Zoro sighed lightly under his breath as he crossed his beefy arms above his broad chest. The talk that he had previously had with his friend Ace fueled thoughts in the swordsman that opened up a whole new territory for the man, especially since Zoro had never even thought of focusing on anything more than his training up until this point. But now, as he sat crammed in the backseat of Luffy's car with the man of his current thoughts pressed up against his right side, he couldn't help but think of the conversation in full.

There was no way that he liked the cook. Granted, the large teen couldn't help but admit to the obvious and how Sanji was attractive, a skilled fighter, a wonderful chef - he got to taste his cooking on Thursday since he made him Onigiri, so Zoro would stop calling him a shitty cook - and a kind person. But that meant nothing. Lots of people were attractive after all, but what was really bugging Zoro was that he had never ever THOUGHT of anyone as being attractive before.

It was only the cook.

And he wouldn't exactly say that the thought scared him, but it was new. And the man couldn't help but think that it all meant something. A small smile adorned the green haired teens lips as he remembered the events of Tuesday, when the cook and him talked and fought in the school football field.

He had felt nothing but bliss, relaxation, and clear minded on that afternoon. Which was very odd and off putting for the teen who felt the need to be constantly on his guard at all times. But even with the short-tempered cook to his side, he felt relaxed... As if he had nothing to worry about in those very moments of life.

And the cook never bored him. They knew one another for less than a week but the fact still remained that Zoro never once got tired of the fights, the banter, his voice... He honestly couldn't get enough of the others very obviously smoke filled voice. It was deep yet smooth, and as he has already pointed out about the others laugh, it was just like honey.

But again, Zoro couldn't help but think that he may just be on his guard because he was new and they knew absolutely nothing about the teens past. Just like with Robin.

He frowned at the thought. He never thought of her as much as he was thinking on the cook, and he really couldn't compare the two situations since he did in fact trust the cook. He hated to admit it, but he never even felt the need to suspect the blonde of hurting his nakama, which just confused him even more since it denied that he was thinking on him so much due to suspicions.

"Oi, moss-head!" Zoro blinked and looked over his shoulder at the cook who pulled him out of his previous musings.

"What?" Sanji glared at the other.

"Stop digging your elbow into me. You're crushing my fucking ribs." Oh. Another thing to add to the list of things about Sanji was that he swore. A lot.

"Maybe if you weren't just skin and bones it wouldn't hurt so much, pansy." Zoro defended himself as he moved his arms so they were leaning on his knees and not touching the other teen.

"Up yours, jerk. I am not skinny."

"Um. Ya you are. I can literally wrap my hand around your forearm."

"Fuck you!"

"Gladly!"

There was a deep silence in the car as Sanji blinked hard and looked at Zoro with stunned features. Luffy swerved the car to the side in shock, Nami held her mouth open as she looked back at the two through the rear-view mirror, and Usopp did everything he could to hide his laughter as Zoro blushed furiously and shook his head.

"I meant I'll fuck you UP. Idiot." Sanji blinked once more and glared at the teen at the sudden threat.

"I would love to see you try, Marimo. You'll end up with a boot through the teeth."

And the back and forth fight was on as the two got a mere centimeter apart from one another as they screamed in each others faces.

The three remaining people in the car didn't even have the will to stop them as they all shared looks. After the initial shock, Nami and Luffy were smiling along with Usopp, who just nodded his head towards the two in the front. They all knew that the shout wasn't an accident or a hidden threat. This was Zoro they were talking about, he was someone who spoke his mind and never misspoke.

And now they all knew that they needed to do everything in their power to get the two together. And as they took a final look into one another's eyes, they made a mutual pact of playing cupid.


"Hey guys! Glad you all could make it!" A freckle faced teen ran out of the wooden cabin that Luffy had pulled in front of. "Everyone else is insi- Holy shit..."

Ace's eyes widened as he threw on an award winning grin and slicked his hair back before he swayed his hips over to Sanji, who was just stepping out of the car with Zoro close on his heels.

"Hellllo, hot stuff~ You must be Sanji~" Ace grabbed the confused teens hand and placed a soft kiss on the back of his hand as he winked up at the blonde.

