This is my first sex scene in the story. I hope it's okay. I tried to make it more romantic than just fucking. Anyways, I hope you enjoy~
Zoro was on watch that night, and Luffy stayed up with him. Luffy was rarely on watch by herself because of the fact she couldn't alert everyone in a moment thanks to her perpetual silence. She usually shared with someone. She had great eyesight, so if she saw something, her partner would be the one to shout.
They both sat in the crowsnest, looking at the stars. Zoro looked to Luffy and how beautiful she was in the moonlight. Well, she was beautiful all the time to him, but she looked like a goddess to him right now. He knew it was cheesy to think of it like that, but that was what came to his mind first. She noticed him looking at her and smiled.
What's wrong? She asked on the wood. They had a little lantern up there with them so he could see her writings.
"Just thinking about how beautiful you are," Zoro said simply, not at all embarrassed. Luffy had been on the ship for three and a half months. She smiled at him.
You're pretty good looking yourself, she wrote, standing up and walking the short distance to him, sitting in his lap, chest to chest. She gave him a kiss and then wrapped her arms around him. Zoro ran his large hands up and down Luffy's back, knowing she liked him doing this. He bent down and kissed the space between her shoulder and neck.
Soon the kiss turned into sucking, leaving her little hickeys. She sighed, also liking when he did this. Suddenly, Zoro wanted to roam his hands all around her. Everywhere he could reach in this position, but he banished those thoughts with a red face. He didn't know how Luffy would respond to things like that, and it wasn't like they were in a super romantic place. He stopped his hands wanting to touch her and just held her with both of his hands touching.
Luffy wanted to take Zoro's shirt off right then and run her hands across his bare skin. But they never really did that, even in heated makeout sessions. She wondered why, and if he'd want to do that with her.
Sometimes, she'd have very graphic dreams about them together, and it always woke her up uncomfortably, since she just wanted to sleep and those dreams carried on for the rest of the day, making her want to just rip off all of his clothes in a second.
They were intimate, but it was usually only kissing and mild groping with clothes on. She didn't like these thoughts because she felt dirty afterwards. As if Zoro would want to touch her very non-human body. She knew she was very different from human women, and sometimes, sometimes, it made her feel inferior. She had no boobs like human women did, and she wasn't curvy at all, like most human women were.
Was she different… down there, as well? She knew that sex probably worked the same for humans and nymphs, since Zoro was able to get an erection, which nymph males could. And she knew she had a period, like human women, but did that mean she was necessarily the same as them? Was it the same where it counts?
As Zoro began running his fingers down her back and neck, she couldn't help but fall asleep. Zoro could tell she'd fallen asleep because she went completely limp against him. The rest of their watch, he ran his fingers up and down her spine to keep her asleep.
When it was Usopp's turn, Luffy was coherent enough to hold onto Zoro's back as he climbed down to the deck and to their room. He set Luffy down on the bed, and changed into his T-shirt and baggy pants as pyjamas. Luffy'd have to stay in her day dress, but there really wasn't much of a difference between that and her night dress.
He crawled under the blankets next to her after locking the chain on the door. He pulled her closer to him gently and wrapped his arms around her. She didn't move at all, all night. She just stayed asleep in his arms. And he had the most peaceful night since the stabbing, which had been a little over a week ago.
No one had said anything more about it. Not even Sanji.
-x-
The next day, Zoro paced in front of the hatch to the girl's room, trying to prepare himself for the horrible embarrassment he was about to suffer, but he had to ask. If they did do it, he didn't want to just wing it.
Luffy was still asleep in their bedroom.
When the hatch opened and Robin and Nami came out, both dressed and Robin carrying a book, he stood up and startled the two women. He wasted no time.
"Robin, I gotta talk to you," he said, trying and failing at not sounding uncomfortable. "Nami, you are not allowed to listen." Nami looked at him curiously. Oh well, she'd just have Robin tell her later.
