It was a good Friday morning when a young green-haired man woke up due to his alarm clock. After shuting it off, he got out of bed and stretched, feeling his back and limbs crack. As he heads out of his room, he smells something good coming from the kitchen. So he follows his nose and finds his roommate, and boyfriend, cooking breakfast.
"Good morning, Zoro," the young raven-haired teen (A/N: he's 19 so he's still considered as a teen/young adult, technically speaking) greeted. "Good morning, Luffy," the older greeted back. Luffy then gave Zoro a cup of coffee. "Thanks." The younger grinned and went back to cooking.
After breakfast was done, Luffy served it for the both of them, having pancakes, eggs, and toast. "I didn't know that you can cook," Zoro said, impressed with the other's cooking as he ate it. "Yeah, Sanji taught me," Luffy said, "it took a long time to learn how to do so, though," he added with a chuckle. Before he started eating, he went to the other and embraced him and gave him a peck on the cheek.
"Happy birthday, Zoro," he said, making the young swordsman grin. Zoro then grabbed Luffy, setting him on his lap. "Oh, I forgot to tell you that I called your work yesterday and asked them if you can have today off," Luffy started, "Franky was completely fine with it and he also said that he will see you on Monday and to wish you a happy birthday."
Zoro worked at a welding company part-time and as a kendo instructor half-time while being a full-time student, along with Luffy, at New World University while Luffy worked as a martial arts instructor half-time. The two met back in high school with Luffy admiring Zoro's hair when they first met, since it's naturally green, and hasn't left the older alone since. Their relationship grew more and more closer than ever and then, after graduation, Zoro asked Luffy out and has been for two years now.
"Why did you do that?" Zoro asked, not mad at the other, but more like curious of what he's going to do. "Well, I wanted to spend the entire day with Zoro," Luffy said, "we haven't done that in awhile because of school and work and all that." "But we live together. What more do you want?"
The straw hat-wearing teen snuggled into his swordsman's chest. "I know, but it feels like we don't spend enough time together. Plus, it's your birthday, so I want to do something special for you." The young swordsman smiled his rarely-seen sweet smile. "Okay then," he said, "what shall we do first?"
"Well, I was thinking that we should do a bit of morning sparring, if you like, then go ice-skating, go out for dinner, and do whatever for the remander of the day." "That sounds good," Zoro said. He then leaned down to the other and gave him a kiss.
After the two were finished with breakfast, they went out back to the training grounds, which was like an outdoor dojo, and sparred the entire morning with Zoro using all three of his swords and Luffy just using his bare hands. The two went all out and, at the end, it ended up as another tie. "Man, can't remember the last time we fought like that," Luffy huffed, "it felt like it's been ages."
"I can tell that you have gotten even stronger," Zoro said. "Yeah, well it was thanks to Rayleigh-sensei who trained me the past couple of years. And I would say the same for you." "Well, if I want to surpass Mihawk-sensei, then I'm going to have to train a lot more." Luffy just giggled.
"Well, we should clean up before we go out," Zoro suggested as he got up and helped Luffy up. "Yeah," the younger chirped. So the two went to hit the shower.
After that was done, they went to dress up appropriately for the weather and and went to the ice-skating ring downtown. As soon as they got there, they went to the shack to rent two pairs of ice-skates. "This is going to be so much fun," Luffy said excitedly, jumping up and down after he he puts the skates on.
"It has been awhile since we've been here, hasn't it?" Zoro asked and the other nodded. "This is where we both confessed our feelings for each other and when you asked me out," Luffy said. "It was, huh," Zoro said with a light chuckle, "so are you ready?" he asked as soon as he got his skates on and Luffy nodded excitedly.
As soon as they walked towards the ring, they saw a familiar blue-nosed puppy. "Hey look. There's Chopper," Luffy pointed out. As soon as the said puppy heard and recognized Luffy's voice, he ran towards him excitedly. "Luffy! Zoro!" The said couple looked up to see Nami, Usopp, and Sanji walking towards them. "Hey you guys," Luffy greeted. "So what are you and marimo doing here?" Sanji asked.
"Well, it's Zoro's birthday, so we're spending the entire day together." "Heh. So this moss head can actually go out doing something fun for once," the young chef said. "WHAT DID YOU SAY, ERO-COOK?" Zoro yelled. "WHAT DID YOU CALL ME, MARIMO?" Sanji yelled back. "Quit it!" Nami yelled, punching the two on the head before anyone else could get hurt from their usual fights. "Mellorine!" Sanji cooed and Zoro just rolled his eyes.
"If it wasn't your birthday, Zoro, then I would've risen your debt. But, since it is, I'm gonna lower it by 20 percent. And that's all you get." "Thanks," Zoro mumbled, not really caring and Luffy just stood there, laughing at the scene.
The group just talked for awhile and then went on the skating ring, all having a blast, for half the day. "Wow, that was so much fun," Luffy said as they walked towards their car. "Next time, we should bring more money for lunch," Usopp said. The group hasn't really ate anything for lunch since they didn't really bring much money with them.
"Well, I still do have money left over, but I'm saving that for dinner tonight since we're going out," Luffy said, "would you like to come along?" "Sure, why not," Nami said. "If Nami-swan goes, then I'll go as well," Sanji declared. "Sure. I don't really have anything going on tonight, anyways," Usopp said.
As soon as they dropped Chopper off at Usopp's house, the five went to the Baratie where Sanji and his father, Zeff, who was the head chef and owner of the restraunt, worked at. The small get together and celebration turned out to be a huge party, even if it was only the five of them. It wasn't as rowdy at first, that is until Luffy stole Usopp's food, making the long-nose teen yell at him, making the others laugh. That is until Luffy stole their food, making them yell at the young teen.
Otherwise, they all had a great time. "Well, the day turned out sort of...different and very unexpected," Zoro said after he and Luffy got home. "Yeah, but it was still fun," Luffy said, "so did Zoro have a good time?" "I did, actually," the young swordsman said. He then picked the younger up, carrying him bridal style and went in the older's room, laying the other on the bed and he layed right next to him.
Luffy then sighed. "What's wrong, buddy?" Zoro asked. "Well, I feel very guilty for not getting you anything for your birthday," Luffy said with a small pout. "Is that why you took me to out all day?" The younger nodded.
"Come here," Zoro said as he pulled Luffy closer to him. "You're not upset or anything?" Luffy asked. "Not at all," Zoro answered, "it's always the thought that counts. And instead you gave me the best birthday ever." The young swordsman gave a peck on the other's nose, making him giggle.
"I love you, Zoro," Luffy said. "I love you too, Luffy," Zoro said back, giving the other another kiss. "Happy birthday," the younger added as he kissed the other back. They both just layed there talking for awhile and then fell asleep in each other's arms.
A/N: Finally done with chapter 6. It took me all day just to write it, but then again, it's all worth it. I know it's not that detailed, but it's the best I could do. Plus, this is my first birthday fic that I have ever written. If you guys thought that this was going to be a rated M chapter, well, I thought about it at first, but thought that it was kinda weird writing it in that rating.
I mean, I've tried that in one of my stories that is handwritten and thought 'this is going to be the last time I'm going to do that til maybe later in the future'. Yeah, sex scenes are a bit too complicated to write, especially detailed ones. Anyways, I hope you enjoyed this chapter and, like I said before, happy birthday, Zoro. Don't know if he's actually turning 21 or 22 or what not, but yeah.
Please R&R. :D
