I planned to make this as a shot, yet it was tooooooooo long so I had to – again – broke it into two parts. Sorry. Actually, I already had this idea popped up first before the 8th story, but then again I was kind of stuck. So I finished this now after I dug further into my brain. Ouch!
I still hope you can enjoy the whole story though, *cheers*

How to : (9) Make a Perfect Dessert -Part 1-
* HnO HnO HnO HnO HnO HnO HnO HnO HnO HnO HnO *
"Yoo!, waiting long?" the muscular man greeted the lankier one who had been sitting for half an hour ago, sipping his not hot anymore coffee.
"I should have come later than I should be." He chided, regretting his decision. A book in his right hand, while his left cheek was red with the size of palm, because he was leaning on his left hand while he read the whole time, waiting for this exact person.
"Sorry 'bout that… but you know. The path has been changed again, so how the hell should I know my-"
"The path didn't change, idiot! You are just being you!"
"Me being me?"
"Yeah… LOST! These days I really wonder, how could you go back home…" the lanky brunette said without masking his sarcasm tone.
"Shut up..! why are we meeting again anyway?" the muscled head asked. He had already been sat in front of the brunette, downing a glass of water that has been served.
"Tsk! I don't know do I still want to talk about this or not…" he sulked. He took off his glasses and pinched the bridge of his nose, feeling tired.
"Come on man.. I know, I'm sorry I am late."
"Yeah you should." He snorted.
"Kay… so? What's up?"
At first the brunette sighed. He really lost his mood after waiting for half an hour for this green head muscled hair idiot who always lost his way. But he had no other choice, this man in front of him was the most normal to discuss about matters like this. Not that he got no one to talk to, but you see, most of his friends are absurd and love him too very much, they will be teasing him about this matter for the rest of his life. He didn't want that AT ALL!
The brunette opposite him seemed to be in a deep thought. As he was genuinely respecting other's personal space, he didn't urge the lankier man to explain what was this meeting is all about. The green head took the menu from the stand and see through the drink menu. He placed his order and gave all his attention back to the brunette who was still scowling.
[Well, here goes nothing] the brunette thought.
"So actually… it was about Luffy." He started.
"Luffy?"
"Yeah…" he paused for some seconds, looking for something from the other. The man raised an eyebrow, indicating that he was ready to listen to whatever the other would blab.
"Everything was great. I mean… every night, but lately…" he sighed, "it's kind of… we kind of… losing some rhythm… I think?"
"Go on…"
"Well, everyday were great, but lately I feel he was.. something was off, though I don't catch it well."
"Mind to spare the detail?"
"I don't think he satisfied with our sex lately." Law sulked.
"Whew! And here I thought, something bad was happening to that monkey."
"This isn't a good thing either, Zoro-ya!"
"Here's your order. Enjoy."
"Oh, thank you." Zoro said curtly, before continuing what he wanted to say, "I know. I do understand that. I had been with that stupid cook for like… ages! Uh.. sorry. Didn't mean that. OK… ehm…" the muscled head cleared his throat before continuing what he had left, "So… it seems the two of you haven't explore so many things, did I guess this right?"
"What is this thing are you talking?"
"Sex position…?" then he grinned, leaving the lanky brunette redden in the process.
"Of course we tried!" Law nearly shriek, though he managed not to, not in public. Dammit!
"Dirty talk him while you are having him?"
"Uh… not one of a sweet-talker."
"I do too… well, at least when I am with him, I try to become one. Once a while."
"How you do that?"
"Do your research boy… You don't search things only for your research. This too is what you have to do to show your love. Ugh… I didn't really do it, though, but… sometimes… ukh.." now it was Zoro's who was turning red.
"You did? Wow! Never expecting that." Law snickered. It was more a friendly banter than anything.
"Well, if you want more info, I think you can ask that stupid cook to answer you better. I suck at explanation." He said sheepishly, scratching his neck.
"Naah… I'm okay. Will do my homework. I'll do your suggestion. Thanks, Zoro-ya."
"Don't mention it. Tell me the good news later then."
"Will try to."
* HnO HnO HnO HnO HnO HnO HnO HnO HnO HnO HnO *
"They had that problem? Doesn't Luffy want to try new things? I thought he's one hell of explorer."
"I don't know… maybe it just it didn't pop in his mind." Said Zoro, making both of his arms as a pillow. He was sprawling on their shared bed, watching the Celeste colored ceiling. It was his lover's idea to paint it that way, so the ceiling wouldn't be so boring. He couldn't agree more.
