The weekend passed in a daze. Eustass' buzzing brain was still preoccupied, but his trail of thought changed. While the bathroom scene still played on his mind, now Friday's encounter with the person in question was dominant. Was this normal? How curious could he be about someone, and why?
Questions, questions, questions. And music. The music was an exterior factor that filtered itself through his ears. Only thanks to this did he realize he was actually stuck in another daydream. He was having them a lot lately…..
He focused on his surroundings briefly. Professor Brook, the music teacher, was prancing around while he enthusiastically plucked strings on his violin. He was by far the weirdest teacher Kid had and he had an interesting array from which to choose.
For one, he referred to himself as 'Soul King'. Second, he asked every pretty student or teacher who happened to be female, for a glance at their panties. And thirdly, he always wore his age-worn suit which clung around his almost skeletal like silhouette.
No doubt he was a music genius. Eustass recognized that, but he really didn't know why someone like him was even allowed in a school, forget about teaching in one.
'Now comes a storm through the far-off sky'
'Now the waves are dancing, Beat upon the drums'
'If you lose your nerve this breath could be your last'
'But if you just hold on, The morning sun will rise'
'Yo-hohoho, Yo-hohoho,'
'Yo-hohoho, Yo-…..'
Kid tuned out again. His attention wasn't required anytime soon so he didn't offer it. Back to Friday. Back to Law.
Sanji looked with dismay at the mounting stack of dirty dishes, towards well above the rim of the sink. Well, he was responsible for it so he had nobody else to blame. He shrugged and rolled the sleeves of his shirt. This was a minor inconvenience. It didn't compare with the joy of cooking and, best of all, seeing others enjoy his cooking.
The advantages of being allowed to use the home economic room were, he had all the room to himself after classes and he could try his recipes to his heart's content. The drawback was the cleaning after, naturally.
He always got carried away and by the end, the plates and pots loomed threateningly in the air. He couldn't help it! There were just so many more resources here than at his house, and as a bonus, there were students who tried his cooking and gave their opinions.
Overall the advantages way over-won the disadvantages. Besides, cleaning was also the job of a chef. He could hardly work in a messy and dirty environment. Sanji smirked. 'Look at me; thinking of myself as a chef.' Not yet. That was his dream, and he would achieve it, but not yet.
'You look happy doing chores.' Sanji nearly dropped the delicate porcelain plate he was meticulously cleaning. There was no need for him to turn, but he did anyway.
'Zoro?' No mistaking him. How many students had bright green hair? Sanji could only name one. 'What're you doing here?'
'Not happy to see me love cook?'
'Do I look happy damn marimo? Stop standing there like an idiot and help me finish the clean-up!' Sanji's answer was a bit more snappish than he intended, but somehow the head of the kendo club always managed to irritate him. The blonde redirected his attention on his work, afraid he would see Zoro angry. 'Well done Sanji. You chased him away…'
He heard Zoro's footsteps. Strangely they were coming towards him with unwavering precision. Surprised, Sanji sneaked a glance over his shoulder.
Zoro walked past him and stopped at the sink. He submerged his hands in the hot water and began working on the plates as instructed. Sanji was dumbstruck. Through the whole thing, Zoro kept a cool and relaxed front. He didn't look at the frozen boy beside him.
Slowly Sanji continued his interrupted cleaning. Nothing was said. Was Zoro really angry? 'Maybe I should say something….' The plate in his hands was practically shining from being washed so thoroughly. Sanji didn't realize he had been scrubbing the same one since the arrival of his helper.
'Zo-…..'No more was said. No more had to be said. No more could be said.
Sanji dropped his clean dish and it shattered into numerous tiny shards. No attention was paid to it. In a fluent motion Zoro had successfully captured Sanji's lips in a passionate kiss. The blonde's previous surprise dissolved into pleasure like sugar in water. He responded eagerly, opening his mouth and moving closer.
