The main distraction...

Part 1

"um, what.." Sanji's drink addled brain snapped back to the present. They had all been celebrating on the Sunny after evading the marines yet again. He had been staring at Zoro, not hearing any words, just staring at his lips moving, feeling the deep rumble of his voice. Distracted, I'm always distracted by Zoro, Sanji thought, and sighed.

"i said, I was never doing that again, it cost me too much money." Zoro looked at Sanji with his good eye, and smirked.

Luffy, Robin, Nami, Brooke, Ussop, Franky and Chopper had all drifted off to bed one by one, leaving Sanji and Zoro still drinking by the fire. The shitty cook had tried to match him drink for drink, and was obviously failing badly. He looked kind of blurry, or maybe thats just me? thought Zorro, and smiled to himself again. Blurry and cute he thought, so fucking cute , he raised his glass for another drink. Sanji had a dopey look on his face, and a small smile, lips just turned up at the edges, lips Zoro had always wanted to taste, they were red like cherries, I love cherries, he thought.

Sanji looked at Zoro, what had cost him money? Thought Sanji, I think i might have blanked out a bit there, too much booze, he thought as he shook his head to try clear the fog.  He'd been thinking how calming and relaxing the sound of Zoro's voice was, and sexy, to match his sexy body, whew getting hot here must be the fire, Sanji thought.

"Still, now at least I know that i'm not, and never will be into women" sighed Zoro, giving Sanji a sly smile over his cup as he took another drink.

Sanji stared, blinked then sat up straight, some of the fog in his brain lifted, "not into women" he parroted Zoro, " how did you know again?"

"you weren't listening" Zoro said with a slightly annoyed look " i just told you a secret, and you weren't even listening" he shook his head, and stood up "you want another?" and shook his cup towards Sanji.

"uh, yeah, thanks marimo"

"don't call me that" Zoro said, slightly more annoyed now. He went over to the table and filled both of their cups, came back and handed one to Sanji. "here, shitty cook" he smiled as he passed it over. His eyes flicked to the cups as their hands brushed against each other's, then glanced at Sanji, whose cheeks were slightly pink. Not cute, he thought, sexy is the word I'm looking for. Maybe gorgeous?

"Don't call me that" Sanji replied, with a little less heat than usual. He gave himself a mental shake, right concentrate "ok tell me again, the secret, tell me, i promise I won't space out again." He turned his attention to Zoro, fully, staring right into his eye. Lovely eyes, or eye as it was, hmmf don't get distracted again! He chastised himself.

Zoro raised his head and looked at the stars, closed his eyes and took a deep breath. He didn't know why he had told Sanji in the first place, did he really want to repeat it? "I said, for the person who wasn't listening before" looking Sanji right in the eyes "Fucking Nami, i'm never doing it again, it was embarrassing, uncomfortable and it cost me a fortune!"