"Alright. See you later, Robin," Nami said, grinning at the woman, having an idea about what Zoro was going to talk to her about. She snickered as she left the storage room.
"What would you like to talk about?"she asked. "We can go down the stairs if you want complete privacy," she offered, and Zoro nodded. After Robin sat on her bed and Zoro sat on Luffy's old one, Zoro bit his lip for a minute, before summoning the courage.
"How does sex work for a woman?" his face was bright red. Robin smiled. She had a feeling that this was what he wanted to talk about.
"Well, I'm sure you know how it works. Do you mean you want to know how to do it correctly?" she asked simply, trying to not make him uncomfortable. This was important. Zoro nodded awkwardly.
Robin then drew the most embarrassing diagram Zoro had ever seen. It was anatomy and it made him very uncomfortable. She showed him about each part, and how it worked. Then she gave him tips about how things worked for a human woman, and what would be good to do and not to do.
Then at the end, Zoro's face bright red and somewhat sweaty, she told him that Luffy might not be the same as what she showed him. And that if she isn't, then he should make sure to be understanding and not show disappointment. Zoro was a bit irritated with this. Of course he wouldn't do that. He thanked her and rushed out of the room, completely horrified at the conversation he'd just had. But he kept telling himself that it was necessary, and if anyone knew how it worked, it'd be the oldest member of the crew.
Luffy was sitting at the table in the galley, waiting for food to be ready. When Zoro walked in and sat down next to her, she asked where he'd been. Sanji froze for a second after Zoro replied that he had to talk to Robin about something. Then he went back to his cooking.
Why?
"It's nothing. I just had a question and she talked about it longer than I'd expected," he lied.
"What was the question?" Sanji asked, his back to the table. Zoro scowled.
"None of your business," Zoro said harshly. Luffy frowned at him. No fighting at breakfast, she wrote on the table. Zoro sighed and agreed, earning a bright smile. Thanks for taking me to bed last night. Sorry I fell asleep.
"You're welcome. Besides, you're always cute when you sleep, so I don't mind."
Cute when asleep and beautiful when awake? She wrote, remembering what Zoro had said last night.
"Exactly." Luffy smiled again. "What's for breakfast?"
Pancakes!
"We just had that, didn't we?"
But I wanted it again. I like pancakes and he always makes a lot for me.
"Cause you're a lady," Zoro said, sounding like he was mocking Sanji, who huffed while he cooked. Luffy frowned. "Okay, okay, I'm sorry," Zoro said to Luffy. Then Nami walked in with Robin. Zoro looked away from the captain, who was smiling at him. And so was Nami!
"Did you tell her?!" Zoro hissed at Robin.
"Maybe," she said and that was the end of it since she opened her book to read while Nami continued to give him a knowing and smug expression. Luffy wondered what that interaction was about, but didn't ask. She was distracted by the large platter of pancakes set in the middle of the table. Usopp and Chopper came running in to eat and then everyone was at the table, Chopper sitting on the stool at the end.
The day was very long for Zoro. Luffy tried to get him to tell her what was wrong, but he kept saying nothing was wrong. Which was true. There was nothing wrong. He was just horribly nervous about asking her. What if she said no? His stoic self-esteem was teetering a bit.
He was going to ask her tonight. If she said no, then things will just be awkward for a little while. But that's the worst that could happen; if she says no.
Zoro stayed with Luffy all day, like he usually did, but this time, he constantly was touching her. Holding her hand or her clinging to his back. In some way, they were always touching. Luffy didn't know why he was doing this, but it was nice anyways. She was usually the one touching him more, but today was different for some reason.
After dinner, when everyone was going to bed, Zoro's face was red and Robin winked at him, as if saying "good luck".
Luffy changed into her sleeping clothes behind a curtain she'd made, and came out to see him sitting on the bed, looking nervous. She wondered what was wrong. He was also fully clothed. Hadn't even taken off his boots. The nymph furrowed her brows. Are you okay? He nodded.
