A/N's: I'm Baaaack! And here is what you all have been waiting for! Maybe? O.o
- Chapter 14 / Look at Yourself
Chopper drove his car on down yet another street having no clue where he was going, but he kept on searching for Sanji's red convertible. It was pointless by this time. It had been far over an hour and they had not caught any sign of him nor had any calls came in from the others that said they had either.
The doctor looked over stealing a glance at Zoro for a moment and frowned in worry.
Zoro was staring out the window intently as if his will alone of desire could make the blonde show up.
Chopper's phone then went off and he looked down at it, his heart skipping a beat for a moment at seeing it was Robin. He answered as Zoro's attention turned now to him and the incoming phone call.
"Hello?" Chopper spoke up.
"Hello, Doctor-san. We have not found any sign of Mr. Prince and Luffy-san thinks it best if one of the groups head back in case by chance Mr. Prince re-shows up there. So our group will be heading in. Everyone else is still looking trying some places, yet still no sign." came Robin's ever calming voice as she gave her small report.
"Ah I see, alright then Robin me and Zoro will keep looking a bit longer too." Chopper replied mainly saying it in such a way so he could also let Zoro know it was no news of Sanji being found.
Zoro's head at hearing the faction of the report turned back to look out his window.
"I wish you and Bushido-san luck. Take care." Robin said her voice taking one a softer tone for a moment before the call ended.
Chopper swallowed a lump in his throat. It was getting harder now. Robin and him had found a few more chances to get away from the others but not nearly enough for the need with in the young doctor's heart to be satisfied by. He longed to shout from the roof tops how much he loved the woman but he had his promise to keep, besides how could he hurt such a good friend like Franky? Then again he guessed he already was, the large man just didn't know it.
Chopper put away his phone and stared hard at the road ahead. "Hey Zoro?" he then questioned.
"Humm?" came the reply of the busy swordsman, straining his eyes out the side car window, down side streets and any other nooks and crannies that made themselves known to him.
The young doctor thought about how to pose this question so not give him and Robin away. "If…if you really care about someone but they have something …something you need, maybe like someone that you just feel so strongly about, is it right…is it right to hurt the first party, so maybe you can have that thing of theirs for yourself just for awhile cause you need it so much?"
Zoro stopped his searching and looked over to Chopper with a frown. Yet he also really thought about this question and how it posed to him. Ace had been a good friend of his for a long time now and Sanji… well he had only known the blonde for barley a handful of days if that many. Still there was something, something that could not make the swordsman look away from this blonde. It first was the strong desire to kick the man's ass but then the more time he had spent with Sanji, something started to change rather fast.
It had started at Sanji's confession that first morning at the breakfast table. Sanji had done a noble thing as stupid as it was, it had been yet for a good reason, and Sanji's sacrifice had made a little bit of respect blossom with in Zoro for the man. Then there was the car ride. A small first hand taste at the man's physical strength and a feel for him. It made Zoro want to fight the blonde that much more to really put that strength to the test, finding it worthy, maybe enough so to even match his own. Then came the blonde's flirting and even if it was just to try and piss him off it left a desire in him he just could not shake. The icy on the cake had been hearing all of what Sanji had been through, yet to still see him trying to protect his step-father, only then to hear yet another story of even more trouble the blonde had been through and still be standing.
Zoro was not a man to believe in fate or any of that mystical heaven and so on bullshit, but to see a man this strong like Sanji, well it was like if he had been made for Zoro. Sure he was in love with Luffy for many of the same reasons, but even if he didn't love Sanji right now, how could Zoro ever turn his back on trying to obtain and just taste that strength Sanji had with in him self? Out of all the attractive features the blonde had that was what had pulled the swordsman in the most. Sanji's strength.
"Zoro?" questioned Chopper after the green haired man didn't answer for some time.
Zoro pulled out of his thoughts of Sanji and looked at the doctor now remember the question. "Be it right or wrong you can't help but reach out for what you long for." It was the only reply he could give. It's not like he had set out to hurt Ace vindictively, Zoro just could not turn a blind eye to the temptation anymore of what it was he wanted, and while he had not tried to make a move on Luffy other then trying to admit to the other man how he felt, it was just simply different. Luffy was something much more pure maybe innocent was not the right word but Sanji was just kinda more …attainable? That didn't sit well with the swordsman, but it was just more realistic, the idea of him with Sanji rather then Luffy just seemed to make more sense.
Chopper frowned at the so called answer he was given. That didn't really help him at all. "Yeah but what if ... well what if say this other person you want to take away wants to be with your friend?"
A deep frown came to Zoro's face at that thought. Chopper was probably just trying to prepare him for the worst case of what might happen since after all it had been Ace Sanji had called. That had hurt, but it was also Ace that Sanji had ran away from this time too. Anyways there had been that moment in that parking lot by Sanji's car. It had been so fleeting yet he had seen it in Sanji. The man wanted him. "Even if its just some small part of want that makes them want you …it can grow ... if the time is taken… it can become strong." the swordsman said sure that he could in time he could make Sanji see the light and understand the logic reasons that they should be together.
A hope swelled with in Chopper's chest. He had not even thought about that. Yet in time surly that was what would happen. Robin would see just how much he loved her and she would start to love him just as much and come fully and only to him. That still left Franky out in the cold but … well dammit, Chopper was only human. Maybe they could find someone else for the man. Franky was a good honest man and a hard worker too but he was lacking the sophistication needed to fully appreciate someone like Robin. Chopper on the other hand. He was prefect for the woman!
The two of them were then pulled out of his thoughts when Chopper's cell went off again this time though when Chopper looked to see who it was, it was an unmarked number.
"Dr Chopper?" questioned a man in a frantic voice.
Chopper frowned. "Yes I'm he. What can I do for you?"
"Sanji, dammit I said you're not leaving!" yelled the man.
