Zoro was never one to back down, or shy away. If he wanted answers from the blond he was going to get them, and he's going to get them now.

He finished the sigil on the ground and stood in the middle. "I summon you Sanji" he made the curl of Sanji's eyebrow in the air.

As soon as the succubus appeared he was glaring at Zoro, "I hate being summoned, I'm not a damn dog!" Sanji looked down and seeing sigil he looked stunned, "Did you just trap me?" Sanji gave Zoro a nasty scowl, "What the fuck!?"

"We need to talk."

"Do you typically trap people you want to talk to?"

Zoro shrugged, "If I think they'll run."

"I don't run away from anything, you shit-swordsman"

"Good, this should be fast in that case."

Sanji sighed, "Better be, I can't conjure up a cigarette in here."

"I don't want to break the contract." Zoro lets it out bluntly.

Whatever the demon was expecting it obviously wasn't that. "What do you mean?"

"I mean what I said, I want to keep our contract."

"Well you can't shit-head, I don't want it."

"Why?" Zoro looked into those enchantingly beautiful eyes, "Luffy is under the impression that you… don't dislike me."

"Luffy? What the hell Marimo? When did you talk to Luffy?"

"Earlier today, now tell me why you want to break it?"

"I'm straight."

Did he really have to keep reminding him of that? "So? You've had no issue feeding from me." Sanji didn't answer, "So tell me why you want to break the contract."

Sanji looked away, "I really hate you."

Those words hurt more than the swordsman wished to admit. "No you don't."

"No" Sanji wouldn't look at him, "I don't."

Zoro smirked, "So tell me why."

"You wouldn't understand." Sanji pushed his hands deep in his blazers pockets.

"So explain."

Sanji still wouldn't look at him, "I need a smoke."

"You can after our conversation."

"Well, why do you want to keep it?"

Zoro sighed heavily, "Answer me first and I'll answer you."

"Look" Sanji finally looked at him, "Either we break the contract or one of two scenarios will play out, and both of them are shit."

"What are those?"

"I'm stuck with you for life if we don't break the contract which means if you die, I can't eat ever again. The other option would be to turn you into a demon, which you despise, so I could keep feeding from you forever." Sanji sighed, his fingers going for a cigarette he didn't have, "I know how little you think of my kind, but I'm not going to force you to become a demon. I don't want to… I can't go without food, Marimo. I just can't. We have to cancel our contract."

"I won't let you starve. I promise, and I never break a promise."

Sanji nodded, "So, we're back on the same page."

Zoro crosses his arms, "No we aren't, you shitty curly eyebrowed succubus."

"We have to!"

"I don't have to do shit. I still don't want to break our contract."

"Why?"

"I like what we have going on."

"I'm a succubus Zoro." He wasn't expecting Sanji to suddenly sound so serious, "Whatever you think you like about me is just the lust speaking."

"And what about you?"

"You've made it clear you don't think demons have feelings or emotions."

"Damnit Sanji! I'm trying to sort this out with you!"

"What do you think now?" Sanji challenged.

"I don't want to lose you…" now Zoro couldn't keep eye contact, "We can keep exchanging meals the way we are now. If you ever change your mind on how you want to eat, I would be down for whatever."

Zoro really wanted to face-palm himself for how stupid that sounded.

"Oh, I see what's happening here. Zoro, I'm a succubus, I'm designed to make you like me. I piss you off constantly. Whatever you think you're feeling, you're not."

"Don't tell me how I feel!"

"All you want is sex right?"

"No!" Zoro glared harshly at the demon.

"Of course you do, moron. You just have succubus spit in your system. It messes with people's hormones! You hate me!"

"It's not dammit! Stop putting words in my mouth!"

Sanji shook his head, looking like he was talking to a stupid child, "Okay, no more kissing."

"What?" There was no way this conversation was going this wrong, was it?

"Once my saliva is out of your system you'll feel better."

"Hormones have nothing to do with this!"

"You don't like me, Zoro!"

"Yeah? And what makes you so sure!?"

"Because I'm an unlovable failure!" Sanji screamed, completely losing his composure.

Zoro stared at Sanji as the demon tried to catch his breath, "How can you say that?" Sanji didn't answer.

"It was just a slip of the tongue, just wait until my succubus saliva is out of your system."

"How long would that take?" Zoro grumbled.

"A few days, and it will be like this never happened. We can cancel the contract and everything will go back to the way it was."

"In a few days I want to have this conversation again. I don't want to break this contract."

"That's the thing, Marimo. You will."

Zoro broke the sigil and Sanji instantly disappeared, leaving Zoro to stand there in frustration as his heart ached in his chest.
