Awhile after pulling Luffy closely towards his chest, Zoro squeezed at his bottom, abrading his insides during their sexual intercourse.
They were minutes away from reaching their much-needed release, when something caught them off guard: Footsteps.
Many different footsteps that were easily recognized by the Captain and his lover, who had stopped moving to get a closer listen.
"Think they're here for us?" The Swordsman asked, running his hands down Luffy's back.
"I doubt it." Just then...
"ZORO! LUFFY! THE PARTY STARTED, WE'RE WAITING FOR YOU TWO TO CELEBRATE WITH NAMI AND SANJI!" Chopper called out with Franky.
"Still doubt they aren't here for us?" Zoro teased, seeing the younger boy frown with disappointment.
"I have an idea." Using his devil fruit abilities, the Captain stretched his rubber arms out to turn the lights off in their bedroom.
Afterwards, he shut his eyes and listened carefully for any strange movements or voices.
For a moment, they thought that their friends had left and sighed out in relief.
Being in complete silence was already difficult for Luffy to deal with, but to add to that tension, the older man decided to start moving again when they thought that the coast was clear.
However, it wasn't. And this was something that neither Luffy nor Zoro were aware of.
"Ahh..." Pushing his head further into the bed, Luffy felt a familiar rush of adrenaline travelling to the parts of his body that connected with his heart and sexual organs.
"Ready yet?"
"Almost.." Luffy breathed out, panting in sync with Zoro who was equally as excited as the younger man.
"What the- It's locked!" Their eyes widened, hearing Chopper's voice on the other side of the door.
By now, he was attempting to turn the doorknob and Luffy couldn't focus on anything other than the fear he felt in being caught in the act by him.
To their misfortune, the lock on their door was the easiest to open with almost anything ranging from a butter knife or flat spoons, to a small coin.
Basically, everything else other than the key itself.
"Guys!!" Raging in silence to themselves, Luffy and Zoro had no other choice but to put their sinful shenanigans on hold.
The younger could feel every part of his body weakening while getting dressed with Zoro.
"WOAAAAAH, WHAT HAPPENED TO YOU TWO?!" Chopper asked after the boys opened their bedroom door, revealing an impatient crewmates of theirs.
"We came... Back home to get freshened up." Zoro teased, looking over at Luffy who had a worrisome expression on his reddened face.
"Luffy, you don't look so good. Why are you so red?" Placing his hand on top of the boy's head, Chopper grew even more worried.
"You have a fever!"
"Nope. I'm alright, see?" The Captain insisted, tickling his crewmate to make the younger boy laugh.
"You... Won't make me blush like that, darn you!" Chopper giggled, swaying from left to right with a cute smile.
"I came here to tell you that everyone's already in Kin'emon's house, we just need you two!" A bitter dryness was surrounding Luffy's mouth as he nodded to the younger boy.
"Let's go then... Oh..." Growing weaker, Luffy almost fell to his side but was held up by Zoro who became his stability when the boy had none.
"Are you sure you're alright?" Chopper asked with a serious tone of voice.
"Never bother- I mean, better! N-never better!" Though being persistent in wanting answers from his Captain, Chopper decided to let him be.
"I'll get rid of it later... How long can the party be anyways."
~ 3 hours later ~
It had been three hours since the Strawhats made it to Kin'emon's party, and while many were enjoying themselves, drinking and dancing to the beat of the upbeat music, there was one particular couple that hadn't moved from their seats since they first got there.
"Luffy-dono! Zoro-dono! I hadn't even realized you were here, why so quiet? Are you enjoying the party?" Their close Samurai friend asked.
Luffy was so spaced out, he didn't even realize that someone had asked him a question, leaving Zoro to answer for the both of them on his behalf.
"Yeah, the booze here is great! It's our first time in your house actually. You have a really nice place, Kin'emon." Zoro complimented the man's apartment, earning his gratitude from Kin'emon.
"Thank you, make yourselves right at home. Do you need anything?" He politely asked, gaining two different reactions from Zoro and Luffy.
As one of the two elegant men shook their head in denial, another had nodded his head 'yes' to Kin'emon.
"Uh-huh.. Bathroom. Mind taking me there?" Luffy admitted, making Zoro choke on his drink with an overly exaggerated cough.
"Of course, there happens to be no one there right now, so I'll take you." Standing up from his wooden chair, the boy thanked his friend and started to walk beside him when something stopped him from taking a step further.
"I could take him, Kin'emon." Zoro responded with a dark, raspy voice.
"No, he can't. You have no sense of direction, Zoro."
"This is a small house, it's easy to find the bathroom here." Zoro apologized to Kin'emon after feeling he offended his humble abode when deeming it 'small'.
"You lose your way to the kitchen IN the Sunny sometimes, a ship you live in!" The younger fussed, battering his fists in the air.
"Stop fighting, how about I just take you both there?"
"... Alright, sure." The boys followed behind their good friend, arriving safely to the restroom which was still unoccupied by anyone.
Seconds after thanking the man, he left and Luffy was alone with Zoro.
"Guess I should be going too." Zoro decided, turning his back to take his leave.
Delaying the man before he could walk away, Luffy took a hasty decision of his own and tugged on his shirt.
"You're coming with me." His low voice startled the man while being dragged into the bathroom by Luffy.
When taking a glance at the boy in better lighting, Zoro realized how different he appeared to him from when they left the Thousand Sunny.
There was a troublesome look on his face that wasn't going away, even being in private with Zoro and away from the others at the party.
"...Luffy? Are you alright?"
"Zoro, haha.. Sorry." A dark shadow was cast beneath the boy's eyes as he recklessly reeled Zoro in and pushed him against the cold tiles located on the bathroom wall.
"What's this about?" The older man questioned, confused in between feeling turned on or concerned about Luffy's well-being.
"I can't take it anymore..."