"So, what do you suggest?" asked his lover, falling onto the bed beside him, giving him a kiss on his tanned forehead, before propping himself with both of his slender arms, reading the recipe books randomly. He didn't even realize that his book was upside down. Sheesh!
"Google?" he got a soft slap.
"Baka marimo!"
"You got better idea heh, aho-cook?!" the greenhead rolled his eyes unamused.
"Heh… Well, I'll show you the result. But I need your help."
"For?"
"You'll see."
"On what terms, you think I will help you out? We are competing, aren't we?"
"Winner can ask the loser to do anything. How's that's sound?" the blond challenged. His clear ocean beads were sparkling with vigor. Confidence was written all of his pretty face. Zoro loved it when his lover was in this state.
Both of them loved challenge, so they could over powered each other. That was why they showed their love with banter, sparring, all those other lovers didn't do. But they loved what they did, and supposedly they weren't those normal lovers. The two of them were special.
Zoro flip himself and deliberately toppled over the slender body, getting a cute yelp he was expecting for.
"What are you doing, you big idiot! You do know you are all muscle!" hissed the blond under the familiar weight.
Indeed, it was heavy, but he couldn't help but feel safe under him. The green head smirked then whispered dangerously seductive just a millimeter from the blond's sensitive earlobe,
"But you like it, don't you?" followed by a soft bite on it. A soft moan slipped from the trembling lips.
How could Sanji resist the temptation given by his idiot Marimo? Not even hell will stop him.
But he wasn't Sanji if he didn't retaliate.
"Cheater… attacking my sensi- mmph!" even before he could retort, his foul mouth was sealed by a pair of hot lips. It was sloppy but gentle and loving.
His mind shutdown. Answering back the kiss, their tongues were now battling for dominance. Savoring each other, they drowned in ecstasy.

"Which one better for Luffy?" The blond asked. Zoro frowned, thinking. It shouldn't be so hard if the color option was red. This time was….
"Don't you think Luffy will be perfect with red?"
"Sometimes it's nice to change you know. So..? Black or yellow?"
"Uhh…. Yellow? Luffy won't blend well with dark color."
"Hmp… you think so? You will be surprised how 'the don't blend well' work out perfectly." Sanji stuck out his tongue.
"I know that perfectly."
"Huh?"
"You in my cloths…"
"Kuso aho!"
"… or us?" he added, smirking pompously.
"Well that… I can't argue." The blond grinned then moved forward, stealing a quick peck on his lover's chapped lips. No lust, No seduction, just a chaste loving kiss.
"Well, then gotta go! Byee!" Sanji continued, after slipping his feet into his favorite black shoes.
"Careful on your way shit cook!"
"You too! And make sure you go to the police station if you are lost!"
"Fucker!" was the only word Sanji heard before he dashed away to the restaurant.
* HnO HnO HnO HnO HnO HnO HnO HnO HnO HnO HnO *
"To~ra~o~~~" Luffy sang and jumped onto Law's shoulder, hanging like a little monkey he was.
"Hello to you too little monkey.." Law turned his head and rewarded with a quick kiss on his cheek.
"How was your day? Lately, you seemed down."
"Am I? I thought it was you." Raising his eyebrow, the brunette asked back, seeing his little noirette was beside him, trotting his way.
"Mmn? I don't feel that way. By the waaayyy…. Look what I prepare for you…! Xixixi!"
"Oww..? Let see… where should we head to?"
"Kitchen!" his eyes were shinning with excitement. The two of them headed straightly to the kitchen as the navigator asked to.
"Taarrraaa!" Luffy sang with pride. 5 pieces of onigiri were waiting to be devour on the table. Only 1 of them was pretty in shape, while the other was quite…. You could say… they might have involved in accident.
"Oh wow! Now I'm surprised! What's the occasion?"
"So I can cheer you up.. Hixixi~ I know you are hungry! Let's dig in!"
"Aa! First thing first… lemme changed my cloth first."
After some minutes passed, Law was back in the kitchen, sitting together to devour what Luffy has offered.
"Well then… itadakimasu." The brunette said while clapping his hands once. Then he took the ugliest one.
"Why did you take that one?"
"Why?"
"You have to take the decent one! Here.." Luffy took the one in Law's hand and switched it with the perfect one.
"We will eat these together right?"
"Yup! That's why you have to take the prettiest one." The noirette grinned.
"You are silly."
"Because it's for Torao~ Lemme know how it taste."
"Let's see…" the stoic man then took a bite then proceeded to munch the onigiri. It wasn't as good as the cook's one, but this one was… kind of different. What was it that make it different? Law couldn't grasp it.
