Shouldn't Be Falling

The First Day

"Rise and shine! Breakfast is in five minutes. Those who need to shower should do it now!" A man called.

Sanji grumbled sitting up, he got up making his bed and hid his stuffed animal behind his pillow and then headed over to his uniform. He pulled it on and turned to Zoro. Who was sawing logs and seemed to be a heavy sleeper. Sanji finished tying his tie before approaching Zoro. He poked his forehead, but, nothing. He poked his side earning a burst of laughter and he sat up. Zoro's face was a hot red color embarrassed of his tickle spot. Sanji grinned mischievously. He tackled the green haired boy and tickled him. Which Zoro tossed him over and tickled him back. After streams of tears went down Sanji's cheeks Zoro pulled off.

"Don't do that again!" Zoro barked.

Sanji smiled sitting up, "But it was fun."

Zoro pursed his lips, "Whatever."

Sanji chuckled getting up and slid on his shoes before heading out of the room. Zoro rubbed his neck and got up getting dressed. He met Sanji down at the cafeteria. He stood holding his tray with his breakfast on it. But, he stood off to the side, since. He only knew Zoro. He hadn't really had the time to make some friends yet. Zoro grabbed his tray and headed over to Sanji. He smiled to him as he stood next to him.

"Would it be okay if I sat with you guys? Since I haven't made that many friends yet?" Sanji asked.

"Sure." Zoro said.

He lead him over to a round table with Luffy, Ace and Sabo. Who were shamelessly flirting with each other. Luffy perked up to the blonde and grinned.

"You must be Sanji!" Luffy said, "Zoro has the hots for you. Ace says, so you better not get too close or he'll catch on fire."

Zoro shoved his toast down his throat. Sanji chuckled as did Luffy's brothers.

"So, Where are you from?" Ace asked.

"Oh I couldn't tell you I'm new here."

"Oh cool. I'm Ace and this is my better half Sabo and our brother Luffy."

"Brother?"

"We aren't actually brothers, we kinda just grew up together since we were kids." Sabo explained.

Sanji hummed understanding, they chatted while they ate. Along with stabbing a fork into Luffy's grubby hands. Sanji looked out the window seeing a large lake and another tall building on the other side. Sanji cocked a brow to that.

"What school is that?" Sanji asked.

They turned to the building.

"Oh that's the all girls school, at the end of the year we go over there and we have a party. Play games, drink fizzy drinks, and all the food you could eat." Ace explained.

The bell chimed having everyone exit the cafeteria and then into the halls. Sanji looked to his scrap of paper finding his first class. Science. He walked down the hall to the room and poked his head inside. A man with tuft blonde hair sat reading a book. Then perked up to Sanji and smiled softly.

"You must be Sanji, welcome to Going Merry."

"Erm, what's your name. Sir." Sanji said walking into the room.

"Marco, Marco Phoenix. I'd prefer you call me Marco though."

Sanji nodded going into the classroom. The school welcomed Sanji with open arms and were very kind to him. Especially one student.

"You must be new."

Sanji perked up to a dark skinned man with a sweatband on his forehead and dark scruffy hair. He held out his hand to Sanji.

"I'm Gin." He said.

Zoro pursed his lips, he witnessed the scene from the doorway of the English class. Robin did as well seeing Sanji was making a new friend.

"Sanji." Sanji responded taking his hand, "It's nice to meet you."

"The pleasure is all mine, um. Later do you want to come by my room and I can show you my baseball cards?" Gin asked.

"Baseball cards?"

Sanji noticed Zoro who was practically burning holes in the back of Gin's head. Then he turned back to Gin with a soft smile.

"I'm sorry, a friend of mine is going to show me around some more. Maybe some other time."

"Really? Oh okay, I'll catch you around then."

The boy took his books and headed out of the room. Zoro went to his seat beside Sanji and sighed in relief.

"Your kinda cute when you're jealous." Sanji hummed.

"I wasn't jealous!" He barked.

He earned the attention of the other students. They snickered as Zoro pouted and crossed his arms. Robin welcomed Sanji into the class. Having the student's respond with a simple 'hello' or 'welcome.' All but Zoro, he just admired the blonde. When Sanji looked to him he snapped away for a moment. Then turned back to him. Robin caught him a few times, knowing Zoro has caught a case of puppy love.

Once classes were over the kids headed back to their rooms to have their free time. Sanji went to work on his homework while Zoro changed out of his uniform and into some ripped jeans and a t shirt. As Zoro was putting on his sneakers he perked up to Sanji.

"Hey, you gonna come play or what?" Zoro asked.

Sanji turned to Zoro holding a soccer ball.

"What about our homework?" Sanji asked.

Zoro chuckled, "Tomorrow is the weekend, we can just do it last minute. They give you a hundred percent for turning it in."

Sanji smiled, "Okay, let me change real quick."

Sanji changed into some shorts and a t shirt before into his shoes. He and Zoro raced downstairs jumping over student's and whatever was in their way. As Sanji reached outside first he kicked the ball out of Zoro's hands and over his head. Zoro was slightly impressed as they kicked the ball around. Until Sanji tripped Zoro, he grabbed his shirt before he fell. They both groaned with Sanji lying on Zoro. He pushed himself up and looked down to Zoro. He fluttered open his eyes to Sanji. He was practically glowing in the sunlight.

"Are you okay? Cause your face looks kinda funny." Sanji said.

Zoro smiled softly, "Yeah, I'm fine."