"I have to ask you something…" Zoro said with a swallow. "I was thinking… all day about what I, em, was talking to Robin about…"
Yes. I will. Luffy wrote with an excited smile. I was clear to her then what he'd be asking her after being perpetually nervous and clingy all day.
"Huh?" Zoro asked.
You don't have to be the one to ask if you don't want to.
"You knew! How did you know?!" he asked, finally understanding that she'd known what he was thinking. She made the first move, again! Well, Zoro wasn't going to be beat. He wrapped his arm around her waist and yanked her down on the bed playfully. "Are you sure?"
Wait, she wrote quickly, making Zoro nervous. Had she changed her mind? But she stood up and grinned at him as she created a block of concrete that covered the entire wall, making sure no one could get through even if they tried.
She flopped back down on the bed. He asked again, and Luffy nodded, looking a little nervous now, while Zoro didn't. He crawled on top of her, just his waist up covered almost her whole body. He wondered how this would go. If her body was different down there.
It was as if Luffy read his thoughts that she grew uncertain. She tried pushing the thoughts away, but as Zoro started kissing her neck and sucking at it, she became more uneasy. Zoro felt her swallow, and guessed she was nervous, for multiple reasons probably.
"You okay?" he asked, touching her cheek with his thumb. Luffy nodded. Zoro gave her a look saying he knew she was lying. She created her board and pen and wrote I don't know if I have human parts… Her face was a bright shade of red. Zoro smiled down at her.
"What is… sex like for nymphs?" he asked calmly, trying to make her feel more comfortable, and know even if it wasn't the same, he wouldn't be upset or disappointed. Luffy then made a crude hand gesture showing penetration. He chucked.
"Can I ask what your parts are called?" Zoro asked, now feeling awkward. He really wanted Luffy to enjoy this. He didn't want things to get uncomfortable.
Vagina, Luffy wrote awkwardly. Zoro sighed in relief.
"That's what human women have," he assured her. Luffy grinned, thoroughly relieved. She was feeling extremely zingy and tingly at her nether regions.
Zoro went back to sucking on her neck, and hands running down her body, tracing how her body felt under her loose dress. She was very, very slightly curvy, but nowhere near as curvy as the other women on the crew. But he didn't care. Luffy was original and unique. She didn't have giant breasts, and that wasn't a problem. Zoro actually didn't like how Nami and Robin would show so much cleavage that their boobs looked like they'd pop out. He felt it was quite unnecessary.
Zoro left Luffy's neck and started to slide Luffy's dress up her body slowly, maintaining eye contact with her the whole time. He was going to pay attention to her body language and facial movements as best as he could since she could not verbally tell him what she didn't like or when to stop if she became uncomfortable.
She just looked up at him with wide eyes, biting her lip nervously. She was now feeling self-conscious. But Zoro wouldn't judge her, she knew that. Yet she still felt nervous about what he'd think of her nymph naked body.
Luffy was wearing tight, blue, cotton short-shorts as underwear, and Zoro smirked at the wet spot on her panties, glad she was able to lubricate. They didn't really have sex supplies in their room.
The nymph wasn't wearing any sort of bra under the dress, since she was completely flat chested. Only pink nipples pointed out slightly, and he didn't know if it was from pleasure or not. She blushed as he looked at all of her, still in underwear. He leaned down and kissed all over her chest and stomach, not at all bothered that she had no breasts.
She was breathing a little quicker now, feeling more moist at her private parts. Zoro reached her navel and still trailed his fingers down her panties until he reached her core area and ran his finger up and down it, eliciting a gasp from her, and a red face, neck and chest. Zoro continued to play with her through her underwear before the wet spot had spread too much for him to continue to resist.
He slowly slid her underwear off and down her legs and small bare feet, maintaining eye contact the whole time once again. Once Luffy was completely bare, she squirmed in awkwardness, not liking she was the only one naked. She looked away from him, feeling uncomfortable.
