It was dark. Soft snores could be heard throughout the cabin. The gentle rocking of the ship and the soft tight grip of the hammock around him was the most soothing feeling he could imagine. Like being cradled and rocked to sleep by a loved one. He closed his eyes again and began to drift back into slumber.

Footsteps? He opened his eyes again trying to adjust to the pitch blackness around him.

"It wouldn't be Robin coming down here. She took the night watch." He thought to himself. "Then who the hell is still awake this late?"

He heard the knob. It turned and the door opened so quietly. The smallest flicker of light came through. It was the flicker of a lighter. The smell of smoke drifted through the room and the door shut just as quietly as it had opened.

"Sanji. So it's that shit cook still awake." Zoro thought to himself.

He closed his eyes again not wanting to draw attention to the fact he to was awake. He heard an exhale of smoke and the fumbling of shoes being removed. Then nothing. Silence fell over the cabin once more. His curiosity sparked and he fought the incredible urge to open his eyes and see what the cook was doing.

"Was this going to be like the last few nights?" He thought, thinking back to the first time he was aware of Sanji's presence. He was lyeing in his hammock finding it hard to fall asleep. It was the same as now. The footsteps, smell of smoke, the door closing gently. He continued to fane sleep. He knew it was Sanji from the smell of cigarettes piercing his nose. He felt the presence of a body near his. He hadn't heard the cook move at all after the door shut but he was sure that Sanji was within a foot of him now. His first thought was the cook must be mad about something stupid. He layed like stone expecting to get kicked out his hammock. Nothing happened. From what he could sense, Sanji was just standing there, watching him through the darkness. After about 30 minutes of this he heard footsteps move away towards the empty hammock across the room. "That was weird…" he thought. He heard Sanji climb into his hammock and it became quiet again. A few moments later he thought he heard a noise. Then again another. Heavy breathing. A forced quiet moan deep in Sanji's throat. "What the hell?" he thought. "Is he doing what I think he is!?!" Zoro listened intently to confirm his suspicion. Another low moan. More heavy breaths escaped the blondes mouth. He could tell Sanji was trying very hard to keep as quiet as possible. Sanji's breathing sped. In a last breathless quiet moan of his orgasm he whispered Zoro's name to himself. Zoro's eyes opened to the blackness of the room. Without realizing it before, he now noticed how heated his body had become. He focused on his breathing to keep it slow and steady like he was still asleep. "Gods what was that? Was he really thinking of me just now?? Why, I thought that shit cook hated my guts???" He waited until he was absolutely sure Sanji had fallen asleep to sneak out of the room.

That was exactly one week ago.

Now the same scenario was playing out again, just like all the nights before. Zoro could feel the light flickering from the lighter, dancing just beyond his eyelids. This was slightly different. By now Sanji would be in the dark staring in his direction. The light stayed. Suddenly he could feel Sanji much closer than normal. Like he was crouching to better see him. He didn't dare open his eyes and put them both in an awkward situation. Plus if Sanji knew he had been awake all these nights listening to the other male pleasure himself, he worried that it would all stop.

He was pulled from his train of thought by the gentle touch of nimble fingers in his hair. His breath hitched involuntarily. The fingers stopped. Zoro took control of his breathing. Slow and steady. After a moment he felt Sanji's fingers caressing his hair again. Very slow and very gentle. This was the first time Sanji dare touch him like this. Probably for fear of waking him. But Sanji didn't know that he had been awake all this time anyway. He didn't want this to stop. He didn't want Sanji to stop but knew eventually the blonde would and retreat to his own hammock. Zoro felt his body heating up again. He realized Sanji must have noticed the red hue dusting his cheeks because once again those nimble fingers stopped moving. He heard a 'click' and the glimmer of light through his eyelids vanished.

A barley audible whisper of "Goodnight Zoro." Left Sanji's lips. He felt Sanji pulling his hand away from his hair. Without thinking his hand shot up and grabbed the cooks wrist.

"Shit. What am I doing?" Zoro thought to himself.

He could tell even through his closed eyes that Sanji was surprised and wide eyed with shock. He didn't move and neither did Sanji. The minute that passed felt like eternity.

Finally Zoro dared to open his eyes. A small glint of moonlight shone through the porthole window. His eyes adjusted and he could see the shocked look on Sanji's face. He still held his wrist tight. Nothing but the their breathing and the gentle snores of the other crew could be heard. They stared at one another for long time before Sanji broke the silence.

"Zoro?" he whispered.

Zoro, still holding tight to Sanji's wrist, propped himself up on his other arms elbow.

"Sanji…" Zoro said his name so delicately.

Sanji swallowed hard never breaking eye contact.

YANK!!!

In a blink Zoro pulled Sanji down by his wrist. His other hand slid up and grasped the side of Sanji's head. He pulled the blonde into a kiss, Sanji still wide eyed at the sudden change of atmosphere. He dropped his lighter. The kiss was nervous and unsure at first. Sanji relaxed into Zoro's lips and the kiss deepened. Zoro let go of Sanji's wrist and Sanji brought his hand up to Zoro's cheek. They stayed like that until air was required and the slowly pulled away.

