Sanji was starting to get worried. It was at least an hour later the time Zoro was supposed to reach his hotel room, and he had yet to reach. Each time he called it would go straight to voicemail, and no text was replied. Sanji didn't know what to think since Zoro didn't live too far from his hotel.
When he heard his door knock, Sanji almost tripped over his own feet as he reached the door. Zoro was on the other side of the door; a frown on his lips, face flushed from the summer heat outside, sweat coating his body. Sanji smiled, feeling relieved Zoro was ok. But that feeling quickly turned into something else. "And where were you?"
Zoro sidestepped Sanji and sat down on one of the seats by the table, fanning himself with his hand. "You give shitty directions. Can I get some water?"
Sanji was already taking out a cold glass of water before Zoro even asked. "The hotel is right up the road from your house. You look like you ran a mile. And what the hell happened to your phone?"
"It's just really hot outside. I need a fan. The battery died on me, I forgot to charge it." Sanji handed Zoro the cold water and a wash cloth so he could dry his sweaty skin.
"You're really something. I was getting upset, thinking something bad happened to you."
"Upset?" Zoro smirked with the glass of water to his lips. "Or worried?"
"I was so not worried! You know what; I should worry about someone who can get lost going up their own street."
Zoro glared at Sanji. "It's too hot to fight. You get off easy this time swirly..." Sanji rolled his eyes at the nickname. It really was too hot to fight, or do anything.
"When you drink your water you can lay down a bit to cool off in my room. I'll turn up the air-conditioner."
"Thanks..."
Sanji was looking around his closet, looking for the perfect suit when he heard the bed springs creak with Zoro's added weight over them. After finding three suits that could look good on Zoro, Sanji took them out. "Are you sleeping?"
Zoro cracked an eye open to be able to look at Sanji. "I'm just hot. And having you in the same room is making it hotter." Zoro smirked as the blonde blushed.
"I have three suits I want you to try when you're ready." Trying not to motivate Zoro.
Zoro looked at the suit. "What color are they?"
"I have an all black, one with a white undershirt and one with a blue undershirt. Hmm, I feel like green would match you the best, but sadly I left it home."
Sanji raised an eyebrow when Zoro made a face at the mention of the color green, but decided to ignore it. "Which one would you want?"
"The white should be fine." Zoro sat up feeling better after his body cooled from the intense heat outside. He didn't understand how it took him an hour to find the hotel Sanji was staying at. It was up the streets like Sanji said.
The heat was so intense outside it would keep people inside. And the ones brave enough to step out, would walk in the shade and run across any sun rays to reach another shady place. And there he was outside looking for a hotel in a constantly moving city. How do people find their way in a place like this?
Zoro took the suit from the blonde and entered the bathroom. Sanji in the meantime went to the kitchen to get some nice cold ice cream. He did notice the last time they went to get ice cream Zoro got plain vanilla and good thing he had just that.
Sanji returned into his room just in time to see Zoro exiting the bathroom. "How does it look?" Sanji almost dropped both bowls full of cold ice cream, which was already starting to melt from the heat. Zoro was wearing the black suit with a white undershirt and barefoot. Sanji couldn't believe the outline of the body underneath his clothes. Zoro wasn't chubby at all, but far from it, from the outline he would say Zoro had muscles. And not the flabby muscles, but hard true muscles that resembled that of a Greek god. Movie stars would want at least half of what Zoro has now.
It was like Zoro was made to wear a suit, he looked handsome even though he was still wearing his stupid hat and had no shoes on, but he still looked too good in it. Good enough for him to start thinking about what kind of body was waiting for him once those clothes were removed.
Not getting a response from Sanji, Zoro was starting to feel a little awkward. Zoro looked down at himself, his three identical earrings chiming as he did so. "Cook?"
Hearing his name Sanji snapped his attention back to Zoro's face. "The suit looks perfect. But the hat has to go."
"Wait, why? Zoro held his hat obsessively.
"It doesn't match with the suit."
"I have to wear it. The light bothers me, it's part of being color blind. "
"Oh." Sanji placed a hand on his chin. "I guess you can wear it. There will be so many people there I doubt they'll even notice you there."
Zoro smiled at Sanji before entering the bathroom to change back. He couldn't wait to get his hands on the cold ice cream Sanji was holding. Zoro came out the bathroom shortly after and took the offered bowl.