"You made this by yourself?"
"Uh-huh… I did. Why? It's not good?" he pouted.
"It's not that…. I can't quite explain it but…. It's delicious!" the surgeon praised his little one while taking another bite.
And Luffy was beaming with happiness.
"Is it? Are you sure? You're not lying, aren't you?" the happy little energy ball nearly jumped on his sit.
"Re-relax, Luffy-ya.. I didn't lie. This is indeed delicious."
"Xixixixixii~~ I made it with lots of love! Sanji said it will make all food more delicious." Said the little noirette.
"You love me so much, don't you?" Law smirked proudly.
"I do! Then, I will be taking this. Itadakimasssuuu!" he quickly bit half of the onigiri and munched it down, "uhh… how come you said this is delicious…" Luffy frowned, while munching.
"Here.. try mine?"
Luffy took a bite, munching it, then furrowed his eyebrows, "It's the same…" he sulked.
"But I think it is delicious."
"…. You are indeed strange Torao. Xixixi…"
"Well, look who is talking." The taller man grinned then looked to the onigiri on the table. "That means, everything is for me?"
"Naah… It's not delicious, but I'm still hungry."
"What are we waiting for then?"
Suddenly Law inclined his body and stole a bite Luffy's Onigiri.
"H-HEY! THAT's MINE!"
"Well, you don't like it. May as well I eat everything."
"That's not fair!" then he quickly did the same. He stole a bite from Law's.
"Heey!"
"Hixixixixi! Now it's fair!" he declared with his usual shit eating grinned. Law just rolled his eyes. Suddenly he realized something.
"Gosh… eat properly won't you?"
"Hnn?"
While Luffy was confused about what was he talking about, the surgeon cupped his chin and licked the corner of Luffy's lips.
"You got something on your lips, but I cleaned it up for you." He smirked playfully.
Luffy wasn't one to be easily embarrass but, him… Trafalgar Law was the only who could do it anytime anywhere to him. His face was getting a shade darker after saw Law playful smile and it stirred something inside Luffy.
"You aren't eating?"
"Uhh…. Leave some for me! Or you will be taking me out for dinner!"
"I'll take you wherever you want to.."
"Shishishi! That's a promise! You owe me a BBQ then~!" Luffy grinned, biting his onigiri, munching it with much gusto.

[You free today?] – Sanji 10.00AM
Luffy saw the Whatsapp message from the cook. Luffy scrunched his nose.
[I'm working right now. Will finish around 6.] – Luffy 11.23AM
Then he pressed the send button. He didn't wait for the reply, he then took his water bottle, drank a good amount from it, and quickly put the bottle back in his locker. He was still teaching and took a toilet break from his class, so he had to rush back before those little monsters dash out from their cage.
He dashed back to his classroom, and from the inside there was already a shout.
"LUFFYYY SENSEEEEIIIIIII!"
[Aah… what happened now?] he thought bitterly. His comrade/coworker, Carrot was still so young, she might be being troubled again by those little monsters.
"Cooommmiiinnnggg!" he shouted from outside.
* HnO HnO HnO HnO HnO HnO HnO HnO HnO HnO HnO *
[My shift today will be until 17 something, gotta go back first.] – Sanji 15.33PM
[I'll go to your place around 19 then. See u later!] – Sanji 15.33PM
[Hmm…. That's strange. Anything's wrong?] Luffy thought. He took a glance to the clock it showed 18.10PM.
It wasn't strange that Sanji wanted to come to their house, but this one… just unusual.
But Luffy didn't ask much. Sanji might wanted to talk to him about something, so he just gave the blond an Ok, then he walked back home.
It was half pas six something when Luffy reached his share flat.
"Tadaimaa…" he greeted even though he knew nobody will be answering his greetings.
"Okaeri, Luffy-ya.." came the reply from inside, which making the noirette jumped in surprised. Quickly he put off his shoes, and ran to living room. He saw his favorite spiky doctor was there on the couch with his limb arms spread on top of the sofa. He was looking over his shoulder to see the incoming energy boy, smirking. That scene was making something inside Luffy explode with excitement.
"You're home!?" Luffy beamed, seeing him. Luffy trotted joyfully towards his back and stopped there.
"I am. I worked half day today. Rarely isn't it?" Law laughed while looking up from his sit. Luffy placed a quick kiss on his lips before giggling.
"It is. But I like that." The noirette answered, leaving the man on the couch while he himself went to the bathroom.
"Wanna grab something to eat?" Law asked when he saw Luffy was already trotting towards him.
