"Can we, Zoro?" Luffy started to whine, "Please?" "Why do you want to so badly?" Zoro asked, slightly annoyed of his captain for waking him up from his nap. "Cause it's going to be fun."
Zoro rolled his good eye at him. "Fine," he said, giving up, "but after this, no more double dates." "Yosh," Luffy chirped, "I'm gonna go tell Usopp and Nami right now." And with that, the young captain left. 'How did I end up dating this guy?' the young swordsman thought and then went back to sleep.
"Zoro said that he's okay with it," he heard Luffy say. 'Darn my sensitive hearing,' Zoro cursed but still slept.
*That night*
As night came, the four got ready for their night out and went to a cheap, but decent, restaurant in the nearest town, which was navy base-free.
"Not bad," Zoro said, looking at Nami, who was the one who made the reservations. "Well I have my quirks," she said, "but making reservations wasn't that easy, though." "She had to buy her way to make those," Usopp explained.
"So what are we waiting for?" Luffy said, excited, "Let's go in." As they went in, they got a good look in the inside. "Wow," both Luffy and Usopp said in amazement. "Oh look, Usopp," the young captain said, "an arcade." He then pointed to the said game room. "Oi, Nami. Can we have some money so we can play?" the two begged.
The young navigator sighed. "Fine," she said as she started to dig around her purse then giving them the money, "here's 200 berries each. Don't ask for any more." Both captain and sniper cheered and then ran into the arcade.
"How did we both end up with those two bakas?" Zoro grunted. "The world may never know," Nami answered. They, then, went up to the server. "Good evening," he greeted, "did you make a reservation?"
"Yes, we did," Nami answered, "a table for four under Nami." He then looked at the list of reservations and nodded. "Right this way, madam." Both navigator and swordsman followed him. "Oh, and, before you go," Nami started, "if you see two guys, one with a straw hat with an X-shaped scar on his chest and one with a long nose with sniper goggles, then let them in. They're our dates."
The waiter nodded and left. "Why did you need to give him a full description of those two?" Zoro asked. "Just in case someone who looks exactly like them or wearing the same outfits comes in. Remember the fake Straw Hat thing back at Sabaody?" "Hm. Makes sense."
"Speaking of those two, how long do you think it would take for them to spend all that money you gave them?" "Well, it should be at least 25 berries a game, so I'd say 30 minutes no more." Zoro just chuckled.
"Shall we look for what we're going to order while we wait?" he asked. "Sure, why not." Nami said, "though, I have a pretty good idea on what Luffy wants. And we're going to need to buy lots of it." "And Usopp would eat anything as long as it doesn't have mushrooms in it," Zoro added.
They, then, looked at each other, their eyebrows rose. "How come we know so much about each other's dates?" the young navigator asked. "Well, this shouldn't be a surprise to you," Zoro said, "I mean, we've been living under the same roof for a long time now." "Eh. Good point."
Before they can order, both Luffy and Usopp came back, but not empty handed. "Look at what we won," Luffy said with a wide grin. They had several huge stuffed animals and a few small ones.
"How in the world did you win all these prizes?" both Zoro and Nami asked, shocked. "We played a lot of games that gives tickets," Luffy said, "we're just good at all of them, I guess." "Well, give most of the credit to me, Captain Usopp, the number one game player in the world," Usopp exaggerated.
"Number one in the world?" Luffy shouted in excitement. 'Give me a break,' both Zoro and Nami thought, sweat dropping. "Well, I'll talk about it when we get back to the Sunny," Usopp continued, "don't want Chopper to miss out." 'Thank Kami...if we actually have one,' the young swordsman thought.
"Anyways," Nami started, "we should order our food before it gets too late." "Ou," the other three agreed.
*On their way back to Sunny*
After they got finished with their dinner, they started to head back to the ship. Surprisingly, both captain and sniper were on their best behavior, especially Luffy, who didn't steal anyone's food.
As for the prizes, Usopp gave Nami one of the bigger prizes that he won which was a giant teddy bear. Luffy would've given Zoro one, but he knew that he wasn't into that kind of stuff, so they decided to give the rest of the crew one, including Sunny as a decoration.