She was thankful when he pulled his shirt over his head and stepped out of his pants and haramaki, boots resting against the bed next to his swords. Luffy looked at his half naked body greedily. He was so good looking. So muscular and big. Big enough to make her feel safe around anything, even the ocean. If she fell, he'd save her.
Zoro smirked when she licked her lips at the sight of him. And he wasn't even completely naked yet. That part would wait. Luffy was small, therefore she would be small down there as well. He didn't want to hurt her by being too big. So he decided they'd have lots of foreplay, mostly for her.
Zoro was glad she had pubic hair, or he'd feel he was having sex and foreplay with someone much younger than him. He leaned down to her privates and ran his finger against her slit again, this time not through underwear. Her arms shot out and gripped the edges of the bed. He spread her legs further apart, and just stared at her. There was something missing here, he was sure of it.
"Luffy, where is your clitoris?" he asked, slightly concerned. She cocked her head. Clitoris? "The part that makes it feel good?" he elaborated.
It feels good from the inside, she scribbled across the wall next to her. Zoro sighed, glad she even had something to make the act feel pleasurable. But then he wouldn't be able to play with her without putting his fingers inside of her, which he slowly did.
He started with one finger, and almost immediately, she gasped and threw her head back. Zoro looked at her in surprise, not expecting her to feel it so intensely already. He grinned. If she was this sensitive already, she was going to have a good time tonight.
Zoro added more fingers steadily and slowly, twisting them and softly stroking her tight insides and trying to loosen them, noticing she had no hymen. That would be good to not have for later. He could reach his fingers all through her vaginal canal and into her further. He was glad she was small so she could feel it so intensely.
By the twenty minute mark of fingering and giving her oral sex, she'd orgasmed six times. She came over and over, clenching around his fingers or tongue constantly, producing a lot of liquid for Zoro to lick up hungrily. He was grinning at this. She was an easy partner to please. He knew human women had trouble orgasming (thanks to Robin's knowledge), but Luffy had no problem coming over and over, having barely any breaks between them. And they were intense.
Luffy was eventually feeling so much pleasure her eyes were watering and she was panting. It was like Zoro was using magic to make her feel this way. The pleasure had masked the discomfort of the stretching of her opening. But she didn't care what the reason was for him doing this to her; it felt too wonderful to even wonder about why it was happening.
After the forty five minute mark, Luffy had orgasmed 14 times, and was crying in overwhelming bliss. Zoro licked her tears of pleasure away. He knew if she could speak, she'd be screaming her head off. He was a bit sad he couldn't have the pleasure of hearing it, but at least her being so silent didn't give them away. He could do this to her anywhere and no one would know unless they saw.
When Zoro could fit all four fingers into her, he felt she was ready. He spread her legs further apart. Luffy looked up at him with wet and lidded eyes, her face red. "Ready? I'm gonna be gentle," Zoro said calmly. But Luffy wasn't worried or nervous anymore. She nodded.
Zoro removed his boxers and crawled on top of her. His head was almost right over hers. He leaned down onto his forearms to kiss her softly as he slid in, easily because of how much natural lube her body had produced.
Once he was seated inside, she was gasping for air, gripping onto his shoulders tightly as he started slowly moving in and out. She was glad he was going slow and gentle, and he kept going slow and gentle the whole time. He didn't want to hurt her in any way. He wanted her to continue to feel good.
He wasn't at all surprised when she clenched around him only a few minutes into the actual sex. Her fingernails scratched down his back as she let out breathy, silent moans. Only a few minutes after that, she orgasmed again. Zoro grinned at her, happy he was able to please her so well and intensely. She swerved her head side to side at the pleasure of him sliding in and out of her body. He was bigger than his fingers so he reached further inside of her during the actual sex. Her legs wrapped around his waist, feet barely able to touch each other around his back.
He completely dominated Luffy in this, and she wasn't upset about it. She could barely do anything but tremble as she was caringly made love to. They didn't kiss much because they just looked at each other with love with flushed faces. When Luffy's eyes would close and scrunch up from an orgasm, Zoro would watch her with fascination.
