A.N. I'm a terrible person as you all know… so I won't even try to get my excuses to you…

At the moment Sanji had one of those 'what the hell am I doing here?!' moments.

He was a handsome man, and no, that wasn't his ego speaking, that was just a fact and he knew it. He also had nice manners, good job with stable income and nice apartment and even nicer friends – well, considering from which point of course, sometimes they were just the most annoying thing ever. But in the end of the day they were his friends and that was all that mattered.

So, with a life like that Sanji couldn't stop his thoughts from wandering. Why was he on this resort? With this quite hot – because he was NOT going to compliment marimo – guy, like he had some problems with getting laid. Which he didn't for the matter of fact.

The blond cook was quite lost at this point. Of course this was very nice vacation and all. But… The magic word 'but'.

But he didn't knew Zoro, sure the brute looked pretty simple, but everyone had a skeleton of some sort in their closet, some secret deep inside them, a point of themselves which they hide. Sanji knew that there is no perfect people.

Back to the Zoro. Sanji knew the guy for a couple of days and they were only few step away from shagging. Which of course Sanji wouldn't mind doing, and of course he did had several one night stands… But Sanji knew this wouldn't end with one time. The chemistry between the two of them was much bigger to exhaust it with some sex, he doubted that even a lot of sex would help.

The chef knew that they wouldn't be satisfied with barely that. Even though Sanji didn't like to admit it - he was a little scared. Scared that the two of them would fall in much bigger relationship, and he knew that it would happen if they decided to continue all of this after coming back – and Sanji had no doubt that it will continue if everything will go as it is going right now.

He wasn't afraid of relationship – he would love nothing more, but to try to tame that brute – he was afraid of what would happen if their relationship didn't work out… Of how hurt he would be, because Zoro is the first person he ever met who understood him so well, who comprehended his every mood swing. And he fought back, he wasn't afraid to make him angry, Zoro wasn't afraid when Sanji's wrath was turned at him…

Sanji wanted this to work out, oh, how he wanted that. But even after all these thoughts he came back to the first ones – what if he doesn't know all of Zoro?

He wasn't sure what to do.

Sanji sighed as he snuggled closer to Zoro's solid chest. Why the fuck was he stressing over such things in such early hours of morning?! He should still be in the post bliss after finally having sex and not wondering if their relationship will work out!

He's here to make sure it did, because the moss-brain wasn't made for it. The blond took a deep breath of Zoro's skin, yep, he was crossing that 'will this work out?' bridge when he gets to it…

-II-

Zoro, Nami and Robin entered the Baratie and were showed to their table. "The sous-chef is my personal friend and he invited us for dinner tonight."

Zoro looked around the fancy interior and then his gaze traveled to Nami with a questioning look. "What is this place anyways?"

Name face palmed and Robin chuckled. "It's so like you Zoro-san, not to know where you are. This is a famous restaurant – The Baratie."

Zoro's eyes widened, but then a smirk appeared on his face. "The Barartie, huh? Oh, this is going to be fun…" He muttered quietly.

The door to the kitchen opened and a certain blonde strolled out to the dining hall. Zoro had his back turned to the door, but Nami and Robin saw the blonde and smiled widely. Before any of them could greet the blonde, the cook noticed a certain green hair a rose his curly eyebrow. "Oi, Marimo! What are you doing in my restaurant?"

Zoro turned his head to the cook and smirked. "I came to eat at your restaurant curly-brow."

Robin looked at the two surprised, but soon a knowing smile appeared on her lips. Meanwhile Nami looked at the two without a clue. "What?! You two know each other? I was waiting to see how the two of you are going to interact, if I knew you two are acquaintances I would have invited someone else..."

Zoro laughed and Sanji smirked. "Mellorine, Zoro is my boyfriend."

Name gaped, but then she noticed Zoro's hand around Sanji's hips and that Sanji was stroking Zoro's green locks. She then remembered seeing a glint in Zoro's eyes when he heard cook's voice, she remembered that Sanji's voice was strangely happy when he called upon Zoro. Nami face palmed.

"It's not like you Nami-san." Robin smiled. "You're not this inattentive usually."

Nami shook her head. "It's just that I was sure that Sanji is a lady's man."

Sanji looked at her with a terrified look and started speaking in an over dramatic way. "Mellorine! I like nice abs as much as nice curves!"

Zoro chuckled. "Come here cook."

The green haired man pulled Sanji in his lap and the blonde grinned, he was clearly enjoying this position. Nami looked over the couple who were bickering with smiles on their faces and felt a smile appear on her lips.

"They look happy together." Robin whispered to Nami.

Nami nodded. "They certainly do."

A.N. Sorry if this is cheesy, this my old thoughts (the second part) and the new thoughts meshed up together…

I hope those who waited for this so long are a little happier now! ^-^
