Zoro grinned smugly as he stood in the line-up for the 'Grand Canyon' water ride.

"Quit looking like you just won the lottery jackass! You beat me in a stupid race, that's it!" Sanji growled behind him and Zoro laughed, stepping forward as the line moved. Zoro did not give one, single shit how pissed Sanji was right now. In fact, that made his victory all the sweeter.

"You're just lucky we weren't placing bets curly!" Zoro laughed and felt a somewhat forceful kick to the back of his knees and he buckled slightly. Zoro turned around and glared at the blond, who was glaring right back. "I will fight you." Zoro growled, pointing a still dripping wet finger at Sanji's face.

"No, you won't." Sanji smirked and Zoro heard the line moving ahead of him. Zoro followed the line until he reached the front, pulling Sanji with him by wrapping one of his arms around Sanji's. Sanji grumbled irritably, but the slight blush on his cheeks gave him away, so Zoro didn't let go even after they'd stopped walking.

The ride was another raft ride, but it wasn't like the rapids they had previously been on. There wasn't any fake rocks and pretty foliage to make you look like you had entered a jungle. It was just a long, large, metal tube. Half tube, there was no top. The raft fit about six people comfortably so a lot of groups got stuck together. It wasn't an inner tube either, it was a huge, thin-bottomed raft that you actually sat on as you went through the ride. The raft went up high on the sides so that it almost flipped over at some points. It was supposed to be one of the more intense rides in the park.

"Do we have any groups of two?!" The lifeguard shouted as he helped a group of four onto the raft. Zoro put his hand up with two of his fingers raised and the lifeguard called them over.

"OI! Zoro! Sanji! Didn't know you guys were going on here, you could have told us!" Usopp's voice sounded from the raft and Zoro laughed as he climbed into the raft to see Nami, Chopper, and Luffy were also sitting cross-legged on the rubbery surface. "We could have all gone together, guess we're just lucky that we got paired up!" Usopp laughed.

"Can Sanji really be going on rides though?" Nami asked, worry laced in her voice. "I'm not saying you can't, I just would hate for you to get something in your bandages." Sanji seemed to swoon at her voice and Zoro rolled his eyes at the sight. Even after they had started dating, Sanji still kept fawning over Nami every time they spoke. He no longer invited her to go out with him, even if the invites had been too goofy to be real in the first place. He was still overly chivalrous to women, but he had actually toned it down quite a bit. You would think it would bother Zoro the way Sanji acted around women but… not really. After what Sanji had told him just over a week ago, he was sure that Sanji's overly chivalrous behaviour had a lot to do with his mother.

"Oh Nami~! I do apologize, had I known you would be on this ride I would have been at your side right away~! Move it asshat!" Sanji kicked Luffy's shoulder to give himself room to sit down on the ride. Luffy fell to the side and landed right on Nami's shoulder. Nami's face coloured slightly and she looked away. Luffy was doing the exact same thing and Zoro felt a vein throb in his forehead. If the two morons would just LOOK at each other… Zoro just sighed and sat down next to Sanji. Chopper and Usopp giggled like children next to them and it made the corner of Zoro's mouth turn up into a small smile.

"Alright everybody, you know the rules but in case you don't I'll tell ya again." Zoro turned to hear a really smooth, really… familiar voice giving instructions behind him. "Stay seated at all times, no standing and no fidgeting. No pissing in the pool, no matter how scared you are, lookin' at you Usopp." Usopp yelped and ripped his eyes away from Chopper to glare at the lifeguard. "Keep your hands and feet inside the raft at all times and last, no mackin' on each other on the ride." Zoro's face turned bright red and he could see that Sanji was feeling the exact same, although one couldn't be sure that comment was directed at them, it sure felt like it.

"Last, but not least, HAVE FUN! See ya later little bro!" Ace grinned as he moved his lifeguards cap out of his eyes with his thumb and shoved the raft away from him and towards the direction of the slide. Luffy nearly jumped right out of the raft, a smile so wide that it could split his face in half plastered across his features. Zoro laughed as he watched Luffy wave a threatening fist in Ace's direction.

"YOU BASTARD! WHY DIDN'T YOU TELL ME YOU WORKED HEEEERRRRRRRE!" Luffy's words dragged on as they went down a large hill on the ride and Zoro could see Ace's smug grin from half-way down as he pulled the next raft off conveyor belt and plopped it into the small pool of water.

"LUFFY SIT DOWN!" Nami shouted and grabbed onto his arm, dragging him back into the raft just before they hit a large turn and everybody was jostled around. Everybody held on tightly to their handle bars so that they wouldn't be flung off the ride, everybody except for Sanji. Zoro cursed when he saw Sanji jerk around and instinctively wrapped his arm around Sanji's waist to keep him still. Sanji spluttered and Zoro nearly let go again, but they hit another sharp turn suddenly and Zoro had to tighten his grip to keep Sanji from sliding around.