After she tightened around him the fourth time, he couldn't hold it in anymore, and finally orgasmed himself. Luffy's eyes shot open when she felt him come inside of her. He grunted as he thrusted a few more times, releasing all of his cum inside of her. Zoro stayed like that for a few minutes, even though he was going soft.
Luffy loved the feeling of him coming inside of her. She felt it everywhere and it was as if its warmth spread outwards from there and made everywhere tingly. As he slowly pulled out, she sighed and completely melted into the soft bed, boneless and utterly spent.
Zoro couldn't help but stare as some of his cum trickled out of her and down the insides of her thighs once he pulled out. It was so hot. He couldn't help but laugh as Luffy struggled to keep her eyes open and not fall to sleep. She was still panting, exhausted from the last hour, in a good way though. She wiped the sweat across her forehead and realized just how sweaty she was, everywhere.
"Did you have fun?" Zoro asked her as he laid down next to her. She nodded her head slowly. She was so tired. "Do you want to sleep?" She nodded again. "Do you want to get dressed first?"
Luffy shook her head. She wanted to feel Zoro's warmth, and wasn't uncomfortable being naked with him now. Zoro smiled, not dressing himself, and pulled her into his arms. He was so happy that it had gone well. He loved her so much.
"I love you, Luffy," Zoro whispered against her lips. She didn't write a reply, she just kissed him gently with a warm smile and a slight nod of her head. Zoro knew that was a way of saying she loved him back. They both fell asleep easily, and both had a good night's rest.
-x-
Robin sat in the girl's room, chuckling. She turned to Nami, telling her what Luffy and Zoro were doing. Nami squealed about it and asked for the details, but Robin wasn't peeping anymore. She'd only watched Luffy make the first move, and her creating a concrete wall to keep anyone out while they had their fun.
"I don't know the details. But Luffy made a concrete barricade against the wall. I do hope Sanji doesn't somehow find out about this. But who knows with him?" Robin asked, laying down and pulling her blankets over her.
-x-
Zoro woke up halfway through the night and needed to use the bathroom. The only problem was that the concrete wall was still caging them inside. Luffy looked so peaceful, but she would be the only one who could get rid of the wall.
He gently woke her up, and she looked around, disoriented for a moment. "Hey," Zoro said softly as he dressed. "I need you to dissolve the wall."
But Luffy was still so tired when she sat up she flopped to the side. Zoro smiled and picked her up to let her touch the wall. Zoro watched as it dissolved into nothing. "Thanks," he whispered and kissed her forehead. She was already asleep again before he tucked her in. Looked like last night really wiped her out. He hoped she wasn't hurt. Just tired.
It was very, very early morning, so no one was awake yet. It was still dark outside. It was cold out as well. He was glad Luffy had been able to make their room stay warm during the night.
When he got back, Luffy had shifted so she hogged up most of the bed. But Zoro was used to this by now, and gently picked the tired girl up and set her down on her side of the bed. He made sure to undress again, and locked the door. Then he went back to sleep, holding Luffy's small hand as she slept silently.
Zoro was first to wake again once Robin bloomed a mouth on their wall, telling them breakfast was ready and they should put their clothes back on. His face turned bright red. But he wasn't at all surprised that the woman would peep on them. He gently woke Luffy up, who's eyelids were still droopy even as she dressed in a new outfit. Zoro combed his fingers through her messy hair until it was less obvious she'd been swerving her head back and forth on the bed.
She yawned and her eyelids fluttered. She was still exhausted.
"Luffy, you're not hurt are you?" Zoro asked in concern. She shook her head and wrote on the wall I'm very tired. Carry me. She lifted her arms up so Zoro picked her up and held her in his arms, the same way he'd brought her back to the ship after the stabbing incident. She fell asleep in his arms.