"Well that was fun," Luffy said, carrying about half the prizes in one arm and holding Zoro's hand in the other, "we should do it again sometime." "I agree with Luffy," Usopp said doing the same as his captain except he was holding Nami's hand instead, "the arcade, especially, was fun."
"I can't believe I'm saying this, but I actually had fun tonight," Zoro said. "Well, we did spend the rest of the dinner money on the arcade," Nami said, "which was actually worth doing."
"Can't believe we actually tied in DDR, Boxing, Air Hockey, and Racing," the young captain said nudging his swordsman. "How can you actually tie in several of those games, anyways?" the young navigator asked. "I don't know," both captain and first mate answered.
"Well the best part is is that we all had fun tonight," the young sniper pointed out and the others agreed. As soon as they got to the Sunny, they started to go back to their cabins for the night, except for Zoro, who has night duty for the next several hours.
"Can I stay with Zoro tonight?" Luffy asked. Zoro turned to him and grinned. "Sure, why not," he answered and they went up to the Crow's Nest.
"Did you have a good night tonight?" Zoro asked as they settled on one of the side benches of the room and Luffy nodded. "But the best part was that Zoro was there, too," he added and his swordsman lightly chuckled.
"Oh and before I forget," the young captain searched through his pockets and found what he was looking for, "I got something that you might like. I knew that you weren't into stuffed animals, so I've decided to get you this instead." He held up a small box.
"What is it?" Zoro asked, a bit curious. "Just open it up and see," Luffy said, handing the box over to his first mate. As soon as he opened it and looked what was inside, he smiled. It was a necklace with a piece of jewelry that was carved into three swords hanging onto the chain.
"When I saw it, I thought of you since you use Santoryu," Luffy explained, "I would've gotten something else for you, but that's the only thing I found that I thought that you might like."
"I love it, Luffy," Zoro said, grinning to show his gratitude, "thank you so much." His captain giggled, a small blush appearing in his cheeks. The young swordsman, then, started to put the necklace on. "A perfect fit," he said, "I bet it's like winning prizes from a carnival instead of an arcade with all the prizes you and Usopp won."
"Yeah," Luffy agreed, "we were both surprised when we first saw the prize rack. So we decided to play all the games where you can earn tickets and try to win as many prizes we could."
"So why did that guy told you guys to not come back and pick anymore prizes?" "Because we almost took all the prizes and they want us to leave some for other people." Zoro sweat dropped at this. "So who won the most prizes?" "Hmm. I don't know. After about a hundred tickets from just one game, we lost count after that."
"You won that many in one game?" "Yeah. Who knew that ski ball was that easy?" They both chuckled. "We should ask Franky if he could build us an arcade," Luffy said after a while of silence, "that would be awesome, don't you think?" Zoro just shrugged. "If there's ever any room on board, then sure."
Before they said anything else, the young captain went to a leaver and pulled it, making the roof of the Crow's Nest open, seeing the stars in the night sky, and went back and sat on Zoro's lap. "You just love gazing at the stars, don't you?" "Yeah. It reminds me of home when we used to look up at the stars when we were kids."
"Who? You and Ace?" Luffy nodded. "Did Zoro ever had anyone to look up at the stars with him?" Zoro shook his head no. "You were, actually, the first one to share that moment with me." He, then, gave the other a tight embrace. "Well, then, that makes me special, doesn't it?" Luffy asked with a giggle.
"Indeed it does," Zoro answered, chuckling with him. Luffy, then, turned to Zoro and gave him a kiss and his swordsman kissed him back. "Love you, Zoro." "Love you too, Luffy." They, then, gave each other another kiss and gazed at the stars for the rest of the night.
A/N: Yeah, I'm sort of a UsoNa fan as well...and LuNa...and ZoNa...I don't know, I just like those pairings. But it depends on the other pairings like ZoLu for UsoNa, ZoroxOC for LuNa, and some random pairing for ZoNa. I'm kind of a fan of SaNa (Sanji and Nami) but not as much, though.
Anyways R&R please. I'll give cookies to those who do. :D
