The Words I Love You

Real Date

Sanji took a deep breath. He gave Zoro the choice to plan the whole day and he's nervous because he doesn't know what Zoro has planned. He stops at the front door of Zoro's house. He looks down at himself making sure that he looks good. He wore a sky blue hoodie under a black double breasted coat, with some form fitting jeans and vans. The weather has been very bad, snow has been piling up so he's curious on where Zoro could take them. He seemed to look good but what if Zoro didn't like it. He rings the doorbell and waits.

Zoro finally answers the door. Sanji stared at Zoro. The first thing he noticed is the light blush on his cheeks. Then is the fact that he has his hair swooped to the side, it looks really nice on him. The blonde even noticed that Zoro's earrings look even more polished than before, he must have cleaned them for today. That thought made his heart flutter. Sanji smiles at Zoro, who smiles back. The marimo has his winter coat on, fitted jeans and converse.

"Ready?" Zoro asks as he move out the door to close it.

"Yeah." Is all sanji can say as Zoro locks the door.

Sanji and Zoro make it to the small metal gate when a loud busting sound is heard behind them. Both turn to see Bonney at the door. She gives them a look over before grinning, a glint in her eye. "He's got a curfew." she says.

"Zoro planned the day so I don't know how long we'll be out." Sanji answers, strangely nervous in front of her for some reason.

"No funny business, we have people watching everywhere." she warns giving them a pointed look. Zoro's blush gets deeper while Sanji gets as red as a tomato. Then Bonney makes a face like she got the best idea. "Zoro why don't you go ahead, I've got a few words for your boyfriend." she looks at the blonde, suddenly feeling very warm. Zoro nods then starts walking. When Zoro is far enough Bonney hops over to Sanji in her weird not matching pajamas. "Do you like how I styled Zoro's hair?" she asks. Sanji blushes, shy that she knows about them but nods. "Since Dad isn't here and doesn't know I'll do it," she frown and gets in his face, "you hurt Zoro I'll break your legs." she threatens and Sanji had a feeling she meant it. This was a lot better when she thought they were just friends.

"How did you know?" Sanji asks.

"I knew from the beginning. There was something about the way you and Zoro talked and acted around each that I've only ever seen in couples. Zoro didn't mention it so I didn't ask. It was cute, he was trying to hide it today, but man does he sick at lying." Bonney smiles as she shakes her her head. "The others don't know, not even dad. Zoro doesn't even know I know. He's not hiding it but he's not talking about it. So if you both have some secret promise to not tell anyone then don't worry he has kept it." Bonney says. They don't have anything like that but it's nice to know she cares. "You go have fun, both of you." she turns with a wave bye and goes back into the house.

Sanji stood there for a second before turning and running to catch up with Zoro. When he found him he's shocked to see far he got. He gets close then says, "so where are we going?"

"Some place I haven't been in a long time." he says with a smile.

Sanji nods. "I have a question for you, are you upset that I haven't told Zeff about us?" Sanji says. Zoro looks at the blonde shocked.

"No why would I be? It's not like I've told my own father about us either." Zoro says. "I don't know if I'll ever be able to tell my dad about us." Zoro says upset about it.

"Same, I don't know if I could ever tell Zeff."

"We don't have to think about it," Zoro says, his mood getting better, "look we're here." Sanji looks over at the direction Zoro is pointing at. It's a building he's never seen before. At least he's never noticed it before. The area he's in, he's been before many times. It's a very popular shopping district, it is also popular for after school hang outs. They all use to hang out in this area back in middle school all the time. They haven't since high school started, and Sanji can't remember Zoro ever really being there at all when they got together after school.
