Calm Down, We Can Just Elope
Chapter 2
Sanji walks into the living room yawning. "Give me my ten bucks."
Zoro groans from his spot on the sofa. "Seriously? No good morning slash evening? 'Give me my ten bucks'?"
"Yea, I know you Zoro, I know that if I don't demand them now I will never get them."
"Aww, aren't we supposed to share our money and stuff now? Now that we're engaged."
Sanji rolls his eyes and turns to walk to the kitchen. "You wish, at best we do that only when we're married. I don't trust you with my money."
"My heart is broken!" Zoro shouts through the open door to the kitchen.
"Don't shout and come here moss-brain! I know you haven't eaten breakfast yet!"
Zoro slumps in and sits by the table, watching cook's bare back as the later worked; did the idiot understood he was still in underwear? Did he no longer care? Before he would at best walk shirtless when it was really hot. Was this one of the signs he was accepting their engagement? "Stop staring at my ass!"
Sanji quickly turned at Zoro and threw empty eggshell at him. The green haired barely avoided it by leaning to his left. "Hey! I didn't!"
The blond hums in a way that's clear he didn't believe his roommate, but doesn't say anything more about it, instead choosing to change topic. "Thanks for turning off my phone by the way, I really needed that sleep."
Zoro grins teasingly and even though Sanji can't see him they both know he did. "No problem, everything for my darling." Another eggshell comes flying and this time Zoro avoids it while laughing. "It felt like you weren't ready to deal with it yet, so I spared you."
"Go fetch my phone for me then, oh dear fiancé~" Sanji asks in sweet tone and Zoro can feel his cheeks flushing, so he quickly stands up and goes to the bedroom he spent the night in. He was quite confused, Sanji acted like nothing happened while he clearly did remember everything that happened last night. Did he think it was only a joke? Then why was he still wearing that godsdamned ring?! He was giving Zoro too much hope! He couldn't help, but feel that fluttering feeling inside his gut from a mere thought of Sanji wearing ring he gave to him…
Meanwhile Sanji was having his own inner freak out.
What the hell had he done yesterday? Why was he taking it in so easily? Why Zoro let him? Where the fuck were they going with this? And why the hell did it feel like a dam was lifted and all that the blond now wanted was to kiss Zoro again?
After yesterday when he saw Zoro as potential man for himself and kissed him he couldn't stop thinking of the possibility. The problem was that because he knew Zoro so well after all those years he could imagine spending even more time with the dumbass. And the thought of them having sex… Sanji felt his cheeks heat up - damn the image in his head was too hot to ignore…
Zoro comes back in the kitchen and if Sanji didn't know him as good as he did he wouldn't have noticed anything, but because he does know Zoro he sees that tiny speck of guilt shining in Zoro's green eyes as he puts Sanji's phone next to him. The blond is quick to finish baking omelet (he doesn't care it's eight pm, he wants breakfast, so he will eat breakfast) for him and Zoro then quickly throws plates on the table and grabs his phone as he sits down at the table. It takes no time to turn on his phone and he winces as he sees double of messages and missed calls than there was when he first woke up.
Ignoring the calls and the messages Sanji quickly goes to the picture he posted and looks through what people commented on it. People that don't know him that well like his course mates are congratulating him and he even sees a comment from professor and if that's not embarrassing as hell that he doesn't know what is.
His friends are mainly confused 'cause they saw him less than twelve hours ago and they had no clue. Several of his ex-girlfriends whit whom he had a nasty break up are making fun of him (and why the hell did he still have them among his friends?!) and there are several cousins who tease him for being gay and coming out in such a weird way. The worst part is probably comments from Zoro's part of the family because even his older sister and father commented, both a bit surprised by suddenness of it but saying they knew this day will come.
As if that's not enough he quickly sees the reason Zoro looked so guilty – a picture of him sleeping half naked. There's a bunch of wolf whistle comments below that one and even more confusion from their friends about how their relationship escalated quickly. By the end of it he's ready to smoother Zoro with a pillow and throw his body into a river. When he raises his head he sees the culprit has eaten his breakfast/dinner and was staring at him without any guilt but instead this Cheshire Cat smile.
Sanji jumps up and kicks Zoro in his gut sending him flying from the chair to the ground. He runs to the laying Marimo and starts stomping on his gut cursing the man. Zoro mainly stops his kicks with his hands, but he also laughs a bit and Sanji can't understand how there's anything funny in their situation.
He stops after a while and sighs while searching for a smoke and understanding he wasn't wearing anything but underwear so he had no smokes on him. A bit embarrassed he goes back to his room and puts on some casual wear, taking of a cigarette immediately and lighting it up as he walks back to the kitchen to eat his now cold breakfast.
"Gods damn it Marimo, it feels like you actually want to marry me!" He says as he sits down next to the kitchen table where once again Zoro sits in front of him like nothing ahppened, nursing a cup of coffee, another cup steaming by Sanji's plate.
"Maybe I do, why shouldn't I? You're awesome."
Zoro grins and Sanji feels the same amount annoyed and honored, not every day you get to hear someone would totally marry you. "Pffft, shit, I can't even get angry at you, you stupid moss-brain! Stop being likeable!"
"Why should I when my charm is clearly working?"
Sanji rolls his eyes. "You wish."
"Don't deny it, I see that blush on your cheeks and I know who caused it."
