Usopp
Usopp shifted in his seat uncomfortably. They had been in this car all day. Somebody, not him, had decided it would be a good idea to let the directionless Zoro drive. The same Zoro that got lost in his own house on a daily basis. He sighed maybe a good nap was in order.
"Are we there yet?"Luffy asked from the front seat for the hundredth time. The boy is a young teen with the brain of a child. Now he sat with his feet up in the seat red button up shirt was opened up to show a well toned chest and he wore cutoff shorts which didn't help his childish demeanor.
Zoro in the driver seat was furious. His hands clenched the wheel so hard his knuckles turned white. Zoro growled low with luffy asking so many times his patients was thin,very thin. unlike his passenger,Zoro wore normal clothes. Muscles rippled under his black short sleeved v-neck as he turned left taking them to the same place from hours ago. He grunted,"Shutup Luffy" shifting his leg to the break as they came up to a red light. The car jerked to a stop.
Zoro suddenly turned around and grabbed Usopp by the shirt. He let out a squeak of surprise promising himself that if Zoro killed him he would haunt Luffy for the rest of the annoying idiots life. Usopp was then slung into the front seat.
"Usopp drive!" Zoro yelled from the back. Usopp immediately put his seat belt on wondering if the one in the back was still intact and why he was still alive. Luffy in the passenger seat laughed about nothing staring out the windshield of the car.Sometimes I wonder what goes on in his head.He drove on listening to Luffy tell a story of a dream he had. Something to do with pirates and what not. Zoro glared at him in the back his arms crossed over his chest. Really he just looked like a pouting kid. Not that Usopp had the balls to tell shook his head as images of Zoro killing him appeared in his mind.
Finally the car turned into the Baratie parking lot. Zoro's mood immediately went up and his usual scowl turned into a smirk. The car was barely stopped before Zoro's door was open and he jumped out. Usopp looked over to see Luffy climbing out the window screaming Usopp was anyone else this would probably freak them out or make them scared for their friends safety, but Usopp was use to it. Usopp sighed before he parked the car and headed towards the entrance to the restaurant.
Sanji
Today is going to be a good day! Sanji could tell. This morning he had parted his hair differently and it looked fabulous and, for once in his life his goatee had grown out just enough to make him even more favorite clothes had been wrinkle free and fit against his body just right and he wore them today, because today is a good there was the small piece of paper that had his cell phone number on it in his pocket. A gift for the Marimo even though he was late had played it out so many times in his head first he would give him his number and he would be so grateful he could do nothing but text him all day.
Some would say he had become obsessed and really he had. Still those people could piss off so what if he had? He is happy right? Then leave him alone. As if on cue the door opened and the Mosshead stepped in. Sanji threw his apron off and yelled lunch other chefs nodded use to Sanji's "lunch breaks".Sanji spun dancing a little in delight before he came to a complete stop. Zoro wasn't alone...A teenage boy clung to boy was hanging from Zoro's arm like a surprised him the most was Zoro did nothing to remove the pest. He didnt seem happy either though.
The boy then let go falling to the ground on his feet. He giggled loudly before sucking in air. His chest expanded and he half expected the rest of him to expand too this kid had some major lungs on him. "MEAT!" he yelled and deflated like a balloon. Customers all over the restaurant stopped eating to stare at the loud mouthed boy. Zoro looked like he wished the floor would just swallow him whole. Serves him right he brought the pest.
Sanji walked over to the boy and green haired man laughing angrily. He smacked the kid on the head, "Be quieter you're in public shitty pest!" he yelled. Zoro's face held no emotion at the moment, and the boy rubbed his head sending Sanji a glare. Usopp then decided it was time to enter and walked into the building behind the teenager."Oh,Sanji, this is Luffy our friend," he said smiling and putting a strawhat on Luffy's head.
"So your Sanji?" Luffy said a big smile covering his face,"We are going to be good friends"
Before Sanji could question the boy Usopp drug him to a booth offering to buy him anything if he behaved. Zoro seemed to snap back into reality,"He will regret that" he said matter of factly. Sanji gave him a questioning look before a small whine escaped Usopp's lips as Luffy ordered one of everything. The man pulled out his wallet as if he could see money flying out of it and ordered himself a water. Sanji chuckled and walked Zoro towards the back door as Usopp cried a river on the edge of the table.
