I'm sorry this took forever for me to update, even though it's now in boils down to two chapters. And because I got too much reviews to reply, I'm just gonna put the chapters up and I'll answer any review after that. Sorry it took me for-ev-er to get these up, but I had summer school darn it! And the English class was kinda ruthless, thank you very much! And after all that B.S. I think I failed that class... well... maybe a D... I don't know for sure, but still! It was a pain!

*sigh*

Right! Well, enjoy these chapters then, I'm gonna work on the others.

Good Heart 21: Face of an Angel

A month went by and Zoro was on his motorcycle heading to the hospital. Once there he signed in as a visitor and went to the recovery room and found the room where Luffy is, still in a coma, but the heart monitor showed that the heart inside him now is beating strong and functional.

Luffy had been off the tubes for about three weeks, much to the female doctor's surprise, and was only on a breathing machine now. Though asleep he had surprised everyone including the green haired man when the news went out that the failed heart that threatened to kill one was beating strongly for him.

Zoro on the other hand was more than relieved to know that the other would be okay with his old heart while the heart inside him was beating strong and lively, just like how the other should be now. He had been an outpatient for a few weeks, working in Luffy's place in the center and enjoyed the time he had there with the kids. He brought them in to see Luffy after he was off the tubes and they lively talked to the comatose captain as if he was still there listening, soaking their words in. He had a feeling that they knew what was really going on, but if it helps their pretend captain, they had no problem going on like it was before.

When he's not working he had been brushing on riding his motorcycle, took kendo class, and was able to do things he wasn't able to for so long. At first it didn't feel right to do these things when the other who gave him his heart was in the hospital. But little by little he convinced himself that this is what the other wanted him to do, which was starting to show by the gained muscle and tanner skin, showing his improved health.

He had made it almost a ritual when he comes in the hospital and in the room with his comatose friend and lover. He would come in at the same time every day, spend a few hours just talking about everything and nothing, kiss the other on the forehead, and do it all over again the next day. He wasn't the only one who visited the teen, but he was by far the one who visited the other the most.

Another couple months went by and there hardly seem to be any change in the comatose man's condition, but that was okay with Zoro, as long as the heart is still beating inside the man in a good rate, the other would wake up soon and they would be able to move on from there.

_/\/\/\_

One day he was on his way to Luffy's apartment, which he moved into about a month after he got out of the hospital and thus making him no longer a patient to stay in the specialized apartment. He worked on the arrangement by himself and hoped the other didn't mind when he returns to find that he now has a roommate. He went to the couch and decided to take a nap, when he heard a knock on the door.

He didn't like when he's about to take a nap only to be disturbed. "Better not be those sales people again…" He got up and headed to the door to look at the peep hole, only to back up slightly with a shocked look. He opened the door, still in shock and the door revealed Luffy, smiling and hugged him.

"Zoro! I'm so glad to see you!"

Zoro hugged the other back, confirming that the other is solid in his arms and brought them into the apartment. "Luffy…?"

"Yeah, didn't the old lady doctor call you that I was coming?"

He blinked as he rested his forehead on the other's head. "Why the hell would she do that? She takes pleasure in making people suffer then making them feel better."

Luffy blinked but he smiled as he moved his head to kiss the other, who returned it until both were practically hungry for one another.

"You're sure you're up for this?" Zoro asked. "You just got out of the hospital after all."

"I've been asleep for too long. And the old lady said I'm very fit and healthy for someone who just woke up."

Zoro took off the other's shirt before the other said anything.

"Zoro-!" He started to say as he was moved to the couch and the other was on top of him. "Zoro! What the-!" He stopped when he saw that the other just had his ear pressed up against the chest where the heart is.

"So it really is beating okay for you?"

Luffy got his hand up and petted the other's head. "Yeah… I always said you have a good heart."

"Then why did it try to kill me?"

"It wasn't trying to kill you."