"I thought you were sleeping" Sanji whispered.

"Nah, I haven't been able to sleep."

"How long were you awake?"

Zoro blushed a deep red. "The whole time… this… this whole last week…" he stuttered out quietly.

Sanji's blush deepened even more.

"I could hear you every night. So I've been waiting" Zoro confessed.

Sanji was dumbstruck. He thought he'd been so careful and he thought he'd been sure Zoro was asleep!!! He felt his body heat with embarrassment. He forced his eyes to the ground.

"So now what?" he managed to choke out. He kept his eyes glued to the ground. Silence.

Suddenly he felt a hand on his shirt collar and a strong force was heaving him up into the hammock. Sanji was now straddling Zoro in his hammock. Zoro wasted no time and began undoing the button's on Sanji's shirt. The last button was undone and he slid the fabric off of Sanji's shoulders. Sanji let his shirt drop off of him. He looked down at Zoro with hungry eyes and let his hands wander the swordsman's clothed chest. Zoro ran his hands up Sanji's toned abdomen, stopping when he reached the small pink nubs. He ran his thumbs in a circular motion around them. Sanji covered his mouth with his hand to force back a moan that so badly wanted out. Zoro then pinched the sensitive bits of flesh causing Sanji's body to jolt forward and rock the hammock. Sanji dug his hands into Zoro's shirt and bit his lip hard trying not to make a sound.

They both stopped for a moment to listen. Everything was still quiet. The other male crew members were still asleep. Zoro decided in a change of pace and expertly flipped them over so that Sanji was now in the hammock and Zoro above him. Sanji had to fight back a yelp at the sudden change.

"How did you do that without tipping us out the hammock?" Sanji whispered.

He was met with smug smirk. Zoro arched himself up and pulled his shirt over his head, then discarding it to the floor.

Sanji took it all in. Zoro's muscular body above him accented by the moonlight. The heat in his body was rising uncontrollably as he let his hands roam the swordsman's chest. Zoro watching his every movement with eyes that pierced straight to his very soul.

"Like what you see?" Zoro smirked.

"Shut up, damn mosshead!" Sanji huffed. He let his hands slide down to Zoro's waistband and rested them at the button. He looked up at Zoro. Zoro nodded and Sanji undid the button. He slowly pulled down the zipper getting an amusing impatient look from his lover. He pulled them down as far as he could in the position they were in. Sanji traced a finger up the impressive length still cover by plain white briefs. Zoros body shook at the touch. Sanji grabbed the waistband and pulled it down letting Zoro's member spring free. His mouth went dry. Zoro's member was incredibly thick. His size amazed Sanji as he stared at it.

Zoro grew impatient. He snapped Sanji out of his trance by grinding his freed manhood on Sanji's clothed neglected one. Sanji fought back another moan. Realizing how his own manhood ached he reached for his belt. He impatiently began undoing it when Zoro moved his hands away. Sanji scowled up at Zoro and was rewarded with another grinding motion.

"Ah hah Zoro!" Sanji choked out.

"Shhh. You don't want anyone to wake up." Zoro whispered.

He undid Sanji's belt and unsnapped the button. He pulled the zipper down and began sliding his pants off. "Lift your hips". Sanji obeyed and lifted himself slightly so Zoro could pull off his pants completely. They hit the floor with the rest of the disguarded clothing. Zoro examined Sanji's naked body beneath him. Sanji's thin but muscular frame also supported an impressive manhood. He drank in all of Sanji's moonlit perfection. He brought a hand down to Sanji's. He led the blondes hand to his member, flinching at touch. His other hand took Sanji's manhood. He leaned forward touching them together and wrapping his hands around both their members. Sanji got the idea and did the same, wrapping his hand around their sensitive heads.

"Fuck! Sanji!" he gasp quietly.

Their hands worked in a steady rhythm. Working together in synch with one another. Heavy breath and choked backed gasps, their speed increased. Sanji rubbed his thumb over the slits, mixing their precum together. Gripping their friction and shuddering uncontrollably they reached a blinding orgasm together. Sanji moaned out and Zoro quickly used his free hand to cover the cooks mouth while still riding though the amazing pleasure. Cum shot out, mixing and decorating their stomaches. Zoro leaned forward still covering Sanji's mouth he slowly released him.

More heavy breathing.

Lazy eyes opened half lidded to look up at the swordsman. He smiled watching the beads of sweat pool on Zoro's forehead. Zoro leaned down and kissed him hungrily. His tongue swiped at Sanji's bottom lip desperately wanting access. Sanji obliged. Their tongues swirled together, fighting, tasting, hungry for more of each other. They let their hands move away from their still half hard members. Zoro closing the distance and letting his weight fall on Sanji. Zoro broke there intense kiss for air. Both men breathing in deeply.

