring of his alarm clock, a sound so foreign that he had forgotten he even owned an alarm clock. His arm jutted out of the sheets, smacking the nightstand, as he searched for the clock's snooze button. Once the sound was silence, Sanji slid his arm back under the sheets and cuddled up to the warmth against his back. An arm slipped around his waist as warm breath ghosted across the back of his neck. Sighing with content, Sanji fell back to sleep.
The alarm went off ten minutes later, jolting the blonde out of bed. He sat up quickly, groaning at the jolt of dull pain that shot through his body. Growling about the time, Sanji staggered out of bed and over to the bathroom to get a shower before he would have to make breakfast. Zoro grumbled in his sleep and rolled over the bed, taking up the warm space that Sanji had just left.
It took the blonde only a half an hour to get showered, dressed, and ready for the day. They had to go back to school today, so Sanji trudged into the kitchen and began preparing their lunches as well as breakfast. He fell into a steady rhythm once he got started. The pain in his backside dimmed down to an almost unidentifiable ache that was easily forgotten about until he thought about it. His face lit up at the thought of everything that they had done in the past twelve hours.
~!~
Zoro groaned at the stiffness in his back as the alarm blared in his ears. He slammed his hand over the off button before sitting up. Sanji was missing, which was usual for this time of the morning, and his side of the bed was icy cold. The swordsman briefly pondered how well the blonde was walking around, but shook it off in favor of getting a quick shower before breakfast.
The swordsman took his time under the hot steamy water. It helped relax his sore muscles and clear his head of his sleepiness. After taking his time in the shower, Zoro quickly got dressed for school and started to make his way into the dining room. He could smell the delectable smell of breakfast drifting through the house the moment he left the bathroom. Zoro followed the smell the entire way into the kitchen where his face burned at the sight in front of him.
Sanji was carefully flipping an omelet into rolls for their lunches, his attention completely on the food in front of him. A light dusting of pink was spread across his face as he worked. His posture wasn't as straight as the swordsman was used to seeing it, but the slight lean in his stance spoke of soreness after a great night. He swayed his hips as he worked, humming all the while.
Zoro crept up behind the cook without a sound. He stalked through the kitchen like a predator hunting it's prey. Once he was behind the blonde, he waited for Sanji to finish rolling the omelet and start on the next one before wrapping his arms around the cook's waist. Sanji jolted slightly at the sudden contact, but let out a light chuckle.
"Good morning sleepy head." Sanji mused, glancing over his shoulder at the swordsman before focusing back on the food. "You seemed like you slept well. Did you get a shower already?"
"Yeah... It helped to wake me up. You're up early, as always. What are you making?" Zoro yawned, dropping his chin onto Sanji's shoulder as he swayed with the blonde's hips.
"Rolled omelets for in our lunch. It's just a part of the side dish. Breakfast is eggs and bacon because I'm too damn sore to make anything else and I didn't make our lunches yesterday evening before bed." Sanji replied as he leaned against the swordsman.
"Sounds delicious." Zoro muttered. "For your cooking at least."
"Excuse you shitty Marimo? I was trying to be civil for once." Sanji huffed irritably, pushing the swordsman's leg slightly with his foot.
"I am civil." Zoro chuckled. "You smell good."
"Not right now." Sanji hissed before lightening up. "Thanks though. You don't smell as mossy as usual."
"I hear moss is the new trendy smell nowadays." Zoro laughed.
"All the ladies fawn over the smell of plants. I can see it already." Sanji joined in, laughing happily. "Now go sit down and eat your food."
"In a second." Zoro sighed, tightening his hold on Sanji's waist for a moment.
The swordsman gave Sanji a chaste kiss before taking his plate and sitting down at the table. He was enjoying having the apartment to themselves after having to live with other people for a while. It was almost like their own little world and Zoro was already getting swept up in the homely pace. They were falling into their husband and housewife roles now that they were alone and it stirred something in Zoro. His heart leaped at the thought of them sharing a home together forever like this, but he wondered briefly if the cook felt the same.
Zoro shook the thoughts from his head as he started into his meal. Sanji made the most delicious meals, even if the swordsman wouldn't admit it, and Zoro sometimes couldn't help but wonder how simple eggs and bacon could taste so fancy. The soft clinking of dishes and pans lulled Zoro into a calm ease like nothing else could as he cleaned his plate of food. Once finished, Zoro walked his plate back into the kitchen and washed it off as Sanji finished their lunches.
"Did you eat yet?" Zoro asked, figuring that the cook probably already did but he didn't want to risk it.
"Yeah. Between my own eggs and bacon, I also had to make sure that our lunches were good enough to eat." Sanji smiled. "We've got ten minutes before we have to leave. You always wake up late."
"Not all the time. I was just tired today." Zoro shrugged. "That and I took extra time in the shower this morning."
"I noticed that too." Sanji chuckled, wrapping his arms around Zoro's neck.
"Don't tease me shit cook." Zoro warned, gripping Sanji's waist.
"I couldn't even if I wanted to. I'm too sore to even try right now." Sanji huffed.
"Sorry about that." Zoro left an apologetic peck on the cook's forehead.
"Don't worry about it. I heard that first times are always rough. I'm just glad I can stand and walk without much trouble." Sanji laughed, his face turning red.
"Maybe next time I won't go so easy on you. You'll just have to wait for the weekend." Zoro hinted huskily, tilting his head so that he could nibble at the blonde's neck.
"You're going to be the death of me." Sanji hissed needily. "We need to get going or we'll be late.
"Alright, alright. Party pooper." Zoro grumbled, releasing his hold on the blonde.
"Who the hell are you calling party pooper? It's not my fault our school doesn't believe in two hour delays." Sanji growled as he grabbed his bag.
Zoro rolled his eyes as he picked up his own bag, swiping his keys off of the counter as he passed them. Sanji had his own set already in his bag, but Zoro thought it would be a good idea in case he got lost and needed in for whatever reason. They scurried to get their shoes on, Sanji grabbing the bentos in the process, before locking the door and heading out. Once they stepped out into the slightly chilly morning, Sanji reached over and gripped the swordsman's hand gently with his free hand. The swordsman returned the gesture, giving the blonde's hand a light squeeze as they set off for school.
~!~
I really do apologize for this coming out YEARS later. I did happen to forget about it. HOWEVER, fret not! I will be picking it back up and working on it some more, even if the chapters don't come out as often. I have a lot on my plate right now and sometimes I'm just not in the mood for writing. I've entered a fanart contest for one of my favorite Webtoons, The Theif's Heir... I've already submitted one, but I love the characters too much, so I'm thinking of working on another and submitting it too. Between that, work, and getting my competitive points up in Overwatch, I'll have about an hour or so before bed to work on any of my stories which includes my originals. I just spent almost all of today doing nothing but reading through the past chapters and writing this one since I wanted it to be special.
There will be days like that in the future that you might find me posting a chapter right after another... but those might be far and few between. I also have to figure out where I was going with this story those two or three years ago, so there's going to be some plot development happening in these next few chapters.
I want to personally thank those that have stayed with this story even though I went on a VERY long VERY unannounced hiatus. Thank you all for rereading and continuing to follow my story. For those that are just now reading, thanks for taking interest and not giving up on me! Thank you all.
Love you guys. Hope you enjoy the new updates in the near future!
