Little filler chapter. We're declining towards the end, guys! It's so bittersweet :')

Half a year through college, Sanji was now sitting at the desk in his room writing a paper for his English class when his phone started buzzing beside him. He sighed, as it was not the most convenient time to be getting a call.

Zeff

You had to call now old man? He thought as he pressed the answer button.

"Hello?"

"SANJI!"

The blond recoiled and turned the phone away from his ear, "OW! Fuck, Luffy, why are you on Zeff's phone?!"

"Because I have a surprise to tell you and it was his idea so I'm with him but I forgot my phone." He rushed his words, obviously excited for the main part of the call.

The blond sighed; well, so much for productivity. When Luffy didn't talk for another couple of seconds, Sanji realized he was waiting for permission to tell him his "surprise". Waiting. Huh. Luffy has grown up somewhat, I guess.

"WE BOUGHT YOU AN APARTMENT!"

Maybe not. "You bought me an apartment?" Sanji repeated, slightly taken aback.

"Mhm! And it's close to your college and stuff but it's private so you don't have to share it." Luffy replied, the last part said with a bit more malice than the blond was expecting.

It was kind of to be expected, though. Ever since the incident that'd happened a few months ago, the younger of the two seemed to show his jealousy a tad bit more often. And while Sanji couldn't exactly say he was glad his boyfriend was jealous, he did like the fact that he wasn't afraid to tell him about how he felt anymore.

"So, when do I get to see this new apartment?"

"Right now!" Luffy replied, though it didn't just come from the phone…

The blond turned in his chair, quickly coming face-to-face with a giant grin and wide brown eyes. He jumped back and nearly knocked his lamp off his desk. He quickly saved the poor light while Luffy laughed at the reaction.

"Dammit, Luffy, how did you get in here?!"

"Not important, let's go!" The raven grabbed his boyfriend's arm and dragged him out of his dorm room and didn't let go until they were both in the back seat of Zeff's car (Luffy wouldn't let either of them sit up front because then he wouldn't be able to drag Sanji out when they got there).

After about a five minute drive, they came to a large, slightly modern-looking apartment building. They all got out of the car (Luffy continued to drag Sanji excitedly) and walked into the building. A short ride in an elevator later and they're standing at a door to an apartment located on the sixth floor of the building. Zeff pulls out a key from his pocket and unlocks the entrance, pushing in the door and stepping to the side.

"Well, brat. Go on in." He says.

Sanji smiles before strolling into the room. It's spacious. There're nearly no walls and one hall that leads to, what Sanji assumes is, the bedroom and bathroom. The large open room had a kitchen separated by a half wall to one side, a small area to the other, probably meant for a living room if the amount of outlets in the walls were anything to go by, and another open space that could be a dining room.

The blond smiled.

"Why did you get me this?" He asked as he turned to look at his boyfriend and father.

"Because you deserve it." Zeff said proudly. "And because Luffy didn't want you in a shared dorm." He whispered under his breath, though the youngest teen heard him anyway and shot him a glare.

The college student chuckled, "Thank you guys, really. But how am I gonna pay the rent for this place?"

"I'll pay your rent for a while until you can get a good job." His dad replied.

"Wow…just…thank you." The blond said, still quite blown away at the thought of having his own place.

"I'm gonna visit you everyday!" Luffy yelled.

"No!"

"Yes!"

"No!" Sanji yelled back again as he rushed down the hall into his new bedroom, Luffy hot on his tail. Both leaving a chuckling Zeff in their wake.