Chopper's eyes widen and he nearly ran a red light before stepping on the car break in time. "Sanji?" questioned Chopper and this of course had Zoro all ears.
Gin was on the other side of the line was trying to pin Sanji down to the floor in his bedroom. He had pounded enough times on the blonde's chest and started CPR to get him breathing again, but now the blonde drugged out of his mine was insisting he was going to leave, and in his state that kept making him pass out.
"Ah shit … we need your help I think I …I know he has taken too much and he keeps passing out, and sometimes his not breathing during those times." Gin tried to explain and hold Sanji down all at the same time. Thankfully the blonde being so high, he was not even trying to fight just use power to go where he wanted.
Chopper had only met Gin once before but he was a rather scary man, and now Chopper also knew Gin worked for Don Krieg's gang, that he was his number one man, second in command! Chopper licked his lips trying to set the panic on hold and slipped into doctor mode. "Where are you and what all has Sanji taken?" He listened to Gin give the address and then list off the drugs he had given to the blonde and the alcohol he had come over with but the man didn't know what else Sanji had done before coming over and was trying to ask Sanji when Gin suddenly started to full out panic now and his tongue slipped into Spanish.
As Chopper turned the conversation from English to Spanish, Zoro narrowed his eyes at his little friend. He wanted to know what the fuck was going on. Whatever it was, it sounded like Sanji was in trouble! He wanted to ask but he could see the change with in Chopper, the change that only came with a medical crises. So he was forced to sit there and try to pick up any word he could. Sadly Spanish was not his strong point. He knew a bit but not enough to keep up with the fast pace Chopper was speaking in.
In this day and age where people had come from all over the world to make a new society it had lead to being able to speak a few languages as the common thing. Even in TV ads and on billiards it was the norm to see things listed in the top three common languages which were English, Japanese, and Spanish. It was even trendy to use a main language and use words from others languages in ones speech as it was proof one had knowledge in other such areas. Knowledge was power, and everyone most of all wanted that in this world today, that was for sure.
Zoro knew some Spanish, and full English and Japanese, while most doctors like Chopper could speak all three common ones and sometimes more. Most head figures either working with government or law enforcement jobs normally could speak all three as well. In truth really most any job that tended to work more with the public was pretty well off bilingual.
Chopper had changed course in driving by now and after a while put his cell on mute so he could speak freely to Zoro with out worry of being over herd.
"Sanji has ODed again and is over at Gin's place, Don Krieg's second head. I got the white flag for you, but Zoro you need to keep your cool while there. We can't start anything, and Gin can't find out I'm in a Luffy's gang else my cover will be blown for Water 7 got it?" the little man asked very firmly.
Zoro nodded, "Fine but our main goal is to get Sanji out of there and back with us." He didn't care about what he had to do as long as it meant giving him a chance to get Sanji to listen to him with out the damn blonde running away.
Chopper frowned, "No our main goal is to make sure he lives."
Gin sat Sanji in the tub in his bathroom and quickly turned on the shower blasting it with icy water on the blonde like the doctor had told him to do.
Of course Sanji's eyes shot open wide at this and waved his arms about trying to get his bearings and due to the shock of the coldness, not to mention trying to away from it. He cried out in wordless frustration but then fell back into the shower feeling just so sleepy.
"Come on baby wake up, you got to stay awake Sanji!" Gin yelled at the blonde as he slapped the side of Sanji's face not hard but enough to give a bit of a sting. The doctor he had called, from the number he had got from Doflamingo the time before, was on his way, just till then he had to keep Sanji awake, and it was really becoming a battle.
Sanji leaned into Gin feeling the warmth of another's skin and favoring it over the icy water. "Just a little rest, it is ok love." He mumbled really not knowing what he was saying.
The words however struck deep for Gin and made him work that much harder to keep Sanji conscious. As Sanji then slumped over on him, Gin got into the tub with the other man and pulled Sanji into a sitting position and pressed the blonde's bare back to the cold wall tile. From when Sanji had tried to leave both were wearing their jeans, Gin having put on his just in case he ended up having to run outside after Sanji, but other then that the two had nothing else on.
"Baby please, please don't do this to me." Gin begged now taking the blonde's face in his hands trying to get Sanji to look at him.
Sanji's focus however was on the bathroom light. The colors were so pretty, if you stared deep enough into it, it was like you could see its soul. The soul of it was blue ... the light was sad. He wondered what color his soul was. "I'm I blue?"
Gin frowned, "What?" he shook his head not understanding what Sanji was asking him.
"I think you …oh your all so very dark. That would be black. Black of … is darkness…" Sanji blabbered on irrationally but now and then made a full rational sentence. "Its cold, I want to go back to bed now." he whined as his teeth starting to chatter.
"You got to stay awake till the doctor gets here baby. Can you do that for me? Can you stay awake till then?" Gin asked softly brushing back Sanji's wet hair then paused at the sight he saw there on the man's face, the brand mark, and something then clenched with in Gin's stomach. For the first time in Gin's life he felt guilt, true untainted guilt at what he had gotten the blonde into at seeing that mark.
Gin's gaze was broken by the voice coming from his cell on the sink. Doing the best he could he steady Sanji he then leaned his long body back and got the phone, "Yeah?"
"We are pulling up right now, which apt number is it?" asked Dr. Chopper.
"306, the front door is open." Gin was quick to replied trying to keeping an eye on Sanji.
"Ok we will see you in a moment." And the line clicked off.
Gin tossed his phone in the sink and went back to trying to talk to Sanji and keeping Sanji sitting up, as his jeans were getting soaked just like Sanji's, but his only worry was Sanji. "The doctor is almost here baby, come wake up now." He had to shake Sanji a bit to get the man to open his eyes again as he had just closed them.
"No … no. Why, why do you always make beg for what I want?" Sanji whined.