"Luffy, do you just want to eat a late breakfast? There's no point of going if you're going to just go to sleep. Luffy?" he said and shook her shoulder a little bit. "Do you want to sleep in more?" Luffy nodded her head, and he set her down on the bed, instantly asleep again.
He turned off the light and left the room. He was hungry himself. He'd bring Luffy her breakfast. Zoro wanted to show her he loved her a lot this morning in case she maybe was worried about what would happen next after they did the deed last night. He entered the galley where everyone was sitting at the table.
"Where is Luffy?" Chopper asked.
"She's sleeping in since she's very tired," Zoro answered as he piled food onto his plate. He glared when Robin and Nami giggled at his words. Sanji watched this from his seat on the bench.
"What's the inside joke?" he asked. Both women waved their hands, saying it was nothing, while Zoro still glared at them.
A little while after the meal started, Luffy wandered quietly into the galley barefoot and walked straight up to Zoro, moving his hands away so she could sit in his lap. And fall asleep. Zoro had to move his hands awkwardly to eat but not spill it on her. Even as the others talked and laughed, Luffy stayed asleep, head against his chest. Nami and Robin were looking at her fondly. It looked like last night went well, and they were glad about that. And Robin was glad he'd come to her for help. It was a good thing to do to prepare.
She finally woke up when some of the crew were getting up to leave. She sat up and rubbed her eyes with her fists like a little kid would.
"Hungry now?" Zoro asked. She nodded vigorously. She was very hungry. Sanji saw this and gave her a plate and the leftover food besides the eggs he was going to make fresh for her. Zoro scooched back a little bit so she could get off on his lap and in front of her plate of food.
Once her food was ready, she shoveled all of it into her mouth quickly. Sanji walked out of the room, feeling bitter for some reason. What was with the way Robin-chan and Nami-san kept looking at the couple? He wondered if it had anything to do with the question Zoro'd had yesterday and asked Robin-chan.
Luffy finished her food quickly, picking up her plate to put in the sink, standing on her toes to reach. Before she and Zoro left the galley together, Robin and Nami ushered Luffy away from him and into the girl's room. They wanted to know how it went.
"Hey!" Zoro shouted, not wanting Luffy to talk about last night. But he knew she wouldn't care about speaking about it with Nami and Robin. With the others, he knew she'd be embarrassed to talk about it and not want them to know for a little while. She was closer to Nami than Robin, but they were both women and Luffy wanted to talk about what happened to someone else besides Zoro.
Before Zoro caught up, the hatch was closed behind them, and locked from the inside.
"How'd it go?" Nami asked excitedly. Luffy bit her lip.
"We already knew. I knew before you did what he wanted. He came down here yesterday morning asking for how to please you. He even stayed while I drew him a diagram of female parts. It was endearing. He really wanted you to like it and have fun. I assume that is what happened?" Robin asked.
Luffy smiled at her words. Zoro had wanted her to feel good. Maybe that's why he was the only one to be touching and she was the only one to be touched. Luffy nodded.
It was really fun, she wrote on the board she created.
"Did you orgasm? Was he good?" Luffy nodded.
18 times. She wondered why the two women looked so shocked. Robin was first to speak. "In how long?"
Maybe an hour. Nami looked stunned, while Robin smiled with a hand on her chin.
"Wow. Zoro did good for the first time. I'd never expect that! Especially for a first time… dang," Nami said.
"Was there anything different about you than human women? Did anything come up?" Robin asked curiously.
He said something about a klitoris. But I don't have one I guess.
"Hmmm… what makes it feel good, then?" Robin questioned. Luffy gave her the same answer as she'd given Zoro the night before. "Interesting…"
"Did it hurt at all?" Nami asked. Luffy shook her head. Nothing had hurt. Zoro asked if she was hurt, but she wasn't and didn't know why he'd ask that.
Does it hurt for human women?
"Most of the time, the first time hurts in some way, because the body is not used to sex. It looks like you and Zoro had it lucky," Robin observed. "Though I suppose female nymphs deserve to have a good time considering their menstruation and high infant mortality rate." She smiled at Luffy, who looked so happy. Not just about what they were talking about. It appears an afterglow is a real thing.
