Sanji gives Zoro a smile he's never shown the marimo before. But he saw that the green haired man still has worries. "You don't look happy." Zoro's eyes look to the side to avoid looking at Sanji.

"Are you ok, with all that I did? I was a toy, a sex doll. I've been used, tainted. I should-" Sanji covers Zoro's mouth before he said anything more.

"You did all that for your dream. That has nothing do with why I love you. Plus you stopped doing that. What happened today wasn't your fault. You're not tainted, if you are then so am I." Sanji saw the hurt expression so he continues to explain. "I've had sex before I did it with you and if having sex means your tainted then I am too. And so are others. Every adult who has kids. And you're not a sex doll either, sex dolls just take it but you fought back. You stopped it. I don't know why you think that but stop, before I kick your ass." Sanji challenged knowing Zoro he'll push back. But Zoro did the unexpected, instead of his regular comment 'you can try' the marimo gave him a smile. He hadn't seen Zoro with one in what seemed like forever.

His body moved on it's own and he gave Zoro a quick peck on the lips. It was more innocent than anything else, like one a child would give but Zoro still liked it and a blush still went on his cheeks and across the bridge of his nose. He was stunned but then his body started moving and he didn't process it until he had already grabbed Sanji's cheeks and pulled him in for a more deep kiss. Kissing the cook and slipping his tongue in when he got the chance. Sanji is surprised no question asked.

He didn't think Zoro would do that, not yet. Even going as far as slipping his tongue in. Sanji couldn't not do anything so he kissed back. Showing Zoro his skills. He didn't know that kissing Zoro would be such a high. The warmth of his mouth, how he tasted good or the fact that his lips fit so perfectly with his own. He could get addicted to this with the little moans Zoro gave when he felt good.

When they both separated they were panting and faces were flushed. "Zoro please tell me that was your answer because I don't think I could handle a tease like that more than once." Zoro goes for another kiss.

"It wasn't a tease."

"Really?" Sanji's starts to smile with hope and when he sees the marimo nod he is so happy. And he showed it. Sanji smiled like a child on Christmas and Zoro couldn't help but smile too. He goes in to kiss Sanji again but he recoiled before the marimos lips met his. "Sorry marimo but I've never kissed someone like that with a tongue piercing, if we do that again I'll get hard. I don't want that to happen. I plan to take things at a normal or slow pace with you."

"Pervert." Zoro muttered but he understood. He didn't want to rush into anything either. He didn't want sex to be the whole foundation of their relationship (ironic considering how it kind of start after three years) he wanted to understand Sanji and vice versa. They'll just be together until they're ready for sex, both of them.

"Sorry if I don't want to jack off in the bathroom at the moment. I want to be with you." Sanji explains not missing the blush and bashful look on Zoro's face as he nods.

The newly found couple moves around to Sanji is spooning Zoro. Lights turned off and getting ready to sleep. God knows they both need it. "How come you were there at the ally?" Zoro asks.

"I was walking around. I've been thinking of you way too much so I went out for a walk to clear my head, being a little to distracted at the restaurant. I was walking down the street when I saw you, I wanted to talk to you so I went after you. Now my turn for questions, how come you haven't been doing any of the work I gave you?" He felt Zoro's' body flinch at that.

"I don't understand anything that was there so I just forgot about it." Zoro says a little sheepishly.

"Then I'll help you. Oh and what was in that backpack, it was heavy."

"B-book." Zoro mutters

"What type of books?"

"J-just books."

"Why are you being so vague is it something bad?" Sanji asks intrigued. Zoro can't lie if his life depended on it so why was he not telling him?

"No! It's just really geeky. It's not a secret but it's embarrassing. I know you'll laugh." Zoro hides his face in the pillow, not that the blonde can see anyway.

"Fine, whatever the books are about I know you wont keep them hidden long." Sanji says and Zoro could hear him take a deep exhale. "Oh and Zoro I haven't talked to Zeff about my feeling towards you. How do you think he'll react?"

"Besides bash your head into the floor?"

"I don't know. We never really talked about me sexual orientation. I've just assumed I'm straight and would never fall in love with a guy, but here I am in love with you and spooning you. How did you tell your father?" Zoro would have looked at Sanji and raised his eyebrow if he wasn't content with the position they were in.

"You know how it happened. My father walked in on us."

"I know but after?" Sanji wonders after rolling his eyes.

"Well, my father left after he saw us, I checked the whole house after we finished, most likely to the office before coming back. I never got that he was homophobic, at least he never gave those vibes as I grew up but all my siblings always told me to keep it a secret going so when he caught us I called my brother and sisters. Told them that dad had caught me with someone. They got home after dad but I know they tried to come as fast as they could. By the time they got here he was yelling at me, extremely mad, for what I don't know. Being with a man or doing it at home. He told me to back my stuff and leave by the time the others got here. Perona got mad at dad and starting shouting back at him and she let it out that she is a lesbian. Since she already lived far from home she didn't really have to fear being kicked out or anything. He was shocked but didn't really show it, we could always just tell." Zoro shrugs like it's no big deal. "He started asking more questions, asking if that's why she always rejected the suitors dad picked out, asked why she hadn't told him if that's the case. She told him that she didn't want to get the same treatment he was giving me, even let slip that there was someone she had her eye on. After a long break of silence Smoker walked in and told dad that he was bi, he didn't really need too. But he did. I guess dad came to the conclusion that he didn't really know us anymore. We sat down and talked. Dad was still upset with me though, told me to get a job which I did." Zoro says sounding very proud of himself.

"That must have made him a little more protective, especially with the way he looked when you were brought home sick."

"How did you know?"

"They didn't tell you?"

"Tell me what?"

"They came to the school because you were missing. I helped and found you. I carried you back, with Bonney. She told me a little more about you."

"Like what?" Zoro asks worried about what his sister might have said.

"Your twin sister Kuina and your mother. How you found them." Zoro became quiet after that. Sanji knew that it was unfair that he knew so much about the mosshead but didn't know anything in return. He changed that and decided to tell Zoro what it was like as a child, about his mother, about his sibling, just everything about him being a Vinsmoke. Even how Zeff adopted him after his escape with the help of his sister.
