Sanji couldn't sleep, he'd been thinking about the kiss ever since last night. He couldn't even eat. He didn't know what the kiss meant to Zoro, though it was obviously not intended.

He went straight to the kitchen and cooked breakfast. Soon he called out and the crew came in and ate their breakfast.

Sanji sighed. Zoro hadn't had any breakfast this morning, which meant he seemed to be affected by this also.

He didn't show up for lunch either. Sanji was starting to get worried.

Sanji went up to the crow's nest. He looked around and found Zoro within an instant.

"Zoro, we really need to talk."

Zoro turned around, surprised to find Sanji there. He frowned and looked away from Sanji. "There's nothing to talk about."

"Zoro look, if you've been worried about getting my hopes up or something, then stop it. I didn't really expect you to ever like me back." Sanji sat down next to Zoro. Truth to be told, he had been lying if he'd said he didn't get his hopes up that moment, but Zoro didn't need to know that.

Zoro didn't look at Sanji. "What's for dinner?"

"Do I look like I'm heartless? Come on, I saved you some lunch." Sanji stood up and walked towards his kitchen, knowing Zoro would follow him.

The cook had saved him lunch. Zoro couldn't help but think that it was sort of …nice of him.

They got into the kitchen and Sanji gave Zoro a plate with some sort of fish on it and rice. When he started eating he couldn't help but notice Sanji staring at him the whole time. It was getting sort of uncomfortable but he acted like he hadn't noticed anything.

Zoro finished quickly and thanked Sanji for the meal. Sanji smiled in response.

It wasn't just a smile. It was a real smile. It made Zoro happy that he could get Sanji to smile like that.

Zoro shook his head as if he could shake the thoughts out of it. "Hey cook, I forgot to tell you yesterday that there's nothing between Nami and me. It was just a misunderstanding."

Zoro exited the room.

After that they seemed to spend a lot of time together; they went out drinking together, shopping together and even sometimes they just sat together in comfortable silence. Since Sanji told Zoro about his feelings he had missed having Zoro as a friend the most, he didn't know they could be friends even with Zoro knowing.

A few weeks had passed since Sanji confessed.

Sanji would sometimes get lost in his fantasies when he was with Zoro. He thought that his feelings might go away after accepting that Zoro would only ever be his friend, but they didn't.

Sanji was still madly in love with Zoro.

Sanji decided that maybe he just needed to get Zoro out of his system. He thought that if he would fuck some other dude that maybe he could forget about him.

"Hey Zoro, I'm going out. When Nami asks then tell her I went to a bar." Sanji told Zoro.

Zoro put the weights he'd previously been lifting down and turned around to reveal his sweaty sexy body. "You're going to a bar? I'm coming with you!" Zoro smirked.

Sanji looked awkwardly away. "Actually I'm not going to get a drink. I'm just going to find some company."

"Oh…" Zoro didn't sound pleased. "…then I'll see you tomorrow." Zoro turned his back to him. He continued lifting his weights.

Sanji wasn't sure whether he reminded Zoro of the day before or if he just didn't like gay people.

Sanji shrugged it off and went to a gay bar.

'It's weird. I've liked Zoro for so long that I got used to it. I always wanted to give up on him, but at the same time I didn't. You never know until you try …right?'

He sighed. 'But now that I already confessed, I don't know what to do with these feelings anymore… that's also the reason why I'm here.' Sanji looked away from his shoes and up at the bar. 'Attempt to give up on Zoro number one thousand, good luck Sanji!'

Sanji entered the bar and ordered a drink. He took a sip of it then looked around.

Zoro didn't know why, but it bugged him that Sanji was going out for the purpose of fucking some random guy.

He thought he was over the whole 'Sanji is gay' thing. Zoro never thought of himself as a homophobic person.

Now that he thought of it that way, he didn't mind that Sanji was gay. He just minded that Sanji was going out with someone… would he mind if it was a women and not a man?

Yes.

Which lead to the conclusion…

'Zoro you idiot!' Zoro thought as he jumped of the ship and ran into town.

Sanji looked around.

He noticed a guy with flaming red hair that seemed to have his eye on him since he entered the bar.

The red haired man didn't look away from Sanji's gaze instead he smiled and walked towards him.

"Hi, I couldn't help but notice you here. Did you come alone?"

"Yeah, I did."

"Would you like to dance?" A lame excuse to start body contact, but there wasn't anything better to say, Sanji figured.

The song didn't really match a slow dance, but Sanji wasn't really in the mood to dance quickly.

Zoro cursed his sense of direction. He had to hurry to find the stupid bar, but so far he hadn't found any bar at all!

He had stopped a few times for directions, but he still hadn't found anything.

'Damn it, I have to stop him'

The man kissed him. They had been dancing a while before this happened.

Before Sanji even knew it, he was filling his head with thoughts of Zoro, Imagining Zoro kissing him instead of this guy.

The kiss didn't have any tongue action at all. The guy pulled away very slowly.

This was feeling a way too emotional. Sanji couldn't help it. His eyes were wide open as tears poured down his face.

The man's eyes widened. "Are you okay?"

"I'm sorry, I can't do this." Sanji said right before he hurried out of the bar.

It was snowing. He tried to walk faster without slipping.

Sanji sighed when he'd gotten so far from the bar that he stopped hearing the music.

'Attempt to give up on Zoro number one thousand… a failure.'

Sanji just couldn't be with that guy. It didn't feel right to sleep with one person while thinking of another. And also, thinking of Zoro while being with someone else does not qualify as giving up on him.

Sanji looked up.

Zoro was walking towards him.

"Cook!" He said when he noticed him.

Zoro ran over to him.

"Are you okay? Are you crying? You should dry the tears away or they'll freeze."

"Stupid, they don't freeze that quickly it's not that cold." Sanji chuckled as he dried his tears away. "Besides, I wasn't crying. There was just something in my eye." A lame excuse. "What are you doing here?"

Zoro sighed. He looked away from Sanji as a faint blush appeared on his cheeks.

"What about you? I thought you went out for some 'company'…"

"I changed my mind."

Zoro looked at his feet. "…I…I came to stop you…"

Sanji blushed. "Why would you…?"

"Because I'm an idiot…" Sanji was going to say something, but Zoro cut him off. "…for not realizing this sooner."

Sanji swallowed saliva that had been building up in his mouth.

"I think I might be…no, I definitely am in love with you."

Sanji thought his heart would stop. "Zoro, if this is out of pity-"

"Sanji…" The sound of his name stopped him. Zoro only used his name when he was serious. "…you should know better than anyone that I wouldn't say something like that out of pity."

Zoro's hand made its way to Sanji's face and he used his thumb to dry Sanji's tears. "Isn't that right?"

Sanji wrapped his arms around Zoro. "Sorry, I just never thought you would return my feelings." Zoro returned the embrace. "I'm so happy."

Zoro smiled. "Me too."

Sorry for the dramatic chapter. I was just now watching the anime "kimi ni todoke" (those who have seen it would understand why I'm being dramatic) aannnd just letting you know that this isn't the end, I'm hoping to write an epilogue or just a last chapter.

And I know the end was rushed, but I didn't want to drag things out to another chapter since I'm feeling so unmotivated lately!

EDIT: Turns out I won't be making another chapter, sorry if anyone wanted another one. It's just been a while since I started this and I don't have any motivation at all.
