First ever fanfiction, so comments would be nice! (:

Thank you! 3

Should I continue writing this story?

"Hey Nami, tell me again why I'm here?"

"Because it's my birthday and you're not going to come up with a lame excuse to get yourself out of this., again!"

It's not that Zoro didn't like going to clubs, he just didn't fancy this 1 particular club, Akagami. He groaned as he followed his 2 friends into the club. It was Nami's 21st and he did worm his way out of her dinner party, so a night with free booze at the club he didn't like shouldn't hurt, right?

The moment he stepped in, loud music and blinding lights attacked him. This club was way beyond the type Zoro frequented. Akagami had so many features, it confused him at times. Although it wasn't Zoro's favourite place, it was the hottest new club in town. Everyone who was anyone was there every weekend. It's a wonder Nami managed to get them in free.

Zoro nearly lost his friends while he was standing at the doorway adjusting himself to the atmosphere of the club. Quickly, he followed his tall raven friend, Robin, before he was left alone, again. He saw a head of blond and was following it with his eyes, all the while wondering if the owner was hot. Snapping back to reality only by Nami knocking onto his head.

"Ow. That hurt bitch!" Zoro shouted while soothing his head from the hit.

"That'll teach you to not pay attention while I'm introducing the club owner to you." Nami snapped at him.

"Zoro, this is Shanks, Akagami's owner." Robin introduced Zoro to a man who was older with a head of red. He had scars across his left eye. Shanks certainly didn't look like what Zoro would have imagined the club owner to look like. Shanks was rough and had a laid-back feeling to his movements.

"Nice meeting you." Zoro was brought up by a really strict and scary mother, so he did have manners.

"Nice meeting you too, Zoro. I've heard so much about you." This caught Zoro off guard. He was certain he has never met Shanks before nor does he knows anyone who would.

"Luffy speaks of you almost all the time! Besides telling me he's going to marry Nami, that is." Shanks laughed. At this, Nami turned a deep red and excused herself to the ladies with Robin.

"Luffy?"

"Yea. Luffy's sort of my godson. He comes over everyday with his brother, Ace."

Now that made sense as to why Nami was able to get into the hottest club without queueing. As if hearing his name being said, Luffy came pouncing onto Zoro, Ace and some of their friends following behind. Having met Luffy a couple of times, Zoro has long been used to his monkey-like antics.

"Hey Zoro! Where's Nami?" Luffy gave his signature grin.

"With Robin in the ladies." Zoro noticed a very familiar head of blond at the back of the group and he immediately began shaking Luffy off.

"Now, I'll leave you kids alone. Anything just call!" Shanks left them with their first round of drinks.

Zoro has met the Portgas brothers' friends on a couple movie nights and gatherings. If the blond was a friend, he couldn't have missed. Nami came back with Robin, rejoining the group at the table. Zoro couldn't keep his eyes away from that head of blond. Especially when Luffy tried to introduce.

"Hey, Zoro this here is Sanji! He makes the best food!" Luffy's mouth begins to drool at the mention of food.

The smell of cigarettes started to fill Zoro's space as the head of gorgeous blond started walking towards him, hand extended. All Zoro could do was stand still, in case his knees buckled.

"Eh, Marimo! Don't you have any manners?" Zoro blinked a couple of times to register that thought.

"Eh Luffy, your friend deaf or something? He's not responding at all." Sanji came so close to Zoro's face that Zoro could make out his weird curly eyebrow.

"I'm not deaf, and I do have manners just not to freaks with curly eyebrows." Zoro's face turned into a smirk to hide his definite smile.

"Oh, says the one who has freakish green hair!" Zoro growled at that comment. Ace stepped in just as Zoro was about to attack the gorgeous blond again.

"Okay... enough. We're here to celebrate Nami's birthday, not listen to 2 hot-headed, stubborn men argue."

"Nami-sawwwnnnnnn~~~~ Sorry for my rudeness!" Zoro watched as Sanji turned into a wriggly pool of hearts.

"Figures." Scoffed Zoro. After that point, Zoro's mood was just murderous. Even Luffy stayed clear of him.

Zoro spent the rest of the night drinking while the rest danced. Drinking his 20th glass that night, a familiar smell of cigarettes filled his nostrils again. 'Uhhh. Not now.' Was all Zoro could think of.

"Hey Marimo, if you keep drinking like that you'll be wasted and have the worst hangover tomorrow."

"Nah. I don't get hangovers. Now go away, curly brow." Instead of walking away, Sanji sat next to Zoro. All Zoro could smell was cigarettes and Sanji's after-shave. He had to keep his hands busying by drinking another glass, or he'll want to run his hands through that blond hair.

"Don't bother me, wonder brow." Sanji laughed at that nickname. His laugh was nice and deep. Zoro loved it and couldn't stop himself from thinking how it sound saying his name. Zoro couldn't help but smile at that thought.

"I saw you when you came into the club." Shocked, Zoro sat straighter.

"You couldn't stop staring, can you?" Sanji smiled. Zoro figured he love that smile.

"Yea, I was wondering if the owner was hot. Turns out he's just a cook who's foul-mouthed and stubborn." Smiling Zoro turned to look at Sanji. Sanji was still smiling and started smoking another cigarette.

"And here I was thinking that head of green must be exotic. I was disappointed to find a hot-headed, ill-mannered hooligan." Zoro couldn't stop laughing. He was beginning to love this foul-mouthed and stubborn cook who was now gonna be the main lead in his fantasies.

"So, do you always turn to wiggly hearts when talking to girls, dartbrow?"

Sanji ignored that comment and continued smoking his cigarette. Zoro watched him place that thin cigarette between his mouth and wondered what it would feel like to have that mouth on his. Those thin, long fingers on him. Zoro couldn't help the rising problem within his pants, he just hoped the cook wouldn't notice.

"How about we leave this place and go for some food? I'm hungry and my place is just around the block, maybe I could cook something?" Sanji didn't looked calm and collected, unlike how Zoro is feeling.

"Is this an invitation?" Zoro tried to steady his voice, not wanting to show the cook how much he wanted to just follow him.

"Yea. If you're up for it. Not scared are you?" Sanji blew out smoke from his cigarette and smirked.

"No. I never step down from a challenge. Never."

The 2 men left the club leaving a group of unknowing friends.

'This wasn't such a bad night.' Zoro thought to himself as he followed Sanji home.
