I've been watchin' you for some time
Can't stop starin' at those ocean eyes
No fair
You really know how to make me cry
When you gimme those ocean eyes

- Billie Eillish





- What is that? - Zoro asked awkwardly. - I thought all our friends were going to be here, so I decided to come.

- They had an unforeseen event.

- All of them? - Zoro asked in disbelief.

Jotaro lit the last candle.

- Yes.

- And you decided that turning it into a candlelit dinner for the two of us would be a good idea?

Jotaro stated shaking his head. Zoro would try to be as polite as he could. He still agreed to be friends with Jotaro after they broke up, but the older man insisted on rekindling something that could no longer be saved. They ate in silence, after all, Zoro had nothing to say, and he was even meeting someone. But every time he looked into Jotaro's ocean eyes, he felt a certain nostalgia and he always had to remind himself that he only missed the moments, and not the person themselves, he didn't miss having Jotaro not treating him as he deserved.
- Are you seeing someone? - Jotaro's voice was always intimidating, even when he spoke softly.

- I am. - Zoro wiped his mouth. - I'm full. Really, Jojo, I need to go.

Jotaro held Zoro's arm but without strength, so as not to hurt him.

The green-haired man's body shivered with that touch.

"My body is betraying me", he thought.

- It's Sanji, isn't it? The blonde guy from the restaurant?

- H-how do you know, Joot?

Jotaro lit a cigarette and turned on the lights, following Zoro into the room.

Sanji looked into Jotaro's blue eyes and the cigarette in his mouth. He thought about Sanji and how he was being kind to him, even though they didn't have anything yet, they were just getting to know each other. He couldn't let a past feeling, a past relationship ruin something they could create in the future.

- Do you have a fetish for blue-eyed smokers? - Jotaro asked rhetorically while letting out smoke and laughing.

Zoro had just thought about it, and ended up laughing along, even though it was almost imperceptible.

Jotaro led Zoro to the door.

- Do you wanna a ride?

Zoro denied.

- I came in my car. It's old, but it's still useful for taking me places.

- Zoro?

- Hmm?
- Thank you for staying at dinner, even after realizing my intentions. - Jojo gave a roguish smile.

- a You knew nothing would happen after all. And I know you, you wouldn't force me into anything. You would only do anything if I allowed you to.

Jotaro gave the smaller boy a thumbs up.

- So can I kiss you goodbye again? - Jotaro asked softly.

- No. And you said that the other times, that it would be the last time, and I always gave in, so if I don't stop this myself, it will happen forever.

- I know you too. You won't kiss me because you're meeting someone. Even if you're not even dating him yet. It's in your nature. I remember when we were just hooking up and you said you wouldn't cheat on me, even if it wasn't anything serious.
