More than a prostitute (Zosan)

Chapter 16

The next day, Zoro was awakened by happy screams. He wanted to sleep more, but the sun was already there, and the boys' noise prevented him from going back to sleep. Still tired, he decided to get up, but the pain in his ass made him frown. He took off his trousers and underwear and looked in the mirror. Two large red marks appeared during the night. Thankfully, he took in his luggage the repair cream and applied it to the marks. In a few days, they would have completely disappeared, but by then, it would be painful. He changed himself, still wearing the same clothes from yesterday, and opened the door to encounter a running Luffy with a big smile.

"Hey Zoro! Come, Sanji had prepared the breakfast." Luffy screamed happily.

Zoro could have done without this moment, but he was hungry. Yesterday, he left the table without finishing his plate and was now feeling the lack. So, he made his way to the dining room to find everybody around the table. There were almost as many different dishes as the day before, but this time, most of them were sweet. Some were European specialities like waffles and crêpes, but there were also others like pancakes, bacon, and scrambled eggs.

"Good morning!" Zoro greeted everyone. He went to his seat by patting the head of the three boys, who all groaned from disapproval. This was their ritual every morning. Once the boys' breakfast was ready, Zoro would call them in and, before going into the bathroom to get ready, he would ruffle the three boys' hair.

His seat was once again the one in front of Sanji but decided not to pay much attention to him. It's not because they are in the same house that they need to talk to each other. Zoro sat down gently on the chair but couldn't help making a little grimace when his buttocks touched the seat. This was noticed by Sanji, who smiled slightly. The boys talked about their dream of the night and what they would probably do on the day, and decided to go to the pool in the morning and the beach in the afternoon.

The atmosphere around the table was lively, as none of the adults were talking. Nami was still angry with Sanji and had no desire to talk to him. Zoro remained silent, listening to the boys' conversation. As for Sanji, he was on his phone most of the time, probably already working.

"Thanks for the breakfast!" The boys shouted once finished eating. Sanji smiled as he saw most of the plate empty. But she frowned when he saw that the plat of pancakes was still intact.

"Don't you guys like pancakes?" Sanji frowned. With Luffy's appetite, all the plates should be empty, so he didn't understand why this one wasn't.

"Oh yeah, we love pancakes!" Chopper replied with a big grin, but Sanji frowned even more. So they love pancakes but didn't eat his pancakes, were they bad?

He took one of them and ate it. No, the pancake was good. It didn't have too much sugar. So why didn't they touch it?

"So why didn't you eat one of them?" Sanji asked.

"Well, it's because we love Zoro's pancakes!" Luffy replied with a big grin. "Zoro pancakes are the best. No one knows how to do it like him. So, when we eat others' pancakes, we are always disappointed. So, we don't eat them if it's not Zoro's."

Sanji stared at Zoro, surprised, who was blushing. This man knew how to cook? And his pancakes were more tasteful than his? Is it even possible? Yesterday, he remembered Chopper talking about another soup that Zoro made that was delicious, too. Well, he needs to taste them.

"Well, maybe one day, you could make them?" Sanji asked with a soft voice. "Please?" Zoro looked at him confused. Never did Sanji look at him and talk to him that kindly. He was a little taken aback by the change in the blond behaviour.

"If you want to." Zoro replied, not smiling.

"Great!" Sanji exclaimed happily. "And Luffy, I have a proposition for you." Luffy looked at him, surprised.
