The truth – pert 2

the song that you could listen when reading this ch is: Nightcore - coming home the slow and sad version(youtube: / watch?v=3B5UTs-nyzc)

(edit this ch - again! this keep delete scenes I write, damn you Doc Manager I hate you!)

In the balcony, Sanji lean on the well and smoke with silence looking at the stars in the sky, Usopp stand a little close to the end of the balcony looking at them too, silence.

"So Usopp, do you mind start talking about what it is? I don't have all night"

"I'm not sure…if I should, you look happy tonight"

"So you think after what you have to say, I won't be?" Sanji said with calm voice, Usopp seem to shake a little

"I..I"m not sure how you react, that the problem"

"There is one way to found out" Sanji said smoothly

"I was thinking of telling you this for a long time" he said with shaken hands, Sanji raise an eyebrow.

"Oh my god, sorry Usopp but I really can't go out with you! I like you as my best friend and all but this is…kind off…"

Usopp sand him the most dumb face ever and point at him

"Who will want to go out with you, you idiot?! I have a girl friend! I rather die than to go out with you! Sorry, you still my best friend and all"

Sanji laugh and was glad the atmosphere change, this was the same Usopp he know again, and it was good to see he's acting normal again unlike a few minutes ago.

Usopp sigh and take a deep breath, looking serious and sad again

"But seriously Sanji, I have to tell you this or I'm going to explode. Just…promise you won't take it too hard, it been a long time already so…"

Sanji sigh deeply and take another cigarette to his mouth, why can't he just tell him what it all about already?! From what he been so afraid off anyway?! Well, it's like what he just said, there is one way to find out and that he just tells him what it is already. It starts to get on his nerves.

"Either you tell me or not tell me, make out your mind now or I'm going back to the party"

"No wait, Sanji!" Usopp shout and hold his arm from leaving.

"I don't know if it the right time or not or if I'm doing the right thing here or not, but if I won't tell you now, I will never could! so…please don't hate me too much for this okay?"

Sanji nodded to show him he understand and to keep going, Usopp bit his lower lip and continued

"I lied to you when I said Nami was the last one to leave the blue kingdom, the truth is I was the last one that left to see the end of the blue kingdom. I sew everything Sanji, I can tell you what happen to everyone that you know, right here right now"

Sanji eyes gone wide open with shock and for a moment he stops breathing, why did he lie to him about this? So that what Usopp was struggling so much, But he needed to know no matter how hard it was he needed it.

With a deep breath Sanji looked straight at Usopp that shake and hold his lower lip, trying to hold himself.

"Keep going Usopp, no matter how hard it is I can take it" he said softly and Usopp cry a little, but hurry and wipe his face.

"The one that kill the king was also the one that kill your mother Sanji, He was tall with pink glasses and a long robe. he was so crazy I thought he kill me too"

"What…my..no it can't be! No!" Sanji try to absorb and understand what Usopp telling him, he really did, but his heart and mind giving him trouble.

"Zeff died too after he sand you away, the last time I saw him he give me a bag full of money from this world he hold all this year's"

Usopp said without looking at his eyes and right after he finish he take out the bag from where was the party, showing it to him.

"He said he wanted me to give this to you, but not telling you from who it is. He always was like that, you know"

Sanji heart froze, like his body. It can't be, the old man was…no, it can't be. And yet he heard himself ask

"And the others that come against us? the kingdom?..at least some of them.."

Usopp shake his head, biting hard his lower lip and tearing up

"I'm so sorry Sanji…they all gone now. they were killed, if it by that crazy guy or the boss that order Gin around…but when I check it, it was all…gone"

Sanji wasn't sure what it was, but something in him break in that moment, he couldn't even cry or scream it out or putting it into words, but it was there and it break in him. Forever. he could see clearly in his mind, everything he sew and everything he grew to love in his kingdom. the people, the smells, the children wonder around the streets, the old women, the young women, man from all age's, and even the wondering hungry people. his maids that take care of him, his teachers, his father Advisors, the guards and stand around and sometimes talk to each other, his mother and his rough father, the cooks that mass around and even the gardeners. everything look so close by, the people, the palace and street he use to play with Nami and Usopp as a child, the light that lit at night. yeas, that was his home, he remember them all, even if he didn't talk to everyone that lived in the kingdom. Zeff was there too, doing what he was good at and curse him. the memories look so real, like he could touch it.

"I…I'm soo sorry Sanji…I wanted to tell you but…I couldn't! It's not fair!" Usopp scream and stand there with his fists close to his body, crying hard

"It's not fair!"

Sanji kept standing there, he wasn't shock anymore, He just was frozen and little tears slide slowly to his cheeks. It was odd, He was sure he was in so much pain right now but the only thing that comes out was little drops of tears, slow and gentle. And he was just there, standing, looking forward ahead of them and watching his memories going by his eyes, with little drops of tears.

