Perfume for the Fallen

Why, Why You

He knelt down to Sanji with hurt and pain in his eyes. Sanji was curled up agaisnt the wall avoiding eye contact. Zoro reached up his shirt to the wire he was wearing and ripped if off. He tossed it on the ground and stomped on it before he knelt down before Sanji.

"Tell me Sanji! Why did you do it?!" Zoro cried.

Sanji turned to him, "I'm hungry! I'm tired of eating bland food from you humans! It's an never ending craving!"

Zoro growled grabbing Sanji by the shoulders and kissed him roughly.

"Get out of here." Zoro said.

"Wh-what?"

"Get out of here, go home."

He helped Sanji up before pushing him out of the alley. Sanji stepped away before going home. He hid as Zoro's group sped down to him. He then finished his way back home. Where he sat in the dark with his tail between his legs.

"I'm sorry, Zoro."

Zoro cried out as he punched the brick wall and pulled his hand away. Blood dripped from his knuckles and slumped to the ground. He hit his fist onto the ground and clutched onto the ground. His teeth grit as tears threatened to fall.

"Why did it have to be you!" Zoro growled.

The sirens blared as Zoro sat back on his knees. His eyes focused on the blonde wig flung onto the ground. Smoker stepped out and approached Zoro and noticed the wire. He picked it up and growled slamming it down on the ground before turning to Zoro.

"Well?! What the fuck happened?!" He barked.

His eye was still on the wig, "He escaped. We had a small tuft before he tripped me and left me here. Then bolted out of the ally."

Smoker sighed, "Damn. At least you tried."

"He says he isn't going to be hurting anyone anymore."

And with that, Zoro headed home.

Sanji perks up to Zoro stepping into the room. Tears pricked the corners of his eyes, while they were red and puffy. He clutched onto his pants as Zoro stepped inside and sat next to Sanji. His puffy blue eyes kept to Zoro who sat there before he gave a shaken sigh.

"I'm not going to lock you up. Just promise me you won't do anything like that to anyone again." Zoro said.

"Yeah." Sanji sniffled.

Zoro turned to him and they embraced giving soft kisses to each other.

But. As time went on. Sanji grew weaker, and weaker with each growing day. He grew pale and when Zoro tried to ask him about it Sanji just shrugged it away.

That following night Zoro pinned Sanji to the bed and kissed him roughly on the lips. Sanji kissed back wrapping his arms around Zoro's neck, weaving his fingers through his hair. Zoro pulled away kissing down his cheek to his neck as Sanji hummed. Zoro pulled back with a smirk on his lips.

"How about we rile up some of your nerves. Break out your inner demon." Zoro purred.

Sanji's smile faded, "You mean have sex?"

"Well yeah, you are a sex demon."

"N-no I can't you said. I could-"

"Relax I did a little research and I know I can't die from having sex with you."

"Yes I know but-"

Zoro's phone started to ring, he pulled off Sanji and rolled over to his phone. Sanji pulled up his knees watching Zoro chat on the phone for a minute before he sighed. He put his phone away before he turned to Sanji.

"Looks like I'm being called in early. This discussion isn't over." Zoro said.

Sanji chuckled, "Sure, you go and play mr bad cop."

They kissed softly before Zoro left. He headed to the station where he was greeted by Smoker. They talked about a robbery case before Zoro was sent to his office to go over the file. Once he was in his office, the book sat on his desk. Sitting in the middle on top of his papers like someone placed it there on purpose. Zoro glanced around before shutting the door. He set down the file before he picked up the book. He opened it finding a bookmark inside.

He furrowed flipping to the marked page in the book. Zoro sat down setting the book on the desk. He scooted up to the book before pulling on his glasses. He began to read the stained pages about incubus's. His eye slowly widened as he began to read more intensely picking up the book. He flipped to the next page before snapping it shut and bolting out of the room.

"Hey where do you think your going!" Smoker barked.

Zoro turned to him, "I'm taking the day off!"

Sanji sat at home as he finished with his coughing fit. Seeing there was more blood on his hands then the previous time. He sighed washing it away and looked up to himself.

He didn't have much longer.