"Um.. Hey..." Sanji responded with a nervous laugh as he gently pried his hand out of the others grasp, who sat himself back up and smiled at him once again.

"I'm Ace, this little clowns brother." The cowboy hatted man stated merrily as he pulled Luffy into a headlock, and began rubbing his hair from under his hat.

"Oi! Ace!" Luffy yelled, but you could hear the joy lacing his tone as his brother let him go with a laugh. Sanji backed up slightly, so his arm was pressed up against Zoro's as Ace moved back up to him, practically breathing the same air as him.

The blonde went to speak and ask why he was so close, but stopped as the slightly taller man took a deep inhale of his hair and pulled back.

"You do smell like lavender!" He yelled with a smile as Sanji shakily smiled back, but he couldn't bring himself to respond. He was too weirded out.

"Ace!" Zoro mumbled with a glare as Ace held up his arms in surrender.

"Cool your jets, just wanted to confirm." The firefighter said with his grin still present before he shrugged and gestured towards the large wooden cabin. "Why don't you guys come on in? I got the booze and snacks all set out."

Luffy shot into the house the moment 'snacks' was uttered out of his brothers mouth, which then made the others follow suit as Sanji stood out front the cabin for a moment. It wouldn't be that bad, he thought to himself as he finally shrugged off his jacket and threw it into Luffy's backseat on top of his bag. His body was heating up as the thought of being trapped in that cabin ran through his mind, and he was afraid that even though he caked on at least a pound of deodorant, that he would sweat and get gross with no way of changing his shirt.

He was mentally kicking himself for not bringing a spare. He did have extra pants, but now that he thought about that, they were pointless since he didn't sweat on his fucking legs.

The cook then took in a large inhale and stepped into the opened cabin door. He looked around idly and stepped back in shock once he noticed both his History and Biology teachers were present. One of which had a glass of wine placed in her fingers, while the other was sipping on a juice box. Sanji tip toed his way over to Usopp and gently whispered in his ear.

"Umm... Why are there teachers here?" He asked in panic. There was no way he wanted to go through the day sober. But like hell he was going to drink in front of two people that determine his grade.

"Huh? Oh! I guess we forgot to tell you." Usopp started as he turned to look at the taller blonde. "Robin is our archaeologist, Luffy made her join the crew last year when-"

"No, ya Zoro already told me all that... I just didn't think that Robin was the Robin that teaches me History..." He said, which made Usopp cock an eye in confusion.

"Wait, ZORO told you?" He asked "What is going on between you two?"

"What do you mean?"

"Well Zoro has never been... Open with anyone. So for him to tell you about us is a big deal... And he lets you call him all those nicknames..." Sanji scoffed and rolled his eyes as he leaned against the wall, eyes directed at Luffy who was devouring the snack table but kept his focus locked on the teen next to him.

"We hate each other. That's how it works when you meet someone you really don't like, you insult one another. They aren't nicknames. And the stories weren't really detailed. More like he was warning me of your members so I didn't say anything that would insult them. So he was basically just looking out for you all."

Usopp looked at him for a moment before blinked and sighing dramatically and walking away from the teen, who simply stood there wondering what he did wrong before the artist returned with a shot in his hand.

"Drink this and pray drunk you is more honest."

Sanji hummed a noise of confusion and spared a small glance over at his teachers, thankful that they were looking at Luffy before he shot back the drink in one smooth motion. He then grinned over at Usopp.

"Let's get fucking wrecked."


"Hehehehe!" Sanji laughed with a hand covering his mouth as Luffy drew him a self-portrait. It looked like someone barfed on the paper and for some reason that seemed to tickle his funny bone. "N-No! I'm not that ugly! Haha!"

"Whhaaaa? But it looks just like you." Luffy complained with a smile, obviously enjoying the others intoxicated state.

"Can-Can I keep that?" Sanji mumbled before taking a large gulp of an unmarked bottle. "My fridge needs it!"

"Of course! I'll even sign it! Anything for the fans!"

Luffy then proceeded to sign the sheet with flourish as Sanji burst into another spur of laughter at the action. The blonde didn't seem to notice either that the other members of the party seemed to crowd around the two, smiling as they watched the blonde come out of his shell.