"So, I've meant to ask," the blonde voiced, now seated on the side of his bed. "Why are your toe nails painted pink? When I first saw you I thought you were one of those manly man."
"That's Perona; she has this obsession with that color. I don't really care, it's not like I can see it anyhow." Zoro whispered the last part while shoving the last spoonful of ice cream in his mouth. "Can I get some more?"
Sanji pointed to the direction of his kitchen. "It must be great living with two girls..." Sanji blushed at his own remark. Zoro wasn't able to see the blush since he was already heading to the kitchen, so he interpreted what Sanji said as an innocent question, not a perverted one.
"It can be a headache sometimes. Perona's the worst, everything has to be pink or cute and if you don't fall into her category then you're pretty much screwed. And Bonney, she's easier to get along with, but she can be bossy and overprotective when she's ready."
Sanji leaned back on his bed, using his hands as leverage. He waited for Zoro to return to the room, that way he wouldn't have to shout to be heard. Once Zoro returned with a bowl full of ice cream and position himself to lean against the wall Sanji went back to his questions, "Have you ever you know...walked in and saw any of them..you know...?" Sanji gestured with his hand in a circular motion.
Zoro almost choked on his ice cream. "What, no! We don't even share the same bathroom. I use the guest bathroom."
"And you never cared to peek?" his voice full of shock.
"No! I can see you don't have a sister. Your face would be upturned." Zoro chuckled, but then got serious. "I respect them too much to do that. That would be wrong if I did that to one of them..."
"You better not, Tracks. Cause such ladies should not be seen by ogres like you." Sanji said in a teasing voice. Zoro smirked at Sanji as he finished his bowl of cold ice cream.

The day of the wedding came quickly, at least to Sanji it felt like that. He was happy Zoro had helped him with the food. Zoro by far the worst cook Sanji has seen, but if he assigned him to chop or stir he would do the task while Sanji worked on something else. Also, having extra hands carrying the food made it easier for Sanji, not to mention he was also able to help prepare the tables and chairs for the wedding reception.
Sanji fixed his tie for the millionth time that day. He couldn't smoke since he was catering. It wasn't like he never did smoke while he catered, but it depends on the occasion. He didn't want to smoke in a wedding, so he had to release his anxiety somewhere else, and his tie fell victim. The music for the reception had already started about ten minutes ago. And now the newlyweds were headed from the church to the garden where the reception was being held.
"Breathe curly-brow. You look tense."
Sanji couldn't be happier Zoro was with him. Zoro was radiating a sense of confidence that was also making him feel more at ease. "I am calm. He's not only the person getting married, but a really important man. He can really help my business if he likes my cooking." Sanji looked at Zoro. He still couldn't believe how perfect Zoro looked in a suit. The black suit highlighted his honey tan skin, and brought out his neon green eyes, and the way he stood was like a man who was once in the military, spine straight, head high, chest out, both feet firmly on the floor and hands back.
"Your cooking is the best. I'm more than sure that he'll love it"
Sanji blushed. Zoro could say the simplest things that made him blush and feel butterflies in his stomach. "I hope you're right." Sanji's glance went to the wedding couples riding horses towards their direction. He just hoped Zoro was right. If Lucci liked his food, he could get him to support his business and be able to open his own dream restaurant. He would call it the All Blue, named after a favorite legend of his, where all the water meets and paradise for chefs like himself were born. Just thinking about it made Sanji even jitterier.
Sanji felt Zoro's warm hands circle his and give a tight squeeze of reassurance and just as quickly released. That simple gesture made Sanji cool down and compose himself from all the emotions going through him. He bowed before greeting both newlyweds when the couples arrived.
"Congratulations on getting married. I hope the decor and the food is to your liking. Please have a nice evening and don't hesitate to call. I am at your beck and call." Sanji straighten himself from his bowed position to finally look at the 'bride'.
He was also wearing a tuxedo like Lucci was, but his was white. He had short orange hair and a long nose, box-shaped.
"Thank you Sanji. But you mustn't be so formal. This is the party after all. All formality is left in the ceremony, we just came from. We are here to have fun." Both Sanji and Kaku smiled at Lucci before the newlywed excused themselves from Sanji and made their way to the center of the party.
"And here I thought Lucci was a bad man and would need some beating..."
