"Maybe I could fall in love with you." ~ Zosan

6 | Im Sorry!

"I'm right here."

Came Zoro's voice, as he walked into the kitchen, his arms crossed over his chest. He looked mad, but there was an odd look on his face that the others noticed. One they wouldn't exactly be able to read at the moment.

Sanji froze, slowly turning around as he spotted Zoro at the doorway. Despite being drunk off his head, to the point he hardly cared about just how bad he looked right now despite being obsessed with his looks, he could still figure that this was one hell of a weird coincidence

Zoro walked closer, his expression didn't change as he saw how drunk Sanji truly was at the moment. He even seemed to be able to smell the alcohol on him from where he was standing, before he decided to simply speak up again.

"You said that you were looking for me to apologize?"

Sanji immediately got to it, stumbling towards him and grabbing his hands, his eyes wide

"I'm sorry! I'm so sorry! I didn't mean it! Please, don't take it to heart! I don't know what I was doing, I was so angry, so sad, so- hurt! You're a bastard for saying them things about my past! But God, I didn't mean what I said!!"

Zoro's eyes narrowed as he listened to his apologies, before he spoke quietly but firmly

"You said you'd never love me, would never accept my feelings and never be my lover. Did you mean that part though? Because if you did, we have absolutely nothing further to discuss here."

Tears slowly dripped from his eyes as he shook his head, pulling himself into Zoros arms and hugging him tightly, hardly remembering the crew witnessing this all go down in real time

"I didn't.. I didn't.."

The swordsman was taken aback at first, before he began holding his cook a little more closely, running his hand gently along the back of his head as he looked down at him with a gentle smirk.

"You really do love me, huh..?"

Despite having his face buried in Zoros shoulder, he could still nod, and did exactly that, sniffling as he continued sobbing and sobbing..

Zoro's arms would grow tighter around the cook, pulling him as close as possible as he gently kissed his forehead and ran his fingers through his blonde locks. After a moment, he spoke up with a soft laugh, the man himself seeming to be pretty drunk now as well.

"It's adorable that you can't even lie to me about that.. how much did you drink anyway?"

"He didn't count."

Nami chimed in, just to remind them both that the entire crew was there.. watching this..

"But we can tell you, he drank a lot,

Chopper would look up at Nami, with his eyes gleaming as the thought of him witnessing an S-Tier rare romance play out in front of him dawned upon him.

"Aww.. they're in love!"

Zoro chuckled, feeling his cook's head resting against his chest and his shoulders lightly brushing against the front of his shirt. He chuckled again, before speaking once more.

"You drunk idiot... you even spilled more secrets than you should have. "

"I was just being honest.."

"Being honest about your feelings is one thing, but admitting you're in love with me to the entire crew is a completely different matter. "

Zoro smirked, before shaking his head playfully and kissing Sanji's forehead again. He even decided to lift the man up a bit and gently twirl him in his arms