He coiled his hands around Zoro's bent neck. His body yearned for this. It had been too long since they were together. Zoro must have felt the same way. He trailed his hands down Sanji's body and hovered at the hips. It was his way of asking for permission to go on.
Sanji covered the hands with his own but didn't try to move them. He kept them firmly on his hips. This wasn't a denial or an approval. He wanted to go on. He wanted that more than anything, but it wasn't a good idea.
Reluctantly, almost painfully, the blonde pulled away from the other's kiss. Zoro's gaze was inquisitive, lustful and intense. Sanji swallowed heavily to prevent himself from jumping right back into his hold.
'We have to meet the others…..' Sanji's words trailed, replaced by the intense silence. Even his voice was full of yearn. But Zoro's expression clearly showed he didn't care, he wanted to continue. He had to act fast if he didn't want to use the kitchen table for something other than eating.
He closed the distance between them once more but instead of a kiss, Sanji brought his lips close to Zoro's ear. He whispered his idea in a seductive voice, letting his want go wild just for a second. 'If you help me, I'll have something really special for you tonight…'
After he planted a soft kiss on his neck, the cook pulled back and regarded his lover again. The only difference was that Zoro's stare was even more intense, if that was possible. Sanji could feel the eyes burning holes into him.
He felt, rather than saw, them get closer and his lips were once more occupied in a firm kiss. Firm but short. When Zoro withdrew, he was back to his usual carefree self with a sheepish grin stretched on his face.
'I'll hold you to that.''
He didn't have to wait for an answer. While no doubt thinking of the night to come, Zoro resumed his work. Sanji joined him with an equally wide grin on his lips and thinking of the same oncoming evening.
Yeah, this guy pissed him off to no end, but by god, he loved him.
'Where are they?' Of course the 'they' referred to Sanji and Zoro. Eustass looked at Nami's irritated face. She didn't much like being made to wait. Her hands were crossed across her chest and her lips were drawn thin.
'Don't worry. They'll be here soon.' Luffy was the only one of the three who looked completely at ease. He flashed Nami a wide grin and despite herself, she felt the corners of her mouth lift up just a little.
'Speak of the devil…' Added Kid. He was with Nami on the impatient part and while the other two had had been swapping words he searched the surrounding area for any sign of the two in question. His gaze found them relatively easily. Not because they were running, though that was a major factor. Or because of their striking blonde and emerald green hair, though that was a major, major factor. Kid spotted the two immediately because they were the only students still around.
The final classes had ended already and most left for home. Very few still lingered the premises of the school. The only reason he himself was still there was because Luffy had practically dragged him along. The five were meeting after school to do something 'fun'. Kid didn't like the vagueness of the idea, but he reluctantly accepted the fact that once Luffy's mind was made nothing in the world could change it. 'Except food.'
'Where were you?' What the hell took you two so long?' The last two members just reached the group and they were assaulted by Nami's angry interrogation.
'Cleaning dishes.' Zoro's frankness was so matter of fact it almost stirred laughter. On the other hand, Sanji's cheeks changed ten shades redder and he looked intently at the ground.
It didn't take a genius or a detective to figure what really happened. Nami fixed Zoro with an iron glare, which he held, but it was clear she wasn't going to pursue the subject any further.
'Well, whatever! Come on! Let's go and have fun!' Nami took up the front of the lead, her irritation vanishing and being replaced by excitement. Luffy was besides her whistling a tune, Kid guessed he was the only one who had no idea what Sanji and Zoro had been truly doing. The two in question followed, swapping a glance. Zoro flashed the cook a leery grin making him blush again.
And Kid was at the back, observing all of this but not really paying attention. Truth be told he was bored out of his mind. All he wanted was to go home, lie down and go to sleep. He hadn't had much of that the previous night. All his dreams ended being haunted by one person. The same guy sitting on a bench and reading a book.