"It was Luffy…"

Luffy moved his hand to the base of the man's neck and massaged it. "You know what I think? I think its your heart's way of saying to find me soon."

Zoro got up and look at the other. "What the hell?"

"Think about it, it's rare for someone to have a bad heart without good reason and then have someone be a perfect match to save them without the other paying the price, but gaining it."

He shook his head. "Whatever you say Luffy, I'm just happy to see you." He said as he cupped the other's face. "Mind if we hold that off until the end of this month, just to be sure."

Luffy smiled as he brought the other down to kiss him as his response.

"Okay. Now… would you like something to eat?"

"Yes! I'm starving!" Luffy whined as he brought out the puppy eyes. "That old lady was so scary I had to get out quickly so I can eat without her throwing those knife things at me!"

Zoro figured as much as he got up. "Okay, you take a shower while I get started."

"Kay!"

_/\/\/\_

A month went by and Zoro and Luffy returned from spending a night in the city with the rest of the group, who were happy to see Luffy is in great health.

Luffy grinned as he locked the apartment door and looked to see the other had a similar grin as he headed to the bed room. But he ran and jumped onto the other's back and got a piggy back ride there.

Both laughed as they got into their shared room and Luffy got off of the man's back as the older of the two turned to him.

"You sure you're up to it?" He asked, wanting to be completely sure that the other can handle it.

"I'm sure Zoro." He said as he sneaked a hand under the other's shirt.

He grinned as he leaned down to kiss the other softly before parting again to meet the other's eyes. "If you feel like you're in pain, you better let me know damnit."

"You're such a worry wart!" Luffy said as he nuzzled his nose up against the others. "I'll be fine, because it's Zoro who's doing it."

He blushed lightly at that. "Oi…" He started to say as the other kissed him while the sneaky hand was touching his lower torso. He grinned into the kiss as he proceeded to remove the other's shirt while kissing the other.

((Lemon – Haven't done one in awhile))

Once the shirt was off and the other's hand moved from his abs to his chest, trying to remove his shirt, he helped along as well as threw it to the floor. Zoro then moved the other to the bed and guided the other to lie on his back while he hovered a bit above him. He looked down and saw the scar on the younger's chest and traced it lightly with his finger.

"We're almost alike now." Luffy said as he trailed his finger on the other's chest. "Yours is still cooler though…" He pouted making the other chuckle.

"Tough." He said as he leaned down and kissed the other passionately as he roamed his hands everywhere on the other's chest, noting the spots that made the other giggle or moan as he kissed along the jaw line and down the neck, where the other's moans were getting louder.

He thought he heard someone pounding the wall, but he grinned as he continued pleasuring his boyfriend as he moved his hands down lower, but didn't undo the other's pants, much to the other's displeasure.

"Zoro…" He whined as he thrusted his hips, colliding it with the others and thus feeling the other's erect member trapped in his pants as well.

He quickly placed his hands under the other's rear to keep the lower half against him as he nibbed the other's ear as he lowly growled out. "Don't be hasty now…" He said heatedly as he moved both of them further onto the bed. He then started to undo the other's pants, freeing the member from the first of two articles of fabric.

Luffy moaned at the freed feeling as he felt the other kissing down his neck and left a love bite at the curve of his neck where it met the shoulder. He moved his hands from the man's back to wrap his arms around the man's neck, which he heard the other chuckle but he could feel the other's hands taking off his pants and boxers, freeing his erection from any confines. He hissed at the sudden cold air, which was quickly replaced with a moan when he felt the other's rough hands massaging his inner thighs. He could feel himself building as his hands went down to the other's shoulder blades and dug his nails into the other's back.

Zoro growled low when he felt nails on his back, but he grinned as he moved one hand behind the other and grabbed the rear, causing the other to dig his nails deeper. "Fuck… I want you now!" He said as he started to undo his pants.

Luffy had his lust filled eyes on the other, taking in everything as the heat continued to build inside him as he started to whisper the man's name softly between his uneven breathing.

