Meant to Be

Welcome Back Zoro!

Zoro stood in front of Sanji's door, "How ya doing Sanji?" He ask. But the cook could bearly speak, "W-what a-are you doing here so early?"

The cop rubs the back of his neck, "My parents wanted me to come back, not that they are kicking me out or anything, they just wanted me to come and visit y'all again." He chuckles.

Sanji stared for a while but steps to the side to let Zoro in, "Well come in, I don't wanna leave you outside forever."

As Zoro walked in Sanji noticed the bag in his hands, "Are those your things, you got a place to stay?" Zoro looks down at his bags, " Oh I thought I could stay here, I-if that's okay with you and Pudding of course." Sanji's eyes widened at the sound of Pudding's name.

The cop looked at him concerned, "Are you okay? You seem to be scared of her name is she okay?"

Sanji looks away, "She um, she cheated on me." He mumbles. Zoro grabs his shoulders, "What! Why!" Sanji looks away, looking as if he was gonna cry, Zoro takes note of this and pulls him in for a hug, which is something he hasn't done in a while.

Sanji feels the warmth radiate from Zoro, it was somewhat comforting, he hugs back hesitantly.

Zoro let's him go and looks into his eyes, "I'm sorry Sanji, I really am." The cook shrugs, "It's not your fault she-"

"No I'm not talking about that bitch, I'm talking about me," he stops, "I'm sorry for leaving Sanji, I bet I worried all of you, I hope I didn't hurt you." Sanji shakes his head, "No not at all, plus I knew you wouldn't be able to leave us for long."

Zoro laughs, "Yeah, yeah." They were both interrupted by Zoro's phone ringing. "Hold up let me take this."

Sanji nods and goes to sit on the couch, "Hey babe," the cook hears the swordsman say. Did he just say babe? W-what do I care tho, I. Do. Not. Like. Him.

After Zoro finished talking he came to sit in the couch with Sanji, "Sorry, my boyfriend doesn't like me being far from him, to be completely honest he didn't even want me to come back." Sanji could feel his heart break, why do I feel this way, I just got cheated on and I'm already having feelings for someone, was it always like this? No way I don't like Zoro, snap out of it Sanji, you don't like him, you don't like him, you don't-

"Sanji?" He hears his name in his mental war, "Wha-huh?"

Zoro waves a hand in his face, "Are you okay, you've been staring in space for a minute." Sanji blinks a couple of times, "Y-yeah I'm completely fine don't worry but ummm, w-would you like something to eat, I can make anything you like."

Zoro nods, "That would be nice, I haven't had food since I got off the plane." Sanji nods and heads into the kitchen.

He made a pretty quick dinner food and they both sat down at the table to eat, "So Zoro, his long are you staying?" Sanji ask. Zoro swallows the food in his mouth to allow himself to answer, "For about a month, why?"

A month, no I can't stay with Zoro for a month! This is bad, very bad! "Oh, nothing I just wanted to know how long my new roomie is staying." Sanji nervously laughs.

Zoro puts his hand on top of Sanji's as his concern for the cook rose, "Cook, are you okay, you seem a little flustered." Sanji yanks his hand back, "Yep! Completely fine, I'm just um, tired is all, I didn't get very much sleep the other night, especially after the Pudding thing." He shakily giggles.

Zoro furrows his brow, "Are you sure you're okay Sanji, I'm gonna be here for a while if you wanna talk?"

Sanji nods, "Yeah I'm good, but here let me show you to your room." He stands up but when he does he immediately feels lightheaded and falls over, right into Zoro's arms. "S-Sanji! Are you okay, hey!"