...

Little they know Nami was listing and standing close to the balcony, putting one hand on hear mouth, She was crying too with her beautiful dress and hair on her face, she was crying without a voice.

But Luffy come and put his hat on her head, with serious expression

"Did someone hurt you again Nami? Just tell me and I kick his ass"

She smile with silence and shake her head

"Don't worry about it, it's nothing. Thanks Luffy"

"Shishi you welcome" he smiled brightly at her and take her hand to the party, slowly she come with him.

...

On the balcony again, after a long hour of Usopp wiping and Sanji frozen, Usopp wiped his face first.

"Sanji, we can live here…we should forget about the kingdom. Sanji?" He noticed him finally. Sanji didn't answer or look at him. He just stared forward, his tears kept going down but he didn't say anything. Something was very off in his state, and Usopp know he have to do something.

"Oi Sanji, talk to me…" he said with worry and moved closer to him, shaking his shoulders up and down.

"Sanji! Don't do this! I know that you love the Blue Kingdom. I love it too but…we can't stay in the past anymore! The kingdom is gone and we can't come back there!" he yelled at him, but it seemed not to do anything to Sanji's state. He just kept standing there frozen with his expression, that weird and scary expression.

"Sanji! Please, just…say something! Anything… please!"

But Sanji didn't answer or move, he just remained frozen. He didn't answer to anything Usopp tried to say to him, which made Usopp panic.

"Shit! What have I done...I need to find someone."

Before he could do anything, Zoro jumpd in and pulled Sanji to him, covering his eyes with his big hand. His other hand held Sanji's lower chest close to his body and he frowned at Usopp.

"What the hell did you do?!" Zoro growled and Usopp jumped back with fear.

"I…I had to tell him the truth about our kingdom. I had to Zoro! I could not keep it in anymore," he said with panic.

"Ah?! What the hell is with your kingdom?" Zoro asked, not getting it

"The Blue Kingdom is gone, there nothing left of it so…"

"And? Who cares about that stuff, we're living here now! Why talk about it?!"

Usopp looked at him for a moment with wide eyes, and then he laughed an ironic laugh, Zoro was just too direct.

"What's so funny?!" Zoro was starting to get pissed off at this guy.

"No... it's just…when you say it like that, it sounds too simple…" He put his hands on his hips.

"It kind of stupid, but it's easier said than done. Sanji and I can never forget about our first home, neither can Nami. It just how it is," he said and sighed sadly.

"I didn't ask you to forget about it, just don't talk about it! It's stupid and only bring pain."

"I get you Zoro, really I do. But Sanji has the right to know the truth, at least that he has to know."

"Yes, whatever. Are you done? Then fuck off" Zoro growled. He was really getting irritated on him and the subject.

"No I'm not done Zoro, Geez, I need to give you something before I go. Technically it belongs to Sanji, But I trust you give it to him when he's ready," Usopp said, and give Zoro the bag he receives from Zeff, sighing.

Zoro took it from him and examined the bag.

"It's from Zeff, Sanji's mentor. That was his last thing for him. Please take care of Sanji for me okay. I have to go and get the others to help Sanji." With that, Usopp made to leave, but Zoro stopped him

"Wait! Don't call them, I can take care of the shitty cook." With a determined look in his eyes, Usopp looked at him. The two looked in each other eyes for a long moment, until Usopp sighed and gave in.

He trusted Zoro enough to take care of Sanji, and he hoped he was right in this.

"Okay, got it. But if it doesn't work, we'll call everyone!" he said hopelessly and worried, and went out from the balcony, leaving Zoro and Sanji alone together under the stars. Zoro smiled a little and whispered after him.

"Thanks Usopp," he said, but the other man didn't hear him and Zoro was glad he didn't.

Now, onto the other problem at hand. Zoro took a look at the frozen Sanji and sighed deeply. This was going to be such a headache, but spoke into Sanji's ear anyway.

"Hey, I know you can hear me shitty cook." When he didn't get any respond from him, Zoro took him in a long embracement. He held him tightly and waited for him to come back from wherever the hell he was right now.

"Look, I don't know anything about your shitty kingdom or what it was like to live there…but I don't care either, I never felt like I belonged anywhere until I met you! I don't care where we live or how, I just want to stay with you, got it!?"

He growled to himself. He really didn't want to say it to him, it sounded so sappy, stupid and disgusting! But to hell with it, he just had to say it. he wanted to bring the idiot back!

"It will be alright, shitty cook. I'm with you and I'll never leave you. So come back to me, it will be alright," he said softly and closed his eyes.

"Everything will be alright, I'm with you, I love you asshole!" he kept on saying to him again and again, waiting and not giving up. He planned to say it all night, and maybe all his life but after a long hours, he said it to him and felt Sanji shake. He was moving again and it was a good sign.

