My Darling Wife

2

The doorbell rang, and both Zoro and Sanji froze. Cautiously, Sanji reached for the small blade that he kept strapped to his upper thigh. He made sure to hide it before looking at Zoro. The man in question nodded his head and opened the door. A little boy with short brown hair and some sort of red top hat stood gingerly at the door. Zoro and Sanji did not relax at the sight. Anything could happen. "H-hello. My, my name is, is Tony Tony Chopper. My dad told me to, to invite you to have dinner with, with us." Tony stuttered. It was clear that he was nervous. "Oh honey, we'd love to have dinner with you." Sanji put on his best feminine voice. "Isn't that right, babe?" He looked at Zoro with a strained smile. "Yes, we would. What time?" Zoro asked, and Tony seemed to light up. "Seven! I live in the house to your left, don't be late!" With that, the boy ran off to the left.

Zoro and Sanji both sighed when the door was closed. "I'm going to change, then we need to go to the store." Sanji growled and snatched up his luggage. Zoro also grabbed his luggage and followed the blond upstairs. "You take the master, I'll take one of the spares." Zoro said and walked into a bedroom. "How very sweet of you. Don't come to me if you get nightmares now." Sanji sneered and walked into the master suite. He shut the door and began to strip. He discarded the boring blue dress on the floor and began unlacing the black corset we wore. "Whoever chose a lace corset clearly needs to get their face kicked in." The blond grumbled as he unclipped the front. He tossed it onto the bed and took in a huge breath of air. He unzipped one of his suitcases and pulled out a pack of cigarettes. He quickly found his golden lighter and lit his cigarette. He deeply inhaled and felt the nicotine kick in instantly. He slowly let the plume of smoke out of his lungs. Right then and there, he didn't care about the fact that he was only in his boxers or the fact that he still needed to unpack. All he focused on was all his stress melting away with each breath.

The slight scent of smoke hit Zoro's nose. This caused him to relax because he knew his partner was relaxed. For years, he and Sanji had been partners. They knew each other better than their own mothers. It was true that they would get on each other's nerves often, but from all the bickering and fighting, they knew how the other was feeling. The level of trust they had in each other was the exact reason why they were chosen for this mission. Donquixote Doflamongo needed to be stopped, but the problem was that he was closely related to Trafalgar Law. Law, a surgeon, and a good agent entrusted this task to the duo. He knew he would let his emotions get in the way of the mission. It pained him that he wouldn't be able to bring his so-called 'uncle' to justice. "Oi, Marimo. Let's go to the store." Sanji called from the doorway of Zoro's room. "Yeah, sorry zoned out." Zoro grunted and looked over his partner. "That's my shirt." He then commented.

The blond was wearing a blue Hawaiian button-up shirt and a pair of black sweatpants. "I'm not wearing that damn corset again! My ribs are bruised, and I can't breathe in that thing." The blond whined as he left to go downstairs. Zoro rolled his eyes and followed. He watched as his partner put on a pair of black high-top converse. "Fix your makeup." Zoro ordered the blond and started to put his own shoes on. "Don't tell me what to do!" Sanji kicked Zoro in the back and stalked to the powder room. "Oi!" Zoro snapped, but Sanji was already gone. With a sigh, the greenette could only wait while his partner did whatever it was he was doing.

Sanji reapplied some mascara, eyeliner, blush, and a tiny bit of lip tint. He then put up his blond locks into a messy bun. His bangs fell over his left eye. He walked out and waited for his partner's approval. "Good enough." Zoro simply shrugged, and opened the door. Sanji scoffed and sauntered out. "Off to the store so I can get some baking supplies." The blond smiled and walked away from their little home. "Do you know where you are going?" Zoro asked and followed closely, so he wouldn't get lost on the unfamiliar area. "I looked at a map before we landed. Main street is about a ten minute walk from here." Sanji informed the greenette. Zoro simply nodded and looked around.

Silence fell upon the two, but it was a comfortable one. Both men were taking in their surroundings. Suddenly, four children came barreling towards them. Zoro sidestepped, and pulled Sanji with him. A dark skinned man with a long nose was scolding the children before jogging up to the two bystanders. "I am so sorry about that! Those hellbringers don't know how to mind their manners." The man breathed. He seemed to be out of breath. "It's alright, the sidewalk is for everyone." Zoro said and let go of Sanji. "It is, isn't it. The name's Usopp. You two must be new here." Usopp held out a hand to Zoro and then Sanji. "We are. I'm Sanji, and this is my husband, Zoro. It's a pleasure to meet you." Sanji said and smiled at the man. "Nice to meet you too." Usopp smiled as well and turned towards the children. "Genna! Rocko! Presley! Abby! Get over here!" Usopp called to the four children. There were three girls and one boy. "These are my little munchkins. The tallest is Genna. She's almost twelve. The twins are Rocko and Presley, and this little demon is Abby." Usopp picked up the little toddler. "Hello!" The three older kids said. The little one hid her face in her Father's shoulder. "Well aren't they darling little things. Isn't that right, honey?" Sanji nudged Zoro in the ribs. "Yes, they are. I don't mean to ge rude, but you seem a little young to have kids their age." Zoro told the father. "Oh, we adopted. My wife was very sick when we were in our teenage years, and it caused her to not be able to have children." Usopp explained and tried to prevent little Abby from taking a dive bomb to the pavement. "Say you're really pretty, lady!" Genna told Sanji. Sanji smiled at her. "Why thank you. You are very pretty as well. I'm sure you're going to grow up to be a beautiful flower." Sanji told her and booped her nose. After that the two parties split ways and the duo still needed to go to the store.
