The teacher had decided on volleyball to be the sport they are playing today. Sanji didn't like volleyball or any sport that requires him to use his hands, but Zoro loves those sport, just not at the moment. He also worried, what if they get separated into different groups? Zoro will not be able to handle that correctly. Doesn't know what will really happen but it can't be good.

Some of their classmate went to help the teacher set up the net and get the volleyballs. So a huge group of kids stood or sat in a group waiting. Again Sanji and Zoro isolated themselves from the majority. "It's so cold." one student gets out from their clattering teeth, holding themselves in a ball.

"Did we really have to have PE outside?" another students asks getting closer to their friend for warmth.

"It's because two classes are already using the gym room." A girl from a different penguin huddle answers.

Sanji held himself to warm his arms, his back rather warm thanks to Zoro's natural body heat. Sanji looked over to his boyfriend as he stood there like normal. He didn't know how, it's so cold his nipples are perking. He doesn't know how his boyfriend can stand there in nothing but a t- shirt and gym shorts. How can he not be cold? "Are you not cold?" Sanji asks, shivering.

"Are you?" Zoro asks back. Sanji nods, jumping from foot to foot like that would make a difference. Zoro does the unthinkable and engulfs the man on a hug. "Is that better?" He asks.

Sanji hugs Zoro back. "Much better," he answers, Zoro's body head warming him up easily. Plus he'd welcome every reason to hug Zoro in public. In front of the others. Zoro didn't seem to care.

When the net is set up the teacher tells them the groups. He and Zoro are put in the same group, along with Usopp, Luffy and Chopper. It's quiet, the only ones talking are Sanji and Zoro, only to each other. There is nothing too say to the others.

They wait their turn to play a game of volleyball. When they do its starts out slow then gets fun plus they warmed their bodies. They did well without having to talk to each other. Habits are hard to break. They are winning, not surprising in the least. But it is surprising when Zoro gets a ball to his face. "Zoro!" Sanji is by his side in the blink of an eye. Sanji helps Zoro sits up. "Are you okay?"

Zoro nods, "I bi' my tug," Zoro says, he sticks his tongue out, Sanji saw some blood and his tongue piercing really stood out on his pink and slightly red where he bit his tongue. Sanji covers his mouth and gets closer.

"Why do you have your piercing on?" he asks, whispering at Zoro.

"It's a waste not to." Zoro tells him, mumbled by a hand over his mouth.

"Try not to show other people your piercings?"

"Why?"

"Only I can see them."

"Right because you get jealous easily." Zoro says with a grin, remembering that fact.

"Maybe," Sanji says blushing.

"Alright let's hurry and finish the game." Zoro says wanting to win the game and stand on the side lines out of the eyes of others.

They finish the game fast enough. After they finish the game they sit down and stay away from the others.

When gym is over they take their showers. Zoro and Sanji last. With lunch next Zoro stayed with Sanji as the blonde got their lunch. They went back to music room, sure they are safe now that the others are leaving them alone. Zoro drank his small juice as they walked to the room. As he does that Sanji warns him that he wont have something to drink later. Zoro shrugs as they continue. He could always get another one. They sat in silence as they ate, happy to be alone.

But not for long. The others came in as they talk to each other. The couple both frown. They both wanted to be alone. Together. They ate in silence, as the others talked to each other. In their silence the blonde takes his phone out and starts reading. Zoro saw the screen and gets closer to the man. He gets excited. "You're reading A New Adventure." he points out with a smile.

"It's interesting." blonde says blushing. He's been interested in anime since he hung out with Zoro. He wanted to surprise the man once he caught up.

They ended up in a long conversation, a one sided talk with Zoro doing the most talking. The others stopped talking to see Zoro talking, that's the most anyone has ever seen him talk, to anyone. And it's with Sanji of all people.

Soon Zoro stops and gets up. His voice is getting dry from talking to long. Sanji watches him walk away and out of the room. Sanji continues to read as he wait.

Zoro walks to his favorite vending machine. Like always the hallway is empty. He smacks the vending machine and a can falls down. He's shocked to see it's his favorite mango juice that fell. They must have restocked it. Maybe it's when he was gone.

"Zoro." he turns around to find the man he never wants to see or thought he would see ever again.

Zoro doesn't answer as he walks away. He has nothing to say nor does he want to talk to the man. The man slams his hand in front of Zoro stopping him. Zoro turns to frown at him, the man vaulters for a second giving Zoro the chance to walk away from him. But he doesn't give up, he reaches forward and grabs into Zoro's wrist stopping him from walking. Zoro pulls his wrist but the man has an iron grip. He just won't let go. So he tries harder, again and again. He wants to get back to the music room, back to Sanji. It's all thanks to him that he's not alone and that he's having fun at school again.

"Zoro I want to get back together." he says shocking Zoro still. What did the man just say? He wants to... get back together. Why? They were never really together before. It was all a lie.

"Leave me alone Charles."