Gin frowned and didn't have an answer for that. He just didn't want Sanji to die. Yet the question was a good one.
Before he could give it anymore thought he heard people running into his apt calling out, "Sanji?"
"In here, he is in here!" Gin replied calling back out and the doctor and man that had came with the doctor then at once popped into the bathroom. Gin moved out of the tub letting the doctor take his place.
"Sanji can you hear me?" Chopper asked after getting in the tub and squatting down. He then pushing the blonde's head back with one hand as the other held open Sanji's eyes to check the pupils, Chopper then froze for a moment not due to the ice cold water splashing on him or Sanji's state but due to seeing that brand mark on Sanji's face. It gave the young doctor a cold chill more then any icy water could give.
Sanji blinked a few times and then a bright smile came to his face as his arms lifted up lazily and flopped over Chopper's shoulders. "Choppy!" he cried out joyfully and then felt a wave of dizziness and started to slump.
Zoro stood in the doorway of the bathroom holding Chopper's backpack that the man always took around everywhere with him for times, Zoro was guessing, just like these. As Zoro watched Chopper's back as the doctor worked with Sanji, Zoro could not help but feel sick to see the blonde like this. Someone as strong and powerful as Sanji should never lower himself down like this.
Chopper caught the man and started to lift him up then looked back to the green haired man, "Zoro help me get him to the floor."
The swordsman at once complied and there was much shifting made done from everyone as the bathroom was not that big and with all four of them in there it was very cramped.
Gin now took up the spot at the doorway and watched them put Sanji on the floor though his mind tugged at him. That man's face, 'Zoro' why was it he seemed so familiar? Gin's thoughts were ripped out of him as a scream came from Sanji.
Chopper frowned as he administered a drug into the blonde by a shot. It would help him come down and keep him from having a heart attack, as Chopper was worried Sanji might. The only bad thing was it would burn like a bitch for bit.
The blonde bucked in pain from his arm, it feeling like it was on fire from the drug. Slowly though he started to calm down, the pain not so much now, and he just lay there and whined. The bliss feeling was also starting to lose some of its hold now. Sanji didn't like it; he had been happy how he was before.
Zoro helped hold Sanji down yet as the man started to calm down, Zoro could not help notice the brand mark on Sanji's cheek. A furry burned with in Zoro. No one had a right to do that to this man! Not someone like Sanji, not someone so free of heart to be marked like some damn slave … yet that was what Sanji was, he was a slave. The realization of it even though Zoro had heard it, and knew all the facts, never did hit him as hard as it did right now at seeing that mark, at seeing the truth being shoved right in his face.
Slowly the swordsman looked up at Gin as Chopper went on working with the blonde. This was all his fault. Everything Sanji had been put though was all thanks to this man Gin. The urge to slit open the man from gut to head boiled with in Zoro, and he probably would have acted on it too if Chopper had of let him take his swords in like he wanted to. Yet he was here under a white flag and could not bring in weapons nor act on such strong urges.
"Mmm Marimo." Smiled up the cook now just realizing the man was here. "How's your car?" he then asked and a bit of a giggle then came from the blonde.
Zoro looked down to Sanji and frowned in annoyance. "It will be just fine once you pay for any damages the impound yard did to it." replied the swordsman yet now with a small grin tugging at his lips.
Gin frowned at this. Sanji knew this Zoro guy too? But he was from another gang. What the hell was going on here?
Chopper catching the suspicious look Gin was giving Zoro at once stood up, "We need to get him back to my office. There is more testing I need to do on him." He lied … he was getting good at that of late. At lest this time it was for a good true cause. In truth they just needed to keep Sanji up now for the next hour with out incident and everything should be fine having already checked all the man's vitals by now.
Zoro stood and helped Sanji up though with how much the blonde was leaning on him he should have just carried the bastard.
Sanji now swayed and leaned heavily into Zoro and frowned. "I don't want to go back to that shitty boat…I'm never going back there again!"
"Huh Sanji you need to be looked after." Chopper started to become a little nervous.
Gin frowned more now at this. "He is staying here." came the man's words firmly.
"Psh! Like hell I will…you're not the one who owns me! Fuck... I will go where I want to go and when I want … did you know your hair was green?" Sanji had been all bitchy one moment and now was in wonderment at the green hair on top of Zoro's head and the amazing way the lights caught in the blades of hair. It really was like sun shining through a green meadow. Sanji busted up laughing now at the thought of little forest animals coming to play on top of Zoro's head.
The three men chose to ignore Sanji at that moment.
"He does not want to go with you." Gin pointed out.
"He does not want to stay here." Chopper pointed out, "And I still need to do test on him, unless you want him to die." Chopper then tried.
"We will take him to a hotel." Zoro then spoke up.
"Hai hai! I want to go to the hotel with the Marimo!" Sanji shouted out ever so cheerfully as he then suddenly stood up very straight rising a hand only to then fell over into Zoro.
The swordsman gave a soft grunt as he caught the blonde but was now grinning. Sanji didn't want to go with anyone but him! It left a very satisfied feeling with him.
Still rather reluctant Gin finally released Sanji into their care, and Chopper and Zoro soon left after they had all of Sanji's things, Chopper carrying them.
After an adventures trip down the stairs and to the car Sanji pulled out his keys and tried to go for his car. Zoro held him back, "Oi where do you think your going dartboard brow?"
"Well how else are we going to get to a hotel dummy…?" Sanji then realized he was not getting any closer to his car. Why was that? He saw the ground moving past him.
Zoro had picked Sanji up around the waist and was now carrying him to Chopper's car. "We will take this one…let's see how you feel with out a car for a bit hum." He smirked then helped the laughing blonde now into the back seat.
The moss head had got him good with that, and he kept laughing as Sanji let himself then be put in the backseat and was pleased to see Zoro get in the back with him. At once the blonde curled himself up into the man's lap loving the warm and muscular feel of the man who was now wrapping his arms around him.