Sanji turned back to face Zoro. Now that he looked at it, Zoro looked like a body-guard standing like that next to him. Sanji almost laughed, but kept it to himself. "I only met him a few times. I still need to do a first impression you know?" Zoro just shrugged.
"So, where can we get something to eat and drink, I'm starving."
/
Sanji was starting to really think the people of Eastblue all had a big appetite. Ace, Luffy, Zoro and Bonney (at least that's what Zoro said) could eat a buffet. The blonde didn't know if the other three could do the same, but Zoro could drink alcohol and he means drink! And if that wasn't enough, Kaku went and sat down with Zoro and now were chatting like old buddies. He was getting scared Zoro was going to do something or say something that would have Kaku running to Lucci. Then he would be put in jail. But Kaku seemed to be having fun, laughing with Zoro.
Sanji leaned back on his chair, starting to feel the past work days catch up with him, but fully knowing once this was over he would have plenty of time to rest. The chef closed his eyes for a second, but that's all it took for him to drift off. He didn't know how long he had been out, but he awoke when Zoro sat next to him, not surprisingly with a plate full of food.
"Were you sleeping?"
Sanji stretched his muscles till he heard the satisfying pop. He rubbed his head before answering. "Yeah. Do you know how long I've been out?"
Zoro shrugged. "Not sure. Maybe a half an hour. You look better now. You weren't getting enough sleep?"
"Just last night. But it's all over once this night ends. I'll be going back home soon, to my warm bed back at Northblue."
"Oh..." Zoro didn't want to tell Sanji that he wanted him to stay with him. But he knew Sanji already had a life and asking him to stay would be selfish of him. Plus, why would he want Sanji to stay in the first place? He has seen him almost every day since they first met. And he was instantly attracted by the blonde's hair and eye color (once the blonde was under the right lighting.) He didn't know if it was Sanji he was attracted to. Or if it was because he is able to see colors with Sanji. It didn't matter though, because it came down to one thing. He didn't want Sanji to leave.
Zoro rubbed his face, feeling a headache forming. The more he thought about Sanji leaving the more upset he got. He wants Sanji to stay with him...
It was almost midnight when they waved the newlyweds good-bye so they could go to their honeymoon, then the cleaning begun. And once again Sanji couldn't believe how happy he was that Zoro was with him. Zoro was able to clean most of the table and chairs that were scattered all over the place after the heavy party. The other workers under Lucci helping as well. The only real task Sanji has, is to remove the plates and carry them to the sink where another washed them.
"Why are you yawning? I was the one up all night cooking." Sanji question, with a hint of amusement in his voice. Zoro just slouched deeper onto the car seat, letting the car's engine guide him to sleep. Seeing no verbal response Sanji continued. "Thanks for helping with the packing and unpacking... Kaku really took a liking to you, huh?" Sanji knew talking to Zoro at this moment was pointless, once he was full, and had alcohol in his system Zoro was out for the night, (or whatever time of day it was.)
Sanji took his eyes off the road for a second, checking if Zoro was really sleeping or ignoring him. He couldn't tell since Zoro's face was facing the other side, but the blonde did notice that Zoro at some point unbutton his pants. Sanji blushed, Zoro did complain that the pants were a bit tight, because even though Zoro was not that much thicker than Sanji, he still was, and eating all that food wouldn't have helped at all.
Sanji shook his head side to side. Taking another glance Sanji released that he had no idea what hair color Zoro was. Was he a blonde, brunette, redhead or black? Zoro had not taken off his hat since he had met him. Sanji wondered if he would be going into the man's personal space if he did. The blonde took one more glance and decided against it. He would just ask, no harm in that...
"We reach." Once Sanji reached the house Sanji shook Zoro awake. Zoro opened his eyes and rubbed the sleep from them. His gaze went to Sanji when he heard him talking. "Thanks for the company tonight. I really needed it."
Zoro just grunted for a response. Looking down at himself Zoro noticed he still had the blondes suit on himself. "What about this?" He gestured to the suit. "Should I just keep it till I wash it?"
"Yeah, that could work. I'm leaving four days from now; you should be able to get it back to me."
Zoro nodded as he opened the car door and closed it. He waved Sanji off, turning around Zoro made his way to his house.
Mihawk this time was in the living room, apparently waiting for him to get home. Zoro closed the door slowly, trying not to make any noise. Taking off his shoes, Zoro started making his way to the stairs, but stopped in his tracks when he heard Mihawk address him.