Kid stopped so abruptly it gave the illusion something literally pulled him back in his tracks. He gawked more than stared and was surprised to find that his mind wasn't playing tricks on him. There, in the open air some distance away sat Trafalgar Law, on a wooden bench, his legs crossed delicately with a large hard-covered book resting on his lap. His attention was entirely devoted to the task of reading. He seemed to be the only other person still at school.
Kid didn't realize the others stopped as well.
Nami saw Kid stop by pure accident. She just happened to turn around and talk to Sanji, when the corner of her always-vigilant eye caught the sudden motion. She noticed how his expression underwent rapid changes, from boredom to shock to puzzlement. Unconsciously she followed Kid's gaze and at long last, she discovered the mystery person. Nami nearly gasped when she saw Law. 'No way!'
Luffy's and Zoro's voices brought her back. They were talking animatedly about boy-related stuff. Sanji was looking straight at her. She saw it in his eyes. He knew as well. A knowing smile crossed both their lips. Kid was still rooted to the spot. Birds could have probably landed on him, mistaking him for a statue, and he wouldn't have noticed.
'Oh shoot! I forgot my coat in the art room!' Nami declared in a shrill voice while simultaneously slapping her forehead in dismay.
'I'll get it for you!' Bingo. Nami put on her puppy face and looked benevolently at Luffy.
'Oh, I love you so much. Doflamingo's room. It's red, you can't miss it' She felt bad for taking advantage of his kindness, but it was evident he had absolutely no clue as to what just happened. Luffy had many qualities but reading delicate situations was not one of them. Sanji thought the same about Zoro.
'You should go with him. You don't want Luffy to wander off, do you?' Zoro had a 'huh' expression. Too late did Sanji realize that he had asked the only man capable of getting lost on a one way corridor, without any doors, to keep another person from 'wandering' off. Hastily Sanji added a wink which meant that if he did this without any further questions he would be handsomely rewarded. Getting the message, Zoro followed the brunet boy who was already half-way through the yard. 'Two idiots are better than one. Right?'
Oh well, there was no point in worrying about what was already done. Besides, what could possibly go wrong?.. Sanji inhaled a deep breath and pushed that problem at the back of his mind concentrating on the current one. He and Nami swapped one more look, just to confirm that what was happening was real and not just an incredible illusion.
'You like Trafalgar Law?' The two couldn't keep their curiosity inside anymore, and they burst the question simultaneously. The effect was entertaining. Kid was shocked out of his mind, literally, like throwing a bucket of ice cold water on him. Despite his mouth hanging open no words came out from Kid. She guessed what he was thinking.
'How did we figure it out?' Nami giggled and Sanji smirked. ' Could you have been any more obvious?' Nami giggled again. 'But Law? Wow, when you aim, you aim for the stars!'
'You're crazy! I'm not….! I…..! It's not like that!' And here it was; denial. The other two exchanged another knowing look. Let the mind games begin.
'Have you thought of him lately?' Sanji
'Yes, but….'
'All the time?' Nami
'….Not all the time…..'
'Have you been losing sleep?' Sanji
'What does that have-…..'
'Dreaming of him?' Nami
'…' Kid
'Should we take that as a yes?' Sanji
'Ok, fine! I get your point! But it's still not like that! The reason why-…It's complicated!' The more Kid struggled to prove his point the more he seemed to be lying, on account of the flustered anxiety. How the hell could he explain that the reason why he couldn't stop thinking of Law was because he saw something he shouldn't have? The easier option was to just play along. Besides, some part of him was strangely curious about what the two had to say.
'Fine, let's say that your right, and I do have feelings for him. What now?' Sanji and Nami exchanged looks for the forth time, but instead of knowing they were confused. They definitely didn't expect for him to admit it. Nami was the first to come back to her senses.
'Um…the first thing you have to do is run into him accidentally on purpose.' She looked pleased with herself, while Kid raised an eyebrow at her suggestion. Once more, he couldn't just say that he had already ran into him, though it was all accident, no purpose.