As Chopper then took off he let the windows down so the warm summer air could help dry them some as the temperature had not cooled off much even with the growing darkness in the sky. The doctor then looked back at Zoro in his rearview mirror. "Should we really take him to a hotel?"
Sanji nuzzled his head to Zoro's chest and the swordsman watched the blonde play with a button on his shirt. "Yeah…" that would for sure as well mean he would get some time alone with Sanji with out Ace butting in for a bit.
Zoro came out of the hotel bathroom they had checked in, with some towels in his arms and frowned at the blonde, as Sanji was laid back on the only bed in the room. "Hey what did I tell you? You can't go to sleep just yet. There is still 15mins."
The car ride had been an interesting trip to say the least, but Zoro had managed to keep Sanji awake by either pinching or pulling his hair when talking had not worked, and for the bonus Zoro had even managed to talk Chopper into letting Zoro stay alone with Sanji for the night. Zoro was not really sure how he had managed that one but Chopper was willing for whatever reason, and with Sanji's howling of not wanting to see anyone else Luffy agreed they would wait till morning to come over till Sanji was a bit calmer after everything he had been through, and gave Zoro his full trust to keep the blonde there till they did come to talk to Sanji. Zoro had been pretty sure he had heard Ace use some pretty choice words to his brother in the background at that but whatever, Zoro got his way, that's all that mattered to him.
Sanji raised his head up off the bed. "My pants are wet I was going to take them off." He explained rather calmly.
Zoro shifted from one foot to the other. "Why don't you just leave them on, they can dry on you."
Sanji smirked and lay back his head on the bed. "Or you could take them off for me ne?"
Zoro frowned more at this, "No, I think they should be left on."
Sanji now sat up and frowned back at the swordsman. He was still rather free floating as they say but he had enough clarity to know when he was being rejected. "Right, of course." but he also undid his pants. It was now a mission to make the swordsman take him, to prove he could be at lest wanted someway.
Zoro moved over to the bed and dropped the towels on the corner and then squatted down in front of Sanji, putting his hands on top of the blonde's making Sanji's hands pause.
Sanji was frowning again not understanding what the man's game was.
"Stop." Zoro firmly said. It was pretty clear to him what Sanji's had in mind.
"Why?" questioned the blonde, his heart racing now in his chest. Was Zoro about to tell him some nice rejection speech now?
"Cause you don't have to do this." Zoro simply replied then added, "I'm not going to take advantage of you Sanji." There were no smiles, nor hints of jokes to the man's face.
The blonde suddenly felt very small and pulled back his hands away from the swordsman's and looked away. He felt embarrassed, "Look if you don't want to roll around in the dirt just say so, you don't need to make up some shitty story."
Zoro reached up with a hand and softly turned the blonde's head back to him and then leaned into Sanji and placing his lips to the blonde's, keeping it a closed mouth slow tender kiss, as his other arm wrapped around the blonde to hold Sanji to him in a lose grip so not to make the blonde fill trapped.
Sanji's heart nearly was hammering in his chest as he found himself letting his lips pucker in a supple suck that matched the other man's. It was so soft, so gentle, it was such a surprise something this compassionate could come from this muscle head. He leaned himself into the other man and let himself be fully over taken by Zoro.
Zoro drew out the kiss a bit longer at the feel of Sanji relax and lean into him then pulled back his head. "I want you Sanji, but I'm not taking advantage of you when you're like this. Our first time is going to be something you remember, clearheaded."
Sanji blinked looking at the swordsman then finally understood or thought he did and laughed, he could not help it. It was just insanity this man was spewing. "Look I'm offering a for sure thing here, you don't need to do all this mushy shit for me Marimo."
Zoro frowned. "Sanji you don't have to do this."
The blonde just rolled his eyes and lay his arms over Zoro's shoulders, "Let's just fuck and see what you say then humm?"
"No." there was a tone of anger in the swordsman's voice now.
Sanji blinked, "What the hell you shitty bastard?"
"You don't have to whore yourself out to make people like you Sanji." Zoro then replied.
Sanji was in utter shock at what the man had said to him. Out of all the things the shitty bastard could have said, this hit him the hardest. Sanji quickly pulled back crawling up more onto the bed to lay down in the middle of it and curled up on himself. Fucking bastard didn't know what he was talking about.
Zoro watched Sanji retreat and then followed into the bed after him and lay behind the lithe man and wrapped his arms around the man holding him tenderly. "I like you Sanji…I like you with out you needing to do that."
Sanji's breath caught in his throat at the feel of the embrace that demanded nothing in return just asked to be taken. Yet those words, as simple as they were, the bastard had tears trailing down Sanji's cheeks. Even though he had been waiting all this time for someone to say something like this to him… it was not someone who loved him. Like is great and all but Sanji needed love. A soft sniffle came from him. Yet again so close yet so far away.
Zoro pulled Sanji more back into his chest and nuzzled his head to the blonde's as he noticed the clock on the nightstand. The time Chopper had given Zoro for when the blonde could sleep if he wanted to was now here, and so Zoro now just held Sanji hoping above all hope that this would get though to him, high or not.
Sanji woke up his vision blurred mainly due to the bright morning sun shining in his face from the cracked open shades hanging in front of the window that held a lovely view of the city from the second floor they were on. Squinting his eyes he lifted a hand to rub at them, then rolled onto his back and became very aware that he was not alone in bed.
Slowly turning his head to his other side he blinked in surprise to see the Marimo there asleep. Swallowing a lump in his throat Sanji looked down to himself seeing the swordsman's arms still around him. The shitty bastard had held him all night and not tried anything….other then just holding him.
