Chapter 6: The Fall Dance

Yesterday, Zoro dropped me off back at my apartment. I was still pretty shaken up by everything they told me. I didn't want to think about it anymore. I rummaged through my closet looking for something to wear. Usually I don't have a problem with dressing myself, but tonight there's going to be the dance going on, and Zoro's taking me. Sanji told me that Zoro never goes to the dances at the school because he thought it was a waste of time. I'm so glad I got Zoro out so he can be more social.

Zoro was on his way here and I still haven't decided on what to wear. I gave up and just decided to through on tight black jeans and a loose red tank top. Just in time to. Zoro sent me a text telling me that he's outside.

"I'm going now, Ace." I told my brother.

"Hold on. What time will you be home?" he asked.

"I don't know, probably not to late." I shrugged. Ace thought for a second.

"Ok, go on ahead." He said finally.

When I got downstairs I saw that Zoro was waiting for me in a dark green Denali. I walked up to the car. He rolled down the window. He wore black sunglasses.

"Need a lift?" he said coolly.

"Oh, you're cool." I said sarcastically as I entered the car. He chuckled. "Why are we driving? The schools only three blocks away."

"It's much safer this way. It is dark after all." He told me. That was understandable. I noticed what he was wearing. He wore a white dress shirt that wasn't buttoned all the way with a black tie that hung loosely around his neck. His shirt was open enough that I noticed something on his chest. "Hey Zoro, what's that on your chest?"

He didn't look down because he was driving, but I knew that he knows what I'm talking about. "Oh, you mean this scar? I got it a really long time ago." He left it at that. For once I didn't want to pry. Usually I'd annoy the heck out of someone if they didn't tell me something that I didn't know.

We got to the school and walked up to the gym area. The whole place was more like a club than a dance. The room filled me up with energy. I began to bounce up and down to the rhythm of the music. "Come on, let's find the others!" I pulled Zoro along with me. I spotted the food table and instantly forgot what I was doing. "Food!" I raced over to the table and stuffed my face with all sorts of food.

"Do you even know what eating?" Zoro asked.

"Ipo momut mitmis! (I know what it is!)" I said with a mouth full of food.

"Hey guys! You made it!" it was Usopp who called. I waved at them with cheeks full of food. Sanji, Nami and, Vivi was with him. Sanji and Zoro gave each other death glares. I drank half of the punch bowl as I listened to them.

"Didn't expect you to actually come here, Mossy." Sanji said.

"Well I am. So get over it Curly." Zoro said back. Usopp stepped in between there confrontation.

"Come on Sanji, lets go dance." He pulled on his arm. I gasped.

"Zoro lets go to! I want to dance!" I dragged him to the bulk of the dance floor as ignored his protests.

"I don't dance!" he tried. Everyone in the crowed was bumping and grinding against each other. If everyone wasn't wearing clothes it would look like there having sex standing up. (That's how it is at the dances of my school) I decided to do what everyone else was doing. I turned around and started grinding against Zoro. He jumped in surprise and tried to move away but I my arms flung backwards around his neck keeping him in place.

"Luffy!" he gasped. I moved my hips to the beat of the music (song of your choice). He grabbed my hips in an attempt to stop me, but he couldn't stop me.

"I'm starting to feel a bit claustrophobic." He rasped. I giggled and moved even closer to him. I was glad when he finally got into it. I got the strangest feeling that I was getting a bit dizzy, but in a good way. I felt like doing crazy wild things.

"Woooh, Zoro I love this song!" My footing started to get off balance and would have fallen but Zoro caught me.

"Are you ok, Luffy?" he asked with slight concern.

"Yeah, Zoro I feel- I feel terfec! I never been-hic-better! What was I talkin' bout?" I slurred my words dizzily.

"Oh god Luffy. Are you drunk?" Zoro sighed. I wasn't listening as I was singing badly along with the song that was playing.

Zoro dragged me out the crowd. "On my god what happened?" Vivi fretted.

"I think he might be drunk." Zoro responded.

"Did he drink the punch? We recently figured out that someone spiked it." Nami said.

"Show me the way to go home. Everybody! I tired and I wanna go to bed. Just the women!" I sang.

"I should take him home before he starts throwing up all over the gym floor." Zoro lifted me up over his shoulder.

"Nooooo, I wanna stay! I have every right as a human being! Party! Party!" I struggled.

"Hold still or I'll drop you!" Zoro hissed. I stopped struggling.

"Ok mommy."

He carried me to the car. He gave me a bag. "Don't throw up all over the place." He said.

Normal POV:

On the ride home, Luffy almost threw up. But thank god he didn't. He was a wiz at keeping food in my stomach. Zoro helped him upstairs. Ace wasn't home for some reason. He left a note saying that he's out drinking with some buddies or something.

"Don't go. Stay please." Luffy whined as he helped him lay down on his bed.

"Ok, if it makes you happy." He sighed. Zoro moved to kiss him on my forehead. Before he could moved away Luffy pulled him in for a kiss on the lips. It was a soft kiss at first. It eventually got more intense. Zoro could taste that alcohol in his mouth. Zoro moved to kiss and nibble him on his warm neck. He listened to the wet beating of Luffy's pulse. Zoro's throat felt a bit dry but he ignored it. When he looked up to see the other's face it turned out that Luffy fell asleep.

Zoro sighed. "Good night my little prince." Zoro tucked him in and quietly left.
