ZoLu Imagines II 🏖

Blind Date | 2 🥀

Instantly, Sanji sprayed his drink out onto Brook's hair, making the singing skeleton go on a rampage.

"SANJI-SAN, NOT THE AFRO, DO YOU HAVE ANY IDEA HOW HARD IT IS TO KEEP IT THIS WAY?" He nearly cried out, grabbing napkins to dry himself as the blonde male apologized.

"WE'RE NOT DATING EACH OTHER, LUFFY!" Usopp proceeded to shout as the voices continued to grow louder in the ship.

"But you just told us you had a date!"

"With Kaya!! I'm going out with her tonight to the new restaurant Sanji and Nami are going to operate in town today." Luffy's eyes widened as Usopp smiled brightly.

"That was today?"

"You didn't forget, did you?" Zoro asked the younger man who grew embarrassed, seeing how slightly upset the Cook and Navigator appeared.

"Of course I didn't! How could I forget such an important thing!? Is that why you two are dressed up the same?" He asked while his lips curled to one side, making him pout.

Knowing that facial expression of his all too well, Zoro chuckled. Any time Luffy makes that face, it was because he was lying about something.

This made everyone sigh, rolling their eyes at the young Captain while he nervously laughed.

"Yes, it is. Why else would we dress this way, Luffy?" Nami questioned, crossing her arms at her forgetful Captain.

"Because you two looked like a couple, so I just assumed-" Sanji caught everyone's attention when he accidentally strangled himself with his necktie, causing a scene.

"IF NAMI-SAN ALLOWS IT, WE WOULD!" Nami rolled her eyes at the blonde haired male, giving him a soft laughter that drove him wild.

"Restaurant owners don't date."

"THAT WASN'T A 'NO'." His legs twirled majestically while he desperately ran after Nami with hearts popping out of his eyes.

Zoro smirked, watching the Chef ridicule himself in front of everyone without a care in the world.

"Hey Ballerina, when your recital is done can you twirl your ass back to the kitchen? We're hungry over here!" Overhearing Zoro's sarcastic response, Sanji huffed at him.

"Not listeniiiiiiing, get it yourself!" Sanji took off like a rocket behind the orange haired woman, too focused on getting an answer from her to attend to anyone else.

"Hey, Sanji!! That's no fair, he left us without food!" Usopp whined with a frown.

"I'M HUNGRY!!!" Luffy and him started to rage like a group of toddlers, throwing tantrums at the table.

"That's what love does to you, guys. Give me your plate." Zoro stood up with Robin as they both went to serve food for everyone else.

Once they were seated, their delicious breakfast feast began.

"Don't dirty your suit, alright?"

"Mhmm, I'll try my suuuuper best but can't promise you nothing." Taking a glance at Robin and the way she interacted so kindly with Franky made Luffy smile fondly at the mature couple.

The young adult wished his own relationship was as balanced as theirs was... But truth be told, it wasn't.

He doesn't recall doing anything special with Zoro, in spite of them being together. They began dating just a little over a month, yet Luffy never felt as if anything changed in between them.

In the back of his mind, things could have been much more different than he had imagined they would be.

"Luffy, can I talk to you after breakfast?" Robin's voice snapped the boy out of his trance, urging him to nod at the woman, wondering what she wanted to talk to him about.

~A while later~

Luffy was sitting on the edge of his bed, contemplating many different thoughts that carelessly ran through his mind, when he heard someone walk into his room after knocking on his door.

On the other side of that door was his good friend Robin, who he was supposed to meet up with earlier to speak about something appearing to be rather important.

"Luffy, how would you feel about going on a blind date?" The sudden inquiry she had made left Luffy with something new to acknowledge.

"What's that?" He questioned, tilting his head ever so slightly to his side as Robin giggled.

"Let me explain."

As the older woman began telling Luffy all about what blind dates were, his interest in going on one had reached its peak.

Having revealed so many new things that happen on these mysterious occasions to people who go on dates like these, the Captain fell asleep halfway throughout the conversation but woke up when something was brought to his attention.

"Table manners? What's that about?" He asked, furrowing his thin brows with curiosity.

"These are the things you need to do when dining at a restaurant, Luffy. You are coming to Nami and Sanji's restaurant tonight, right?" The boy nodded.

"Then you should know a thing or two, at least the basics, of proper table manners in fine dining establishments. This restaurant isn't like those fast-food chain places."

"So... You were saying?" Growing slightly more self-conscious about his habits, the younger male gave Robin a chance to teach him all about table manners, in hopes of not embarrassing himself in public.

Normally, things such as 'proper manners' weren't concerning to Luffy. He considered himself peaceful at most restaurants... Until Robin pointed out how noisy he can get in them.

"Let's see, the time you slammed your fists against the table and everyone started to stare at you-"

"I was calling the waiter." He stated. Robin raised her hand, pointing her index finger outwards.

"When calling out to a waiter or waitress, point your finger upwards like this. Go on, try it. Pretend I'm the waitress." The boy cleared his throat as Robin walked by him with an empty tray of food.

"Hmm... Now what do I normally say..."
