Erm... well... this is basically what happens when Plushie can't think of anything better to write. lol.

The Opportune Moment

Lately, Zoro had been feeling as though he was being constantly watched. Of course, he always felt that way because he was on a ship full of people who watched each other and for good reason. What with three devil fruit users aboard, and the frightening prospect of them falling overboard and drowning, everyone was constantly watching everyone. But still… Anyway, Zoro shook his head and smirked.

He had a feeling he knew who was watching him, but he wasn't going to say anything. As a famous and strange pirate had said once, 'Wait for the opportune moment'. Zoro didn't know who that pirate was, but, the phrase certainly suited this situation. Well, the opportune moment presented itself one day when Nami called a meeting that Zoro and Luffy had run as far from as they possibly could. (It was a meeting to tally up the debts each member of the crew owed her) and those two had the highest rate, so, they had bolted. Hiding in the storage room had been the best bet, and so there they were. Zoro felt the opportune moment had presented itself, and therefore, took it by the throat and throttled the hell out of it.

"Oi, stop breathing so loud." Zoro said as Luffy leaned against the wall beside him. Luffy blinked at him.

"Sorry." he apologised and then let his head rest back against the wall, "Do you think we're safe?"

"Don't know. As long as she doesn't look for us, we're safe… for now. Won't be when we go back up again later though."

"Heh… Nami'll kill us for running."

"No, she won't. She'll just triple our debts." he responded. Luffy gave a short laugh and then turned so he was facing Zoro. The swordsman could feel the eyes scanning him and smirked inwardly. He turned to Luffy, and the captain's ears reddened ever so slightly. He peered up at Zoro carefully, wondering whether the swordsman knew or not.

"You want me." Zoro said teasingly. Yeah… Zoro knew. Luffy blinked, and something in his mind decided, hey, let's deny all concept of ever wanting Zoro in anyway. Apart from as a crew mate.

"No!" he instantly defended, stepping backwards. Zoro advanced on him a step, turning his shoulder towards the boy a little as he did so and grinning almost wolfishly.

"Do." Zoro muttered, still advancing on the boy. Luffy stuck his chest out and took another step back, which unfortunately happened to lead into a corner. Zoro slammed both palms into the wall on either side of Luffy's head and grinned into the captain's face.

"Not." Luffy muttered, but his resolve was quickly deteriorating as Zoro leant so close.

"Do." Zoro whispered and then pressed his lips to Luffy's. The first kiss hit a home run. Luffy tingled from head to toe, and his head spun wildly, but the need to respond to Zoro became almost unbearable and he pushed the swordsman off of him.

"Not." he growled, but his hands were clenched in the shirt. Zoro raised an eyebrow and leant in again. The second kiss won the game. Without even breaking the kiss, Zoro said,

"Do, and always have." so that was how he talked when he had a sword handle in his mouth.

Once again, this is what happens when Plushie watches too many movies where one of the characters obviously likes the other, and the other realizes, and takes advantage of the whole situation. Yeah... really gotta stop watching those movies. -sigh- And yes, this is in reference to Captain Jack Sparrow from Pirates of the Caribbean (I don't own that by the way). I love pirates of the caribbean... I love One piece... I love pirates in general! -grin-