Luffy had finally stopped talking when Nami asked how sex felt. It made her uncomfortable, and the two human women could see she'd finally reached the edge of her comfort boundary. Their conversation (gossip) had ended after Luffy being asked how she felt now. Luffy had said she loved Zoro more now, making the other two smile.
The rest of the day, Luffy was a ball of sunshine. She was so happy and hanging out with everyone. Playing with Usopp's weapons with him as he explained them proudly. She did try sunbathing with Nami and Robin for the first time.
She'd made a one piece swimsuit with shorts over the bottom. Not exactly the best clothing for sunbathing, but that didn't matter since she got bored two minutes into it. Then she scurried off to Chopper and asked him to do his magic transformations again. He was happy to oblige.
"Hey, Chopper! Can I ride on your back? I rode on a wolf one time and it was super fun," she said to him. Normally, he wouldn't really want someone to ride on him, but Luffy had no ill intent. She just wanted to have fun. So the reindeer changed into his actual reindeer form and Luffy climbed on.
He ran around the ship, Luffy laughing the whole way, telling Chopper that he was awesome, and Chopper liked hearing that.
She fell off his back when she tried keeping her hands in the air. But she wasn't upset or hurt or embarrassed. She just laughed about it. They both sat down, Chopper a bit tired, and he changed back into his normal form.
"Hey, wanna know something cool?" Luffy asked.
"What?" Chopper replied curiously.
"When a nymph gets old enough, some can turn into animals. Isn't that cool? I hope I can one day."
"Wow! That's amazing. What would you want to change into? Something strong?"
"I wanna change into a house cat," she replied, surprising him. Then he asked why. "They're sneaky and pretty, and can do lots of things. They do whatever they want. My second choice would be some sort of bird. Flying seems really fun." Chopper nodded and agreed, talking with the nymph for a while longer.
Luffy even hung out with Sanji. Zoro actually wasn't irritated about it. He knew Luffy was his, and he was very obviously hers. There was no real reason he should be concerned about her talking to Sanji, because he knew Sanji would know immediately if he was bothering Luffy. She could give the most intense death glare if she felt like it. And if he didn't stop, well then he's an idiot wishing to get punched somewhere.
When Nami punched Sanji, he didn't get upset and actually weirdly liked it. But when Luffy punched him, it just plain hurt.
Luffy was sitting at the table as Sanji cooked and messed around with any sort of dish. Luffy provided him with the ingredients, even though they'd spoil. But they were great for taste testing what he'd make without wasting real ingredients.
He made some delicious desserts, giving some to Luffy, who predictably ran out the door to share with Zoro. Overall, Luffy had a great day. Because of what happened last night or she was just happy, Zoro didn't know.
By bedtime, neither said anything about sex. They both just laid down, clothed, and fell asleep together. There weren't gonna be a sex crazed couple. Luffy had even told him she didn't want to call it sex. It's supposed to be "making love". She said "sex" sounds too simple and not romantic. She also wrote, with a threatening expression, that they would never call it "fucking". Zoro had no problem with any of this.
Over the next couple of weeks, things on the ship were getting better. Luffy lifted everyone's mood and her happiness seemed to rub off on all the others. She'd even come to polite terms with Sanji. They didn't exactly like each other. They just coexisted like he and Zoro did. He tried his hardest to keep the pampering and light sexism away from her. They'd gotten in too many battles with marines and other pirate crews for her to seem at all like she needed protection.
Zoro and Luffy had made love maybe four times in the three weeks that had passed since their first. It really was making love. It was gentle and slow and both of them communicated to one another what they liked and didn't like. It was never rough or a quickie.
It brought them even closer, and Zoro couldn't believe sometimes that he found someone like Luffy. Things she did would be horrifically annoying if someone else did them. He honestly couldn't believe in any future without her.
Then, everything fell apart in just a few minutes.