Sanji looked away as he felt the tears swelling up in his eyes and more so when yesterday's events started to play in his head. Last night was a bit fussy but he remembered every thing that shitty Marimo had said to him. Rubbing more at his eyes he was a bit then startled when he sat up only to see person there staring back at him. He glared at the blonde and slowly eased himself off the bed and out of Zoro's hold, not wanting to wake him.
He walked up to the blonde as the other blonde followed suit in the same action. Sanji put his hands on his hips and the other blonde did the same. "People do not love dirt." together they said yet only one voice was herd.
Zoro frowned having woken up once the blonde got off the bed. There was no way he was letting Sanji get away this time. Yet those thoughts were put on hold as he frowned seeing who the blonde was talking to, still even that took a bit of backseat as Zoro's sleepy brain started to wake up more and realize what Sanji was implying with his words. The swordsman sat up and looked at Sanji's mirror image the blonde was facing off with. "You are not dirt." his voice coming out stern, pissed the cook would even think this about himself.
"Tch and who asked you?" came Sanji's childish reply at being caught talking to himself and he combed his fingers though his hair trying to hide more of his left cheek
Zoro moved down to the edge of the bottom of the bed where the large closet mirror was and slide up off the bed and to his feet coming up behind Sanji to look over the blonde's shoulder and this time repeated his words softer. "You are not dirt."
At Zoro's words then Sanji was just not able to stomach looking at him self anymore and he turned his head away.
Zoro took Sanji by his bare shoulders softly, his hands almost massaging into the tense muscles there. "Look at yourself." He then whispered into the blonde's ear.
Sanji not sure why but did as he was asked, and looked back at the mirror image of himself there. He still had the yellowish bruise on his face and the purple bruises on his neck. There was a faint scab line on his chest from where he had been cut and another tiny cut on his bottom lip. He could not see his back but he new there was still blemishes there too. His pants still undone and slightly wet, looking wrinkled all to hell and back, and his hair was in utter disarray not even properly hiding the burn mark on his face that marked him so clearly as the trash, the dirt he was.
Not able to take it again Sanji started to turn his head only to find one of Zoro's hands stopping him, not roughly but enough force in keeping his head from looking away.
"Look at yourself." The swordsman said again.
"Look I get it! I'm worse then dirt ok! I'm disgusting! Just knock it off!" Sanji snapped and jerked now out of the swordsman's hold to whip around and turn fiery, blazing mad eyes on the man.
Zoro was calm however and he just looked at Sanji and shook his head softly no. "I don't see that at all when I look at you. Maybe you're annoying, and arrogant, a bit self centered, not that smart, rather …" he was cut off there.
"Oi! Is there a point or you just looking to rub my nose in the shit a bit more?" Sanji snapped again.
Zoro smirked. "You're strong…that's what I see when I look at you kuso-cook. I see your strength and it's more beautiful to me then you will ever know."
Sanji had been ready for the bastard to give out some other insult but was rather shocked at what was now said. Strength? His strength? "What like fighting?" he softly asked not really sure why he was bothering to have this conversation, yet he could not help but want to know more of what Zoro thought of him now.
"Yeah there is that …but mainly your inner strength. You don't deserve what you been through, but you take it and you make yourself stronger cause of it. Not many people can do that." Zoro reached out to place a hand behind the cook's neck. "Look at yourself." He then repeated his earlier words, trying to guide Sanji back around.
The cook was a little hesitant but in the end gave in, and let him self be turned back around to the mirror and stared at his self.
"You're not dirt, you're worth loving Sanji and I want to prove that to you if you give me a chance. I want to get the chance to love you." Zoro wrapped his arms around the blonde's waist now hugging him from behind. "The word love should not be used so lightly as it is now days. It's powerful and strong just like you and should not be taken for granted." Zoro placed a kiss on the cook's bare shoulder.
Sanji stared in shock at himself watching this other man wrap himself around dirt…or maybe not so much dirt if Zoro was right … the shitty bastard sure sounded so sure of himself…and what's more wanted to love him.
"Not all things are easy and just handed to us. Why should love be any different, but I will work at it with you…" Zoro trailed soft kisses up the blonde's shoulder and neck to his ear and then bit softly on the lobe as his warm breathe came out in a soft whisper. "Do you understand I care now?"
Sanji's eyes were watering again as he kept staring at the sight of himself and Zoro's reflection. Slowly his own arms came up to place over top of Zoro's and not trusting his voice at the moment, he gave a soft head shake of yes. He still could not believe it though. Out of all the people in the world, this shitty moss-head seemed to understand what was so deep inside of him more then anyone else ever had.
"Good…are you fully clearheaded now too?" questioned the swordsman.
The blonde raised a brow at the question, it helping to dry up the tears in his eyes as he nodded again thinking the question seemed a bit odd, and wondered what meaning it could have.
Zoro smirked all the more and let one of his hands trail down the blonde's stomach and into the already opened pants to take hold of the blonde's limp member as he bit a little harder now on Sanji's ear lobe and growing out through his teeth. "Good that means I don't need to hold back anymore."
Sanji blushed in embarrassment at the change so quickly, his breath catching in his throat as he felt the swordsman's strong powerful hand gripping at him, rubbing him into arousal. The touch felt so good and he leaned back into Zoro letting the man just fondle him in his pants. It was odd but the sense of being with Zoro now like this was almost like coming out of a nice long shower and laying down in clean sheets and blankets just from the dryer. A small smirk came from Sanji. He guessed he could almost say the swordsman remained him of home, or at lest what a home should feel like.
Zoro lifted his other hand and used it to guild the blonde's head to the side so he could get at those rosebud lips again, this time fully claiming them in a deep open mouth kiss letting his tongue conquer the new found territory and making the blonde's tongue bow in submit to his. It left Zoro with a heady filling. He knew the blonde would be a treat to have but the more he touched, and the more he kissed, he realized he had never had any clue just how much till now.