"Sanji…"

"Yea?"

"Do you want to keep going ?"

Sanji blushed at the thought. His slick manhood twitching in between them.

"Is that a yes?" Zoro smirked.

Sanji pulled him in for another kiss and grinding his now hard again manhood upward. Zoro's body responded by grinding them together again. Sanji pulled away from the kiss and made his way toward the swordsman's ear, leaving A trail of butterfly kisses. "Fuck me Zoro."

Zoro's teeth ground together and a smirk again crossed his lips. He pushed himself up. He took hold of Sanji's hard member receiving another lovely gasp. He swiped up some of their shared mess onto his fingers. His other hand slid under the cook to cradle and lift his ass. He propped Sanji's ass up on his knees and slid his coated fingers down to the cooks entrance. Zoro circled it with his middle finger while Sanji squirmed at the touch.

"Ready?"

"Yes!" Sanji whispered arching his back.

Zoro slid his middle finger in past the tight ring of muscle. Sanji bit his lower lip. He rocked on the finger bring his hand to mouth to keep quiet. Zoro moved in time with Sanji's rocking, hooking his finger upward trying to find a specific spot. His finger brushed the bundle of nerves.

"Fuuuu!!!" Sanjis muffled cry escaped though his hand.

Zoro added a second finger. More thrusts at Sanji's sweet spot and he added a third. Sanji's hand left his mouth to join his other tightly gripping the sides of Zoro's hammock.

"MMMHH! Enough!! I'm ready" Sanji tried to say in a whisper. But it was obvious he was loosing control of his volume. Zoro removed his fingers. He lined his throbbing manhood up to Sanji's tight hole. Sanji pulled Zoro in for a kiss. As soon as their lips touched Zoro thrust in, fully seating himself inside the cook. He pressed his mouth tightly to Sanji's greedly taking in his uncontrolled moan. Sanji gripped Zoro's strong shoulders and dug his nails in signaling him to move. Zoro obliged, pulling out until just the head of his cock remained. He thrust back in hard getting another moan into his hungry mouth. He released Sanji's mouth trailing kisses down his chin.

"Moooorree!!!" Sanji moaned.

Zoro's thrusting reached a perfect rhythm between the two. He realized the cooks self control was breaking as he came closer to another insane orgasm. Zoro released his grip on the hammock and let his chest come to rest on the cooks. Never faltering his thrusts he covered Sanji's mouth with a tight grip. They were both close to release. Sanji clenched his eyes shut and bucked his hips under Zoro. All control was gone and moaned wildly into the swordsman's hand. He didn't care at that moment if he woke the whole damn ship.

" So sexy, love cook." Zoro whispered under his breath.

"Mmmmmmmm" was all Sanji could muster under Zoro's hand.

Zoro's thrusts waivered slightly signaling how close he was. His thrusts became harder, faster. Sanji's eyes shot open and he bucked his hips hard into Zoro. Stars exploded in front of his eyes and his hot thick cum shot out between there grinding bodies. His muscles gripped Zoro's cock spasming and forcing an equally earth shattering orgasm from the swordsman. Their bodies shuddered and twitched both riding out their orgasms and rocking the hammock.

Zoro let his full weight fall on Sanji and he removed his hand. They were both struggling to catch their breaths. A few minutes passed of heavy breathing until their heart rates slowed and it became easier to breathe normally. They stayed this way quiet and content in one another's company. It became so quiet that a pin could have been heard dropping. Zoro pulled himself up to look down at Sanji's reddened face. Realization washed over them both as they began to realize they probably woke everyone. Neither moved. Just content to watch each other and wait for the consequences of waking everyone in such a manner.

Nothing. Then a loud snore from Ussop's hammock carried out though the cabin. Did they really not wake the others. More snoring. They both sighed in relief and Zoro got up out the hammock. He helped Sanji up and pulled him into another kiss.

"Shower?" Zoro whispered.

"Yea"

The two grabbed for their clothes and quietly left the cabin. Shutting the door behind them. They snickered fighting back laughter as they made there way down the hall towards the showers.

The cabin was silent again.

Sweat pooled on Ussop's brow. He let a loud sigh escape his lips.

"You guys awake?" he asked.

A collective "Yeah" rang out through the room.

"What the hell was that?" Franky asked in a flustered voice.

"I didn't want to make it more awkward so I faked being asleep." Ussop confessed.

They all sighed in relief.

Then a giggle could be heard coming from the Captain's hammock. The crew heard Luffy's bare feet hit the floor of the cabin. They all turned their attention to try and see him in the dark.

"Luffy?" Ussop said.

Still giggling Luffy made his way out the cabin.

"Is he going to pick on them… or join them?" Franky asked.

"Don't know, don't care. I just want to forget this ever happened and go back to sleep!" Ussop stated rolling over.

Or is it… … …