"Had fun tonight?"
Zoro took the foot that was on the stair off so he could turn around and face Mihawk who was still seated on the couch. "Yeah..."
"Did you drink?"
Zoro made a face. "Maybe..."
"Roronoa, I can smell you from here." Mihawk's yellow eyes looked at Zoro for the first time since he entered the house. "Did you drink?"
"Yes."
Mihawk made a disapproving noise at the back of his throat. "Drink some water and get to bed."
Zoro turned to the kitchen and got a warm cup of water before hurrying upstairs. He felt relief to be out if the same room as Mihawk. The raven haired man was convinced Zoro was an alcoholic, or at least one drink away from becoming one. But Zoro thought otherwise. He wasn't an alcoholic; he could control his drinking just fine. He just liked to drink, at least a bottle a day. It's not like he couldn't live without it, he just really liked it. Is that so bad?
Zoro opened his shares bedroom door. The lights were off, meaning both girls were sleeping by now. Zoro took off the hat and placed it the counter, to then proceed to changing into a shirt and pants. He crawled into bed in between the two girls. He groaned to himself when he realized he forgot to drink the water that was placed next to his hat. Not wanting to wake the girls Zoro decided to sleep the night. A smile tugged at his lips when Bonney wrapped an arm around him, and murmured something about food.

Sanji arrived to his temporary home only minutes after dropping Zoro off. He entered his hotel room only to notice that he had a missed text. It was from Lucci. To my beloved SanjiBlackleg, I would love to tell you this in person, but both Kaku and I agree that your food was the best thing we have ever tasted. Not only that, but that air of confidence is just what the market needs. I would like you to know that I would help open the All Blue. Congratulations and hope in doing business with you real soon.
Sanji jumped for joy when he saw the text. The first thing he did was call Zeff, his father to tell him all about it. Then he called Nami, Luffy and anybody else he knew, not caring what time it was. When he reached Zoro's number Sanji stopped. I should thank him in person... Sanji had to admit, he was nervous. The nerves were so bad that this very morning he woke up feeling nauseous. And through the day he was shaking. But when Zoro went him to the wedding, the confidence he showed helped Sanji cool down. Sanji smiled at his phone. The All Blue was finally at his grasp...

"Why do you have to move out?"
Bonney placed the cooked eggs on the three plates. " Kid asked me to move in with him." She looked at her sister who had a childish frown on her face. As she placed the plates down she also looked at her brother, who also had a pout on his lips and brows furrowed. Both her sibling got like this each time the topic of her moving out the house came up.
"Who's going to feed us?"
"Perona you will have to step up and take my place. You're going to have to take responsibility."
"But-"
"Perona stop running from responsibilities! I've been taking care of this family and now I have a life to move on to!" Bonney was starting to get agitated by Perona's selfish protest. Perona always started to complain when she had to do anything. "I already told you, I can take Zoro with me if you can't take care of him. Kid doesn't mind, I spoke to him from beforehand."
Both males stayed quiet, they were getting used to the arguing. Bonney had announced she was moving with Kid at the end of the month, which is only two days from now.
"Zoro's not the problem! I just don't think I can do this!"
"What? Grow up? We all have to one day. You have to start at some point, might as well start now! Life isn't going to serve you everything on a silver platter! You have to WORK for things!"
Perona slammed her hand on the table, rattling the silverware in the processes and making Zoro flinch. "I am grown up! And I know that! Life can be..." Perona glanced at Zoro who had his eyes fixed on the untouched plate in front of him. "I know alright. Life isn't always full of roses. I just don't want you to leave..."
Bonney shook her head, noticing that Perona was a lost cause. "Mihawk put the newspaper down and eat." Bonney looked at Perona. 'You should eat too, and Zoro eat your food before it gets cold. I'm going to need your help moving some boxes." Her eyes still on Perona.
Perona huffed in annoyance. She murmured something under her breath before shoving her breakfast into her mouth.
Zoro placed one of the heaviest boxes over his shoulder. "Zoro, do you want to stay here or come and live with me. I need an answer by today so we can start packing your stuff too." Bonney demanded as she folded some clothes into a one of her box. She was still a little upset over the fight with Perona during breakfast.
"I don't want to leave Perona alone...Why do you have to leave?"
"Stop siding with her. Kid asked me to. We've seen each other for about two years. Living here is getting in the way of my life..."