Sanji whimpered in the kiss, his hips pushing forward to get at more of the man's touches wanting just so much more, then lifted one of his arms, reaching back with it to place his hand on the back of Zoro's head to push the man's face more to his. Sanji let his tongue then take on a counter attack and invade Zoro's mouth, letting their tongues battle in the new war field till Zoro pulled back and whispered, "Stay." then left the blonde alone fully pulling away from him and Sanji watched in the mirror as the swordsman walked off to the bathroom.
Zoro came back but a moment latter with a small hand bottle of lotion that was one of the hotel's courteous and removed his shirt tossing it to the floor on his way back to Sanji leaving him in only his pants and underwear much like the blonde. Zoro once again took up his position behind Sanji, "Lean forward…" Already he was pulling Sanji's pants down his narrow hips and Zoro went to his knees, further pulling down the pants.
Sanji did as he was told find it kind of hot to submit to the muscle head, he could always flip the tables later, he tried to assure himself. The cook lay each hand on the mirror in front of him, bending over some, this bringing his face rather closer to the mirror and getting a good close up on his own face. His eyes and head cast down on that revelation and stared to the floor waiting and wondering what the swordsman had planed.
"Keep your head up." ordered the swordsman as he helped lift each of Sanji's legs up and out of his pants tossing them then to the side to get them out of the way. He then squirted the lotion in his hand and looked up at Sanji to make sure he had in fact done as Zoro had told him, and only once the blonde was looking at himself again did Zoro start. His hand came up and wiped a large amount of lotion in the crack of the blonde's ass in one full motion not stopping as he let his hand then run down over to Sanji's bare nut sack and on up the man's front along his member. Zoro's hand then curling around the ever growing hard member and stroked it down then back up in a few tight handed pumps to give the blonde a teasing taste before his hand slipped his grip from Sanji's cock and back down to his nuts and again back along his ass crack. The swordsman letting his fingers then see-saw between the hard toned ass cheeks.
The blonde stared into his own face before him as his body shook with need from the teasing it was getting. His legs spread a little wider, his ass sticking out a little more wanting one of those fingers so badly to probe inside of him. As Zoro worked his fingers to play more between his ass cheeks he could see the hungry desire building there on his face in the mirror, and he had to gulp down a breath of air as his face started to flush.
Zoro added more lotion to his hand and rubbed it into the cook's ass crack getting it good and slick, only to follow up by letting his the tip of his thumb rub at the opening there in the crack forcing in a bit of the lotion then letting his thumb tip teeter in and out of the hole working it to widen a bit before then suddenly sliding in his whole thumb in down to the base taking pleasure in the cry he now got from Sanji.
Sanji bit on his bottom lip watching his image before him do the same as his ass now was repeatedly fucked with the swordsman's thumb, it pausing now and then to curl up inside the blonde making him cry all that much more from the extra stretch he was made to endure. His hips slowly rocking getting a craving for it, "Fuck you're a tease." Sanji could not help but whine out.
The green haired man grinned, "Thank of it as payback." Yet he showed the blonde some mercy, somewhat, by removing his thumb to replace it with his two fingers, index and middle. He pushed them in deep finding out the different ranges in the cook's voice he could pull out of the man as he worked his fingers into a fast hard fingering that was to Zoro's delight getting the blonde panting, and grunting, and rocking his hips all the more.
Just when Sanji didn't know how much more of this he was going to be able to take, Zoro pulled back again, and Sanji heard the sound of pants being undone then dropping to the floor. Sanji's face took on a look of excitement and he licked his lips watching his pink tongue slowly lick over his full lips. He wanted to see Zoro, wanted to know just how big that cock was, but from how he was now he could not. Sanji getting the desire to be to strong in him tried to turn his head over his shoulder but was stop by a strong hand on his neck.
"Keep your eyes on the mirror, don't look anywhere but it." came Zoro's voice in a whisper of heated lustful tones. The swordsman then sat down on the foot of the bed and pulled the blonde to him making Sanji walk backwards a few steps till he helped guide the man to bend, "Easy now…" Zoro warned not wanting the blonde to get it all at once and be in pain.
Sanji's heart was beating so fast in his chest as he followed instructions. He had never been this compliant before other when he was being made to serve, he had no clue what the fuck was coming over him, but as he eased himself down onto Zoro's lap and felt the swordsman line up his cock to Sanji's pucker hole the blonde forget it was even a problem anymore, and groaned out in utter delight as his ass was fed a large thick meaty rod up inside it. His hips wiggled as he adjusted himself on the tip of Zoro's dick trying to twist screw himself further but Zoro now gripped his hips keeping the blonde in place only allowing him a taste. Frustration pulled at the blonde as he watched brows narrow in, dear god it looked like a fucking pout! This only made him pout that much more at the mirror image of himself and reached down to take hold of Zoro's arms and jerk on them as he demanded, "More… more you shitty bastard!"
Zoro leaned in and ran his tongue over a clear patch of skin on Sanji's back keeping away from the still lightly red marks the man had there. He wanted to question who put them there so he could track the son of a bitch down, the same for the other wounds the blonde had but he knew Sanji would not tell him, at lest not yet anyways, but he would work to gain the cook's trust, and once he finally got it he would never let anyone hurt Sanji like this again. It was all going to take time, and Sanji was an investment worth making.
The blonde shook hard as Zoro finally pulled him down by the hips making him take a little bit more. The Swordsman using him like a weight lifting and raising him by the hips, each time Zoro making him take a bit more cock up his ass. Fuck! The bastard was long … and fucking thick too. He could not help whine and moan every time a bit of new friction was given. Yet all in due time Sanji found him self setting fully down on the man's lap with Zoro's pulsing hard cock all the way up his ass. "Fu, fu, fu!" Sanji breathed hard through his teeth his cheeks puffing slightly as he stared at himself in the mirror watching his face twist up in such a sluty look of wanting more. He tried to turn his head away again only to be stopped yet again by Zoro pushing his head back, to be made to look at himself again. His cheeks blushed brightly. "Bastard…" he whimpered out and wiggled in the man's lap.
