Perfume for the Fallen

Incubus

"Yes, they are male succubus's and steal women's lives without leaving a mark on there bodies." Brook explained.

"That can't be possible." Zoro snorted.

"It can be. Just consider it I will explain more tomorrow." Brook said.

Sanji turned back to his phone as Zoro hung up before going back to eat. Sanji glanced back to Zoro cocking a curled brow.

"What was that about?" Sanji asked.

"Some detective assumes a incubus is somehow tied into all of this." Zoro groaned, "This is why I should of been looking into the case. Instead of some old guy who comes up with dumb shit like this!"

Sanji got up and went into the fridge pulling out a beer and uncorked it before sliding it over to Zoro.

"You might need this." Sanji said.

Zoro took the beer and chugged it down. While Sanji went back to the sofa and lied back against the armrest. Zoro finished eating and placed his plate in the sink before going to Sanji's room to undress. He stepped out in a white tank top and pajama bottoms. Sanji glanced to Zoro who sat next to him. Sanji kicked his legs onto Zoro's lap and hummed.

"It's good to have you home. Is it bad to say that I missed you?" Sanji asked.

Zoro glanced to him before putting his arms on the back of the couch, "I don't live here. So this isn't my home."

"Oh? But you can keep your clothes here, sleep in my bed, and eat my food just because?"

"That's not what I meant."

Sanji sat up and straddled Zoro's hips. He cupped Zoro's chin tilting him to look up to him. A soft glow of gold was in his eye looking down to Zoro with a soft frown.

"Then, what did you mean?" Sanji asked.

Zoro looked up to Sanji his eye focused on the ocean blue. Slowly being absorbed into his gaze. Unaware that Sanji was slowly inching closer to Zoro until he was an inch away. Sanji's thumb came over Zoro's bottom lip swiping away the small amount of drool down his lip. His blue eye glanced back up to Zoro and smiled softly. Zoro was entranced by his gaze. Stuck under some spell that Zoro couldn't turn away from.

"How about you get some sleep, officer." Sanji said.

Zoro slowly nodded as Sanji backed away and headed into his room. Where he changed into his night shirt and crawled in bed. His back was faced to the door so when Zoro walked in. He couldn't tell if Sanji was asleep or not. Which he wasn't. He was clutched to his shirt with his eyes squeezed tight knowing. He can't fall in love with Zoro.

The following morning Zoro woke without Sanji there. Assuming he went to work at the restaurant. Since Sanji always seemed to go to work earlier than Zoro. But would prepare a meal for Zoro before he left for work. So Zoro got up stretching and poping every muscule he could in his body before going out to the kitchen. Where sitting on the bar was a plate of food still steaming. Zoro must of woken up earlier then normal. Usually when he gets his meal. It's cold.
He sat at the bar and glanced over to the box of cigarettes sitting on the counter. He furrowed. Sanji left late, leaving his cigarette and his lighter behind. Zoro furrowed. He checked his phone seeing Sanji had texted him.

'Hey I left a bit later than normal. I was hoping you could drop off my cigarettes and my lighter. If you can I will reward you.' -Sanji.

Zoro hummed, wondering what his reward could be. So. He complied. Zoro got up getting back into his uniform before grabbing the box of cigarettes and the lighter. Then left the apartment and heading to Sanji's work. Zoro examined the box of 'death' cigarettes with a woman straddling the a large cigarette. 

"Of course he would buy the most expensive brand of cigarettes." Zoro grunted.

Then stole one. Putting one in his pocket for later. Zoro doesn't smoke, often. He will with Sanji on special occasions, like catching a bad guy or something. But what Sanji doesn't know wont hurt him right?

Zoro opened the door to the resturant and glanced around to the many customers eating breakfast. Then turned to the door being opened by Sanji. He wiped his hands on a rag before approaching Zoro. He folded it before hanging it on his apron and sighed seeing Zoro.

"Your breakfast was fine right? I was in a rush." Sanji said.

"Yeah it was good." Zoro said.

Then placed the box and lighter in his hands. Sanji smiled before embracing him. Zoro stiffened before relaxing as Sanji let him go. Then he got lost in that beautiful blue eye. Sanji handed Zoro a box and gave a soft chuckle.

"Thank you for taking your time to bring me my stuff." Sanji said.

Then he stepped away to the kitchen stuffing his box of cigarettes in his pocket along with his lighter. Zoro watched that bob of blonde hair disappear behind a double swinging door.

"What am I going to do with you?"

Zoro headed out of the restaurant and headed to work. Where Brook was waiting for him outside of his office. Zoro sighed going inside his office and Brook followed behind him. He rambled on about the cases all leading to a incubus. But Zoro waved off the idea as stupid and he had no proof. And very little proof of that incubus's existed.

Sanji stepped outside for a smoke break. Lighting his cigarette when a woman approached him. Sanji sat on the back steps of the Baratie blowing smoke off into the air. Then his eyes narrowed to the woman. All curves, beautiful and very, classy. She stopped before Sanji having his golden eyes reflect to her.

"I heard you're the best in town." She said.

Sanji chuckled, "Why of course, they don't call me Mr. Prince for nothing."

She handed him a slip of paper having Sanji take it.

"Six o'clock tonight. Don't be late." She said.

Sanji nodded, "I won't."

Zoro sat outside of the police station flicking his cigarette around his fingers debating if he should light it or not. As he put the butt into his lips and was about to light it the doors opened having Zoro turn to Smoker.

"There's a number six." Smoker said.

"Are you fuckin, okay let's go." Zoro barked.

He shoved the cigarette and the lighter in his pocket before he and Smoker got into there car. Smoker flicked on the sirens and they sped off to the location. Which turned out to be an apartment. Zoro and Smoker held close to their guns as they pushed open the door to the apartment. Soft music played and candles were lit in the room. Smoker checked out the living room while Zoro went through the bathroom and the bedroom. He pushed open the bedroom door where flower petals littered the floor and red sheets were on the bed. A woman lied on the bed. She wore sexy red lingerie and a handful of red roses were in her hands. Zoro lowered his gun holstering it and sighed.

"Damn it." He sighed.

Smoker headed into the room seeing the woman and sighed.

"I'll call the others." He sighed.

Zoro noticed something on the ground. Something. White. He furrowed approaching it and seeing it was a cigarette bud. He furrowed pulling out the cigarette in his pocket. Where. The butts had matched. Zoro furrowed picking it up and put it in his pocket.

"It better not be you..." Zoro growled.
