Zeff looks over his shoulder, Sanji sat at their dinner table looking down at his phone. Well his crotch but he knew it's his phone he's really looking at. He's been like this for a few days now. He's always texting, takes a long time to get home to help and he's been a little distant. He's looks over at the clock. He should hurry and set up breakfast.

Sanji rushes out after breakfast to get to school.

He'll let the brat take a break from work for a while. He must really want to be with his girlfriend and he shouldn't deny him that. This was just the beginning of their relationship he should let them be together until he really needs his help. Not only was Halloween coming up but after that the restaurant gets swamped for Thanksgiving and Christmas that follows soon after. He might not see her for a while so he'll let him enjoy his time now. Hopefully she's understanding on his love for helping out the Baratie.

Sanji has gotten broken up a couple times because he loves the Baratie and would work here and they just didn't understand that.

Sanji sat in his seat at school looking down at his phone. It was after lunch and free period was about to end so with nothing to do he surfed the internet. He scrolled through his social media accounts just liking memes he found funny and looked at almost the whole schools past week updates. It was all the same 'sorry Zoro' crap or just posting how they got in trouble at school. He saw nothing from Luffy and the others. Actually, he hasn't seen anything for Zoro. Does the marimo even have an account?

With that thought in his head he searches up his boyfriends name. And true in marimo fashion, there are no results. None of his family has an account. Which doesn't make sense but makes sense at the same time. He knew that Zoro's family is not normal, they seem to be well off and this is Zoro's family, by definition they are not normal. But at the same time they are really out there with the twins bright pink hair to the older brothers white hair and Zoro's green hair so his sisters seem more like the ones to have social media accounts.

He sent Zoro a text, why don't you have a social media account? He asks curious.

It didn't take long for Zoro to reply, dad does't allow us too. Plus I'm not really interested in it. I don't need to see others people life, I should only care for the lives I'm apart of.

Woah. That was deep. But it made sense, right now all the feed is full with is boring stuff, people showing off how much trouble they're in or how little. Trying to make Zoro feel better not knowing he doesn't even have a profile so he wouldn't see it, not that he would care for it. I'll see you later, after school. He couldn't wait, it's one of the few times Zeff is letting him be free, but he knew it's because the grouchy old man wants him to have a life, enjoy his youth while he can.

Actually, I'm heading back to work today. This shocks Sanji, he somewhat forgot about Zoro working. I was about to tell you.

When do you start work, maybe I can drop you off?

I was going to head in early today to talk to my boss.

When do you get off? Maybe I can pick you up and drop you off at work? This was the best move. After how he found Zoro last time, he was a little worried.

I get off at 7:30, if you get here fast enough you can walk me, if you want. Sanji beams. He could help Zeff while he waits for Zoro to get off work. That and he was curious to where the marimo found a job.

I'll see you after school then. That was the last text he sent. And now he couldn't wait for the last classes to hurry along. The end of school just couldn't come fast enough.

He was getting through the second to last class when one of the counselors came into the class and called for him. He wasn't worried, he hasn't done anything wrong, he was curious. What could they want from him?

When he walk in the room, he was told to sit down on the couch so he did. A few minutes pass and Sengoku walks in and sits across from him. This couldn't have been anymore weird. He wasn't feeling intimidated so his suspicion about not being in trouble is correct but now he was afraid for a different reason, when teachers are nice all of a sudden is always scary.

Sengoku clears his throat, "you're not in trouble." Sanji slowly nods, yeah got that. "I called you here to ask you for help." This peaked the cooks interest.

"Help? With what?" Sanji asks with a head tilt.

"Roronoa Zoro."

"What about him, he hasn't been at school in almost two months?" the blonde wonders.

"That's the problem." The counselor came up to talk. "Since he hasn't been to school we have to count it, and we have but after missing school with no excuse for so long we have to report it and call the parent but..." She looks at Sengoku.

"We haven't told Mihawk and I don't want too talk to him about it. He's a scary man." Understandable, he really is scary looking, it's the air around him. "We thought Zoro would come back to school after things settled and calmed down, especially after being vindicated. It's apparent that that's not the case." Sengoku says.

"We know you've been helping get Zoro's school work to him, we were wondering if you could try to convince to come to school. We don't want to deal with his father's actions after learning that his son hasn't been coming to school." The counselor says scared.

"But what if I can't? I haven't talked to him about coming to school, I don't think he wants to." Sanji saw the way their faces pale after hearing that. Is Zoro's father that scary? But why? He's just... what does Zoro's father do?

"Just try. If you can't get him to come in before winter break then tell us." The counselor tells him.

"Um... is that all?" Sanji asks after no one talks for a few minutes.

"Yes." The counselor nods.

"You can leave now." Sengoku practically kicks him out of his office, which Sanji has been in there way to much in the past few months, especially for it being his last year.