Zoro was grinning like a cat with cream. His hands now moving over to the front of the blonde's stomach just to run over it and feel those hard abs and muscles under that, … well cream skin. He licked at the back of Sanji's neck and then rolled his hips up groaning out in the delight of the tight clamped feel of Sanji around his dick. Fuck if there was ever such a thing as heaven Zoro had to be in it right now. Slowly he kept the ease pace of lowering and lifting Sanji on and off his lap, working the blonde to be able to take it faster bit by bit.
Sanji let his legs wrap back behind the swordsman's legs as a faster beat was now set making the cook's toes curl in sheer pleasure of being stuff with Zoro. "Oh fuck Marimo! More, more!" he begged his face so red as he watched himself do so. It was so fucking embarrassing watching him self act like this for the swordsman, yet he could not find the will with in himself to stop.
"Mm you want more?" Zoro asked in a teasing voice.
"Fuck yes, you bastard." Sanji cried gripping at the man's arms again.
"Then hold on…" Zoro purred and stood up with Sanji still on his cock. The swordsman's arms holding the blonde in place to him and finding help with Sanji's legs wrapped around his legs, to help keep them in this position. Zoro made the few adjustments needed then took on a martial arts horse stance, this also making it easier on Sanji's part to keep his legs around Zoro's, to keep the support of Sanji off the ground and being worn on Zoro's dick like the latest fashion.
Sanji lifted his arms back hooking then behind Zoro's neck and looked over himself stretched out there in the mirror on Zoro. He licked his lips. He was starting to like this being made to watch shit now. His eyes traveling on over himself and the man he was draped over, as Zoro started to find rhythm. Sanji could hardly wait; he could feel the tension in the man's body. Something big was about to come. Sanji's hips rocked softly as his own cock pressed to his belly, and in the mirror Sanji could see the glistening drop hints of precum show it's self from his member.
Zoro narrowed his eyes finally done with his warm-up and gave the blonde then what he had been whining for. The swordsman's hips jerked hard to life nail his cock up in the cook and just as quickly removing it some, as he then repeated this in a drilling fast motion. Faster and harder he worked himself, setting a challenge to out do each thrust to make it a little harder, a little faster.
The cook's whole body clenched and he gasped out in utter shock, and delight. He had never gotten anything like this before, it was fucking mind blowing. He was whining and screaming all at once as he tried like damn to hold on. The man was fucking him senseless making very cry he did give out jittery sounding from the fast fucking motion that matched the swordsman's own cries and groans. Sanji watched himself getting fucked up the ass, his cock bouncing and slapping against him now from chaos of speed Zoro was setting.
Slowly down for a moment Zoro shifted his hands so he could take the blonde by the shoulders, his fingers curling over tops of the slender curves, and then pulled down on Sanji now, to match each time in thrusts with his hips, to make for the maxim workout of using his whole body in effort to help with fucking the blonde. He could feel his muscles burn and strain and he groaned in pleasure as Sanji's ass clenched around him. Fuck yes! This was what sex was meant to be like! Power, strength, beauty and uncontrollable pleasure from the effort of it all, yes this was what Zoro had been yearning to have and wanting to share with the blonde.
Sanji's cock was now weeping out tears of cum, the fast jiggling movements it was being made to bounce in making the drops fly every which way, and Sanji shamefully watched never being more turned on in his life at the display his body was making let alone the mess. It was not long after that the full show came, "Oh fuck… fuck I'm going to... I'm…" he whined out between his screams and Zoro just fucked him that much harder for it.
Zoro pulled his head to the side, keeping up the hard fast pace as he watched in the mirror Sanji cry and scream out while he busted sending his cum to splatter over the mirror, floor and even him self. The swordsman shook in desire at the sight of it and followed suit cumming up inside Sanji shooting a load hard and deep making them both shiver and whine out pitifully. Still the man was hard up inside the blond having not got his fill, but he removed the cook from him and tossed him face first in the bed, not at all gently.
He had just been in the after glow of it all when suddenly he was flying though the air and landed in the bed "Hrph!" he rolled over onto his side to glare over at the grinning swordsman. "Asshole you could hav- egh!" he was then yanked down by his ankles to the edge of the bed towards the man and his legs were poses up in the air spread eagle. Sanji panted trying to catch his breath yet it was hard now as he was getting his first full look at the nude swordsman. Fuck he looked even bigger then he felt. Sanji swallowed a few times as his mouth watered while looking over those now shining tanned muscles from sweat. It seriously felt like the room just went up in temperature for the cook. Zoro was a fucking masterpiece. He never had seen one's body so well defined as this man's.
The swordsman now paused as he caught the look on Sanji's face looking him over with such desire. It made Zoro's pride swell and set his heart into skipping a beat due to him being able to cause such a look like that from Sanji by his appearance alone. He let go of one of Sanji's ankles and leaned in down to the man his lips hungry for another kiss and just as he was about to reach Sanji's open waiting mouth a banging of a knock came on the door.
"Zoro open this fucking door right now!" yelled Ace from the other side of the door. There was soft murmurings of some people with him.
Zoro looked over to the door and frowned at it. Just fucking great.
Sanji as well was now looking to the door with worry. He really didn't want Ace to see him like this, and was not sure if he was ready to see Ace just yet anyways after yesterday. Sanji was not ready to face that rejection the fire starter had for him or so Sanji thought even after what had happened with Zoro just now. He still needing to figure what his feelings for the swordsman were anyways, though Sanji would be lying if he said he didn't like Zoro. Sanji then looked back to Zoro. "I … huh I'm going to slip into the bathroom to get cleaned up." his voice almost coming out in a whisper.
