Sanji enjoyed taking care of Zoro and Megumi. It was a huge shock to learn that Zoro trusted him and that he took Zoro's virginity. He felt less guilty now that he has taken care of him now. He would have taken care of him before if he knew but this is the best he's going to get.

He did notice Zoro acting weird after the fourth day. He wanted to ask but Zoro got passed him somehow and Megumi has bad timing. Coming in when he thought would be a perfect chance. He didn't like that Zoro didn't look him in the eye. He wanted to know if he did something wrong again. If there was something they needed to talk about. So when he saw Megumi's room opened and empty he freaked out.

When he made eye contact with Zoro he froze. There was so much emotion in those onyx eyes that he didn't know what to do. Zoro then acted like there was nothing wrong. He seemed happier but still avoided making eye contact with him. When he asked, Zoro just said he was happy with a smile he's only ever seen the green haired man give to Megumi.

Sanji left with Megumi after Zoro. He got a head start on searching for a job while Sanji dropped Megumi off at school. He's glad Zoro is fine but he can't help but feel sad Zoro won't make eye contact with him. But Zoro is fine and happy so that's all that should matter.

Sanji left work to pick up Megumi. Zeff let him leave. He and Zoro talked about it. Zoro wanted as much time as possible so he could search. He enjoyed the time he could spend with her but it was getting late and he started to worry. Megumi worried too, not wanting to go to bed till Zoro came home.

Sanji started to get antsy as time went on until they both heard the door open and shut. Sanji and Megumi bolt to the door like dogs happy to see their owner. Sanji ready to console Zoro. It must have been bad if he was out all day. He really hated seeing Zoro get rejected the way he is.

Sanji freezes as Zoro turned his head towards them as he takes his shoes off. Zoro seems happy. With his shoes off he goes to hug Sanji. "I got a part time job!" Zoro says squeezes his hold on Sanji. Sanji smiles and hugs Zoro back. Zoro is extremely happy. He's sporting a very big smile and Sanji couldn't help but feel happy for him. Zoro let's go faster than when he went in for the hug. "S-sorry." Again Zoro avoids eye contact. "I'm back Megumi." Zoro says looking at her, she smiles back then starts to rummage through her backpack. Both parents watch her before she takes out a piece of paper. She hands it to Zoro.

"My teacher wanted me to give it to you." She looks at Zoro as he takes the paper and reads it.

"What is it?" Sanji moves closer to Zoro who scoots away from Sanji just a little bit.

"It's an open house invitation. Its a way for the parents to meet the teachers and other parents." Zoro says.

"When is it?" Sanji asks as Zoro moves into the apartment. He goes into the kitchen with Sanji and Megumi following.

"Its next week." Zoro says hanging it on the refrigerator door.

"Can you come?" Megumi asks. She looks worried for some reason. Zoro tilts his head.

"Of course." Zoro smiles as he picks Megumi up in his arms. Sanji watches as Zoro and Megumi talk. Zoro is radiating. He's shining like the sun. Was getting the part time job that big of a deal?

Sanji and Zoro put Megumi to sleep. Zoro stayed longer to talk to her while Sanji re-heated dinner for Zoro.

Zoro comes out of her room and into the dinning area to find a plate set. He instantly knows its for him. Zoro sits and starts to eat. "So what's the job?" Sanji asks shocking Zoro with his presence. He thought he was alone.

"What if I said librarian?" Zoro says seriously. Not a second after Sanji is dying on the floor laughing. Sanji stops when he sees Zoro glaring, not at him but in his direction. Sanji catches his breath. "Seriously?"

"No but I didn't think you would react that bad. I'm not librarian material?" Zoro asks sulking as he ate. Sanji smiles and giggles at Zoro's reaction.

"With a muscle head like you, seeing you in a library is a sign the apocalypse is starting. You seem more like a person who works in construction or something involving heavy lifting. So what job did you get?" Sanji asks still wondering. Zoro looks to the side.

"Helping at a bookstore." He mutters.

"Seriously? A bookstore? Doing what?" Sanji stared at Zoro wide eye.

"Helping unload boxes and putting books away." Zoro looks away, only because he hit the nail on the coffin with the whole construction and heavy lifting comment.

"How'd that happen?"

"Well I was out of my wits end and the owner of the book store talked to me. No one was hiring me and I already talked to the last person on my list that I applied to. I helped her out today and she hired me."

"Well you got a job but are you sure you'll be fine in a small book store?" Sanji asks not able to imagine Zoro in a small book store. Zoro just stares.

"It's not small. It's called Oharas book store."

"Wait Oharas? There use to be a country called that, remember Robin is the last survivor."

"Yes I remember, the country was known for research. That's what the book store is named after. It's an extremely popular book store. There are two stories worth of bookshelves." Sanji just stares at Zoro. That's actually a pretty good sounding job.

"So about the open house at Megumi's school," Sanji starts.

"What about it?"

"Can I go too? I'm sure I can make it. I want to meet the other parents and teachers." Sanji says.

"You don't have to ask. If you want to go then you can go. It's in the afternoon before lunch so we'll have to bring our own food. We'll be sitting with Megumi's classmates and other parents. I don't know if it's in the cafeteria or if it's going to be in the courtyard like last year."

"Last year?"

"Yeah when she was in kindergarten. Because of that there wasn't a lot of kids so they just had a big picnic in the courtyard. The parents talked while the kids played in the grass."

"It will probably be different."

"Maybe, we'll just have to wait and see." Zoro says finishing his food.
