Luffy wiped the sweat from his brow, his stomach muscles clenching tightly. His thighs burned from the effort but he didn't stop. His hand dropped back down to Zoro's hip, lifting his partner's ass slightly off the bed for a different angle.
"Damn." Zoro groaned, his hands pressing against the headboard. He arched his back, his buttocks settling into Luffy's grip.
Luffy thrust forcefully, his legs spreading further apart on the bed. He kept his hands at Zoro's waist, repositioning the man beneath him to match his own movements. Luffy groaned, his eyes closing. He murmured softly, his head rolling forward, "Feel good?"
"Uh huh." Zoro grunted, his toes curling against the bedspread.
"Me too." Luffy breathed out, his pace quickening.
"Fuck." Zoro spat, his head falling back to the bed. "Th…There… Don't stop…"
Luffy nodded wordlessly, slamming his hips against Zoro. He pumped into Zoro hard and deep. Sweat glistened over his light brown skin, his hair slick against his head. Luffy bit down on his lip, his skin flushing bright red from his chest to his ears. "There?"
"Uh huh." Zoro moaned, covering his face with his hand before biting down on his fist.
"You close?" Luffy asked, his muscles stiffening.
"Yuh huh." Zoro murmured, his hand pressing gently against Luffy's chest. "I'm close."
Luffy nodded, his thrusts slowing. He rocked his hips back and forth, his hand pumping Zoro's leaking cock. Luffy growled sensually, his eyes fluttering closed as he ejaculated inside of Zoro. He moaned quietly, his hand continuously stroking Zoro as his hips slowed. Zoro orgasmed a moment later, his sperm spewing over Luffy's hand and both of their stomachs.
Zoro patted Luffy's chest and Luffy nodded, rolling over and throwing Zoro a towel. Zoro wiped himself off, a satisfied flush dusted across his cheeks. When Zoro finished he handed Luffy the towel. Luffy wiped his hands and threw the towel into the hamper.
"Mmm…" Luffy drawled with a smile. "That was goooood."
"Yeah." Zoro agreed, positioning his arm so Luffy could lay closer.
"You're gonna miss it so bad." Luffy reproached, narrowing his eyes.
"Probably." Zoro conceded with a guilty frown.
"I'm not the type to wait around forever, Mr. Seaman." Luffy teased, fluttering his flashes. His large eyes seemed even larger than ever. "What if I get lonely?"
"Cuddle this pillow, right here, and think of me." Zoro instructed, yanking the pillow out from between the bed and headboard.
"You want me to fuck a pillow?" Luffy asked arching a brow, pushing the pillow between his legs.
"No." Zoro denied flatly, shaking his head once. "You shouldn't need to fuck anything, not even a pillow, from now until March."
"I fuck myself twice a day, sometimes more…" Luffy drawled, his voice frizzing at the ends of his words.
"It's only until March. It'll go faster than you know." Zoro assured him, pecking his temple for good measure.
Luffy rolled over, placing his hands and head on Zoro's broad chest. He blinked at Zoro wordlessly for a moment before letting out a heavy sigh. "But your basic training isn't over until July. We could be waiting until July…."
"It'll work out." Zoro replied. "I promise."
Luffy nodded, letting his head rest against Zoro's softly heaving chest. "I love you."
"I love you too."
"If you gotta go, you gotta go…"
"It's for our future." Zoro reminded gently, embracing Luffy tightly.
"Yeah, I know." Luffy pouted. "But it still sucks."
"I'll call as soon as I can." Zoro promised.
Luffy made a face, "I know how the SDF works. That'll take forever."
"You're moving in March. It's only until March." Zoro repeated for the hundredth time.
"I'm gonna strangle that meddling old man…" Luffy growled, balling his hands into fists. "Gramps is gonna pay for this!"
"Hey, your dream is a house? Then I'm damn well gonna get you a house, Luffy." Zoro said resolutely.
"But being together would be nice too." Luffy muttered.
"This is just one small part of the rest of our lives." Zoro pointed out patiently.
"You're gonna get horny first. And you'll have no one to blame but yourself." Luffy accused.
"Oh yeah?" Zoro arched a thin brow, a smirk on his face. "I'll be fine."
"I won't." Luffy sighed, throwing himself back down dramatically.
"I've only ever been interested in you. I really don't think I'll have much of a problem when we're apart." Zoro explained. "And your libido's been low since… the hospital, so I'm pretty sure you'll be alright too."
Luffy screwed up his face, considering his reply to what only got more offensive the longer he thought on it, "Oh?"
"It'll be over before we know it. And when you get to Yokosuka I'll make it up to you." Zoro replied, oblivious to Luffy's mood shift. "We can do this."
"You really should have asked me first, Zoro." Luffy finally said.
Zoro looked taken aback at first but then he simply nodded, "I know."
"If this was for us, then maybe we should have been the ones to decide…"
Zoro nodded again, "I know."
"You didn't even ask if I wanted to live in Yokosuka." Luffy complained.
"Well, I mean," Zoro began, getting defensive. "We've talked about living in different places and you seemed okay with it…" Zoro paused before continuing. "And you're the one who wanted to leave Tokyo!"
