Shouldn't Be Falling

End of the Year Ball

A/N: Quick question, should Zoro propose to Sanji or Sanji to Zoro? You'll see later on why.

Button up shirts, bow ties, slacks, and dress shoes. All boys were attending this ball. It was like an introduction into finding the love of their lives. But. Zoro already found his.

"Are you serious?"

Zoro turned to Sanji. His shirt was buttoned off and the collar was lopsided. His bow wasn't even under the fold of the collar. Sanji clicked his tongue approaching Zoro who pinned him to a wall. Sanji's eyes flicked to the buttons unbuttoning them and buttoning them in the correct holes. Then straightened his collar and latched the bow into place before straightening it. He stepped back and nodded.

"You can do the rest yourself. There is no way I'm sticking my hand down your pants." Sanji said.

"That's what you think." Zoro muttered.

"What was that?"

"Nothing."

He tucked his shirt into his pants while Sanji brushed his hair. He hummed before picking up the black mask sitting on his bed. He snapped it to behind his head then turned to Zoro putting on the identical same one. There was a bell as the door was opened and they left following the other boys. Where they were taken into boats and they rowed onto the other side of the island. Sanji and Zoro sat next to each other. Sanji's eyes watching the building coming closer and closer. While Zoro. Was watching him. He glanced to the building before back to Sanji. He cleaned up really well.

As the boats reached the other side of the island. The boys headed inside the building finding women of all ages having Sanji lit up like a firework. He grinned as he mingled off with a bunch of girls his age. Zoro clutched his coat watching Sanji disappear and his heart broke. A hand took his having him turn to an orange haired girl with a white cat mask. She held it over her face with a stick and smirked to Zoro.

"Well well, long time no see. Zoro." She said.

"Tsk, leave me alone you brat." Zoro hissed.

Nami pursed her lips putting her hands on her lips, "That's no way to talk to a lady!"

"You ain't no lady." Zoro retorted.

Zoro turned back to the crowd seeing Sanji flattering some girls. Nami put her mask to her face looking to Zoro's then glanced to the crowd. She noticed the new blonde haired boy earning the attention of some girls a year younger then him. Nami hummed turning back to Zoro lowering her mask slightly.

"You like him don'tcha Zoro?" Nami asked.

Zoro clicked his tongue, "No way."

But his eyes never left Sanji's face. He watched him light up and smile to those girls. Zoro gritted his teeth grinding them slightly. Nami rocked on her heels as she watched the blonde being taken to the dance floor.

"Maybe." Zoro sighed.

Nami turned to him cocking a brow.

"Maybe a little bit."

"Say no more. I've got this."

Nami picked up her dress and headed into the crowd. She slipped between everyone before getting up to the blonde. Nami put her mask to her face before reaching out and tapping on his shoulder. Sanji turned to her and he grinned.

"Oh hello-"

"How about a dance?" She asked.

Sanji nodded taking Nami's hand and they went to the dance floor. They danced slowly to the soft classical music that filled the room.

"So. You must be Sanji." Nami hummed.

Sanji blinked, "I'm sorry, have we met?"

"No, but I've heard allot from you from a reliable source."

"Reliable so-"

"Sanji, at ten o'clock I want you to go upstairs and meet me in the closet from the bathroom. Understand?"

"B-But don't I get to know your name first?"

Nami took his hands between hers and looked up at him with her sparkling chocolate eyes. Pleading, begging. Sanji's heart fluttered swallowing thickly and nodded. She smiled batting her eyes.

"Thank you, I'll see you then." Nami said.

Then, she was gone. Disappeared. She was quick, and could never be in one place for too long. Sanji looked around for her as he stood on the dance floor by himself. Then checked the clock. It was an half an hour before ten. Sanji noticed Zoro sitting by himself by the punch bowl looking down to his glass cup. He smiled before approaching Zoro. The green haired boy looked up to him and pouted slightly.

"What do you want?" Zoro huffed.

"What are you doing here all by yourself?" Sanji asked.

Zoro remained silent and sucked down some more punch. Sanji took his glass away before pulling him up on his feet. Zoro gave Sanji a confused look while the blonde smiled.

"Come on let's dance." Sanji said.

"I'm fine here." Zoro huffed.

Sanji smirked, "Are you chicken?"

"I'm not chicken."

Sanji pulled away, "That's something only a chicken would say."

Zoro pursed his lips, "I ain't chicken!"

Sanji started clucking around Zoro before he dragged Sanji down to the dance floor. But he stood there awkwardly like he didn't know what he was doing. Sanji only smiled pulling Zoro close and giving him a helping hand. By holding hands and placing his hand on Sanji's shoulder while his hand was on Zoro's hip. It took some work before Zoro was able to go in the right direction but. It wasn't easy.

"You think you can lead now?" Sanji asked.

Zoro shifted unsure.

"How are you supposed to dance with your wife if you don't know how to dance?"

"I wasn't planning on it." Zoro said.

Sanji cocked his head to that, "What do you mean?"

But the clock chimed, having them both turn to the clock striking ten. Sanji turned to Zoro and sighed.

"You can tell me later. I have to go."

Then Sanji left having Zoro slowly tail behind. Zoro poked his head down the hall as Sanji met Nami in front of a closet door. Where Zoro watched Sanji kneel before her like she was some goddess. Zoro growled to that.

"Now Sanji, I want you to get in this closet." Nami said.

"Of course." He said.

And with little effort went in the closet, Nami turned to Zoro and motioned him over. Zoro stepped out and approached as Nami went over to the lights in the hallway. She flicked them off before shoving Zoro inside the closet with Sanji. Zoro slumped to the floor before the door was closed behind him. Nami brushed off her hands and stepped away from the door.

"Zoro." She hummed, "You will forever be in my debt."

Zoro sat up as Sanji helped him up.

"Are you alright?" Sanji asked.

He nodded having Sanji sigh in relief. Unaware that Zoro was in the dark room with him. Sanji knelt forward leaning over to Zoro with a small smile.

"Sanji." Zoro whispered.

Sanji was taken aback, Zoro was in the closet with him. Alone. He stiffened slightly as Zoro cupped his cheeks bringing him closer.

"To answer your question." Zoro started.

He kissed Sanji softly on the lips for just a moment. A warmth washed over both of them before Zoro pulled away.

"I wasn't planning on marrying a woman. I want to marry someone like you." Zoro said.