"Sorry." Bonney looked at Zoro. He still had the heavy box over his shoulder, showing no sign of discomfort but he did have a melancholy expression.
"Zoro, no. Don't be sorry. It's not your fault, or Perona's or dad's." The older sister closed the box filled with most of her cloths. "You guys are acting like I'm moving far away and will never see me again. I'll be right at the next town where you can visit. And we will see each other at performances..."
She placed the box over her shoulder while making a gesture for Zoro to follow her. She made sure to keep an eye on Zoro as they made their way to Mihawk's car, because he had a tendency to get lost in his own house and had proven he could also get lost while following someone. She only had to call him twice when he started heading the wrong way.
"You can place this here..." Zoro dropped the box where she pointed to. Zoro was about to enter the house again to look for more boxes when he heard a familiar voice. He turned around to spot two of his favorite people in the world. A smile spread on his face showing off his braces, "Johnny, Yosaku!"
Both men slammed into Zoro's smaller frame and squeezed him hard, almost taken his breath away. "Aniki!" They both yelled in unison.
"Hello Johnny, hello Yosaku... You're squeezing me too tight!" They both released at the same time, both with beaming smiles on their faces.
"Ah, hello Bonney." Johnny said, waving at Zoro's older sister. Johnny was tall, and was a dark tan. He wore dark shades and had a tattoo over his face. Yosaku had a headband over his head and was lighter in skin color. You could never find one without the other. "Sorry about that. We haven't seen Zoro in such a long time..." Yosaku said smiling. "Can we take him? We don't want Mihawk to see us, you know how he gets."
Zoro looked at Bonney, a hopeful expression on his face. "Please!" The two older men begged. Even though Zoro didn't say "please" she's been living with Zoro long enough to know he wanted to go with them.
"Fine. I'm not going to be the bad guy. But you know Mihawk will get mad. Especially if you drink. That's the reason he doesn't like to see you two," She pointed at Yosaku "with what happened last time."
"Mihawk over reacts sometimes. It's no fun if we don't drink." Johnny whined.
"Yeah, we can't promise anything..." Yosaku added, Zoro nodding in the background.
Bonney sighed. "Just control yourself, ok?"
Zoro nodded before running off with both Johnny and Yosaku. Before he was out of view Zoro paused and looked back at Bonney. "Thanks !" He turned around and left for the day.
/
Sanji stepped out of his rented car. He looked at the house. To him it looked pretty big and well-kept, taking a few steps Sanji knocked on the front door. The blonde couldn't wait to see Zoro and thank him again and tell that brute the good news. All Blue... Sanji waited a few minutes before a girl eating a pizza and with pink hair opened the door.
"Ah, Sanji. What brings you here?
"Bonney. Nice to see you on this fine day. I came to see your brother." Sanji bowed at Bonney.
"Oh, he left a few hours ago with some friends. But why don't you come in? I don't want you to have come all the way here for nothing. Let me make you something."
Sanji stepped into the house when Bonney opened it enough for him to pass through. "And you don't know when he will be back?"
"No. But I'm guessing late. Would you like something to drink? It is hot outside."
"Water will be fine." Sanji sat down on one of the stools as Bonney got his water.
"Is the suit yours?"
"The suit?... The SUIT. Yes, that's mine." The blonde scratched behind his head feeling a little embarrassed that he forgot.
"I washed it and it's drying now. I was scared to put it in the dryer. I'm not used to things like that. Zoro doesn't own one and Mihawk washes his expensive clothing."
"I'm not in any rush..." Sanji took a sip from the water offered to him. "Your brother is color blind?" The question sounding more like a statement. He didn't know what brought it up, but he did...
Bonney leaned on the counter. "Yes, he is. I'm guessing he told you... You know what he told me when he was younger?" Sanji raised an eyebrow. Bonney had a mischievous smile on her lips. What was a big sister if not to embarrass their younger sibling right?
"He once saw someone with blonde hair and blue eyes. He never saw any color on anyone else but that person. He said when he meets that person again; he will marry the person..."
Sanji blushed. "So that person was like Zoro's first love..."
"You can kind of say that. It would be funny if that person were you."
Sanji laughed. "I really don't think it was me. I don't remember seeing Zoro in my life."
Bonney hummed at the back of her throat while tapping her chin with her finger. "He would have probably recognized you, yet again this is Zoro." Who knows what passes through his head?