The ride went by quickly, as all water rides do. Then again, when you're having fun with all your friends, it's hard for time not to fly by. Sanji was able to keep himself mostly still using the strength in his legs so Zoro didn't have to hold on to tightly to keep Sanji from sliding around. But… even though he didn't have to, he still kept his arms wrapped snugly around the blonds shoulders. Sanji didn't pull away so he guessed it was okay. When they got to the bottom of the ride, Luffy was immediately stomping back up the stairs to curse out his brother for keeping secrets. Though, Zoro guessed that Ace didn't really think he would be running into Luffy at a waterpark with his fear of water.

"Usopp, Chopper, and I are gonna go down to the rental store and pick up some water guns, you guys coming with?" Nami asked, thumbing in the direction of the small shack with all sorts of different squirt guns, goggles, and pool floaties hanging from the wall. Zoro looked over at Sanji, who smiled at Nami but shook his head, scratching softly at the back of his neck.

"Thank you for the offer my swan, but I'll have to pass~. Really no point in me renting a water gun anyway." Sanji laughed as he wiggled his fingers around to emphasize his point. "Think I'll just hang with the Marimo for a little while. I would love to meet up for lunch together though~!" Sanji fawned and Nami stuck her hands on her hips, giving a slightly pouting frown.

"Sanji! It's nearly impossible to separate you and Zoro nowadays, is there something you want to tell us?" Nami asked slyly. Zoro choked on his own breath when he heard the words leave her lips and looked frantically over to Sanji. Sanji looked, surprisingly calm.

"You always have been the most observant one in this group of Neanderthals my swan~! But, how about we talk about that over lunch in an hour?" Sanji asked sweetly and Nami raised her hands in surrender.

"Alright, alright. Where do we wanna go? There are about three really shitty snack shacks scattered around this place, maybe four, none of them are really that good though. There's actually a nice outdoor bistro across the way though, it's called the Mermaid Café. It's pretty cheap too so that's nice for me!" Nami smiled about the last part, giving a thumbs up and Zoro rolled his eyes. Anything to save a dollar with that girl. He'd actually seen her flirt with a waiter until he marked her meal for free on the bill.

"That sounds lovely~!" Sanji cooed. "So, what about Luffy?" Sanji asked.

"He's fine, he's got Ace with him. Even if Ace can be a bit of a goof sometimes, he's also responsible when he needs to be, it's why I trust him to give us alcohol in the first place." Nami shaded her eyes with her hands and looked up to the top of the ride they had just come off of, as if she could see Luffy and Ace all the way from the bottom. "He always has a way of finding us, I'm sure we'll run into him again before we're supposed to meet up." The group split up to go their separate directions and Zoro was silent or a moment as he and Sanji walked side by side. Sanji lead the two towards a different slide he wanted to go on and while they were walking, Zoro felt the need to ask.

"So… uh… Are we gonna tell 'em?" Zoro asked, his arms crossed behind his head as they walked. Sanji looked over at Zoro, his blond hair sticking to his pale skin. His hair was tied up, all except for his bangs, which hung wetly in front of his face. Zoro swallowed thickly when Sanji looked directly into his eyes.

"I uh… look, I'm not ashamed about it, think I proved that last week at the stand." Sanji said with determination and Zoro nodded in agreement. "Unless you don't want me to tell them-"

"NO! I-uh, I'm glad you want to tell them, I really thought you would be more secretive about it… and I still can't believe you cursed at that woman…" Zoro grumbled.

"That wasn't a woman. That was a witch who needed to learn when to keep her damn mouth shut!" Sanji cursed and Zoro's eyes nearly popped out of his head. He'd never heard Sanji curse about a woman once, let alone twice. "Anyway… I don't feel like there's any reason to hide the fact that I have feelings for you. Not anymore at least…" Sanji's face became flushed further and further into the conversation. "If anybody has a problem with our relationship then they can bitch about it when they get home to their 'holier than thou' families. I really don't give a shit what they think."

Zoro nodded as he listened and before he knew it, they were already in the line-up for the 'Black Hole'. Named as such because the slide was actually a long, black tube that twisted around in loops until it reached the bottom pool.

"Sure you wanna go on this one?" Zoro questioned the blond and Sanji nodded. "Okay, but you're gonna have to sit in my lap so that you don't drown when you hit the bottom." Sanji rolled his eyes moved up to the front of the line. Sanji leaned in to speak to the lifeguard managing the waterslide so he could explain the situation. She understood completely and even helped Sanji into Zoro's lap when they were loading up onto the slide. She called for them to go and Zoro pushed off the edge, immediately plunging the world into darkness as they entered the tube.

