The Words I Love You

Sanji's Turn

Sanji stood in front of Zoro's door nervous. He looked down at himself to make sure he didn't have anything wrong with his outfit, that he looked presentable. He didn't want to make a bad first impression. Since Zoro had gone to meet Zeff it's his turn to meet Zoro's family, mostly his father. It's his turn to meet the family, as it were. It's only fair. He did wonder if Zoro's siblings were there. He'd like it if they were, so that there weren't any awkward silences between him and Mihawk. Plus, he feels that having more than just Zoro be there would make him feel better, and less nervous.

The blonde takes one last breath, then reaches forward and rings the doorbell. He heard it echo, then there was a loud crashing sound. "I got it! Stay back!" He hears Zoro shout.

"Come on Zoro! I want to open the door too!" He could tell that is Perona's voice. Bonney's is deeper.

"Well he's not here for you! And why are you here? Don't you all have work!" Zoro shouts. Sanji couldn't hear their answer but he heard them all mumble something. He couldn't figure it out, he also didn't have time to as the door opens and he sees Zoro blushing at him, but with a smile. "Hey, sorry for the crowd." Zoro says looking back at his siblings, and in laws, as they stood gathered a few feet behind Zoro. "Is that a bowtie?" Zoro asks seeing Sanji in black pants, a blue plaid shirt, with suspenders and a bowtie. Sanji gives him a weary grin.

"To much?" He asks.

"No, I think it's cute." Zoro answer with a grin, blush still on his face. The answer making Sanji grin and blush himself.

Sadly, the moment is ruined as Zoro's family whistle and 'ooh' behind him. Zoro steps to the side to let him in as he give a glare to his family. Why must they all be here?

Sanji smiles as he walks in with the siblings staring at him. "Hello." Sanji greets them.

Smoker raises his eyebrow, looking at Sanji up and down. He looks at Zoro. "Nothing's going to happen, huh?" Zoro looks away. Sanji blushes. That's right they did tell him that, months ago when this first started.

"Come on." Zoro says, ignoring the confused looks from the others, reaching for Sanji's hand to pull him away, the blonde just notices that Zoro is wearing an apron. Sanji feels a hand wrap around his other wrist, making him stop and pull Zoro back. Zoro looks back to see Bonney pulling Sanji. "Let go." Zoro says pulling Sanji, but Bonney pulls back.

"No, he could sit with us." Bonney says pulling the blondes arm.

"Yeah, we haven't gotten to talk to him." Perona says. Zoro shakes his head, that's the one thing he doesn't want.

"He's my boyfriend, go to work or something." Zoro says pulling him.

"It wouldn't be a family dinner if I left." Bonney smiles.

"Then come back when it's done. Or don't. I'll send the food to you." Zoro says pulling on Sanji who doesn't know what to do as the siblings play tug-a-war with him. Should he say something to them? Should he choose a side? But who should he go with? Zoro or his siblings? Of course he would like to be with Zoro but the whole point of being here is to meet the family.

"Roronoa, something's burning." they hear Mihawk says. The blonde turns to see him reading a newspaper and drinking tea. The arm that Zoro held on to drop as the marimo remembers that he's cooking.

"The garlic bread!" Zoro shouts, leaving Sanji and running to the kitchen. Sanji couldn't help the smile that grew on his face. He will always love the way Zoro looks when cooking, he takes it as serious as he does his training. As an aspiring chef he could appreciate that. His bubble is popped when he hears Zoro's siblings talk.

"Let's go to the living room." Bonney smiles as she drags the blonde to the living room where Mihawk sat on a large recliner with his newspaper and cup of tea.