Zoro, still having some common sense in his otherwise hazy, lust-filled mind, he reached under one of the pillows and brought out a condom and lube. He opened the lube and covered one finger, then another, before positioning the other. "This will feel uncomfortable…" He warned as he placed the tip of his finger inside the other's entrance and watch the other seem to regain his senses.

"Will it hurt?"

"Honestly, yes. But I'll try my best to make it less so."

"I trust you." He said with a smile as he felt more of the finger going in and whined. "It feels weird."

Zoro chuckled, helping him clear his mind from the haze a moment ago. "Trust me, this will help to when 'I' go in." He said as he placed a second finger in, causing the other to squirm.

Luffy got a chance to have a look at the man's member and his eyes widened, which the other caught.

"I hope that's a good surprise look."

"It's huge…"

He chuckled as he used his other hand to rub the other's tip. "Yours isn't that bad either." He said as he watched the other moan and whimper as he felt the pre-cum on his finger, brought it up to his lips and licked it, all while the other was watching. "Not bad…" He said with a predator grin.

Luffy resembled a tomato as he felt the fingers stretching him, making him dig his nails into the other's back once more.

Zoro growled in pleasure when he felt the nails on his back, and even more when he felt the nails move, but not to the point of scratching him. He can feel himself building, but he wanted to make sure the other's entrance was ready for his member. He used the other hand to grab the condom, ripped it open with his teeth, placed it on himself and took his two fingers out and placed himself to the mostly prepared entrance. "Ready?" He asked as he looked at the other, who was once again lost in his lust filled haze. He took it as a yes and got the tip in, which seemed to bring the other back to reality.

He tried to ease the other's discomfort by kissing the other in various places he knew would be pleasurable to the other while also rubbing the other's member for extra pleasurable support before moving in more.

Luffy was in a mixed world of pain and pleasure as he whimpered, moaned, gasped, and cried a little as he felt the huge member entering him until he could wrap his legs around the other's middle.

"You okay?" Zoro asked in uneven breaths.

"Yeah…" Luffy said as he held the other close.

"You want to continue?"

Luffy didn't say anything as he looked at the other, kissed him and unwrapped his legs to free the other to move.

Zoro understood and started to move in a steady pace as he watched the other as he pumped the other's member in time with his thrusts. When he heard and saw the other in a way he hadn't seen before, he knew he had to do that again and thus started the increase pace and all common sense gone in the heat of the moment.

This continued for another few minutes until Luffy couldn't hold back any longer and cried out as he climaxed, this was followed by the other as both collapsed onto the bed.

Both were speechless for sometime before they caught their breath.

Zoro was about to ask the other if he was okay when he heard the familiar beat of the heart going from rapid from their moment of lovemaking to the steady beat of the aftermath. He listened to the heart and found it the most wonderful sound he'd ever hear.

((Lemon End))

"Zoro?" Luffy said softly after a small nap after the aftermath. "Zoro?" He petted the other's head, rousing him to wake up and look at him. "You fell asleep too, huh?"

"Yeah. You okay?"

Luffy smiled and nodded. "That was amazing."

He chuckled as he brushed away the bangs off the other's face. "You're really beautiful, you know that?"

Luffy blushed as he giggled. "That's a first."

"I'm serious." He said as he kissed the other's neck. "I love you so much that I might've died a hundred times without realizing."

"Zoro!"

He chuckled. "If that's the case, I'm glad to see this angel's face every time."

Luffy was blushing more out of embarrassment and the fact that he's being complimented as the other kissed him softly.

"Thank you…"

"Hm?"

"Thank you for being in my life when I believed it was pointless."

Luffy smiled as he cupped the other's face. "Thank you for taking me to your place that night."

Zoro smiled as he kissed the other on the lips, the other kissing back as they spent the rest of the evening loving each other's company.

Okay! Now to continue with the reviews before we head to the next chapter, unless you really don't care and, by all means, continue to the next and final chapter.