Outside the sun was setting low in the sky adding a calm setting for the two. Sanji reached into his pocket and pulled out the paper with his number on it."Here shitty Marimo" he said thrusting it into said mans chest. Zoro grunted his hand closing around the paper and brushing Sanji's fingers. He jerked back turning slightly to hide his blush. Zoro looked at the paper with a scowl before his eyes widened,"thought you might want it" Sanji shrugged.
Zoro smirked at him,"You hitting on me cook?"
The cooks face heated up turning a bright shade of red " No shitty ape!" he yelled shoving him. Zoro chuckled before reaching in his pocket and pulling out his phone. A look of concentration passed over his face and his tongue hung out slightly. Then a happy noise escaped his mouth before he flipped his phone shut and put it in his pocket. Sanjis pocket vibrating scared the shit out of him and he jumped slightly. "My number" Zoro smirked.
He decided to look at it later his lunch break was not going to last forever so he didn't want to spend it texting the man he could talk to instead. Like every other break Sanji and Zoro stood there talking to each other about their day, their past, really anything they thought of. Ever so often he would notice he had leaned closer or stepped way too close to Zoro. Zoro showed no signs of minding so he really didn't care.
The conversation suddenly died and he realized Zoro was just staring at him. Sanji fidgeted but didn't look away. Zoro's hand reached up and caressed Sanjis face his calloused fingers lightly rubbing his jaw. "Your hair looks better this way" Zoro commented his voice deeper than normal. His hand slid down and he lightly traced his goatee. Sanji stopped breathing and trembled slightly leaning closer to Zoro there bodies now touching. Zoro lifted Sanjis chin up and looked into his eyes as if to check something before he started to lean down slowly. Sanji closed his eyes ready for Zoro to kiss him.
"Zoro!" someone yelled across the alley scaring the shit out of Sanji who jumped back startled with a yelp.
Zoro's head snapped up his eyes widening. "Wha-What are you doing here?" he asked turning towards the interrupter pushing Sanji behind him. Sanji slid behind him easily thinking stuttering didn't suit the big man at all.
"That's no way to treat your father" the man said walking out of the shadows to stand in front of them. The man stood tall and had an almost proud set to his posture. His build unlike Zoro's was lean and frail but anyone could tell he wasn't a push over. He wore a brown long sleeved button up shirt with jet black pants that hung loosely but not loose enough to be considered baggy. Sanji stopped gawking at the man as Zoro's hand slid down his arm and squeezed looked up to the green haired mans face and felt himself go cold. Zoro's face held no happiness or anger and not even shock at seeing his father. His face could only be described as a small child that had just seen a monster eat everything he loved right in front of him.
"Sanji go inside!" Zoro yelled without looking back his voice shook slightly.
In all his time of knowing Zoro he had never known him to be fearful of anything. Even when he himself had screamed (like a girl) a very manly scream over a huge spider (not that big of a spider) landing on his shoulder. Zoro had only stood there and laughed at his flustered self. He even picked up the spider and played with it after Sanji had convinced him (whined a lot) that it shouldn't touch him and that it was simply threw it behind him after he lost interest in it. Sanji would never say that the smile that crossed his mouth was one of joy at the spiders predicament.
Here stood that man so scared that he shook slightly. Sanji knew that whoever this man was wasn't good for Zoro. He pulled his arm out of Zoro's grip, which wasn't that hard to do, and stepped in front of him to be some kind of shield. The green ape's eyes looked pleadingly into Sanji's and he shook his head. He wouldn't leave him to face this man alone. He then gave Zoro a warm smile that could give Luffy a run for his money and turned back to the man. "I'm not leaving you Zoro," Sanji said his eyes fixed on the stranger.
Zoro's father stood there with a cocky smirk on his face "Oh is that the new sex toy?" he questioned giving Sanji a look of distaste. Sanji frowned glaring at the man. No I'm not a sex toy bastard! The bastard reached into his coat pocket and pulled out a bottle of liquor bringing it to his lips and drinking swiftly from it. Zoro stiffened behind him his hand going back to hold Sanji's wrist. He welcomed the touch it meant that Zoro wasn't in some trance. After a long guzzle the man staggered bottle still in hand. "Oh Zoro your still as gay as ever!" he slurred rubbing his arm across his mouth. Sanji bit his tongue now was not the time to go ape shit on Zoro's old man. The man seemed to find something amusing because his hysterical laughter echoed off the walls.
"A total fucking let down!" he yelled"I raised you better" Ah that's what this is. A parent ashamed because their son turned gay.Spit flew out of the man's mouth with every stupid thing he said. Sanji grit his teeth this man was really pissing him off. "You're drunk go home" Zoro commanded. The man laughed curling over himself before taking another drink.