"Well, I wanted to go to Toyama." Luffy pointed out.
Zoro made a face, "I'm not moving back to Toyama."
"Zoro, you're so stupid!" Luffy declared, rolling off the bed and onto his feet. He fished his pants from the floor and pulled them on quickly, Zoro's pillow still clutched in his hand.
"Hey!" Zoro nearly shouted, sitting up. "Where are you going?"
"Home." Luffy snapped, grabbing his shirt from a separate pile on the floor.
"Ah." Zoro's eyes widened in shock. "Wait." Luffy paused in the doorway to listen. "I'm leaving in two days."
"You should've thought about that before." Luffy breathed out, eyes wide.
"Damn it, Luffy!" Zoro growled, springing across the bed and onto the floor. He grabbed his pants, hopping down the hallway as he tugged them on. "Wait a minute…"
"Luffy! Wait!" Zoro barked, reaching for Luffy's open hand.
Luffy yanked to a stop, his thin arm held by Zoro's hand. He turned around and immediately broke down into tears. He snarled in frustration, wiping at his face with a balled fist. "I'm crying because I'm mad!"
"Okay." Zoro murmured.
"I'm really fucking mad!" Luffy sobbed, tears streaming down his cheeks. He wiped his face again but the tears just wouldn't stop falling. "Fuck!"
"Okay." Zoro murmured again, his hand resting on Luffy's cheek, catching Luffy's tears.
"I've waited so long for this! For us! And now you're asking me to wait again?" Luffy shook his head angrily, wiping furiously at the snot that dripped down his lips.
"I'm not asking you to wait. I'm asking you to be patient." Zoro said softly, brushing away the biggest tears with his thumbs.
"What's the fucking difference?" Luffy asked, his shoulders heaving.
"We're already together. It's already just you and me." Zoro breathed out. "I love you. I had no idea you were looking for me before. I had no way to know… I didn't know you were waiting." Luffy only cried, his breaths coming out in jerks and his shoulders pitching up and down. "Don't cry. Please, Luffy…"
"I don't wanna be crying!" Luffy barked, his voice thick. "I told you, I'm angry."
"I know." Zoro breathed, nodding his head. "I'm sorry."
"I'm really, really mad at you." Luffy admitted.
"I know." Zoro swallowed thickly. "I'm sorry."
"I just can't forgive you yet." Luffy confessed, shaking his head. He pulled himself free of Zoro's grip, rubbing his arm where Zoro had inadvertently left marks.
"Please don't leave."
Luffy made a face, his mouth hanging open in near disgust, "You first."
"Where's Zoro?"
Luffy looked up, the pillow imprint creased across his sleepy face. "Hm?"
"Where's Zoro?" Usopp repeated, looking around the small apartment curiously. "Run outta beer?"
"He's not here." Luffy replied simply, settling back down against the couch.
"Oh yeah?" Usopp's brows furrowed. He shrugged, his lips pushing outward. "I figured you'd be marathon-ing it while you still can."
"Yeah, well, he's a big, stupid jerk!" Luffy groaned, burying his face in the pillow.
Usopp paused mid-step before turning back around, "Whoa… Wait a minute… What's wrong?"
"I don't wanna talk about it." Luffy murmured. "I'm sleeping."
"Luffy," Usopp began gently. "You're understandably upset. But if you don't spend time with him now, you're really going to regret it."
"I didn't ask for advice." Luffy spat, turning to face the back of the couch.
"Wow." Usopp raised his hands in gesture. "What the hell did I do?"
"Nothing." Luffy admitted. "You're just here."
"Luffy," Usopp tried again. "I don't know what happened, but this is a bad idea."
"What's a bad idea?" Luffy asked, his voice muffled by the pillow.
"Can he change anything at this point?" Usopp asked.
Luffy rolled his eyes but answered, "No. Not a thing."
"Can you change anything at this point?" Usopp rephrased.
Luffy was quiet for a moment before pushing off the couch. He grabbed his phone and keys off the coffee table and shuffled toward the door. "I'm going out."
"Okay." Usopp called, waving goodbye. "Have fun."
Luffy grunted in response. He opened the door, locking it behind him. He walked across the complex toward Zoro's apartment. He knocked and merely seconds later the door was opened. "Luffy…"
"I'm still mad at you." Luffy said simply.
"Okay."
"But I want to spend time with you before you leave." Luffy finished.
"Come in." Zoro said, shrugging his shoulders awkwardly before stepping aside. "Thanks for coming back."
"Senpai," Luffy spoke softly, his fingers gliding along Zoro's.
"Mmhmm?" Zoro murmured, his eyes closed.
"I love you."
"I love you too."
"But you still suck," Luffy pointed out.
"I know."
"I'm going to miss you."
"I know." Luffy scoffed and sat up slightly, glowering at Zoro. Zoro laughed, an easy-going smirk plastered on his face. He hugged Luffy tightly against himself. "I'm kidding. I'm going to miss you too."
"Oooooh, Sen-pai…" Luffy drawled. "You're in so much trouble already…"
"I know. I know." Zoro sighed, brushing his hand through Luffy's messy hair.