"Was he born like that? Does he know how colors look like?" The chef asked, finishing his water and placing it back down.
"He was born that way. Genetics, got it from his mother."
Sanji couldn't think of seeing the world in black and white. How would he match his clothing and put the right food coloring that went with each dish. Not to mention the other simple things like the color of the ocean, grass and sky. Not knowing does colors just seemed so wrong. He would miss it. But how could you miss something you never had?
"You seem to like my brother a lot..."
Sanji looked up from his dozing thoughts. "Your brother is... different. I don't know how though."
Bonney just smiled at Sanji. "Hey, why don't you help me move some boxes? I could use the extra help?"
"Of Course my pretty, I can't allow a woman do something like this. Please let me help."
/
It was because Bonney was starting to worry about Zoro's where about that he went with her to find him. He wouldn't let a lady roam the outside in the dark without protection, and who knew where Zoro was at this hour. He could be anywhere.
It was almost midnight when Bonney got a call, someone she knew informing her that Zoro was at the park with Johnny and Yosaku sleeping on the bench. It didn't take long for them to reach the sleeping trio. When they reached they saw Johnny on the floor sleeping, and Zoro and Yosaku sleeping on two separate benches, apparently wasted, if the scent of alcohol was to go by.
Bonney wanted to kick Johnny and Yosaku awake for letting her brother get into this state, they were older and knew! Ignoring the two older men, Bonney made her way to her younger brother with Sanji at her heel.
"Is it them that smell like that, alcohol?" Sanji passed his fingers through his hair.
"Shit! Dad's going to be mad...He hasn't gotten like this since forever." Bonney helped Zoro sit up after shaking him awake. Sanji didn't know if Zoro was sitting up with his own power or if it was Bonney holding him up.
"Zoro up. It's time to get home and get screamed at..." She snapped her finger in front of his face when she saw his eyes start to slowly shut again. Zoro just groaned and tried to lay down again.
Sanji sprinted and placed a hand behind Zoro, supporting his back and preventing him from laying down again. "You can bring him to my place. You can tell your dad he is staying with a friend...or something."
Bonney looked at Sanji, her eyes big with disbelief. "I don't know... I don't mind, but..." She seemed to debate it before she nodded. He was in no condition to go back home and face Mihawk. Who knew what could happen.
"If you want to stay as well, then you can my lady."
"No. Then Mihawk will really know something's up."
It didn't take long for Bonney to kick Johnny and Yosaku awake and send them home and get Zoro to lay down in the back seat of the car. When they reached the hotel, the blonde flung Zoro over his shoulder like a sack of potato and carried him into his hotel room then flip him onto his bed.
"Sanji, where are you going to sleep?" Sanji heard Bonney ask from behind him. He turned around to face her. "I'll sleep on the couch tonight." Sanji turned his attention to Zoro again. "He won't die from alcohol poisoning right?"
"He shouldn't, he has a higher tolerance for it." The elder sister walked over to Zoro and started to unlace his boots. "Thank you Sanji. Dad would have had my head if he knew I let Zoro leave with Johnny and Yosaku"
"I don't get it. If you knew something like this might happen, why didn't you stop him?" Sanji asked.
"I don't want to keep holding him back like I normally do. Zoro has it bad already, I don't want to make it worse. And he gets more rebellious the more we hold him back. That's one of the reasons his relationship with Mihawk isn't exactly the best." Actually, if it wasn't that Zoro respected Mihawk, I don't know what might have happened by now...Once she placed the second boot on the floor she stood up and bowed to Sanji. "I will be leaving now." Sanji had his mouth open to ask what she had meant about Zoro, but decided against it.
"No. The honor is mine to be of any use to you. Would you like something before you go?"
"Thank you, but I'm fine. Zoro shouldn't bother you for the night. He's a heavy sleeper, so he should be able to sleep with what he has on so don't worry about that."
"I won't. Call me when you reach home and if your dad believed you."
She nodded before leaving the hotel room. Once she was gone Sanji looked at Zoro who was sleeping through the ride here and the conversation. Sanji's eyes went to the bandana still around Zoro's head. He was tempted to remove it, but took Bonney's advice to leave him sleep like he was. Taking a blanket, Sanji placed it over the sleeping body, he then grabbed two pillows and made his way to the couch with a book under his arm.
AN: Thank you for all the reviews! Really appreciate them