Zoro wrapped his arms tightly around Sanji. His heartbeat quickened and he felt Sanji relax back against him. Sanji's heated skin pressed against his chest and Zoro was eighty percent sure that Sanji could feel his heart hammering against his ribcage. Sanji reached back and wrapped his arms around Zoro's neck a little bit awkwardly and Zoro leaned forward so that his chin was resting lightly on Sanji's shoulder. Sanji seemed to jump slightly at the intimacy but soon melted into it as they raced down the slide. Zoro turned his head when he heard Sanji whisper something too quiet for him to hear. Zoro grunted in surprise when Sanji turned his face to look directly at Zoro and pressed their lips together. Zoro closed his eyes, not like he needed to, the entire ride was black as pitch. The kiss was short, and sweet.

As they exited the ride, Sanji removed his arms from Zoro's neck and Zoro's grip on the blond tightened. They hit the water and Sanji raised his hands to keep them out of the water, laughing like a dumbass as he kicked wildly to keep himself up. Zoro laughed with him as he dragged Sanji out of the water and to the stairs. Sanji flailed around a little bit while Zoro tried to pull him up to ground level. Zoro gave him a good whap on the head for that. Goofy bastard.

As they were walking to the next slide, Zoro caught site of Law, Kidd, and Bonney all hanging out in a group. They were standing in line at one of the concession stands and Law was complaining about Kidd's choice in destination for food in that special way that Law does. His arms crossed over his tattooed chest and his hips cocked. Kidd was saying something about how Law wouldn't be satisfied even if Kidd took him to a five-star restaurant and Bonney was just dancing in her spot waiting for the line to move.

"God, you are such a brute. There are children around Kidd, would you keep the swearing to a minimum?" Law groaned as he pinched the bridge of his nose between his fingers and Kidd threw his hands over his head and made an exasperated noise.

"WELL IF YOU WOULD JUST TELL ME WHAT YOU WANT FOR ONCE I WOULDN'T HAVE TO SWEAR SO FUCKING MUCH!" Kidd screamed and Bonney whirled around to glare at them.

"WOULD YOU BOTH QUIT BICKERING?! THEY'LL KICK US OUT AND THEN I WON'T GET TO EAT! IF I DON'T GET MY LUNCH I AM KICKING BOTH OF YOUR ASSES BACK TO THE SCHOOL!" Bonney scolded as she pushed her hair out of her face.

"TOORAAAAOOO!" Zoro grinned when he saw Law tackled by exactly who you would expect to be behind that voice. Luffy wrapped his wiry limbs around Law and the doctor-in-training made the closest sound to a yelp that you'll hear from the man. Law immediately placed his hands on Luffy's chest in an attempt to shove the boy off, but all attempts were proven futile as Luffy continued to cling the teen. Most people would think that Kidd would get jealous over seeing Luffy attached to his boyfriend like shit to a shovel, but no. You never have to look too much into it with Luffy. All the affection he gives is just as it looks, childish and purely platonic.

"TORAO! Are you getting lunch?! AWESOME! We should totally eat together, I'm SUPER hungry!" Luffy laughed and Zoro slapped his hand over his face. So, that meant that Nami hadn't told him the lunch plans yet. Zoro walked over with Sanji following next to him and grabbed Luffy by the rim of his trunks, yanking him off the disgruntled teen. "ZORO! SANJI! I was wondering where you guys ran off to! Torao and I were just about to get some lunch, you should join us!" Luffy giggled.

"I never agreed to eat with you!" Law shouted and Kidd laughed. Nothing made Kidd happier than watching Law getting pissed off at somebody else. When it was him that Law was getting pissed at… that was a whole different story.

"Actually, Nami, Usopp, and Chopper are gonna meet us all at the Mermaid Café across the road in a half hour or so. Think you can wait that long?" Zoro asked and Luffy looked completely conflicted. He would be getting food, possibly even free food, but he would have to wait.

"Hmmmmm… I'll wait… but only if Torao is allowed to join us!" Luffy stated and nodded his head with determination. Law growled where he stood next to him.

"I NEVER AGREED TO THAT EITHER!" Law shouted and Luffy laughed at that. Zoro looked over unsurely to Sanji. With what the blond was planning on telling everybody over the meal, Zoro wasn't so sure he would be comfortable with speaking in front of a larger audience. Telling four people at once was a big enough deal as it is, but telling seven? And it wasn't like he was just admitting to being in a relationship now, he was also coming out. That's a pretty big step to take in front of a quarter of his class.

