That Cute Guy
Sanji felt the eyes on him. Instead of returning the gaze, he deliberately chooses to ignore it. After about a minute of staring at his half empty glass, he turns to his friends. "He still looking this way?"
"Oh definitely," Nami chuckles. "As a matter of fact, he may or may not be coming towards us as we speak."
The blonde pauses and turns to her, heart beating a nervous rhythm in his chest. "No he's not."
Usopp hums in thought. "The one with green hair, right?"
Sanji feels his stomach drop. "Yeah, that's-"
"Hey."
The new voice startles him, and Usopp shoots him a small supportive smile. Sanji turns to his right slowly, almost in a trance. He comes face to face with the piece of eye candy he was ogling on the other side of the bar, who greets him with this adorable drunken smile, and god. Sanji knew he was cute from afar, but up close, this man was nothing short of fine. He pulls off being on the cusp of drunkenness effortlessly, carrying himself with a confidence much better than Sanji could've hoped to had he been in his place.
"I'm Zoro," he says, lopsided smile widening.
Fuck. "I'm Sanji," he replies, a little breathless.
"You uh," Zoro's attention darts to his friends, then returns back to him. "Come around here often?"
He hears Nami behind him poorly disguise a laugh as a cough, and Zoro glares at her. Sanji can't help but smile at the endearing effort. It makes his heart soar.
"I don't, really," he admits sheepishly, and Zoro deflates a little. Sanji leans an elbow on the table and rests his chin on his palm, looking up at the green haired through lidded eyes. "But I can if you'll be here."