"That sounded like the lamest threat ever."
"Because it's not." Sanji lifts up his eyes from his coffee mug and sees this beautiful smile on Marimo's face and it makes his heart jump out of his chest and Sanji thinks he's probably sick, because what the hell?! "It's a promise."
"You sounded so corny right now, and it didn't make much sense..."
Zoro laughs and shrugs. "It worked, it's easy when I know you so well."
Silence comes over them as Sanji finishes his smoke and starts on his breakfast/dinner. The blond feels Zoro's eyes on him as he eats but it doesn't bother him much because from experience he knows that his roommate is simply spacing out. While eating he tries to think of what he should do now, everyone he knows have seen his post and relationship change by now. How the hell can all of this be undone? This thing was way too embarrassing to just break off and then tell everyone and their brother why exactly they did that.
There's also the problem with WHY THE HELL DID HE AGREE?!
Sanji's head hits the table top and he groans. Why was he so stupid? Why the hell did he agree to Zoro's random proposal?! A stupid decision he didn't even know he made… well, kind of… yesterday he kind of realized Zoro was really hot, and then Zoro proposed, he was in a daze… yes, he was in a daze and intoxicated… it was all Marimo's fault!
"It's all your fault… what are we gonna do now, got any brilliant ideas moss-brain?"
"Hmmm, we can just get married you know."
"Fuck no, get real, do you actually wanna spend the rest of your life with me?" Sanji raised his head from the table. "Do you?" He insisted, eyes narrowed, voice dripping with anger. Zoro's face said it all and Sanji realized he should have known better. Because Zoro was blushing (and since when Marimo was able of such actions?! He looked too damn cute!), eyes averted to side, hand covering his mouth probably to stop himself from saying anything. Blond slumped in his chair and looked up at the ceiling - it used to be white, but now from all the cooking it was a bit yellowy… "You actually do want to marry me." Sigh. "Fuck. I'm blind ain't I?"
"It's something hard to see when you know each other since childhood. I had to have it pointed out by Robin that I'm way to attached to you and your ways."
Sanji closed his eyes. "Of course it was Robin-chwan, she sees everything, doesn't she? Even understood that it would be useless for her to say that to me…"
Once again silence fell between them and Sanji sat there without knowing what to say, waiting for Zoro to make the first move.
"So, still gonna marry me?"
Blond chef couldn't stop the smile on his face even if he tried at those words, he chuckled as he answered. "It's not like we can't divorce if I'm tired of your shit. But still, even if we did get married for real… all that shit we're gonna get from our family and friends… ugh, my head hurts just from imagining!"
"Well, we can just elope, you know? Run away, get married someplace, post some pictures, pretend we planned it, come back, ignore everybody till they calmed down – and it's done."
"Why are you so stupid? No, it doesn't work that way Marimo, they're gonna kill us even more, you think anyone we know would miss a chance to make fun of us for the rest of our lives about it? If we get married properly they will calm down after that at least…"
Zoro stood up from the table. "Huh, you have a point."
He walked around the table to Sanji's side and stopped right next to the blond. "What do you want dumbass?"
The green haired man grinned. "A kiss."
That was all warning he got before Zoro's rough lips claimed his and Sanji relaxes into Zoro's hands when they wrap around his shoulder. Suddenly he's lifted up and finds himself sat upon on the table, Zoro slips in between his open legs. Not even thinking much about it Sanji wraps his legs around Zoro's waist and pulls their crotches closer. The green haired man's arm leaves his shoulders and dived into blond's long locks.
Their lips move feverishly and Sanji finds himself moaning into the kiss. Zoro's tongue is hot and wet and all kinds of good and it completely took over Sanji's mouth but he doesn't mind at all. Way to soon their mouths part and Sanji opens his eyes to see what was wrong and why Zoro stopped, he sees his still fiancé looking at him with lustful gaze and gets a shiver down his spine.
"How about I fulfill that promise I made yesterday before we went to sleep?"
Sanji has to think a little to remember what promise Zoro was talking about and he almost moans when he remembers it. Even though the offer sounds very appealing Sanji shakes his head. "Na-ha Marimo, you jumped to many steps already, will have to wait for sex, I want dates and gifts, you're not getting me this easily, put in some effort." Sanji prodded his forefinger into Zoro's chest. "And right now you're in some trouble, say what you want but you're mostly at fault when it comes to this engagement business, don't think I'm stupid Zoro, I know you and the way you try to get things you want."
"But you're the one who agreed."
"I don't deny it, but you initiated it, now stop trying to avoid the topic of skipping who knows how many steps when you get engaged without dating. We don't need many of them, but this is too big of a gap to jump through. You got me. Happy? I'm ready to see you as something more than a friend, but now you will have to work to convince me you're worth keeping."
The green haired man raised an eyebrow. "Isn't this a two way street? What will you do? Sit with your arms folded and wait for your shinning prince?"
Sanji laughed. "Nah, I won you over already didn't I? Besides, I'm positive all I need is few fine dinners and you will be at the beck of my call."
"So sure of yourself shit-cook?"
Sanji hums and puts a chaste kiss on Zoro's lips before slipping out of his hold and sauntering to his bedroom. "Let's wait and see, ne?"
Once back in his room Sanji collapsed on his bed and groaned. What the hell just happened?!