"You think you can boss me BOY" he spat the last word before realization dawned on his face,"or maybe... I mean you like me so maybe you are a woman"
The man then seemed to take great pleasure in his own cruel joke and laughed. "Yeah... You woman" a belch escaped his mouth along with more laughter. Alright that was enough this man obviously didn't have any manners either. Sanji had had enough he lunged forward ripping his arm out of Zoro's grip again and pointed at the man. "You know I have had enough of your shit" he yelled. The man stopped laughing and Zoro looked at Sanji with surprise. "This whole time all you have done is called Zoro names and criticized him" he pointed at Zoro for emphasis, "Well if you ask me you, yourself aren't up here receiving an award for best dad in the world! Which i highly doubt you will ever deserve. You are suppose to be one of the few that accepts Zoro's choice, but all you do is put him down!" Sanji yelled. He wasn't done no this man had thoroughly pissed him off. He let his voice go low and menacing "Now leave now before I have to kick your ass!" When he was done the air went silent and no one breathed.
The man seemed to snap literally his whole body jolted and anger formed on his expression. His laughing fit was over there was no longer a glint of humor in his eyes. This wasn't funny. "You think I will let my sons bitch talk to me like that!" he yelled his voice low and he actually sounded sober. His bottle was thrown to the ground like he was throwing a tantrum and its liquid spread over the cement. He flinched from his own loud noise and reached into his pocket.
"Sanji is not my bitch" Zoro growled finally deciding to step in,"and you will not talk to him like-" His sentence died on his lips as his father put a hand out to stop him. His other hand went to his forehead and held a glistening knife. He staggered back cutting his head with the knife. A small trickle of blood slid down between his eyes but he didn't seem to feel it.
"Stop!" Sanji yelled this man had a knife and he was drunk not the best combination. The man's icy gaze turned to Sanji and he stumbled forward tripping over air but righting himself before falling.
"I'll deal with you now" he mumbled looking down. With each step he took forward Sanji and Zoro took a step back. Could they turn and run? If they did would he follow them into the restaurant? They couldn't run the other way he was blocking it. Then he stopped and no one breathed. No one made a sound. Like before he jolted and lunged forward reaching for Sanji. Out of instinct he closed his eyes and brought his left foot up ready to kick. Everything happened so fast.
First, the drunk bastard lunged his right hand out stretched for the blond and his left hand raised in the air with the knife. Zoro then grabs Sanji by his shirt slinging him back as hard as he could. Sanji caught off balance by his raised foot is flung back like a rag doll. He flies against the door to the restaurant and lets out a loud scream. Luffy inside the restaurant hears Sanji and jumps up pulling his hat down shadows cover his eyes and he runs to the door. Zoro's piece of shit father lashes out with the knife and Zoro screams crouching to the ground covering his left eye. The knife falls to the ground and his father steps back alarmed.
Blood oozes from between Zoro's fingers onto the ground and he shakes a bit. Sanji's mouth goes dry as he screams and he attempts to crawl over to Zoro on his hands and knees but pain shoots up his arm from his wrist and he hisses. The door behind him opens to reveal a very pissed off Luffy. Luffy no longer looks like some innocent kid and when his gaze wipes over Sanji and Zoro then lands on the culprit his gaze turns even more deadly. Sanji stares wide eyed at Luffy as he yells for Usopp to call and ambulance. He then looks at Sanji "Sanji! Snap out of it Zoro needs you. Help him stop the bleeding" Luffy commands.
Like being told that from a captain Sanji immediately jumps into action. He stumbles the rest of the way over to Zoro his legs shaking from adrenaline and, rips his favorite blue button up shirt there went his favorite shirt... He helps Zoro hold it to his eye and cradles his hurt wrist to his chest. Zoro whimpers a little and Luffy turns back to Zoro's father "Hizo!" Luffy yelled his voice seemed to boom and the man winced from the noise," I told you that if you ever hurt Zoro again I would kick your ass!" With that Luffy cracked his knuckles. Zoro sat up and leaned against Sanji. He rubbed Zoro's shoulders soothingly "Don't worry Zoro, Luffy has got this" Sanji said.
Zoro whimpers a little and Sanji glares at this man with as much hatred as he can muster. Again? So this man has hurt Zoro before! Sanji wishes it could be him to kick this mans ass but Luffy seems to have it under control so all he does and sit and wait for the ambulance to come. He hopes they get there before Zoro loses too much blood.