Zoro let him up and went and got his own pants as Sanji got all of his things and hurried into the bathroom shutting and locking the door. Once Zoro had on his pants he headed over to the front door with a frown on his face. Fucking Ace, was all he could think, just messing up a prefect morning.
As soon as the door was open a crack Ace stormed in pushing the door into the room. He was followed then by Chopper, and Luffy. Luffy having thought it best only a few meet Sanji to make it easier on the man, and in fact had thought Ace should have waited back at the ship, but Ace was not having it. He had wanted to come over ever since the call had come in from Chopper about what had happened.
"Where is Sanji?" Chopper asked his eyes though kept flickering from Zoro to Ace.
Ace was looking over the room over, his nostrils flaring at the scene the room was in. Lotion bottle on the floor with someone's underwear by it … the splatters on the mirror closet, the bed in a mess. The fire starter's temper flared to an all time high and he launched himself at Zoro only to get stopped by his brother. "You son of a bitch! How fucking dare you take advantage of him at a time like this!" he then yelled struggling in Luffy's hold to try and get at the green haired man.
"Fuck you Ace! I didn't ever force shit on the cook unlike you!" yelled Zoro his anger rising at the accusation and was held back by Chopper.
"Come on you guys stop it!" called out the little doctor.
"You don't even fucking love Sanji! You're to busy being in love with Luffy! At lest I love Sanji!" Ace then yelled out what almost everyone already knew, yet still it was a low blow.
Zoro's anger rose in his embarrassment, "Yeah you love him so much you had to stuff your fucking tongue down that old man's throat right in front of him!" Zoro replied trying to make his words hurt just as much, as Chopper was losing the fight of keeping him back.
"That's it! It's about damn time someone kicked your ass and knocked you off your high hoarse!" Ace yelled back.
"Yeah well let me know when a real man comes along to do it. …one that does not go around rapping people in backseats!" Zoro then shot out that last jab just to piss Ace off a bit more.
Ace got now in arm's length of Zoro, "You fucking bastard stop saying that!"
Suddenly then Ace and Zoro were in a world of pain as their heads were knocked together hard, making each man stumble back and nearly falling over, each having taken a blow to the back of their heads then there foreheads having crash into each other's.
After delivering the blows Luffy pushed back his strawhat some and said nothing just walked over to the bathroom door and listened. Frowning he then tried the bathroom door finding it locked but forced it making the lock pop open anyways and jerked open the bathroom door to find the room empty and the window in it wide open.
At once Luffy rushed to the window sticking his head out of it looking around then spotted Sanji on the edge of the second floor building inching his way over to a metal pipe drain.
Sanji had been cleaning himself off figuring a shower could wait for later and just getting dressed to try and look presentable as he could, when he started to hear the things the two men were yelling to each other. He was shocked that Zoro was in love with someone else after all the things he had said and hurt then only more hurt at the reminder that Ace had been with Smoker on the beach clearly meaning Ace was just lying about loving him. Now he had the two up fighting over him for no reason. Things only seemed to be getting worse. Maybe Smoker was right after all. Maybe he needed to not think about his own needs and what was best for everyone else. He had crawled out the window after that thinking it best to go with out goodbyes.
"Sanji!" cried out Luffy with worry and started to come after him but was stopped by the look on the blonde's face. Hit struck the gang leader's heart deep at the heartache there. The moment then faded as Sanji's looked away and grabbed onto the pipe caused it to come away from the building. Clearly it would not do for the escape route the blonde had been hoping for.
"Sanji stop that's not safe!" Luffy warned as Ace and Zoro now came into the bathroom with worry.
Sanji looked at the long drop down. He could not make it with out breaking something at such a height, his eyes then scanned the area.
"Give me your hand Sanji!" Luffy called out, letting only his hand reach out to the blonde worried the blonde would jump if he tried now to come out after him.
Yet Sanji jumped anyways. He used a foot to push himself off the building and jumped far out into the air. It was a high risk what he was trying for, but that was what he was known for. Mr. Prince never failed. Sanji landed a foot down on the moving truck going down the street below and the blonde then fell backwards on the mental large truck box like top. As the truck kept on moving Sanji was made to roll by the force of the movement and fell off the truck. His hand coming up just in time then catching the corner of the truck's top keeping himself from falling into the street and on coming traffic as the truck then carried the blonde away.
Luffy had held his breath at the jump then cried out again, "Sanji!" when the blonde had fallen backwards on the truck. The gang leader was thankful the blonde had made it ok but upset Sanji had even tried something that dangerous in the first place and he knew just what had prompted his future cook to do such an act.
Luffy slowly pulled back from the window and turned around, a dark shadow coming over the man's face as he looked to Ace and Zoro. He moved to the two stunned men who were not sure what had happened but each Ace and Zoro thinking clearly not something good had taken place with Sanji with the look now on Luffy's face.
The gang leader reached out painfully grabbing his elder brother, and his second in command, by one of their ears and led them back into the main room of the hotel room as he said in a dark ominous tone, "We need to have a talk."
The two men were only able to follow their leader, as both Ace and Zoro were lead by an ear, each whining out, "Ow, ow, ow!"
A/N's: *bows deeply in apology* I'm so sorry I took such a long break from this story. Hopefully this chapter makes up for it ne? I just wanted to make this chapter really great and tried a few other writing works to help me build up Zoro and Sanji together better in my mind, to make it good for you all. I hope it worked!
Also why it took me so long was cause I was having a bit of computer problems and then there was all the distractions like shinny objects and stuff and then the worst yet! I could not find the right mood music T.T I really need to get more songs…any suggestions? No rap though eww and I don't like much R&B, I like rock form anytime period and J-pop though! And many other styles of music, I'm open too much as long as it's a good song! ^.^
Side note! Yay for Zoro making nookie like training! xD
