Adore Me

Liar

Zoro sat on the bus looking at the plastic fake ring. He frowned softly seeing it gleam softly in the light. He noticed even after a day the paint was chipping off. Zoro grunted looking at it closer before clicking his tongue. Then noticed the bus had already pulled into school. He sighed knowing it wasn't going to be as enjoyable since Sanji wasn't going to be here. For two more days. He got off the bus to be jumped on by Luffy. He grinned over Zoro's shoulder before frowning.

"Hey what's wrong? You look like you're going to cry." Luffy said.

Zoro grunted, "I'm fine."

"Are you sad Sanji's gone?"

"Luffy I'm fine."

"You know I can tell when you're lying right?"

"I'm. Fine."

Luffy then noticed the ring and grinned, he slid off his back before taking his hand. Zoro groaned as Luffy snickered seeing it was fake. He looked up to Zoro with a big grin on his face.

"Are you guys getting married?!" Luffy asked.

"W-what no no. It's just a reminder that. I have someone who loves me." Zoro said.

Luffy smiled to the plastic ring, "Oh well. Now I want one from Law."

He pouted slightly before storming off. Zoro chuckled knowing Sanji might get an earful later from Law about the ring. But. Oh well that was Law's problem. So Zoro headed up to his class. Where he sat in his seat before pulling out his phone and checking to see if Sanji had said anything. Which he did.

'From Papa Bear:
Good morning my love, I hope you have a good day at school. I love you, please take care of yourself and I miss you terribly. Don't do anything stupid.'

Zoro smirked writing a letter back before locking his phone and put it in his pocket before the bell rang.

Once school was over. Zoro made his way out of school slowly. A nap was on his mind as he thought about sleeping in one of Sanji's shirts. Or his boxers. Zoro purred to the idea of both. He was about to step onto his bus when a hand grabbed his wrist and yanked him facing Law. He grabbed Zoro's hand looking to the flaking gold ring around his finger. Law growled snapping his hand away.

"So it's you and his fault I'm in the dog house." Law snapped.

"I didn't do anything. He was the one poking his nose in my business anyway. So."

Zoro headed onto the bus as Law folded his arms and watched Zoro take his seat before getting to his phone. Which Sanji had texted.

'From Papa Bear:
Hey, call me when you get home. I haven't heard from you for a bit so. I wanted to hear your voice.'

Zoro smirked before the bus had taken off and headed home. Where he stopped on a corner a block from Sanji and his house. Zoro was quick to get home to find Loulee at the door. He grinned picking her up and petting her softly before heading into the kitchen. Zoro pulled off his backpack and put some food in Loulee's bowl. She purred before going down to eat while Zoro grabbed something to snack on himself. He opened a bag od chips before pulling out his phone and calling Sanji.

Sanji perked up to his phone ringing as he sat on his suitcase. Since tonight would be the final night he was going to be there. He smirked seeing it was from Zoro and picked up his phone.

"Hey bear." Sanji smiled.

"How's things there? You doing okay?" Zoro asked.

"Relax, I'm fine. I'm a big boy I can handle myself."

"Sorry, I. I just miss you. It's our first time apart and I. I've never been this lonely. Even in your own house."

"Awe bear, don't fret. I'll be home before you know it."

"When are you coming home?"

"I'm leaving tomorrow morning. So I'd be home by the middle of the day."

Zoro frowned, "Oh. I see."

"Well I have to go. I do love you though. It was good to hear your voice. I'll chat with you before I go to bed."

He sighed, "Yeah, love you too."

Sanji sighed hanging up his phone and smiled softly. He looked to his plane ticket seeing the time was set for that night. Not in the morning.

"Boy won't he be surprised." Sanji chuckled.