"I want shoji and fusuma in our house." Luffy decided, tapping Zoro's chin.
"What sort of house are we gonna have, Daimyo?" Zoro teased.
"Keep talking. Now you're building an engawa to wrap all the way around the house."
"Only the best for you." Zoro replied. "I am surprised you're aiming for such a traditional Japanese home though."
"To match my traditional Japanese husband." Luffy retorted, sticking out his tongue.
"Tch."
"If I say I want a dog or cat one day will you join Green Peace or something? I don't wanna risk it…" Luffy teased.
"Stop." Zoro groaned.
"Maybe we'll have seven cats." Luffy suggested.
"Hell no." Zoro refused immediately. "The whole house would smell like cat piss."
"Don't talk about our children that way!" Luffy gasped. "Nah. I'm kidding. I don't want seven damn cats. I think I'm rooting for a dog."
"We'll start with a plant. And if you can take care of it we can talk about a pet." Zoro teased.
Luffy snickered, "Okay. Fine. Whatever."
"He looks damn good in that uniform, huh?"
Luffy bristled, his arms crossed over his chest. "Grandpa."
"Hiya, Luffy. What's the sour face for, kid?" Garp questioned.
"You." Luffy accused, stepping forward to rearrange the collar of Zoro's uniform.
"Ah. It's not every day that a Vice Admiral comes to pick up a Cadet." Garp explained, adjusting his own uniform. "It's an honor, brat."
"Whatever."
"You'll be wearing a uniform soon enough, right?" Garp pressed impatiently.
"Hell no." Luffy barked. "I'd never wear this jacked up sailor suit."
"Hey now! That's what every cadet starts with, Luffy!"
"And it's stupid." Luffy retorted with a shrug. "I don't wanna. I ain't gonna."
"Where did I go wrong?" Garp groaned, rubbing his temples.
"Who knows? I'd guess when you joined the SDF." Luffy mumbled.
"What happened to you considering enlisting? Huh? If you're quitting school what the hell else are ya gonna do?" Garp demanded.
"Read manga and learn to knit."
"Luffy!" Garp cried out, closing his eyes and clutching his chest. "Stop fooling around. It's time to join."
"Nah." Luffy said, brushing his hands over Zoro's shoulders. "If I join I'll have no say over where I am or where I'll be. I can't do it."
"Zoro, talk some sense into this shitty kid…"
Zoro was silent. He looked at Luffy and smiled, his hands cupping Luffy's face. They kissed slowly, his warm hands cradling Luffy's cheeks. "I'm stupid. Thanks for loving me anyway."
Luffy's face split into a smile, "You're welcome."
"I'm gonna miss you." Zoro whispered.
"I know." Luffy replied, grinning widely.
"This is temporary." Zoro said, as if reminding himself.
"I'll start reading up on wagoya style framing…" Luffy murmured. "I'm sure we can figure it out. How hard can it be?"
"Between Usopp and Franky, I'm fairly certain we can manage." Zoro pointed out.
"It's getting late." Garp interrupted, clearing his throat.
"Agh. Go away, Grandpa." Luffy groaned.
"Sorry, kid. I gotta take Zoro with me." Garp replied.
Luffy nodded as Zoro removed his hands from his face. "I'll call as soon as they let me."
"Send nudes." Luffy teased, keeping a straight face.
"Absolutely not." Zoro groaned.
"I'll wait outside." Garp decided, shaking his head as if that could clear the memory.
"No really. Send nudes." Luffy repeated, chuckling to himself.
"Please don't send me dick pics while I'm in basic training." Zoro pleaded. "If my drill sergeant found that… I would just die."
"Do you think they'd kick you out?" Luffy wondered.
"I got kicked out of school. If I get kicked out of the damn Navy too I might lose my mind."
"Ah, yeah, sorry…"
"We couldn't afford to build a house on my old pay." Zoro pointed out. "And I can't be doing manual labor forever."
"What's the military?" Luffy cried in frustration.
"Does your Grandpa do a lot of heavy lifting?" Zoro countered.
"Alright. You can go." Luffy sighed.
"Oh, well thank you." Zoro replied, kissing Luffy's forehead.
"You have my approval, I guess…" Luffy muttered.
"Thank you." Zoro said seriously. "That makes this so much easier."
"I'm still mad." Luffy decided, crossing his arms over his chest. "But I forgive you."
"I'm still not sending you nudes." Zoro teased.
"You will… you will…" Luffy replied.
There was a knock on the door. "Ah. He's getting impatient."
"I guess it's time for you to go." Luffy realized.
"I'll talk to you soon." Zoro said, clutching Luffy's hand in his.
"Be careful." Luffy added, squeezing Zoro's hand as they walked to the door.
"I will." Zoro nodded. "You too."
"Don't have too much fun without me."
"I won't." Zoro chuckled. "You neither."
"Alright. Fuck this shit. Just go already." Luffy snapped. "Like a Band-Aid."
"Yeah." Zoro agreed, kissing Luffy despite his words. "Like a Band-Aid."
