Like Sanji said he would he took them all to the mall. He was happy about some parts like Megumi, her telling him that she's never been to the mall before. What he wasn't happy about is Zoro. Almost the whole week he had been wearing his normal clothes but today he decided to wear some of his new clothes. And they match! He wore nice blue fitted jeans, black converse, a white dress shirt under a green cardigan. It made him look like a sexy teacher or something. What made it worse is that Megumi did his hair that morning. Brushing it back but some stray strands of hair fell on his forehead. Sanji couldn't help himself but stare at him. Zoro always looked like a bum but he is as delicious as he was during Halloween. Sanji so badly wanted to do so many naughty things to him it was bad for his mental health. It didn't help that as they walked to the doors he stuck close to Megumi so he wouldn't get a tent in his pants but then Zoro would be alone and everyone walking back to their cars would ogle at him like he's a five star meal and they've been starved. Hell Sanji is starved but he told himself to go slow for Zoro.
The worst reaction he's seen, the reactions he hated, would have to be the teachers at the school and some of the parents. Sanji couldn't help but frown and feel jealous that he's being looked at. Zoro's his damn it! All during work he thought about how jealous he was being. He's never been jealous before and didn't know how to stop himself, he didn't know what to do. How does he stop this feeling?
Sanji then went to hold Zoro's hand because he started going the wrong way. Well that stopped the jealous feeling. Showing everyone they are together made him feel better. He even felt himself standing a few inches taller. Yeah, that's right world, Zoro is his. They are together.
All three stood going up the escalator as they all still held hands, no one let go. Well Megumi didn't because it was a rule that she shouldn't wander by herself and she had to hold someone's hand or piece of clothing. She had to stay close. Zoro wanted to hold Sanji's hand and Sanji wanted the world to see that Zoro is his. "You seem happy all of a sudden." Zoro points out. Sanji's smile didn't disappear.
Megumi nods, "you got happy when we came inside." She points out.
"You were really quiet on our way here." Zoro says.
"I was just jealous at how good you look in your new clothes." Sanji says enjoying the blush that spread on the green haired man's' cheeks. Oh, that was satisfying. Zoro looked away and muttered 'idiot' but didn't let go of his hand, he actually held on tighter which made the chef do the same.
Megumi and Zoro stood in the small isle of the swim wear for little girls. He did have rules though, no two piece. He didn't know why that existed for little girls but whatever, he's not letting Megumi choose that or wear one until he's dead. She then decided on a purple one with green swirls on it. The strap is thick and ruffled a little and it had a small skirt attached to it. She seemed really happy with it and so did he. Sanji then walked down with a cart full of things. Zoro stared wide eyed at the cart. There was so much stuff. Did he try to buy the whole store?
"Why is there so much crap?" He asks as he points to the cart.
"It's not crap." Sanji replies with an eye roll. "I got us some beach towels," he says as he shows the ones he picked out, Zoro's is green, not really shocking, Sanji's is blue and Megumi's is purple with green flowers. Megumi loves hers. He puts them back and continues, "I also got some beach chairs, toys," he motions to a plastic bucket and a plastic shovel with a plastic rake tied together, "beach umbrella, a small portable grill, sunglasses and flip flops for all of us." Zoro stared at him for a second.
"You forgot the sunscreen." Zoro says, he can't argue about the toys or beach towel but the umbrella and grill? That's too much. "And I don't think he need a portable grill. We could eat there. I'm sure they have stall and beach restaurants. Oh but we might need a beach blanket and forget the umbrella." Zoro says.
"First I am not letting Megumi ingest the crap they call food at those places. If I can make it myself she can eat it. Second, I want to take all this just in case we will need it, do you know how they have it? And third, nothing you say will change my mind." Sanji huffed. Zoro rolls his eyes.
"You are going overboard cook."
"Am not! Even if we didn't need this now we will one day right. It's not like we won't go to the beach again. This time might be with the school but next time won't." Sanji argues back. Zoro just pops his hip out and crosses his arms over his chest. Sanji made a good point. Sanji just stared at Zoro with his curly brow up. He never thought he would see Zoro do that.
"Fine." Zoro says. He takes Megumi's bathing suit and adds it to the cart. "We still need sunscreen and a beach blanket. Oh and I need to get my own swim trunks." Zoro says. Sanji nods.
"I do too." Sanji leads them to get the blanket and sunscreen before going to the adult male swimsuit area. It is a whole wall full of speedos and trunks, even full body suits. Sanji hurries and chooses his own trunks and adds it to the cart. Zoro just stands there staring. Looking at everything then starting from the top all over again.
Zoro did this for an hour. Megumi squatted down on the floor and looked at the things on the other side, she even started counting, starting over again when she reach one hundred, 'cause that's how far she could count. Sanji sat next to her on the floor leaning against the cart. He started to rub his temples. They've been here for what seems like a lifetime. Sanji stands up at glares at Zoro.
"Just hurry and choose one."
"I know but which one! I don't care about the design so which one to I just take. Why are there so many?" Zoro says looking at Sanji then back at the wall.
"Then I'll pick one." Sanji walks over to the wall.
"I'll help too!" Megumi shouts as she stands up but falls on her face after one step. Her legs fell asleep squatting like that for so long. After trying again she walked over to Sanji. They both stare before choosing one.
"This one." Megumi and Sanji say as they point to two different ones. They looked at the one the other choose.
"This one is camo green. It fits Zoro." Sanji says.
"But this one is white with blue waves at the bottom. It will stand out on mommy's skin." Megumi says.
"It doesn't really matter." Zoro inputs.
"Rock paper scissors." Megumi says as she holds out her balled up fist. Sanji agrees and bends down to her level and hold out his hand. They look at each other with a serious look in their eyes. "Rock, paper, scissors." They chant as they move their hands up and down at the same time.
"No!" Sanji wines as he looks at his open hand. He lost.
"Yay!" Megumi shouted and she jumped up and down. Her hand still in scissors.
"I lost." Sanji says bending on his hands and knees in defeat.
"You did." Zoro says going over to grab the one Megumi choose and adding it to the cart. Zoro walk forward to Sanji with the cart. Megumi jumped a head a little and started swirling and spinning in victory. Zoro leaned over Sanji, "I should have warned you not to. She's really good at it. She always win."
"Really?" Sanji looks at Zoro. Zoro nods.
"It's either she's lucky or she could read her opponents mind." Zoro says.
"She must be lucky because I changed my mind the last second." Sanji says standing up.
"Or she read your mind and changed it the last second too." Zoro says. They snicker at it but then Sanji wanted to test it. How lucky is their daughter? He knows Zoro is lucky. He's seen all though middle and high school. How much of that passed to their daughter?
Sanji regretted that.
He tried ten times. Each time she won. She was happy, she got some more toys and a new outfit. She even got a stuffed bear because she doesn't have enough apparently. Zoro stared at him shaking his head. "You should have stopped after number five."
"It's impossible to be that good at rock paper scissors. How?" Sanji asks. Zoro just shrugs. Their daughter is something else. Whether it be in her taste buds or her luck, she's one of a kind that's for sure. "By the way your buying everything in this cart." Zoro informs an already broken Sanji.