"Actually… I dunno if-" Zoro began to protest but Sanji thumped him on the chest with his lower arm. Sanji looked at Zoro, nodding his head once in silent question. Zoro gave a short smile. Sanji was asking him if he was okay to announce their relationship to the others as well. Even though Zoro wasn't exactly thrilled about it, if Sanji wanted to do it… then he wouldn't stop him. It was a step that Sanji needed to take, and it was inevitable that everybody would find out sooner or later.

"Sure, Law can join us if he wants." Sanji assured the boy and Luffy whooped in response. Bonney, however, didn't seem nearly as pleased.

"You mean I have to wait even longer for you assholes to feed me! Bullshit!" Bonney complained and stomped away. Kidd grinned maliciously and laughed.

"Looks like it! Too bad, I was looking forward to watching you get even fatter-GUH!" Kidd grunted when Bonney's fist connected with the back of his head.

"SAY THAT AGAIN ASSBAG! I DARE YOU!" Bonney wailed and she waved her fist threateningly near Kidd's now possibly fractured skull. Kidd rubbed at the back of his head and turned to glare at Bonney, murder in his eyes as violently as it was in hers. Zoro heard Sanji scoff beside him and looked over.

"Serves you right for slandering a lady, you brute!" Sanji sneered and Kidd immediately turned on him.

"YOU WANNA FIGHT TOO ASSHOLE?!" Kidd threatened.

"I-I do apologize but if the lot of you i-insist on being so rowdy, I-I'm afraid I'll have to ask you to l-leave." Zoro turned around to see one of the snack-shack employees standing behind him. He actually reminded him of Usopp slightly. Not in appearance, but in the way his knees were shaking and there was most certainly sweat, not water, dripping down his forehead. If Zoro had to guess, he would say that this guy's boss told him to tell Zoro and the guys to take a hike or he would get fired. Law gave an impassive expression and nodded, whistling as you would when calling a dog and walking in a different direction.

"OI! GET YOU'RE ASS BACK HERE LAW!" Kidd shouted as he followed behind and Zoro had to bite his tongue to keep from laughing at the way Kidd just followed like the dog Law treated him as. Bonney ran to catch up with the two before shouting back to them.

"SEE YOU GUYS AT THE CAFÉ!" Bonney waved as she called back in their direction. Sanji waved back like a loon, all wiggling and everything. Luffy giggled as he waved as well and Zoro just stood there with his hands balled up in the pockets of his swim trunks. Sanji kicked at the back of Zoro's legs and Zoro sighed, pulling one of his hands out of his pockets and giving a single, short wave.

"So, Luffy, how did things go with Ace?" Sanji turned to Luffy and asked. Luffy opened his mouth to begin what was most likely an excited and lengthy rant, but Zoro was already walking away. "OI! Shithead Marimo! You're gonna get yourself lost, get back here!"

"MORON! Snack shack guy just told us to take a hike, so that's what I'm doing!" Zoro shouted back and turned away from the two, knowing that they would soon catch up to him. He was right and within second, Sanji and Luffy were walking next to him towards, wherever the fuck he was going.

"Ace told me that he's working here for the summer every day that he gets the chance! But he promised that we'd still go drinking every Sunday night!" Luffy laughed.

"Thought your brother already had a job Luffy? You said he worked at a bar or something, right?" Sanji asked as he tried to push some of his hair out of his face. He gave up at some point and Zoro was this close to doing it for him, but that would just end up embarrassing the blond.

"Yeah, he's a bartender! But that's a night job, he only works here during the day!" Luffy explained.

"That's not how he's getting all our booze, right?" Zoro asked suspiciously.

"At the place he works he gets a small discount, only ten percent or something, on the bottles that have already been opened, that's why we never get anything full and it's usually six or seven different kinds." Luffy grinned. "One time he convinced a guy into buying some really nice sake so that he could bring home the rest after work. Shishishshishi!"

"What's the name of the place?" Sanji asked as they entered into a random line-up. Zoro wasn't sure which slide they were lined up for, but if the wait was this long, it had to be good. Guess they would find out when they got to the front.

"Shakky's Rip-off Bar."

"You sure you're brother's actually getting a deal then?" Sanji grumbled and Luffy laughed. The line moved and Zoro followed, feeling a little put off that they didn't have to climb any stairs to get to the line. Maybe it was a sort of underground river ride? Zoro shrugged, he was too busy thinking about lunch to worry about it anyway. It wasn't that he was worried the group wouldn't be okay with the two of them together. The problem was, the two of them together is exactly what everybody had been hinting at. Having to admit that everybody was right kinda pissed Zoro off. Then again… he couldn't be sure they were right yet… they'd only been dating for a little over a week- Zoro was pulled from his train of thought when Sanji tapped lightly on his shoulder, Luffy laughing like an idiot behind him.

"Zoro, this is the bathroom line-up."
