I'm sorry for my lack of updates lately and I'm so happy that there was so much happiness from you all when you learned that I was continuing this ficlet. I want to say thank you to all of you for sticking with this so far and I hope you enjoy this update which has been long overdue.

This is part one of an update for the lovely newneon~

Waking up and not finding Sanji beside him sent a chill to Zoro's stomach which was sated by the comforting smell of pancakes in the kitchen along with the muffled high and lower pitched sounds which he knew belonged to his son and his... his boyfriend? He wasn't sure what Sanji was but boyfriend sounded great to Zoro right now as he gazed up at the white painted ceiling with the pleasant ache of last night in his lower back and thighs, and the sweet smell of breakfast in the air.

He could make out Sanji listing ingredients and measurements, and the occasional, "That's great, Tony!" and the sound of him praising his son sent a happiness like no other thrumming through Zoro's blood. It was cheesy maybe, but it was perfect. Zoro had found the perfect match, someone who wasn't intimidated by the fact that he was a single father and got along fantastically with his son. Someone he cared for and who cared for him too. He couldn't have asked for anything more.

The cool air that chilled the foot that had been left out of the covers reminded him of the season and that this was Christmas morning. He sat up immediately and got out of bed, stretching in a way that made the muscles in his lower back ache just right and he exhaled heavily before seeking out some boxers, pyjama bottoms, and his dressing gown to cover his naked body before leaving his bedroom and heading downstairs towards the kitchen.

He found Tony at the table, a glass mixing bowl on the surface with a pale mixture sloshing around inside as he whisked it vigorously, his chubby face smeared with lines of flour. He grinned when he saw Zoro and leapt from the table and into his father's arms with a cry of "Happy Christmas, dad!"

Zoro held him close and firm in the embrace, picking his son up with ease and simply marvelling at how happy Tony was. This was the happiest he'd been at Christmas since his father and mother split up and it brought an uplift to Zoro's heart to see his son so happy. Tony clung fiercly to him so Zoro didn't put him down and instead moved over to Sanji with Tony on his hip. Sanji stood at the stove with a pancake frying in the pan which he deposited on a plate to the right of him.

"Good morning, blondie." He said.

Sanji turned round, surprised by the sudden intrusion but smiled when he saw who it was, "Good morning, mosshead."

Zoro leaned in and kissed the other without any hesitation, the hazy thoughts of last night's events sending a warm buzz through his blood as he did so. Sanji reciprocated happily and they shared a brief but meaningful kiss which was finished by Tony staring at them when they parted. Zoro went to explain to his son when Tony whispered in awe, still looking up at them, "My Christmas wish came true..."

Sanji blinked and then laughed as Zoro mussed Tony's curly hair fondly, Zoro smiling at him, "I guess so, Tony."