"Sanji said he want to come. He didn't tell you?"
"Hmm? He will come? What time?"
"Seven something?"
"Why?"
"I dunno. We can ask him to cook. I will never miss any of his cooking. Shishishishi~!" he grinned while sit beside Law before leaning against him.
"How's your day?" Law asked circling his arm around Luffy's waist, before placing a kiss on his jet black hair.
"Carrot had been bullied again." Luffy giggled while his gaze was locked onto the television. "Then.. Ninjin Headbutted me."
"He what?"
"When I rushed into the class after Carrot shouted, Ninjin headbutted me right in my stomach. Shishishsi! If I didn't come in time, he would crash onto the door."
"Kids…" Law sighed, rubbing Luffy's abdomen, getting another energetic laugh from him.
PING PONG!
In unison the two looked at the clock. It was 18.55PM.
"I think it's Sanji. I'll open the door." Luffy said, stood up then walked towards the door.
"Ok."
* HnO HnO HnO HnO HnO HnO HnO HnO HnO HnO HnO *
"Yo!" Greeted Sanji when the door was opened.
"Sanjiii!" Luffy replied, beaming with energy as he usually was. "Oh! Zorooo! You also came!" He added when he spotted the greenhead behind Sanji.
"Oi.." came his bass voice.
"Waiting long?" the blond snickered, puffing out the smoke to the opposite direction of Luffy then he quickly threw the smoke butt before stepping on it.
"Nope. Torao is inside. Come on in."
"Ojamashimasu*1…" Sanji sang stepping inside, followed by the green head.
"Oh.. Zoro-ya! You also came? What had happened?" The brunette asked, frowning in confusion.
"So I can't come to your house?" Zoro asked with a smirk on his face.
"That's not what I mean, idiot! Welcome."
"Had your dinner?" Sanji asked when they reached the living room.
"Nope! You want to cook for us?" Luffy replied with another question.
"Let's see what can I do."
"Wait… You two didn't come just to dine with us, right?" Law frowned, trying to guess what these stupid lovey-dovey wanted to. Sanji and Zoro looked at each other before smiling. A very quick smile, you wouldn't even realize it.
"I have something to discuss with Luffy." The blond answered nonchalantly with his back while moving towards the kitchen.
"And I need you to accompany me somewhere." Zoro added with his eyes fixated on the brunette, who quickly answered back with a scowl on his stoic features.
"Shishsihshi! Sanji is needing something from me? That's new…" Luffy frowned, though he followed the blond into the kitchen. If only Luffy had a tail, you would see it wagging energetically.
"You'll like it. But first, Let's start with…." Sanji hung his words while rummaging through the fridge, scanning available ingredients to make some cooking. He had pride as a cook. He would make cuisine from whatever ingredients you provide him. And up until now, he had never let anybody down. That was how far he had honed his skill.
"Hmm… Chicken, vegetables and avocado eh? I'm quite surprise Luffy can stock things like this." Sanji chuckled when he found the green colored leaves in Luffy's refrigerator.
"Shishishsi! Torao said it's good for health and I don't want Torao to get sick."
"Good food and balance nutrient are what you need, isn't it? Now, as much as I don't want you to bother me in the kitchen, you still have to tell me where is the pots and pans and utensils I need for the cooking, so you stay." Sanji ordered the noirette while leaning onto the cupboard.
"Eeeee…! But that will be boriiiinnnggg…" Luffy whined, "I want to join To-"
"No But! Besides, I want to discuss something with you. I did say that, didn't I?"
"Ah! You're right! Okay I'll stay."
Luffy said, changing his mind just like that.
"Where are you going actually?" Law asked, trying to guess what was the duo intention.
"I need booze in my system, then we can talk about this. Lead the way, doctor."
"I don't really need a drink today."
"I need one. You can order other, right?" Zoro smirked, replying Law's rebuff. The brunette sighed, though he looked troubled, he didn't really feel like that at all. It was just how he acted.
"We'll be leaving to the nearest pub. Call me when the food is ready." Law said before leaving.
"Enjoy your time!" Luffy replied.
"Don't let my marimo get lost! You'll lose your food too!" Sanji added, with his hands were still working on the chicken on the cutting board skillfully.
"Shut up you, shit cook!" Zoro grumbled in embarrass, followed by some laughter from the other.
"He will be back intact." Zoro smirked before stepping outside.
"Off we go, Bye Luffy-ya."
"Have fun guys…" Luffy replied giggling, giving his lover a quick kiss then he closed the door.
