A place to stay

"Wait Luffy, we need to decide what to do with the curly eyebrow!" Zoro said and folded his arms together.

"It's Sanji, stupid moss head marimo!"

"Isn't it obvious Zoro? He can live and cook for me every day! Shishi."

"I doubt your grandfather would allow it. Your brother is one thing, but your grandfather would kill you."

"Then… I'll hide Sanji in my closet and then…"

"What the hell am I?! Your pet?! Fuck off, I'm not going to your house even if you pay me!"

"Aahhhh but Sanji, I'm so hungry and you agreed to be my friend."

"I don't remember ever agreeing to this shit!" Sanji said and blew some smoke into the air.

"Shishi but you did agree."

"Shit! When the hell…"

"It must have been when you were on drugs. It was so funny!" Usopp giggled when he recalled the drugged Sanji.

"I was never on drugs!"

Zoro just moved along and changed the subject back to the main one, not bothering to comment on what Sanji said about him when he was on drugs.

"Anyway, Luffy you can't have Sanji without being killed, anyone else?"

"Well, I really want to help you Sanji but…I have very little space in my apartment and with Kaya moving in, it's a little crowded…" Usopp hesitated and Sanji kicked his knee

"What?! You never said you were moving in with her! You son of a bitch!"

"Ahhh I was going to tell you…!" Usopp cried and hid behind Zoro back, hoping to stay alive when Zoro was his shield.

"Come over here you little..!" Sanji came to kick his ass, but Zoro held his arms from his armpit, holding him tight.

"You moron, shut up! Next."

"Sorry bro, My Robin likes her privacy. I don't really mind if you come for some time, but it won't be super!" Franky said and did a weird pose.

"What's with the Speedo and blue tattoo?" Sanji asked, but didn't get any answer.

"Ohohohoh I'd be glad to have you Sanji-san, but I have my band with me. They're kind of messy."

"Well that's all of us. Nami is not here, but she's been staying with Vivi. And I don't think she'd let anyone in unless they paid her half of the rent. Apart from Luffy that is," Usopp said and was glad Zoro was holding Sanji up.

"Don't talk about the sweet Nami like that!" Sanji warned him and tried to free himself from Zoro's grip. Damn what did this man eat anyway?

"So no one can have that annoying curly brow with him?!" Zoro grumbled and the eyes of all of them except for Luffy sat upon him.

"What?!" Zoro asked. He didn't like their looks on him.

"What about you Zoro? You haven't had any roommates for years and you have plenty of space."

"No way in hell!" Zoro growled and make sure every one of them met his deadly glare.

"It's not fair Zoro, I want to live alone too!" Luffy whined and Zoro glared at him too.

"Then move away and take that stupid blond with you!"

"Hi! I have a name, stupid marimo! What's your problem anyway?!" Sanji glared at him and they had a glaring match together.

"I don't need any roommate with me! I can manage by myself," Zoro said determinedly, and Sanji looked away from him.

If he didn't want him around so much, then he wouldn't go with him. Sanji didn't need any favors from the jerk anyway, although he felt a little hurt. Actually, he didn't mind staying with him, but that how it was, so he had to find somewhere else to stay the night. Outside was good too, he guessed.

"Don't look like that…I just do what I want okay?!" Zoro tried to talk to him again, but Sanji decided not to answer him and smiled instead to the others that looked worried about him.

"I"II be fine, don't worry about me everyone. Let's split up now and we'll meet again with Nami-san tomorrow, I hope."

"Are you sure you'll be okay? It's a big city and you don't have any money. I can give you some of what I have but.."

"No Usopp, I can earn it by myself! Or do you think I'm useless?!"

"Well, if you say it like that…I guess you're right, here's my number. If something ever happens or you need anything, call."

"Ahhh I want to give Sanji my number too!" Luffy cheered and started to search for a pen.

"Why would he need your number Luffy?"

"Because I get hungry." Usopp rolled his eyes and Sanji only smiled at them, giving him their numbers, although they barely knew him. Sanji was really grateful to them.

"If you don't found anywhere to go, come to my house! I'll have you even if my grandfather won't like it." Luffy smiled at him brightly and Sanji nodded to him with a small smile.

With that, they split up, everyone gone to their own house or life. And Sanji tried to think of what to do now or where to sleep. It was very late at night, and he wasn't sure where he was allowed to sleep in this weird world.

In his own kingdom, if they found you sleeping in a place you were not allowed to sleep in, you'd be taken to the local minister and get a good beating. Some of them, Sanji heard, died in the process. He had always hated the laws of his father, but he could not change them since he wasn't married or taken the throne yet. Maybe he should have just married some woman and taken the laws into his own hand before it was too late, but he couldn't have. Sanji believed in love, and as much as he wanted to help the people, he wouldn't force any women to marry him if he didn't truly love her with all his heart. That was just how Sanji was so that was how it went in his father way.

In the end, Sanji found a silent park to sleep in. He hoped he wouldn't get punished for sleeping there, but he didn't really care at that point. He was exhausted and just wanted to sleep. Guilty feelings surrounded him and he fell into a deep sleep.