"She…was right. About everything…she was," the cook mumbled shakily, Zoro didn't get what he was mumbling about, so he just moved his hand over his eyes to look at him.

"What did…?" Zoro started to ask but the cook keep going, holding onto him like his life depended on it.

"The fortune taller, she told me what is going to happen. Everything, she was right – I did lose everything when I met you."

Zoro was silent and just looked at him with a serious face, he seemed better now somehow but still bad. More calm than sad, although the deep sadness was still there in his face and eyes.

"I know what the future was and yet…I could not stop it," Sanji said ironically, but then smile a little at him. It was a loving smile and sad at the same time.

"But you know Zoro, I don't regret meeting you. cause…I feel the same way." He hid his face against Zoro's chest, and, looking at him closely, his ears seemed red. Zoro felt relief behind all his control, for a moment there, Sanji had really scared him, that little asshole.

"Finally decided to join us I see shitty cook?"

"Fuck you, I was really hurt back there! But I won't run away from it."

"Shit and I wanted to wait with this shit, but you make me want to say it now! It's all your fault and your shitty past!" Zoro grumbled with a deep frown, hating the situation.

"What do you want…you…" but before he mange to say anything more, Zoro kissed him hard on the lips, taking all his breath away and leaving Sanji with no words or the ability to think about anything.

"Marry me Sanji! I want you to be mine forever."

"Did you just….propose to me after the worst news of my entire life?!"

"It's your fault asshole, with your little act! What's so wrong with saying it now!? I'm ready if you are, we can run together."

"You just…don't have any sense of tact do you?! Just like your sense of direction."

Sanji accused him and glared. Now that was more like the Sanji that Zoro liked to see.

"Will you shut up! Stop bitching about my sense of direction or I'll cut you!"

"It's not my fault you a moron that don't have any!"

They started to argue again, and Sanji kicked Zoro chin, sending him flying into the wall. This was how all normal fights started, to the others' joy and laughter.

Four months after the party, Sanji used Zeff's money to build his own restaurant and to pay off Zoro's debt. So Zoro's house was saved and Zoro could practice to become the best swordsman in the world by fighting all kind of opponents around the world. Sanji's restaurant succeeded so much that he bought a boat of his own to sail the sea he loved so much and hoping to someday to come back to visit his grave.

When Zoro came back from his trip to become stronger, that was what he called it, he ask him on their new boat.

"Will you marry me Sanji?"

The end

AN: this is going to be soo long lol. yay you reach the end of this fanfic, if you mange to stay with me all this chapters, I want to thank you from the bottom of my heart and say that you all amazing and I sand a cake to everyone that follow, favorite and review this story - thank you so much!.
I know it wasn't a very good ending, and maybe too "happy" -.- in my taste too. I Actually plan to end it very very badly and sad. but I change my mind in the lest minute. I could do it to Sanji, but I just didn't wanted to end it that way, even if it's more fit as an end to this story. I just love a happy ending, so...I could not stop myself.
If you want the know about the other more real ending for this here it is:
Zoro words fail to reach Sanji and he stay frozen like that forever, like he just would not respond to anyone ever again. Sanji stay in his own world of memories of his people from his kingdom, and his parents and Zeff there he could come back to the home he know and love so much. Zoro going after Usopp to kill him with his swords with cold blood. The others try too to wake up Sanji, but nothing work, not even Luffy words or actions. after a lot of Attempts and bringing in psychologists that try to wake Sanji, the crew give up and Hospitalize him in a Mental institution that feed him and keep him alive. Zoro come to visit him everyday, even if he know that his Sanji was gone and he will never come back. after some years, that Zoro fail to pay the dept, since he didn't care anyway XD he make the institution Hospitalize him as well with Sanji. making himself seem crazy so they won't refuse, and stay by Sanji side like that. and that's how it end XD
To be honest, my original plan was totally different from this endings. I plan at first, when I only start to write this that Sanji would come back to his kingdom, after he and Zoro fall in love and pay Zoro debt. only to see in his own eyes the Destruction and blood that was left everywhere there. And see his mother and father Corpses, to Sanji angst lol. of course he break down and all the good stuff and suffering I could give him. In the end Zoro make him stand up and bury them with him. comfort him and saying he stay with him where ever he go, and he should not give up. Sanji decided with heavy heart, not to take revenge like Zoro wanted him too, but to start to build the kingdom again. the kingdom that he love so much, and he did start to do that with Zoro help.
After some years Luffy and the others come to help them too, especially Nami with her brilliant plans.
BUT...with the deadline so close by, I could not go there cause it would take more then 10 chapters to write and I didn't have that time to write it all. So I decided to Compromise on this ending. even if it's not feel that good like my original ending, I still like it ^.^ I hope you would like it too.
