As Sanji walked off, he headed toward the bathroom. He walked in and shut the door behind him, leaning against the door as his nose started bleeding.
Holy shit
holy shit
holy shit
He kissed me. He actually kissed me. He loves me? He does. I cant doubt it, he said it himself. And he's actually willing to work something out?! That happened so fast I don't even know what to think.
He covered his face with his hand to stop the blood from dripping onto the floor.
He rinsed off his face in the sink, washed and dried his hands and went back to Zoro.
Before he went to Zoro, he grabbed a blanket out of the closet in the boys locker room.
Once he found Zoro, he was sitting on the grass, leaned against the wall. Sanji sat down next to him, unfolding the blanket and laying it on top of himself.
Zoro looked at him.

"You didn't move your hair back" he said.

"Oh- Uhm. Yeah I..I forgot about it." Sanji replied.

"What's wrong? Is the panic attack not over?? You're stuttering, is everything alright?" Zoro asked, sounding worried.

"No no! Everything's alright I'm just..Uhm.I don't know." He replied, looking back at him.

"Confused?" Zoro said.

"Yeah." Sanji said, nodding.

"Same here. I feel like I'm dreaming." He said.
Sanji leaned onto him.

"I thought you hated me. I was fully convinced I would never be this close to you." Sanji said.
Zoro put him arm around him.

"Yeah..I've never actually been attracted to women. I realized that from you, I never wanted to tell you because I was ashamed of it." Zoro said, looking at the ground.

Sanji grabbed Zoro's hand, and intertwined his fingers with his.
"Well stop being ashamed of it, I love you too much for you to do that." Sanji said.
Zoro laughed a bit.
Sanji yawned, He moved over onto Zoro's lap and leaned against his chest.
Zoro blushed a bit. Sanji rested his eyes as he held onto Zoro's hand. They're basically the same height, so Sanji had to move downward a bit.
Sanji was still holding Zoro's hand, He grabbed Zoro's other hand and put it onto his chest. Zoro was blushing like crazy, he's never gotten this type of affection, especially not from Sanji.

"Is the swordsman blushing? How cute." Sanji said, teasing him.
Zoro adjusted his arms around Sanji, holding him like a book, and hiding his face in his shoulder.
Sanji started blushing as well, he found it quite adorable on how clingy he is.
Sanji smiled, and rested his eyes again. He raised Zoro's hand up too his lips, and kissed it.
Zoro's face was turning red as he continued to hide it in Sanji's shoulder.

God dammit I love him. Damn cook. Zoro thought.
Sanji put Zoro's hand back on his chest.

"Thank you." He said.

Zoro was confused.

"What do you mean?" He replied.

"For helping me. I really needed it." Sanji said.

"Anytime. I promise I'll try and be there for you whenever I can." Zoro said.
Sanji smiled, and dozed off into a light sleep.
Zoro stared at Sanji, as he fell asleep as well.

They sat there on the ground, outside. The moon was now covered by the clouds making the sky darker. The ship drifted in the ocean, nothing else in sight. Not a single ship, island, rock, nothing. Just water. The waves hit softly against the ship, quietly.

In the morning, at about 6am, Sanji woke up. He was still in Zoro's arms, but they had fallen over and were laying down on the ground instead of sitting up.
Sanji felt as if it was the best sleep he had gotten in a while.
His hair was all messy, and his eyes were half open.
He still had his hand in Zoro's hand, not necessarily holding it but their hands were still touching. He was resting his head on Zoro's arm, which was surprisingly really comfortable.
Though he did have a headache from the amount of crying from last night.
He groaned, and turned around facing Zoro. He wrapped his arms around him and pulled himself closer.
Sanji felt a hand being set on his head. A comforting hand, running its fingers through his hair. It was calming, and soothed the headache.
He shut his eyes again, relaxing.

Zoro was awake, not completely. But awake enough to be aware of his surroundings. He gently and slowly ran his fingers through Sanji's hair.
He knew Sanji had a headache, he knows what it's like the cry that much. And the headache that happens afterwards.
He didn't talk, and sudden noise could make it worse. So he continued what he was doing.
Sanji kept his head on Zoro's arm, keeping himself close to him. It was usually cold in the mornings, plus they were outside.

"Good morning moss head." Sanji said, quietly.

"Good morning, cook." He replied, in the same tone.
Sanji groaned.

"I need to get up...and make breakfast.." he said.

"I mean what's a couple more minutes gonna hurt? Just stay here for a bit longer, I know you have a headache. It'll make you lightheaded if you get up now." Zoro replied.

"...eh, I guess you're right." Sanji said, and kept his eyes shut.
Usually Sanji makes breakfast at around 7am, and is done at around 8am. It was about 6am so Sanji didn't mind staying asleep a bit longer. Zoro continued stroking his hair. He put his head down and held Sanji close.
Fast forward about 15 minutes, and Sanji sat up. He rubbed his eyes and yawned as Zoro sat up as well.

"I'm gonna get started on breakfast, will you put the blanket back in the closet in the locker rooms?" Sanji asked.

"Yeah sure, also don't stand up too fast, I don't want you to pass out."
Sanji nodded.
"Just move slower, don't rush anything. It'll increase the pain of the headache." He said.

"Moss head it's fine, I'll be okay there's no need to worry so much." Sanji said with a smile. He kissed Zoro on the cheek and stood up.
Zoro blushed as Sanji walked away.
