"Why are you here again?"

"I told you we were going to talk and you shouldn't even try getting out of it." Nami sat at the end of his bed watching him. Zoro currently had his face buried in a pillow as he lay face down on his bed.

He turned his face to the side to speak clearly, "What am I supposed to say?"

"Whatever you want."

"..."

"And your not allowed to say you don't want to say anything. How about you tell me what you did today?"

"Why?"

"Because you don't talk about it."

"I woke up, I got yelled at, I took a bath, I slept more."

"You didn't eat?"

Zoro shrugged.

"Why did you get yelled at?"

"Sanji thought I raped you or something." Zoro shrugged again.

"But that's not what happened."

"Why don't you tell him that?"

"I can if you want."

"No. that would just tell him we were talking and then blah blah blah."

"Hmm."

"Shouldn't you be talking back? You know, like a conversation?"

"But this is about you talking."

"Sounds like a stupid therapy session."

"It is."

"And I need one why?"

"Because its not healthy to only let your feelings out when your depressed drunk and went through what sounded like an awful experience."

Zoro grumbled incoherently into his pillow.

"So anything else on your mind?"

he sighed heavily and rolled over onto his back. "Thinking bout quitting my job."

"Why?"

Zoro shrugged again, "Don't feel like doing it anymore and it gives me free time to do larger fights. There's one happening in a couple of days I'm taking."

"How much if you win?"

"A lot. Enough to pay two months worth of bills by itself, at least."

"How often are you going to take these fights?"

"When my wounds heal from the other fight."

"I don't know if that sounds good for your health..."

"Should be fine, I can take smaller fights if it takes too long to heal."

"Chopper wont let you."

"Then I wont tell Chopper."

"Zoro," Nami started sadly. "It really is starting to sound like your out to get yourself hurt."

"I'm not going to die."

"That's not what I said."

Zoro looked at her, she looked sad and genuinely concerned. A bit odd for her.

"I wont get myself hurt on purpose."

"Swear or I wont believe you." she said, childishly pouting.

"I swear. Jeez."

There was a comfortable silence and they both got lost in their thoughts.

"Do you want to tell me more about what happened the other night?" Nami suddenly asked.

"Not really."

"Will you tell me why you were crying?" she said gently.

Zoro groaned when she said the word crying. He never cried over something stupid like that dammit! It made that much worse when he was reminded about it.

"I was drunk."

"That's not an answer." she said disapprovingly.

"Because..."

"Because?" she prodded.

"Because it was pathetic."

"What was?"

"...me."

"Zoro?"

Zoro sighed heavily. "I was so pathetically sad and it was upsetting."

"Why would you say that?"

"Why wouldn't I? I was imagining I was with someone else the entire time I was with him. Do you know what its like to open your eyes to someone and get disappointed every time because you really wished it was someone else? Is that not pathetic? I even almost said his name."

"Zoro..."

"Sad right?"

Nami laid down next to him, staring at the ceiling.

"That doesn't make you pathetic. Just means your life sucks."

"Real comforting." Zoro snorted.

"You feel better don't you?"

"Sure." Zoro said unemotionally.

"Then I'm charging you."

"WHAT? You made me do this!"

"Yeah and you feel better so you owe me now." a small smile started to form on her lips.

"Money grabbing witch!"

"Hmmm, should I just add it to your interest? Whats it at now? 100 percent? Its so hard to keep track."

"You work at a bank you...!" Zoro cut himself off.

"Smooth save. How about you buy me something."

"Like what?" Zoro grumbled, giving in.

"Take me clothes shopping."

Zoro groaned painfully, he hated it when Nami dragged him along!

"You don't get out enough anyways. What would you do instead? Shut yourself inside, drinking, avoiding Sanji, maybe masturbate or something." she shrugged nonchalantly.

"Whats wrong with you?"

"Hey, your a guy. Guys always, I mean always think about sex."

Zoro just stared at her.

"What? Am I wrong?" she said defensively.

"Yeah, you are. Why do you even want to know?" he demanded.

"You're not a very good gay best friend." she pouted at him.

"Do you want me to gush about what clothes look good and describe my sex life?" he said sarcastically.

she hesitated then her face lit up in a huge blush. "...what exactly do...you do with guys...or imagine doing?" she asked shyly.

"A-are you serious?"

she gave a small nod.

"Why do you want to know?" Zoro asked a bit shakily, he felt his own blush rise.

She shrugged. "I just though...it was kind of...sexy."

Zoro blinked and looked up at the ceiling again. "Did you just say I'm sexy?"

"Technically I said two guys together was sexy, but I guess if they were ugly I wouldn't. But anyone would be lying if they said you weren't attractive. Its not like I want to do anything with you, your like family." she made a small gagging noise.

"Oh...uh. What did you want to know?"

"How does it work?"

"Uh, like actually doing it? Or...before that?"

"Well do you even know how it works? I mean your a virgin."

"I still know how it works... I just haven't done it."

"Well?"

"Oh...well you have to...um prepare it first. Your...your ass...or it could tear... it, it can be stretched out by...by fingering." Zoro trailed off, embarrassed by the topic.

"...Did you look this up?"

"Part of it." Zoro admitted. "The rest... I kinda picked up..."

"I thought you've never been with someone before?"

"Not really. Just stuff like...like foreplay. Sometimes they would try to get me to go further and told me how it works but I didn't want to." Zoro found himself whispering.

"When was that?" Nami whispered back.

"In high school. Raging hormones and all."

"One more question?" Nami asked.

Zoro nodded.

"Do you always be the...girl in the relationship? It sorta sounded like that when you talked about that guy at the bar."

"No...it depends... I usually don't go looking for guys, if I meet one they usually come on to me...if or when I...accept, the situation usually is in their favor. But I usually don't like it when they...dominate I guess."

"What about with Sanji?"

"...when I end up dreaming about it...he's usually the guy. I wouldn't mind...if he wanted to...dominate." a small tremor went up Zoro's spine as he said dominate. He was almost drooling thinking about all his perverted dreams.

He looked over at Nami after shaking himself out of his lapse of control. He was amused to see that she was drooling

Sanji's voice carried down to them from the kitchen, calling for dinner.

"Lets go eat. Chopper will get mad if you spent the days you were supposed to be regaining your health drunk and starving." Nami stated, wiping her mouth with the back of a hand. Zoro laughed at her and got a hard punch to the head.
