~Awhile later~
"Best Valentine's Day ever, don't you agree, Limpy?" Zoro winked, helping the boy button his shirt back up.
"Definitely, nishishi!"
As they opened the door to lead them outside, there was a long line of people waiting to use the restroom... And some that had stopped to hear the commotion that Luffy and Zoro had started earlier.
"Sorry, did we take too long?" Zoro asked, apologizing on their behalf as Luffy hid his face into his neck, being carried by the older man on his back.
"Don't worry, we were just here to enjoy the show." They all teased, watching the couple grow embarrassed.
"Well, the show's over now. Glad you all enjoyed it... But I think we all know who enjoyed it more- OOF!" Zoro's eyes widened after being kicked by Luffy on his back.
"Kidding!" They giggled at each other, heading outside.
Leaving the party behind, Zoro tilted his head back to smile at Luffy while the boy surprised him with a quick kiss.
"Ow, violence!" The older man squinted his eyes after receiving such an aggressive kiss that made his head spin.
"Violence? Violence is what you used on my ass earlier!! I can't even walk!" Exclaimed the brown haired male with rage, rubbing his backside from behind.
"I can see you kept your savage side from when we were stranded in the Island. Isn't that right, Limpy?"
Luffy's eyes went blank as he raged behind the older man's back, throwing rapid punches at the air.
"I'LL PROVE IT TO YOU TOO. GUM-GUM NO... GATLI-"
"You dummy! What are you fusing about!?" Zoro shouted back, guiding himself towards the Sunny.
"Damn!! I can't walk because of you now!"
"Who's the one that wanted it "harder" and kept bitching to leave him "crippled", huh?" Luffy's cheeks reddened again as he fumed.
"SHUT UP! I- I just said it in the heat of the moment!!"
"Sheesh.. You got your own self into this. Don't blame me." The Swordsman sighed, being yelled at the entire way home as he kept on getting lost.
"I said go LEFT!"
"I did go left, dumb shit!"
"THAT WAS RIGHT!" Hearing Luffy admit this made Zoro feel confused.
"IF I WAS RIGHT, WHY ARE YOU YELLING AT ME THEN!?" He shouted at his foolish Captain.
"RIGHT. I SAID TURN LEFT, NOT RIGHT!"
"I got it. I got it! Just stop yelling at me!" Lowering his head at the younger, the man took another turn and stopped when he felt something hit his head.
"WHAT WAS THAT FOR?!" He questioned, raging again.
"THAT WASN'T ME, IDIOT! IT WAS THAT TREE BRANCH." Having misjudged the younger boy after seeing a branch on the floor, Zoro apologized as they heard a familiar voice shouting at them from behind.
"The Sunny's this way, you ding bats. Get your butts over here!" Nami shouted, leading the lost boys to their ship.
"I could've found the Sunny too... Hmmph!"
"What noise did you make just now, Zoro?" Luffy whispered back at the man, making him feel exposed as they spoke in silence behind Nami's back, being guided back to the Thousand Sunny.
"A pitiful one, Lu. Why do you ask? To make fun of it?"
"No," Zoro stopped walking as he felt Luffy press his lips behind his neck.
"You sounded cute, nishishi!" This enraged and brightened the Swordsman's mood as he shook his head.
"Hey hey, I'm NOT cute! That's all you, 'Captain'." He grinned, feeling Luffy smack him on the head.
"Don't make me hit you like before!"
"SO THAT WAS YOU BACK THERE, WASN'T IT? TREE BRANCH MY ASS FOLLICLES!"
With their domestic bickering, the couple made it back to their ship before they even knew it and once they were there, things changed for the better as the night grew warmer.
~~~
"So, do you still think that this is the 'best' Valentine's Day ever?" The Swordsman asked with a smirk, running the shower for him and the younger boy.
Tossing his shirt onto the floor like they had done before at the party, Luffy felt guilty seeing it scattered on the ground.
"So much for our fancy clothes, we swept the bathroom floor with them twice already." The younger boy giggled, thinking about what Franky would do if he saw the mess he made of his clothing.
"We'll have to wash these tomorrow... For now, let's take a shower." Encouraging Luffy to get in the tub with him, the man slid the white plastic curtains apart and invited his lover in, staring down at his frame.
Every inch of his body looked like a work of art after being imprinted on by Zoro. In their eyes, at least.
When walking in, the brunette ran his hands up the man's chest, nuzzling his head into it as the other used their time in the shower to hold Luffy closely, giving him a heartwarming after care.
"I never got to answer your question, did I?" The younger asked with a soft smile.
"It's hard to believe you remembered I even asked you somethi- AHA! Ow ow ow!" Zoro started laughing while Luffy pulled at his ears.
"You really are MEAN! Bleeeeeh, now I'm not gonna answer." The boy teased, sticking his tongue out at the man.
"So mature, future 'King of Pirates'." His words left Luffy in a state of rage.
"Don't make fun of my motto!" He battered his fists in the air again like before, feeling them being pushed up against the wall.
"Payback for making fun of mine earlier." Zoro stuck his tongue back at Luffy for the first time, making him gasp.
"SEE? WHO'S THE IMMATURE ONE NOW?" He laughed, pointing his finger at the older man.
"I guess.. Stupidity IS contagious after all." The sound of them laughing echoed throughout the bathroom and even outside down the corridors of the ship, yet no one knew just how much the lovers were enjoying themselves.
"And... To what you said before, this is my answer to that-" Luffy closed his eyes, cupping the older man's face to give him a long-lasting kiss.
"I wish it was Valentine's Day everyday... To celebrate our love for each other, Zoro." The boy confessed.
"So do I, baby... Is someone crying?" The man asked before getting to lean in for another kiss.
"Nah, it's probably just the shower making that noise." Shrugging their shoulders, the couple smiled fondly at each other, kissing underneath the lukewarm water.
~Meanwhile~
"WAAAAAAAAAAAAH!!" A loud, overly dramatic cry could be heard from the outside of the Sunny as the crewmates rolled their eyes.
"Franky, you've been at it for hours now, stop crying!" Sanji shouted from the kitchen.
"T-those two are super cute, dammit!! I love them!" The blue haired Cyborg shouted back, wiping his tears.
"So do we, Franky. They fight like little kids but love each other harder than anyone I've ever met." Nami crossed her arms, smiling.
"Looks like their 'blind date' went well after all." Robin chuckled, pushing Franky with a devious grin.
"They'll never know we set them up together on purpose, will they?" He winked.
"Who knows... Let's keep them clueless of it for now. We'll tell them next year for Valentine's Day."