"T-Thanks!" Sanji said with a smile as he grabbed the paper gently between his fingers, as if holding a piece of art as he folded into a neat little square before putting it into his shirts chest pocket. "Is treasure..."

"Pirate treasure?" Luffy asked.

"Yesh! Cause I am a pi-pirate... AAAAAAAAAA nice pirate though... W-Who gives out hugs!" That was the only warning Luffy got before Sanji flung himself at the teen and hugged him around his middle, squishing his face up against the others surprisingly hard chest as he laughed.

Luffy wrapped his arms around the other as he too shot off into laughter.

"You are the best! Let's just keep you drunk!"

"Nooo! Den the goblins will come!" Sanji yelled in a fearful tone as Luffy gasped.

"Goblins?!"

"Mmhmm! They seat toes... A-And they don't even marinade them first! Barbaric!"

Sanji stayed planted on the captains front, who didn't mind in the slightest, as Usopp grabbed the bottle from his hands. He didn't seem to notice however as he took the glass out of the bag and read the label.

"Holy shit- This is straight vodka, who gave him this?!" Usopp asked in shock as the others all laughed.

"I did!" Sanji yelled back. "A-And I would advise you not to*urp*to shout! Cause I am a victim!"

"A victim, huh?" Ace asked with a smile as he planted himself on the love seat next to Smoker, who hadn't spoken much that evening.

"Yesh! Of... Being too damn fine!"

"Jesus Christ!" Ace burst out into laughter, as did all the others as Sanji got off his brother and burped lightly before moving over to the snack table, where all the booze was placed.

"Hey, I think you're good." Zoro cut in, completely sober even though he was sure that he drank just as much as the blonde. Sanji then proceeded to slap him on the arm.

"No! Only I can be... Have... What were we talking about? Oh, ya I needs that booze m-man... Don't starve me! I don't wanna do t-that again!" Sanji wailed as walked forward but tripped on the carpet, and face planted onto the floor. "Hey floor! Make me some-some cereal please..."

"Again?" Zoro mumbled to himself as he leaned down and tapped the now silent cook on the back of his head. "Oi, you dead?"

"I wish... But naw. C-Can you get me*urp* some beer? I think I mi-might need some."

"No. You need some water before you kill your kidneys."

"Pfft. I won't kill no one! I am an angle."

"An angle?"

"Mmmhmm.. 90 degrees!" Zoro then rolled his eyes once more as he set down his glass of sake and grabbed the cook, swinging him over his shoulder before tossing him onto the couch, but the drunk man quickly wiggled his hips and went back onto the floor. "Ugh.. Oh! Is that a fireplace?"

Ace looked over at where the blonde was pointing and smiled as he stood back up. "Hell ya it is! Smoker, babe, grab the marshmallows and stuff, Ill go start the fire! Everyone follow me!"

"Yay!" Sanji yelled as he stood back up, looking like a baby deer as he finally made his way over to Usopp, who he leaned on for support. "Les go!"

They all then proceeded to walk out the back sliding doors and into the camp ground looking area. There was a single metal case for the fire that was in the middle of a square of long logs that represented chairs, and the remaining area was all trees. The forest was deep and dark, but it didn't stay scary-In Usopp and Chopper's opinion- for long as Ace started up the fire and gestured for everyone to sit down. Once they were all situated the seating was pretty random with Chopper, Robin, Ace and Smoker on one log, Nami, Luffy, Franky and Brook took another and Usopp, Sanji and Zoro took up the last one.

It was quiet for a bit as Ace got the fire started, and at that moment Sanji couldn't help but think that he was the only one drunk. So, he grinned and pressed the bottle into Usopp's chest, and made a gesture for him to chug it back.

"No way!" The teen laughed as Sanji pouted. "I hate hangovers, and I think you're drunk enough for the both of us."

"Mgh. Fine, be a SQUARE!" He mumbled loudly as he took another sip and without being aware of his current actions, leaned his head on Zoro's broad shoulder.

The swordsman blushed and pretended not to notice as the others all smiled in his direction. All but Ace, who looked like he just had the idea of a life time as he shot up from his spot and held a hand in the air.

"Time for truth or dare bitches!"