'Nami-san's right! As always. That way you can have your first encounter and eventually hopefully you two will become friends.'
'Aha. That makes sense.' No it didn't, but the sooner he agreed with the clearly stupid idea the sooner the two dropped the subject. For now. Unfortunately Nami had that cunning gift of reading lies. Bad news for Kid.
'You're not going to do anything.' Her voice sounded almost accusing. Kid smirked, while sneaking another quick glance at Law.
At times like those, Law was actually happy at his ability to keep a mask flawlessly. The medical journal on his lap lay unread. He was looking intently at it and it gave the illusion he was reading it, but his focus was entirely captivated by the red-haired boy called Eustass Kid.
Originally he had been on the bench simply reading the book, borrowed from Professor Robin, and then by pure accident his day got ten times more interesting. The reason he chose to remain at school after everyone left was the silence. It didn't even cross his mind there would be anybody still left behind. And definitely not a group.
When his silence was broken, he looked startled and impatient at the unexpected guests. They hadn't seen him look up. Before they realized he was there he went back to pretending he was busy. From that one quick glance he immediately recognized all of them. Monkey D. Luffy, the ridiculously popular simpleton, Roronoa Zoro, the star of the kendo club, Sanji, home-ec. prodigy, and Nami, who didn't really need an introduction.
So those were the sort of people he was friends with. 'Interesting.' Under the disguise of reading, it was easy to sneak quick glances from the corners of his eyes without being caught. That's how he saw Kid's reaction. And he thought he had been surprised... He looked back at the words, not seeing any, to prevent himself from smiling.
From where he was sitting he wasn't able to hear the words they were saying, but he did hear their voices. The only girl present said something and seconds later Luffy and Zoro left, heading in the direction they came from. Either she had genuinely forgotten whatever she said she forgot, or she along with the blonde, wanted to get rid of the other two.
'You like Trafalgar Law?' He heard that. Once more, he thanked his amazing ability of keeping a collected front. Otherwise the smile playing on his lips would have showed and an imminent blush was also at risk.
He concentrated on listening even harder, now that he was involved. The three were arguing, no wait. The two questioned Kid relentlessly while he struggled to keep up with answers. He wished he could hear what they said, but really he was only interested in one of them. Time to make his day even more interesting.
'I told you, I don't-….' Kid's words hung in his mouth. The others stared at him waiting for the end of the sentence, but none came. They couldn't see Law, since he sat behind them, but Kid did. He was dumbstruck because the sitting boy was no longer sitting and he was strolling towards them.
Nami looked over her shoulder and understanding dawned on her. She tapped Sanji on the forearm to get his attention as well. A look that said 'Wow. I didn't see this coming' crossed all their faces, including Kid. Only his expression was one hundred times more dramatic.
'Well. We should go find Luffy and Zoro.' Kid locked eyes with Nami. She winked and he was glad Law couldn't see her face.
'Yeah. See you later.' Sanji mirrored Nami's smug look. How many timed did he have to tell them it wasn't like that. His 'obsession' was purely due to idle curiosity. On the way past him, Nami patted his shoulder and whispered her final parting words for the day.
'Good Luck' The two left just as Law arrived, taking the now vacant spot in front of Kid. Eustass looked at him intently, not saying anything. The most bizarre thing wasn't that Law was there, it was his own reaction. He had a sudden need to prevent himself from saying something stupid, again. It was like the first time they ran into each other all over again.
'You look bored.' Law said it in a friendly voice.
'I'm bored out of my mind.'
'Since that's the case, care to join me?' Law waited for approximately two seconds before leaving. Kid wondered, stared, then followed.
Well thank you for the read! Nami and Sanji's interrogation just cracks me up! The two of them make a scary pair to go up against. XD No wonder Kid went down like a rock!
But anyway, thank you again, and please review! XD
